More evidence emerges of atrocities in Libya, as the remains of dozens | :00:03. | :00:09. | |
of charred bodies are uncovered on the outskirts of Tripoli. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
We cannot show you the kind of pictures that would convey the | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
horror of what happened in here. It is very hard to even imagine the | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
terror in the last few moments for the men who were trapped inside. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Hurricane Irene claims more lives as it sweeps up America's East | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Coast, but New York escapes the worst. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
The race is on to get the first free schools ready in time for the | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
new term. And, Usain "bolts" too soon at the | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
World Athletics Championships, putting himself out of the medal | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
:00:55. | :01:07. | ||
Good evening. In Libya, there's more evidence of | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
atrocities carried out in the final days of Colonel Gaddafi's regime. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Human Rights Watch says it has uncovered dozens of arbitrary | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
executions of civilians. And, just outside Tripoli, the BBC has filmed | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
the aftermath of an apparent massacre in a military base, with | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
testimony from men who escaped, forced to leave relatives behind. I | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
should warn you Orla Guerin's report contains some graphic and | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
distressing images. In the shadow of the eagle, dark | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
secrets are coming to light. This was the headquarters of the Khamis | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
Brigade, a much feared army unit run by Colonel Gaddafi's son. In a | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
compound just behind it, we found victims of execution, killed on | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
Tuesday, in the dying days of the regime. This man's feet were still | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
:02:10. | :02:12. | ||
bound. But there was worse to come. Inside this smouldering warehouse, | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
the charred remains of dozens of bodies. We cannot show you the kind | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
of pictures that would convey the horror of what happened in here. It | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
is very hard to even imagine the terror in the last few moments for | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
the men who were trapped inside. What we can say for certain is that | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
:02:46. | :02:50. | ||
they were shown absolutely no mercy. This man was one of them. He | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:02. | ||
managed to flee the warehouse, but without his three sons. He says up | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
to 150 civilians were packed in here, guarded by troops and | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
mercenaries. They promised them water at sunset. But they came with | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
:03:21. | :03:26. | ||
guns instead. They started shooting like this, he said. Then, they | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
threw in hand grenades, three of them. They stopped and came back | :03:30. | :03:40. | |
:03:40. | :03:45. | ||
and started again. The sight and smell were too much for some. For | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
:03:55. | :03:55. | ||
others, the grief was overwhelming. One we do not know how many were | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
killed here, locals had removed some bodies for burial. Husbands | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
and fathers and sons had gone down here, men who never lived to see a | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
:04:15. | :04:17. | ||
free Libya. It's a week since rebel opposition | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
forces entered Tripoli. Fighting there is largely over, with the | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
head of the National Transitional Council saying food is more of a | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
concern than security, although some aid is getting through. We can | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
speak to our world affairs editor John Simpson in Tripoli. What's | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
your assessment of what the opposition forces have achieved in | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
:04:43. | :04:48. | ||
their first week? They have achieved much more than | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
they thought they were going to in a short space of time. That has | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
been the problem really, they took over the city are relatively | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
quickly. Three days before they could say they had it. And that was | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
really too quick for themselves, the soldiers, and I think for the | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
government to be in Benghazi which wasn't expecting it would be quite | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
this quick. That has led to problems. It has led to a complete | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
absence of any kind of control on the streets, although the soldiers | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
themselves have actually behaved rather well, and have kept a | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
certain order simply by being there. But not a single policeman in | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
uniform to be seen. Not a single civil servant to be seen. No state | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
television. Even now. So you can see that all of these things are | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
simply creating a kind of absence of control which, given the real | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
disaster in terms of water supply and electricity supply, lack of | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
both of them, will cause serious problems here, unless something can | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
be done about it quickly. Then, the question will be, who will be | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
blamed? Will people say Colonel Gaddafi is responsible for a tour? | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Or will they say these people are not doing it well. Hurricane Irene | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
has caused widespread damage along America's East Coast, so far | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
claiming at least 18 lives, and causing billions of dollars of | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
damage. More than two million people were ordered to leave their | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
homes, and an estimated four million properties have been left | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
without power. As Irene made its way up the east coast from North | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Carolina to New Jersey, it was downgraded to a tropical storm. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
That's been fortunate for New York, where damage is not as bad as was | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
feared. Our correspondent Steve Kingstone is in New York this | :06:44. | :06:54. | |
:06:54. | :06:56. | ||
evening. As you can see, we are still | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
