:00:11. > :00:18.D He's on the run, he's in hiding, but Colonel Gaddafi issues another

:00:18. > :00:22.call to arms. In a radio broadcast, from a secret location, he calls on

:00:22. > :00:28.supporters to come out of their homes and kill the rats.

:00:28. > :00:32.We go inside the dictator's former underground bunker, his former

:00:32. > :00:37.command centre. This secret world was incredibly well constructed.

:00:37. > :00:44.The ceilings here are high, the walls very solid.

:00:44. > :00:48.Hospitals in Tripoli are struggling to cope. They are running out of

:00:48. > :00:52.basic supplies, amid warnings of a humanitarian crisis. The final

:00:52. > :01:01.hours in the battle for the capital, new allegations of retribution and

:01:01. > :01:08.atrocities committed by both sides. Now opposition forces advance on

:01:08. > :01:13.Gaddafi's birthplace - the regime's last stronghold. Also tonight:

:01:13. > :01:17.Another record-breaking year for GCSE results. Girls are further

:01:17. > :01:24.ahead than boys. Net migration is up, as more Eastern Europeans are

:01:24. > :01:30.coming to live here and fewer Brits are going abroad. IPod, iPhone, I

:02:04. > :02:08.Good evening. Welcome to the BBC's news at 6pm. He's on the run, but

:02:08. > :02:13.Libya's Colonel Gaddafi has issued another call to arms. He's told

:02:13. > :02:19.supporters to resist what he called enemy rats.

:02:19. > :02:24.Within the last hour, his words were broadcast on a pro-regime

:02:24. > :02:27.channel, calling on all supporters to purrryfy Tripoli. In the capital,

:02:28. > :02:32.medical staff are working at full stretch, dealing with casualties

:02:32. > :02:37.from the last four days of bitter fighting. On tonight's news at 6pm,

:02:37. > :02:41.we will report on warnings of a humanitarian crisis. We go into the

:02:41. > :02:47.dictator's underground network of bunkers and we are with rebel

:02:47. > :02:54.forces as they prepare to confront the regime's last stronghold. Orla

:02:54. > :02:58.Guerin's report contains some distressing images.

:02:58. > :03:02.Descending into Colonel Gaddafi's underground fortress.

:03:02. > :03:07.A warren of tunnels which run for miles and could have been his

:03:07. > :03:15.escape route. Today, rebel fighters were taking the tour, seeing where

:03:15. > :03:21.Gaddafi's troops had been holed up. Abandoned in a corner, some of

:03:21. > :03:26.their supplies. This underground labyrinth, this secret world was

:03:26. > :03:30.incredibly well constructed. The ceilings here are high, the walls

:03:30. > :03:34.very solid. Over here, I have just found a phone which was obviously

:03:34. > :03:39.used for internal communications. This is a kind of a motorised cart.

:03:39. > :03:44.It looks like a golf buggy. Who knows if the Libyan leader was

:03:44. > :03:49.transported through these tunnels in this cart? The Libyan leader

:03:49. > :03:54.thought he would not be disturbed here behind these reinforced doors.

:03:54. > :03:59.While he may have been able to flee into the shadows above ground,

:03:59. > :04:04.others were cut down in the battle for Tripoli. At the edge of the

:04:04. > :04:09.compound today, we found bodies lying where they fell.

:04:09. > :04:15.We can't say who killed them. This man appears to have been executed.

:04:16. > :04:20.His hands were still bound. A short distance away, in Abu Salim

:04:20. > :04:26.the rebels are hunting for a sniper's nest. Up ahead, a glimpse

:04:26. > :04:36.of a bigger threat. Could these be enemy troops?

:04:36. > :04:41.

:04:41. > :04:45.That was the answer. Soon a full-scale street battle.

:04:45. > :04:50.The fighters were dangerously exposed.

:04:50. > :05:00.They braut out their improvised big guns. -- brought out their

:05:00. > :05:01.

:05:01. > :05:05.improvised big guns and their rocket-propelled grenades.

:05:05. > :05:09.Another loud burst of rebel gunfire there. They believe they there are

:05:09. > :05:19.Colonel Gaddafi's troops up this road. They have been trying to push

:05:19. > :05:21.

