Rebel forces in Libya pile the pressure Colonel Gaddafi's regime. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Opposition fighters are just a few miles from the capital, Tripoli. We | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
report from the front line. Very, very fire coming over the top of | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
our head tos. Having had an easy ride early on, now the rebels seem | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
to have met some proper resistance. As rebels vow to continue their | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
advance on the capital, the Libyan government says it will fight to | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
defend Tripoli. We know that people commit even scared in their houses | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
at this very moment, they do not want us to give up, because giving | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
up means that such gangs will control the country. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
All RAF Hawk aircraft are grounded as tributes are paid to the Red | :00:52. | :00:58. | |

Good evening. The Libyan government has vowed to fight until the end as | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
it tries to halt a rebel advance on Tripoli. Gun battles have erupted | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
in several parts of the capital over the past 24 hours. Today, | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
rebels are closing in on Tripoli From the east, after taking control | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
of Zlitan. And from the west, after taking Zawiya. This morning the | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
main rebel forces got within 17 miles of Tripoli and clashed with | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
pro-Gaddafi forces. They were then forced back a few miles, where the | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
front line is now. Our correspondent has been on the front | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
line and reports from Zawiya. There is no doubt where these | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
rebels think they are going. To Tripoli. On the road ahead, | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
discarded uniforms from Gaddafi soldiers who had fled minutes | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
before. Hundreds of rebels are now on the march towards the capital | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
and they believe the end is now close. Six months ago, these were | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
students and electricians, even dentists. Now they are united by | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
one thing. Today, Tripoli! How do you feel? Every happy, my friend. | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
Because we are going to take his BEEP out of his... Wherever he is... | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
In this small town we meet incoming sniper fire. But the rebels keep | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
moving forward. As they advance, the flags are changed. Now just 30 | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
kilometres from Tripoli, we enter another small town. The rebels are | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
:03:04. | :03:14. | ||
welcomed as liberators. Libya! Libya! Libby yet! | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
kilometre exactly from his place! We are going there! We will be | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
:03:30. | :03:30. | ||
there in 20 minutes! OK! Freedom! Yeah! But the optimism is misplaced. | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
Suddenly everyone is running for cover, bullets flying overhead. | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
:03:48. | :03:49. | ||
GUNFIRE. We have just come down the road a bit further towards Tripoli. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
You can hear above me, the incoming sniper fire, very heavy, over the | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
top of our heads. Having had a relatively easy ride early on, the | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
rebels now seem to have met some proper resistants. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
GUNFIRE. The rebels are taking casualties | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
:04:19. | :04:20. | ||
and it is time for us to leave. Panic turns to chaos. | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
Go, go! Drive! Go, go! | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
The rebels are now in full retreat. As they fall back, the prospect of | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
making it to Tripoli by night or evaporate. The fight for the | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
capital will be harder than they thought. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
The Libyan government has remained defiant in the face of the rebel | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
advances. A spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim, has called for an | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
immediate ceasefire, warning of bloodshed on the streets if the | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
rebels continued. This report from Tripoli. | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
The rebels called in zero hour. The dawn of Libya, they chanted, as | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
they moved off, taking the fight to Colonel Gaddafi's forces. We cannot | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
verify this footage but we know that in places across the Libyan | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
capital, there has been fierce fighting between both sides. | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Colonel Gaddafi spoke on state television as the fighting | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
continued. He told them the rats, his term for the rebels, had been | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
eliminated. I know you are happy, he told his supporters. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
On state television, the presenter said she would shoot any rebels who | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
tried to take over the station. But at a press conference with the | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
Government Information Minister, the tone was less defined. -- | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
defiant. We are here to, sincerely, as always, appealed for an | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
:06:05. | :06:06. | ||
immediate ceasefire... An immediate halt of NATO's aggression against | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
our mission. The last time we saw Colonel Gaddafi was months ago. The | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
pressure is increasing on him. Today the Foreign Office said NATO | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
jets had played as significant role in the last 24 hours. Its mandate | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
is to protect civilians but it is clear, without NATO's help, the | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
rebels would not be as strong as they are on now. The fighting in | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Tripoli has been going on throughout the day. There has just | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
been another sustained burst of gunfire and a large explosion. A | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
senior government source has told me there of 65,000 professional | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
soldiers ready to defend the city and he also told me the tribes are | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
beginning to defend their own in Tripoli itself. He predicted all- | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
out tribal warfare, and massacred even, if the rebels arrive. Around | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
this city, the rebels have been marching towards Tripoli. There are | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
reports they have managed to take over a major military base to the | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
west of here, home to one of the best trained units in Libya. The | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
government is losing its grip on power but what comes next may not | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
be this mood regime changed the West would like to see. -- this | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
move regime change. Let's go live to our correspondent | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
in his rata. The rebels do seem to have the upper hand, can we say? -- | :07:31. | :07:40. | |
