:01:14. > :01:16.today the Libyan people must remember the agony of the past and
:01:16. > :01:19.choose a different path for the future. There are reports Colonel
:01:20. > :01:22.Gaddafi's body is to be handed back to his family, as controversy grows
:01:22. > :01:27.over the circumstances surrounding the former dictator's death. Ben

:01:32. > :01:36.Nations and Amnesty International are all calling on Libya's
:01:36. > :01:40.transitional rulers to provide a full and detailed account about the
:01:40. > :01:43.exact circumstances of how Colonel Gaddafi died. But the truth is many
:01:43. > :01:49.Libyans here really don't care that much. They're no longer looking to
:01:50. > :01:53.the past, they're looking to the future.
:01:53. > :01:57.In Martyrs' Square, wild celebrations this evening, anti-
:01:57. > :02:01.Gaddafi fighters and families alike dancing on the streets. It's a
:02:02. > :02:09.moment of history. The eve of the official declaration that this
:02:09. > :02:14.country has been liberated. We need to make freedom now. No more
:02:14. > :02:20.killing, no more blood. What do you feel about the idea of voting?
:02:20. > :02:24.looking forward to it. It's a very good idea. This is how we can show
:02:24. > :02:28.to the world that we are a free country and we want to be a
:02:28. > :02:32.democratic country. In Misrata, they've been queuing up to see the
:02:32. > :02:38.body of the late dictator, Colonel Gaddafi not so much lying in state,
:02:38. > :02:42.as lying in a cold storage unit. The National Transitional Council
:02:42. > :02:45.had promised his body will be handed over soon to his relatives
:02:45. > :02:51.so they can bury it. Some here would have preferred it if he had
:02:51. > :02:59.lived to face justice. I wish he was alive. I want to know why he
:02:59. > :03:04.did this to the Libyan people. I wish I were prosecutor in his trial,
:03:04. > :03:07.because this is the question in everybody's mind, why? Did the
:03:07. > :03:11.Libyan people deserve what he did throughout years of oppression, of
:03:11. > :03:15.killing of everything? For many of these people it's still sinking in
:03:15. > :03:18.that Colonel Gaddafi is dead, that four decades of dictatorship are
:03:18. > :03:23.finally over, and that pretty soon they'll be voting to elect a
:03:23. > :03:25.Government of their own choosing. And this is the path to democracy
:03:26. > :03:29.expected to be set out in tomorrow's declaration of
:03:29. > :03:33.liberation. A transitional Government to be
:03:33. > :03:37.formed within a month. Within eight months, elections to
:03:38. > :03:42.an Assembly that will appoint a Prime Minister who will in turn,
:03:42. > :03:45.nominate an interim Government. That will be in charge until
:03:45. > :03:50.presidential elections within about 18 months.
:03:50. > :03:55.After so much fighting, the guns have fallen silent and the hope now
:03:55. > :04:00.is that peace, democracy and freedom in Libya will finally
:04:00. > :04:04.blossom. There has been plenty of infighting
:04:04. > :04:08.and arguing among Libya's transitional rulers so far, and no
:04:08. > :04:12.doubt, there will be more in the months ahead but their challenge is
:04:12. > :04:14.to pull together now and stay together long enough to steer this
:04:14. > :04:23.country from dictatorship to democracy.
:04:23. > :04:25.Thank you. The Chancellor, George Osborne, has
:04:25. > :04:28.hailed a deal to strengthen Europe's banks as real progress. He
:04:28. > :04:31.was speaking following a meeting of EU finance ministers in Brussels.
