:00:16. > :00:22.nation declared free after 42 years of Gaddafi's rule.
:00:22. > :00:26.Today we are one flesh, one national flesh. We have become
:00:26. > :00:28.united brothers as we have not been in the past and we love each other.
:00:28. > :00:34.After stormy discussions in Brussels, David Cameron heads home

:00:38. > :00:44.At least 85 people are killed after an earthquake in Turkey.
:00:44. > :00:52.A silent prayer as worshippers are locked out of St Paul's Cathedral
:00:52. > :01:02.by the anti-capitalism protests. And red faces for United, they're
:01:02. > :01:13.
:01:13. > :01:17.Good evening. There are celebrations across Libya this
:01:17. > :01:20.evening after the country officially declared its liberation.
:01:20. > :01:26.Addressing a crowd of tens of thousands Libya's National
:01:26. > :01:29.Transitional Council leader, Mustafa Jalil, said his nation must
:01:29. > :01:34.now unite and put its faith in God. He thanked the UN and all the
:01:34. > :01:38.nations who had supported the Libyan people in their struggle to
:01:38. > :01:42.overcome Colonel Gaddafi's regime. Ben Brown is in the capital,
:01:42. > :01:47.Tripoli. A truly historic momentous day here.
:01:47. > :01:50.People saying it's the best day of their lives. The official
:01:50. > :01:54.declaration of liberation that marks the end, not only of eight
:01:54. > :01:58.months of civil war, but 42 years of dictatorship and that
:01:58. > :02:02.declaration was made at the city of Benghazi, the cradle of the
:02:02. > :02:07.uprising where it all began in February. From there Jeremy Bowen
:02:07. > :02:17.reports. They had been waiting for this
:02:17. > :02:26.moment for a lot longer than the last eight months of civil war.
:02:26. > :02:29.The announcement came, national liberation, freedom.
:02:29. > :02:35.The revolution started here in the east of Libya and tonight they
:02:35. > :02:39.brought it back full circle to Benghazi.
:02:39. > :02:43.Losing this city was Colonel Gaddafi's first serious defeat. He
:02:43. > :02:47.called these people rats and his threat to retake Benghazi and kill
:02:47. > :02:52.them prompted foreign intervention that helped the rebels destroy the
:02:52. > :02:57.Colonel Gaddafi regime. Thank you, England. Thank you Cameron. Thank
:02:57. > :03:01.you France, thank you America. Throughout the day the excitement
:03:01. > :03:09.had been building as the hour of the liberation announcement came
:03:09. > :03:12.closer. Thousands are dead, many more badly wounded. Some fighters
:03:12. > :03:16.said they wouldn't be able to celebrate without dead friends who
:03:16. > :03:21.are commemorated in the city centre. Young men did the fighting but
:03:21. > :03:27.Libyans have to be in their 50s to remember a time before the Colonel
:03:27. > :03:33.seized power in 1969. We are waiting for this day from 42 years.
:03:33. > :03:39.Waiting just for this day. By the late afternoon they were ready to
:03:39. > :03:44.celebrate, in a parade ground renamed Victory Square. Trust in
:03:45. > :03:50.God, and trust your neighbour, they were told. TRANSLATION:
:03:50. > :03:57.Today we are one national flesh. We have become united brothers as we
:03:57. > :04:01.have not been in the past and we love each other. Hating the
:04:01. > :04:05.Gaddafis was a great unifier, without the Colonel some in the
:04:05. > :04:10.broad coalition that overthrew him are already falling out. They do
:04:10. > :04:14.have things to be optimistic about. They have a lot of oil money. They
:04:14. > :04:18.have as many foreign friends as they want. And they have this
:04:18. > :04:26.extraordinary sense of ownership of their revolution. And that matters
:04:26. > :04:32.a great deal. This was celebration, Libyan-style.
