:00:09. > :00:14.Hundreds of Libyan rebels are tonight pouring into the capital,
:00:14. > :00:23.Tripoli. As opposition fighters move in, there was little sign of
:00:23. > :00:26.resistance from forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi.
:00:26. > :00:32.Rebels advanced during the day after heavy clashes on the roads to
:00:32. > :00:39.Tripoli - we report from the front line. Very heavy gunfire coming
:00:39. > :00:43.over our heads here. This morning, having really too easy a ride early
:00:43. > :00:44.on, the rebels seem to have met some proper resistance.
:00:45. > :00:47.SOUND OF GUNFIRE As the opposition fighters prepared
:00:47. > :00:53.to move forward, the Libyan Government vowed to fight to the
:00:53. > :00:58.end. We know that people even scared in their houses at this very
:00:58. > :01:00.moment, they do not want us to give up because giving up means such
:01:00. > :01:07.gangs will control the country. With events moving very quickly,
:01:07. > :01:09.we'll have the very latest from our correspondents in Libya. Also
:01:09. > :01:16.tonight: The widow of the Red Arrows pilot,
:01:16. > :01:20.killed during an air display in Dorset, pays him her own tribute.
:01:20. > :01:25.John was An amazing person. He was a dedicated husband, friend, and he
:01:25. > :01:35.was just there for everybody. And England need seven more wickets
:01:35. > :01:47.
:01:47. > :01:53.to secure a series whitewash against India.
:01:53. > :01:57.Good evening. Hundreds of Libyan rebels are in the capital, Tripoli.
:01:57. > :02:00.Gun battles had been reported near the centre of the city earlier in
:02:00. > :02:02.the day, though there have ben no reports of resistance in the last
:02:02. > :02:05.few hours. The rebels captured an important military base defending
:02:05. > :02:15.the western approach to the capital. Colonel Gaddafi said he wouldn't
:02:15. > :02:19.abandon Tripoli and would remain there until the end. This is how
:02:19. > :02:24.events unfolded today. Rebels have been putting on pressure on Tripoli
:02:24. > :02:26.from two main sides. This morning the main rebel forces got within 17
:02:26. > :02:33.miles of Tripoli, and clashed with pro-Gaddafi troops. Our
:02:33. > :02:38.correspondent, Rupert Wingfield Hayes, reports from Zawiya. There's
:02:38. > :02:43.no doubt where these rebels think they're going - to Tripoli. On the
:02:43. > :02:47.road ahead, discarded uniforms from Gaddafi's soldiers who have fled
:02:47. > :02:54.minutes before. Hundreds of rebels are now on the march towards the
:02:54. > :02:59.capital, and they believe the end is now close. Six months ago, these
:02:59. > :03:04.were students and electricians, even dentists. Now they are united
:03:04. > :03:09.by one thing. To Tripoli! So how do you feel today? Very happy, my
:03:09. > :03:15.friend. Why are you so happy? Because we're going to dig this
:03:15. > :03:18.bastard out of wherever he is, man. As they advance, the flags are
:03:18. > :03:28.changed. Now just 30 kilometres from Tripoli, we enter the small
:03:28. > :03:31.
:03:31. > :03:38.town of Al Mya. The rebels are welcomed as liberators.
:03:38. > :03:45.SOUND OF GUNFIRE CAR HORNS
:03:45. > :03:50.CHANTING: Libya! Libya! This is just 27 kilometres exactly
:03:50. > :03:57.from his place. We're going there now. We'll be there in just 20
:03:57. > :04:02.minutes. OK. We are freedom - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:04:02. > :04:11.The optimism is misplaced. Suddenly, everyone is running for cover,
:04:11. > :04:17.bullets whizzing overhead. SOUND OF GUNFIRE
:04:17. > :04:23.We've just come down the road a bit further towards Tripoli, and you
:04:23. > :04:27.can hear above me now this incoming sniper fire, very, very heavy
:04:27. > :04:31.sniper fire coming over the top of our heads from this morning really
:04:31. > :04:37.having had too easy of a ride early on - now the rebels seem to have
:04:37. > :04:47.met some proper resistance. rebels are taking casualties, and
:04:47. > :05:00.