:05:22. > :05:27.forward. They say it's.... For about an hour, we were pinned down.

:05:27. > :05:34.Eventually we managed to get away. This was just one pocket of

:05:34. > :05:42.resistance. Who knows how many more there may be?

:05:42. > :05:48.And how long it will take to free Abu Salim? Down the road, this man

:05:48. > :05:52.told us his entire family is trapped behind enemy lines. "I'm

:05:52. > :06:00.ready to die to get them out," he said. The rebels are tightening

:06:01. > :06:04.their grip here, but in the capital these are still dangerous days.

:06:04. > :06:08.The four-day battle for Tripoli has seen some of the most vicious

:06:08. > :06:12.fighting yet. Tonight, there are signs of retribution meted out by

:06:12. > :06:18.both sides in the final desperate clashes. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes

:06:18. > :06:22.reports from one of the main hospital in the Mitiga district,

:06:22. > :06:27.where there is evidence of how the die-hard supporters of the regime

:06:27. > :06:31.dealt with their opponents. Outside the Mitiga Hospital in

:06:31. > :06:34.Tripoli, they are loading the remains of 17 men on to a truck.

:06:35. > :06:40.The bodies were brought here yesterday and handed over to a

:06:40. > :06:43.shocked and horrified staff. They think these 17 men were picked

:06:43. > :06:47.up by Gaddafi forces at check points around the city and taken to

:06:47. > :06:52.a school house near here, which was used as a temporary prison. They

:06:52. > :06:55.were then tortured. As the Gaddafi forces retreated they were executed.

:06:55. > :07:00.The stench here is appalling. I have been inside. I can tell you

:07:00. > :07:05.one of the victims looks to be about 15 years old. This is now the

:07:05. > :07:10.scene of a war crimes investigation. This doctor from Manchester, who is

:07:10. > :07:13.a volunteer in Libya, is suddenly its chief investigator. We spent

:07:13. > :07:17.some time investigating the bodies so these things could be documented

:07:17. > :07:21.in case they needed to be sent as evidence to the International

:07:21. > :07:27.Criminal Court. A lot of the injuries, I would say half of the

:07:27. > :07:30.17 bodies had bullet wounds to the back of the head. Many of them had

:07:30. > :07:34.disfiguring injuries to their legs and hands which could not be quite

:07:34. > :07:38.explained. Inside the hospital, the wards are crowded with wounded

:07:38. > :07:44.rebels and civilians. Doctors here say they have been overwhelmed by

:07:44. > :07:50.the fighting. In a corner of one ward, we meet this man. He is the

:07:50. > :07:56.only survivor of the school executions.

:07:56. > :08:00.He says they were tortured for days. Urine was poured over them and

:08:00. > :08:06.finally two nights ago they were ordered outside.

:08:06. > :08:11.The men were made to Neil against a wall, he says, and -- knell against

:08:11. > :08:13.a wall he says and sprayed with machine gunfire. If they catch

:08:13. > :08:22.Gaddafi alive evidence from men like this may be crucial to a

:08:22. > :08:28.prosecution at The Hague. Let's go live to Tripoli and join

:08:28. > :08:32.our world affairs editor Jon Simpson, who is there. Earlier I

:08:32. > :08:37.saw reports, claims that the rebel forces had surrounded what they

:08:37. > :08:42.thought was the Colonel's hidout. What do you make of those -- hide-

:08:42. > :08:51.out, what do you make of those rumours? It turned out there were a

:08:51. > :08:55.couple of snipers in a a building that is just, that just edges on to

:08:55. > :09:02.his former compound. There's been a lot of fighting there, a lot of

:09:02. > :09:09.shooting there. And the two snipers were killed. No sign of Gaddafi. If

:09:09. > :09:12.you recall what happened in 2003, in Iraq, when Saddam Hussein was

:09:12. > :09:18.overthrown, first of all there were endless stories about sightings and

:09:18. > :09:26.so forth. It is just part of what tends to happen when a regime like

:09:26. > :09:31.this falls. Everyone b everybody of course is longing on the rebel side

:09:31. > :09:34.to see Colonel Gaddafi captured. We are in the last round, as it were

:09:34. > :09:43.of the fighting. You can perhaps hear people shooting in the

:09:43. > :09:52.background now to me. They are not firing at anybody. They are firing

:09:52. > :09:57.in the air out of joy. Apologies. We had a few technical problems

:09:57. > :10:01.there. They are preparing for what could

:10:01. > :10:07.be the final battle of the six- month revolution in the city of

:10:07. > :10:17.Sirte. They are up against the Colonel's most fervent supporters.

