:05:49. > :05:55.will do all I can to find him, to judge him, to put him in a cage.

:06:23. > :06:29.home town of Sirte, east of Tripoli is one of the places he might be
:06:29. > :06:33.hiding. This has always been a Gaddafi hard-land. Now he's urging

:06:59. > :07:04.that 600 new volunteers have arrived in the last six hours." the
:07:04. > :07:08.reality is, it's the rebels that are steadily making head-way. Their
:07:08. > :07:14.battle to control all of Libya is still not complete.
:07:14. > :07:19.Now, in a moment, we can talk to our world affairs correspondent.
:07:19. > :07:23.First our correspondent is in Benghazi for us tonight. Jon, for
:07:23. > :07:29.months now, the rebel opposition group has been based with you there
:07:29. > :07:36.in Benghazi. Any thought they might move to the capital, Tripoli?
:07:36. > :07:40.know, despite the exsilration in Benghazi and Tripoli, a note of
:07:40. > :07:45.caution has moved in. They have postponed the move to Tripoli,
:07:45. > :07:51.saying it is not secure. They say it is not over until the fate of
:07:51. > :07:55.Colonel Gaddafi is done. They have offered him safe passage out of the
:07:55. > :08:00.country if he renounces leadership. They have offered an amnesty for
:08:00. > :08:05.anyone who kills him or captures him and that reward of more than $1
:08:05. > :08:07.million. They have major cities they continue control, Sirte, his
:08:07. > :08:10.birth place, big cities in the south of the country. The rebels on
:08:10. > :08:14.this side of the country are not making the military progress they
:08:14. > :08:20.have made in Tripoli. The trebles have taken Tripoli, most of it in
:08:20. > :08:26.dramatic fashion. We have seen that. To what extent was that planned or
:08:26. > :08:30.a case of luck? Well, it's very interesting. The opposition here
:08:30. > :08:37.say that it was all actually planned, that great surprising move
:08:37. > :08:41.into Tripoli at the weekend. It had been planned for many months. They
:08:41. > :08:44.loyalists and trained them with the support and co-operation of NATO
:08:45. > :08:50.and led by the opposition and put them in place as sleepers, waiting
:08:50. > :08:55.for the signal. Last weekend they brought out those sleeper cells,
:08:55. > :09:00.who were living in Tripoli itself. They invaded, over land and sea.
:09:00. > :09:04.They had a key defection, they say, from the man who controlled the
:09:04. > :09:10.gates of Tripoli. That is why we saw such dramatic developments over
:09:10. > :09:13.the last couple of days. Now over to Jon Simpson in Tripoli.
:09:13. > :09:19.We've been very, very careful with our words during these broadcasts
:09:19. > :09:26.on Tripoli and the fall of the capital. Can we finally say it's
:09:26. > :09:34.over now for Colonel Gaddafi? think we can. I think today the
:09:34. > :09:38.24th August will be seen as the day when the six month and one week
:09:38. > :09:43.revolution finally succeeded. Everybody here talks about the 17th
:09:43. > :09:48.February when it began. I suspect the 24th August will be seen as the
:09:48. > :09:55.time it ended. Certainly what everybody in the streets seems to
:09:55. > :09:59.feel. I have rarely seen such an outrush of extraordinary feeling,
:09:59. > :10:04.as people driving around the streets, firing endlessly into the
:10:04. > :10:10.air. You can perhaps hear the firing still going on. It's fading
:10:10. > :10:15.now as the end of Ramadan for the day comes closer. Nevertheless,
:10:15. > :10:20.it's been an extraordinary day. I think everybody here thinks it is
:10:20. > :10:23.entirely over. Jon, everyone in the region and here remembers what
:10:23. > :10:29.happened in Iraq after Saddam Hussein. The transitional council
:10:29. > :10:33.still has a tough job to do, doesn't it? It certainly does. Of
:10:33. > :10:38.course the first responsibility that it has I think to some extent
:10:38. > :10:43.at any rate, is to catch Colonel Gaddafi. Without that, it will not
:10:43. > :10:52.be final, any more than it was in Iraq. But, you know, what happened
:10:52. > :10:55.in Iraq eight years ago was really that Saddam Hussein almost
:10:55. > :11:01.immediately ceased to be a figure of significance whatsoever in the
:11:01. > :11:05.country. He was put on trial and executed. Almost forgotten you
:11:05. > :11:11.could say in Iraq. I think the same thing will happen with Colonel
:11:11. > :11:15.Gaddafi. However it ends, whether it is by his own hand or whether he
:11:15. > :11:19.is captured, whatever that may be, I think you will find the new
:11:19. > :11:27.Government will simply put all that aside and start moving forward very
:11:27. > :11:32.quickly indeed. Thank you both. We will have more on Libya later in
:11:32. > :11:37.the programme. Now the rest of the news. The man who murdered Philip
:11:37. > :11:42.Lawrence outside his school in 1995 has been cleared of robbing someone
:11:42. > :11:45.at a cash machine in North London. Learco Chindamo, who is 31 was

