:00:10. > :00:15.Tonight at Ten: Libyans are offered �1million reward to help find
:00:15. > :00:19.Colonel Gaddafi. As the fighting flares again, around Colonel
:00:19. > :00:23.Gaddafi's compound, we report on the rebels' struggle for control.
:00:23. > :00:26.The rebels were driven back out of the centre of the compound this
:00:26. > :00:33.morning, back to the outer wall. They've just stormed back in.
:00:33. > :00:38.They're now firing rockets. Another defiant message from the leader but
:00:38. > :00:42.his whereabouts are still a mystery. And there's joy for dozens of
:00:42. > :00:46.foreign journalists now free after days of captivity in Tripoli. We
:00:46. > :00:51.will have the latest from our team in Tripoli and in the rebel
:00:51. > :00:54.stronghold of Benghazi. Also tonight: This 16-year-old is the
:00:54. > :00:58.first minor whose identity is revealed by the courts after the
:00:58. > :01:01.rioting. A policeman used excessive force
:01:01. > :01:07.when he dragged a disabled man during the student protests in
:01:07. > :01:13.London. And was this the save that kept
:01:13. > :01:18.Arsenal in the Champions League tonight?
:01:18. > :01:21.Nasri has completed his move from Arsenal and in Sportsday we will
:01:21. > :01:31.hear from Manchester City's new signing who has fired a parting
:01:31. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:51.Good evening. The hunt is on for Colonel Gaddafi, boosted by a
:01:51. > :01:54.reward of �1 million, and an amnesty to any member of his inner
:01:54. > :01:59.circle who captures or kills him. The Libyan foreign Minister
:01:59. > :02:03.declared today that despite the continued fighting in some parts,
:02:03. > :02:08.Gaddafi's rule was, he said, clearly over. There were more
:02:08. > :02:11.running battles today in central Tripoli, mainly focused on
:02:11. > :02:16.Gaddafi's former compound. For the latest we can join our world
:02:16. > :02:23.affairs editor John Simpson in the Libyan capital tonight.
:02:23. > :02:30.Well, the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi began on 17th February and
:02:30. > :02:34.six difficult painful months later it ended here today as far as the
:02:34. > :02:42.rebels were concerned, with their victory here on the 24th August,
:02:42. > :02:48.which they're now regarding as their victory day.
:02:48. > :02:52.The heart of Tripoli, Green Square, which has been given its old pre-
:02:52. > :02:58.Gaddafi name back. The crowds are celebrating the victory of the
:02:58. > :03:02.revolution. It's not been quick or easy, it's taken six months and one
:03:02. > :03:07.week. It's not even complete, Colonel Gaddafi may have been
:03:07. > :03:16.overthrown, but he is still not been caught. Still none of that
:03:16. > :03:20.affected the atmosphere of pure delight.
:03:20. > :03:27.It's wasteful, it's dangerous, but it's the one way these people know
:03:27. > :03:33.of expressing their feelings after 41 years of repression, they know
:03:33. > :03:38.they're free. It was relief as much as anger.
:03:38. > :03:42.Until just the other day anyone caught doing this to the brother
:03:42. > :03:49.leader's picture could expect a death sentence. I will do all I can
:03:49. > :03:59.to find him, to to catch him, to judge him, to put him in a cage.
:03:59. > :04:00.
:04:00. > :04:05.Ordinary people are suddenly finding that the old parapherali a
:04:05. > :04:08.of snooping has been swept away. the phone we could mention Gaddafi,
:04:08. > :04:18.I think that was the first time we could talk. Other than that we have
:04:18. > :04:18.
:04:18. > :04:24.been talking before and in signs kind of like and not that directly.
