New evidence emerges of atrocities carried out by Colonel Gaddafi's | :00:03. | :00:08. | |
forces. As fears grow for the fate of thousands of prisoners, human | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
remains are found at a military base outside Tripoli. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
We cannot show you the kind of pictures that would convey the | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
horror of what happened in here. It is very hard to even imagine the | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
terror in the last few moments for the men who were trapped inside. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Hurricane Irene claims more lives, as it sweeps up America's East | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Coast. There's widespread damage, but New York appears to have | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
escaped the worst of its impact. Disaster for Usain Bolt at the | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
World Athletics Championships, as he puts himself out of the medals. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
And, Manchester United put eight goals past Arsenal, to go top of | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
:01:04. | :01:15. | ||
In Libya, there's new evidence of atrocities carried out by Colonel | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Gaddafi's forces in their final days of power. Human Rights Watch | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
says it has uncovered dozens of arbitrary executions, and just | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
outside Tripoli, the BBC has filmed the aftermath of an apparent | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
massacre in a military base with testimony from men who escaped, | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
forced to leave relatives behind. I should warn you Orla Guerin's | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
:01:42. | :01:45. | ||
report contains some graphic and distressing images. | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
In the shadow of the Eagle, dark secrets are coming to light. This | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
was the headquarters of a much feared army unit run by Colonel | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
Gaddafi's son. In a compounded just behind it, we found victims of | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
execution, killed on Tuesday, in the dying days of the regime. This | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
man's feet were still bound. But there was worse to come. Inside | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
this smouldering Warehouse, the charred remains of dozens of bodies. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
We cannot show you the kind of pictures that would convey the | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
horror of what happened in here. It is very hard to even imagine the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
terror in the last few moments for the men who were trapped inside. | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
:02:48. | :02:48. | ||
What we can say for certain is that they were shown absolutely no mercy. | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
This man was one of them. He managed to flee the warehouse, but | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
without his three sons. He says up to 150 civilians were packed in | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
here, guarded by troops and mercenaries. They promised them | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
water at sunset. But they came with guns instead. They started shooting | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
like this, he said. Then, they threw in hand grenades, three of | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
them. They stopped and came back and started again. The sight and | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
:03:47. | :03:52. | ||
smell were too much for some. For others, the grief was overwhelming. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Husbands and fathers and sons had gone down here, men who never lived | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
to see freely Libya. Our world affairs editor John | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
Simpson is in Tripoli now. There are concerns of up to 50,000 | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
prisoners arrested during the regime who still cannot be found. | :04:16. | :04:25. | |
What more can you tell us on that? Not a great deal I am afraid, | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
because their fate is a complete mystery. I am sure a lot of them | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
will have managed to have made their escape. But we know already, | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
even before this terrible new evidence, that quite a few | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
prisoners had been murdered, people had been herded into courtyards and | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
so on, and mown down. What we do not know his whose orders these are | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
on, a local initiative of a few soldiers, or whether it went right | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
up to the very top, to Colonel Gaddafi himself and his son. So, we | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
simply cannot tell at this stage. Hurricane Irene has caused | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
widespread damage along America's East Coast, so far claiming at | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
least 11 lives and causing billions of dollars of damage. More than two | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
million people were ordered to leave their homes, and an estimated | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
four million properties have been left without power. As Irene made | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
her way up the East Coast from North Carolina to New Jersey, it | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
was downgraded to a tropical storm. That's been fortunate for New York, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
where damage is not as bad as was feared. Our correspondent Steve | :05:32. | :05:42. | |
:05:42. | :05:44. | ||
Kingstone is in New York for us this evening. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Right now here in New York, what we are feeling is the tail-end of this | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
storm system. As you said, Hurricane Irene was officially | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm, that means it has a | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
lower wind speeds. But as we have seen today, she is still capable of | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
inflicting serious damage. This morning, a giant waves | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
buffeted the Atlantic coast as the artillery of destruction moved | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
north. There goes the Life Guard shack. Here, rescuers helped an | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
elderly resident from a home defenders against the tidal surge. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
The storm unloaded one ft of water, winds of 70 mph brought down power | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
lines leaving millions without electricity. We're not out of the | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
woods yet. Hurricane Irene remains a large and potentially dangerous | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
storm, hazards still persist in committees that have already seen | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
this storm pass. At the southern tip of Manhattan, torrential rain | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
brought flooding. Its arrival has coincided with high tide which | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
would normally stop about four feet below this harbour wall. But the | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
waters have crept up with the storm surge, and are making their way | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
into lower Manhattan. We have the skyscrapers of the financial | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
district, Wall Street is a few blocks away. Before long, some | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
streets were partially under water as trains felt the strain. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
Hurricane Irene has left her mark on Manhattan. It could have been | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
worse. Gradually, New Yorkers emerged to take a look, some had | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
ignored the order to abandon their homes. It is hard to tell my | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
husband what to do. Mandatory evacuation, OK, let's make this a | :07:40. | :07:50. | |
beautiful day. You ignored it? we went about our business. | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
many others further south are counting the cost in dollars and in | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
human life. When a falling tree crashed through this apartment | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
block in Virginia, an 11-year-old boy inside stood no chance. | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Officially, Hurricane Irene is now with tropical storm, but she will | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
live long in the memory. The eye of the storm has passed through New | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
York and the mayor has said about an hour from now the evacuation | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
order will be lifted. Hurricane will move through New England | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
before breaking up over Canada this evening. It did not wreak the | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
Armageddon scenarios some officials had feared but Hurricane Irene has | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
left a trail of destruction that will cost billions of dollars to | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
put right. The British Army is reported to have been cleared of | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
systematically torturing civilians in the aftermath of the invasion of | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Iraq in 2003. The Sunday Telegraph says an inquiry into the death of a | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
