Ursula fon der Lajen u Beogradu: Šta ako Vučić podnese ostavku?

Aleksandar Vučić i Ursula fon der Lajen Foto: FoNet/Instagram predsednika Srbije autor: 07. sep. 2026. 08:19 Predsednica Evropske komisije Ursula fon der Lajen trebalo bi u oktobru da poseti Srbiju, u okviru redovne turneje po zemljama Zapadnog Balkana. Ukoliko se obistine najave da će parlamentarni izbori biti održani 25. oktobra, poseta Fon der Lajen mogla bi da se poklopi sa predizbornom kampanjom, ali i sa periodom u kojem bi Vučić, ukoliko ispuni sopstvena obećanja, već mogao da bude bivši predsednik. Ostaje, međutim, pitanje da li bi Vučić eventualno mogao da odloži ostavku kako bi predsednicu EK ipak dočekao sa Andrićevog venca. Oglas Sve u vezi izbora u Srbiji je još na nivou najava. Juče je prošao poslednji rok za raspisivanje vanrednih parlamentarnih izbora za 18. oktobar. Ostaje da vidimo da li drugi datum koji je Aleksandar Vučić pominjao, 25. oktobar, ostaje u igri. U međuvremenu kampanja je u punom jeku, a stiže i vest da bi baš u oktobru u samoj završnici kampanje u Beograd mogla da stigne predsednica Evropske komisije Ursula fon der Lajen.Prema informacijama iz diplomatskih krugova, poseta Srbiji deo je redovne višednevne turneje predsednice Evropske komisije po Zapadnom Balkanu. Tačan datum posete Beogradu još nije potvrđen, ali bi lako moglo da se desi da to bude sam finiš kampanje, što bi bez sumnje u srpskoj javnosti bilo predstavljeno kao podrška politici vlasti.Da je odnos Brisela prema Srbiji u ovom trenutku posebno osetljiv pokazuje i odluka Evropske komesarke za proširenje Marte Kos da otkaže planiranu posetu Srbiji zbog, kako je navela, veličanja nedavno preminulog haškog osuđenika Ratka Mladića.Kos otkazala posetu Beogradu“Ratko Mladić je osuđen za genocid, zločine protiv čovečnosti i ratne zločine. Povratak njegovih posmrtnih ostataka u Beograd podseća Evropu na najtamnije stranice naše nedavne istorije", napisala je Kos na društvenoj mreži X i zatim istakla:Ratko Mladić was convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The return of his remains to Belgrade reminds Europe of the darkest pages in our recent history. The glorification surrounding his death is incompatible with the values on which the EU path is…— Marta Kos (@MartaKosEU) September 4, 2026"Uznesenost oko njegove smrti je nespojiva sa vrednostima na kojima je izgrađen evropski put. Taj put zahteva suočavanje sa prošlošću, istinsko pomirenje i poštovanje žrtava ratnih zločina. Vrednosti koje podupiru našu zajedničku budućnost nisu predmet pregovora. U ovom kontekstu, odlučila sam da ne nastavim sa planiranom posetom Srbiji u ovom trenutku".Uprkos tome, oktobarska poseta Ursule fon der Lajen Srbiji za sada ostaje u planu. A čak i ukoliko je ne otkaže, za Vučića postoji jedan problem ukoliko podnese ostavku na mesto predsednika, kako je i najavio.Tada bi se umesto njega sa predsednicom Evropske komisije sreli samo premijer Đuro Macut i predsednica Skupštine Ana Brnabić, kako i predviđa protokol.Međutim, član Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji Duško Lopandić za Novu kaže da bi Vučićeva eventualna ostavka pre svega mogla da bude deo njegove političke kalkulacije, a ne odluka povezana sa posetom predsednice Evropske komisije.