in his Misrata. On the eastern front, we have not | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
seen advances today. We went back to the town of Zlitan, the rebels | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
took that on Friday. They have not managed to push much beyond it | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
because they are still facing resistance and even at the edge of | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
town, there were exchanges of fire taking place and the rebels were | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
still catching Gaddafi loyalists there. They showed us a carload of | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
prisoners who they said were mercenaries from Chad who had just | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
been taken and one of the men was pleading not to be beaten. The | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
rebels reassuring him that nobody would hurt him. The fight as we | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
spoke to said they were very anxious to get to Tripoli -- the | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
fighters. If that they wanted to support their brothers in arms, as | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
they called them, and they said they had given them a tremendous | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
morale-booster and rebel officials are telling us the orders have been | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
given, that the men have been told to go forward, but they also say | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
that progress will depend on resistance and there is a fair | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
amount of territory to recover, almost 100 miles between Zlitan and | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
Tripoli, but the rebels are saying there is no shortage of fighters | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
and they are leaving putting together a new unit of volunteers | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
from Zlitan who want to go to the capital and if they they have | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
received fresh ammunition in the last few days. There was also a | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
claim today that the rebels have managed to send a boatload of | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
people from Misrata and they managed to reach Tripoli but so far, | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
that is the claim we have not been able to confirm. The message from | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
the Eastern Front is that they want to advance, the orders have been | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
given, they are ready to do so but they do expect resistance along the | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
way and I don't think the progress on this side will be anything like | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
as swift as the progress we have seen in and around Zawiya. | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
Thank you. The RAF has grounded the Hawk | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
aircraft flown by the Red Arrows, while an investigation is carried | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
out into the death of one of its pilots during a display. Flight | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Lieutenant Jon Egging crashed at the Bournemouth Air Show yesterday. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire it is the home of the Red Arrows. | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
Danny Savage is there. This is the place the Red Arrows call home. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Their formal name, the Royal Air Force aerobatic team, is top of the | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
list of units based here and it is not unusual for people to stand | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
around the perimeter fence and watch the Red Arrows practising | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
their fast flying at various times during the display season, but | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
today people have been coming instead to pay their respects after | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
yesterday's crash in Dorset. At the scene of the Red Arrows | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
crash near Bournemouth, investigators are now trying to | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
work out what went wrong. Why did an elite RAF pilot died? One | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
experienced fast jet pilot suggests several possibilities for. | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
Everything from aircraft mechanical failure, fuel starvation, piloting | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
incapacitation, distraction. There is a lift, anything you can think | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
of, is what they will be looking at. The Hawk jets and those used by the | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
rest of the RAF have now been grounded as part of the inquiry. In | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
their 40s 60 history, the Red Arrows have performed more than | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
4,000 displays in over 50 countries -- 46 year history. For the last 20 | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
years, they have used the Hawk T1. The team have only ever had one of | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
fatal accident with this aircraft. But last year, the fleet was | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
grounded over problems with the ejector seat. At the Bournemouth | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
Air Show today, one minute's silence. Many wore red clothes as a | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
tribute. The error -- aerobatic team were supposed to fly again | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
came to lay flowers. There was a strong affection for the team which | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
practices here most days of the week. One local MP says the Red | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
Arrows must commit in time, take to the skies again. I know they have | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
taken a casualty but they will not be defeated by the inevitable | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
sorrow. They will get on with it a. But for now, the thoughts of the | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
community of with the wife and family of Flight Lieutenant Jon | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
Egging. One person here wrote "you get so much pleasure to so many, | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
one of the few". The Ministry of Defence say the Red | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Arrows are very unlikely to be flying any of their displays for | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
the next week or so. In the last 20 minutes, some of their pilots | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
returned here and came out to look at some of the tributes. They ask | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
specifically not to be filled. Some of them were visibly upset but they | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
also seemed to be gaining some comfort from the outpouring of | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
public support that this world- famous group of players have been | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
getting over the last 24 hours. Protests have continued for a | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
second day outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo. Demonstrators are | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
angry over the deaths of five Egyptian policemen, who were killed | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
as Israeli forces targeted Palestinian militants on Thursday. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
There have been several rocket exchanges around the Gaza strip | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
over the past few days, after eight Israelis were killed in a series of | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
attacks. The femme de seven people killed in | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
Norway last month have been remembered in Oslo -- 77 people. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
Families of the victims attended the service, along with Norway's | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
Royal Family and leading politicians. This marks and end of | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
:13:39. | :13:45. | ||
