New York remembers the 9/11 attacks on Thursday (11), 24 years after the hijacking of four planes left almost 3,000 dead and changed the United States forever. Memorial ceremonies were held at Ground Zero in Manhattan, where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed in coordinated attacks that also caused a commercial airliner to crash into the Pentagon in Washington. Another plane, Flight 93, crashed in a rural area of Pennsylvania when passengers were able to overpower the hijacker and take control of the plane. This year's commemorations take place in a tense political environment following the assassination of influencer Charlie Kirk, who was close to President Donald Trump. Kirk, a 31-year-old extreme right-wing activist, was shot in the neck on Wednesday while attending an event at Utah Valley University. Trump is not expected to attend the ceremonies in Manhattan, but will instead attend a baseball game at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night. Vice President JD Vance, who had planned to participate in the events in New York, decided to pay his condolences to Kirk's family in Utah. 'A terrible day' - New York, the most populous city in the US, is in the midst of a divided mayoral election, in which Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is facing off against former Governor Andrew Cuomo and current Mayor Eric Adams. New Yorkers will head to the polls on November 4. Adams attended the ceremony on Thursday alongside former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the Republican who led the city during the tragedy. Trump repeatedly attacked Mamdani, a naturalized American citizen and Muslim, calling him a 'crazy communist', while a Republican legislator called for his deportation. The Democratic socialist is leading the race with a 22-point advantage, according to the latest polls from The New York Times and Siena. 'It was this terrible day that also marked for many New Yorkers the moment when they were seen as 'the other', Mamdani told The New York Times, referring to the increase in Islamophobic attacks after 9/11. The entire city of New York observed a minute of silence at 8:46 am (9:46 am in Brasília), the time when the hijacked Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Then, places of worship throughout the city rang their bells to remember the impact, while family members of the victims read the names of the deceased at Ground Zero. The official death toll from 9/11 was 2,977, including the passengers and crew of the four hijacked planes, the victims of the Twin Towers, the firefighters and Pentagon employees. This number excludes the 19 Al-Qaeda hijackers.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Beijing, according to the state-run KCNA on Tuesday. Kim arrived at Beijing's railway station and was received by high-ranking Chinese officials. Kim is expected to participate in a military parade in Beijing on Wednesday with his Chinese and Russian counterparts, an event that, according to experts, may potentially demonstrate a tripartite unity against the United States. Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin are among the 26 world leaders who will join Chinese President Xi Jinping to watch the massive parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and China's fight against Japan's wartime aggressions. It is expected to be Kim's first major multilateral event during his 14 years in power, and the first time that Kim, Xi, and Putin, all key challengers to the US, will meet in the same location. None of the three countries has confirmed a private trilateral meeting of leaders. Kim's visit marks his first trip to China since 2019 and his fifth visit overall since he inherited power after his father's death at the end of 2011.