“On godinama zloupotrebljava svoju poziciju predsednika, svoje nadležnosti, ali isto tako i Ustav. Što se tiče ostavke, mislim da ona neće biti povezana sa posetom predsednice EK, već sa njegovom kalkulacijom izbora, ako bi se kandidovao kao premijer. Možda spoji parlamentarne i predsedničke izbore. To je jedna od raznih spekulacija da na neki način napravi još jednu vrstu zabune kod drudge strane“, kaže Lopandić. Duško Lopandić Foto: Dragan Mujan/Nova.rs Sagovornik Nove ocenjuje da bi poseta Fon der Lajen u uslovima predizborne kampanje mogla da bude problematična, budući da bi bila povezana sa temom članstva Srbije u Evropskoj uniji.“Postoji negativna tradicija da je Ursula fon der Lajen u ranijim godinama neosnovano pokazivala preveliku bliskost i podršku Vučiću. Postoji bojazan da bi to moglo da se ponovi“, ističe Lopandić.S druge strane, glavni i odgovorni urednik portala European Western Balkans, Nemanja Todorović Štiplija upozorava da samu posetu ne treba posmatrati kroz prizmu izbora.“Svake godine, pred izveštaj Evropske komisije o napretku država kandidata, Ursula fon der Lajen ima posetu svim državama Zapadnog Balkana, dakle svih šest država Zapadnog Balkana. Ursula fon der Lajen će u oktobru, tokom svoje redovne posete, posetiti region i to je stanje koje traje već poslednjih nekoliko godina“, podseća Štiplija.Prema njegovim rečima, takve posete održavaju se bez obzira na to da li se u nekoj od zemalja održavaju izbori ili traje predizborna kampanja. Nemanja Todorović Štiplija Foto:FoNet/Aleksandar Barda “Logično je da će predsednica Evropske komisije svoje poruke koje uputi tada da na neki način prilagodi trenutku predizborne kampanje, što radi u svim državama u kojima je dolazila u u toku predizborne kampanje. To se dešavalo i ranije. Nije samo predizborna kampanja u Srbiji, biće u Bosni i Hercegovini u istom trenutku“, navodi urednik EWB i dodaje da još ništa nije definitivno kada je reč o datumu posete.Kako objašnjava, za Evropsku komisiju biće važno šta će biti odlučeno na sastanku Evropskog saveta sredinom oktobra, kada bi trebalo da budu razmatrana pitanja u vezi sa novim načinom proširenja Evropske unije i državama Zapadnog Balkana, a naročito Crnu Goru i Albaniju koje nareduju u procesu.“Samim tim, moguće je da datumi posete ne budu u vreme predizborne kampanje, možda budu kasnije, možda budu mnogo ranije“, navodi Štiplija.Macut bi trebalo da ugosti predsednicu EKPosebno je zanimljivo i ko bi u tom slučaju ugostio predsednicu Evropske komisije. Jer, ukoliko Vučić zaista podnese ostavku pre dolaska Fon der Lajen, on više ne bi imao funkciju predsednika Republike.Zato Štiplija smatra da bi, u tom slučaju, upravo premijer Đuro Macut trebalo da bude domaćin Ursuli fon der Lajen. Foto:Aleksandar Barda/FoNet „To što se predsednik Vučić i predsednica Evropske komisije Ursula fon der Lajen sastaju i što je to bio najznačajniji događaj tokom takve njene posete, to je nešto što je izlazilo iz ustavnih okvira Srbije. Sa druge strane, premijer Srbije je taj koji treba da razgovara s njom. Dakle, ona kao predsednica izvršne vlasti Evropske unije i predsednik izvršne vlasti Srbije, a to je svakako Macut. Međutim, s obzirom