This was nowhere's answer to Anders Breivik's terror. -- Norway's. The | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
song of remembrance. In the audience, it hear where the Nobel | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Peace Prize is awarded, with a family members of his victims. And | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
those Norwegians who had survived the attacks. King Harald V of | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Norway declared that freedom was stronger than fear. Norwegians, he | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
said would continue to live freely and openly. Earlier, politicians | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
and foreign dignitaries had laid flowers outside Oslo Cathedral. | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
With today's ceremony here in Oslo, Norway brings to an end what has | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
been a month of morning. The hope now is that that an Asian | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
traumatised by acts of terror can start to move on -- a nation. In | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
jail, Anders Breivik is to be kept in total isolation for another four | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
weeks. He has confessed to the car bomb that killed eight people in | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
Oslo. He admits shooting 69 people on the Utoeya island, but doesn't | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
see it as a crime. This weekend, the boats to its Utopia was sailing | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
again. Those who fled the island a month ago came back and tried to | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
come to terms with what happened -- Utopia. Adrian Pracon was shot by | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
Anders Breivik but survived. He was nervous about coming back but was | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
glad he did. This will be an enormous help for me in the future, | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
to know that I have been here again, I have returned, with a smile on my | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
face and that here in my eye. But I do feel that this was very good for | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
me and very good for many others -- 8 here in my life. This lady was on | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
the island that day as well. When she heard gunshots, she hid beneath | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
the bed. A we have cried so much, I have no tears left. And I don't | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
want to cry anymore. Tomorrow, we have to start living our lives | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
again and I think this will be a great pleasure for us. But at the | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
end of the memorial service, there were tears, as the victims' names | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
by read out. 77 people killed by one man. -- were read out. Norway | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
will try to move on but what Anders Breivik did has left deep scars. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
A leading human rights lawyer is planning to challenge got an's | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
university funding system. Phil Shiner says changing tuition fees - | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
- charging tuition fees to English students is unlawful and breaches | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
the Human Rights Act. The Scottish government has defended its policy | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
and says it is acting lawfully. Raymond Buchanan is in Glasgow. | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
What do we know about this? Well, keeping Scottish Universities | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
free up tuition fees has been a key policy of the Scottish government. | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Alex Salmond has promised the rocks will melt with the sun before he | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
charges students based in Scotland for going to university, but that | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
guarantee doesn't extend to students from other parts of the | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
United Kingdom. From next year, for instance, if you want to go to this | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
university and off from England you could be charged up to �9,000 per | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
year, whereas your Scottish counterparts would study for free. | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
That system now looks likely to be tested in the courts. The Phil | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
Shiner says there is discrimination in the way that different people | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
are treated in parts of the UK, and it may well preach the Human Rights | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
Act and equality laws. The Scottish government say they are positive | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
that their policy is lawful and are not discriminating on whether you | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
are English or whether you'd normally live in Scotland. If you | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
are English and live here, you will study for free. | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
There, with the sports news of the day, here is Oliver Foster. | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
It promises to be exciting day in the Test series tomorrow. England | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
bowled India out and fog -- forced them to follow on today. At the | :17:43. | :17:52. | |
close, the tourists were 129-three, still 162 runs behind. | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
England are preparing for a day of bowling in fitting fashion. The | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
bowling in fitting fashion. The Indian batsmen have been built on | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
sand this series. But at least they had their the Rock. Rahul Dravid | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
has been the idea man close to being reliable. At the other end, | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
the crumble went on. MS Dhoni Khan and India in another fine mess. But | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
Rahul Dravid was playing the straight man, moving to another | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
century while his team-mates have yet to get one between them. He | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
inspired and it miche rhetoric -- take some initiative and the pair | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
of them made things challenging for England. But once again, at they | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
reacted and specifically Ian Bell. When you are playing well, these | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
just stick. Stuart Broad accounting for another, India getting to 300 | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
but no further. Rahul Dravid remained unbeaten but got no time | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
for a rest. England asked him and his team to follow on so out he | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
came again. This time, his resistance was ended by Graeme | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Swann. Perhaps even the umpire couldn't believe it was true, as it | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
needed a review to finally sent him on his way. India needed someone | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
similarly stubborn. The Virender Sehwag was not it and neither was | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
VVS Laxman. -- Virender Sehwag. Unless they find some grip from | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
Unless they find some grip from somewhere, England will have the | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
whitewash. Manchester City have made it two | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
wins out of two and Bartok from the Premier -- top of the Premier | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
League after winning at Bolton. Gareth Barry getting their pick of | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
the goals. Ivan Klasnic pulled one back before a Edin Dzeko and scored | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
the decisive goal. Kevin Davies the decisive goal. Kevin Davies | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
pulled one back but City held on for the win. Elsewhere, Kenwyne | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
