At least three people have been killed and more than 1,000 injured

during violent clashes in the Egyptian capital. Protestors

:00:56.:01:00.

attacked the Israeli embassy with hammers and iron bars. Egyptian

:01:00.:01:04.

commandos were brought in to rescue staff from the building. The

:01:04.:01:06.

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the attack

:01:06.:01:11.

inflicted a "severe injury to the fabric of peace with Israel". Our

:01:21.:01:22.

Correspondent, Jonathan Head sent this report from Cairo.

:01:22.:01:26.

Peace with Israel has always been unpopular with much of the Egyptian

:01:26.:01:31.

public. With Hosni Mubarak gone, they can show it. As so often in

:01:31.:01:35.

the new Egypt, its forces were unable to control the crowd that

:01:36.:01:42.

converged on the Israeli embassy. It was an embarrassing lapse of

:01:42.:01:47.

security. More than that, it was a direct challenge to the military

:01:47.:01:51.

rulers to until the deal with Israel that has defined their

:01:51.:01:55.

country's place in the world for more than 30 years. I did not care

:01:55.:02:00.

about the risks he said, I was ready to die to pull down that flag.

:02:00.:02:05.

The morning after, and the embassy was secured. But by now it was

:02:05.:02:10.

empty. And the Egyptian flag had replaced the Star of David. That

:02:10.:02:16.

did not stop some from having another go. The fear they once

:02:16.:02:22.

fells of the soldiers, is no longer there. Seven months after the

:02:22.:02:26.

revolution, Egyptians are angry and they are angry about a lot more

:02:26.:02:30.

than Israel. These are Teachers protesting about collapsing living

:02:31.:02:34.

standards. There was so much frustration in the country, Israel

:02:34.:02:41.

will always be a tempting target. Some of these teachers earn just

:02:41.:02:49.

�50 a month. The no wonder they are upset. If Egypt's new leaders

:02:49.:02:52.

cannot satisfy the hunger for change, the Democratic transition

:02:52.:02:56.

could be a rough one. Anti-Gaddafi fighters say they've

:02:56.:02:59.

entered Bani Walid, one of only four places still under the control

:02:59.:03:02.

of the ousted colonel's supporters. They've been meeting stiff

:03:02.:03:06.

resistance and fighters say there's street-to-street fighting. It's

believed it could take several days to secure the town. Our World

Affairs Correspondent, Andrew Harding, is outside Bani Walid.

:03:21.:03:24.

Reinforcements heading for Bani Walid, in what just might be one of

:03:24.:03:31.

the last battles of Libya's long rebellion. These and C Gaddafi

:03:31.:03:34.

fighters believe his sons might be in the town. They are not allowed

:03:34.:03:40.

to advance any further. We have come to the edge of Bani Walid. And

:03:40.:03:45.

there is fierce fighting ahead of us. Colonel Gaddafi HBOS forces are

:03:45.:03:51.

putting up a much more fiercer resistance and his men had hoped.

:03:51.:03:56.

The doctors have been very busy. Some of these men have relatives

:03:56.:04:00.

trapped inside the town. It makes the sort of attacking it very

:04:00.:04:04.

difficult. It is horrible, actually.

:04:04.:04:11.

Especially from injured people from the rocket launchers and stuff.

:04:11.:04:16.

Suddenly, we are under fire. The Colonel Gaddafi does not seem to be

:04:16.:04:22.

running short of ammunition. His enemies insist the town will fall

:04:22.:04:25.

imminently. The have managed a group themselves

:04:25.:04:29.

and push forward today. They have made good progress. They are taking

:04:29.:04:34.

territory? They are taking the gate of the city and the entrance of it

:04:34.:04:40.

and they have taken a large section of a residential area. These

:04:40.:04:45.

fighters have not yet surrounded the town. But the hope is still is

:04:45.:04:51.

that Colonel Gaddafi's bitter end as well make a way, rather than

:04:51.:04:55.

make a last stand here. More than 190 people drowned when a

:04:55.:04:57.

Tanzanian ferry overloaded with passengers sank off the island of

:04:57.:05:03.

Zanzibar in east Africa. Over 1,000 people were on board - many were

:05:03.:05:07.

children. The boat capsized at night hampering rescue efforts.

:05:07.:05:10.

Latest reports say more than 600 survived. The government has

:05:10.:05:16.

announced three days of mourning for the victims.

:05:16.:05:18.

