Mark Laurence Davis. Jarvis Baxter. And my dad. Dad, we miss you.

10 years on, America and the world remember the 9/11 attacks.

# And the land of the freak. At a ceremony here at Ground Zero,

the families of those who died remember their loved ones.

The 67 British victims are remembered as a wreath is laid by

the US embassy. Remember me when I have gone away.

Gone far our way into the silent land. Remember me when no more,

day-by-day, you tell me of a future that you planned. Also on the

programme: A British man is killed and his

wife kidnapped from a beach resort in northern Kenya.

24 men being held in slavery on a site in Bedfordshire are found and

freed by police. And Wales push South Africa all the

way but lose by just a point at the Hello from lower Manhattan in New

York where ceremonies have been held to remember the nearly 3,000

people who died on September 11th, 2001 on this, the 10th anniversary

of the attacks. Behind me at the area now known as Ground Zero,

relatives of those who died gathered for a ceremony to remember

loved ones and on a those who risk their lives to save them.

Basing of the home of the brave as firefighters and police proudly

Burke they taunt Stars and Stripes that flew here on that fateful day.

The President then and the President now stand before the

memorials were the towers once stood, engraved around the edge the

names of the dead, each one was Flight 11 hit the first hour at

8:46am, and exactly the same time, a moment of silence.

At nine a 3am, the second how was hit and another pause for

reflection. That they changed his presidency

and George Bush changed the world, declaring global war on terror in

reaction to Al-Qaeda's attack. More than 6,000 American soldiers have

died in Afghanistan and Iraq. Today he read a letter from Abraham

Lincoln to a mother who lost five sons in battle.

I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your

bereavement and leave you only be cherished memory of the loved and

lost and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a

sacrifice, upon the altar of freedom.

President Obama inherited the wars and ordered the mission that killed

Osama Bin Laden this year and shows a Bible reading which reflects his

desire to end the conflict. Come behold, the words of the Lord.

He makes wars cease to the end of the Earth. He breaks the battle and

cuts the Spear in two, he burns the chariot.

The President won't deliver his remarks reflecting on a decade just

gone until this evening but has said America has emerged longer

after 9/11 and that the 10 years of wars, it is time to build the

nation at home. The President moved on to a service at the field in

Pennsylvania where flight 93 crashed. In Washington, another

ceremony to mark the deaths at the Pentagon. The huge political

consequences of that day are not to the fore, it is a day when America

came together to reflect on its sorrowful stop the ceremonies

seemed designed to tug at the heartstrings, filled fall of the

personal and the poignant. And my father, who I never met because I

was in my mum's belly. I love you father. I love you for loving the

idea of having me. You gave me the gift of life and I wish you could

be here to enjoy it it with me. # People talking without speaking.

And my husband, Michael. We love you and we miss you.

This anniversary of a nightmare is nearly at an end, it echo will

President Obama said the terrible events of 10 years ago have brought

America together. For many people across the world, 9/11 unfolded in

front of our very eyes, the images were painful and shocking and

despite the passing of time, they remain powerful. We look back on

the day America was under attack. His report shows the moments when

the planes hit the Twin Towers and when they later collapsed.

Holy (swearing). The attacks on America had started.

It is a 40 6:00am, firemen on a training exercise witness the

moment American Airlines flight American was flown into the tower

of the World Trade Center. Just 17 minutes later, this happens. His

second serve -- Boeing 767 of United Airlines strikes the south

tower. Both aeroplanes were heavily laden with fuel for 2,500 mile

flights to Los Angeles. It has got to be a terrorist attack, I cannot

tell you anything more. I saw the aeroplane hit the building. What is

happening? Already, hundreds of people are there, hundreds more

have no chance of escape. -- dead. In desperation, many jumped,

leaping to their deaths. At Booker Elementary School in Florida, the

White House chief of staff or tells President Bush, a second plane hit

the second hour, America is under attack. For another five minutes

the President's days into the classroom listening to children

reading aloud. But the attacks are not over and at

9:37am, a third plane crashes into the Pentagon just outside

Washington. All the passengers and crew and 125 civilian and military

personnel are killed. The building is the nerve centre of the US armed

forces. You can see the two Towers. A huge explosion raining degree on

all others, we have to get out of the way. In New York, and less than

an hour after it was hit, the entire 110 stories of the South

Tower implode and collapse. No one left inside survives, clouds of

toxic dust and debris sweep across southern Manhattan. Minutes later,

the last of the hijacked planes crashes at Pennsylvania. During the

flight, passengers and crew phoned loved ones and are told of the

attacks in New York. Knowing their fate, the passengers fight back. No

one on the ground is killed, many lives are saved. But the death toll

keeps rising. At 10:28am, the north tower, first to be hit also goes

down. In less than two hours, the destruction of the World Trade

Center is complete. America and the world look completely changed.

67 Britons died in those attacks 10 years ago. In London, Prince

Charles and David Cameron attended a Service at the September 11th

memorial garden in Grosvenor Square. From memorial gardens in the heart

of the city which has also known what it is to be attacked, an act

of solidarity and remembrance. Families of the 67 Britons who died

in the attacks had come to Grosvenor Square by the American

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

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

Gone far our way into the silent land.

When you can no more hold me by the hand.

Nor I, half turned to go, yet turning, stay.

The Prince of Wales recall the impact of a most terrible day.

