Opposition forces in Libya close in on one of Colonel Gaddafi's last | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
strongholds. Hundreds of anti- Gaddafi fighters are on the | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
outskirts of the town, preparing for an attack. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
The frontrunner for leader of the Scottish Conservatives says he | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
wants to split from the UK party if he's voted in. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
I think there is real interest in creating a modern centre-right | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
party that will broaden its appeal and attract many people who share | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
our values. The former IMF boss arrives home in | :00:38. | :00:41. | |

Korea, winning the 5,000m in the Opposition fighters in Libya are | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
now within a few kilometres of one of Colonel Gaddafi's last | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
strongholds. Negotiations are under way with Gaddafi loyalists still | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
believed to be controlling the town of Bani Walid, south-east of | :01:24. | :01:33. | |
Tripoli. The BBC has learned of evidence that his son fled the town | :01:33. | :01:43. | |
:01:43. | :01:47. | ||
yesterday. They certainly have the passion. They have the political | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
power and the guns. But they don't control all of Libya yet. Bani | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Walid is just down this road and it is still under the control of | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Gaddafi's men. Talks have been under way for days for a peaceful | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
takeover but this is sensitive work because intelligence about the | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
:02:15. | :02:18. | ||
whereabouts of the colonels sons lie in the town. When did Saif Al- | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
Islam lead? Yesterday. He went to the south. Military commanders say | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
it is possible for anyone to escape the town of Bani Walid. They are | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
going to give negotiations one more go, and if they fail they will get | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
into their trucks and take Bani Walid by force. In many ways, Bani | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Walid has little strategic value, but the new national army must now | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
consolidate its hold a ball of Libya if it is to form an effective | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
government. The revolution is almost complete, but not quite over | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
yet. Within the last hour, the | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
opposition authorities have said that one of Kidder -- Colonel | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
Gaddafi's sons has been killed. What have you been hearing, John? | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
The opposition say they can confirm what has been reported for a few | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
days now, and they are certain that Khamis Gaddafi was killed when | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
fighting outside of Tripoli a few days ago and his body was buried in | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
Bani Walid. Khamis Gaddafi led this military brigade, one of Colonel | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Gaddafi's elite military units, a unit notorious for its brutality, | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
so there will be great rejoicing among many Libyans about his demise. | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
The reason they have been able to confirm this information is because | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
they are saying they already have control of parts of Bani Walid. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
They are confident that, whether through negotiations or through an | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
all-out assault, they will have control of the Bani Walid in the | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
coming hours. The front-runner for the leadership | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
of the Scottish Conservatives, Murdo Fraser, has called on his | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
party to break away from their colleagues in Westminster. He says | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
the creation of a new centre-right party with a distinct Scottish | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
identity working in partnership with the Conservatives would | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
attract more voters. The idea is for the Scottish | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Conservative Party to change its name and logo, make all its own | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
decisions, and rebrand as something else. I think there is real | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
interest in creating a modern progressive centre-right party that | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
will broaden its appeal and attract many people who share our values | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
but don't want to vote for the current Conservative Party. There | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
was a time when the Scottish Tories did better. In the mid-50s they had | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
a majority of votes and MPs in Scotland. By the 90s, there were | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
only 11 Conservative MPs, and in 1997 they were wiped out. They have | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
never had more than one Scottish MP at any time since. Murdo Fraser | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
thinks any independent Scottish party would do better in elections | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
to both Westminster and the Scottish parliament, but that does | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
not mean he supports an independent Scotland. In fact he plans to fight | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
the SNP's proposals to take Scotland out of the UK. But one | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
rival leadership candidate fears a breakaway party would play into | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
nationalist hands. I think this is the wrong decision. Alex Salmond | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
must be the happiest man in Scotland right now. We take our | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
party forward by talking to Scotland about what matters, not by | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
talking amongst ourselves. Education Secretary told Andrew | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Marr cabinet ministers like him would keep out of the debate. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
of the things I have learned as a politician from Scotland but | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
representing an English constituency is that the reality of | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
devolution means you should allow the party in Scotland to determine | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
its own destiny. The makeover a loan may not be enough to turn | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
around Scottish Tory fortunes, but in this Edinburgh beauty salon | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
there was little doubt the party needs a new image. I don't think | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
they are viewed very well in Scotland, they are more of an | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
English party. David Cameron once apologised for his party's legacy | :06:43. | :06:52. | |
in Scotland. When he was with the Queen this weekend, he wondered if | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
the new party would fare better. A 21 year-old man has been arrested | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
in connection with the murder of two women in Oxfordshire. Their | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
bodies were discovered at a property in Thame this morning. The | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
details of their relationship had not been revealed. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
The former Chancellor Alistair Darling has spoken of how his | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
relationship with Gordon Brown got progressively worse as the then | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
prime minister tried to replace him in 2008. The former Labour minister | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
has been speaking to the BBC in his first broadcast interview since | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
parts of his memoirs emerged. He was the softly-spoken Chancellor | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
in charge of the Treasury throughout the financial crisis. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
For the cameras, he and Gordon Brown were close, but with scores | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
to settle and a book to sell, Alistair Darling has denounced the | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
former prime minister and a regime he describes as brutal. He said on | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
occasion Gordon Brown's behaviour was appalling. I don't mind him | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
attacking the Tories, but what is so debilitating is when Euro lot | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
are doing it to you. Mr Darling said his relationship with Gordon | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Brown was strained beyond breaking point, and he wanted to be more | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
candid about the need for cuts than Gordon Brown was apparently willing | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
to be. At the time, reports of feuds and fight in the government | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
