:00:23. > :00:27.TRANSLATION: Today, we are one flesh, one national flesh and we
:00:27. > :00:30.have become a united brothers as we have not been in the past and we

:00:49. > :00:59.And, red faces for United as they're thumped 6-1 at home in the
:00:59. > :01:06.
:01:06. > :01:10.Good Evening. There are celebrations across Libya tonight
:01:10. > :01:15.as the country has been officially liberated. Addressing a crowd of
:01:15. > :01:18.tens of thousands, Libya's National Transitional Council leader,
:01:19. > :01:22.Mustafa Abdul Jalil, said the nation must now unite and put its
:01:22. > :01:26.faith in God. He thanked the UN and the nations who had supported the
:01:26. > :01:30.lib wran people in their struggle to overcome Colonel Gaddafi's
:01:30. > :01:34.regime. -- Libyan. Ben Brown is in Tripoli for us this evening. Ben.
:01:34. > :01:37.Emily, this really is a moment of history for Libya. Many people here
:01:37. > :01:42.are saying this is an unforgettable day, a day they'll always remember,
:01:42. > :01:45.the best day of their lives. This official declaration of liberation
:01:45. > :01:50.only made possible really by the death of Colonel Gaddafi last week,
:01:50. > :01:54.the fall of his stronghold of Sirte. It marks the end of eight months of
:01:54. > :01:58.Civil War and 42 years of dictatorship. The ceremony was held
:01:58. > :02:03.this afternoon in the eastern city of Benghazi. The cradle of the
:02:03. > :02:06.uprising where it all began in February. From there, Jonathan Head
:02:06. > :02:10.reports. This was the moment a nation
:02:10. > :02:13.announced its rebirth. Libyans of all ages and from all across the
:02:13. > :02:21.country came to the place where it all started to hear the official
:02:21. > :02:25.announcement that the war is over. The former judge who now leads the
:02:25. > :02:28.country said, ours will be a rosy future, we must put our trust in
:02:28. > :02:32.God. Eurged people to show tolerance and embrace
:02:32. > :02:37.reconciliation after eight months of bitter fighting against Colonel
:02:37. > :02:44.Gaddafi and his many loyalists. TRANSLATION: My Libyan people, all
:02:44. > :02:50.you have to do is believe in God, put your trust in God, seek unity.
:02:50. > :02:58.Today, we are one national flesh, we have become a united force,
:02:58. > :03:01.brothers, as we have not been in the past, and we love each other.
:03:01. > :03:06.They chose Benghazi for the celebration, as a tribute to its
:03:06. > :03:10.role in igniting and sustaining this rev lues. Once this is over,
:03:10. > :03:12.the spotlight will move from here to Tripoli in the west where the
:03:12. > :03:17.new government will sit -- revolution. The task that awaits
:03:17. > :03:21.them to build a fair and democratic system is daunting. But today, they
:03:21. > :03:24.put that aside to relish their liberation.
:03:24. > :03:27.Amid all this jubilation and all the uncertainty about what lies
:03:27. > :03:32.ahead for this country, it's worth stopping for a moment and
:03:32. > :03:35.reflecting on what they've achieved. They started with no guns, no
:03:35. > :03:39.experience against an entrenched dictatorship using all its force
:03:39. > :03:48.against them and they won. And that is quite a feat.
:03:48. > :03:56.How do you feel today? I'm very happy. Very happy. I
:03:56. > :03:59.brought my daughters. I came from my small village 450 kilometres
:04:00. > :04:03.from here. The cost has been very high, thousands dead and thousands
:04:03. > :04:11.more horribly wounded. Yet, the determination to win never flagged.
:04:11. > :04:16.It's not often you witness courage on this scale.
