:00:09. > :00:12.This is BBC World News Today with me, Kirsty Lang. Libyan rebels give

:00:12. > :00:22.Gaddafi's forces an ultimatum - surrender by Saturday or face an

:00:22. > :00:22.

:00:22. > :00:27.all-out assault. The question then is what will

:00:27. > :00:30.happen when the Gaddafi forces have no Ross to retreat to and perhaps

:00:30. > :00:32.have to make a last stand. Supporters of South Africa's

:00:32. > :00:35.controversial ANC youth leader, Julius Malema, clash with police

:00:35. > :00:38.ahead of his disciplinary hearing. Europe's super-rich say they've got

:00:38. > :00:43.a solution to the continent's financial crisis - tax us more.

:00:43. > :00:46.We'll hear from one of them. And the gold rush deep in the

:00:46. > :00:56.Australian bush - with gold prices rising we report on how Australia's

:00:56. > :01:03.

:01:03. > :01:06.prospectors are hoping to improve their own fortunes.

:01:06. > :01:08.Hello and welcome. Surrender or else - that's the

:01:08. > :01:12.message from Libya's new leaders to die-hard supporters of Colonel

:01:12. > :01:15.Gaddafi. They've given them until Saturday to lay down their arms or

:01:15. > :01:19.face an all-out military assault on the areas still under pro-Gaddafi

:01:19. > :01:29.control. They include the Colonel's birthplace of Sirte and two other

:01:29. > :01:33.

:01:33. > :01:37.towns. Meanwhile, the transitional

:01:37. > :01:41.government has criticised Algeria for giving a refuge to Gaddafi's

:01:41. > :01:50.family. The rebels are firmly in control of

:01:50. > :01:54.Tripoli, but Sirte, Gaddafi's home town, still in the hands of Gaddafi

:01:54. > :01:59.loyalists. It is about 250 miles east of here. Rebel forces are

:01:59. > :02:02.approaching it from both East and West, a sort of pincer movement.

:02:03. > :02:06.They have been trying to negotiate a surrender by the Gaddafi

:02:06. > :02:10.loyalists there, but there does not look like there is going to be any

:02:10. > :02:16.sort of ceasefire. So the rebels have now said they will give the

:02:16. > :02:23.Gaddafi loyalists in Sirte until Saturday to essentially surrender,

:02:23. > :02:32.laid down their arms, otherwise the rebels will attack with the fall

:02:32. > :02:34.Fire of their firepower. They say Zero hour is rapidly approaching.

:02:34. > :02:38.Paul Wood reports from outside Sirte.

:02:38. > :02:44.By Saturday, these men expect to be at the gates of Sirte. Then they

:02:44. > :02:47.will be face-to-face with thousands of Gaddafi loyalists. As you can

:02:47. > :02:51.see come people are in pretty good spirits, these fighters say they

:02:51. > :02:54.are not going to wait for the Muslim festival of beach macro.

:02:54. > :02:59.They're going to push right on through to Sirte. The question then

:02:59. > :03:04.is what will happen when the Gaddafi forces have no one else to

:03:04. > :03:08.retreat to and perhaps have to make a last stand. -- until Ead. The

:03:08. > :03:14.rebels hope it will not come to that. They have had intensive talks

:03:14. > :03:19.with tribal leaders. People here say a deal is being vetoed by

:03:19. > :03:27.diehard loyalists with blood on their hands. We don't expect that

:03:27. > :03:29.Gaddafi has soldiers any more. Some of the troops have no way and as

:03:29. > :03:36.they fight because they know that they have killed a lot of civilian

:03:36. > :03:41.people. In one of the villages just liberated, as the rebels say, they

:03:41. > :03:46.are preparing for the Heat feast. Food prices here rose 30 fold while

:03:46. > :03:50.the bridge was cut off. -- the heat -- the Heat feast. They glad that

:03:50. > :03:55.things are getting back to normal. The fighters have been told their

:03:55. > :03:59.leadership is trying to organise a two-day ceasefire for the holiday.

:03:59. > :04:06.For the time being, we are going to have a defence line here. We have

:04:06. > :04:11.to respect the holiday. As you know, it is the end of Ramadan. After the

:04:11. > :04:16.holiday, we will nor proceed on to a Sirte. Few of the role fighters

:04:16. > :04:26.we spoke to believe a truce will hold. Most didn't want it. They are

:04:26. > :04:26.

:04:26. > :04:30.winning and they want to press on to Sirte.

