:00:12. > :00:17.Tripoli. They invade the leader's compound,
:00:17. > :00:21.but there's no sign of Gaddafi himself. We report from the scene.

:00:33. > :00:38.As symbols of Gaddafi's regime are dismantled, the battle for Tripoli
:00:38. > :00:44.is still raging. No more blood, it's been enough
:00:44. > :00:48.blood in this country. Rebel advance is boosted by NATO air
:00:48. > :00:51.strikes, backed by Britain. It's still a difficult and dangerous
:00:51. > :00:54.situation, there are still many people out there with weapons who
:00:54. > :00:59.were paid to be loyal to the Gaddafi regime. We will have the
:00:59. > :01:02.latest from Tripoli tonight after another day of intense fighting as
:01:02. > :01:08.the rebels tighten their grip. Also: In New York sexual assault
:01:08. > :01:13.charges against the former head of the IMF have been dismissed.
:01:13. > :01:18.And the producer responsible for some of the greatest British comedy
:01:18. > :01:23.classics has died. Later on the BBC News channel I
:01:23. > :01:33.will be here with all the sport, including another Gunners' goodbye,
:01:33. > :01:47.
:01:47. > :01:50.they've agreed the sale of Nasri to Good evening. The battle for
:01:50. > :01:56.Tripoli is still raging tonight after another day of dramatic
:01:56. > :02:01.progress by rebel forces. Outright victory is within reach, but not
:02:01. > :02:04.yet secured. In the day's main developments, the rebels stormed
:02:04. > :02:08.the leader's compound in the heart of Tripoli. There was no sign of
:02:08. > :02:14.Gaddafi himself, he's gone into hiding. And the rebel campaign has
:02:14. > :02:19.been boosted by NATO air strikes. We have just received this report
:02:19. > :02:23.from Rupert Wingfield Hayes in Tripoli.
:02:23. > :02:28.Once again it was NATO that led today's assault on Colonel
:02:28. > :02:33.Gaddafi's compound. By mid- afternoon the rebels were pouring
:02:33. > :02:39.inside, their jubilation mixed with anger as they tore apart the hated
:02:39. > :02:42.symbols of Gaddafi's 42-year rule. The dictator himself and the famous
:02:42. > :02:47.sculpture of the America crushing fist. The fighting to get inside
:02:47. > :02:51.the compound had been intense. For several hours rebels swarmed around
:02:51. > :02:56.the walls, keeping up running battles with the die-hard Gaddafi
:02:56. > :03:00.supporters still inside. This evening, as we approached the
:03:00. > :03:06.destroyed compound, the debris from the fighting lay all around. Then
:03:06. > :03:09.in the air a distinctive puff of smoke, someone was still firing
:03:09. > :03:15.RPGs, even as the rebels began to depart the fighting suddenly
:03:15. > :03:19.started again. You can see it's still a chaotic
:03:19. > :03:22.situation here outside the compound several hours after it was overrun
:03:22. > :03:27.by rebels. The rebels in this street are firing guns into the air
:03:27. > :03:32.in celebration but behind me I have just seen tracer fire coming in
:03:32. > :03:35.from the right. There's definitely still fighting going on tonight.
:03:35. > :03:44.Suddenly from celebration, they were back fighting again. But the
:03:44. > :03:49.fighters are still confident this is the end. No more. Finished. New
:03:49. > :03:53.country, happiness. Less than a mile away in Green Square this
:03:53. > :03:56.evening hundreds of people began coming out again to celebrate.
:03:56. > :04:01.Colonel Gaddafi and his sons have still not been caught, their
:04:01. > :04:05.whereabouts is still a mystery and in other parts of the city fighting
:04:05. > :04:09.continues. But after one falls start on Sunday the people of
:04:09. > :04:17.Tripoli do appear to believe that tonight they are witnessing the end
:04:17. > :04:21.of 42 years of Gaddafi's dictatorship.
:04:21. > :04:25.NATO says it will continue to bomb Colonel Gaddafi's forces if they
:04:25. > :04:30.keep on fighting. A spokesman insisted that NATO hadn't been
:04:30. > :04:33.providing close air support to the rebels, but was striking at targets
:04:33. > :04:39.which appeared to threaten civilians. There are several
:04:39. > :04:42.pockets of stubborn resistance, the city is still fragmented as our
:04:42. > :04:47.diplomatic correspondent James Robbins explains.