:05:00. > :05:07.it's time for us to leave. Panic The rebels are now in retreat. But
:05:07. > :05:11.it doesn't last long. By this evening, this is what we found just
:05:11. > :05:20.18 miles from the centre of Tripoli. This military base belonged to one
:05:20. > :05:28.of Colonel Gaddafi's most elite units, the Camisse Brigade. Tonight
:05:28. > :05:31.it's in the hands of looters. The feared brigade has disappeared.
:05:31. > :05:33.Earlier today the Libyan government remained defiant in the face of the
:05:33. > :05:36.rebel advances. A spokesman called for an immediate ceasefire, warning
:05:36. > :05:46.of bloodshed on the streets. From Tripoli, Matthew Price sent this
:05:46. > :05:47.
:05:47. > :05:52.report. The rebels called it "zero hour", "The dawn of Libya", they
:05:52. > :05:56.chand, as they moved off, taking the fight to Colonel Gaddafi's
:05:56. > :06:00.forces. We can't verify this footage, but we know that in places
:06:01. > :06:06.across the Libyan capital there has been fierce fighting between both
:06:06. > :06:12.sides. Colonel Gaddafi spoke on state TV as the fighting continued.
:06:12. > :06:17.He told them the rats, his term for the rebels, had been eliminated. "I
:06:17. > :06:20.know you're happy," he told his supporters. On state television,
:06:20. > :06:24.the presenter said she would shoot any rebels who tried to take over
:06:24. > :06:29.the station, but at a press conference with the Government
:06:29. > :06:39.Information Minister, the tone was less defiant. We are here to
:06:39. > :06:43.
:06:44. > :06:48.sincerely, as always, appeal for an immediate ceasefire, an immediate
:06:48. > :06:52.halt of NATO's aggression against our nation. The last time we saw
:06:52. > :06:56.Colonel Gaddafi was months ago. The pressure is increasing on him.
:06:56. > :07:01.Today, the Foreign Office said NATO jets had played a significant role
:07:01. > :07:04.in the last 24 hours. NATO's mandate is to protect civilians,
:07:04. > :07:08.but it's clear without its help, the rebels would not be as strong
:07:08. > :07:14.as they are now. Well, the fighting here in Tripoli has been going on
:07:14. > :07:19.throughout the day. There's just been another sustained burst of
:07:20. > :07:24.gunfire and large explosion, and at the moment it appears to be getting
:07:24. > :07:27.closer. A senior Government source here told me there are 65,000
:07:27. > :07:32.Government sources ready to defend this city. He also said the tribes
:07:33. > :07:37.are beginning to defend their own in Tripoli itself. Around this city,
:07:37. > :07:40.the rebels have been driving, marching towards Tripoli. There are
:07:40. > :07:45.reports that they've managed to take over a major military base to
:07:45. > :07:49.the west of here, home to one of the best-trained units in Libya.
:07:49. > :07:53.The Government is losing its grip on power, but what comes next may
:07:53. > :08:00.not be the smooth regime change the West would like to see.
:08:00. > :08:04.Well, in a moment, we'll speak to our correspondent Orla, who is in
:08:04. > :08:08.the western stronghold of Missy Elliot. But first let's go back to
:08:08. > :08:12.Matthew Price live in Tripoli. You were talking about fighting going
:08:12. > :08:18.on, then we hear there is no resistance. What can you tell us
:08:18. > :08:21.from where you are? I am in a hotel, the hotel that the Government has
:08:21. > :08:24.obliged foreign journalists to stay in since this crisis began. My
:08:24. > :08:28.movements are controlled. I am not allowed to go out of the hotel.
