:00:27. > :00:32.Good afternoon. Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg,
:00:32. > :00:36.is to repeat the call for the tax on the wethy when he rallies
:00:36. > :00:40.activist on the day of the party conference, but he will point out
:00:40. > :00:46.that the Lib Dems are outnumbered in the coalition Cabinet and to
:00:46. > :00:50.have the action reduced, they will have to win the argument.
:00:50. > :00:54.Nick Clegg has had rather a Rowling ride on the journey to Brighton
:00:54. > :00:57.since forming the coalition, the party is trailing in the polls and
:00:57. > :01:01.his answer ratings are far from positive.
:01:02. > :01:05.It is an important conference at a crucial time it is a tough time
:01:05. > :01:10.economically for the country. It has been a challenge eing time for
:01:10. > :01:14.the Liberal Democrats politically, but I don't want anyone to be under
:01:14. > :01:17.doubt that the Liberal Democrats, they will hold their nerve, they
:01:17. > :01:21.will see this through. The party leader is having trouble
:01:21. > :01:25.getting his message across to the electorate.
:01:25. > :01:30.When Nick Clegg speaks from the stage here in Brighton, he will not
:01:30. > :01:35.just win back the trust of voters, but he will try to re-build trust
:01:35. > :01:40.with his party members. Reminding them of what he achieved in
:01:40. > :01:44.Government, also pointing out where he has differences with the
:01:44. > :01:49.coalition partners. Amongst the coalition achievements
:01:49. > :01:52.he is to focus on pupil premium. A Lib Dem scheme to make cash
:01:52. > :01:59.available to help disadvantaged schoolchildren.
:01:59. > :02:06.And how they helped reform the banks, but he will try to make
:02:06. > :02:12.clear how they are different from the Tories, to put a levy on
:02:12. > :02:17.homeowners of expensive homes. Nick Clegg know it is will take time to
:02:17. > :02:23.turn around the political fortunes. He made a start by apologising for
:02:23. > :02:27.the prej on tuition fees, but even that was lampooned on the internet.
:02:27. > :02:32.# I'm sorry... # He will have to hope that the new policy
:02:32. > :02:36.announcements are taken more seriously.
:02:36. > :02:43.Norman Smith is in Brighton for us now. Norman, the Lib Dems are
:02:43. > :02:47.struggling in the polls. There have been rumblings. Can Nick Clegg
:02:47. > :02:51.start to turn things around at this conference? You are right, despite
:02:51. > :02:59.the glorious weather here, it has been a fairly dismal summer for
:02:59. > :03:03.them with the dire poll ratings and the flagship House of Lords reforms,
:03:03. > :03:08.Nick Clegg is to hope that by stressing the need for the wealth
:03:08. > :03:11.taxs to pay off the deficit, he will advertise the difference also
:03:11. > :03:16.between his party and the Conservatives and saying that the
:03:16. > :03:20.Lib Dems are still a radical party, but the difficulty is that they are
:03:20. > :03:25.not going to get specific tax proposals. Added to which George
:03:25. > :03:30.Osbourne is opposed to this move. The danger is he is unable to
:03:30. > :03:34.deliver on the tax pledge. Alexander Mitchell is resisting
:03:34. > :03:38.calls to stand down after claims he swore at Downing Street police
:03:38. > :03:43.officers, calling them a pleing. Labour has called for a full
:03:43. > :03:50.account of his outburst. The Tory Chief Whip denies using language,
:03:50. > :03:55.but has apologised. The Libyan Islamist militia group
:03:55. > :04:04.has been driven from its base in the city of Benghazi.
:04:04. > :04:10.The protestors stormed the headquarters of Mazar-e-Sharif.
:04:10. > :04:15.This is the jubilation, fuelled by the fewer I -- fury of protestors.
:04:15. > :04:19.They set vehicles an parts of a compound ablaze. Libyans are taking
:04:19. > :04:24.justice into their hands. Driving out the rogue militias and the
:04:24. > :04:29.brigades that they blame for lawlessness. Benghazi's streets
:04:29. > :04:33.have not seen an outpouring of public anger like this since the
:04:33. > :04:41.revolution that toppled Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The protestors
:04:41. > :04:51.stormed the headquarters of the extreme Islamist group too.
:04:51. > :04:53.
:04:53. > :04:57.It was said earlier this week that the group were not going to help in
:04:57. > :05:02.democracy. Four US embassy staff were killed
:05:02. > :05:08.earlier in the week, including the US ambassador to Libya, Christopher
:05:08. > :05:14.Steven. These are difficult times for the country, emerging from a
:05:14. > :05:19.uprising that ended after a 4-year dictatorship.
:05:19. > :05:24.-- 42-year. People from across the UK reported
:05:24. > :05:28.seeing a series of bright lights streaking across the sky. The
:05:28. > :05:33.spectacle was visible from the north of Scotland and as far south
:05:33. > :05:36.as East Anglia. It has been said it could be
:05:36. > :05:40.possible space junk burning up in the night's atmosphere.
:05:40. > :05:45.Lasting about a minute, a reminder that we sit on a planet in the
:05:45. > :05:50.middle of a universe. Bright green lights. Travelling at
:05:50. > :05:56.the speed of a military jet fighter. On a clear night, people across the
:05:56. > :06:00.UK watched in wonder. It was like Innocence Of Muslims. Huge pieces.
:06:00. > :06:06.So is this golden ball, caught on camera, breaking up into pieces?
:06:06. > :06:09.thought it was a plane. It is low in horizon. Moving lower than you
:06:09. > :06:14.would expect a shooting star. Amazing.
:06:14. > :06:18.This object could have started life down here on Earth. Experts say
:06:18. > :06:21.that the speed of which it was travelling suggest that it was
:06:21. > :06:26.debris. Burning up as it enters the atmosphere.
:06:26. > :06:30.It is racing in. If it is a chunk of this size, it is coming in at
:06:30. > :06:37.18,000 miles an hour. There is a huge amount of energy. It crashs
:06:37. > :06:41.into the atmosphere. It falls apart and leaves this spectacular trail.