na to da živimo u zemlji u kakvoj živimo, ta poseta, odnosno taj sastanak sa predsednikom Vučićem, uvek je bio najvažniji događaj takve jedne posete“, ocenjuje Štiplija.Ursula fon der Lajen kao glavna Vučićeva zaštitnica u EUNe treba zaboraviti da Ursula fon der Lajen već godinama važi za jednu od Vučićevih najvažnijih saveznika i zaštitnika u Briselu, dok je Evropska narodna partija, čiji je SNS pridruženi član, više puta kritikovan zbog bliskosti sa predsednikom Srbije.Na takvu bliskost je ukazivao i potpredsednik Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji Vladimir Međak, nakon posete Ursule fon der Lajen u martu prošle godine.“Sada je jasno rečeno da su mediji, korupcija i izborne reforme bitni. To su uslovi i to je ponovo i Košta i to su jasni demokratski kriterijumi koje Srbija ne ispunjava. S druge strane, nije rečeno ko je kriv za to što to nemamo. To znači da Ursula fon der Lajen i EPP i dalje njega čuvaju, ali nisu spremni više toliko da ga promovišu i idu do kraja kao što su to radili pre tri ili četiri meseca”, poručio je Međak za Danas. <img alt="Mesto: BEOGRAD Datum: 2024-03-31 12:56:43.0 Dogadjaj: EVROSERVIS/KVAKA 23 - Intervju FoNetu Vladimira Međaka iz Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji u okviru serijala Kvaka 23 Fotoreporter: Milica Vučković Ličnosti: Vladimir Međak Izvor: FoNet" data-selector="image-with-caption" data-src="/media/original_images/1768857155_1711888235-Vladimir_Medjak_10_Milica_Vuckovic_5152_b-102.jpg" data-testid="image" height="374" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 500px, 900px" src="https://nova.rs/media/images/2026/1/1768857155_1711888235-Vladimir_Med.format-jpeg.width-500.jpg" srcset="https://nova.rs/media/images/2026/1/1768857155_1711888235-Vladimir_Med.format-jpeg.width-500.jpg 500w, https://nova.rs/media/images/2026/1/1768857155_1711888235-Vladimir_Med.format-jpeg.width-900.jpg 900w" width="100%"> Vladimir Međak Foto:FoNet/Milica Vučković Slično je rekao i evroposlanik Tajs Rojten u septembru 2025. godine kada je bila održana sednica Evropskog parlamenta na kojoj se preispitivao stav EPP prema SNS.“Članstvo u Evropskoj uniji bi trebalo da bude nešto čemu se teži, a u prethodnih nekoliko godina smo videli previše zaštite Vučića od strane Fon der Lajen i Antonija Košte. Moramo da prekinemo strategiju ulagivanja jednom autokrati iz zemlje kandidata”, istakao je Rojten.Tim povodom su Evropski zeleni na konferenciji za medije pre panela diskusije o situaciji u Srbiji, saopštili da predsednica Evropske komisije Ursula fon der Lajen mora da zauzme jasan stav o Aleksandru Vučiću i da on ne sme da se oseća nedodirljivim. Vula Ceci Foto: EPA/RONALD WITTEK "Ključno je da bi EU trebalo da uvidi da Vučić nema imunitet. On oseća da je nedodirljiv jer je povezan sa najvećom grupom u EU (Evropska narodna partija), povezan je sa institucijama… Oseća se nedodirljivim. Politička poruka nije protiv naroda Srbije. Da bismo podržali narod moramo da napravimo razliku. Vučić igra na različitim terenima i on želi da postane kralj. Dužnost ove institzcije je da ne bude više nedodirljiv ida bude pozvan na odgovornost zbog svojih postupaka", naglasila je kopredsednica Evropskih zelenih Vula Ceci.

