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 | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
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. | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
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 | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
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. |
