After five days in a meat locker, Colonel Gaddafi's body is buried at

dawn at a secret location. This is thought to be the convoy that took

him to his final resting place. Libya a's new leader says that

proper respect were paid at the funeral. The -- Libya's new leaders.

Welcome to GMT. Also when the programme, a leading charity claims

that Syrian protesters face intimidation, even in hospital. We

speak to a doctor who says he has witnessed at first hand.

And a miraculous story of survival. A tiny baby is called a live from

the rubble of Sunday's earthquake in eastern Turkey. -- pulled alive.

It is 12:30pm London, 7:30pm in New York and 1:30pm in the afternoon in

Libya if, where the body of Colonel Gaddafi has finally been buried.

The country's new authorities were arguing over what to do next and

the former leader's body was put on display in Misrata where hundreds

queued to see it. Gabriel Gatehouse is in Misrata. At last, he has been

buried. One next? -- what next? They really have drawn a line now

are putting his body into the ground. By laying his body to rest,

they're hoping to lay to rest some ghosts here. They're hoping to move

forward to probably a harder task of rebuilding this country after 42

years of rule by one man and one man alone. There is a more subdued

atmosphere in his right to today than there has been in the first

three a four days after his capture. -- in Misrata. We saw anarchic

celebrations, people racing through the streets, driving at breakneck

speeds, letting off fireworks, shooting into the air. That seems

to have ended now. With the burial of Kroll Gaddafi, people are

turning soberly towards the business of getting life back to

normal. -- Colonel Gaddafi. When it came to the discussions about what

to do with Colonel Gaddafi's body, there were many opinions. Moving

forward, the international community and the NCC wants to show

that it is moving forward with a unified purpose. -- NTC. I think

the discussions we saw, the wrangling over the body, that threw

into question who was in charge here in Libya. It seemed that the

fighters who had captured Colonel Gaddafi wanted one thing while the

politicians in Benghazi, who are supposed to be running this country,

wanted something else. It was not entirely clear what the focus of

contention was. I think it was more power politics behind the scene,

positioning ahead of the elections that we are expecting to see in

eight months' time, all surrounded by the symbolic war trophy of

Colonel Gaddafi's body. I think we will see more of that in the months

to come and in a sense, some will say that is normal, that is OK,

that is what you do in a democracy. But the worry is that this is a

country with no experience of political pluralism. When you

consider that this is a country awash with guns, some people are

worried about how this will play out. It will certainly be

interesting. In miraculous story. A 14 day-old

baby has been brought out alive from the rubble of Sunday's

earthquake in Turkey. The discovery has fuelled hope among rescue

workers desperately searching for hundreds of missing people. The

official death toll has reached 370. 1300 are reported injured.

Amid the despair and devastation, there are still moments of joy in

this town. A two-week-old baby, pulled from the rubble. They had

known she was there but not that she was alive. Her parents are

thought to be alive also, although trapped. TRANSLATION: Thank God.

After 48 hours, a baby is alive. I hope the others will come out alive,

too. Who else is there? My mother, my aunt and my brother. There are

fewer survivors now. All they can do is keep cutting, breaking down

the concrete. With a constant audience of townspeople, some of

them with family members still under the rubble. TRANSLATION: We

have been waiting here all night. They have been used in small

pockets. His daughter and son-in- law are buried. He has glimpsed

scraps of their clothing. The collapse of so many buildings in

one town has, inevitably, raised questions about how well they were

built. Tens of thousands of people have lost their homes. There cold

and hungry. The Turkish government has launched a huge relief

operation, but it is sometimes pretty chaotic. Life in this town

has been reduced to a scramble for bread and blankets.

Tim Willcox is in Ercis. You heard that report, we have heard this

story of this baby being brought from the rubble. I see the rescue

workers behind you. Surely this must have generated hope. It has.

It has given them a boost, because of a night when we have been

watching them, all they have been doing is bringing down bodies. This

two-week-old baby, born one month premature, so remarkable survival

story. She seems to be in good condition and is now in hospital.

