It was the day after thanksgiving i was in my family s home in chicago. My son was with his father in florid florida. I picked up the phone and there was just this dead silence and i said where is jordan? what happened to jordan? and that s when jordan s dad said jordan has been shot. You re 25 times more likely to die from gun violence in the united states of america than any other developed nation in the world. What does this say about us as americans? we re just willing to let people die because we re afraid of the nra? there is no other single issue in the lobby in the united states that had as much success against the wishes of the majority of the country. Gun vie lepsolence is taking at a historic rate. It s only getting worse and worse and we re focused on the right to bear arms and not the right to live. The nra had managed to convince millions of a

I ll talk to tony blair who was prime minister of the united kingdom on 9/11 and oversaw britain s entry in those wars alongside its closest ally, the united states. Then an exclusive interview with the president of ukraine. In the oval office just last week, president biden assured him that the u. S. Opposes russian aggression. The united states remains firmly committed to ukraine s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

But first here s my take. If you want to understand what islamic militancy is really about, pay attention to this statement last week by the taliban spokesman.

They are talking about, you know, they are saying there was no
And the struggle against extremism in the middle east. Reporter: i m holly williams in saudi arabia, the home country of 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11. Barnett: finally, stories of survival and in that 10 to 15 seconds you re thinking what? something flying that low and directly at us. Barnett: and remembering a life lost. A lot of energy and a lot of volume. Loud! loud. This is the cbs weekend news. Barnett: good evening. Adriana diaz is off. I m errol barnett. 20 years after the september 11 atacks, the thousands of people lost that day are being honored at events across the the country. But the assessment of where america stands in its fight against terrorism appears mixed. Tonight, the taliban is back in power in afghanistan. Also in a new propaganda video released today, the man who replaced osama bin laden to lead al qada reappeared to praise the 9/11 hijackers saying they had, stabbed america in its heart. We will get to all of that in just a moment. But we begin with cbs mich
