# O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

:00:42.:00:47.

My beloved son Joshua. We miss you and love you forever. You are

:00:47.:00:53.

always in our hearts. In London, the 67 British victims

:00:53.:00:56.

are remembered as a wreath his late near the US embassy.

Also on the programme, a British man is killed and his wife

Hello from Lower Manhattan in New York, where ceremonies have been

:01:41.:01:46.

held to remember the nearly 3000 people that died on September 11th,

:01:46.:01:51.

2001, on this, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the

:01:52.:01:56.

United States. Behind me, at the area now known as Ground Zero,

:01:56.:02:04.

relatives of those that died gathered with President Obama and

:02:04.:02:10.

former President George Bush, in a ceremony to remember loved ones and

:02:10.:02:17.

honour are those that risked their lives to save them.

:02:17.:02:20.

# O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

:02:20.:02:28.

# What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? The

:02:28.:02:32.

American national anthem plays as firefighters and police proudly fly

a torn it stars and stripes, the flag that flow on that fateful day.

:02:38.:02:41.

The President then and the President now inspect the memorial

:02:41.:02:46.

from the exact spot where the Twin Towers stirred. There are now two

:02:47.:02:51.

dark pools, waterfalls on each side, with the names of the dead

:02:51.:02:57.

inscribed on the edge. The first hour was hit at 8:46am. Today at

:02:57.:03:06.

exactly the same time, a moment of silence. At 9:03am, the second

:03:06.:03:10.

tower was hit, and another silence marked the moment. It was a

:03:10.:03:14.

defining moment for President Bush when Al-Qaeda attacked. It changed

:03:14.:03:19.

him and he changed the world, of ordering a global war on terror.

can hear you. The rest of the world hears you and the people... And the

:03:28.:03:36.

people that knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

:03:36.:03:40.

Today who read a letter from Abraham Lincoln to a mother who

:03:40.:03:45.

lost five sons in battle. I pray that our heavenly Father may

:03:45.:03:50.

assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the

:03:50.:03:56.

cherished memory of the loved and lost and the solemn pride that must

:03:56.:04:03.

be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

:04:03.:04:06.

Barack Obama ordered the mission this year that killed Osama Bin

:04:06.:04:10.

Laden, the man behind the attacks. He hopes it may provide a

:04:10.:04:18.

punctuation mark. Come and behold the works of the Lord. He makes

:04:18.:04:24.

wars cease to the end of the Earth. He breaks the bow and cuts the

:04:24.:04:32.

Spear in two. He burns the chariot in fire. The President will not

:04:33.:04:36.

deliver his remarks reflecting on a decade just gone until this evening

:04:36.:04:39.

but he has said that America emerged stronger after 9/11 but

:04:39.:04:44.

after 10 years of hard pores, it is time to turn to nation-building at

:04:44.:04:52.

But for most the political consequences of what happened here

:04:52.:04:57.

are not at the forefront. This is a day when America has come together

:04:57.:05:07.
:05:07.:05:12.

to mourn again, to remember and # People talking without speaking.

:05:12.:05:18.

# People hearing without listening. There is a ceremony at the Pentagon

:05:18.:05:23.

and in Pennsylvania where flight 93 crashed after passengers rushed the

:05:23.:05:28.

hijackers. The ceremonies all time carve up the heart strings, awash

:05:28.:05:38.
:05:38.:05:40.

with poignant moments. -- the ceremonies timecard at the heart

:05:40.:05:45.

strings. The sense of vulnerability that

:05:45.:05:51.

followed that day in Lower Manhattan has faded a little. The

:05:51.:05:54.

determination that it will not happen again has not.

:05:54.:06:00.

While many of us watched the events of September 11th, 2001 unfold on

:06:00.:06:04.

television, the images were painful, shopping and unbelievable. Despite

:06:04.:06:10.

the passing of time, they remain powerful. This report shows the

:06:10.:06:13.

awful moments when the aeroplane hit the Twin Towers and when they

:06:13.:06:23.
:06:23.:06:31.