The rescue teams are concentrating on the mother and grandmother. The

only potential tragic twist to this one family's survival story could

be that they have not been able to speak to the father, trapped inside

the building as well. They spoke to him a few errors ago but have not

been able to recently and there are concerns about him. -- a few hours

ago. If you look at the street, there is this building where the

baby was found. 22 families live here, under maybe 40 or 50 people

trapped. -- and there may be 40 or 50 people trapped. The rescue work

has to continue painstakingly. Alongside the building, a block of

flats, completely intact, with no physical damage at all. One of the

big questions for the people of this town, after the dead and

survivors had been found, how are they going to clamp down on shoddy

building? How were they going to ensure that building regulations in

an earthquake zone are adhere too, because if they are not, these are

the tragic consequences. Thank you very much. Some of the

other stories making headlines around the world today. Tunisia's

Islamic party, Ennahda, has claimed victory in the country's first

democratic elections and pledged to create a multi-party secular

democracy. Early indications are that they have won most of the

votes in the poll for an assembly that will draft a new constitution.

Official results are expected later. The United Nations Secretary

General, Ban Ki-Moon says he is worried about the implications for

the UN's cultural agency UNESCO if a Palestinian request for full

membership is granted. Acceptance could lead to the loss of funding

from the United States. The Palestinian Authority is home to

pilgrimage sites like Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, revered as

the birthplace of Jesus. The United States and North Korea

have completed a first day of talks in Geneva aimed at restarting

negotiations over North Korea's nuclear programme. Negotiations

broke down in 2009. One month later, North Korea tested a second nuclear

weapon leading to an increase in tension across the Korean peninsula.

Interest in these talks is huge. After all, the stakes are high.

North Korea has already tested two nuclear weapons. Some believe it is

preparing to test a third. Both the US and North Korea say that they

want to resume formal negotiations on ending Pyongyang's nuclear

programme. But they disagree on how. North Korea has suggested they

restart without preconditions. The United States wants a firm

commitment from Pyongyang to disarm before sitting down at the

negotiating table. That is why these talks are being described

modestly as exploratory. Nevertheless, the first few hours

seem to have been at least friendly. The US and North Korean delegations

met this morning for two hours. We had a coffee break and initial

presentations. I think these were used for presentations. The fact

that the two sites are talking is regarded as a big improvement on

the dark days of 2009, when a deal to disarm North Korea broke down.

Just one month later, Pyongyang tested its second nuclear weapon,

and then launched artillery shells along its disputed border with

South Korea. Recently, there has been something of a diplomatic fall.

The North and South Korean foreign ministers met in July for the first

time in three years. -- four. Meanwhile, China, key player in any

formal agreement has sent its vice- premier to Pyongyang to encourage

North Korea to negotiate. The Geneva talks continue on Tuesday.

Andy Oppenheimer is a defence consultant and editor of chemical

and biological warfare. He is in our studio. This is a case of

brinkmanship when it comes to these talks. They are very tense, and

that is not going to change, is it? Absolutely right. It seems like we

have been here before. There is a dance going on with the stop-start,

similar to Iran, but not quite the same, with North Korea. They want

to exact all sorts of conditions from the West and from the region,

and they would use of the Renaissance nuclear programmes, and

there are two now, uranium as well as plutonium, in order to try to

exert some muscle on their neighbours and on the US. But China

is keeping them within some sort of holding position, because they have

a strong vested interest in keeping North Korea at bay. How much

patience is their internationally to come to some sort of agreement?

How much willingness or determination is there to crack a

deal? I think under the new administration, the Alabama

administration, there is far more desire to do a diplomatic deal with

North Korea. -- Obama administration. It is really a "You

do this and we will do that". It just goes on. They want to stop

them doing tests of missiles and of these kind of rudimentary nuclear

weapons that they have. They want them to stop developing the uranium

plant and also to, basically, just give up the plutonium stocks as

well. It is dealing with an unusual country which does not really deal

in the same way as the rest of the world. And so it's a case of, in

terms of getting the talks going again, if we could get the talks

going again, it could all stall once again. It really depends on, I

suppose, the sort of conditions occurring inside the country. It is

very poor and it has kept going because of China. It has had helps

from Russia in terms of its nuclear programme in the past. -- help from

Russia. Obviously, it wants to show that it can exert a particular kind

of dominance over the region but I like in North Korea to a noisy

neighbour. You complain to the council about them being a nuisance

and the council comes round and declares a sort of anti-social

behaviour order on them, and then three weeks later when everything's

quietened down, they just start off again. It seems a bit like that.