feeling the effects of the hurricane at several hours after | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
the storm passed through New York. Today's beer priorities have said | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
they are preparing for the worst, preparing for the best. What they | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
have got is something in between. There have been fatalities and | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
devastation. This morning, giant waves buffeted | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
the Atlantic coast, as the artillery of destruction moved | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
north. There goes the life guard Here, rescuers helped an elderly | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
resident from a home defenceless against the tidal surge. The storm | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
unloaded one feet of water. Winds of 70 mph brought down power lines, | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
leaving millions without electricity. We're not out of the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
woods yet. Hurricane Irene remains a large and potentially dangerous | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
storm. Hazards still persist in communities that have already seen | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
this storm pass. At the southern tip of Manhattan, | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
torrential rain brought flooding. Its arrival has coincided with high | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
tide which would normally stop about four feet below this harbour | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
wall. But the waters have crept up with the storm surge,, and are | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
making their way into lower Manhattan. We have the skyscrapers | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
of the financial district. Wall Street is a few blocks away. Before | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
long, some streets were partially under water as trains felt the | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
strain. Hurricane Irene has left her mark on Manhattan. It could | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
have been worse. Gradually, New Yorkers emerged to take a look. | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Some had ignored the order to abandon their homes. It is hard to | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
tell my husband what to do. Mandatory evacuation? OK, let's | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
make this a beautiful day. ignored it? Yes, we went about our | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
business. But many others further south are counting the cost in | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
dollars and in human life. When a falling tree crashed through this | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
apartment block in Virginia, an 11- year-old boy inside stood no chance. | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Officially, Hurricane Irene is now a tropical storm, but she will live | :09:18. | :09:28. | |
:09:28. | :09:29. | ||
long in the memory. Tonight, the evacuation order has been lifted, | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
the hurricane is moving towards Canada. It is no longer a hurricane | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
but a tropical storm. The President has addressed the nation saying | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
this is not over, the impact will be felt for some time, our thoughts | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
are with those people who have been affected. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
The British Army is reported to have been cleared of systematically | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
torturing civilians in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
in 2003. The Sunday Telegraph says an inquiry into the death of a | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
hotel worker, Baha Mousa, has found no evidence of widespread abuse and | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
murder. But individual soldiers will be criticised. Jon Brain | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
report does contain some distressing images. | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
A British soldier mistreating detainees in Basra in 2003. The | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Army has maintained this was a regrettable but rare case of abuse. | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
His critics claim such behaviour was widespread. One of the Rockies | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
was Baha Mousa. The receptionist was in custody for less than 48 | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
hours. In that time, the hotel receptionist suffered 90 separate | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
injuries before dying of asphyxiation. For the Telegraph | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
claims the inquest report will highlight failures of command but | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
will clear the Army of systematic abuse. The issue is there is an | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
abuse of human rights committed by the Army within the knowledge of | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
the Army within the system. This cannot continue. That is why there | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
is disappointment. Supporters of the Army claimed the vast majority | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
of British troops in Iraq conducted themselves with professionalism and | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
decency. This is a leaked report, it is not official. The Army has | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
taken extensive action to try to mitigate against such a thing ever | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
happening again. You cannot stop it entirely. The Ministry of Defence | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
will not comment until the report is published but it does described | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
the treatment of Baha Mousa as a shameful and unexcusable. Officials | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
insist lessons have been learned and they say the recommendations | :11:42. | :11:52. | |
:11:52. | :11:53. | ||
will be studied carefully. A 28- year old man has been charged with | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm, following an incident | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
in which two police were injured during the riots in London earlier | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
this month. The pair were run over while they were chasing looters in | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Waltham Forest in east London. A 31-year-old man has already been | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
arrested and bailed in connection with the case. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Europe's largest street party, the Notting Hill Carnival, got underway | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
in west London today, with the traditional children's parade. | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
Extra police are on duty this year in an effort to prevent trouble, | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
following the riots of three weeks ago. By early this evening, there | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
had been 33 arrests, mainly for minor offences. But police said the | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
day had been largely calm and trouble free. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
And It's been confirmed that a total of 24 so-called "free' | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
schools", set up by parents, faith groups and others, will open in | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
England for the start of the new school year. The government says | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