:04:30. > :04:36.Sirte is just one of many places where Colonel Gaddafi himself might

:04:36. > :04:41.be hiding. He is on the run and his whereabouts are unknown. But we do

:04:41. > :04:46.know the whereabouts of some of the prominent members of his family,

:04:46. > :04:54.who have escaped to Algeria, his wife Safia, his daughter Ayesha,

:04:54. > :04:59.who gave birth shortly after arriving, and two of his sons. The

:04:59. > :05:03.decision by the Algerian government has provoked outrage by the

:05:03. > :05:07.transitional council, is a tis an act of aggression by a jeering. But

:05:07. > :05:10.the Algerians are saying they are acting purely on humanitarian

:05:10. > :05:14.grounds. Here in Tripoli, life is slowly beginning to return to

:05:14. > :05:22.normal, but there are still huge sortileges -- shortages of food,

:05:22. > :05:25.water, electricity and fuel. Jeremy Bowen reports.

:05:26. > :05:31.Suspicion and insecurity are never far away in Tripoli. So it is

:05:31. > :05:36.remarkable how calm the city seems now. This is a way into Tajoura, a

:05:36. > :05:40.suburb that was a centre of opposition to the old regime. Sorry

:05:40. > :05:46.mop head, say the children, using a nickname inspired by Colonel

:05:46. > :05:50.Gaddafi's hair that might have put their parents in jail two weeks ago.

:05:50. > :05:53.The Libyans are now ready to be part of the world? We are all the

:05:53. > :06:03.time part of the world. We have never been out but someone left us

:06:03. > :06:04.

:06:04. > :06:09.out. But not everyone is happy. This woman wants her salary. There

:06:09. > :06:12.is 2 million in there, she says. We need a good system. We are tired.

:06:12. > :06:20.Everyone else queuing at the bank, all state employees, want to get

:06:20. > :06:24.paid. But her impatience angers the men. Shut up, he says, don't talk

:06:24. > :06:32.like that, we will get everything in the end. I won't shut up, I'm

:06:32. > :06:41.hungry, I want my money. She retreated to an alleyway. It has

:06:41. > :06:45.been three months since we were paid. The women were sympathetic. I

:06:45. > :06:53.am divorced, my salary is 400, have got three children, they can't wait.

:06:53. > :06:57.But the men said they were happy with their revolutionary euphoria.

:06:57. > :07:01.We don't even money, just freedom. Other Arab revolutionaries in

:07:01. > :07:04.Tunisia and Egypt were just as happy when they toppled their

:07:04. > :07:09.dictators. More than six months later, their excitement about the

:07:10. > :07:14.future has been lost in life's daily struggle. But freedom from

:07:14. > :07:18.fear makes you feel rich if you're just out of prison, like Mahmoud

:07:18. > :07:21.Abdullah Al-Tarhouni. He was arrested in early March of the

:07:21. > :07:27.organising the first anti- Gaddafi demonstrations here in Tajoura. He

:07:27. > :07:34.doesn't want Colonel Gaddafi dead. He wants in to see their triumph.

:07:34. > :07:39.want him to see how Libya will be without him, without his sons. We

:07:39. > :07:44.will build this country and I want him to see that. During the last

:07:44. > :07:47.six months, the streets were always tense, sometimes frightening and

:07:47. > :07:52.sometimes very violent. Now you can feel the relief that the colonel

:07:52. > :07:56.has gone. But they face really big challenges because for 40 years

:07:56. > :07:59.Colonel Gaddafi has taken away all the conventional institutions of

:08:00. > :08:08.government, and that means that in many ways they have to start again

:08:08. > :08:12.from scratch, that is going to be difficult.

:08:12. > :08:16.Let's go to Jon Leyne in the rebels' stronghold of Benghazi.

:08:16. > :08:20.Jeremy was talking about starting again. Where do the political

:08:20. > :08:25.leadership of the transitional council go from here? How soon do

:08:25. > :08:29.they start the job of rebuilding this country politically?

:08:29. > :08:33.They have already made preparations and drafted a constitution document.

:08:33. > :08:38.The real mechanics of it don't get going until then move to Tripoli

:08:38. > :08:42.and that looks like it could still be a while away. Some leaders say

:08:42. > :08:46.they don't want to do it until the whole country is liberated. So it

:08:46. > :08:51.might be a week or two was several weeks. Once they have done that,

:08:51. > :08:56.they have got quite a will drawn out timetable for forming a new

:08:56. > :09:05.government. They are putting a constitutional committee together.