The attacks on America had started. It is a 40 6:00am. Firemen on a

:06:32.:06:36.

training exercise witness the moment American Airlines Flight 11

:06:36.:06:41.

is flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Centre. Just 17

:06:41.:06:51.
:06:51.:06:57.

minutes later, this happened. A second Boeing 67 -- Boeing 767 hits

:06:57.:07:05.

the second tower. Oh, my God! aeroplanes were heavily laden with

:07:05.:07:13.

aviation fuel for 2500 mile flights to Los Angeles. It has got to be a

:07:13.:07:16.

terrorist attack. I can't tell you anything more than that. I saw the

:07:16.:07:24.

aeroplane hit the building. What is happening? Already hundreds of

:07:24.:07:31.

people are dead, hundreds more have no chance of escape. In desperation,

:07:31.:07:39.

many jump from the burning towers, leaping to their deaths. At Booker

:07:39.:07:43.

Elementary School in Florida, the White House chief of staff tells

:07:43.:07:46.

President Bush that the second aeroplane hit the second tower.

:07:46.:07:50.

America is under attack. For another five minutes, the President

:07:50.:07:57.

stays in the classroom, listening to children reading aloud. But the

:07:57.:08:01.

attacks are not over and a third hijacked aeroplane crashes into the

:08:01.:08:06.

Pentagon just outside Washington. All the passengers and crew and 125

:08:06.:08:10.

civilian and military personnel are killed. The building was the nerve

:08:10.:08:16.

centre of the US armed forces. you can see the Twin Towers, their

:08:16.:08:20.

huge explosion, reigning debris on all of us. We are getting out of

:08:21.:08:28.

the way! Back in New York, and less than one hour after it was hit, the

:08:28.:08:32.

entire 110 floors of the South Tower of implode and collapse.

:08:32.:08:36.

Nobody left inside survives. Cloud of toxic dust and debris sweep

:08:37.:08:46.
:08:47.:08:49.

Minutes later, the last of the four hijacked planes crashes in

:08:49.:08:53.

Shanksville, Pennsylvania. During a flight, passengers and crew phone

:08:53.:08:57.

loved ones and are told of the attacks in New York. Knowing their

:08:57.:09:02.

fate, the passengers fight back against the hijackers. Nobody on

:09:02.:09:09.

the ground is killed and many lives are saved. Oh, no. But the death

:09:10.:09:16.

toll keeps on rising. At 10:20am, the North Tower, first to be hit,

:09:16.:09:21.

also goes down. In less than two hours the destruction of the World

:09:21.:09:28.

Trade Centre is complete. America and the world look utterly changed.

:09:28.:09:34.

In London, Prince Charles and David Cameron attended a Service at the

:09:34.:09:37.

September 11th memorial garden in Grosvenor chair, in honour of the

:09:37.:09:43.

60s seven Britons that died. -- Grosvenor Square. In honour of the

:09:43.:09:48.

67 Britons that died. From memorial gardens in the heart

:09:48.:09:53.

of a city that is known what it is to be attacked, and act of

:09:53.:09:57.

solidarity and remembrance. 67 Britons died in the 9/11 attacks.

:09:57.:10:01.

Their families have come to Grosvenor Square by the American

:10:01.:10:04.

embassy where they were joined by the Prince of Wales and the Prime

:10:05.:10:12.

Minister to remember. Remember me when I am gone away.

:10:12.:10:16.

Gone far away into the silent land. When you can no more hold me by the

:10:16.:10:24.

hand. Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

:10:24.:10:27.

The Prince of Wales record the impact of most terrible day. None

:10:27.:10:34.

of us will ever forget where we were or what we were doing when on

:10:34.:10:42.

that otherwise ordinary day and out of the clear blue sky came so much

:10:42.:10:46.

premeditated death and destruction. He spoke of the anger and

:10:46.:10:50.

bewilderment called by senseless deaths, and of the love and support

:10:50.:10:55.

that had been the overwhelming response. On this anniversary, we

:10:55.:11:01.

are drawn to you in our thoughts and in our prayers. Knowing that we

:11:01.:11:07.

cannot change the past, but that through struggling to find a light

:11:07.:11:12.

that can lighten our darkness, we may ultimately bring the healing

:11:12.:11:21.

that the world so desperately needs. In one corner of Grosvenor Square

:11:21.:11:25.

about 100 members of a radical Islamic group had mounted a protest.