Amenințarea dronelor rusești: Ucraina se confruntă cu o nouă provocare New

Amenințarea dronelor rusești: Ucraina se confruntă cu o nouă provocare

Iarna trecută, atacurile cu rachete rusești au lăsat unele cartiere din Kiev fără curent electric timp de mai multe săptămâni. Anul acesta, vestea bună este că Ucraina se află într-o poziție mult mai avantajoasă, având o rețea electrică consolidată, o capacitate de producție a energiei ce depășește cererea, rezerve mari de gaze naturale și măsuri de protecție îmbunătățite, potrivit The Economist. Vestea proastă este că amenințările din partea Rusiei au evoluat încă și mai rapid, ucrainenii confruntându-se acum cu lipsa interceptoarelor de rachete balistice și cu noile valuri de drone rusești cu motoare cu reacție, care au terorizat țara în ultima perioadă.Încă dinainte de sfârșitul iernii trecute, consiliul de securitate al Ucrainei s-a angajat să facă toate eforturile pentru ca țara să nu mai ajungă în acea situație.Începând din luna aprilie, guvernul și companiile energetice au început să implementeze un plan de reziliență. Un alt plan acoperă refacerea rezervelor de apă. Strategia dă deja rezultate, fiind mai bine gestionată de noul ministru al energiei, Denis Șmîhal.„Până în decembrie, vom fi făcut de trei ori mai mult decât în orice an anterior”, a spus Oleksandr Harcenko, expert în energie.Până în 2026, niciunul dintre transformatoarele electrice din Kiev nu fuseseră consolidate. Acum, însă, multe dintre ele au fost protejate cu plase anti-drone și armături de beton, centralele electrice fiind și ele fortificate.Noile apărări ar trebui să reziste în fața oricărui tip de atac, mai puțin impactul direct cu o rachetă, a spus directorul Agenției de Restaurare a Statului, Serhii Suhomlin.Situația din aer este mult mai sumbră. Rusia a mărit ritmul de producție a rachetelor balistice până la aproximativ 100 pe lună, în timp ce stocul de interceptoare al Ucrainei este aproape epuizat.Ucraina încearcă să obțină 300 de rachete Patriot de la partenerii săi în această iarnă, dar nimic nu este sigur deocamdată. Proiectele privind construcția de interceptoare balistice pe teritoriul Ucrainei nu vor da rezultate decât peste ani de zile. În ultimele atacuri, doar 30% din dronele rusești cu motoare cu reacție au fost doborâte de ucraineni. Foto: Profimedia Images „Un atac concentrat cu rachete balistice poate distruge oricare din centralele noastre electrice”Forțele ucrainene speră să reducă din puterea de distrugere a armatei ruse prin lovirea lansatoarelor și a uzinelor din Rusia care produc rachete, desfășurând deja cu succes mai multe misiuni.Totuși, campania de bombardamente a Rusiei de anul acesta va fi cu siguranță mai distructivă decât cea precedentă. În ultimele patru luni, atacurile aeriene rusești au stabilit noi recorduri, potrivit lui Maxim Timcenko, director general al DTEK, compania care administrează rețeaua electrică din Kiev.Termocentralele uriașe din capitala Ucrainei sunt prea mari pentru a putea fi protejate în totalitate. „Un atac concentrat cu rachete balistice poate distruge oricare din centralele noastre electrice”, a mai spus Timcenko.În cele mai recente atacuri, rușii au lansat sute de drone cu motoare cu reacție în același timp. Ucraina a neutralizat aproape toate dronele kamikaze Shahed cu elice, reușind să doboare jur de 90% dintre ele.Noile modele, însă, sunt mult mai rapide, ajungând și la 600 de kilometri la oră, în loc de 200 de kilometri la oră – viteza pe care o atingeau vechile drone.Cu toate că este o transformare de mult așteptată, Ucraina nu a introdus o măsură eficientă de contracarare a noilor tipuri de drone rusești. Până acum, singurele metode eficiente de a doborî aceste drone sunt folosirea avioanelor de vânătoare scumpe, a lansatoarelor de rachete portabile sau a tunurilor antiaeriene.În ultimele atacuri, doar 30% din dronele rusești cu motoare cu reacție au fost doborâte de ucraineni, potrivit unei surse din conducerea forțelor de apărare antiaeriană ale Ucrainei. Ucraina încearcă să obțină 300 de rachete Patriot de la partenerii săi în această iarnă, dar nimic nu este sigur deocamdată. Foto: Profimedia Images „Ucraina nu a reușit să se pregătească corespunzător pentru această amenințare, dar este și vina partenerilor noștri”Încă și mai îngrijorător este faptul că aceste drone au putut lovi ținte extrem de importante pe care Rusia nu le-a putut distruge până acum folosind rachete balistice.Problema va deveni, cel mai probabil, tot mai gravă. În ciuda previziunilor țărilor occidentale, Rusia pare să fi găsit o cale de a produce motoare cu reacție la scară largă.Kremlinul a reușit să ocolească sancțiunile și a obținut echipamente de imprimare 3D pentru producția de turbine comparabile cu cele fabricate în uzinele Rolls Royce din Occident.Costul acestor drone a scăzut la jumătate sau chiar mai mult, fiind acum în jur de 50.000-70.000 de dolari, și va continua să scadă. „Ucraina nu a reușit să se pregătească corespunzător pentru această amenințare, dar este și vina partenerilor noștri pentru acest eșec”, a mai spus sursa din forțele antiaeriene ucrainene pentru The Economist.Un oficial important al guvernului de la Kiev a spus că nu vede niciun motiv pentru care situația din iarna aceasta va fi mai bună decât iarna trecută – capitala va fi „chinuită” odată ce va veni înghețul. Timcenko este ceva mai optimist, dar recunoaște că nimeni nu poate garanta că problemele de anul trecut nu se vor repeta.„Noi ne vom face treaba, asta este tot ce putem face”, a spus unul dintre meseriașii care lucrează pentru compania lui Timcenko. „Acum, totul depinde de cei de la forțele de apărare antiaeriene.” Editor : Raul Nețoiu

