Joe Biden's call to Americans on September 11 attacks anniversary
It's September 11 in the United States and the US President has pledged to "never forget" those who lost their lives.
Without naming former president Donald Trump, Joe Biden also again called for Americans to safeguard democracy.
Mr Biden has recently dialled up warnings about what he calls the "extreme ideology" of the former president and his "MAGA Republican" adherents, saying they are a threat to American democracy.
"It's not enough to stand up for democracy once a year or every now and then," Mr Biden said.
"It's something we have to do every single day. So this is a day not only to remember, but also is a day for renewal and resolve for each and every American in our devotion to this country, to the principles it embodies, to our democracy."