:04:24. > :04:27.But Colonel Gaddafi, overthrown or not, remains a master of PR. A
:04:27. > :04:32.television station, not state TV, popped up out of the blue to
:04:32. > :04:39.broadcast his praises. The Colonel himself had even recorded a message
:04:39. > :04:44.for it. TRANSLATION: I walked through Tripoli, nobody
:04:44. > :04:48.recognised me. I saw youths ready to defend their city. They didn't
:04:48. > :04:53.feel the city is in danger, just a bit of riots that can be brought
:04:53. > :05:01.under control. Well, wherever he walked it can't have been Tripoli
:05:01. > :05:07.today. There was a real wildness in the
:05:07. > :05:13.air here, the thought of the new freedom. There are still pockets of
:05:13. > :05:17.resistance around the city, but they're slowly being dealt with one
:05:17. > :05:21.by one and, of course, it's come at a cost, though the overall casualty
:05:21. > :05:26.figures for six months of fighting here haven't been particularly
:05:26. > :05:32.large. Colonel Gaddafi has had a long time to plan out his escape,
:05:32. > :05:38.and, as with Saddam Hussein in 2003, it may take time to catch him. The
:05:38. > :05:43.revolution won't be complete until that happens.
:05:43. > :05:47.Tripoli only fell after the most intense fighting today. But Rupert
:05:47. > :05:52.Wingfield Hayes has been in The Thick of It all along and he and
:05:52. > :06:00.his team were caught in some very heavy fighting indeed around
:06:00. > :06:07.Gaddafi's area of operations. As we entered Gaddafi's compound
:06:07. > :06:16.it's obvious there is still fighting going on. Yesterday's
:06:16. > :06:22.liberation has not cleared all the die-hard loyalists out. And this is
:06:22. > :06:25.about to get a lot more intense. The rebels were driven back out of
:06:25. > :06:30.the centre of the compound here this morning, back out to the outer
:06:30. > :06:37.wall. They've just stormed back in. They're now firing rockets into the
:06:37. > :06:47.middle of the compound. You can hear one going in now.
:06:47. > :06:56.
:06:56. > :07:00.(Gunfire) Get inside! Stay, stay!
:07:00. > :07:05.Once again the assumption that the fighting is over is premature.
:07:05. > :07:12.Gaddafi's compound is a fortress with blast walls, tunnels and
:07:12. > :07:16.bunkers. This man believes Gaddafi is hiding underground. Do you think
:07:17. > :07:26.he is still somewhere in here? you ask me about what I think, I
:07:26. > :07:32.think Gaddafi is here. There's a lot of tunnels and stuff like it's
:07:32. > :07:37.impossible. He built it for this day, to stay running away from
:07:37. > :07:43.people, you know. But until Gaddafi is found, some here still won't
:07:43. > :07:49.dare to believe his dictatorship is really over. When will you feel
:07:49. > :07:56.free? When I feel free I see the blood of Gaddafi on the ground.
:07:56. > :08:00.Then I am free and I can say I am a man. The young rebels believe they
:08:00. > :08:04.have already won. But Gaddafi's supporters still have the ability
:08:04. > :08:13.to create chaos here and that's why as long as Gaddafi himself is still
:08:13. > :08:18.at large, this revolution will not be complete.
:08:18. > :08:22.Let's go back to John Simpson in Tripoli. As Rupert was saying, as
:08:22. > :08:29.you said, while Gaddafi is still at large the revolution can't be
:08:29. > :08:35.considered complete in any way. any way is probably putting it too
:08:35. > :08:40.far, I think. It is complete. It will be complete that is, it's just
:08:40. > :08:43.that there's that whole business undercutting any future Government
:08:43. > :08:47.of thinking that Gaddafi's somewhere out there. He is a clever
:08:47. > :08:51.man at PR. He is very good at popping up at the key moments. It's
:08:51. > :08:55.not necessarily true what he says, but he is good at making it look as
:08:55. > :09:02.though it's true. The fact is that I think the fighting of the past
:09:02. > :09:07.few days has shown that really his strength, the backbone of his
:09:07. > :09:12.strength has been broken. I think - I was in today in an area which was
:09:12. > :09:17.supposedly kind of a no-go area for us, it wasn't at all unsafe. I
:09:17. > :09:22.think all his supporters had fled, were keeping their heads down. It
:09:22. > :09:26.will be very hard for him to recreate any kind of support for
:09:27. > :09:31.himself on any large-scale. But it will be a nuisance and until he is
:09:31. > :09:37.caught people here will say well, you know, this isn't the final
:09:37. > :09:40.proper victory of ours. I think that's going to be the new
:09:40. > :09:46.Government's greatest problem. But you have to remember what happened
:09:46. > :09:51.to Saddam Hussein in 2003, directly he was captured it was taking like
:09:51. > :10:01.the piece off the board, he ceased to have any value whatsoever and I
:10:01. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:07.think the same will be true of Colonel Gaddafi. Thank you.