:04:47. > :04:51.The battle for Tripoli remains intense as rebels try to push
:04:51. > :04:55.Gaddafi's forces out of the entire capital. A major symbolic prize, of
:04:55. > :05:00.course, was the capture of Colonel Gaddafi's heavily fortified
:05:00. > :05:04.compound, now achieved. To see the compound being stormed by the anti-
:05:04. > :05:07.Gaddafi forces is a very important moment. But it's not over yet. It's
:05:07. > :05:11.still a difficult and dangerous situation. There are still many
:05:11. > :05:15.people out there with weapons who were paid to be loyal to the
:05:15. > :05:18.Gaddafi regime. What is the bigger picture now of the battle for
:05:18. > :05:23.Tripoli? How much do we know about who who controls which parts of the
:05:23. > :05:26.capital? From a variety of credible sources it seems that large and
:05:26. > :05:30.expanding parts of the capital are in rebel hands, although they're
:05:30. > :05:34.not all necessarily entirely secure. These are just some of the areas
:05:34. > :05:39.where Gaddafi has lost control since last Sunday. But tonight the
:05:39. > :05:44.big breakthrough for the rebels was the storming of the compound. You
:05:44. > :05:48.can see the outer wall, breached by the rebels as they overran this key
:05:48. > :05:52.area, denying the leader one more potential hiding place. In one
:05:52. > :05:56.corner of the compound a substantial military installation,
:05:56. > :06:00.hit by NATO missiles weeks ago and at the centre of the compound the
:06:00. > :06:04.area used for scores of Gaddafi rallies over the years, where we
:06:04. > :06:09.have seen the rebels pulling down Gaddafi's statues. The symbolism of
:06:09. > :06:13.this compound is immense, so taking it has great significance. But does
:06:13. > :06:21.this mean game over for Gaddafi? Well, no. Not quite. After all, he
:06:21. > :06:25.is still at large. So is his son, Saif Al-Islam. The
:06:25. > :06:28.appearance of his intended successor last night was a
:06:28. > :06:33.propaganda coup. It destroyed claims by opposition rebels that
:06:33. > :06:37.they had captured him and boosted Gaddafi loyalists on Tripoli's
:06:37. > :06:42.streets. It damaged the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court,
:06:42. > :06:45.too. He announced Saif Al-Islam would soon be in the Hague facing
:06:45. > :06:55.charges of crimes against humanity. That could still be his fate, of
:06:55. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:02.course and his father's, too. But first they have to be caught.
:07:02. > :07:04.The grouping that hopes to take charge of Libya, the National
:07:04. > :07:07.Transitional Council, is watching events closely and says it hopes to
:07:07. > :07:10.send officials to Tripoli as early as tomorrow. Leading figures say
:07:10. > :07:13.they're keen to begin the process of establishing a new government as
:07:13. > :07:15.soon as possible. Our correspondent Paul Wood is in the rebel
:07:15. > :07:19.stronghold of Benghazi and sent this report.
:07:19. > :07:24.They are students, businessmen, teachers, most holding a gun for
:07:24. > :07:29.the first time. They rose up with no outside help and they would have
:07:29. > :07:35.been crushed but for NATO's help. Now the rebels stand on the brink
:07:35. > :07:39.of victory, already recognised by many as Libya's legitimate
:07:39. > :07:43.Government. Are they united? The rebels National Transitional
:07:43. > :07:47.Council is a mix of factions with little more in common than dislike
:07:47. > :07:51.of Colonel Gaddafi. It's an uneasy coalition, between the east and
:07:51. > :07:59.west of the country, Islamist and secular, former members of the
:07:59. > :08:02.regime, and long-standing exiles. That's going to be a pot pourri of
:08:02. > :08:07.different ideas, but if they all work within the same framework and
:08:07. > :08:12.that is a constitution, then everybody is free to have their own
:08:12. > :08:17.thoughts and say what they think. The country's next leader could be
:08:17. > :08:22.the council's head, a former justice Minister, he is seen as
:08:22. > :08:26.having integrity, but not charisma. The revolution has produced no
:08:26. > :08:31.single forceful political personality, perhaps after 42 years
:08:31. > :08:37.of Colonel Gaddafi another strong man is the last thing Libyans want.
