unfortunately. Rescue teams are working tonight,

driven by the hope that they will find the men alive.

What are the latest developments? What they hope to do is to pump out

enough water so they can send down a diver. Hopefully, that person can

work through the water and find out what has happened underneath. We

are told that the four are experienced, so they should know

what to do in an emergency. You should, as a miner, go through

drills to know what happens if there is a collapse. It is

understood there are air pockets and possibly oxygen supplies

available to them. However, nobody knows if they are in the right

location to get to that supply, or whether they may be in another part

of the mine, in another area at just a few miles down the road, the

families are gathered together. We understand they are been giving

information first, and constant support by police and security

workers. Everyone here is very hopeful and crossing their fingers

that this will be resolved successfully and that some time

overnight contact will be made. Thank you.

David Cameron and President Sarkozy have become the first Western

leaders to visit Libya since they Gaddafi regime was swept from power

last month. Mr Cameron said the NATO mission would continue until

Gaddafi's remaining fighters had been defeated. President Sarkozy

insisted Gaddafi was still the danger and that there was, in his

words, a job to finish. From Tripoli, Andrew Harding reports.

It is not quite mission accomplished, but the French and

British leaders arrived here in Libya today inclined to celebrate.

It is a very good day for us. We are very proud to be here. Britain

played a role, which I am proud of, but in the end this was what the

Libyans did themselves. I want to congratulate them and work out how

we can help next as they rebuild the country. The helicopter went

into the heart of Tripoli. But listen to the adulation at this

hospital. It is genuine. Without NATO air support, they know they're

unlikely revolution would have stumbled. Some of the injured will

now come to British hospitals. It is part of a much bigger plan. On

the streets of Tripoli, they are still keen for outside help.

need support from the world. Not England and France, but all of the

world. They helped us from the beginning for our revolution and I

hope they will continue helping us, until we get to normal. It is seven

years since Tony Blair first came here to try to bring Colonel

Gaddafi in from the cold. Today, David Cameron is visiting what

feels in many ways like a completely different country. There

is still serious fighting here and plenty of political instability.

But in many ways, this is a country that is stabilising every day.

I have seen is impressive. This is people who want to take the lead to

sort out their country. It is very important that we help them, rather

than try and lecture them. Swapping gifts with the Libyan team trying

to fill the political vacuum. There were hints today that Britain and

France might be rewarded with oil contract by a grid formation. Mr

Sarkozy insisted there was no hidden agenda. And Mr Cameron

stressed that Libya's war is not over. This work is not finished yet.

There are still parts of Libya under Gaddafi control. And the

message, I think, to Gaddafi and all those still holding arms on his

behalf is, it is over, give up. The mercenaries should go home. No sign

of that, there will. Fighting today intensifying around Gaddafi's home

town. His loyalists could still destabilise Libya. And yet been

Benghazi this afternoon, it felt mocha victory parade. Colonel

Gaddafi said he would hunt you down like rats, but you showed the

courage of Lyons, and we salute your courage.

A triumphant moment in Libya's messy endgame.

Five of the world's leading central banks, including the US Federal

Reserve and the Bank of England are taking co-ordinated action to halt

the financial system. They will provide commercial banks with new

loans to help ease funding pressures. The head of the

International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, said the world

was in a dangerous new phase which needed bold leadership, and she

went on to accuse politicians of being indecisive. Gavin Hewitt has

more details. On a day of gloomy forecasts, a

concerted move by the world's most powerful central banks. Short-term

loans are going to be made available to commercial banks.

There had been growing concerns that banks were stopping lending to

each other because of fears they might face losses in the eurozone.