:10:07. > :10:11.Let's consider the evolving strategy, if you like, of the
:10:12. > :10:15.rebels themselves, the stronghold all along has been Benghazi. Our
:10:15. > :10:22.correspondent is there for us. Just a sense from you really of how
:10:22. > :10:28.they're playing this now, not least on the world stage. Very cautiously
:10:28. > :10:33.actually from here, after the exhill exhilaration of the last few
:10:33. > :10:37.days they've been taking it much slower here, the treugs treugs
:10:37. > :10:42.treugs has decided not to move -- National Transitional Council has
:10:42. > :10:47.decided not to move to Tripoli. They're being more cautious.
:10:47. > :10:50.They're realising there is large parts of the country in control of
:10:50. > :10:55.Gaddafi loyalists and they've also been going out internationally,
:10:55. > :10:59.they've begun to Paris -- they've gone to Paris. They've also been at
:10:59. > :11:03.a major meeting in Qatar. I think principally to raise large sums of
:11:03. > :11:07.money. They need billions of dollars so they can start
:11:07. > :11:10.satisfying the huge expectations that will meet them when they
:11:10. > :11:15.arrive in Tripoli, no doubt in a few days or a few weeks, certainly.
:11:15. > :11:20.One other thing to tell you about from here, a fascinating story of
:11:20. > :11:23.how Tripoli really came under their control at the weekend. Operation
:11:24. > :11:28.Mermaid Dawn apparently the opposition tell us this was in
:11:28. > :11:31.planning for several months in co- ordination with NATO and that on a
:11:31. > :11:35.given signal last weekend they basically activated a number of
:11:35. > :11:40.sleeper cells they had in place in Tripoli, co-ordinated that with the
:11:40. > :11:44.invasions we saw from land and sea and a key defection from Gaddafi's
:11:44. > :11:49.camp as well and that's how they finally took control of Tripoli. We
:11:49. > :11:52.may be sceptical about how well planned that was but certainly
:11:52. > :11:56.something dramatic did happen that was a game-changer and I have seen
:11:56. > :12:00.a big change in the opposition. They're much more organised, more
:12:00. > :12:05.disciplined, beginning to look like a potential new Government of Libya.
:12:05. > :12:08.Thank you. By the way, later in the programme
:12:08. > :12:12.we will be reporting on the foreign journalists including a BBC team
:12:12. > :12:16.freed today after being held in captivity in a hotel in central
:12:16. > :12:26.Tripoli, that's in a short while. There's more on the situation in
:12:26. > :12:31.
:12:31. > :12:35.Libya on our special live page Some of the day's other news now. A
:12:35. > :12:40.16-year-old boy from Droitwich is thought to be the first minor
:12:40. > :12:43.involved in the recent rye riots to have his identity revealed. Johnny
:12:43. > :12:46.Melfah pleaded guilty to encouraging theft and criminal
:12:46. > :12:49.damage at Worcester Youth Court. The decision follows a call by the
:12:50. > :12:54.Home Secretary to name young offenders as our correspondent Matt
:12:55. > :13:00.Prodger reports. Johnny Melfah, just 16, but named
:13:00. > :13:05.and shamed by a court. He pleaded guilty to posting a message on
:13:05. > :13:11.Facebook calling for a riot. After disturbances swept through
:13:11. > :13:14.England a fortnight ago police arrested and charged the teenager.