:11:25.:11:32.

An American flag was burned. But this was not a day for loud voices.

:11:32.:11:41.

Our beloved son Vincent and our dear friend Simon. Within the

:11:41.:11:45.

tranquillity of the September 11th memorial garden, the names were

:11:45.:11:52.

read of the 67 Britons who perished in the attacks. Our son and Vicki's

:11:52.:12:02.
:12:02.:12:03.

has -- husband. Those that died had been people of all faiths, and on

:12:03.:12:11.

this anniversary they were honoured and remembered.

:12:11.:12:15.

I am joined now by our North America Editor Mark Mardell. An

:12:15.:12:20.

emotional and poignant day. But 10 years on, nobody has faced an

:12:20.:12:24.

attack on US soil as a result of successive policies. Should

:12:24.:12:28.

Americans feel more secure now? think that immense sense of

:12:28.:12:31.

vulnerability that followed those days and then the years has faded

:12:31.:12:35.

quite a lot. But there have been plots, and they have been foiled by

:12:36.:12:40.

a question of luck and policies. But nobody can ever say that they

:12:40.:12:44.

will not get through and they will not happen. There is still a worry

:12:45.:12:50.

that remains. We should say that on this day in Afghanistan 80 American

:12:50.:12:54.

soldiers have been injured in a truck bomb attack. Three Afghans

:12:54.:12:58.

have been killed. That conflict goes on and although the President

:12:58.:13:01.

wants to bring it to an end and most Americans want to as well,

:13:01.:13:05.

people will be asking whether ending that war would leave America

:13:05.:13:10.

more vulnerable. As well as a sense of vulnerability, a political

:13:10.:13:15.

debate continues about why 9/11 began. From Ground Zero, back to

:13:15.:13:20.

the studio in London. Thank you. In other news, a British

:13:21.:13:24.

tourist has been murdered and his wife kidnapped after attackers

:13:24.:13:27.

broke into a luxury beach resort in Kenya. The incident happened close

:13:27.:13:33.

to the border with Somalia, 30 miles along the coast, in the

:13:33.:13:36.

holiday resort of Lamu. The Foreign Office has confirmed they are

:13:37.:13:39.

working closely with the Kenyan authorities to establish further

:13:39.:13:45.

details. What are you hearing in Nairobi?

:13:45.:13:49.

We have just had a press conference by the Kenyan police. They are

:13:50.:13:54.

giving a bit of detail about exactly what happened. This is a

:13:54.:13:59.

fairly remote, exclusive resort, not far from the Somalian border.

:13:59.:14:02.

The Kenyan police say that armed men arrived at this resort in the

:14:02.:14:12.
:14:12.:14:13.

abduct a husband and wife, both of them British. The husband resisted,

:14:13.:14:17.

according to the police, and the armed men then left with his wife

:14:17.:14:20.

in a speedboat. Those other details the Kenyan police are giving at the

:14:20.:14:30.

moment, and they say they are pursuing the band -- bandits. They

:14:30.:14:35.

say this has nothing to do with 9/11. They are not publicly saying

:14:35.:14:44.

it is anything to do with Somali and -- Somalia Islamist groups like

:14:44.:14:48.

Al Shabaab. That was mentioned earlier. They are now trying to

secured the release of the woman that is being held.

:14:51.:14:55.

24 men, all believed to be victims of slavery, have been rescued from

:14:55.:15:02.

a travellers' site in Bedfordshire. Police raided the side in Leighton

:15:02.:15:05.

Buzzard it and said that many of them were malnourished and kept in

:15:05.:15:10.

cramped conditions and had been kept against their will for years.

:15:10.:15:13.

After weeks of intelligence gathering, police soon found what

:15:13.:15:18.

they were looking for. Men, who they say were being kept as slaves

:15:18.:15:23.

here for years. 24 of them were discovered at a number of locations.

:15:23.:15:28.

