Good afternoon. Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
is to repeat the call for the tax on the wethy when he rallies | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
activist on the day of the party conference, but he will point out | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
that the Lib Dems are outnumbered in the coalition Cabinet and to | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
have the action reduced, they will have to win the argument. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Nick Clegg has had rather a Rowling ride on the journey to Brighton | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
since forming the coalition, the party is trailing in the polls and | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
his answer ratings are far from positive. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
It is an important conference at a crucial time it is a tough time | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
economically for the country. It has been a challenge eing time for | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
the Liberal Democrats politically, but I don't want anyone to be under | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
doubt that the Liberal Democrats, they will hold their nerve, they | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
will see this through. The party leader is having trouble | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
getting his message across to the electorate. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
When Nick Clegg speaks from the stage here in Brighton, he will not | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
just win back the trust of voters, but he will try to re-build trust | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
with his party members. Reminding them of what he achieved in | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
Government, also pointing out where he has differences with the | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
coalition partners. Amongst the coalition achievements | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
he is to focus on pupil premium. A Lib Dem scheme to make cash | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
available to help disadvantaged schoolchildren. | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
And how they helped reform the banks, but he will try to make | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
clear how they are different from the Tories, to put a levy on | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
homeowners of expensive homes. Nick Clegg know it is will take time to | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
turn around the political fortunes. He made a start by apologising for | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
the prej on tuition fees, but even that was lampooned on the internet. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
# I'm sorry... # He will have to hope that the new policy | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
announcements are taken more seriously. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Norman Smith is in Brighton for us now. Norman, the Lib Dems are | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
struggling in the polls. There have been rumblings. Can Nick Clegg | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
start to turn things around at this conference? You are right, despite | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
the glorious weather here, it has been a fairly dismal summer for | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
them with the dire poll ratings and the flagship House of Lords reforms, | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Nick Clegg is to hope that by stressing the need for the wealth | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
taxs to pay off the deficit, he will advertise the difference also | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
between his party and the Conservatives and saying that the | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
Lib Dems are still a radical party, but the difficulty is that they are | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
not going to get specific tax proposals. Added to which George | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Osbourne is opposed to this move. The danger is he is unable to | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
deliver on the tax pledge. Alexander Mitchell is resisting | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
calls to stand down after claims he swore at Downing Street police | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
officers, calling them a pleing. Labour has called for a full | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
account of his outburst. The Tory Chief Whip denies using language, | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
but has apologised. The Libyan Islamist militia group | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
has been driven from its base in the city of Benghazi. | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
The protestors stormed the headquarters of Mazar-e-Sharif. | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
This is the jubilation, fuelled by the fewer I -- fury of protestors. | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
They set vehicles an parts of a compound ablaze. Libyans are taking | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
justice into their hands. Driving out the rogue militias and the | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
brigades that they blame for lawlessness. Benghazi's streets | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
have not seen an outpouring of public anger like this since the | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
revolution that toppled Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The protestors | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
stormed the headquarters of the extreme Islamist group too. | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
:04:51. | :04:53. | ||
It was said earlier this week that the group were not going to help in | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
democracy. Four US embassy staff were killed | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
earlier in the week, including the US ambassador to Libya, Christopher | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Steven. These are difficult times for the country, emerging from a | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
uprising that ended after a 4-year dictatorship. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
-- 42-year. People from across the UK reported | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
seeing a series of bright lights streaking across the sky. The | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
spectacle was visible from the north of Scotland and as far south | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
as East Anglia. It has been said it could be | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
possible space junk burning up in the night's atmosphere. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
Lasting about a minute, a reminder that we sit on a planet in the | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
middle of a universe. Bright green lights. Travelling at | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
the speed of a military jet fighter. On a clear night, people across the | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
UK watched in wonder. It was like Innocence Of Muslims. Huge pieces. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
So is this golden ball, caught on camera, breaking up into pieces? | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
thought it was a plane. It is low in horizon. Moving lower than you | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
would expect a shooting star. Amazing. | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
This object could have started life down here on Earth. Experts say | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
that the speed of which it was travelling suggest that it was | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
debris. Burning up as it enters the atmosphere. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
It is racing in. If it is a chunk of this size, it is coming in at | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
18,000 miles an hour. There is a huge amount of energy. It crashs | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
into the atmosphere. It falls apart and leaves this spectacular trail. | :06:37. | :06:41. |
