:01:22. > :01:25.says it has uncovered dozens of arbitrary executions, and just
:01:25. > :01:28.outside Tripoli, the BBC has filmed the aftermath of an apparent
:01:29. > :01:32.massacre in a military base with testimony from men who escaped,
:01:32. > :01:42.forced to leave relatives behind. I should warn you Orla Guerin's
:01:42. > :01:45.
:01:45. > :01:51.report contains some graphic and distressing images.
:01:51. > :01:56.In the shadow of the Eagle, dark secrets are coming to light. This
:01:56. > :02:03.was the headquarters of a much feared army unit run by Colonel
:02:03. > :02:11.Gaddafi's son. In a compounded just behind it, we found victims of
:02:11. > :02:19.execution, killed on Tuesday, in the dying days of the regime. This
:02:19. > :02:24.man's feet were still bound. But there was worse to come. Inside
:02:24. > :02:29.this smouldering Warehouse, the charred remains of dozens of bodies.
:02:29. > :02:34.We cannot show you the kind of pictures that would convey the
:02:34. > :02:38.horror of what happened in here. It is very hard to even imagine the

:02:48. > :02:48.
:02:48. > :02:58.What we can say for certain is that they were shown absolutely no mercy.
:02:58. > :03:07.This man was one of them. He managed to flee the warehouse, but
:03:07. > :03:12.without his three sons. He says up to 150 civilians were packed in
:03:12. > :03:22.here, guarded by troops and mercenaries. They promised them
:03:22. > :03:27.water at sunset. But they came with guns instead. They started shooting
:03:27. > :03:37.like this, he said. Then, they threw in hand grenades, three of
:03:37. > :03:47.them. They stopped and came back and started again. The sight and
:03:47. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :03:57.smell were too much for some. For others, the grief was overwhelming.
:03:57. > :04:04.Husbands and fathers and sons had gone down here, men who never lived
:04:04. > :04:11.to see freely Libya. Our world affairs editor John
:04:11. > :04:16.Simpson is in Tripoli now. There are concerns of up to 50,000
:04:16. > :04:25.prisoners arrested during the regime who still cannot be found.
:04:25. > :04:28.What more can you tell us on that? Not a great deal I am afraid,
:04:29. > :04:33.because their fate is a complete mystery. I am sure a lot of them
:04:33. > :04:39.will have managed to have made their escape. But we know already,
:04:39. > :04:44.even before this terrible new evidence, that quite a few
:04:44. > :04:49.prisoners had been murdered, people had been herded into courtyards and
:04:49. > :04:55.so on, and mown down. What we do not know his whose orders these are
:04:55. > :05:01.on, a local initiative of a few soldiers, or whether it went right
:05:01. > :05:07.up to the very top, to Colonel Gaddafi himself and his son. So, we
:05:07. > :05:10.simply cannot tell at this stage. Hurricane Irene has caused
:05:10. > :05:15.widespread damage along America's East Coast, so far claiming at
:05:15. > :05:18.least 11 lives and causing billions of dollars of damage. More than two
:05:18. > :05:21.million people were ordered to leave their homes, and an estimated
:05:21. > :05:25.four million properties have been left without power. As Irene made
:05:25. > :05:28.her way up the East Coast from North Carolina to New Jersey, it
:05:28. > :05:32.was downgraded to a tropical storm. That's been fortunate for New York,
:05:32. > :05:42.where damage is not as bad as was feared. Our correspondent Steve
:05:42. > :05:44.
:05:44. > :05:48.Kingstone is in New York for us this evening.
:05:48. > :05:52.Right now here in New York, what we are feeling is the tail-end of this
:05:52. > :05:57.storm system. As you said, Hurricane Irene was officially
:05:57. > :06:02.downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm, that means it has a
:06:02. > :06:08.lower wind speeds. But as we have seen today, she is still capable of
:06:08. > :06:12.inflicting serious damage. This morning, a giant waves
:06:12. > :06:20.buffeted the Atlantic coast as the artillery of destruction moved
:06:20. > :06:26.north. There goes the Life Guard shack. Here, rescuers helped an
:06:26. > :06:31.elderly resident from a home defenders against the tidal surge.
:06:31. > :06:36.The storm unloaded one ft of water, winds of 70 mph brought down power
:06:36. > :06:41.lines leaving millions without electricity. We're not out of the
:06:41. > :06:45.woods yet. Hurricane Irene remains a large and potentially dangerous
:06:45. > :06:50.storm, hazards still persist in committees that have already seen
:06:50. > :06:54.this storm pass. At the southern tip of Manhattan, torrential rain
:06:55. > :07:01.brought flooding. Its arrival has coincided with high tide which
:07:01. > :07:06.would normally stop about four feet below this harbour wall. But the
:07:06. > :07:11.waters have crept up with the storm surge, and are making their way
:07:11. > :07:16.into lower Manhattan. We have the skyscrapers of the financial
:07:16. > :07:20.district, Wall Street is a few blocks away. Before long, some
:07:20. > :07:24.streets were partially under water as trains felt the strain.
:07:24. > :07:30.Hurricane Irene has left her mark on Manhattan. It could have been
:07:30. > :07:34.worse. Gradually, New Yorkers emerged to take a look, some had
:07:34. > :07:40.ignored the order to abandon their homes. It is hard to tell my
:07:40. > :07:50.husband what to do. Mandatory evacuation, OK, let's make this a
:07:50. > :07:56.beautiful day. You ignored it? we went about our business.