In Greece, more protests against the austerity demanded by Europe's

leaders in exchange for a further bail-out. This, on a day when the

eurozone was told that growth was expected to come to a virtual

standstill by the end of the year. There was also a warning that a

combination of weak growth and high debt was leading to a dangerous

loss of confidence. This vicious cycle is gaining momentum, and

frankly it has been exacerbated by policy uncertainty and political

lack of resolve. Greece remains at the heart of the crisis. So far, a

bail-out and austerity measures have not worked. Greece's debts

have soared to 350 billion euros, and the economy is expected to

shrink by 5% this year. The country needs a further 8 billion euros by

mid-October to survive, with no growth it is hard to see how the

country can avoid defaulting sooner or later. Italy is the other big

concern. This was central Rome yesterday, after austerity cuts

were adopted there. The problem with Italy is that its debts are so

big it can't be rescued. This weekend the Americans will suggest

to the Europeans that they should borrow against their main bail-out

fund to give them greater resources, if Italy needs help. We are having

plenty of noise and reassurance from politicians but the feeling is

there is not enough action, not enough plans being put in place.

Greece, they were cleaning up their vandalised central bank. Elsewhere,

the world's Central Banks signalled they were prepared to work together

to help struggling banks, and the markets judged that a positive step.

With me, our economics editor Stephanie Flanders. Last night we

were talking about the search for some kind of solution. Have the

central banks come up with something? They have a short-term

solution to a key part of the crisis which, as Gavin said, is the

pressure that has been building on important European banks. You have

big French and German banks that did learned a lot of money to

countries like Ireland, Greece, Italy, Spain, and as those

governments have come under pressure people have wondered

whether the banks will get their money back. The shares have

collapsed and bangs have been finding it harder and harder to

raise money in the financial markets. We know from 2008 that

when some banks are finding it harder to raise money that can make

it hard for all banks, British banks, to raise money. If they

cannot borrow, they cannot lend to businesses and consumers, so

central bank governors thought this was an important problem and they

said today that they will not let it happen and will make unlimited

amounts of liquidity available to these banks to see them through to

the end of the year. That, as Gavin said, has build confidence. But it

is only the short-term problems facing the banks that it resolves.

You still have a long-term debt issues of the governments in the

eurozone which have not been resolved because central bank

governors alone cannot deal with those. It has to be a question for

policy makers, and that is something the finance ministers

can trade, but in the end, the problem is, if you are employing

intelligent people and they want to get around the systems, there is a

chance they will find a way. That is why what is needed is a moral

separate out the Wild West casino operation from the world of banking

inhabited by ordinary men and women on the High Street, and ordinary

businesses, we are in real trouble. That is what Sir John Vickers'

Banking Commission proposed and why we have to get on with implementing

that proposal as quickly as possible. This is how UPS like to

shortage of midwives is putting Preparations have started to evict

hundreds of travellers living illegally at Dale Farm in Essex.

The local council has issued an open letter asking them to co-

operate and leave the site peacefully. The eviction is due on

Monday, following a ten-year legal battle. In their campaign against

being removed, the travellers won the support of un Committee and

activists from around Britain and Europe backlash of a UN committee.

After weeks in which this claustrophobic and has become the

unlikely object of international scrutiny, some are now leaving.

Among the majority, there is no desire for physical confrontation.

But there is also a sense that the travellers have already achieved

unprecedented attention for their cause, something unimaginable just

a generation ago. This was the Irish traveller world of all. Off

roadside camps and constant movement. Of people who kept to

themselves and were feared and resented by the settled community.

In the 60s and 70s, Irish travellers began to emerge from the

shadows and organise. Candy Sheridan, with Irish roots but

raised in England, is a symbol of change. The first in her family to

get a formal education, she entered politics and was elected as a

Liberal Democrat counsellor. It is the women in the traveller

community, she says, who are the agents of change. They don't want

the poverty, the roadside living, they want their children to stay

and have an education. It has politicised the parents and the

mothers, they know they can go to meetings now and hold their own.

is a world in a state of flux between the old ways and the new.

The symbols of modern prosperity for some, alongside icons of an

older religious devotion. The desire to educate the next

generation, set against the pool -- the pull of the nomadic lifestyle.

What would it mean to give up the travelling lifestyle? I would not

give up being a traveller. We are very close, tight community. Travel

up the leafy lanes near Dale Farm and the concerns of local residents

are the same you will often hear from settled communities in Ireland.