:08:28. > :08:33.There is a lot of fight in the vicinity of this hotel up until
:08:33. > :08:37.about an hour or so ago. That's now calmed down. Just looking out of
:08:37. > :08:41.the window, you can see fireworks in the distance which you could
:08:42. > :08:46.assume would be fireworks of celebration, but the streets
:08:46. > :08:50.exactly outside this hotel - a little - five miles or so to the
:08:50. > :08:53.city centre, the streets are absolutely deserted at the moment.
:08:53. > :08:56.PROBLEM WITH SOUND And certainly no jubilant crowds on
:08:56. > :09:00.them. So all of this talk earlier on from
:09:00. > :09:05.the government that they were going to fight to the end, there doesn't
:09:05. > :09:08.seem to be much sign of that at the moment, anyway. At the moment there,
:09:08. > :09:12.doesn't. There are these rumours that Colonel Gaddafi's personal
:09:12. > :09:16.bodyguards have laid down their weapons. There are other weapons
:09:16. > :09:20.about his son, Faisal Islam, having been arrested. There are all sorts
:09:20. > :09:23.of rumours swirling around that the rebels are on the march into
:09:23. > :09:29.Tripoli itself and they are as yet not being met with any sort of
:09:29. > :09:34.force. Now, you know, it's very hard to read this from where I am.
:09:34. > :09:38.However, it is worth noting that on some occasions in the past when the
:09:38. > :09:42.opposition forces have moved into key towns, they have then found
:09:42. > :09:47.themselves to a certain extent surrounded by pro-Gaddafi forces
:09:47. > :09:51.who emerge from rooftops as snipers who then start firing in mortars
:09:51. > :09:55.and other heavy weaponry on to the rebels. Perhaps that is a tactic
:09:55. > :09:59.that is going to be employed here in Tripoli tonight. Alternatively,
:09:59. > :10:03.the quietness and the speed of the rebel advance, as it appears to be
:10:03. > :10:06.at the moment, if that is maintained, then perhaps we really
:10:06. > :10:10.are witnessing the fall of the regime and possibly even a fairly
:10:10. > :10:16.peaceful one. Matthew Price there in Tripoli, thank you very much
:10:16. > :10:22.indeed. Let's go to Orla Guerin, who is in
:10:22. > :10:25.Misrata, where the rebels are based, or many of them. How do you read
:10:25. > :10:28.the situation from there? I think even a week ago very few people
:10:28. > :10:31.would have thought that things could move at this speed.
:10:31. > :10:35.SOUND OF GUNFIRE And yet tonight we have the rebels
:10:35. > :10:38.in the heart of Tripoli. This was supposed to be Colonel Gaddafi's
:10:38. > :10:42.last bastion, and from what we're hearing, they have managed to
:10:42. > :10:45.stream in almost with relative ease, and I think the big question
:10:45. > :10:51.tonight is, where is Colonel Gaddafi, and particularly, where
:10:51. > :10:54.will he be by morning? Here in Misrata, as you can probably hear,
:10:54. > :10:58.celebration have erupted. It started more than an hour ago. You
:10:58. > :11:05.may be able to see in the street behind me that we have cars
:11:05. > :11:08.coursing up and down blaring their horns. We have drivers shouting
:11:08. > :11:11.victory slogans. We have celebratory gunfire going on more
:11:11. > :11:15.or less all the time. We have had fireworks in the sky. Now, these
:11:15. > :11:20.celebrations may be a little bit premature, but I suppose people
:11:20. > :11:22.here would be forgiven, as this city suffered enormously under
:11:22. > :11:26.Colonel Gaddafi. There was heavy shelling earlier in the year. I was
:11:26. > :11:31.here at that time when you simply couldn't move around on the streets.
:11:31. > :11:35.There were snipers terrorising the population, and here in this city
:11:35. > :11:38.alone, more than 400 civilians were killed, so down on the streets
:11:38. > :11:42.tonight, they're very anxious to begin the celebration. Now, back
:11:42. > :11:46.earlier in the year, I covered the rebel advances for about a month,
:11:46. > :11:49.and at that stage, they were woefully lacking in strategy and in
:11:49. > :11:54.discipline, but they certainly seem to have learnt from their mistakes.