:04:31. > :04:33.It's understood European banks will have to raise more than 100 billion
:04:33. > :04:36.euros to protect them against losses in heavily indebted
:04:36. > :04:40.countries. However, as our Europe editor Gavin Hewitt reports,
:04:40. > :04:46.there's still some way to go before a solution is found to the eurozone
:04:46. > :04:50.crisis. In Brussels, five days of meetings
:04:50. > :04:54.and summits have begun to fix the eurozone crisis. Europe's finance
:04:54. > :04:57.Ministers focused on how to strengthen and protect Europe's
:04:57. > :05:01.banks, after long hours of negotiating they reached
:05:01. > :05:06.provisional agreement that banks should raise at least 100 billion
:05:06. > :05:11.euros of new capital. We have had a ten-hour meeting but we have made
:05:11. > :05:15.real progress and we have come to important decisions on
:05:15. > :05:18.strengthening European banks. bargaining around the table was
:05:19. > :05:23.tough, some officials believed a much higher figure was needed to
:05:23. > :05:26.protect the banking system from bad loans to Greece and other countries.
:05:26. > :05:31.British banks will not have to build up their reserves. There is
:05:31. > :05:34.still, however, the question of how this new money will be raised. But
:05:34. > :05:39.the mood amongst the leaders arriving here tonight was more
:05:39. > :05:46.positive. TRANSLATION: I think the finance Ministers have
:05:46. > :05:50.made progress and we can really reach our goals by Wednesday. --
:05:50. > :05:53.Wednesday however hard discussions are. Why focus on banking? Partly
:05:54. > :05:58.the Greek crisis. Europe's leaders now accept that Greek debt has to
:05:58. > :06:04.be reduced, and that will involve banks taking losses, perhaps as
:06:04. > :06:08.much as 60%, although the banks have yet to agree to that. Tomorrow
:06:08. > :06:12.David Cameron will come to this building for a full summit. No one
:06:12. > :06:17.doubts that difficult talks lie ahead. President Sarkozy and
:06:17. > :06:21.Chancellor Merkel are having dinner here tonight trying to settle their
:06:21. > :06:25.differences over how to increase the firepower of the EU's main
:06:25. > :06:30.bail-out fund. They will also be discussing what to do about Greek
:06:30. > :06:35.debt, all complex issues, but important decisions were taken here
:06:35. > :06:40.today. Our business editor Robert Peston
:06:40. > :06:43.is here now. How well do you think this deal is going to be received,
:06:43. > :06:47.crucially, by the markets? European banks are being told they're going
:06:47. > :06:52.to have to raise up to 110 billion euros, it sounds like a lot of
:06:52. > :06:57.money, it is a lot of money, but it's about half what regulators
:06:57. > :07:01.originally thought the banks needed to raise to be properly
:07:01. > :07:05.strengthened against potential losses. So we are going to have to
:07:05. > :07:08.wait for the detail of how much individual banks will have to raise
:07:08. > :07:12.and how they're going to do that. What kind of help they're going to
:07:12. > :07:15.get from taxpayers, what kind of help they're going to get from the
:07:15. > :07:18.bail-out fund. For now the jury is out. Let's make no mistake, the
:07:18. > :07:24.eurozone crisis isn't over as a result of this deal, what more has
:07:24. > :07:29.to be done? It's only one element in a three-pronged strategy. As you
:07:29. > :07:33.heard Gavin say, private sector lenders, bank lenders to Greece are
:07:33. > :07:39.going to have to accept big reductions in what Greece pays them
:07:39. > :07:44.back and, crucially, a huge bail- out fund needs to be enlarged in
:07:44. > :07:49.terms of its financial firepower so if - and Italy runs out of money,
:07:49. > :07:53.there is money on tap available from the eurozone. Now, on both
:07:53. > :07:58.those absolutely vital elements of the rescue package there is no
:07:58. > :08:04.agreement yet about both either when - about how these deals are
:08:04. > :08:08.going to be put in place. I don't expect eurozone summits leaders to
:08:08. > :08:12.reach an agreement tomorrow, they have promised to reach an agreement
:08:12. > :08:22.by Wednesday. If they don't, we will be back into market meltdown
:08:22. > :08:25.territory. Thank you. People who drink should have two or
:08:25. > :08:28.three days without alcohol a week to avoid the risk of long-term
:08:28. > :08:30.damage, according to the Royal College of Physicians. Doctors say
:08:30. > :08:33.the current guidance on healthy drinking needs to be clarified.
