Afternoon, friends, Ore and Sonali with you live just after five, and

:00:17.:00:26.

wishing you a happy two-months-til- Christmas Day. It is one day and

:00:26.:00:29.

will do Varley tomorrow, that is what you should be talking about! -

:00:29.:00:35.

- until Diwali tomorrow. Lots more important things on the way today,

:00:35.:00:38.

Including the school where you always see double - it has nine

:00:38.:00:42.

sets of twins in just one year! And one hump or two? The ice cream

:00:42.:00:45.

made with milk from a camel! But first tonight - for decades he

:00:45.:00:49.

ran Libya as a dictator. But today, the body of Colonel Gadaffi was

:00:49.:00:52.

buried in secret, deep in the Sahara desert. He was killed last

:00:52.:00:55.

week after being captured by fighters loyal to the country's new

:00:55.:00:57.

government. Libyan officials won't tell anyone exactly where his grave

:00:57.:01:02.

is, because they don't want his supporters turning it into a shrine.

:01:02.:01:04.

Under his rule, many Libyan families moved to Britain hoping

:01:04.:01:08.

for a better life. Newsround's been in Manchester, catching up with two

:01:08.:01:11.

girls who're excited about the future of the country they call

:01:11.:01:17.

their "real" home. For months, Maryam and Aisha have

:01:17.:01:20.

been glued to their TV screen and the internet, desperate to find out

:01:20.:01:24.

what's been happening in Libya. For the last eight months, people have

:01:24.:01:30.

fought to get rid of the country's leader, Colonel Gaddafi. Maryam was

:01:30.:01:33.

born in Libya's capital city, Tripoli, but left the country with

:01:33.:01:37.

her Mum when she was just two years old. Like lots of Libyan families,

:01:38.:01:40.

they moved to England because they hated the way Colonel Gaddafi

:01:40.:01:45.

treated his own people. Their uncle, who lives in Libya, told his nieces

:01:45.:01:48.

earlier in the year that he'd joined the rebels fighting to free

:01:48.:01:57.

the country. At the time it was really scary and we were just on

:01:57.:02:00.

our nerves, because we couldn't get hold of him after that. So we

:02:00.:02:03.

didn't know whether he would live or die. And after months of

:02:03.:02:13.
:02:13.:02:15.

fighting, last week Gaddafi's rule came to an end. After 42 years of

:02:15.:02:18.

the struggle and the pain, the blood and the sweat, that day

:02:18.:02:21.

finally came. The only things that I wasn't really happy about that I

:02:21.:02:24.

wasn't there to witness all the celebrations and everything for it.

:02:24.:02:26.

We want better buildings, better schools, better education better

:02:27.:02:30.

hospitals and all that. With the money we are able to do all that,

:02:30.:02:38.

but it will take a bit of time. Libya becomes a safer place, the

:02:38.:02:48.
:02:48.:02:51.

girls could be back visiting their I just can't wait to go home, and

:02:51.:02:54.

see all my family again after such a long time.

:02:54.:02:57.

Thank you, Hayley. Let's get you the latest on the Turkish

:02:57.:02:59.

earthquake now. Amazingly, almost two full days after the quake

:02:59.:03:02.

struck, a baby, her mum and her grandmother have all been pulled

:03:02.:03:05.

from the rubble of a destroyed building. Baby Azra, who's only two

:03:05.:03:09.

weeks old, was rescued in the town of Ercis and she was soon followed

:03:09.:03:12.

by her mum. Rescuers are still searching for her dad. The number

:03:12.:03:15.

of people killed by the earthquake has risen to 432. Last night,

:03:15.:03:18.

thousands of people who have lost their homes had to sleep outside

:03:18.:03:21.

for a second night. Tents, blankets, food and water are being sent into

:03:21.:03:24.

the area. It's been a weird couple of weeks

:03:24.:03:27.

with the weather, first it was really hot and then, over the past

:03:27.:03:31.

day or so, it's been chucking it down in some parts of the country.

:03:31.:03:34.

Cornwall and west Devon have been hit by flash floods with lots of

:03:34.:03:38.

rain has fallen in a short time. They're still on flood alert there.

:03:38.:03:42.

Over in Ireland, Dublin was hit with a month's worth of rain in two

:03:42.:03:47.

days. Two people died after been swept away by the water.

:03:47.:03:50.

