New York remembers the September 11th attacks on the United States

New York remembers the September 11th attacks on the United States.

A series of events are planned in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC to mark the anniversary.

Also, we hear from Afghanistan, perhaps the one country most affected in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

Plus, Mexico's Supreme Court has issued a landmark ruling, saying that penalising abortion is unconstitutional.  We have analysis.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Bahar Dutt, an Indian conservation biologist, author and environmental journalist based in Delhi, and Mark Landler, an American journalist and London bureau chief for the New York Times newspaper.