There is anger over or what is seen as flouting of planning laws and

anti-social behaviour. We had the rubbish and three-piece suites

dumped in the lane. Len Gridley said he has received death threats

from his opposition to the camp. They want everything and asked to

give everything. Unfortunately, we are not going to know more. We have

As preparations are made for eviction, feelings on both sides

are running high. Shame on you! Whatever success they have had in

lobbying internationally, the fact remains that the travellers' cause

is profoundly unpopular in Britain. Scenes like this are certain to be

repeated, as other councils move against other illegal sites.

The Royal College of Midwives is warning that the safety of mothers

and babies is being put at risk in some parts of England by a shortage

of staff. His says rising birth weights and increasing numbers of

complicated deliveries -- it said He is three days old and getting

ready to go home for the first time. His mother has stayed in hospital

to make sure she gets the hang of breast feeding. She is lucky to be

able to. Wansbeck Hospital is in Northumberland, one of the areas

with the highest rates of midwife care, but a rising birthright --

birth rate and more complicated deliveries are putting pressure on

services across the country. Mothers who are happy with the

level of care that they get but it is different in other parts of the

country -- mothers here are happy. They are significant variations in

the level of care depending on where you live. It says the

shortage bridges across England but it is graced tizz in the east of

England -- greatest in the east of England. Pressures are much less in

the rest of the UK, because of different priorities in the health

services of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Susanne Remic

knows how bad it can be when midwives are overstretched. When

she had her son, she was left hours without being checked, and

eventually had an emergency Caesarean section after his heart

stopped beating. I felt like I was just on a production line. They

just wanted me to come in, have the baby and go home. There was no care.

The RCM once nearly 5,000 extra midwives in our -- the RCM wants

nearly 5,000 extra midwives in England. Safety goes if you don't

have one to one care in labour. Something might be missed. Once we

get to a really critical point, our maternity services won't be safe.

The Department of Health says all women should be able to expect

excellent maternity care, and record numbers of midwives are

being trained. But training doesn't guarantee work. Individual health

trusts decide on staff numbers, and as Leanne Petherbridge knows, many

are not recruiting. She has just qualified but cannot find a

midwifery job even an hour from home. Only two of her fellow

students have worked for. It is soul-destroying, the fact that we

are willing to fulfil those vacancies but because of the powers

that be, they won't release jobs for us to apply full. The health

service is being squeezed as never before, leaving many midwives

asking whether pressures are about to get worse.

The National Grid is considering building thousands of new

electricity pylons to connect a new generation of power stations and

wind farms to the National Grid. Conservationists are already

battling to oppose the plans, insisting that the visual impact on

the countryside will be a disaster. They say the cables should be

buried underground. Our rural affairs correspondent reports.

They stand as icons of an industrial age, pylon spring power

from where it is generated in to the National Grid. -- pylon sprint

power. They keep the lights on -- pylon us bring power. There are new

state of the art designs, but for many, the pylon will always remain

essential but unloved. A pylon is still a pylon. The ideal solution

would be to bury power cables in the ground. That way, any intrusion

into our most cherished landscapes is kept to a minimum. They have

always been controversial. How about this for a bit of direct

action? 1940s style. By the 1950s, the network was almost complete,

even if health and safety still needed some work. All a long way

from the hard hats and high visibility of the day. The one

constant is that moving 440,000 volts of electricity across the

countryside is hard work. What is the alternative? Conservationists

insist more cables should be put underground, like here in the Wye

Valley. Burying cable may sound easy, but in reality it looks like

this, a 65 metres wave cut through the countryside. On each side of

this temporary road, there will be two trenches dug to take the cables

themselves. All of it, comes at an immense cost. Indeed, the National

Grid says the price tag for burying cables is �22 million per kilometre,

some 10 times the cost of pylons. The cost of underground cables are

very high, and they go through to consumers in their bills. It is a

question of how much we want to pay for electricity against the visual

impact over line -- overground power lines have. Conservationists