None of us will ever forget where we were all what we were doing when

on that otherwise, ordinary day and out of a clear blue sky, came so

much premeditated death and destruction. He spoke of the anger

and bewilderment caused by senseless deaths and of the love

that had been the overwhelming response to the bereaved. On this

anniversary we are drawn to, in our thoughts and prayers, knowing we

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

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

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

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

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

voices. Our beloved son, Vincent Wells, and our dear friend Simon

James Turner. Within the tranquillity of the September 11th

memorial garden, the names were read of the Britons who perished in

the attacks. Our son and Vicki's husband, Stephen Lawn.

Those who died had been people of all faiths, and on this anniversary

they were honoured and remembered. At the end of your report, you said

the effects of 9/11 world echoed through the decades. 10 years on,

Americans haven't come under attack on US all, does that mean the

policies have worked and Americans can feel safe? I don't think they

can ever feel completely safe. It does seem as though those policies

have worked. I think America is safer, but a heavy price has been

paid and not just by Americans. I have never seen the security we

have seen today, but every day at airports and stations you see an

increase in security that is a burden for Americans. Let us not

forget, 80 American soldiers were injured today in a bomb in

Afghanistan, three Afghan civilians were killed. That conflict goes on

and the President wants to end it and I think many Americans want to

end it. But there will be a debate about whether that and Iraq has

made America safer or made it more of a target. Or perhaps both.

In New York it has been a day of remembrance, a day of reflection

and for many New Yorkers, a day of resilience. The memorial garden

behind me opens to the public tomorrow. From Ground Zero, back to

the studio. A British man has been killed and

his wife kidnapped at a remote beach resort in northern Kenya.

Police say they are treating it as banditry but don't know where the

gunmen came from. The couple were the only guests at an exclusive

report in Lamu, near Kiwayu. We understand from the Kenyan

police the couple had spends a week on safari in the Masai Mara, they

then have many tourists do, headed to the coast to relax. They chose a

place a renowned for its privacy and its calm.

it all, pristine beaches, turquoise waters and plenty of luxury. The

website says the only rule here is to relax. But for one British

couple, the holiday of a lifetime turned into a nightmare. This is

what we know so far, the couple arrived at the exclusive seaside

resort at 4:00pm local time yesterday afternoon. They were the

only holidaymakers there. Police say gunmen entered the resort half-

an-hour after midnight. It is believed the husband is killed soon

after. The attackers kidnapped his wife, escaping in a speedboat. So

far, it sounds as though the Kenyan police are short on clues. We are

treating it as a bandit attack. But since we weren't informed about

them, maybe sooner or later they may contact us. We are not very

sure. Today, the body of the murdered tourist was brought to

this Nairobi funeral parlour in order to be flown home. Now the

British and Kenyan authorities are focusing their efforts on trying to

The Chancellor has signalled major changes to come to the banking

system it in Britain. Robert Peston is here. What will change?

I think a great deal. I have been following deliberations -- the

deliberations of for some months and it is likely that they will

propose the biggest reform of the biggest -- British banking system

in a generation. They want to put in a ring-fenced to protect basic

banking activities like savings and small businesses and putting a

protection around so-called retail banking. The big question is how

high will be there all and precisely what will beat inside the

retail banking operations. My view is that the wall will be high and

what we regard as every think that is essential to the economy will be

within the protected retail banks. What does that mean if I am right?

The big banks and in particular, Barclay's and the Royal Bank of

Scotland, will hate it and as we have already seen George Osborne

signalling that he will back the proposals the commission -- of the

commission, he will be at loggerheads with much of the city.

Colonel Gaddafi's so and has arrived in idea. Earlier, the

authorities in Libya have said they found the bodies of 20 fighters in

roadside graves which up mainly those of African mercenaries

fighting for Gaddafi. You may find some of these images distressing.

It is a gruesome task. Bodies are being found in different sites

across Tripoli. They must be identified and buried properly.

Some were crimes of the old regime. Others died in the fight for

Tripoli. One of the men was a soldier. Three more were civilians

killed three weeks ago. Despite the death and destruction, it is not

the rebel flag advised -- flies in one poor neighbourhood of the

capital where some still support Gaddafi. People here say they are

angry at what the rebels have done, afraid of the vacuum left behind

and what the future holds and they remain to be convinced by Libya's

new leaders. I'm scared for my future, my kids, my job. I have

lost my job. All these challenges fall on the shoulders of the new

administration. The Prime Minister, effectively, must now help shape

the new government. It is difficult to exaggerate the queue - might

huge task facing the de facto leader. Although there are vast

reserves of good will in Libya, they are not bound us. He is yet to

even address the Libyan people who now crave peace, stability and

prosperity. It is an enormous challenge for any country,

especially one still at all. A BBC team was caught up in fighting just

inside Bani Walid today. It is a small, dusty town in the hands of

Gaddafi loyalists and it is a reminder that it is the bullet and

not the ballot box that still settles the differences here.

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

travellers' site in Leighton Buzzard. They say many of the

victims were malnourished and living in filthy conditions. It is

thought that some were kept against their will for up to 15 years.

After weeks of intelligence gathering, police soon found what

they were looking for - men who they say were being kept as slaves

here for years. 24 were discovered at a number of locations, some so

weak they had to be carefully led away. Officers who raided the Queen

NATO Caravan Park say they were shocked by what they'd discovered.

The is people were institutionalised. One person has

been here for 15 years service is normal life for him. Bedford show

police alleged they were recruited by a gang masters who forced them

to live in squalid conditions and work for no pay. Most are English,

with a few eastern Europeans but detectives say they were all