:11:54. > :12:00.What we have seen in the last few months particularly was a strategic,
:12:00. > :12:03.coordinated advance with the aim of cutting off supply routes and
:12:03. > :12:06.circling Colonel Gaddafi. It certainly seems to have worked. If
:12:06. > :12:10.the rebels are on the verge of a victory or if victory is coming
:12:10. > :12:14.soon, it's because they have worked hand in glove with NATO, though
:12:14. > :12:18.NATO may not be willing to share that credit, but the feeling here
:12:18. > :12:23.is very much though it is still a long night ahead in Tripoli, there
:12:23. > :12:27.could be Darren, ahead. People are hoping they'll wake up after 42
:12:27. > :12:37.years to a Libya that could look very, very different.
:12:37. > :12:39.
:12:39. > :12:41.Many thanks. The RAF has grounded the Hawk
:12:41. > :12:45.aircraft flown by the Red Arrows while an investigation is carried
:12:45. > :12:47.out into the death of one of its pilots during a display. Flight
:12:47. > :12:50.Lieutenant Jon Egging crashed at the Bournemouth air show yesterday.
:12:50. > :12:54.His wife today said he was an "amazing" and "dedicated" husband.
:12:54. > :12:56.Danny Savage reports. At the scene of the Red Arrows
:12:56. > :13:05.crash near Bournemouth, investigations continued. The pilot
:13:05. > :13:10.who died here was 33-year-old before veteran Jon Egging. Tonight
:13:10. > :13:13.his widow Emma paid tribute to him. John was an amazing person. He was
:13:13. > :13:17.a completely dedicated husband and friend, and he was just there for
:13:17. > :13:24.everybody, and he always gave his absolute most whether it was for
:13:24. > :13:28.his job or for his home life, so Jon was just brilliant. But why did
:13:28. > :13:34.Flight Lieutenant Egging's plane fail to complete this well-
:13:34. > :13:37.practised manoeuvre and crash? One experienced fast jet pilot suggests
:13:37. > :13:42.several possibilities. Everything from aircraft mechanical failure,
:13:42. > :13:45.fuel starvation, that sort of thing, bird strikes perhaps, pilot's
:13:45. > :13:49.incapacitation, distraction, a whole host of things. There is a
:13:49. > :13:54.list - anything you can think of, really, at the outset, is what
:13:54. > :13:57.they'll be looking at. The hawkjets flown by the Red Arrowss and used
:13:57. > :14:04.by the rest of the RAF have been grounded as part of their inquiry.
:14:04. > :14:10.In their 46-year history, the Red Arrows have performed in 50
:14:10. > :14:13.countries. For the last 20 years they have UKed the Hawk 21. The
:14:14. > :14:17.team have only had one other fatal aircraft with this type of aircraft.
:14:18. > :14:21.But last year the whole fleet was grounded over problems with the
:14:21. > :14:26.ejector seat. At the Bournemouth Air Show this afternoon, there was
:14:26. > :14:30.a minute's silence, and many wore red clothes as a tribute to Jon
:14:30. > :14:35.Egging. It's not just people in born moth who have been paying
:14:35. > :14:45.their respects, here at the home of the Red Arrows, others have been
:14:45. > :14:45.
:14:45. > :14:49.signing a book of condolences and leaving flowers. The jets are seen
:14:49. > :14:54.practicing in the skies north of Lincoln for much of the year. But
:14:55. > :14:59.the authorities of this community are with the family of Flight
:14:59. > :15:07.Lieutenant Egging. One person here wrote, "You gave so much pleasure
:15:07. > :15:10.to so many, one of the few." A memorial concert for the 77
:15:10. > :15:13.killed by a right wing extremist has been held in Oslo today.
:15:13. > :15:20.Finance of the victims and survivors attended the service
:15:20. > :15:24.along with Norway's Royal family Family and politicians. The King
:15:24. > :15:32.fought back tears during an emotional speech. We can have a
:15:32. > :15:42.report now from our correspondent inslo, Steve Rosenberg.