:04:16. > :04:20.Well, watching that liberation ceremony and announcement in
:04:20. > :04:27.Benghazi was our Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen. What were your
:04:27. > :04:30.impressions? Well, there was a lot of joy there,
:04:30. > :04:36.extraordinary outpouring of emotion when the announcement was made and
:04:36. > :04:39.a lot of future about the opt mifl even though they have some very
:04:39. > :04:44.serious challenges here -- optimism. Challenges of reconciliation,
:04:44. > :04:46.mentioned in Jalil's speech and he thought it necessary to bring it up,
:04:46. > :04:50.which is significant. One of the biggest challenges is building a
:04:50. > :04:53.new society from the bottom up because nothing is left over of the
:04:53. > :04:59.old system. They have advantages though, what
:04:59. > :05:03.they have is the fact that they have oil money, they have as well
:05:03. > :05:09.as many foreign friends as they need and they have, as we could see
:05:09. > :05:12.today out in that old parade ground on the outskirts of Benghazi which
:05:12. > :05:15.they've renamed Victory Square, they have an extraordinary sense of
:05:15. > :05:19.ownership of the revolution, even though they couldn't have done it
:05:19. > :05:23.without foreign help. The fact is, they believe they did all the heavy
:05:23. > :05:27.lifting, they accepted the danger, made the sacrifices and what
:05:27. > :05:31.everybody there was saying to me is, we are not going to waste this
:05:31. > :05:36.opportunity. We'll see. Thank you very much indeed. They're
:05:36. > :05:40.partying here in Tripoli and in Benghazi and in many other towns
:05:40. > :05:44.and cities right across Libya. This day marks the end of a long, dark
:05:44. > :05:46.chapter in Libyan history and hopefully the beginning of a bright,
:05:46. > :05:49.new one. Back to you.
:05:49. > :05:52.Thanks. Across the brder from Libya in
:05:53. > :05:58.Tunisia where the country where the Arab Spring began, the first
:05:58. > :06:00.election since the uprisings have been taking place. The President of
:06:00. > :06:04.23 years, Zine Al-Abidine Ben Ali, stepped down in January and made a
:06:04. > :06:09.wave of protests. Today's pole will elect an assembly that will prepare
:06:09. > :06:15.the country for future elections. From the capital, Tunis, Alan
:06:15. > :06:18.Little sent this report. The right to vote is most precious
:06:18. > :06:24.to those who've long been denied it and have it now for the first time.
:06:24. > :06:29.So they stood in the sun for hours, quietly, patiently, to stake their
:06:29. > :06:35.claim to a democratic future to take charge of their own destiny.
:06:35. > :06:38.It's the biggest day ever. The first time in our life, we have a
:06:38. > :06:43.true and clear election and we don't know the outcome. This is the
:06:43. > :06:48.beauty of it. And it might show the other Arabic countries to way to do
:06:48. > :06:52.it. I asked one man who he thought would win the election.
:06:52. > :06:56.TRANSLATION: We will all win, whatever the result, because we
:06:56. > :07:01.voted democratically and clearly and that's the real victory.
:07:01. > :07:05.More than 100 new political parties, 9,000 polling stations, millions of
:07:05. > :07:10.votes. It's a huge undertaking achieved from a standing start in
:07:10. > :07:14.just nine months. But there is a huge popular will
:07:14. > :07:18.among Tunisians to get this right. This is a young democracy still
:07:18. > :07:21.very much in the making. But already, everybody here knows what
:07:21. > :07:24.a heavy burden it can carries. For what is happening here today has
:07:24. > :07:30.the potential to change the nature of the state in the Arab world. Yes,
:07:30. > :07:37.a lot can still go wrong. But right here, right now, this feels like a
:07:37. > :07:41.moment of real consequence. The Islamist party is likely to
:07:41. > :07:47.emerge as the biggest single group. Do they want an Islamic state in
:07:47. > :07:53.far from it, they say. We've said clearly that we need a democratic
:07:53. > :07:57.state, a civil state that is open to all citizens, that is where
:07:57. > :08:00.there is no discrimination on the basis of colour, race, gender or
:08:00. > :08:04.faith. That is open to all Tunisians of all faiths and no
:08:04. > :08:09.faith. In ten months, Tunisians have built something new and of
:08:09. > :08:15.great prom nice the Arab world. They led to Arab Spring. They're
:08:15. > :08:20.leading it still. Hundreds of people are feared dead
:08:20. > :08:24.in an earthquake in South East earn Turkey. The quake with a magnitude
:08:24. > :08:28.of 7.2 struck the province of Van causing around 40 buildings to
:08:28. > :08:32.collapse. Rescuers are continuing to search the rubble for survivors.
