viewing for others as Hamilton runs Good evening. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Syria's President Assad has warned of an "earthquake" if the West | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
intervenes in his country. At least 50 people are reported to have died | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
in the latest anti-Government clashes. The BBC can't report | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
freely from Syria - Jim Muir has the latest from neighbouring | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Lebanon. Syria's third biggest city, Homs, with a population of a | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
million - now one of the main battlegrounds between the rejeum | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
and its opponents. Months ago President Assad promised Ban Ki- | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Moon he'd pull his military out of the towns and cities. That clearly | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
hasn't happened. Internet footage like this is | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
impossible to verify, but it would be hard to fake. Mr Assad has also | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
said his forces are now fighting only armed terrorists, but here at | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
a mosque in Homs they're shown attacking apparently peaceful | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
protesters. One man is wounded. Others risk | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
their lives to sair save him and carry him away. Activists say | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
scenes like this happen daily, leaving scores injured, many dead. | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
The bloodshed is prompting pressure on the government. That's why | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:40. | ||
President Assad is warning loudly any such state would risk creating | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
another Afghanistan. Sear -- it could lead to an earthquake. If | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
that happens in the Middle East, it will affect the situation in the | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
world. Syria largely occupied Lebanon for | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
nearly three decades until 2005. It still wields huge influence here, a | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
deeply divided issue for the already deeply divided Lebanese. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Everybody in Syria is watching the conflict closely. They don't know | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
how it will end up but do know it will affect them greatly. Syria has | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
extended its alliances into Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Iran and beyond, | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
and in that sense, it could create a lot of havoc. The Foreign Office | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
repeated today that Mr Assad has lost the support of his people and | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
should stand down, but he insists the public back him, and the regime | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
stages mass support like this every day. External intervention, as in | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
Libya, could seal President asad's fate, and he knows it. | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen is here with me now. We have heard | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
President Assad's warning, don't intervene militarily. Is there a | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
likelihood of that? Not at the moment, not without the Arab league | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
and a rock-solid UN resolution. They can't even get a sanctions | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
resolution through the UN. No, I don't think it's going to happen | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
testimony thing to remember is Syria isn't Libya. Libya is | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
isolated. There are many fault lines, military ones, sectarian | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
ones that go through the Middle East and practically all of them | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
run through or are very close to Damascus. While President Assad | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
says there might be an earthquake if the West intervenes, I think | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
there might be one anyway if the regime continues to do what it's | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
doing. Ever everybody is worried about Syria. Poettially it has a | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
huge impact. No military pressure then. What can be done? The Arab | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
league not exactly giving an ultimatum but a deadline calling on | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
steps to stop the bloodshed. The Chinese as well have said this | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
crackdown cannot continue. And the Chinese have been quite supportive | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
of Assad. The Qatar Foreign Minister involved in this | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
delegation saying the regime is at risk of a massive storm. One thing | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
talked about is some sort of safe area if things continue to | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
deteriorate for rebels. The Turks are at the moment giving some kind | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
of ainsist or at least some protection to people - Syrian | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
rebels in their particular country. The view of the US and the UK in | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
this is if Assad continues with what he's doing, his regime will go | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
:05:59. | :06:00. | ||
down. What we're seeing at the moment is increasing isolation. | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Two Britons were among the 17 people killed in Kabul yesterday in | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
a car bomb attack. The men, who haven't been named, were | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
electricians working for an American building company. They | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
were travelling with US troops in an armoured bus when it was hit by | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
a Taliban suicide bomber. The men's families have been informed. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Qantas jets could be in the air again as early as tomorrow, after | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
an Australian court intervened to end the bitter industrial dispute, | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
that's affected seventy thousand passengers around the world. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Yesterday the airline decided to ground its entire fleet of planes | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
after a series of strikes by staff over job security. Tonight, Qantas | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
said it wanted to apologise to its customers for the disruption. From | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
:06:44. | :06:44. | ||
Australia, Duncan Kennedy reports. All day all around the world Qantas | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
jets turned airports into parking lots. There wasn't a single flight | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
as every one of the 108 aircraft in the fleet remained grounded. That | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