Bu kez, eskiden AKP’de siyaset yaparken CHP’ye geçen Amine Cansu Çelik, Üsküdar Belediyesi’ne yönelik soruşturma kapsamında tutuklandı.AKP’den CHP’ye geçen Çelik, Üsküdar Meclis Üyesi ve Belediye Başkan yardımcısı görevini yürütüyordu.

Banco del Bienestar advierte sobre el retiro de pensión en cajeros New

Banco del Bienestar advierte sobre el retiro de pensión en cajeros

Con el inicio del mes de septiembre, millones de personas adultas mayores en México comenzaron a recibir el depósito bimestral de la Pensión del Bienestar, uno de los programas sociales con mayor cobertura a nivel nacional. Ante el arranque de los pagos, el Banco del Bienestar emitió un aviso importante dirigido a quienes acuden a retirar su dinero en cajeros automáticos, con el objetivo de evitar comisiones innecesarias y reducir riesgos durante el cobro.Actualmente, el Banco del Bienestar mantiene una red de más de 3 mil sucursales en el país, donde los beneficiarios pueden realizar operaciones directamente. En sus cajeros automáticos, retirar dinero con la tarjeta emitida por la propia institución no genera comisión, por lo que ésta continúa siendo la alternativa para quienes quieren disponer de su apoyo sin perder parte del recurso en cargos bancarios.La recomendación resulta útil durante los periodos de dispersión de los programas sociales, cuando aumenta el número de beneficiarios que buscan retirar efectivo. Sin embargo, recibir el depósito no significa que sea necesario sacar todo el dinero inmediatamente. Los recursos permanecen en la cuenta y la tarjeta también puede utilizarse para realizar pagos directamente en establecimientos que cuenten con terminal bancaria.Aunque la Tarjeta del Bienestar permite utilizar cajeros pertenecientes a otras instituciones financieras, hacerlo puede generar un cobro. El propio Banco del Bienestar ha aclarado que no tiene convenios con bancos comerciales para realizar retiros gratuitos, por lo que la comisión depende de la institución propietaria del cajero y debe mostrarse al usuario antes de que confirme la operación.¿En qué bancos se puede retirar la Pensión Bienestar sin pagar comisión? | Archivo Retirar en cajeros de instituciones como BBVA, Banamex, Santander, Banorte u otros bancos puede generar una comisión. El monto depende de cada institución y puede cambiar, por lo que antes de aceptar la operación el cajero debe informar al usuario sobre el cargo correspondiente.Para evitar ese gasto, los beneficiarios pueden acudir directamente a cualquiera de las sucursales del Banco del Bienestar. La institución cuenta con un Directorio de Sucursales que permite localizar el punto de atención más cercano en cada entidad del país.¿Cómo retirar dinero del Banco del Bienestar? Es importante retirar tanto el dinero como la tarjeta antes de abandonar el lugar | Archivo Para realizar un retiro en cajero, el beneficiario debe introducir su tarjeta, ingresar su NIP, seleccionar la opción para retirar efectivo, elegir o escribir la cantidad y confirmar la operación. Es importante retirar tanto el dinero como la tarjeta antes de abandonar el lugar. Entre las recomendaciones de seguridad también se encuentra no proporcionar el NIP a desconocidos, evitar aceptar ayuda de personas ajenas a la institución y revisar que nadie observe la clave mientras se utiliza el cajero. En caso de tener dificultades, lo recomendable es solicitar orientación únicamente al personal identificado de la sucursal. Los beneficiarios tampoco necesitan recurrir a intermediarios para cobrar su pensión. En caso de robo, pérdida o algún problema relacionado con la tarjeta, el Banco del Bienestar dispone de la línea de atención 800 900 2000 para brindar orientación. Aviso: El Heraldo de México no realiza registros, inscripciones ni trámites relacionados con los Programas para el Bienestar.