:13:14. > :13:18.Johnny Melfah's crime of inciting riots on Facebook has made him the
:13:18. > :13:22.first youth under the age of 17 to be publicly identified in
:13:22. > :13:26.connection with the riots. What makes it more unusual is that he
:13:26. > :13:30.was nowhere near riot hot spots like this in Tottenham, he was
:13:30. > :13:35.miles away in Worcester, a place untouched by the violence. There
:13:35. > :13:39.was no word from Johnny Melfah's home today. Some in the teenager's
:13:39. > :13:44.town near Worcester thought the court decision unfair. Others did
:13:44. > :13:48.not. Yeah, I am delighted. Good. Name them and shame them, that's
:13:48. > :13:53.what I say, it will hopefully deter others. Well, I mean, they do
:13:53. > :13:59.deserve some sort of punishment for doing that but it is over the top
:13:59. > :14:03.that. Only an exceptional circumstances like the murder of
:14:03. > :14:13.Jamie Bulger, can child offenders be identified. But the solicitor
:14:13. > :14:16.
:14:16. > :14:21.back then for one of the young A lot of members of the public are
:14:21. > :14:25.feeling the outrage and uproar against those involved and it is
:14:25. > :14:30.therefore now in the public's interest, and that is what the
:14:30. > :14:37.magistrate probably felt, for the defendant to be named.
:14:37. > :14:42.government recently said that child rioters should have been named and
:14:42. > :14:47.shamed but a source close to the coalition has reservations.
:14:47. > :14:50.anonymity is there for a reason and the anonymity should only be raised
:14:51. > :14:54.if there is a proportionate public interest in telling the public who
:14:55. > :14:58.the offender is. It should not be done lightly, it should not be done
:14:58. > :15:03.routinely and it should not be done because of political encouragement
:15:03. > :15:09.by ministers. Several adults have been convicted of using Facebook to
:15:09. > :15:13.incite rioting. Two of them serving four years. Tomorrow the government
:15:13. > :15:20.and police will be asking social media sites what they can do to
:15:20. > :15:23.prevent such criminality from being co-ordinated. Coming up on
:15:23. > :15:30.tonight's programme: Five minutes after lift-off, disaster strikes a
:15:30. > :15:34.rocket bound for the International Space Station. We will have the
:15:34. > :15:37.story. Of Police used excessive force when
:15:37. > :15:41.they dragged a disabled man across a road during student
:15:41. > :15:44.demonstrations in London last year. The Independent Police Complaints
:15:44. > :15:48.Commission said an officer should be given management advice for
:15:48. > :15:52.using too much force. The protestor, Jody McIntyre, had been removed
:15:52. > :15:59.from his wheelchair and struck with a baton. Scotland Yard says it will
:15:59. > :16:02.consider the findings, as Tom Symonds reports.
:16:02. > :16:08.It was one of the many confrontations between protesters
:16:08. > :16:13.and police that December night. But the way in which Jody MacIntyre was
:16:13. > :16:17.removed from his wheelchair and dragged from the road has resulted
:16:17. > :16:20.in two investigations. Today, the Independent Police Complaints
:16:20. > :16:26.Commission decided it was appropriate to move came, as police
:16:26. > :16:30.attempted to control the streets, but that they used excessive force.
:16:30. > :16:35.The police watchdog has also concluded that the incident, right
:16:35. > :16:39.in the heart of Westminster, may have amounted to assault and should
:16:39. > :16:46.have been reported to prosecutors. Six months on, the time limit for
:16:46. > :16:53.that has now passed. Why is it that when young people are writing in
:16:53. > :17:01.London, they have the courts open 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
:17:01. > :17:07.but when a police officer commits a crime, they over run a six-month
:17:07. > :17:12.limit to prosecute that police officer. Mr MacIntyre is a
:17:13. > :17:15.prominent activist. He was at the forefront of the student protests.
