Drumbeat on this stunning clear september morning, they gathered in Solemnity And Sadness in lower manhattan. 0h, say, can you see by the dawn� s early light. The weather identical to that fateful Tuesday Morning 20 years ago, but Everything Else was different. And the rockets� red glare. At 8 46 this morning, the tolling of a bell. Bell rings the moment the first plane struck the twin towers. And the bells rang out at the pentagon. Bell rings. And shanksville, pennsylvania. Bell rings.

The president , who has visited all three of the 9 11 sites, today spoke about the significance of the commemorations. These memorials are really important. But they are also incredibly difficult for the people who were affected by them. Because it brings back that moment they got the phone call. It brings back that instant you got the news. Ican hearyou. I can hear you. The rest of the world i can hear you. The rest of the world hears i can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And George W Bush, who was president in 2001, contrasted America Today with america then. So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment. That leaves us worried about our nation, and our future together. I come without explanations or solutions. I can only tell you what ive seen. 0n Americas Day of trial and grief, i saw millions of people instinctively grab for a Neighbours Hand and rally to the cause of one another. That is the america i know. But today belongs to the people whose lives were rent by these unfathomable acts. I was sleeping when the first tower hit, and my mom woke me up because my dad worked there, so. He was a victim, and i saw the second Plane Hit and ijust hopped in my car. I was here the next morning. He sobs excuse me. You cant ever explain this horrible thing. You know, and you re live it every year, but, i mean, i think for the families its worse for hour after hour, Family Members read the Alphabetical List of names of those who perished. 0n anniversaries, america can feel a kinder, less harsh place to be. Very little unites this divided country at the moment. But the Sorrow And Pain of that day 20 years ago still does, more or less. Jon sopel, Bbc News, New York. Well, the events of that day were a defining moment for the world, leading to the us Invasion Of Afghanistan and the overthrow of the taliban accused of harbouring the terrorists. With the taliban now back in control, our Correspondent Secunder kermani reports from kabul on how 9 11 is remembered there. At this busy market in the west of kabul today, few knew it was the anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. Some simply had no idea what had happened in New York 20 years ago. For others, memories of the tragedy there are steeped in afghanistans own struggles. People affected in 9 11 are also human beings. It does concern. I mean, still we are suffering from those things that have been throughout those 20 years. We have suffered more than 9 11 in afghanistan. The americans, when they came here, they have changed our life. Everything has changed. For the first time, the girls, you know, the school for the girls have improved. Now how do you see the future . Well, i think if it goes like this, it will be difficult for afghans to live in afghanistan. As you see, a lot of afghans are going out of the country. Two decades after they were overthrown, the talibans flags flutter across the city once again. Their banner, now in front of sites where western missions were once based. Behind this gate is what used to be the american embassy. In front of it, taliban flags are on sale. In fact, you can see a group of fighters who have just purchased some. For many in america this will be a deeply distressing sight. Questions are already being asked about what the last 20 years of war here really achieved. The us did manage to largely defeat alqaeda in afghanistan. The taliban insist they will never allow anyone to plot Terrorist Attacks from here again. But their victory has emboldened hardliners. This man is not part of the taliban. But he has come here to celebrate their conquest over what he terms the corrupt previous government, which had been backed by the us. The 9 11 anniversary might not mean much for people here, but its legacy is something the country is still grappling with. Decades of war are finally over. Can the future be more peaceful than the past . Secunder kermani, Bbc News, kabul. This is the scene live in New York now at the World Trade Center site. We will return to New York later in the programme to speak to somebody suffering a severe Health Crisis still as a severe Health Crisis still as a result of those Terrorist Attacks 20 years ago. To other news now. Britains18 year old Emma Raducanu has won the Us Open in one of the most dramatic victories in modern tennis. She beat 19 year old Leylah Fernandez of canada in two sets 64, 63. Raducanu only made it into the tournament as a qualifier, but she won the title without dropping a single set. Shes the first british woman to win a grand Slam Title in 44 years. Immediately after the match, craig 0shannessy, a Tennis Strategy Coach whos worked with novak djokovic, gave his reaction to emmas win. Oh, it was magnificent. I spent the first week in New York coaching myself and i walked by emma several times in the tunnels underneath going back and forth to the courts and she caught my eyes. This girl has a swagger, this girl was on a mission. I followed her throughout the tournament and i am back home in austin today, and watched the final. She played magnificently. We not only have a superstar, we have a megastar on our hands in emma. She handles herself so well. She is going to be a Guiding Light for Womens Tennis for years to come, and congratulations to her. There is so much to say about Emma Raducanu we will move on to her in a second. This was two teenagers playing in a Us Open final. What do we know about these two women . I can speak personally not a lot. I knew emma existed because of wimbledon last year and then leylah, being canadian, has been on my radar a little bit. Its exactly what any sport wants two young players on the big stage performing so well, carrying themselves so well, because you can really take that energy and that enthusiasm and take it to the grassroots and have young girls and young boys all over the world get interested in tennis and i want to be the next emma. So its a massive boost for Womens Tennis. Now, Emma Raducanu was tested in all different ways throughout this, but her resilience really came to the fore in this particular match, didnt it . It hadnt been tested quite that way before. Exactly. The final is another level, and neither of the girls had experienced it. What emma does so well is the Return Side of the equation. She was able to generate 18 break points today, she won four of them. Leylah only generated nine and won two. Also in the Return Side, emma stepped in really well she had four clean winners off the Return Side, and there was a ten Point Differential between the two girls 38 28 with return points won. Serving, emma did great but it was a Return Side of the equation that carried her to the title. She said herself that the Process And Mindset has to be retained to succeed in the future. Her composure was just incredible even once shed won afterfalling on her back. She then composed herself so quickly and spoke so eloquently again. She isjust quite incredible. She is mature beyond her years, no doubt. The way she carries herself on the court, the way she walks around between the points. You know, she fell over towards the End And Blood came out of her leg and they had to stop. And then on match point, she had been serving in the Ad Court down the t to leylahs backhand, and just to have the wherewithal to be able to say this is a good time to change it up. She hadnt served a lot out wide but she threw the ball nice and high, went out wide, won it with an ace. Again, it shows the level of composure she had on the big stage. The bbc understands that lawyers for Prince Andrew are challenging a claim that Court Papers, relating to allegations of sexual assault, have been properly served. Representatives of Virginia Giuffre who has made the claims say that they were lodged correctly. A usjudge will decide if the case can proceed on monday. The Duke Of York has always strongly denied the accusations. 0ur royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. Royal lodge, Prince Andrews home in windsor great park. It was here two weeks ago that a representative of Virginia Giuffre� s american lawyers attempted to serve the Court Papers on Prince Andrew. This is the official� s affidavit. In it, he describes how at 9 30 on the 26th Of August he presented himself to the Police Officers guarding the property. He says it appeared. The official left, but returned the following day, when, according to the affidavit, he was. The official said he asked to meet Prince Andrew personally, but he was told that this was not possible. At the heart of this is the claim by Virginia Giuffre virginia roberts, as she was who alleges that she was sexually assaulted by Prince Andrew when she was 17 years old. Prince andrew has categorically and consistently denied the claim. I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady. None whatsoever. You dont remember meeting her . No. Buckingham palace is saying absolutely nothing, other than to emphasise that this is entirely a matter for Prince Andrew and his lawyers. His lawyers tactics appear to be to keep as low a profile as possible for themselves and for their client, whilst intimating that the Court Papers have not been served properly. It will now be for a judge in a new York District court on monday to decide whether the papers have been served and whether Virginia Giuffre� s civil case can continue. Nicholas witchell, Bbc News.