Ciara and Russell Wilson's Family Grows: Baby No. 5 on the Way! New

Ciara and Russell Wilson's Family Grows: Baby No. 5 on the Way!

Ciara and husband Russell Wilson’s starting lineup is getting a little bigger. "One more person to love," Ciara, 40, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, September 6, announcing her pregnancy alongside several vintage-looking videos and photos of the singer and her former NFL quarterback husband, 37, revealing the pregnancy news. In the video and pics, Ciara could be seen rocking a simple pair of blue jeans and a white top that accentuated her growing baby bump. The couple posed alongside a clothesline featuring t-shirts boasting the names of the blended family's children alongside a nameless white onesie representing the baby-to-be. Ciara and Wilson, who have been married since 2016, are already the parents of daughters Sienna, 9, and Amora, 2, as well as son Win,5. (Ciara also shares eldest son Future, 11, with rapper ex Future.) Shortly after Ciara gave birth to Amora in December 2023, Wilson already had future babies on the brain. “My husband's been the one doing that. He's the one to pick this thing off,” the singer exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2026, revealing whether a fifth baby was in the cards for the couple. “I will tell you, when I was giving birth to Amora, … he was like shortly after, 'So cinco?' and I'm like, 'Wait a minute now, like slow it down, sir. We just had a baby here. Let's be in this moment here, sir.'” https://www.instagram.com/p/Dc9oQfID7ba/?stkn=b21obmNwZ2Q5YmM4&img_index=2 According to Ciara, she quickly told Wilson (“in a laughing way”) that his comment was “disrespectful” to hear in the delivery room. “I love being a mom. It's my favorite job of all, and I couldn't stand here and tell you that I don't see that happening one day in our lives to have cinco because why not?” she added to Us. “I think the greatest discovery for me is learning that I can figure it out.” Ciara continued at the time, “From the first day that I decided to be a mom, I was definitely really like, ‘OK, what's this world going to be like?’ A little uncertain, but I also had great faith and confidence in myself that it was going to be a beautiful chapter. I'm so glad that, over the years, in the midst of all my ambition and drive and determination and goals, that I feel I've been committing to living my life because we can't get it back. I don't want to look back and say, 'Man, I wish I would have.'” Ciara further gushed that motherhood “fills [her] cup up so much.” “It's a part of me being me. So I say, why not?” she teased of potentially having another baby. “Well, when the time is right, how about that?” Ciara and Wilson celebrated their 10th anniversary earlier that year amid his NFL retirement. After 14 seasons playing pro football, Wilson confirmed in June 2026 that he was hanging up his cleats and inking a deal with CBS Sports to serve as an analyst. “As I enter this next chapter with CBS Sports and 'The NFL Today,' I'm so blessed to continue doing what I love most — being around the greatest game in the world,” he said in a social media video. “I thank you, football. I am forever grateful." Ciara responded to Wilson’s announcement via Instagram comment, calling her husband “the best in the world.”