:10:17. > :10:20.

:10:20. > :10:27.It's not over yet. Though the battlefield is shrinking.

:10:27. > :10:31.These rebels are pushing up re- enforcements. They are facing a

:10:31. > :10:36.stubborn enemy. We are 60 miles from Sirte, Colonel Gaddafi's home

:10:36. > :10:41.town. His forces had been expected to retreat there, to make a last

:10:41. > :10:45.stand. They have not been falling back. Far from it.

:10:45. > :10:50.We were engaged with the enemy from this morning with heavy artillery.

:10:50. > :10:55.Maybe you could hear the explosions every now and again. They had the

:10:55. > :11:00.chance to go back to Sirte. They did not. I they are coming from

:11:00. > :11:05.Sirte now. REPORTER: They are attacking? They are attacking us.

:11:05. > :11:09.This group of rebels believe they are facing more than 1,000 Gaddafi

:11:09. > :11:14.troops a few miles up the road. They are baffled by the continued

:11:14. > :11:20.resistance. Gaddafi ran away. They got Tripoli.

:11:20. > :11:24.Game over. Apparently they - it's personal. I don't know what they

:11:25. > :11:28.are fiegtding in. They must -- fighting for. They must believe in

:11:28. > :11:32.this guy. We have them in the corner. It is a matter of time now.

:11:32. > :11:35.The rebels hope that talks with tribal leaders in Sirte will end

:11:35. > :11:40.this peacefully. If not they are building up forces on either side

:11:41. > :11:44.of the town. Military commanders on this side

:11:44. > :11:49.had confidently predicted that once Colonel Gaddafi was removed from

:11:49. > :11:54.power his followers would give up the fight. Some of the loyalists,

:11:55. > :11:59.at least, are confounding those expectations. They seem determined

:11:59. > :12:03.to fight for the last few slithers of territory which belong to the

:12:03. > :12:11.old regime. This afternoon, exchanges between the Gaddafi

:12:11. > :12:21.troops artillery and rebel tanks. Both sides seem to be digging in

:12:21. > :12:23.

:12:23. > :12:26.Today, the rebels have called for urgent financial help from the

:12:26. > :12:30.international community to establish a new Government. Here,

:12:30. > :12:34.the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, insisted Britain's resolve

:12:34. > :12:38.to help protect civilians were unwavering. Our correspondent is at

:12:38. > :12:43.the Foreign Office now. On the question of money, how quickly can

:12:43. > :12:45.the international community deliver this to opposition forces in Libya?

:12:45. > :12:48.Well, the Foreign Office here, William Hague, the British

:12:48. > :12:52.Government and the French and the United States are among those who

:12:52. > :12:58.think it should be very easy to channel large amounts of money to

:12:58. > :13:04.the opposition in Libya. Why? Because of course the UN froze the

:13:04. > :13:08.Gaddafi regime assets overseas. We are talking about a fantastic sum

:13:08. > :13:11.of money, some �100 billion spread around the world from the Gaddafi

:13:11. > :13:16.regime. It has to be unfrozen of course. That is where the problems

:13:16. > :13:20.start. Some countries are holding out against an unfreezing by the UN,

:13:21. > :13:25.particularly the South Africans. They have a long history of active

:13:25. > :13:29.support for Colonel Gaddafi. It dates back to the days when Nelson

:13:29. > :13:35.Mandela was released from prison. Colonel Gaddafi was one of the

:13:35. > :13:38.first he visited. He thought he had given unwaiving support to the ANC.