:08:37. > :08:42.So will the rebels succeed? A new Government could quickly be
:08:42. > :08:47.destablised if there is widespread looting. The rebels will need some
:08:47. > :08:52.of those who have been fighting for the old regime. We have learned and
:08:52. > :08:57.learned experience from Benghazi where the police and the security
:08:57. > :09:02.people left their jobs and we had problem to bring them back. No, in
:09:02. > :09:09.Tripoli we will not do that. There are measured part of rebuilding the
:09:09. > :09:12.security. Here in Benghazi there is immense joy, but there is also
:09:12. > :09:16.relief. This is the birthplace of the revolution and in the early
:09:16. > :09:21.days the outcome was far from certain. There is too a recognition
:09:21. > :09:25.that the really difficult part could still be ahead. That is
:09:25. > :09:30.governing this fractured and traumatised nation. The immediate
:09:30. > :09:36.task for the rebel leadership is to stop revenge killings, that would
:09:36. > :09:43.undermine the legitimacy of any new Government. The new Libya, they say,
:09:43. > :09:46.cannot begin with a bloodbath. For a sense of the mood in central
:09:46. > :09:52.Tripoli let's look at the live images we have got, we caught a
:09:52. > :09:57.glimpse of them earlier, this is Green Square, renamed by some as
:09:57. > :10:01.Martyr Square and hundreds gathered there this evening. I will bring in
:10:01. > :10:05.our diplomatic correspondent who has been monitoring events for us.
:10:05. > :10:08.A A sense of where we are in Tripoli tonight and a look ahead
:10:08. > :10:12.for the next few days as to how that transition might take place?
:10:12. > :10:16.lot of what we have seen today is to do with morale on the rebel
:10:16. > :10:20.opposition side. Taking the compound has immense significance
:10:20. > :10:25.for them. It was their first chance really to attack Gaddafi and his
:10:25. > :10:28.symbols. We saw them doing that. They now I think believe that
:10:28. > :10:32.victory is, if not completely achieved, certainly within their
:10:32. > :10:36.grasp. I think it has that huge symbolic significance. Very
:10:36. > :10:39.interesting two signals from the rebel opposition in Benghazi, one
:10:39. > :10:45.from the leader of the National Transitional Council saying that we
:10:45. > :10:49.still have to capture the Gaddafi family to end this. But another, a
:10:49. > :10:53.strong signal from Benghazi, that they hope to move the rebel
:10:53. > :10:55.opposition headquarters to Tripoli before the end of this week. So
:10:55. > :10:59.they're determined to keep up the momentum. As we see that momentum,
:10:59. > :11:03.a thought about the role played by NATO and Britain with a close
:11:03. > :11:07.interest in this, how instrumental has that been? Hugely. It's
:11:07. > :11:10.interesting that NATO was actively involved today. We think they
:11:10. > :11:14.actually sent a message to the rebels they needed to back off from
:11:14. > :11:18.the outer perimeter of the compound so that NATO could mount strikes
:11:18. > :11:22.and get the rebels - help the rebels get into that compound. If
:11:22. > :11:27.that's true that shows just how instrumental they have been even at
:11:27. > :11:29.this late stage. They insist protecting civilians, others will
:11:29. > :11:35.suggest it's to help bring about the downfall of Colonel Gaddafi.
:11:35. > :11:41.Thank you. There's a lot more about this
:11:41. > :11:51.situation in Libya on our special live page online, bringing together
:11:51. > :11:52.
:11:52. > :11:55.the latest news. A court in New York has dismissed
:11:55. > :11:57.criminal charges of sexual assault made against the former head of the
:11:57. > :11:59.International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Evidence
:11:59. > :12:02.showed that Mr Strauss-Kahn did have a sexual encounter with the
:12:02. > :12:12.hotel chambermaid who'd accused him, but he claimed it had been
:12:12. > :12:13.
:12:13. > :12:16.consensual. Steve Kingstone reports. There was just a hint of a smile as
:12:16. > :12:22.Dominique Strauss-Kahn arrived at court for the final time as a
:12:22. > :12:26.defendant. Inside it was over in minutes. The judge granted a
:12:26. > :12:33.request by prosecuters to drop all charges.
:12:33. > :12:38.He looked composed, relieved. But not jubilant. So in the glair of an
:12:38. > :12:43.international media spotlight this highly charged case comes to an
:12:43. > :12:47.abrupt end. A man once talked about as the next President of France is
:12:47. > :12:55.free to rebuild his career and resume his life.
:12:55. > :12:57.He broke his silence outside the townhouse rented by a unwavering
:12:57. > :13:00.loyal wife. TRANSLATION:
:13:00. > :13:04.I am relieved for my wife, children and friends, all those who
:13:04. > :13:12.supported me by sending letters and e-mails, I want to return to my
:13:12. > :13:16.country but I have to take care of His accuser was not in court.