:07:56. > :07:59.many others further south are counting the cost in dollars and in
:07:59. > :08:04.human life. When a falling tree crashed through this apartment
:08:04. > :08:09.block in Virginia, an 11-year-old boy inside stood no chance.
:08:09. > :08:15.Officially, Hurricane Irene is now with tropical storm, but she will
:08:15. > :08:18.live long in the memory. The eye of the storm has passed through New
:08:18. > :08:22.York and the mayor has said about an hour from now the evacuation
:08:22. > :08:28.order will be lifted. Hurricane will move through New England
:08:28. > :08:32.before breaking up over Canada this evening. It did not wreak the
:08:32. > :08:35.Armageddon scenarios some officials had feared but Hurricane Irene has
:08:35. > :08:41.left a trail of destruction that will cost billions of dollars to
:08:41. > :08:44.put right. The British Army is reported to have been cleared of
:08:44. > :08:48.systematically torturing civilians in the aftermath of the invasion of
:08:48. > :08:51.Iraq in 2003. The Sunday Telegraph says an inquiry into the death of a
:08:51. > :08:54.hotel worker, Baha Mousa, has found no evidence of widespread abuse and
:08:54. > :09:04.murder. But individual soldiers will be criticised. Jon Brain
:09:04. > :09:04.
:09:04. > :09:08.reports. Baha Mousa was in a cut seat of the
:09:08. > :09:12.British Army for less than 48 hours. In that time, the hotel
:09:12. > :09:19.receptionist suffered 90 separate injuries before dying of
:09:19. > :09:25.asphyxiation. He was one of a number of Iraqis seen in this video
:09:25. > :09:28.being verbally abused while hooded and inbound, stressed positions.
:09:28. > :09:32.According to the Sunday Telegraph, the three-year inquiry into the
:09:32. > :09:37.death will clear the Army of systematic torture and abuse.
:09:37. > :09:41.Instead, it says it will criticise the conduct of individual soldiers
:09:41. > :09:47.and highlight numerous failures in the army's chain of command.
:09:47. > :09:50.Critics say, if true, it is a huge disappointment. The issues that
:09:50. > :09:54.there is an abuse of human rights committed by the Army within the
:09:55. > :09:59.knowledge of the Army, within the system, this cannot continue.
:09:59. > :10:03.Supporters of the Army claimed the vast majority of British troops in
:10:03. > :10:07.Iraq conducted themselves with professionalism and decency. This
:10:07. > :10:11.is a leaked report, it is not official. The Army has taken
:10:11. > :10:17.extensive action to try to mitigate against such a thing ever happening
:10:17. > :10:22.again. You cannot stop it entirely. The Ministry of Defence will not
:10:22. > :10:25.comment until the report is published but it does describe the
:10:25. > :10:30.treatment of Baha Mousa as a shameful and inexcusable. Officials
:10:30. > :10:40.insist lessons have been learned and they say the inquiry's
:10:40. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:45.recommendations will be studied carefully.
:10:45. > :10:48.It's been confirmed that a total of 24 so-called "free schools", set up
:10:48. > :10:51.by parents, faith groups and others, will open in England for the start
:10:51. > :10:54.of the new school year. The government says the state-funded
:10:54. > :10:56.schools, which are outside local authority control, will drive up
:10:56. > :11:01.standards. Critics, including teachers' unions, fear they will
:11:01. > :11:05.take pupils and resources away from other schools.
:11:05. > :11:11.It has been a middle school and college, but now it will be a free
:11:11. > :11:15.school. 49 children will be here. Not only will it be Bradford's
:11:15. > :11:21.latest primary but, like all free schools, it will be independent of
:11:21. > :11:27.local authority control. When the centre of inner-city Bradford, for
:11:27. > :11:31.the past 25 years, the state education system has failed us, we
:11:31. > :11:38.will definitely reform that and bring about positive change for the
:11:38. > :11:42.children of this area. This primary won't be alone, there will be a
:11:42. > :11:46.second free school, both in inner- city Bradford. What is happening in
:11:46. > :11:50.Bradford is exactly what the government wants, parents and
:11:50. > :11:57.communities taking charge of their children's education in some of the
:11:57. > :12:00.most deprived areas, to raise standards. Not every community is
:12:00. > :12:05.getting a free school. There are only five in the north of England,
:12:05. > :12:10.a handful in the Midlands. Half of the 24 free schools will be in the
:12:10. > :12:15.south. The largest number in London. Some believe they are divisive and
:12:15. > :12:20.a necessary. As any child start a new school, one would want them to
:12:20. > :12:24.have the best opportunities they can. It is our view those are
:12:24. > :12:29.provided by the existing state comprehensive schools and we can
:12:29. > :12:33.see that from the fat results have improved in these schools at GCSE
:12:33. > :12:37.and A-level year on year. In a few weeks, free schools will open their
:12:38. > :12:43.doors to children, the change is a worry to some. The government
:12:43. > :12:47.believes it is time to trust parents to get it right. Here's
:12:47. > :12:50.Francis Collings with today's sport. What a day for both Manchester
:12:50. > :12:54.football teams. And a collective hammering for north London.

:15:28. > :15:33.dismissing his rival's chances on the start-line. Then, this happened.
:15:33. > :15:38.COMMENTATOR: Of a false start, Usain Bolt. His bid to retain his