:13:38. > :13:43.That translates into today's realities where South Africa is

:13:43. > :13:47.reluctant to recognise the rebels and so far is holding out than

:13:47. > :13:51.releasing other than a small amount of money. There's more about the

:13:51. > :14:01.on-going situation in Libya on our special live page online. It brings

:14:01. > :14:03.

:14:03. > :14:09.together all the latest news and Now for the day's other main news.

:14:09. > :14:13.It has been a record year for GCSEs. In England results have improved

:14:13. > :14:19.for the 23rd year in a row. Wales did better than last year. In

:14:19. > :14:24.Northern Ireland there was a slight drop. Overall, the pass rate was

:14:24. > :14:28.almost 93%. Almost 70% of entries gained grade C or above. More than

:14:28. > :14:37.one in five of those scored an A star or an A. Our correspondent

:14:37. > :14:41.reports. A scream of success. This was yet

:14:41. > :14:45.another record year for GCSE pass rates.

:14:45. > :14:49.Now it is decision time for 16 year olds as they consider their options

:14:49. > :14:53.for the future, whether their grades were better or worse than

:14:53. > :14:58.expected. They could be better. what you wanted? No. This year,

:14:58. > :15:03.there was a big rise in students taking separate science GCSEs. The

:15:03. > :15:08.Government is concerned there has been a fall in pupils studying

:15:08. > :15:15.modern languages, history and geography. Jonathan Lester is an

:15:15. > :15:21.academic success story w an A and ten A stars in traditional subjects.

:15:21. > :15:26.It gives you the confidence to know if you study academic subjects you

:15:26. > :15:33.can go to a good university. There is a gender gap. It is wider than

:15:33. > :15:38.ever when it comes to the top. Of girls 26.5% get an A or A star.

:15:38. > :15:43.Compared to boys, where less than 20% of entries are awarded the top

:15:43. > :15:46.grades. B in maths... The coalition has

:15:46. > :15:50.made this a year change for education. The last before

:15:50. > :15:54.university fees rise and the last without education maintenance

:15:54. > :15:59.allowance, which helps 16 year olds from less well off back grounds

:15:59. > :16:02.stay in education. It provided stability for students

:16:02. > :16:06.and reassurance that they didn't have to concentrate on earning

:16:06. > :16:10.money. EMA will be available in Scotland, Wales and Northern

:16:10. > :16:14.Ireland. Education is not for everyone.

:16:14. > :16:24.After leafing school this boy became an apprentice for Airbus in

:16:24. > :16:25.

:16:25. > :16:29.I always wanted to do engineering and did not want to stay in school.

:16:29. > :16:34.Millions has been invested in to decide which trains employees and

:16:34. > :16:39.David Cameron shows that enthusiasm, he has vowed to create 10,000

:16:39. > :16:43.apprenticeships. But the coalition says that is not at the expense of

:16:43. > :16:48.schools. Peckham is one of the most deprived areas in London but ahead

:16:48. > :16:52.of this school has seemed improvement in results. Sogo

:16:53. > :16:59.Akintaro has won a scholarship. teachers make sure we get the best

:16:59. > :17:04.results. The pressure will remain on schools. In England, the

:17:04. > :17:09.government is aiming for a target of five good GCSEs for at least

:17:09. > :17:12.half of students. More Eastern Europeans are coming to live

:17:12. > :17:17.permanently here in the UK and fewer Britons are opting to move

:17:17. > :17:21.abroad. As a result, net migration is up. The Government has promised

:17:21. > :17:24.to reduce net migration numbers to under 100,000 by 2015. Tom Symonds

:17:24. > :17:28.reports now on whether the target is achievable.

:17:28. > :17:34.You never used two CDs of the British high street. The Polish

:17:34. > :17:40.shop. -- you never used to CDs. Eastern European started to come to

:17:40. > :17:49.the UK after eight countries were admitted to the EU in 2004. A magic

:17:49. > :17:53.number measures how many people come. Net migration of last year

:17:53. > :17:59.was 239,000 and ministers want to get that below 90,000, but migrants

:17:59. > :18:02.go where the money is. The standard of living is very low in Poland,

:18:02. > :18:08.the wages are low and the cost of living is nearly the same as in

:18:08. > :18:14.this country. The goals in this shop owned five or six times in

:18:14. > :18:18.England -- the girls. That is despite the state of our economy.