were dismissed as tittle-tattle by Number 10. In fact, Alistair | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Darling is the latest witness to describe the poisonous atmosphere | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
and serious disagreements about how to handle the financial crisis. For | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
Labour, this is painful history, but Alistair Darling has advice for | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
the present government as well. The Bank of England and its current | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
governor come in for some criticism. Darling says the bank was slow to | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
recognise the scale of the crisis and believes it is badly structured. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
The present government wants to make the Bank of England | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
responsible for interest rates, and also for the supervision of banks, | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
and also it has this overall responsibility for ironing out the | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
peaks and troughs of the economic cycle. That is a lot to invest in | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
one person. Speaking earlier today, Gordon Brown said he was not going | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
to get into politics, but the memoirs describe the time the | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
Conservatives will try to focus on and Labour's new leadership will | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
want to forget. The former head of the | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, his back in | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
France for the first time since the collapse of the sexual assault case | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
which cost him his job. He was accompanied by his wife. This | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
report contains flash photography. When he left France for months ago, | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
Dominique Strauss-Kahn was basking in the warmth of public support, a | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
big favourite for next year's presidential election. Today he | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
returned a very different figure in the eyes of the French public. The | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
charges dropped, but his political career in shreds. Among supporters, | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
there is still hope that one day he can return to frontline politics. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
He is a very competent man. He has great international experience. He | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
was a very good minister, and you know the talented people in | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
politics are not so numerous. it was not a hero's welcome. For | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
many, this lasting image of the elder statesman handcuffed, | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
dishevelled and disgraced, has brought inexcusable shame on the | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
French nation. Politicians are forever reinventing themselves but | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
so much has been written and alleged in recent months that a | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
quick political comeback seems unlikely. Four out of five French | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
people recently said they would not want him as their president, 61% | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
said they would not want to see him in a future Socialist cabinet. He | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
still faces the allegations of attempted rape made by French or | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
other Tristan Banon, allegations he denies. Dominique Strauss-Kahn may | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
have won his freedom but in New York he lost his dignity, and in | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
French politics it is not so easily recovered. | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
With news from the last day of the world athletics and the rest of the | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
sport, over to Sean Fletcher. The world championships ended on a high | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
for the British team with Mo Farah winning the gold in the 5000 metres, | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
the first time a British athlete has won a World event. It helped | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Great Britain to 6th place in the overall medals table. | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
Mo Farah, Somalia and born, but tonight Britain's first ever world | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
champion in an event which has over the years become a victory | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
procession for Africans. A week on from his heartbreaking defeat in | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
the 10,000 metres, he celebrated with his family redemption over | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
half the distance. No doubt the medal will have felt double the | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
value. Like last Sunday, Mo Farah kicked for home with one lap to go. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
He said his coach had told him to relax and run like a sprinter. This | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
time there was to be no ambush on the line. His speed was too much | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
for the opposition. It feels Lawson to have that gold medal. I came so | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
close before. I can't quite believe it. A defending world triple jump | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
champion Phillips Idowu looked like adding a second gold for Britain. | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
Despite producing his best jump of the year he had to settle behind | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
Christian Taylor. I will take the silver medal. It was a tough | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
competition and my competitor only needed one jump to win. Sometimes | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
that is just the way it goes. the end of these world | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
championships, Britain had finished 6th in the world medal table with | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
two golds, four silvers and one bronze. In fact it is one gold more | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
than the head coach predicted. is an awesome performance for | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
British athletics. Not many times we have done better in the history | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
of British athletics so I am very pleased. Exceeded expectations? | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
never do expectations. We hit the target and that is more important | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
to me. The targets are set to get a platform for the London Games and | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
every time we hit it we are coming closer to success in London. | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
have all become accustomed to world records involving Usain Bolt, but | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
he kept us waiting until the very last race in Daegu, leading home | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
his Jamaican quartet in the relay it of the time of 37.04 seconds. | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
But even that could not overshadow another in -- impressive night for | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
Great Britain. Thanks to Mo Farah and Phillips Idowu, Great Britain | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
has exceeded its metal targets. The question now is whether they can do | :14:08. | :14:17. | |
even better in London next year. As England's footballers prepare to | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
take on Wales, Fabio Capello has received the news that Jack | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Wilshere will miss the rest of the Euro-campaign because of his ankle | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
injury. The midfielder is now expected to be out of action for | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
another two months. It is a blow for his club Arsenal, after Cesc | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
Fabregas and Samir Nasri left. There was further success for | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Britain's rowers on the final day of their World Championships in | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Slovenia. It included gold for men's lightweight double and | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
coxless four. A golden day for British rowing, | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
but especially for Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter. After a season | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
blighted by illness, it was nip and tuck they would even compete here, | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
but they edged out New Zealand for the grittiest of golds and you | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
could see what it meant. This season has been the worst we have | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
ever had. We have had problems, issues, but we showed we are unique | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
combination in the way we pay attention to detail and work on | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
things, and make the most out of everything we do together. Britain | :15:28. | :15:36. | |
finished top of the medals table here, Britain's four also storming | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
to the top of the table. The expectations for the Olympics could | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
not be higher. We have got to keep working hard, but it is the best | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
position we could be in at the moment. With a total of seven gold | :15:51. | :15:55. |