This has been going on now since 2002. They still haven't really

prove themselves as a real nuclear weapon state, but I must hasten to

add that one of the big problems with North Korea is proliferation.

They proliferate their technologies and they have strong links with

Iran, and this is one of the big problems of trading around the

world under all sorts of false manifests and third-party shipments

and all the rest of it, a fading the rules, which the United States

is erecting all kinds of schemes to protect the ports around the world,

to monitor what is going on, and sees shipments on the high seas.

This has been going on for six or seven or eight years. Andy

Oppenheimer, thank you for your thoughts. We will keep a close eye

on these talks. Still to come: Concern about a lack

of fresh water in one of the driest countries in the Middle East. How

All the business news now. BP, one we're keeping an eye on. This is in

the wake of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Expectations weren't high

about what BP would report. We've heard that third quarter profits

have come in at $5.1 billion, up from �1.85 on the same period last

year. Markets had been expecting profits to fall around 11 fers.

We've heard from the boss of BP today, Bob Dudley. He is marking

this as a big turning point for the firm. He is outlining the plans

that they're selling off more assets, from $30 million to $45 to

pay compensation and pay out for claims. Many are saying this is a

good news day. It's drawn a line under the worst of this affair.

We've heard from a lot of analysts who say this is now the best way to

draw a line under the worst of the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

Their recent agreement with Anadarko petroleum, means that they

were able to claw back about $4 billion in costs. So in doing so,

they believe they'll be able to end payments into the oil spill trust

fund a year ahead of schedule. news day for BP. We've been hearing

from the boss throughout the day, very keen to draw a line under the

worst of this. Whenever I talk about banks, you can imagine, it's

been traumatic over the past few months, so the results are coming

through. UBS was a good result earlier today. Deutsche has

reported. Can it be two good results in one day from European

banks? The UBS story, despite the rogue trader scandal, profits there

better than many expected. It's Deutsche we're keeping an eye on.

It's Germany's biggest bank. What it does represents the sentiments

of German banks to the eurozone. The boss telling us it's been the

most difficult trading period for the bank since the end of 2008.

We've heard from a whole raft of people today about that. This is

what one analyst had to say. They took the step of buying the

Deutsche Pos bank, which required a rights issue of about 13 billion

euros. A couple of figures that stick out, the provisions for

credit losses are up from 463 million euros from 382, to a total

for the nine months of 1.3 billion. I suspect a fair old bit of that is

Greece. Well, of course, all eyes are on the eurozone now about what

happened before the big crucial EU summit. Fingers crossed. Ben,

thanks. We want to hear what you think. Get in touch: The best way

is to go to the website bbc.co.uk/GMT.

This is GMT from BBC World News. I'm Naga Munchetty. The headlines

this hour: The body of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has

been take ton a secret location and buried, so say NTC officials. As

the search for survivors of Sunday's earthquake continues in

eastern Turkey, a two weekend -- week old baby is found alive in the

rubble. Human rights campaigners say many

Syrians, injured in anti-government protests, are too afraid to go to

hospitals, this after some reports that many have been arrested there

or tortured. Amnesty International says it has eyewitness accounts of

wounded people being removed from government hospitals and of medical

workers, who treated them, being arrested and tortured. Cilina

Nasser is Middle East and north African researcher at Amnesty

International. She spoke of how prevalent the fear is.