:18:19. > :18:24.Immigrants coming from eastern Europe rose to 71,000 last year.

:18:24. > :18:27.Off-course, migration is a two-way street and until recently, the

:18:27. > :18:31.number of Europeans coming to Britain was fairly well-matched but

:18:31. > :18:35.the number of us heading abroad, but now the number of people

:18:35. > :18:40.emigrating from Britain has fallen to a six-year low, making it harder

:18:40. > :18:44.for the government to hit its targets. It is trying. Student

:18:44. > :18:49.visas are more tightly controlled, there are caps on some foreign

:18:49. > :18:54.workers, but under EU law, the government has no power from

:18:54. > :18:57.stopping eastern Europeans from coming here. There is a danger of

:18:57. > :19:00.the government promising to deliver a reduction, which it cannot

:19:00. > :19:05.deliver because there are large part of immigration that it cannot

:19:05. > :19:09.control. Immigration is one of ministers biggest challenges but

:19:09. > :19:12.they do have hope. What any sensible government does his

:19:12. > :19:18.control what you can control and what we can control is the number

:19:18. > :19:22.of people coming from outside the EU, who provide the vast bulk of

:19:22. > :19:26.overall net migration increases that we saw under Labour. Some

:19:26. > :19:29.experts said tonight the government could only hit its target if it

:19:29. > :19:34.ignored the thousands of Polish people already here and measured

:19:34. > :19:41.success by the amount of non- Europeans denied entry.

:19:41. > :19:47.Our top story tonight: In Libya, Colonel Gaddafi has issued a new

:19:47. > :19:51.call for his supporters to kill the rebels. Coming up: The man behind

:22:37. > :22:40.night. He was later taken to hospital and then released.

:22:41. > :22:43.He brought us the iPod, the iPhone and a host of iconic gadgets, but

:22:44. > :22:49.now one of the most influential bosses in the technology world is

:22:49. > :22:52.stepping down. Steve Jobs is resigning as chief executive of the

:22:52. > :23:01.computer giant Apple after struggling with health problems.

:23:01. > :23:06.Rory Cellan-Jones has the story. From the Apple Macintosh to the

:23:06. > :23:09.iPod to be iPad. It is the company that has persuaded consumers to pay

:23:09. > :23:14.top prices for gadgets that look and sometimes work better than

:23:14. > :23:19.their rivals. We are going to make some history today. Apple's

:23:19. > :23:23.founding genius was never one to undersell his products. Now he is

:23:23. > :23:33.stepping down. Steve Jobs has been in poor health for some time and in

:23:33. > :23:40.

:23:40. > :23:45.a letter to the Apple board, who You have just seen some pictures of

:23:45. > :23:48.Mackintosh. Now I would like to show you it in person. Despite his

:23:48. > :23:52.early success with the ground- breaking Apple Mac, he was forced

:23:52. > :23:57.out of Apple in the 80s but returned a decade later to breed

:23:57. > :24:00.new life in this ailing company. Not everyone liked his autocratic

:24:00. > :24:06.style but one long-term admirer sent me this message about his

:24:06. > :24:10.iPhone. It is Stephen Fry, I am very happy to speak about Steve

:24:10. > :24:14.Jobs because I am lucky to have known him for some time. I don't

:24:14. > :24:19.think there is a human being on the planet who has been as influential

:24:19. > :24:23.in the last 30 years on the way culture has developed. For Steve

:24:23. > :24:28.Jobs, think different was not just a slogan, it is the way he ran his

:24:28. > :24:32.business. Nobody thought a computer firm knew anything about the music

:24:32. > :24:37.business before the iPod came along and changed everything. Apple had

:24:37. > :24:42.never made a mobile phone before the iPhone came along, and the idea

:24:42. > :24:46.that many people would want to use a tablet computer seemed far-

:24:46. > :24:50.fetched before Steve Jobs showed off the iPad. Now the firm will

:24:50. > :24:53.have to think different without him. Continuing to break new ground

:24:53. > :24:58.without the man who has come to embody a book he is bound to be a

:24:58. > :25:03.challenge. I think it will be hard for them to really find that level

:25:03. > :25:06.of commitment and passion that Steve brought. That said, there are

:25:06. > :25:10.still extraordinary people at Apple, it is still one of the great

:25:11. > :25:15.companies of the world. The loyal fans who queued for every new

:25:15. > :25:22.product will not move away in a hurry, but the firm's new leaders

:25:22. > :25:26.will have to prove that they too can spot the next big thing.