:08:32. > :08:35.David Cameron has spent the afternoon in Brussels taking part
:08:35. > :08:41.in talks on the eurozone crisis. Mr Cameron said he had confidence that
:08:41. > :08:44.a stronger rescue package was in sight. Our Europe editor Gavin
:08:44. > :08:48.Hewitt is in Brussels following proceedings. Has Mr Cameron been
:08:48. > :08:53.able to achieve much there? Well, he said on the way in that
:08:53. > :08:56.the eurozone crisis was having a chilling impact on the British
:08:56. > :08:59.economy. I think he spies some progress, but certainly no
:08:59. > :09:04.breakthrough yet and some of the key issues haven't even been
:09:04. > :09:07.discussed. He did get involved in a two-hour tussle with President
:09:08. > :09:11.Sarkozy over his insistence that on Wednesday when key decisions were
:09:11. > :09:15.being taken, the British and others who weren't in the eurozone should
:09:15. > :09:21.be part of it. That means he will be back here again on Wednesday
:09:21. > :09:25.postponing his travel plans. And Europe is raising its head on
:09:25. > :09:28.the domestic political front for Mr Cameron too? Absolutely. He faces a
:09:28. > :09:31.difficult vote in the Commons tomorrow with some of his
:09:31. > :09:35.backbenchers pushing for a referendum on Britain's position in
:09:35. > :09:39.Europe, something that David Cameron is really opposed to. But
:09:39. > :09:44.today, it was announced here that there would be some kind of treaty
:09:44. > :09:48.change on Europe, three times David Cameron said "this gave Britain an
:09:48. > :09:51.opportunity to fight for its national interests" and that was
:09:51. > :09:57.clearly sending a signal to his backbenchers that there were
:09:57. > :10:01.opportunities here, apart from fighting for a referendum.
:10:01. > :10:03.Thank you very much. Clergy at St Paul's Cathedral have
:10:03. > :10:08.been holding private church services because the building
:10:08. > :10:12.remains closed to the public. A demonstration by anti-capitalist
:10:12. > :10:16.protestors camped outside has been going on since last weekend. Our
:10:16. > :10:21.religious affairs correspondent, Robert Pigott, reports.
:10:21. > :10:25.Not since the blitz has St Paul's been closed to Sunday worshippers.
:10:25. > :10:29.Inside, services did take place today, but outside the great west
:10:29. > :10:33.door, the devout were left with their own thoughts, as part of the
:10:33. > :10:39.established or state church, the cathedral is legally obliged to
:10:39. > :10:43.perform daily services, so a handful of clergy recited morning
:10:43. > :10:47.and early evening prayer behind closed doors. It's very
:10:47. > :10:54.disappointing. We have come so far, 7,000 miles, and we are not sure on
:10:54. > :11:00.this trip if it will be open again. St Paul's says potential obstacles
:11:00. > :11:04.forced the cathedral to close. The protestors are taking elaborate
:11:04. > :11:08.measures in an effort to show they pose no threat to health and safety.
:11:08. > :11:11.When the Fire Service asked us to reorganise the way the tents were
:11:11. > :11:14.set up and put up safety gates over there, we've done this and now we
:11:14. > :11:18.want to clarify any other outstanding health and safety
:11:18. > :11:22.concerns they have. The land surrounding St Paul's
:11:22. > :11:29.belongs, not just to the Cathedral, but to the corporation of London,
:11:29. > :11:34.and the Crown, some of it is common land belonging to the public. It's
:11:34. > :11:37.divided into an intricate patch wok of seven plots. It means if
:11:37. > :11:43.protestors can persuade the authorities that the camp doesn't
:11:43. > :11:48.pose a hazard, any case to move them on could be legally extremely
:11:48. > :11:53.complicated. We are acting in trust and I hope that in trust, the
:11:53. > :11:57.protestors will find they've been heard and will then move on. Some
:11:57. > :12:03.campaigners say they're ready to stay for months. They might not be
:12:03. > :12:07.affecting any banks, but they know they've captured a trophy of
:12:07. > :12:13.Worldwide stature. Now a look at the sport with Ollie
:12:13. > :12:18.Foster. What is going on today?! I don't know, very strange indeed. We
:12:18. > :12:21.expected a one-sided result at the Rugby World Cup today, not Old
:12:21. > :12:24.Trafford where Sir Alex Ferguson described Manchester United's 6-1
:12:24. > :12:28.defeat to Manchester City as their worst ever day.
