Thousands of lives, trillions of dollars, almost a quarter of a century of war and yet the Taliban are right back where they started. On the eve of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we're inside Afghanistan, where a war on terror was supposed to deliver its people from fear too. And yet sitting in the seat of power, the sworn enemy the West could never eliminate. So, as the world reflects on the last quarter of a century, what has actually been achieved? Also on the programme: - We speak to the pilot scrambled to take down the fourth plane that never hit its target on September 11th. Her mission was to fly right into the aircraft. - An even more taxing time for hospitality. Local areas will be able to impose a tourism levy on English escapes. So how much could you pay? - How sport helps prevent suicide as the Prince and Princess of Wales launch a new initiative. - And why green fingers could land you in hospital. The special clinic, just for your poorly plants. --------------------