:08:33. > :08:38.Fiona Trott reports. Pre-match drinks in Liverpool. Here
:08:38. > :08:44.only a few say they take a three- day break from booze. What do you
:08:44. > :08:48.think of this latest advice? Poppycock. Looking for attention.
:08:48. > :08:52.Sensationalism. It will be forgotten about in a few weeks.
:08:52. > :08:56.all depends if you can handle it. If you can't handle it you have to
:08:56. > :09:02.give your body a rest. Alcohol- related illness is set to cost the
:09:02. > :09:06.NHS around �3 billion a year. The special advisor on alcohol for the
:09:06. > :09:11.Royal College of Physicians says people need more clarification on
:09:11. > :09:15.what's safe. The Government came in with their guidelines in 1995
:09:15. > :09:18.suggesting four drinks a day for men, three for women. People
:09:18. > :09:23.immediately multiplied that by seven and said there's been an
:09:23. > :09:27.increase in safe limits but we said no, if you have a couple of days
:09:27. > :09:31.alcohol-free a week it comes out at the at the same limits and gives
:09:31. > :09:36.your body a rest. Back over the water in Liverpool city centre GPs
:09:36. > :09:40.break for coffee at their annual conference. But it's alcohol that
:09:40. > :09:43.they're talking about. And alcohol illness was one of the issues they
:09:43. > :09:48.put to the Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley. We are all very clear that
:09:49. > :09:52.we have got to reduce alcohol abuse and in this country we have two
:09:52. > :09:56.kinds of ways in which people abuse alcohol. One is binge drinking, far
:09:56. > :10:01.too much drink at one time. The other is chronic alcohol abuse and
:10:01. > :10:05.we need to act on both and we are acting on both. Many doctors
:10:05. > :10:15.believe that only pricing can solve the problem, if that issue was
:10:15. > :10:15.
:10:15. > :10:18.addressed, they say today's advice wouldn't be necessary.
:10:18. > :10:21.Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, has insisted that the days
:10:21. > :10:23.of Westminster politicians telling the Scottish what to do are over.
:10:23. > :10:26.Speaking at the SNP's annual conference, the first since their
:10:26. > :10:29.landslide election victory in May, he also indicated that a second
:10:29. > :10:32.option, short of full independence, would be on the ballot paper when
:10:32. > :10:38.they vote in a referendum on the future of the country. Our Scotland
:10:38. > :10:42.correspondent James Cook reports. Are these the dying days of the
:10:42. > :10:46.United Kingdom? The The Scottish National Party thinks so, within a
:10:46. > :10:51.decade they say an independent Scotland will stand as an equal
:10:51. > :10:56.alongside the nations of the world. But how to kill off the union? Alex
:10:56. > :10:59.Salmond's current referendum plan involves an insurance policy, one
:10:59. > :11:04.question on independence, and another on Edinburgh raising all
:11:04. > :11:09.its own taxes but leaving defence and foreign affairs with London.
:11:09. > :11:12.Fiscal responsibility, financial freedom, real economic power is a
:11:12. > :11:16.legitimate proposal. It could allow us to control our resources,
:11:16. > :11:22.introduce competitive business tax and fair personal taxation. All
:11:22. > :11:26.good, all necessary, but not enough. Only independence would be enough,
:11:26. > :11:33.he said. And his party would campaign full square for it.
:11:33. > :11:36.have the talent, the resources, the ingeneral aouity. The only
:11:36. > :11:41.limitations are imagination and ambition. So give Scotland the
:11:41. > :11:45.tools, put the people in charge and see our nation flourish as never
:11:45. > :11:49.before. That message of Scots deciding their own fate was
:11:49. > :11:54.hammered home. The days of Westminster politicians telling
:11:54. > :12:03.Scotland what to do or what to think are over. The Scottish people
:12:03. > :12:06.will set the agenda for the future. And so 80 years after the SNP was
:12:06. > :12:11.formed, they sense a moment of destiny. The delegates here believe
:12:11. > :12:21.that Alex Salmond is leading them on a march to freedom. All they
:12:21. > :12:22.
:12:22. > :12:24.have to do now is take the people of Scotland with them.