meant confusion and frustration for thousands of passengers. It's | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
ridiculous because I've checked in this morning, and there's been no | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
news. I have had no message from Qantas or anything. You plan it for | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
eight months, and then this happens. You just have to make the best. If | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
we have to sit in an aimt, then that's what we have to do. You have | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
nothing to do with the strike action, and this is the response | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
you get. Now we're standing in the queue. We don't know if we'll get | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
to the front. It was in the middle of the night in Melbourne when a | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
panel of judges made their decision. They ordered Qantas unions to end | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
their strike action. It had been the union's series of stoppages | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
which led Qantas to ground all its aircraft. It's unfortunate that | :07:40. | :07:50. | |
:07:50. | :07:50. | ||
it's taken the intervention of the Federal Government to force Qantas | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
to negotiate about those issues around security and to end the | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
lockout. The move was welcomed by the Government, who put pressure on | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
both sides to settle the dispout. We're very conscious there are tens | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
of thousands of travellers that have been stranded in Australia and | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
across the world. We're conscious of the fact that there are people | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
who can't get back to work or back to their families. We're conscious | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
the Australian economy has been at risk of great danger. This needed | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
to come to a halt. Qantas said it would be lunch time, UK time | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
tomorrow, before it can begin to restart flights. The dispute over | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
its plans to move operations to Asia has cost it �20 million. This | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
unprecedented action to ground an entire airline lasted 36 hours, but | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
repairing their reputation will take a lot longer. In the end the | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
company got what it wanted, but it has been a public relations | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
disaster. The Bishop of London came face to | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
face with some of the anti- capitalist demonstrators camped | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
outside St Paul's Cathedral today, and was forced to defend the | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
church's support for legal action to clear the area. Richard Charters | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
said he hoped the protestors could be moved on without violent | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
resistance.The first Sunday service has been held, since St Pauls | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
reopened to the public on Friday.Our religious affairs | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
:09:26. | :09:29. | ||
correspondent Robert Pigott reports. The encounter was close up and more | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
personal than ever. The Bishop of London made the campaigns an offer | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
- end your occupation and I'll make sure your views are held in a | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
cathedral. Would you support an eviction... Would you please... | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
That is a direct question. I am not in a position to give a direct | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
answer. Do you support the eviction? Who knows - who knows - | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
who knows what is going to happen down the road. All right. So take... | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
The one thing I'm very concerned about is that this should not lead | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
to violence. Direct answer have become increasingly difficult for a | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
church which is using the law to evict protesters while insisting | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
that it shares their concerns. ain't got a clue what they're doing | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
either. One bishop said the compromise offered by St Pauls of | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
taking the debate inside the cathedral might not be acceptable | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
to some campaigners. I can understand why that doesn't play | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
very well with the protesters who feel that they're being treated as | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
children or not taken seriously when their concerns are actually | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
core gospel concerns as they see it. The campaigners say banks created | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
the cries I but the most vulnerable are being made to pay the price. St | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
Paul's says it too wants an equitable system. The cathedral | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
says it's trying to avoid violence. We want more of a guarantee this | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
isn't going to happen. Violence is talked a lot about in the abstract. | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
Means me being dragged out of the tent in the middle of the night, my | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
hair being pulled, batoned used against me. It's about real people. | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
And the people camped tonight outside St Paul's have yet to be | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
convinced that the cathedral isn't at least partly influenced by its | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
neighbours in the City of London. A new generation is questioning the | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
established order and is yet to be satisfied with the answers it's | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
getting so will this occupation cast a shadow over St Paul's? Some | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Anglicans believe we're in a moral as much as an economic crisis. They | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
say a time of rapid economic and social change presents the church | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
with a rare opportunity to make Christian values count, and they | :11:41. | :11:51. | |
:11:51. | :11:53. | ||
say that opportunity is being missed. | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
The Prime Minister has told the BBC that ships sailing under a British | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
flag will be able to carry armed guards to protect themselves from | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
pirates. The Government says it wants to do more to combat | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
lawlessness off the coast of Somalia where ships are regularly | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
hijacked and then ransomed for millions of pounds. About 200 | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