:13:16. > :13:20.Forensic evidence showed they did share a brief sexual encounter, but
:13:20. > :13:25.there was no proof that it had been forced. Prosecutors decided a jury
:13:25. > :13:31.would not believe the claim of sexual assault because she had lied
:13:31. > :13:36.repeatedly to investigators. DSK, you must pay! Outside court,
:13:36. > :13:42.protesters called it justice denied. She should have her day in court to
:13:42. > :13:47.testify as to what happened to her. It is constantly happening to black
:13:47. > :13:52.women throughout history in this country. So what now for a man
:13:52. > :13:57.whose journey from statesmen to suspect was as compelling as it was
:13:57. > :14:01.shocking? In Paris today, they watched, wondering whether DSK
:14:01. > :14:06.might just return to frontline politics. I went vote for him,
:14:06. > :14:11.despite the fact that I think he is the best one to run the country.
:14:11. > :14:17.is too late for him to be a candidate for the presidentials,
:14:17. > :14:23.but if he was a candidate, I would definitely vote for him. Back in
:14:23. > :14:26.Manhattan tonight, a second judge has rejected an appeal by the
:14:26. > :14:35.maid's legal team. What Dominique Strauss-Kahn called a nightmare is
:14:35. > :14:38.An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 has struck the east coast of
:14:38. > :14:42.the United States. The epicentre was less than 90 miles from
:14:42. > :14:46.Washington. The Pentagon and the White House were evacuated, but it
:14:46. > :14:50.was also felt hundreds of miles away in New York. The quake caused
:14:50. > :14:54.some damage, but there are no reports of injuries.
:14:54. > :14:56.An online petition demanding the release of all government documents
:14:56. > :15:01.relating to the Hillsborough football disaster has attracted
:15:01. > :15:05.more than 100,000 signatures. It follows a ruling by the Information
:15:05. > :15:09.Commissioner that the paper should be made public, but ministers want
:15:09. > :15:12.an independent panel to decide what should be released. The files are
:15:12. > :15:15.thought to include report presented to Margaret Thatcher about the
:15:15. > :15:23.tragedy in which 96 people lost their lives.
:15:23. > :15:27.Liverpool has mourned the dead of Hillsborough collectively, as a

:15:40. > :15:44.mark the 20th anniversary in 2009. -- is gathering. The strength of
:15:44. > :15:48.feeling is undiminished by the passage of time. Anna Williams has
:15:48. > :15:51.campaigned for two decades for the release of information. Her son
:15:51. > :15:56.Kevin was 15 when he died at Hillsborough. His mother rejects
:15:56. > :16:00.the verdict of the original inquest, accidental death, because she says
:16:00. > :16:05.vital evidence was never made available. If the jury had heard
:16:05. > :16:09.how the police had sent via our engines away at 3:30pm and cordon
:16:09. > :16:14.off the ambulances, never implemented the major disaster plan,
:16:14. > :16:19.the jury never heard this, so it secured an accidental death verdict.
:16:19. > :16:23.And I think most of the people that saw Hillsborough unfold know that
:16:23. > :16:27.Hillsborough was not an accident. 96 people were crushed to death at
:16:27. > :16:30.Hillsborough. The then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was
:16:30. > :16:35.briefed on the policing of the event. Campaigners want those
:16:35. > :16:38.briefing papers and Cabinet documents made public immediately.
:16:38. > :16:42.The Government says an independent panel will release thousands of
:16:42. > :16:47.documents in 2012. There is a plan to release those documents, but not
:16:47. > :16:49.until next year and in a carefully co-ordinated way, but it is 22
:16:49. > :16:52.years now and the longer the government hold on to that
:16:52. > :16:56.information, the deeper the suspicion becomes here, rightly or
:16:56. > :17:00.wrongly, that there must be something to hide. It is also
:17:00. > :17:03.another illustration of the democratising power of the internet
:17:03. > :17:07.and the social networking sites. They are putting a new kind of
:17:07. > :17:11.power into the hands of people on streets like there's. They are
:17:11. > :17:15.changing the way we do things. The Hillsborough Justice campaign
:17:15. > :17:20.backed the online petition only last Wednesday when it had just 200
:17:20. > :17:26.signatures. Four days later, it had 100,000. The Week cannot see any
:17:26. > :17:31.harm that can come from a piece of the truth being made available. --
:17:31. > :17:35.we cannot see. The Government does not want to release pieces of
:17:35. > :17:40.information until it can release everything and in context, but the
:17:40. > :17:49.people of Liverpool, in their anguish to know, might yet force
:17:49. > :17:54.So far, more than 1,400 people have appeared before the court charged
:17:54. > :17:57.in connection with the riots and looting earlier this month, and 157
:17:57. > :18:00.have been convicted, according to the latest figures from the
:18:00. > :18:06.Ministry of Justice. More details have now emerged about the police
:18:06. > :18:10.strategy in London about holding in custody most of the people charge.
