Gaddafi's forces to give up, fighters close in on Bani Walid.

:00:25.:00:29.

There is fierce fighting going on just ahead of us, up there, and

:00:29.:00:33.

Colonel Gaddafi's forces are putting up a fierce resistance than

:00:33.:00:38.

these men had expected. Also tonight, remembering the

:00:38.:00:44.

victims of 9/11. Former presidents join relatives at the scene in

:00:44.:00:48.

Pennsylvania, where Flight 93 came down.

:00:48.:00:52.

When the sun rose in the Pennsylvania Sky 10 years ago

:00:52.:00:58.

tomorrow, it was a piece for September morning. By the time it

:00:58.:01:05.

said, nearly 3000 people were gone. And, as a winning start for England

and Scotland at the Rugby World Cup Good evening.

:01:24.:01:28.

The head of Libya's at National Transitional Council has arrived in

:01:28.:01:31.

Tripoli for the first time since Colonel Gaddafi was driven from

:01:31.:01:35.

power. He was mobbed by supporters, who described it as a defining

:01:35.:01:39.

moment for the country. The deadline has passed for forces

:01:39.:01:42.

loyal to Colonel Gaddafi to lay down their weapons. There has been

:01:42.:01:52.
:01:52.:01:54.

fierce fighting around one of his last show on colds. -- strongholds.

:01:54.:01:58.

He is the leader of an unelected government, but that does not seem

:01:58.:02:03.

to diminish his popularity. After many days of waiting, Mustafa Abdul

:02:03.:02:10.

Jalil finally flew into Tripoli, and a hero's welcome. The task the

:02:10.:02:14.

new leader's face is immense. Definitely, it is a joyful moment,

:02:14.:02:18.

an historic moment for the whole country, not only the citizens of

:02:18.:02:26.

Tripoli. Everybody is very happy. A new chapter has just been opened up,

:02:26.:02:34.

here in the capital of Libya. far from the lecherous life Colonel

:02:34.:02:40.

Gaddafi's chosen son was used to. - - luxurious life. But this is where

:02:40.:02:45.

Saif Al-Islam hit as his father's empire was crumbling, the training

:02:50.:02:55.

Including plans for the defence of Tripoli. His men were well armed,

:02:55.:03:01.

there are receipts for nearly 150 weapons. Finding those who hid here

:03:01.:03:09.

is important unfinished business in a country still in transition. We

:03:09.:03:14.

met a friend of the family, who says they are safe and well, and

:03:14.:03:18.

ready to carry on fighting. There is also fear for those who day to

:03:18.:03:23.

support the old regime. I was talking with Saeed Al Islam, and he

:03:23.:03:30.

said, do not be scared, everything will be OK. I said, everybody is

:03:30.:03:34.

attacking be, they want to kill me. He said, everything will be OK.

:03:34.:03:39.

Although NATO's task is almost over, and the destruction in some areas

:03:39.:03:43.

is pretty complete, the pressure is now on the interim government to

:03:43.:03:47.

move the process forward, to bring some sense of closure to the Libyan

:03:47.:03:54.

people. Today, fresh intelligence on those who did Gaddafi's bigging

:03:54.:03:59.

was found. The secrets of the past are being unearthed, and the hunt

:03:59.:04:04.

for the enemies of the new state goes on. When this is done can the

:04:04.:04:12.

fighters declare victory, and get on with rebuilding Libya.

:04:12.:04:15.

And T Colonel Gaddafi fighters said they had entered Bani Walid. It has

:04:15.:04:19.

one of the few places still under control of the ousted Colonel's

:04:19.:04:29.
:04:29.:04:33.

supporters. There are reports of Reinforcements heading for Bani

:04:33.:04:37.

Walid, what just might be one of the last battles of Libya's long

:04:37.:04:41.

rebellion. These anti- Gaddafi fighters believed the Colonel's

:04:41.:04:46.

sons may be in the town. They are not allowed to advance any further.

:04:46.:04:50.

We have come to the edge of Bani Walid, there is fierce fighting

:04:50.:04:55.

going on ahead of us. Colonel Gaddafi's forces inside the town

:04:55.:04:58.

are putting up much fiercer resistance and these men had

:04:58.:05:06.

expected, and the ambulances are keeping very busy. Some of these

:05:06.:05:09.

men have relatives trapped inside the town. It makes the thought of

:05:09.:05:15.

attacking it difficult. It is horrible, actually. Especially

:05:15.:05:23.

injured people from the rocket launchers and stuff. Suddenly, we

:05:23.:05:26.

are under fire. Colonel Gaddafi does not seem to be running short

:05:26.:05:33.

of ammunition. His enemies insist the town will fall imminently.