:17:16. > :17:22.The Met's investigation concluded he was inadvertently struck by a
:17:22. > :17:26.police baton in his early incident. No officer was blamed but the IPCC
:17:26. > :17:30.report says the force should have apologised and the officers should
:17:30. > :17:33.have been given so-called words of advice. Jody McIntyre has been
:17:33. > :17:37.criticised for suggesting on Twitter that neighbourhoods should
:17:37. > :17:42.be inspired by the recent riots and rise up against the police. He has
:17:42. > :17:46.argued, following his experiences in December, that public order
:17:46. > :17:52.policing is too heavy handed. But in recent weeks, the criticism has
:17:52. > :17:54.been the opposite. That the police should have been tougher.
:17:54. > :17:57.Merseyside Police have been criticised by the Independent
:17:57. > :18:01.Police Complaints Commission for failing to monitor a sex offender
:18:01. > :18:04.who went on to murder a teenage girl. Peter Chapman, a convicted
:18:04. > :18:09.rapist, killed 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall after befriending her on
:18:09. > :18:12.Facebook. The IPCC said he had been allowed to slip away from attention
:18:12. > :18:19.and explained one police constable had the job of monitoring 60 sex
:18:19. > :18:22.offenders. The man who murdered the headmaster
:18:22. > :18:26.Philip Lawrence outside his school in 1995 has been cleared of robbing
:18:26. > :18:29.a someone at a cash machine in north London. Learco Chindamo,
:18:29. > :18:37.who's now 31, had been accused of using his notoriety as a killer to
:18:37. > :18:39.intimidate and rob. Russian officials say an unmanned
:18:39. > :18:46.spaceship bound for the International Space Station has
:18:46. > :18:49.exploded and fallen to earth five minutes after lift-off. It was
:18:49. > :18:53.carrying more than two tons of supplies for the space station and
:18:53. > :18:56.its six astronauts. The Russian spaceships are now the only supply
:18:56. > :19:03.link since the ending of the US shuttle program. Our science
:19:03. > :19:08.correspondent, Pallab Ghosh, has the story.
:19:08. > :19:12.The Progress spacecraft lifted of smoothly enough from the cosmodrome
:19:12. > :19:17.in Kazakhstan this afternoon, but as a rocket disappeared from view,
:19:17. > :19:20.the proportion system stalled and fell back to earth. The cargo ship
:19:21. > :19:24.was carrying several tons of supplies to the International Space
:19:24. > :19:29.Station but there won't be any immediate problem for the
:19:29. > :19:34.astronauts on board, according to NASA. We are in a good position
:19:34. > :19:38.logistically to withstand this also supplies and in fact, I will tell
:19:38. > :19:48.you we can go several months without a resupply vehicle if that
:19:48. > :19:52.becomes necessary. The unmanned rocket used to supply the station
:19:52. > :19:55.issued -- space station is similar to the one here, so until it
:19:55. > :19:59.investigators find out what went wrong, there will be no more
:19:59. > :20:04.launches but the crew will not be trapped. They can get back to earth
:20:04. > :20:10.in capsules that are already docked. The scrapping know of the shuttle
:20:10. > :20:14.programme in July means that there is now no back-up plan. It draws
:20:14. > :20:17.attention to how vulnerable the International Space Station project
:20:17. > :20:21.is without the shuttle, because should anything more serious go
:20:21. > :20:26.wrong, you need the vehicle as large as the space shuttle to do a
:20:26. > :20:29.space walk from to repair the space station so you can colonise it
:20:29. > :20:36.again and without that kind of capability, which we do not have
:20:36. > :20:41.now, you might end up losing the space station altogether. Hurricane