:04:32. > :04:39.Libya has given the Arab revolt new momentum and must be making other
:04:39. > :04:43.Arab dictators shudder. It has been an extraordinary day
:04:43. > :04:46.for the Arab Spring. Not only have we had liberation officially
:04:46. > :04:51.declared here in Libya, but in neighbouring Tunisia we have had
:04:51. > :04:56.free elections today. Huge turnout of voters in the country that saw
:04:56. > :04:58.the beginning of the Arab Spring nine months ago. From Tunisia Alan
:04:58. > :05:03.Little reports. The right to vote is most precious
:05:03. > :05:07.to those who have have long been denied it and have it now for the
:05:07. > :05:11.first time. So they stood for hours in the sun, quietly, patiently, so
:05:11. > :05:18.stake their claim to a democratic future, to take charge of their own
:05:18. > :05:22.destiny. This is biggest day ever. First time in our life we have a
:05:22. > :05:26.true and clear elections and we don't know theout come. This is the
:05:26. > :05:31.beauty of it. It might show the other Arabic countries the way to
:05:31. > :05:35.do it. More than 100 new political parties, 9,000 polling stations,
:05:35. > :05:40.millions of votes. It is a huge undertaking achieved from a
:05:40. > :05:44.standing start in just nine months. But there is a huge popular will
:05:44. > :05:48.among Tunisians to get this right. This is a young democracy still
:05:48. > :05:51.very much in the making. But already everybody knows what a
:05:51. > :05:55.heavy burden it carries. For what's happening here has the potential to
:05:55. > :06:00.change the nature of the state in the Arab world, yes, a lot can
:06:00. > :06:07.still go wrong, but right here, right now this feels like a moment
:06:07. > :06:12.of real consequence. The Islamist Party is likely to
:06:13. > :06:16.emerge as the biggest single group. Do they want an Islamic state? Far
:06:16. > :06:22.from it, they say. We have said clearly that we need a democratic
:06:22. > :06:27.state, a civil state that is open to all citizens, that is where
:06:27. > :06:30.there is no discrimination on the basis of colour, race, gender, or
:06:30. > :06:35.faith. That is open to all Tunisians of all faiths and no
:06:35. > :06:39.faith. In ten months Tunisians have built something new and of great
:06:39. > :06:45.great promise in the Arab world. They led the Arab Spring, they're
:06:45. > :06:49.leading it still. Let's go back to our Middle East
:06:49. > :06:52.editor Jeremy Bowen in Benghazi and get his thoughts. We have seen all
:06:52. > :06:57.those people voting in Tunisia. The plan is they'll be voting here in
:06:57. > :07:03.Libya in the not too distant future. How hard do you think the path to
:07:03. > :07:07.democracy here is going to be? was talking to a senior foreign
:07:07. > :07:11.diplomat today and he said they might pull it off here in Libya. I
:07:11. > :07:16.think that the lesson of this weekend, another historic weekend
:07:16. > :07:20.in the Middle East, is that the process of change continues. I am
:07:20. > :07:24.certain that other Arab dictators will be looking, particularly
:07:24. > :07:29.President Assad, at what happened in Libya the last few days with a
:07:29. > :07:34.great sense of trepidation about the future. I think what has been
:07:34. > :07:41.proved now beyond doubt, is that the clock cannot be turned back.
:07:41. > :07:50.That change continues. What turned out as the Arab Spring, may end up
:07:50. > :07:53.as a rather nasty Winter of Discontent for Arab dictators.
:07:53. > :07:57.Thank you. The celebrations are continuing here in Tripoli and
:07:57. > :08:00.across Libya. They will no doubt be partying late into the night.
:08:00. > :08:04.Libyans really do believe that a long, very dark chapter in their
:08:04. > :08:10.history has just closed today and that a bright new one has just
:08:10. > :08:14.opened. David Cameron has exchanged sharp
:08:14. > :08:16.words with the French President today during a summit on the
:08:16. > :08:20.eurozone crisis. Tomorrow he has to confront another headache over
:08:20. > :08:24.Europe, but this time from within his own party. He's told
:08:24. > :08:28.Conservative MPs they must vote against a motion calling for a
:08:28. > :08:32.referendum on Britain's membership of the EU. But around 70 plan to
:08:32. > :08:39.defy their Prime Minister. Here's our political correspondent.
