:00:56. > :01:06.foolish, and it's against the law. We urge everybody in theestest --

:01:26. > :01:28.Almost a week after the final battle for Tripoli began, there's

:01:28. > :01:33.growing concern about the increasing difficult living

:01:33. > :01:36.conditions in the Libyan capital. Many people are without water and

:01:36. > :01:39.electricity, food is scarce and there are growing sanitation

:01:39. > :01:43.problems. Amid warnings from the United Nations that millions in the

:01:43. > :01:53.city are at risk, the rebels say they are trying to increase the

:01:53. > :01:54.

:01:54. > :01:58.supply of fuel, and to deliver water and medicine. Tripoli still

:01:58. > :02:02.hasn't recovered from the ordeal of its revolution. Scarcely any shops

:02:02. > :02:08.are open. There is little or no electricity and no running water.

:02:09. > :02:12.Bottled water is all there is. It's expensive. It gets used up fast.

:02:12. > :02:19.Supporters of Colonel Gaddafi still control the water supply from the

:02:19. > :02:23.far south. They have cut it off. The UN's other big anxiety is for

:02:23. > :02:28.fuel. In Tripoli supplies are rung out fast. It's costing more and

:02:28. > :02:33.more. This is a new era, yet things don't always seem to be much better.

:02:33. > :02:40.We have come to see what happened to Colonel Gaddafi's famous Women

:02:40. > :02:48.Bodyguards. We are at the Military Academy for Women. There are a

:02:48. > :02:55.couple of women firing rifles either side. Colonel Gaddafi

:02:55. > :03:03.surrounded himself with a core of women guards. They swore an oath to

:03:03. > :03:08.defend him to the death. Only, they didn't of course. They ran for it.

:03:08. > :03:16.Now their Baraks have been taken over by the rebels who, for some

:03:16. > :03:25.reason, didn't want us to be here. When we didn't leave, the Commander

:03:25. > :03:30.went off to get a gun. Then he fired again, getting more and more

:03:30. > :03:35.threatening. The rebels don't usually behave like this. It was

:03:35. > :03:40.just like the bad old days. Mostly though, the rebels actively want to

:03:40. > :03:46.show us the crimes and abuses of the past. We went to Tripoli

:03:46. > :03:55.Airport to see Colonel Gaddafi as's famous private aircraft. A guy at

:03:55. > :04:01.antic Airbus 340. Immensely expensive and luxurious inside. He

:04:01. > :04:06.slept in a large and comfortable double bed. His private bathroom

:04:06. > :04:10.included a decent size gentleman cues quiy. The man who gave the

:04:10. > :04:16.impression he lived like a poor desert Bedwyn travelled the world

:04:16. > :04:22.like the richest of billionaires. We can go live now it Tripoli and

:04:22. > :04:28.talk to John. John, quite a contrast between the life kg was

:04:28. > :04:33.enjoying and what people in Tripoli are experiencing right now. How bad

:04:33. > :04:37.are the shortages for them? Shortages are bad. Everything that

:04:37. > :04:42.affects the most minute details of everybody's lives. Even a big hotel,

:04:42. > :04:48.like the one that I'm staying in, has no water whatever. Electricity

:04:48. > :04:51.is only provided by a generator. Some people do have generators.

:04:51. > :04:56.Nevertheless, life is very difficult. This is the hottest time

:04:56. > :05:01.of the year. It's also coming to the end of the Ramadan period. That

:05:01. > :05:04.is also play as big part in the way people live their lives. To be

:05:04. > :05:11.without power, without water, at this time, is a really serious

:05:11. > :05:15.thing. Thank you very much. A former Libyan diplomat has been

:05:15. > :05:19.identified as the main suspect in the killing of Yvonne Fletcher. No-

:05:19. > :05:24.one has ever been charged over the death of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, who

:05:24. > :05:29.died when Libyan officials opened fire on a demonstration outside

:05:29. > :05:35.their embassy in central London. The Foreign Office say it stands

:05:35. > :05:41.ready to help Scotland Yard officers in Libya as soon as

:05:41. > :05:45.conditions allow. Was this the man responsible for one of the most

:05:45. > :05:52.notorious unsolved solved murders in British history, Abdulmagid

:05:52. > :05:55.Salah Ameri am. Identified today as the gunman accused of shooting WPC

:05:55. > :06:02.Yvonne Fletcher. PC Fletcher was killed when shots were fired from

:06:02. > :06:08.inside the embassy at a group who were protesting outside. 11 day

:06:08. > :06:13.police siege followed. Embassy staff were allowed to leave under

:06:13. > :06:17.the umbrella of diplomatic immunity. According to the Telegraph

:06:17. > :06:22.newspaper, Mr Ameri is named in a report for the Crown Prosecution

:06:22. > :06:27.Service as the main suspect in the police officer's death. He was seen

:06:27. > :06:32.by a witness firing a machine gun from the firs first floor window.

:06:32. > :06:37.want to know who was trying to kill me and my colleagues as well as

:06:37. > :06:43.those, obviously, that killed WPC Fletcher. We want to know who they

:06:43. > :06:47.are. They will be brought to justice as soon as possible.

:06:47. > :06:55.murder caused outrage. It was the pictures of embassy staff walking

:06:55. > :06:57.out of this building which left a legacy of bitterness. No-one has

:06:57. > :07:01.been brought to justice for this appalling crime on the streets of

:07:01. > :07:06.London. The government has made it absolutely clear we will pursue

:07:06. > :07:11.this in every way we possibly can to ensure that justice takes place.

:07:11. > :07:17.Detectives hope to travel to Libya to question Mr Ameri. As yet, they

:07:17. > :07:20.don't know where to find him or whether he is even still alive.

:07:20. > :07:24.Millions are fleeing the path of Hurricane Irene as it starts to hit

:07:24. > :07:30.America's East Coast. It's made landfall in North Carolina and is

:07:30. > :07:34.heading for New York. Some areas are being evacuated for the first

:07:34. > :07:44.time ever. The city's Mayor has warned it's a "life threatening

:07:44. > :07:49.hurricane". First light, Irene arrived in America. The piers

:07:49. > :07:53.little defence against the waves. The surge brought immediate

:07:53. > :07:57.flooding and winds of 90mph toppled power lines. A quarter of a million

:07:57. > :08:02.people are without electricity. Some made a last-ditch effort to

:08:02. > :08:09.out run the Hurricane whose assault on US shores will last 36-hours.

:08:09. > :08:14.Over night, Irene had weakened it a Category 1 storm. The image from

:08:14. > :08:19.space show as monster Hurricane 500 miles wide. Now bearing down on

:08:19. > :08:23.major urban centres. In New York today they were removing rubbish

:08:23. > :08:30.bins and anything else that might otherwise become a missile when

:08:30. > :08:36.Irene strikes here tomorrow morning. In evacuation zone s hotels were

:08:36. > :08:41.boarding up and turfing out guests, who are being moved to higher

:08:42. > :08:47.ground. Have shut down the airport. We are being relocated closer to