A rare breed of rhino has been wiped out in some parts of the

:03:51.:03:54.

world. This is the Javan rhinoceros - it's thought there are only about

:03:54.:03:59.

60 of them left. A couple of years ago they were found living in a

:03:59.:04:02.

park in Vietnam in Asia, but the last one was shot dead earlier this

:04:02.:04:05.

year. Now conservationists reckon they're extinct there. They're

:04:05.:04:08.

blaming poaching as the main cause. Some people believe rhino horns can

:04:08.:04:12.

cure illnesses. But according the Worldwide Fund for Nature, they've

:04:13.:04:22.

got that completely wrong. In fact, rhino horn, many people don't

:04:22.:04:29.

realise, is composed mostly of keratin, which is what our finger

:04:29.:04:32.

nails and hair are made of. It has no medicinal properties whatsoever.

:04:32.:04:35.

It certainly is not capable of curing cancer.

:04:35.:04:38.

It's the war-dance ritual they perform before every match, and

:04:38.:04:41.

when we watched New Zealand line up for the Haka this weekend in the

:04:41.:04:45.

rugby World Cup final, we knew we had a game on our hands.

:04:45.:04:48.

Unfortunately, it ended up costing their opposition, France, �2,500!

:04:48.:04:51.

As the All Blacks belted out their traditional Haka on Sunday, the

:04:51.:04:56.

French walked towards them. But rugby bosses say the French team

:04:56.:05:01.

got too close and have fined them! Even the New Zealand coach reckons

:05:01.:05:06.

that's a bit harsh. Now to the school that is so twin-

:05:06.:05:09.

tastic, you'd be forgiven for thinking you had something wrong

:05:09.:05:12.

with your eyes. The secondary in Chesterfield has nine sets of twins

:05:12.:05:15.

in just one year group. Lucky for the teachers, one of the sets isn't

:05:15.:05:22.

Jedward. I've been told there's something

:05:22.:05:26.

funny going on at this school, and it's making the teachers see double.

:05:26.:05:32.

Hello, girls. You to look quite similar, what's going on? We are

:05:32.:05:38.

twins. I am Bethany. I am caught me. We are not the only ones. There are

:05:38.:05:41.

nine sets of twins in the same year and it is causing a bit of

:05:41.:05:47.

confusion. My history teacher calls me Ollie and calls my brother Josh.

:05:47.:05:53.

They used to call me Aaron instead of Ian. In year three, we used to

:05:53.:05:58.

swap places and a teacher used to get us muddled up. We are fraternal

:05:58.:06:06.

twins. What does that mean? just did the twin thing with her!

:06:06.:06:14.

It is a words you use when twins are not the same. I have to share a

:06:14.:06:17.

birthday. You always get the same presents at Christmas. You get less

:06:17.:06:21.

things. People think you can get away with buying one present to

:06:21.:06:26.

share. What is the best bit about being a twin? Having somebody to

:06:26.:06:31.

talk to, just been able to share stuff. What is it like having nine

:06:31.:06:35.

sets of twins here? It is quite incredible. It gets confusing for

:06:35.:06:40.

everyone. A lot of the teachers are confused. How do you cope with it?

:06:40.:06:42.

The children are all put in different classes, there is never

:06:42.:06:47.

more than two or three sets of twins at most, we tried to help the

:06:47.:06:52.

teachers as best as we can. Having so many twins in one year is so

:06:52.:07:02.
:07:02.:07:03.

unusual, we think it could be a record. Let's cause some have look!

:07:03.:07:09.

You can find out what havoc they caused in another show, probably!

:07:09.:07:12.

It's not quite bonfire night yet, but sparks have been flying in

:07:12.:07:22.
:07:22.:07:22.

Italy. These amazing pictures are of Mount Etna erupting, again. It

:07:22.:07:25.

is the most active volcano in Europe, after all. Some of the

:07:25.:07:29.

rocks and lava shot 100 metres into the air, and a nearby airport had

:07:29.:07:31.

to be closed because of smoke and ash.

:07:31.:07:34.

Last up, to something that made me and Ore gag when we first heard

:07:34.:07:37.

about it this morning. Camel ice cream. And then we got the full

:07:37.:07:40.

story - This isn't actually camel- flavoured ice cream. It's ice cream

:07:40.:07:44.

made from milk from a camel. Its makers say it's got less fat and

:07:44.:07:47.

more vitamins than normal ice cream. It's already a popular dessert in

:07:47.:07:52.