If it’s up to Russ, ‘cinco’ is coming next month.”Sure enough, Wilson wrote via Instagram eight months after Amora’s birth that his wife looked “so crazy [good] she [was] ready to have another one.” Community GuidelinesWelcome to the Page Six Community!Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.

The Chilling Insider Threat Aboard Air Force One on 9/11 New

The Chilling Insider Threat Aboard Air Force One on 9/11

In 2001, Richard Clarke was perhaps the most experienced person working in the White House. A member of the National Security Council, Clarke had spent 23 years in the executive branch and repeatedly warned about the risk of an attack on US soil by Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda.In June of that year, Clarke sent a memo to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on the subject. He warned her of the very strong possibility of an imminent major terrorist attack and of serious gaps in the nation’s emergency protocols.In July, they met in person to discuss the threat further. That day, he expressed his worry about the continuity of government in the wake of such an attack and presidential succession. White House chief of staff Andrew Card whispers into the ear of President George W. Bush to give him word of the terrorist attacks. APIn August, his warnings made their way into a presidential brief. It was titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US.”At some point in these conversations Clarke even presciently predicted that such an attack could include an unthinkable horror: the hijacking and weaponization of passenger-filled commercial airliners.But as the investigative journalist Jeffrey Robinson describes in his revelatory “Ash and Honor: The Untold 368 Minutes of 9/11 (St. Martin’s Press), Rice expressed skepticism and “accused the CIA and Clarke of sensationalizing Osama bin Laden, just trying to scare everybody.”Osama bin Laden Getty ImagesLittle more than a month later, Rice used a secure phone to tell the president that the World Trade Center had just been hit by the first of four hijacked airliners on a kamikaze mission, the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor.In “Ash and Honor,” Robinson skillfully weaves together underreported stories of that day from around the world. He reviewed scores of documents (and some reports he believes are still classified) and interviewed over 65 eyewitnesses to the day’s events. Pilots, soldiers, civilians, spies — all their recollections come together to create a new portrait of the chaos and the brave souls who weathered it.When the nation came under attack, the president was in Sarasota, Fla., visiting the Emma E. Booker Elementary School for what the author calls “a media stunt before sixteen second graders, designed to highlight a new education initiative.”Edward Marinzel DOJBy the time Rice’s ominous call came through, Eddie Marinzel and Dave Wilkinson, the two men leading Bush’s Presidential Protective Division that day, had already decided to get Bush on Air Force One and off the ground. Where to was unknown.Bush demanded to be taken back to Washington, DC, eager to reassure the nation that he was in control. But returning to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. was not an option. The White House was still a potential target.Then things got worse: Word arrived that the plane carrying the commander in chief was itself a bull’s-eye on the terrorists’ list of targets, writes Robinson.That became clear at 10:22 a.m. A phone rang in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), a concrete bunker located five stories beneath the East Wing of the White House.President George W. Bush meets with, from left, Vice President Dick Cheney, Chief of Staff Andy Card, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Carl Truscott in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center of the White House. Getty ImagesMarine Corps Maj. Bob Darling answered. On the other end of the line was a Secret Service agent calling from the Situation Room. The agent “said that a reliable source had called the White House with a warning.” “Angel is next.”Shocked, Darling looked across the table to Rice and repeated what he just heard.“Angel is next.”“Who the hell is Angel?” Rice asked.