:08:39. > :08:42.She fought it in the 1980s. He was haunted by it in the 1990s. Now
:08:42. > :08:47.another Conservative Prime Minister is facing serious infighting over
:08:47. > :08:51.Europe. There was a handful of Tory MPs at this event in London over
:08:51. > :08:56.the weekend. They're calling for a referendum on the UK in Europe.
:08:56. > :09:00.Tomorrow parliament will discuss it after a petition to Downing Street
:09:00. > :09:04.got more than 100,000 signatures. MPs will be asked to support
:09:04. > :09:09.proposals for a referendum on whether the UK should remain a
:09:09. > :09:13.member of the European Union, leave the European Union, or renegotiate
:09:13. > :09:17.the terms of its membership, focused on trade. David Cameron is
:09:17. > :09:20.against a referendum, but dozens of Tories are preparing to defy him.
:09:20. > :09:24.would urge the Prime Minister to let parliament have a good
:09:24. > :09:29.discussion and to express its view as it sees fit. I happen to think
:09:29. > :09:33.he will win very easily the vote. It will be nice if we had a free
:09:34. > :09:37.debate and vote. The last referendum was in 1975 when
:09:37. > :09:41.Margaret Thatcher campaigned to stay in. Eurosceptics claim public
:09:41. > :09:45.support for another vote, but David Cameron says not now. I don't think
:09:46. > :09:50.this is the right time to legislate for a referendum. This is the right
:09:50. > :09:54.time to sort out Europe's problems, sort out the eurozone problems,
:09:54. > :09:58.defend your national interest. Prime Minister senses cracks in his
:09:58. > :10:02.party, so coalition MPs have been told they must vote against the
:10:02. > :10:06.referendum idea. It will be a sizable challenge to the Prime
:10:06. > :10:08.Minister in there tomorrow and from his own side. Europe is a
:10:08. > :10:13.constantly brewing issue for the Conservatives. But the Government
:10:13. > :10:18.is almost certain to win, even if it has to rely on the support of of
:10:18. > :10:24.Labour, who said they will also vote no to a referendum.
:10:24. > :10:28.As we mentioned, earlier David Cameron spent the day in Brussels.
:10:28. > :10:32.There he clashed with the French President over his efforts to get
:10:33. > :10:37.Britain a voice at the talks on solving the eurozone crisis. Our
:10:37. > :10:41.Europe editor is in Brussels. What happened? First of all, the
:10:41. > :10:46.meetings here have ended. No magic solution, no breakthrough. Some
:10:46. > :10:50.progress was made in increasing the firepower of the EU's main bail-out
:10:50. > :10:55.fund for troubled countries. Less progress in reducing Greek debt and
:10:55. > :10:59.how to do it. But all of those decisions and discussions were
:10:59. > :11:02.delayed for about two hours because of a row between David Cameron and
:11:02. > :11:06.President Sarkozy. The Prime Minister wanted to ensure that come
:11:06. > :11:09.Wednesday, when important decisions were taken, that Britain was
:11:09. > :11:15.present and he really insisted that somehow these shouldn't just be
:11:15. > :11:18.left to the eurozone. At which point President Sarkozy said you
:11:18. > :11:22.are criticising us every day in the media, telling us what to do and
:11:22. > :11:26.the French President went enough is enough. Now you want to interfere
:11:26. > :11:34.in our meetings. As a result of this, David Cameron will be back
:11:34. > :11:38.here in Brussels on Wednesday, postponing some of his travel plans.
:11:38. > :11:42.At least 85 people have died after a powerful earthquake struck south-
:11:42. > :11:48.eastern Turkey. Dozens of buildings have collapsed and rescue workers
:11:48. > :11:53.are continuing to sift through the rubble following the 7.2 magnitude
:11:53. > :11:56.quake in Van Province. Peter Biles reports.