:12:11. > :12:15.be the first juvenile involved in the rights to have his right to

:12:19. > :12:24.posting messages on a group called "Letz Start a Riot." He will be
:12:24. > :12:29.sentenced next month. An investigation has found a
:12:29. > :12:34.policeman used excessive force when he dragged a disabled man during
:12:34. > :12:37.student protests in London. The IPCC said the Metropolitan Police
:12:37. > :12:43.should apology to the man Jody McIntyre, after he was struck with

:12:53. > :12:59.and police that December night. But the way in which Jody McIntyre
:12:59. > :13:05.was removed from his wheelchair and dragged from the road has resulted
:13:05. > :13:11.-- into two investigations. Today the IPCC decided it was appropriate
:13:11. > :13:14.to move him as police attempted to control the streets, but that they
:13:14. > :13:18.used excessive force. The police watchdog has concluded that the
:13:18. > :13:23.incident, right here in the heart of Westminster, may have amounted
:13:23. > :13:29.to an assault, and should have been reported to prosecutors. Six months
:13:30. > :13:37.on, the time limit for that has now passed. Why is it that when young
:13:37. > :13:46.people are rioting in London they have the courts open 24 hours a day,
:13:46. > :13:51.seven days a week, but when a police officer commits a crime they
:13:51. > :13:55.overrun the six-month limit to prosecute that officer? Mr McIntyre
:13:55. > :14:00.is a prominent activist. He was at the forefront of the student
:14:00. > :14:05.protests. The Met's investigation concluded he was inadvertantly
:14:05. > :14:10.struck by a police baton in this earlier incident. No officer was
:14:10. > :14:13.blamed. The IPCC report said the force should have apologised and
:14:14. > :14:18.officers should have been given words of advice. Jody McIntyre has
:14:18. > :14:23.been criticised for suggesting on Twitter that neighbourhoods should
:14:23. > :14:26.be inspired by the recent riots and rise up against the police. He has
:14:26. > :14:31.argued, following his experiences in December that public order
:14:31. > :14:41.policing is too heavy-handed. In recent weeks the criticism has
:14:41. > :14:45.

:15:51. > :15:56.makes them feel anxious. It is believed the problem has caused
:15:56. > :16:00.millions of pounds to be wasted on the NHS. It is natural, people get
:16:00. > :16:04.stressed when they come to see the doctor. It means people are being
:16:04. > :16:11.exposed to treatment and therefore receiving medicines when perhaps
:16:11. > :16:16.they do not need them. Getting a correct diagnosis for patients like

:16:25. > :16:29.type of test. To get a more accurate picture, Sheila has been
:16:29. > :16:33.asked to wear one of these portable monitors, which takes a reading
:16:33. > :16:39.every half-an-hour. This could become the standard way of testing
:16:39. > :16:43.for hypertension across the NHS in England and Wales. Over 24 hours,

:22:41. > :22:44.the continuing battle for Tripoli between the rebels and forces still
:22:44. > :22:49.loyal to Colonel Gaddafi. There has been fierce fighting throughout the
:22:49. > :22:52.day inside Gaddafi's compound in the capital city. The rebels appear
:22:52. > :22:55.to be coming under attack from government troops still holed up
:22:55. > :22:58.inside some of the buildings and from others hidden nearby. And
:22:58. > :23:01.Libya's government in waiting has offered Colonel Gaddafi free
:23:01. > :23:10.passage out of the country, but it is also promising an amnesty and a

