In the hours after 9/11, with US airspace closed, the RAF flew the head of MI6 to Washington for an urgent meeting with American intelligence. Former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove has revealed the full story for the first time to Michael Clarke for Sky News Defence Insider.

Police cooperation turns information into action, helping protect people and prevent harm. This @UN International Day of Police Cooperation, we’re highlighting what can happen when law enforcement and partners work together across borders and sectors. Because one connection can change what happens next. #PoliceCooperationDay

The Survivor Tree stands as a reminder of strength through adversity. Discovered in the aftermath of 9/11 damaged and nearly lifeless, this Callery pear tree was carefully removed from the site and nurtured back to health. 25 years later, the Survivor Tree continues to grow.

For 25 years, two beams of light have risen above New York City each September 11, a powerful symbol of remembrance, honoring the Twin Towers and the nearly 3,000 people whose lives were lost. This year, for the first time, the nation will be invited to witness Tribute in Light together. On Friday, September 11, @ABC will present "9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan," in partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The special will air at 8 PM ET across @ABCNetwork, @Disneyplus, @Hulu, @NatGeo, and @ABCNewsLive. The broadcast will feature live performances from @LaineyWilson and @JohnOndrasik of Five For Fighting at the base of the iconic beams, creating a shared moment of remembrance for audiences across the country. Join us as the lights rise once again and as we come together, 25 years later, to remember, reflect, and honor the lives and legacy of September 11.

Opinion: On December 21 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie in Scotland, killing 270 people. Now, for the first time, a US court will try one of those alleged to be responsible. I was booked on that flight, writes Patti Waldmeir. ft.trib.al/kspbWgO