information we got is from health professionals working in the

government-run hospitals as well as residents specifically in Homs. The

reason for that is wounded people, when they go to the hospitals, it's

a way, the hospitals is used to, hospitals are used to identify who

is opposed to the government, rather than provide the necessary

treatment. So, the Ministry of Health has instructed hospitals to

report wounded persons to the authorities. This means that they

are putting wounded persons at risk of arrest and torture. I can now

speak to Dr Ahmad who says he witnessed ill treatment bit Syrian

forces in his nopt Homs. He left the country in July this year in

Saudi Arabia and lives in Riyadh. Thank you very much for speaking to

me today. Describe to me what protesters are afraid of, when it

comes to the fact if they're injured in demonstrations, what are

they afraid of might happen in these hospitals? Yeah, a patient

cannot go to the hospital, because they are afraid from arresting them

inside government hospitals. Sorry, could you explain in a little more

detail, any examples that you have seen. I will give you two examples:

One, a 14 years old boy was injured. Then a male nurse was hitting him.

I said you have to stop. Our job is to treat them, not to punish them.

I told the manager of the hospital about the accident and he didn't

punish him. Also this nurse told the security forces about that I am

supporting the demonstration against the regime. That's an

example. What happened when the authorities were told that you were

supporting or you were an ti regime? I am not, I am just helping

people and I am trying to treat them, because that's my job only. I

have no connection with no-one. What are the conditions like in the

hospitals now? Where should protesters go, if they're afraid of

government hospitals? Some injured people went to a special hospitals

outside government hospitals, but also, they got problems. Once I was

in an operation room in a hospital, suddenly three men, three forces

men entered the operation room with their weapons, with no respect for

the operation. They took details of the patient. We went out. My

friends were so confused about this situation. Some people they

bleeding until they die because they're afraid to go hospitals or

they go to some houses and they call some doctors to help them

there. In hospitals outside any hospital. You have spoken about how

protesters are treated. How are doctors and nurses treated by the

authorities? Yeah, some nurses hitting patients, talking to them

with very, very bad words. But are there any threats to doctors and

nurses from the authorities? Excuse me? Are there any threats to the

safety of doctors and nurses from the authorities? I didn't

understand that question. OK. I'm sorry. We are out of time. Dr Ahmad

thank you so much for giving us your experiences. It's good to hear

from you. You're welcome. Now the world's population has

officially passed the seven billion mark. The BBC has a series now,

special reports from seven countries in seven continents.

Jordan in s one country which in the words of its own government, is

facing a crisis, due to its rapidly rising population. Also of concern

is the lack of fresh water. As one of the dryest countries in the

Middle East its already depleted supply is dangerous low.

Against the odds he farms this arid land, where his crops lack much of

the water they need. With no other supply, the family buys their water

from a private company. But the price keeps on rising and business

is drying up. TRANSLATION: Some people depend on

farming F they stop, they won't be able to support their families. We

have high levels of unemployment. We are a poor country. The older

generations also want to keep alive the traditions of farming. They

won't give it up easily. Like others in Jordan, he depends

on the endless flow of lorries, which transport this country's

liquid gold. This is private water. Commercially owned wells have

become the source for many businesses and homes. We are living

in a water crisis. We have the royal committee on water and that

committee developed the water strategy for the country. If that

strategy is implemented, we will be in a few years, well off. But

unless that strategy is implemented, the crisis will intensify and the

situation will be more severe in the country. Jordan's population,

with its steady flow of refugees, is using ever more of this vital

resource. Despite government initiatives to extract new

resources, a bad situation is getting even worse. Farming in this

desert-like landscape has always been a challenge, but as water

becomes more scarce, and is shared by more people, the hieflloods of

farmers here will only become -- livelihoods of farmers will only

become more uncertain. There used to be sheep, but now this hut full

of chickens, along with a few rabbits are only animals left. He

says the government should supply what is his farm's lifeblood. For

now, though, he has no plans to leave this troubled way of life in

this inhospitalable land. You can follow our special series,

seven billion and counting, online. All this week we're travelling to

seven different countries looking at seven different people to

explore the emerging issues as our global population has reached the

seven billion mark. We're come together end of GMT.

Before we go, let me remind you of this miraculous story, amid a scene

of devastation. A two week old baby has been pulled alive from the