Some were so weak they had to be carefully led away. Police officers

:15:28.:15:31.

raided the Greenacre caravan park near Leighton Buzzard and said they

:15:31.:15:35.

were shocked by what they discovered. Some of these people

:15:35.:15:38.

were covered in excrement and dirty clothing because that is all they

:15:38.:15:44.

were allowed to live in. After being cared for, given food and

:15:44.:15:48.

fresh clothing, we hope to interview them. That in itself will

:15:48.:15:52.

take a long time. These people are institutionalised. I will give you

:15:52.:15:58.

an example. We know that one person has been here six Deeney years. To

:15:58.:16:04.

in this is normal life. -- 15 years. Bedfordshire police say they were

:16:04.:16:07.

recruited by a gang masters and forced to live in squalid

:16:07.:16:12.

conditions, working for no pay. Most are English but some are

:16:12.:16:15.

eastern European. Detectives say they are all vulnerable, either

:16:15.:16:21.

alcoholics or homeless. At times, 200 police officers were on a site

:16:21.:16:25.

to surge and gather evidence, clearly an operation of this scale

:16:25.:16:29.

has distressed some of the people living here. Police have enlisted

:16:29.:16:34.

the help of a team of interpreters to debrief the 24 men who have now

:16:34.:16:40.

been taken to a safe place. In the meantime, four men and a woman have

:16:40.:16:47.

been questioned by detectives after they were arrested under the

:16:47.:16:52.

Slavery and Servitude Act 2010. On to support now, and Wales and

:16:52.:16:56.

Ireland have played their opening matches at the Rugby World Cup with

:16:56.:17:03.

a mixed fortunes. -- on to support now. The Springboks edged a win by

:17:03.:17:07.

17 points to 16. Earlier Ireland comfortably beat the United States

:17:07.:17:11.

22-10. At the entrance to the World Cup

:17:11.:17:15.

party, Wales had to get past the bouncers first. Reigning champions

:17:15.:17:20.

South Africa are renowned for their physicality. Frans Steyn has's

:17:20.:17:25.

early try was a case in point. After being overwhelmed by Brawn,

:17:25.:17:31.

they opted for brains and boots. James Hook's right boot in

:17:31.:17:36.

particular. This was judged to be wide of the posts. The Welsh were

:17:37.:17:41.

building to something and after the break, it arrived. Waves of attack,

:17:41.:17:44.

ending in Toby Faletau a breaking through the famed South Africa in

:17:44.:17:51.

defence. Wales always came back for more but came up just short. South

:17:51.:17:57.

Africa of broke out. This converted try gave them a 1 point lead. Rhys

:17:57.:18:04.

Priestland might have snatched it back but instead he snatched at his

:18:04.:18:07.

kick and ultimately they got nothing. Ireland never touched

:18:07.:18:12.

those heights against the USA. True, they won, but the three tries

:18:12.:18:16.

scored for one short of what is needed for a bonus point and the

:18:16.:18:21.

evils exposed some worrying floors. They are used to calling this a

:18:21.:18:25.

touchdown in America and it certainly grounded the Irish.

:18:25.:18:29.

Sebastian Vettel has taken one step closer to a second world title

:18:29.:18:33.

after comfortably winning the Italian Grand Prix, his 8th win of

:18:33.:18:37.

the season. Jenson Button was a distant second.

:18:37.:18:41.

It often seems that no track in the world is wide enough to get past

:18:41.:18:48.

Sebastian Vettel. Fernando Alonso went off road. With the wall fast

:18:48.:18:56.

approaching, he took the lead with calculated dare. He left the

:18:56.:18:59.

circuit and drifted back on to it, ending his race and taking some

:18:59.:19:07.

luckless others with him. Mark Webber never survived this

:19:07.:19:14.

collision. Sebastian Vettel retook the lead and then never lost it.

:19:14.:19:18.

Michael Schumacher persisted in his silver Mercedes, holding up the

:19:18.:19:24.

McLarens of Jenson Button and his team-mate. But he seemed close to

:19:24.:19:29.

the edge. Both British drivers did get by eventually but Sebastian

:19:29.:19:34.

Vettel was in a world of his own in the lead. He had the satisfaction

:19:34.:19:37.

of overtaking Fernando Alonso to take second place and Lewis

:19:37.:19:42.

Hamilton finished 4th. The pursuit of Sebastian Vettel now seems to be

:19:42.:19:49.
