Good afternoon. It's exactly ten years since the terrorist attacks | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, which claimed nearly | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
3,000 lives. Ceremonies are taking place around the world to mark the | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
day. In the United States, acts of remembrance are being held at each | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
of the locations hit by the four hijacked passenger planes. Laura | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
Trevelyan is at Ground Zero for us. It is a Sunday in New York, and | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
relatives of those killed in 9/11 have been preparing to take part in | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
a ceremony of remembrance. As darkness fell on a ground zero, | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
they kept coming. New Yorkers, tourists, those in uniform, all | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
drawn here by the almost magnetic pull of this place. Shining above | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
them 10 years on, Twin Towers Of Light. It is amazing that 10 years | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
later there is a building that has already been erected, we are | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
celebrating that we have been strong and people are very | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
emotional. It is tough, it really is, but Americans, you can't break | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
their spirit. The anniversary will play out amid the tightest of | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
security, following an intelligence tip that suggest Al-Qaeda intends | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
to attack New York using a vehicle bomb. The Americans still don't | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
know if a plot is active. Then 9/11 attacks lasted two hours. Planes | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
used as missiles, almost 3000 lives lost. The effects of what happened | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
here are still reverberating both in America and a world away, in | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
Iraq and Afghanistan. The cemetery was covered in debris. It was an | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
alien landscape in many respects. To end years ago, this man was a | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
priest at this chapel facing ground zero. Now, as then, the Church has | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
become a focus for those seeking meaning. I believe in love, hope | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
and resurrection. I know that somehow in the mercy of God, even | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
this tragedy is being healed. the giant cranes rebuilding Ground | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Zero have fallen silent as America pauses. Later, President Obama will | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
join a simple ceremony next to two reflecting swimming pools, erected | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
near where the twin towers stud. As you can see, the crowds are | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
growing before the ceremony brings. The security has been strengthened, | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
a continuing reminder of the threat of Al-Qaeda. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Services to remember the victims of 9/11 are taking place in Britain. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
In London the families of some of the 67 British victims joined | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
representatives from the emergency services at St Paul's Cathedral. | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
Nicholas Witchell reports. Closed by the American embassy in London | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
is at the Grosvenor Chapel, the American Church, as its known, | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
where Britain's remembrance of the events of 10 years ago brought | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
together the families that many of the 67 Britons who died in 9/11. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Mavis flame become a symbol of light that banishes darkness, a | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
light of new and everlasting life. Alongside families who were | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
bereaved were people who were in the twin towers and escaped, and a | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
woman who was working at a nearby church and joined the rescuers. | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
the killing heat, bit by bit, the workers sifted the ruins. Kneeling, | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
they make to be -, searching for Bones, a piece of fireproof | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
clothing, signs that human remains might be nearby. In the services | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
here in Britain, as in the United States, the emphasis is on | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
remembering those who were lost and celebrating the collective will of | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
communities in standing firm against those who attacked them. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Firefighters from across the United Kingdom have come together to | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
remember their colleagues who gave their lives on duty, and in | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
particular the victims of 9/11, among whom there were 300 members | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
of the Fire Department of New York. Later, amid the tranquillity of the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
memorial garden in Grosvenor Square, the main ceremony here in Britain | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
:05:13. | :05:19. | ||
will take place attended by national leaders. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
In other news, trade unions have urged the Government not to be | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
swayed by pressure from the big banks ahead of a report out | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
tomorrow into banking reform. The TUC boss Brendan Barber called for | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
a banking system that works for everybody. The Labour leader, Ed | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Miliband, has also called for reforms that would allow | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
irresponsible bankers to be struck off. Our business correspondent Joe | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Lynam reports. Hours before we know what the Commission on banking | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
reform will say, the Labour leader has upped the ante saying banks had | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
:05:53. | :06:05. | ||
still not mended their ways. Ed His concerns on banking refer -- | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
reform were echoed by this trade union. We think government needs to | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
resist any special pleading for the banking sector, which has to take | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
action to make sure banks are safer if we ever faced this sort of | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
financial crisis for ordinary people across the UK. The key | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
findings in tomorrow's Vickers Report are expected to suggest | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
thanks partially ring-fence high- street banking from riskier | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
investment banking. If things go wrong on one side, the retail side | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
at least would be protected. But would that prevent another | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
financial crisis? The primary cause of the last financial crisis was | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
lending money to people who could not pay it back, whether that was | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
sub-prime mortgages in the US, or wait too much lending to people | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
doing deals in the city. Ring- fencing will not change that. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
have seen substantial change since the financial crisis three years | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
ago, they now have to hold more reserves than they did back then. | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
How much they pay their bankers is now heavily scrutinised and they | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
pay a bank levy worth �2.5 million to taxpayers. But the cost will not | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
be known for a few years yet. Sport now and Wales came within a | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
whisker of beating defending champions South Africa in their | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
opening game of the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. In the end the | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Springboks shaved it by just 17-16, avoiding what would have been a | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
shock defeat. Earlier, Ireland comfortably beat the United States. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
That's it from me. There's more throughout the afternoon on the BBC | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
News channel. Including a BBC News special covering the memorial | :07:51. | :07:54. |