:15:42. > :15:43.
:15:43. > :15:47.This was Norway's answer to Anders Breivik's terror. Here in the
:15:47. > :15:55.audience were the family of his victims and those Norwegians who
:15:55. > :16:00.survived the attacks. King Harold of Norway declared that
:16:00. > :16:03.freedom was stronger than fear. Earlier, politicians and foreign
:16:03. > :16:07.dignitaries had laid flowers outside Oslo Cathedral. With
:16:07. > :16:12.today's ceremony here in Oslo, Norway brings to an end what has
:16:12. > :16:17.been a month of mourning. The hope now is that a nation traumatised by
:16:17. > :16:21.two acts of terror can start to move on. In jail, he is to be kept
:16:21. > :16:26.in total isolation for four more weeks. He's confessed to the car
:16:26. > :16:31.bomb that killed eight people in Oslo. He admits shooting 69 people
:16:31. > :16:35.on Utoeya island, but he doesn't see it as a crime. Those who fled
:16:35. > :16:42.the island a month ago went back to honour the dead and to try to come
:16:42. > :16:47.to terms with what happened here. Adrian was shot by Breivik. This
:16:47. > :16:52.will be an enormous help for me in the future as well to know that I
:16:52. > :16:57.have been here again. I've returned with a smile on my face, and a tear
:16:57. > :17:02.in my eye, but I do feel that this was very, very good for me, and I
:17:02. > :17:08.also heard that it was very good for many others as well. This woman
:17:08. > :17:13.was on the island too that day. When she heard gunshots, she hid
:17:13. > :17:16.from Breivik under a bed. We have cried so many tears. I don't have
:17:16. > :17:19.anymore tears left. I don't want to cry anymore either because tomorrow
:17:19. > :17:24.we have to start living our lives again, and I think this will be
:17:24. > :17:29.great for us. But at the end of the memorial
:17:29. > :17:35.service, there were tears as the victims' names were read out - 77
:17:35. > :17:45.people killed by one man. Norway will try now to move on, but what
:17:45. > :17:53.
:17:53. > :17:56.Breivik did has left deep scars. Now the cricket.
:17:56. > :17:59.It promises to be an exciting final day in the Test series tomorrow.
:17:59. > :18:02.England bowled India out and forced them to follow on today and at the
:18:02. > :18:05.close the tourists were 129 for 3 in their second innings, that's
:18:05. > :18:06.still 162 runs behind. England preparing for a day of
:18:06. > :18:09.bowling in fitting fashion as India's batting foundations have
:18:09. > :18:13.been built on sand this series - at least they had their rock. Dravid
:18:13. > :18:19.has been the only man who has come close to being reliable for the
:18:19. > :18:23.tourists. At the other end, the crumble went on.Some, Doney gone
:18:23. > :18:27.and India in another fines me. Dravid was playing the straight man,
:18:27. > :18:31.though, moving to his third century of the series while his team-mates
:18:31. > :18:35.have yet to get one between them. He inspired some initiative here,
:18:35. > :18:42.and the pair of them were making things challenging for England, but
:18:42. > :18:46.once again they reacted, specifically, Ian Bell reacted.
:18:46. > :18:50.Mishra gone, these just stick. Gambia stuck around for awhile
:18:50. > :18:55.before Stuart Broad accounted for him. India got to 300, but no
:18:55. > :18:59.further. Dravid remained unbeaten, but he got no time for a rest.
:18:59. > :19:04.England asked him and his team to follow on, so out he came again.
:19:04. > :19:08.This time, though, his resistance was ended by Graeme Swann. Perhaps
:19:08. > :19:15.even the umpire couldn't believe it was true as it needed a review to
:19:15. > :19:20.finally send him on his way. India needed someone similarly stubborn.
:19:20. > :19:24.Sehwag wasn't it, neither was Laxman. As the sun starts to set on
:19:24. > :19:32.a glorious summer for English Test Cricket, tomorrow could be a golden
:19:32. > :19:35.A reminder of the main news: Libyan rebels have advanced into