:23:14. > :23:17.who had been trapped by pro-Gaddafi fighters in a Tripoli hotel since
:23:17. > :23:23.Sunday have been freed. The Rixos Hotel is just a couple of miles
:23:23. > :23:27.from Colonel Gaddafi's compound. Armed guards prevented the group of
:23:27. > :23:31.around 35 foreigners from leaving. But this afternoon they were
:23:31. > :23:33.released as fierce fighting raged outside. Amongst them was a BBC
:23:33. > :23:41.team of five, including our correspondent Matthew Price, and we
:23:41. > :23:48.can talk to Matthew now. It was not just journalists in that hotel, it
:23:48. > :23:52.must have been quite an ordeal... Yes, as well as the host of
:23:52. > :23:57.international journalists, there was also a former US Congressmen
:23:57. > :24:02.and parliamentarian from India. It was a huge ordeal. In a way, it
:24:02. > :24:06.started 12 days ago, when the town of Zawiya was cut off, which meant
:24:06. > :24:10.that the route used by the government to get journalists in
:24:10. > :24:15.and out of Tripoli was also cut off. We then started to explore options
:24:15. > :24:19.of how we might eventually get out of Tripoli, for example, by sea.
:24:19. > :24:24.But then, with the uprising on Saturday, and the celebrations in
:24:24. > :24:28.Green Square, we realised that we might be stuck for some time. The
:24:28. > :24:32.government minders drifted off, slowly but surely. Some of them had
:24:32. > :24:37.their weapons around for a while. On Monday morning we woke up, and
:24:37. > :24:42.it was these new guys in civilian clothes with Gaddafi green bandanas
:24:42. > :24:47.around their heads, carrying Kalashnikovs. At that point, the
:24:47. > :24:51.power went off in the hotel, the water stopped as well. Food and
:24:51. > :24:55.water was always worrying, and of course constantly, we had the
:24:55. > :24:58.sounds of battle around us. We really did begin to wonder if at
:24:58. > :25:03.some point we might become some sort of human shield for the
:25:03. > :25:08.Gaddafi forces which we assumed that some point would reach our
:25:08. > :25:14.hotel and perhaps even use it as a barracks. When did you actually
:25:14. > :25:19.realise that Colonel Gaddafi had lost control of his capital? This
:25:19. > :25:26.probably sounds bizarre to people, but we were in a 200 metre square
:25:26. > :25:30.area, which was still controlled by Gaddafi's forces. Throughout Monday,
:25:30. > :25:34.and for most of Tuesday, there were these guys around, a group of 10 or
:25:34. > :25:38.12, and we believe there were snipers on the roof as well. And
:25:38. > :25:43.then today, when we woke up this morning, there were just two guards
:25:43. > :25:46.left, and we asked them if we could leave, and they said no, we're
:25:46. > :25:50.keeping you here for your protection. We're waiting for our
:25:50. > :25:54.forces, the Gaddafi forces, to take control of the city again. We
:25:54. > :25:59.thought it was astonishing that we wondered if there was some logic to
:25:59. > :26:02.what they were saying. And then a New York Times journalist and his
:26:02. > :26:10.team walked through the door without anybody armour on, strode
:26:10. > :26:20.into the hotel... I'm afraid we have lost Matthew Price. Time for
:26:20. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:27.August continues to be pretty topsy-turvy. Some pretty heavy
:26:27. > :26:34.showers around this evening. And there is more of the wet stuff on
:26:34. > :26:38.the way tonight. At the moment, heavy showers across Birmingham,
:26:38. > :26:40.Newcastle and Edinburgh. After those, the next bit of rain comes
:26:40. > :26:49.up from the south-west of England. It becomes much more extensive
:26:49. > :26:54.overnight. Up to 40mm of rain will fall in some sports. It will be
:26:54. > :27:04.quite chilly in Scotland and Northern Ireland. This rain will
:27:04. > :27:07.
:27:07. > :27:11.make a pretty miserable rush-hour in these areas. In the south-west
:27:11. > :27:21.of England, some wet weather this evening, and tomorrow, some sunny
:27:21. > :27:22.
:27:22. > :27:26.spells, but showers throughout the day. In Northern Ireland, a day of
:27:26. > :27:35.sunshine and showers. Similar in Scotland. Although not too many
:27:35. > :27:40.showers first up here. Running through tomorrow, you can see this
:27:40. > :27:45.wet weather in the east, likely to linger on the coast until well into
:27:45. > :27:51.the afternoon. Then we have a slice of sunshine. But lots more showers
:27:51. > :27:57.in the west. The risk of thunderstorms, particularly in
:27:57. > :28:02.South Wales and the south-west of England. And we're still not done,
:28:02. > :28:07.Friday could be very soggy indeed, particularly across eastern areas.
:28:07. > :28:11.We keep the showers into the weekend. But I'm hopeful that
:28:11. > :28:14.during the weekend, the showers during the weekend, the showers