:12:24. > :12:27.The funeral of the Coronation Street actress Betty Driver has
:12:27. > :12:30.taken place in Manchester. Stars of the ITV soap joined family and
:12:30. > :12:33.friends for the service at St Ann's Church, while fans watched on a
:12:33. > :12:37.screen outside. The 91-year-old, who died a week ago, was the soap's
:12:37. > :12:41.longest serving barmaid. Katherine Downes reports.
:12:41. > :12:45.The hundreds outside Church today stood as proof that Betty Driver on
:12:45. > :12:49.screen and in reality was one of Coronation Street's best loved
:12:49. > :12:53.characters. She was the Rovers Return's longest serving barmaid,
:12:53. > :13:03.her funeral attended by friends and colleagues from a 42-year career on
:13:03. > :13:03.
:13:03. > :13:13.the cobbles. We will miss her. So very much. The Rovers will not be
:13:13. > :13:14.
:13:14. > :13:18.the same without her. Well, if anybody wants watching
:13:18. > :13:26.around here, Sonny boy, it's you. Betty was coaxed out of retirement
:13:26. > :13:29.to join the cast of Corrie. She had already had great success as a
:13:29. > :13:34.comic actor and singer, pushed on to the stage at the age of eight by
:13:34. > :13:38.her ambitious mother. As an actress she was brilliant. She was always
:13:39. > :13:44.spot on. And her love even came through that. As a person, always
:13:44. > :13:48.jolly, always jolly. Loved a bit of gossip. We will miss her. It's not
:13:48. > :13:51.the way we behave up north. Family and friends will remember the Betty
:13:51. > :13:56.they knew, millions will remember the character she played for over
:13:56. > :14:05.four decades, known for her straight talking and her legendry
:14:05. > :14:07.Lancashire hotpot. Sport now. There were five matches
:14:07. > :14:17.in the Barclays Premier League. Match of the Day follows this

:14:38. > :14:42.Scottish Premier League but one team emerged with a win.
:14:42. > :14:45.In just under 12 hours New Zealand will play hosts to France in the
:14:45. > :14:48.Rugby Union World Cup final. The All Blacks go into the match as
:14:48. > :14:50.strong favourites but also carry the weight of an expectant nation.
:14:50. > :14:56.Dan Roan reports from Auckland. They're the men on whose shoulers
:14:56. > :15:00.rest the hopes of an entire nation. These are the All Blacks, for
:15:00. > :15:03.almost a quarter of a century their predecessors have tried and failed
:15:03. > :15:09.to win rugby's greatest prize. Now on the eve of the biggest match in
:15:09. > :15:13.New Zealand's history they stand on the brink of sporting immortality.
:15:13. > :15:17.Having swept aside Australia the All Blacks, unbeaten here, are
:15:17. > :15:22.expected to win and win well against France in the biggest match
:15:22. > :15:27.of these players' lives is intense. The pressure is intense. Are you
:15:27. > :15:33.ready for this? We have played 11 test matches in 13 weeks. The boys
:15:33. > :15:39.are jaded by now but we are training to suit their needs. And
:15:39. > :15:43.making sure, it's exciting. This is what the country is
:15:43. > :15:48.desperate to see a repeat of, 1987 and New Zealand beat France to win
:15:48. > :15:51.the very first World Cup on home soil. If the All Blacks are to win
:15:51. > :15:55.a second World Cup this is where they have to do it. Eden Park, the
:15:55. > :16:00.spiritual home of New Zealand rugby, where they won the inaugural
:16:00. > :16:03.competition. They haven't lost a match here since 1994.
:16:03. > :16:07.France have knocked New Zealand out of two the last three World Cups
:16:07. > :16:10.but with rumours of a rift with players and management, they must
:16:10. > :16:17.improve beyond recognition if they're to pull off a huge upset.
:16:17. > :16:22.We don't care, we know that we will be 15 on the pitch against all the
:16:22. > :16:25.world maybe. For years the sport's finest players have been produced
:16:25. > :16:31.here. Now New Zealand must prove it's the best once again and