:18:10. > :18:14.Home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds has the story. The looters
:18:14. > :18:17.even appeared to be stealing from each other. What is clear is that
:18:17. > :18:21.large numbers of people are involved, but police are catching
:18:21. > :18:28.up with them. The result, the justice system is still dealing
:18:28. > :18:33.with hundreds of cases, 1406 people have appeared in court so far, 157
:18:33. > :18:39.have been convicted, but the majority of the rest, 62%, have
:18:39. > :18:44.been remanded in custody, for more than the usual rate of 10%. So why
:18:44. > :18:48.is that? Well, as the clean-up continues, a Metropolitan Police
:18:48. > :18:52.document has emerged that shows the force at a strategy of asking the
:18:52. > :18:57.court not to release those charged with riot related offences on bail.
:18:57. > :19:03.The idea was to give the police more time to investigate while
:19:03. > :19:07.ensuring there was not more unrest. Some lawyers representing those
:19:07. > :19:12.arrested believe this was a blanket lock them up strategy. According to
:19:12. > :19:16.this policy, every single person is kept in custody, and that concerns
:19:16. > :19:20.us, because the custody sergeant's discretion is essential, and they
:19:20. > :19:24.should be a presumption of bail. People should be released unless
:19:25. > :19:27.there are circumstances which mean they should be kept in custody.
:19:27. > :19:32.the Metropolitan Police say more than 600 the Baja been released on
:19:32. > :19:36.bail because of lack of clear evidence, and it is a decision for
:19:36. > :19:40.the course, not the police. -- more than 600 people have been released.
:19:40. > :19:44.It is taking time to identify offenders, so police are pressing
:19:44. > :19:48.charges as soon as they have enough, but possibly not for the evidence,
:19:48. > :19:52.a tactically generally used for major crimes such as terrorism. The
:19:52. > :19:56.Met is now warning that this weekend's Notting Hill Carnival,
:19:56. > :20:00.Europe's largest, may provide an excuse for more trouble. We have
:20:00. > :20:03.seen some chat on social networking sites, as well as other
:20:03. > :20:08.intelligence Streams, to say that some people do want to come to the
:20:08. > :20:10.event to create trouble, and that some people see the event as an
:20:10. > :20:14.opportunity to event elsewhere in London while the police are

:24:06. > :24:09.latest from Libya tonight, and we have just made contact with Rupert
:24:09. > :24:14.Wingfield-Hayes, Our correspondent in Tripoli, and Paul Wood is in the
:24:14. > :24:22.rebel stronghold of Benghazi. Rupert, your sense of how things
:24:22. > :24:25.stand tonight. Well, Huw, they are obviously still looking for the
:24:25. > :24:29.Gaddafi family in Tripoli tonight. They do not know way they are
:24:29. > :24:33.hiding out, whether they may still be here in a bunker, hiding
:24:33. > :24:39.somewhere in the city or maybe they have fled to somewhere else in
:24:39. > :24:43.Libya. Regardless of that, there is a real sense here tonight that 42
:24:43. > :24:47.years of Colonel Gaddafi's rule here has come to an end, regardless
:24:47. > :24:53.of where he is and regardless of how his supporters may continue to
:24:53. > :24:57.resist. Tonight, it really is over for the Gaddafi regime. With that

:25:02. > :25:06.transition? Well, there is a lot of celebration tonight, people are
:25:06. > :25:11.sounding car horns and there is gunfire as well, but there is
:25:11. > :25:14.serious political work to be done, and in the morning the National
:25:14. > :25:22.Transitional Council will fly a mission to Tripoli. In fact, they
:25:22. > :25:25.are going to go into the mountains and drive into the capital.
:25:25. > :25:28.Symbolically, it is important for them not to be seen as a faction
:25:28. > :25:32.from Benghazi. They want to rule the whole country and bring
:25:32. > :25:36.political direction to the myriad militia groups. They do not really
:25:36. > :25:40.have a national army, and as I was saying earlier, they do not want to
:25:40. > :25:44.see the streets running red with blood. In fact, the leader of the
:25:44. > :25:47.National Council here, Mustafa Jalil, feels so strongly about that
:25:47. > :25:51.that he has threatened to resign. They are worried about a power
:25:51. > :25:57.vacuum, worried about looting and internecine conflict and general
:25:57. > :26:04.disorder. RTZ, the next few days, the road ahead may not be strewn