the state-funded schools, which are outside local authority control, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
will drive up standards. Critics, including teachers' unions, fear | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
they will take pupils and resources away from other schools. Ed Thomas | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
reports. This has been a middle school and | :12:58. | :13:07. | |
college, but now it will be a free school. 29 children will be here. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
Not only will it be Bradford's latest primary but, like all free | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
schools, it will be independent of local authority control. We are in | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
the centre of inner city Bradford. For the past 25 years, the state | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
education system has failed us. We will definitely reform that and | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
bring about positive change for the children of this area. Rainbow | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
Primary won't be alone, there will be a second free school, both in | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
inner city Bradford. What is happening in Bradford is exactly | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
what the government wants. Parents and communities taking charge of | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
their children's education in some of the most deprived areas, to | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
raise standards. Not every community is getting a free school. | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
There are only five in the north of England, a handful in the Midlands. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
Half of the 24 free schools will be in the south. The largest number in | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
London. Some believe they are divisive and unnecessary. As any | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
child starts a new school, one would want them to have the best | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
opportunities they can. It is our view those are provided by the | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
existing state comprehensive schools, and we can see that from | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
the fact results have improved in these schools at GCSE and A-level | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
year on year. In a few weeks, free schools will open their doors to | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
children. The change is a worry to some. The government believes it is | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
time to trust parents to get it right. Now with news of a major | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
shock at the World Athletics Championships, and the rest of the | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
day's sport, here's Francis Collings. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
To the World Athletics Championships, where there was a | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
major shock in South Korea. The world's fastest man over 100 metres, | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
Usain Bolt of Jamaica, failed to win. Not because he was beaten, but | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
because he false-started. That gave his compatriot, Yohan Blake, the | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
chance to take the gold. Our sports editor David Bond reports from | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
Daegu. A long-distance view of the | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
shortest but most eagerly anticipated race in the world. A | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
lot of these fans might be new to athletics. Even they knew Usain | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
Bolt was a sure thing for the 100 metres. COMMENTATOR: Usain Bolt. | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
Usain Bolt seemed to think so as well, dismissing his rivals' | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
chances on the start-line. Then, this happened. | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
COMMENTATOR: a false start, Usain Bolt. | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
His bid to retain his world title was over before it had begun. For | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
the fastest man on the planet, the shock of being brought down to | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
Earth was almost too much. His misfortune allowed his training | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
partner Yohan Blake to become the youngest world 100 metres champion | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
in history. But the circumstances of his victory will open a fierce | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
debate about the sport's new one false start rule. Even if you are a | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
champion, there is no favouritism. As much as we would all have loved | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
to see Bolt run 9.6 or break the world record again, there are | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
certain rules set inside that parameter. Once again, it is Usain | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
Bolt who has grabbed the attention. The worry for a sport so reliant on | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
one man is, tonight, he has shown legends can make mistakes. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
There was success for Great Britain in Daegu, as Mo Farah took the | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
silver medal with a brave run in the 10,000 metres. Farah kept pace | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
with the leading pack throughout the race, and kicked for home with | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
600 metres to go. But gold eluded him, as he was overtaken by | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Ethiopia's Ibrahim Jeilan just metres from the line. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
Match of the Day 2 is on after the news, so cover your ears and look | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
away now if you don't want to know any results. It's fair to say the | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
goals have been raining, in United's eight goals against | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Arsenal, taking them above City to the top of the table. A hat-trick | :17:05. | :17:14. | |
A terrific afternoon too for Manchester City, and their striker | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
Edin Dzeko who scored four in the 5- 1 win over Spurs at White Hart | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
Lane. Elsewhere, Newcastle United | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
defeated Fulham 2-1. Stoke had an away win over West | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
Bromwich Albion, Ryan Shotton with a late winner. | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
In the Scottish Premier League: Hearts won the Edinburgh derby at | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Tynecastle. Rangers are back on top of the SPL, after beating Aberdeen. | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Goals from Steve Davis and Steven Naismith goals edged them ahead of | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
Motherwell on goal difference. And third place Celtic won 2-0 at St | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
Mirren. At the Belgian Grand Prix, there | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
was another win for world champion Sebastian Vettel, followed home by | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber and McLaren's Jensen Button. Last | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
year's winner at Spa, Lewis Hamilton, crashed out on the 13th | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
lap. But who can stop Sebastian Vettel retaining his world title? | :17:56. | :18:06. | |
:18:06. | :18:08. |