:05:33.:05:36.

have managed to prove themselves and push forward again today, they

:05:36.:05:41.

have made good progress. They are taking territory, they have taken

:05:41.:05:46.

the gate of the city, and they have taken a large section of a

:05:46.:05:53.

residential area. These fighters have not yet surrounded the town.

:05:53.:05:58.

The hope still is that Colonel Gaddafi's bitter Enders will melt

the risks, said this man. I was ready to die to pull down the flag.

:06:58.:07:02.

Hours later, the army had secured the embassy. But by then, it was

:07:02.:07:07.

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

:07:07.:07:13.

did not stop some from having another go. Public sentiment now

:07:13.:07:16.

threatened the 30-year-old peace treaty. The Israeli Prime Minister

:07:16.:07:22.

said it should stay. TRANSLATION: Israel will continue to hold the

:07:22.:07:26.

peace accord with Egypt. We are working with the Egyptian

:07:26.:07:30.

more than just Israel. These are teachers, protesting about

Israel will always be a tempting target. Some of these teachers and

just �50 a month. No wonder they are upset. Not able to meet their

:08:03.:08:06.

demands for change, the government is struggling to maintain basic

:08:06.:08:10.

order. But it has promised that protecting foreign embassies will

:08:10.:08:18.

now be a top priority. More than 190 people have drowned

:08:18.:08:22.

when a Tanzanian ferry overloaded with passengers sank off the island

:08:22.:08:27.

of Zanzibar. Over 1000 people were on board, many were children. The

:08:27.:08:31.

boat capsized at night, hampering rescue efforts. More than 600

:08:32.:08:37.

people survived. The Government has announced three days of mourning.

:08:37.:08:42.

Memorial events have begun in the United States to mark 10 years

:08:42.:08:46.

since the September 11th attacks. In his weekly address, Barack Obama

:08:46.:08:50.

vowed to continue the fight against international terror, and said the

:08:50.:09:00.
:09:00.:09:01.

USA was stronger a decade on from Those commemorations have already

started, and they will take centre- stage here tomorrow. Earlier,

:09:06.:09:10.

former presidents, including George Bush and Bill Clinton, attended a

:09:10.:09:16.

memorial at Shanksville, the scene where hijacked Flight 93 crashed

:09:16.:09:20.

after passengers overpowered the hijackers. President Bush had this

:09:20.:09:27.

to say. The most likely target was the

:09:27.:09:31.

United States capital. We will not know how many innocent lives might

:09:31.:09:36.

have been lost, but we do know that Americans are alive today because

:09:36.:09:41.

the passengers and crew of Flight 93 chose to act, and animation will

:09:41.:09:46.

be forever grateful. -- our nation.

:09:46.:09:50.

We have been hearing the stories of those bereaved by 9/11, and those

:09:50.:09:56.

of survivors and those caught up in the horrific events. My colleague

:09:56.:10:00.

was in the South Tower at the time of the attack. He has been back to

:10:00.:10:04.

reflect on the day and how it has changed New York.

:10:04.:10:10.

The Twin Towers dominated the New York skyline. At 8:46am on the

:10:10.:10:16.

bright blue morning, the image was shattered. 10 years ago, I was on

:10:16.:10:20.

the ground floor of the South Tower, waiting to go to a meeting. I had

:10:20.:10:24.

intended to go to the windows on the World restaurant on the top of

:10:24.:10:28.

the North Tower, but decided to have a coffee on the way. A lucky

:10:28.:10:36.

delay. I could see the image come across my vision. Construction

:10:36.:10:41.

worker Andy Sullivan was there that morning as well. A massive

:10:41.:10:47.

explosion, like a huge axe having been taken out of the side of the

:10:47.:10:53.

building. At 9:02am, the second plane hit the South Tower. Joining

:10:53.:11:02.

us now, Steve Evans. He was in the building. What can you tell us?

:11:02.:11:06.

are running away quickly, there are more explosions further down the

:11:06.:11:11.

building. I brought my camera to my eye to take pictures, and I ran for

:11:11.:11:16.

my life. David Handschuh was a press photographer. He took this

:11:16.:11:21.

picture before he was buried and then rescued. 10 years on, images

:11:21.:11:27.

remain. The sight of people who felt that jumping to their death

:11:27.:11:32.

was a better option than burning alive, 90 floors of, the bodies

:11:32.:11:36.

falling at, that will always be left in my mind. I was doing an

:11:36.:11:41.

interview when the second tower collapsed. People were talking to

:11:41.:11:51.
:11:51.:11:52.