“Air Force One,” Darling responded.The president’s plane was then high over the Gulf of Mexico. News of the threat “freaked out everyone.” That someone had made a threat against the president was not surprising. But this one was different, because whoever made it knew about the codename Angel — “the classified code for Air Force One.” “This time the threat was next-level ominous. The unthinkable was suddenly a real possibility. The threat could be coming from someone either inside the security bubble that surrounded the president or close enough to that bubble to know how to get inside.”Marinzel and Wilkinson “assumed the worst”: that the threat might have come from someone aboard Angel itself. They considered whether it could be a “rogue Secret Service agent,” a steward, a guest, or a member of the press corps. A fiery blast rocks the World Trade Center after being hit by two planes on Sept. 11, 2001, in New York City. Getty Images “No one could be trusted,” writes Robinson.Col. Mark Tillman, the pilot, decided to make Air Force One invisible. “He called down to the FAA and ordered total radio silence. Forget us. Do not call this plane. Leave us alone.” The plane still did not have fighter escorts, despite having called for them multiple times since takeoff.So spooked were Marinzel and Wilkinson that they locked down the plane. Everyone onboard was ordered to remain in their assigned seats. Agents stood at the front of every cabin, eyeing everyone for suspicious activity. All cellphones were confiscated. No one was allowed to come forward without authorization.While Marinzel’s team searched the plane for bombs and drugs, the words ” ‘Angel is next’ continued to echo in everyone’s mind.”Locked away in a secure cabin, Bush was trying to get a hold of his family. Several of the plane’s commercial systems were down. Commercial phone systems “were jammed by an enormous increase in traffic” as millions of people were suddenly calling loved ones to check on them. “Ash and Honor” is out now. “It was so bad that when the president sent someone up to the communications room to check on his wife and daughters, he was told they had no way of reaching them.” Back in the PEOC bunker, Darling “kept staring at the oxygen meter” on the wall. “With so many people huddled together, the meter was now showing oxygen levels close to red-line dangerous.” Air Force One was still without protection.At Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, Lt. Col. Steve Usher noticed that the plane was flying alone, and no one was doing anything about it. He made a request to his superior, Gen. Arnold, to scramble jets. Arnold technically didn’t have the authority to make that call. “Just do it,” Arnold said, “and we’ll worry about permission later.”Usher had to get creative. The nearby planes he would have called were unavailable. But the 111th Fighter Squadron of the Texas Air National Guard had what he needed, two F-16s. He sent them into the sky. Later, he learned that the 111th had a pilot on their roster flying an F-102 from 1968 to 1973: 1st Lt. George W. Bush.Circling in the air over Florida, that pilot-turned-president still insisted the plane needed to get back to DC so he could address the nation on television. His staff couldn’t stomach this. They aimed the plane instead toward Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport, La., the nation’s primary nuclear command-and-control center.“Bush became very animated.” He wanted to be back in DC and didn’t want to look like he was “running away from the bad guys.”But his security staff made a compelling argument for Barksdale, and the president begrudgingly agreed. As the plane approached the base, a soldier answered a call announcing, “Code Alpha is inbound.” The soldier on the ground didn’t know what that meant and replied that the plane wasn’t welcome — the base was in the middle of a war game, and “B-52s carrying live nuclear weapons were lined up along the runways.” President George W. Bush delivers remarks on the terrorist attacks on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, from Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. Bush spoke at the base before departing for Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Getty ImagesEventually, Lt. Gen. Thomas Keck caught wind of the conversation, realized what was happening and muttered, “We’re living in a Tom Clancy novel.”At 10:45 p.m. local time, Air Force One landed. Bush climbed out of the underbelly of the plane on a ladder and stepped into a minivan that drove him off. (The bombers on the runway, it turns out, weren’t actually armed with nukes.) After another pit stop in Nebraska, Bush made it back to DC on the morning of Sept. 12.What to make of the “Angel is next” threat? “If in fact it had been a plot,” writes Robinson, “obviously, it didn’t get carried out.” In the decades since, no one has definitively pieced together where the warning came from. According to the author, Darling believes there was intelligence gathered in Sarasota that there was a threat against the president. A Secret Service agent intended to communicate that threat, and used the appropriate code words, not realizing that the way he passed the message implied what it did. Hence, panic over an insider attack. This is but one of the many tales from that nightmare day that Robinson knits together in “Ash and Honor.” Robinson notes that much has been written and filmed about the horrific events of 9/11, but he wanted to tell of “the ashes and the honor of that day.” Of the many people who contributed their experiences to the project, he writes: “the word Honor in the title of this book belongs to you.”