:11:56. > :11:59.Turkish television pictures captured the panic and confusion in
:11:59. > :12:06.the immediate aftermath of the earthquake. Buildings in the city
:12:06. > :12:13.of Van collapsed, but the epicentre was some distance away.
:12:13. > :12:16.There have been casualties in a number of nearby towns. Phonelines
:12:16. > :12:21.and electricity supplies were cut. There was an immediate call for
:12:21. > :12:26.assistance. It's thought that about 1,000 buildings have been damaged.
:12:27. > :12:29.The earthquake measured 7.2. It's also resulted in powerful
:12:29. > :12:36.aftershocks. Britain and America are among the countries ready to
:12:36. > :12:39.help, but so far Turkey has not said it needs any aid from abroad.
:12:39. > :12:43.Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, arrived in Van this
:12:43. > :12:48.evening as it's rescue operation got into full swing. Search teams
:12:48. > :12:52.are trying to find people trapped under piles of rubble. The
:12:52. > :12:57.temperature is expected to drop to freezing point. They've a long
:12:57. > :13:00.night ahead of them. Some of the victims, among them
:13:00. > :13:04.children, are being cared for in the garden of a local hospital
:13:04. > :13:12.because the building itself has been damaged. Tents and blankets
:13:12. > :13:16.have been dispatched. Tonight the casualty toll looks certain to rise.
:13:16. > :13:22.St Paul's Cathedral had to hold its services behind closed doors today,
:13:22. > :13:26.shut because of safety fears caused by the anti-capitalist encampment.
:13:26. > :13:32.But some campaigners claim the decision may have been influenced
:13:32. > :13:37.by other concerns. Not since the blitz has St Paul's
:13:37. > :13:41.been closed to Sunday worshippers. Inside, a handful of clergyy
:13:41. > :13:44.recited morning and evening prayer, outside the great west door the
:13:44. > :13:50.devout were left with their own thoughts. It's very disappointing.
:13:50. > :13:54.We have come so far, 7,000 miles to see it and we are not sure on this
:13:54. > :13:59.trip it will be open again. Paul's says dangers to health and
:13:59. > :14:09.safety forced it to close, but the campaigners are taking elaborate
:14:09. > :14:09.
:14:09. > :14:15.measures in an effort to pose they -- to show they pose no threat.
:14:15. > :14:18.On Friday I researched the professions of the trustees of the
:14:18. > :14:23.St Paul's Foundation which is influential upon its work, almost
:14:23. > :14:26.all are very big in the City of London. Indeed, it's chaired by a
:14:26. > :14:30.former Lord Mayor of the City of London. St Paul's vehemently
:14:30. > :14:35.rejects the claim and says its efforts are all aimed at reopening
:14:35. > :14:39.safely as soon as possible. The land surrounding St Paul's not just
:14:39. > :14:43.to the tkrat ral but to the rorpgs of London and the Crown. Some of
:14:44. > :14:47.its even common land public belonging to the public. It's
:14:47. > :14:52.divided into a patchwork of seven individual plots dating from the
:14:52. > :14:55.middle aeupbgs -- ages. It the protesters can persuade the
:14:55. > :14:59.authorities it doesn't pose a hazard, any legal case to move them
:14:59. > :15:04.on could be extremely complicated. Some campaigners say they're ready
:15:04. > :15:11.to stay for months. They might be leaving banks untouched but they
:15:11. > :15:15.know they have captured a trophy of worldwide stature.
:15:15. > :15:22.Now the sport. Extraordinary results tonight.
:15:22. > :15:26.Certainly were. Match of the day 2 is on BBC2 at the moment with
:15:26. > :15:32.astonishling games. Sir Alex Ferguson described today's defeat
:15:32. > :15:35.as the worst in his history. Manchester United lost 6-1 to
:15:36. > :15:44.Manchester City who are now five points clear at the top of the
:15:44. > :15:52.Premier League. An occasion as big as the Manchester derby. Already a
:15:52. > :15:54.headline maker, now a t-shirt-maker. Whatever his pleas, he can't avoid
:15:54. > :16:02.attention. Johnny Evans gave him too much in the second half, it
:16:02. > :16:11.resulted in his dismissal. City were underlining their dominance.