:12:28. > :12:33.Patrick gearry reports. An occasion as big as the Manchester Derby is
:12:33. > :12:42.made for a character as big as Mario Balotelli. Sure enough he had
:12:42. > :12:45.says say - his say. Whatever his pleas, Balotelli can't avoid
:12:45. > :12:50.attention, Jonny Evans gave him rather too much in the second half
:12:50. > :12:54.resulting in his dismissal. City were underlining their
:12:54. > :12:58.dominance. Milner picked out Balotelli, the unlikely hero.
:12:58. > :13:04.Rarely, if ever, are United outclassed like this in their own
:13:04. > :13:07.back yard, but City kept the ball with ease, Aguero wouldn't even
:13:07. > :13:11.release it when he scored. When United got hold of it, Darren
:13:11. > :13:16.Fletcher had time for the finest of consolations, excellent but
:13:16. > :13:25.irrelevant as City weren't finished. Deco added a fourth. The champions
:13:25. > :13:32.were being chastened. Deep into injury time, Dzeko's second meant
:13:32. > :13:42.it was the worst defeat in Old Trafford history.
:13:42. > :13:44.
:13:44. > :13:48.In the Scottish Premier League, Rangers are now nine points clear
:13:48. > :13:55.at the top of the table after beating Hearts 2-0 at Tynecastle.
:13:55. > :13:58.Naysmith and Jelavic got the goals either side of half time. Celtic
:13:58. > :14:03.beat Aberdeen but stay third in the table.
:14:03. > :14:06.The Rugby Union World Cup now, and they had to work really hard for it,
:14:06. > :14:11.but New Zealand are champions again. France who knocked England and
:14:11. > :14:17.Wales out pushed the hosts all the way, but the All Blacks edged a
:14:17. > :14:21.compelling final by 8-7. Here is Dan Rowan.
:14:21. > :14:25.24 years they waited for this. Now at last, New Zealanders were back
:14:25. > :14:32.on top of the rugby world, the biggest party in the country's
:14:32. > :14:37.history could begin. Yeah, boys! Earlier, a surge of confidence had
:14:37. > :14:41.accompanied the All Blacks as they arrived at edn Park for their date
:14:41. > :14:48.with destiny. -- Eden Park. This was the first act of defiance
:14:48. > :14:51.in a remarkable performance. Driven on by the desperation of an
:14:51. > :14:55.expectant nation, Tony Wood cock gave the host the lead. They had to
:14:55. > :14:58.wait until the second half to extend the lead. The All Blacks'
:14:58. > :15:03.fourth choice fly half Stephen Donald making a name for himself
:15:03. > :15:07.after coming on. This was far from the walkover many predicted. France
:15:07. > :15:11.were unrecognisable from previous performances and a try from the
:15:11. > :15:15.inspired Francois Trinh-Duc stunned Eden Park. Having been written off,
:15:15. > :15:20.dudenly somehow France were threatening a shock. They had a
:15:20. > :15:25.chance to win but the points couldn't be taken. New Zealand
:15:25. > :15:31.forced to defend as if their lives depended on it refused to yield and
:15:31. > :15:35.by the narrowest of margins, victory was there. Failures to twin
:15:35. > :15:39.Webb Ellis trophy have defined the All Blacks but this was World Cup
:15:39. > :15:44.redemption. It was a great feeling. This thing was about winning and
:15:44. > :15:48.the guys have won the World Cup. That is outstanding.
:15:48. > :15:52.I felt sick for the last 20 minutes. Sick the whole game. It's
:15:52. > :15:55.absolutely everything. It's been a long time coming and it was
:15:55. > :15:58.unbearably tense, but finally the country most in love with the sport