hotel worker, Baha Mousa, has found no evidence of widespread abuse and | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
murder. But individual soldiers will be criticised. Jon Brain | :08:54. | :09:04. | |
:09:04. | :09:04. | ||
reports. Baha Mousa was in a cut seat of the | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
British Army for less than 48 hours. In that time, the hotel | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
receptionist suffered 90 separate injuries before dying of | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
asphyxiation. He was one of a number of Iraqis seen in this video | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
being verbally abused while hooded and inbound, stressed positions. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
According to the Sunday Telegraph, the three-year inquiry into the | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
death will clear the Army of systematic torture and abuse. | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Instead, it says it will criticise the conduct of individual soldiers | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
and highlight numerous failures in the army's chain of command. | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
Critics say, if true, it is a huge disappointment. The issues that | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
there is an abuse of human rights committed by the Army within the | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
knowledge of the Army, within the system, this cannot continue. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Supporters of the Army claimed the vast majority of British troops in | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
Iraq conducted themselves with professionalism and decency. This | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
is a leaked report, it is not official. The Army has taken | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
extensive action to try to mitigate against such a thing ever happening | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
again. You cannot stop it entirely. The Ministry of Defence will not | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
comment until the report is published but it does describe the | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
treatment of Baha Mousa as a shameful and inexcusable. Officials | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
insist lessons have been learned and they say the inquiry's | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
:10:40. | :10:41. | ||
recommendations will be studied carefully. | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
It's been confirmed that a total of 24 so-called "free schools", set up | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
by parents, faith groups and others, will open in England for the start | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
of the new school year. The government says the state-funded | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
schools, which are outside local authority control, will drive up | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
standards. Critics, including teachers' unions, fear they will | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
take pupils and resources away from other schools. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
It has been a middle school and college, but now it will be a free | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
school. 49 children will be here. Not only will it be Bradford's | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
latest primary but, like all free schools, it will be independent of | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
local authority control. When the centre of inner-city Bradford, for | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
the past 25 years, the state education system has failed us, we | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
will definitely reform that and bring about positive change for the | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
children of this area. This primary won't be alone, there will be a | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
second free school, both in inner- city Bradford. What is happening in | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
Bradford is exactly what the government wants, parents and | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
communities taking charge of their children's education in some of the | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
most deprived areas, to raise standards. Not every community is | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
getting a free school. There are only five in the north of England, | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
a handful in the Midlands. Half of the 24 free schools will be in the | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
south. The largest number in London. Some believe they are divisive and | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
a necessary. As any child start a new school, one would want them to | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
have the best opportunities they can. It is our view those are | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
provided by the existing state comprehensive schools and we can | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
see that from the fat results have improved in these schools at GCSE | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
and A-level year on year. In a few weeks, free schools will open their | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
doors to children, the change is a worry to some. The government | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
believes it is time to trust parents to get it right. Here's | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
Francis Collings with today's sport. What a day for both Manchester | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
football teams. And a collective hammering for north London. | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Manchester City put five goals past Spurs today, with four for Edin | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Jecko. And Manchester United routed Arsenal at Old Trafford scoring | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
eight goals in the process, to go top of the Premier League. Patrick | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
Gearey reports. Arsenal's win over Manchester | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
United on 1st May was the last time they won a league game. Mayday has | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
been in in their fans is busily. Arsene Wenger has backed himself up | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
against any sense of crisis but they are defending tells a | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
different story, well Barack Obama with a soft goal. The tale of woe | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
:13:35. | :13:36. | ||
went on even when they had this penalty. It ended up going wrong. | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
Ashley Young, his first United goal at Old Trafford was iconic. A team | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
having fun. Wayne Rooney joined in with a goal. Wayne Rooney like his | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
gold so much he went for another one. Nani and Ji-Sung Park added | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
further humiliation. Wayne Rooney completed his hat-trick. Then a | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
wonderful second for Ashley Young ensured this is one of the worst | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
days in Arsenal's recent history. United go top. | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
They have moved above Manchester City who went goal crazy. Dzeko was | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
at the centre with a combination of sumptuous football and superior | :14:21. | :14:31. | |
:14:31. | :14:31. | ||
finishing, to have been zeroed by half-time. A landmark match for | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :14:42. | ||
City. 5-12 Manchester City. -- 5-2. To the World Athletics | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Championships, where there was a major shock in South Korea. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
The world's fastest man over 100 metres, Usain Bolt of Jamaica, | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
failed to win. Not because he was beaten, but because he false- | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
started. And that gave his compatriot Yohan Blake to chance to | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
take the gold. Our sports editor David Bond reports from Daegu. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
A long-distance view of the shortest but most eagerly | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
anticipated race in the world. A lot of these fans might be new to | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
athletics. Even they knew Usain Bolt was a sure thing for the 100 | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
metres. COMMENTATOR: Usain Bolt. Usain Bolt seemed to things as well, | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
dismissing his rival's chances on the start-line. Then, this happened. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
COMMENTATOR: Of a false start, Usain Bolt. His bid to retain his | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
world title was over before it had begun. For the fastest man on the | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
planet, the shock of being brought down to Earth was almost too much. | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
His misfortune allowed his training partner Yohan Blake to become the | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
youngest world 100 metres champion in history. But the circumstances | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
of his victory will open a fierce debate about the sport's new one | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
false start rule. He even if you are a champion, there is no | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
favouritism. As much as we would all have loved to see bart macro | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
run 9.6 or break the world record again, there are certain rules set | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
inside that barometer. Once again, it is Usain Bolt who has grabbed | :16:18. | :16:23. |