:25:26. > :25:30.The hunt goes on for Colonel Gaddafi but he has issued another

:25:30. > :25:35.defiant call to arms for his supporters. Pockets of fighting

:25:35. > :25:40.continued in Tripoli as Die Hards resist the rebels. We had been

:25:40. > :25:44.inside the dictator's hidden bunkers beneath the compound to see

:25:44. > :25:48.his command centre and we have seen how there is a growing humanitarian

:25:48. > :25:52.crisis in Libya, with hospital struggling to cope with the wounded

:25:52. > :25:57.from the bitter fighting of the last few days. Let's get the final

:25:57. > :26:04.word from John Simpson. When we see the pictures from Tripoli, it seems

:26:04. > :26:10.very chaotic. What is it like? Is there central direction?

:26:10. > :26:14.Well, the thing is, George, as you can perhaps here, there is firing

:26:14. > :26:20.going on. There is still a lot of shooting but it isn't actually

:26:20. > :26:25.fighting battles, it really is still celebrating. The battles are

:26:25. > :26:29.few and far between. There was one this afternoon when they thought

:26:29. > :26:34.they had caught Colonel Gaddafi but hadn't. Those things do go on.

:26:34. > :26:39.There are pockets of fighting where they are weeding out individuals

:26:39. > :26:42.snipers. That is still going on. But in terms of the city itself,

:26:42. > :26:48.you can drive around it just about everywhere without too many

:26:48. > :26:53.problems, and the rebels themselves do seem to be quite disciplined.

:26:53. > :26:58.They behave quite reasonably to everybody and they seem to be

:26:58. > :27:00.obeying orders. What there isn't here is proper electricity, water,

:27:00. > :27:10.and there is not any proper government.

:27:10. > :27:14.Thank you. A fine evening for quite a few of

:27:14. > :27:19.us but there is more rain, particularly across Northern

:27:19. > :27:23.Ireland, South Wales and south-west England, and then later in the

:27:23. > :27:27.night we are expecting more heavy rain to creep across the South East.

:27:27. > :27:33.We will keep those showers in the south-west corner well into the

:27:33. > :27:39.night. Temperatures can drop down to single figures in the north. On

:27:39. > :27:44.Friday, there will be some sunny spells on offer, particularly

:27:44. > :27:51.across Scotland early on. But we will see showers. But the main

:27:51. > :27:54.focus is a wreath in England, where it will be a very, very soggy day.

:27:54. > :27:59.Much of Yorkshire, a good part of the Midlands and East Anglia will

:27:59. > :28:04.see rain, and with that rain on the east coast, temperatures just 15

:28:04. > :28:09.degrees. This up the east should bright up but there may be very

:28:09. > :28:15.heavy showers on the south-west coast. Every now and then, there

:28:15. > :28:24.will be sunny intervals. Some thunderstorms perhaps across parts

:28:24. > :28:28.of Wales. Once the fog goes, Northern Ireland should brighten up.

:28:28. > :28:33.A few showers in Scotland. Make the most of that in Scotland tomorrow

:28:33. > :28:38.because on Saturday, the rain in eastern England extends North,

:28:38. > :28:41.accompanied by an unusually strong wind. Really quite miserable in the

:28:41. > :28:47.North East. Elsewhere will be breezy with sunny spells but a lot

:28:47. > :28:52.of showers. Through the weekend, hopefully the showers will be fewer

:28:52. > :28:55.and further in between. It will turn dry, if not necessarily

:28:55. > :29:03.heating up too much. More on the weekend and the Hurricane Irene