:16:11. > :16:15.Milner picked out Balotelli. Rarely, if ever, are United outclassed like
:16:15. > :16:21.this in their own backward. When United finally got hold of it
:16:21. > :16:24.Darren Fletcher had time for the finest of kopbs consolations,
:16:24. > :16:31.excellent but irrelevant as City weren't finished. The champions
:16:31. > :16:35.were being chasted. Silva made it five and deep into injury time it
:16:35. > :16:39.was United's worst defeat in Premier League history. As Old
:16:39. > :16:49.Trafford witnessed the start of a new era.
:16:49. > :16:51.
:16:51. > :16:54.There were also wins for Arsenal, Chelsea had two men sent off in the
:16:54. > :17:01.first half. John Terry has issued a statement denying allegations that
:17:01. > :17:04.he made a racist comment towards QPR's Anton Ferdinand during the
:17:04. > :17:13.match. Rangers are nine points clear in
:17:13. > :17:17.the Scottish Premier League after beating Hearts 2-0. Celtic also won
:17:17. > :17:22.2-1 against Aberdeen. They had to work hard for it but
:17:22. > :17:26.New Zealand are Rugby Union world champions again. France, who had
:17:26. > :17:34.knock England and Wales out of the tournament, pushed the hosts all
:17:34. > :17:38.the way but the All Blacks edged a compelling final by 8-7.
:17:38. > :17:42.24 years they waited for this, now at last, New Zealanders were back
:17:42. > :17:47.on top of the rugby world. The biggest party in the country's
:17:47. > :17:51.history could begin. Earlier a surge of confidence had
:17:51. > :17:55.accompanied the All Blacks as they arrived for their date with destiny.
:17:55. > :17:59.But the French soon showed the unity they had been missing during
:17:59. > :18:05.a chaotic campaign, this the first act of defiance in a remarkable
:18:05. > :18:09.performance. Driven on by the desperation of an expectant nation,
:18:09. > :18:15.Tony Woodcock completed a well rehearsed move to give them the
:18:15. > :18:19.lead. Stephen Donald making a name for himself after coming on but
:18:19. > :18:25.this was far from the walkover many predicted. France were
:18:25. > :18:28.unrecognisable from previous performances and a try from
:18:28. > :18:36.Dusautoir stunned the park. Having been written off, suddenly, somehow,
:18:36. > :18:42.France were threatening a shock. They had a chance to win it, but
:18:42. > :18:47.Trinh-Duc couldn't take the chance. By the narrowest of margins victory
:18:47. > :18:50.was theirs. Failures to win the Webb Ellis trophy have come to
:18:50. > :18:56.define the All Blacks, but no longer, this was World Cup
:18:56. > :19:02.redemption. It's a great feeling. This was about winning. The guys
:19:02. > :19:07.have won the World Cup and that is outstanding. I felt sick for the
:19:07. > :19:11.last 20 minutes. It's absolutely everything. It's been a long time
:19:11. > :19:15.coming and it was unbearably tense but finally the country most in
:19:15. > :19:22.love with the sport has won its biggest prize. New Zealand welcomed
:19:22. > :19:27.the world here these last few weeks, now they are its champions.
:19:27. > :19:31.Great Britain went out on a high at the European track cycling
:19:31. > :19:36.championships winning four gold medals on the final day. Victoria
:19:36. > :19:41.Pendleton with one of them in the keirin. Great Britain's tally of
:19:41. > :19:46.seven golds in all will help towards Olympic qualification.
:19:46. > :19:53.There's been another tragedy in motorsport. Marco Simoncelli has
:19:53. > :19:57.died after a crash at the Malaysian Moto GP. He collided with two other
:19:57. > :20:01.riders. He was pronounced dead at the circuit's Medical Center. His