Ceremonies marking the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks are

:05:18.:05:22.

taking place in the United States. At the Pentagon, a wreath was laid,

:05:22.:05:27.

in memory of the 184 people who died there. In his weekly address

:05:27.:05:29.

to the nation, President Obama vowed to continue the fight against

:05:29.:05:32.

international terror and said the US was stronger a decade on from

:05:32.:05:42.
:05:42.:05:46.

9/11. Jon Sopel is at Ground Zero. President Obama Willie the nation

:05:46.:05:50.

tomorrow in remembering the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives

:05:50.:05:55.

10 years ago. With the memorial behind me being opened for the

:05:55.:05:59.

first times the two families of the victims. They have been other

:05:59.:06:04.

ceremonies to pay tribute to those who died.

:06:04.:06:08.

A solemn moment for the former President, George Bush and his wife

:06:08.:06:14.

at the Pentagon. Remembering those killed here on 9/11. It was a day

that changed his presidency. And Al-Qaeda piloted plane slammed into

the symbol of America's military might. The benches are memorial to

:06:28.:06:33.

the 184 victims, the youngest was only three. As New York prepares

:06:33.:06:37.

the to remember those killed here, the police presence has intensified

:06:37.:06:42.

in response to what US officials say is a credible threat. American

:06:42.:06:47.

media are reporting Al-Qaeda plotter to get two US citizens to

:06:47.:06:53.

detonate car bombs. The President says America won't be intimidated.

:06:53.:07:01.

As Americans refuse to live in fear. BS, we face are determined foe and

:07:01.:07:05.

they are determined. But we will remain vigilant. In Manhattan a

:07:06.:07:10.

flak flies for every person who perished on 9/11. Tomorrow,

:07:10.:07:14.

President's past and present were set aside their differences at four

:07:15.:07:24.

morning, as the nation reflects on the devastating attacks 10 years on.

:07:24.:07:28.

There is tight security at ground zero. It has become even tighter,

:07:28.:07:32.

following the credible and specific Al-Qaeda threat the authorities say

:07:32.:07:36.

they have received. Road blocks have been set up and security has

:07:36.:07:39.

been tightened on bridges and tunnels to ensure tomorrow's

:07:39.:07:44.

anniversary passes without incident. From ground zero, back to the

:07:44.:07:47.

studio. Northern Ireland's Deputy First

:07:47.:07:49.

Minster, Martin McGuinness, has called on his Sinn Fein party

:07:49.:07:52.

colleagues to, as he put it, "love" Unionists. Speaking at the Sinn

:07:52.:07:55.

Fein party conference in Belfast, Mr McGuinness said Republicans need

:07:55.:08:00.

to reach out to Unionists in order to cement the peace process.

:08:00.:08:03.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 22-

:08:03.:08:07.

year-old mother and her baby son died in a house fire overnight, in

:08:07.:08:11.

Chatham in Kent. Three other people are being treated in hospital. One

:08:11.:08:13.

suffered serious burns and is said to be in a life-threatening

:08:13.:08:19.

condition. It's believed all five people came from the same family.

:08:19.:08:22.

England and Scotland have played their opening games of the Rugby

:08:22.:08:26.

World Cup in New Zealand, with both sides leaving it late to come from

:08:26.:08:29.

behind and win. England trailed Argentina for much of their match

:08:29.:08:33.

but clung on to win 13-9. And Scotland rallied to beat Romania

:08:33.:08:43.

34-24, as Joe Wilson reports. Wearing black they say is

:08:43.:08:51.

flattering, but this was embarrassing. Two offsides and

:08:51.:08:55.

another one there. England irritated the referee and gave away

:08:55.:08:59.

so many penalties, Argentina only had to succeed with a few of them.

:08:59.:09:03.

In the last World Cup Argentina were sensational. England could not

:09:03.:09:09.

find a way through. Of the rare times they ran towards Argentina,

:09:09.:09:13.

the defence stood up. There was great spec -- respect Argentina's

:09:13.:09:19.

tenacity. Into the second half, England needed kicks, five

:09:19.:09:24.

penalties missed. That really was Jonny Wilkinson. 13 minutes left

:09:24.:09:29.

England 9-3 down, and a flash of information -- inspiration from Ben

:09:29.:09:34.

young. That try converted plus a penalty gave England the game by

:09:34.:09:38.

just four points. In some ways, Scotland's victory over Romania was

:09:38.:09:44.

even more nerve-racking. Romania ranked 17 in the world shoved of

:09:44.:09:48.

the Scotland scrum into the ground. They let the game with just 12

:09:48.:09:52.

minutes to go. To their credit Scollan's response was swift and

:09:52.:09:57.

direct. With time running out they stepped it up. Two late tries and