Oh, my God! We have got to go! huge amount has changed since I

:11:52.:11:57.

stood on the spot 10 years ago. What was the straw it is being

:11:57.:12:01.

rebuilt. Morning could be used for nearly 3000 people who died, but

:12:01.:12:07.

the man behind the talk is now gone. Two was followed, expensive wars in

:12:07.:12:12.

terms of blood and lives and also in terms of finance. Those costs

:12:12.:12:19.

are still being paid. At Ground Zero, a fire trucks destroyed on

:12:19.:12:25.

the day has been lowered into the new museum. September 11th, 2001

:12:25.:12:30.

changed the lives of ordinary New Yorkers. The dead are still mourned.

:12:30.:12:35.

10 years on, there is still about rage, a quiet anger among those who

:12:35.:12:42.

were there. Today's rebuilding it cannot and do that.

:12:42.:12:48.

-- undo that. The eyes of the world will be on

:12:48.:12:51.

America tomorrow as President Barack Obama leads the

:12:51.:12:55.

commemorations to the most deadly terrorist attack in history. And

:12:55.:12:59.

not the police and security services, there is deep anxiety

:12:59.:13:02.

after the interception of a threat from al-Qaeda. Their concern is

:13:03.:13:12.
:13:13.:13:15.

that tomorrow's events should pass Now, the sport.

:13:15.:13:18.

England and Scotland kicked off their that the World Cup campaigns

:13:18.:13:22.

with wins, but neither were convincing. Scotland had to rely on

:13:22.:13:26.

a late fightback to beat Romania, while England struggled to a 13-9

:13:26.:13:32.

victory over Argentina. Jonny Wilkinson missed five penalties.

:13:32.:13:36.

Wearing black, they say, is flattering, but this was

:13:36.:13:41.

embarrassing. We have had three penalties in four minutes. Massive

:13:41.:13:46.

improvement. England irritated the referee, and Argentina only had to

:13:46.:13:51.

succeed with a few penalties to build a lead. Argentina was

:13:51.:13:56.

sensational in the last World Cup. England could not find their way

:13:56.:14:00.

through. The rare times they ran towards them, the defence stood up,

:14:00.:14:05.

even in the melee, there was great respect for Argentina's tenacity.

:14:05.:14:11.

Into the second half, England needed kicks. Five penalties missed.

:14:11.:14:17.

That really was Jonny Wilkinson! England were still down. A flash of

:14:17.:14:23.

inspiration from Ben Youngs. That try converted, plus a penalty, gave

:14:23.:14:29.

England the game by four points. In some ways, Scotland's victory over

:14:29.:14:35.

Romania was even more nerve-racking. Romania shoved the Scotland scrum

:14:35.:14:42.

into the ground and scored a try to lead the game with 12 minutes to go.

:14:42.:14:46.

Scotland's response was swift and direct. They stepped it up. Two

:14:46.:14:53.

Lake tries from Simon Danielli, and they won 34-24. But their players

:14:53.:14:59.

conceded it was a victory that felt a bit like a defeat.

:14:59.:15:03.

Match Of the Day is on BBC One later, so if you do not want to

:15:03.:15:12.

know the Premier League scores, Arsenal 1 for the first time in the

:15:12.:15:18.

league this season. Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick, as did much as

:15:18.:15:28.

the City's Sergio Aguero. -- as did Manchester City's Sergio Aguero.

:15:38.:15:39.

Rangers are top of the table. The final Flat racing classic of

:15:39.:15:44.

the season, based in a ledger, was won by Masked Marvel at Doncaster.

:15:44.:15:50.

The 15-2 shot finished first on a memorable afternoon for its trainer,

:15:50.:15:55.

John Gosden. 40 minutes later, he celebrated a classic double, when

:15:55.:16:00.

another horse was the joint winner of the Irish St Leger.

:16:00.:16:03.

Sebastian Vettel will start on pole position for the 10th time this

:16:03.:16:08.

season at the Italian Grand Prix. The leader of the champion should

:16:08.:16:11.

save his quickest lap and will last. He pushed Lewis Hamilton into

:16:11.:16:18.

second place. Jenson Button will start from third on the grid.