vessels could be involved but critics of the plan say armed | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
guards may put crews in greater danger. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
NATO will formally end its mission in Libya tomorrow after flying | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
thousands of missions over the last seven months. On the ground, the | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
country's interim government is deciding what to do with the few | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
surviving members of Colonel Gaddafi's inner circle. One of them, | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Mansour Dhao, was with him until the end. He's being held in a | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
detention centre in Misrata and has been speaking to our correspondent, | :12:33. | :12:43. | |
:12:43. | :12:44. | ||
Katya Adler. Tears have turned to smiles in war-torn Misrata. | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
Thousands crowded the streets for this homecoming celebration | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
welcoming fathers, sons and brothers back from the front line. | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
Close by is Misrata's internal security centre. We came to meet | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
one of lib qua's most wanted, ordering the killing and rape of | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
Gaddafi opponents. He was a trusted member of Colonel Gaddafi's inner | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
circle and was captured alongside him in Sirt. He provided a rare | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
insight into the dictator's state of mind in his last hours and days. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Gaddafi was nervous. He paced up and down writing in a notebook. We | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
knew it was over. He said, "I'm wanted by the International | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
Criminal Court. No country will accept me. I prefer to die by | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
Libyan hands." Then, he said, Colonel Gaddafi decided to go to | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
his birthplace, the nearby valley of Jadif. Was it a suicide mission | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
in the end? It was a suicide mission. We felt he wanted to die | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
in the place he was born. Colonel Gaddafi's plan was thwarted. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
His convoy was bombed by NATO, and the once feared dictator scrambled | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
into this water pipe for cover. That's where he was found and | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
captured. With him was Colonel Gaddafi's personal driver. We met | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
him wearing the same bloody shirt he was wounded in that day. Gaddafi | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
got out of the pipe. I stayed inside. I could not get out. There | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
was such a crowd of fighters. Gaddafi had no-where to go. He was | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
one man among many. And the fighters were shouting, "Gaddafi, | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
Gaddafi." But when I asked about terror and torture, the men were | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
less forthcoming. They feared for their lives. Still, he said the | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
Lockerbie bombing was planned by Gaddafi's external security and | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
that Gaddafi ordered the mass murder of political prisoners. | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
Having men like this in prison was very much part of the celebrations. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
The fighters here in Misrata and their families say they're proud, | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
proud of the role they played in ending Colonel Gaddafi's regime, of | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
bringing his body back here and capturing some of the last | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
surviving members of his inner circle, but this is a crucial | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
moment. Will people here hand over their weapons and prisoners and | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
power to the National Transitional Council? Or will regional rivalries | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
take over before the problems of the past are solved? | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
The British National Party has been holding its annual conference in | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Liverpool. The leader Nick Griffin - who was narrowly re-elected in | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
July - told members that the party would continue to campaign on | :15:35. | :15:45. | |

States has left more than three million homes and businesses | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
without power. The early snowfall - across the north-east of the | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
country - grounded planes and caused havoc on roads. Many trees | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
were brought down by the weight of snow on branches that hadn't yet | :16:06. | :16:16. | |

Champion Sebastien Vettel took the chequered flag at the first ever | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Grand Prix in India to notch up his eleventh win of the season. Jenson | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Button finished second - with Lewis Hamilton coming in seventh after | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
another controversial incident with Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, as | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
Nick Parrott reports. While many had been looking forward to the | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
first Indian Grand Prix, those at the sharp end felt a duty to look | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
back. Main's silence before the race for the recent loss of IndyCar | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
Welden and Semoncelli. Sebastian Vettel started from pole, and as | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
usual raced off into the distance, leaving others to fight amongst | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
themselves. Jenson Button started fourth after struggling in | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
qualifying but was soon into second. Mark Webber fought hard to regain | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
his place but positioned himself perfectly to stay ahead. While they | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
kept their fight clean, Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa clashed | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
for the sixth time this season. Like Mr Bean, they never seem to | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
learn. The stewards decided the Brazilian was to blame. It's a feud | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
that looks unlikely to be resolved any time soon. We had the one | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
minute's silence before the race. Me and Felipe Massa were standing | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
next to each other. He hasn't spoken to me for a long, long time. | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
I put my arm around him and said good luck. I tried to overtake | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
because it didn't look like he was going to give me any space, but we | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
collided. I feel sorry for my time. Vettel steered clear for his 11th | :17:52. | :17:58. |