:09:05. > :09:10.It will be the first free election in Libya's history is not until 18

:09:10. > :09:13.months away. I think they will accept that they pull together

:09:13. > :09:19.representatives from across the country, particularly a large

:09:19. > :09:23.number from Tripoli itself, to show people that this is it really a

:09:23. > :09:25.national representative government of all Libyans and they show Libyan

:09:25. > :09:29.as they are really working in their interest, which people think their

:09:29. > :09:34.current government has not been for 42 years. Once they do that, they

:09:34. > :09:38.have an enormous fund of goodwill. People are willing to wait days,

:09:39. > :09:42.weeks, months, years for the country to be put right, because so

:09:42. > :09:45.long as they trust that there is a government that is going in the

:09:45. > :09:49.right direction and has the best interests at heart.

:09:49. > :09:56.Very briefly, what is your reading of what is going to happen next in

:09:56. > :09:59.Sirte? We have this ultimatum of Saturday. It is hard to see the

:10:00. > :10:06.Gaddafi loyalist throwing in the towel until they are under much

:10:06. > :10:12.more military pressure. Maybe once they come under sustained military

:10:12. > :10:16.assault, then a free from the town. Jon Leyne in Benghazi, many thanks

:10:16. > :10:20.indeed. Here in Tripoli, there is his sense, although there is

:10:21. > :10:24.euphoria, there is also a sense that this is a -- an unfinished

:10:24. > :10:27.Revolution. Gaddafi is on the run and Sirte is yet to fall. There is

:10:27. > :10:32.something else as well, which is that tens of thousands of people

:10:32. > :10:35.are still missing, people who were taken captive by the Gaddafi regime

:10:35. > :10:40.in the last few months and their loved ones and families have heard

:10:40. > :10:50.nothing from them. They are still waiting. That is the latest from

:10:50. > :10:54.

:10:54. > :10:59.Tripoli. Algeria's reporting that Gaddafi's

:10:59. > :11:05.daughter gave birth to a baby girl today and that is proof that

:11:05. > :11:08.Algeria is acting in a compassionate way. I will be

:11:09. > :11:14.speaking to a former Algerian diplomat who is based in Libby

:11:14. > :11:18.about this situation. But let's get a bit of background on Algeria.

:11:18. > :11:21.These protests back in February, the last time we saw mass

:11:21. > :11:26.demonstrations in Algeria. People took to the streets to complain

:11:26. > :11:29.about rising food prices. A crack down so many of them carted off in

:11:29. > :11:34.handcuffs. But the demonstrators never gained a momentum that they

:11:34. > :11:38.did in Egypt and Tunisia. The question is, will fall of Colonel

:11:38. > :11:42.Gaddafi in neighbouring Libya galvanise the Algerian opposition.

:11:42. > :11:45.The scene is set in Libya -- in Algeria anyhow for widespread civil

:11:45. > :11:50.unrest. This could just give the politicisation which has been

:11:50. > :11:54.lacking so far, this will anger the Algerian people because the

:11:54. > :12:04.Algerian regime has been supporting Gaddafi to repress the so-called

:12:04. > :12:06.

:12:06. > :12:09.Arab Spring. Today, the Algerian President celebrated Ead. Abdul

:12:09. > :12:12.Aziz Bouteflika has ruled the country since 199. He took power

:12:12. > :12:18.following a decade of civil war between Islamist militants and the

:12:19. > :12:22.army. A war that saw between 150-2 on a 1000 people killed. But a

:12:22. > :12:27.figure has project himself as a peace broker, representing the army

:12:27. > :12:29.but reaching out Islamist fighters. As the course -- calls for

:12:29. > :12:35.democracy have occurred through the Arab world, he has made some

:12:35. > :12:38.concessions, like lifting the state of emergency but the ban on public

:12:38. > :12:43.protest remain. A mix-up that so much in the 90s, Algerians fear

:12:43. > :12:52.more unrest. But how long the regime can resist the winds of

:12:52. > :12:57.change blowing across North Africa? Reform meant Libyan deputy

:12:58. > :13:00.ambassador in the 90s is here. Thank you for joining us. Given

:13:00. > :13:06.that you know this relationship between Algeria and Libya quite

:13:06. > :13:12.well, were you surprised when the Algerian government allowed members

:13:12. > :13:15.of the Gaddafi family in? Basically not. Not at all. I know the type of

:13:15. > :13:21.relationship between the two regimes. By the way, they hate each

:13:21. > :13:24.other but they help each other at the same time. They hate each other

:13:24. > :13:33.because Gaddafi has created many troubles for Algeria. But from 94,

:13:33. > :13:37.95, they started to have sort of mutual assistance and help. Each

:13:37. > :13:44.country sent to the other country their opponents. They accuse them

:13:44. > :13:48.of being terrorists and in the name of tourism Algeria sent people to

:13:48. > :13:55.Gaddafi. So although they headed Gaddafi, the LGA is recognised that

:13:55. > :13:59.he could be useful in controlling dissent within Algeria? You have

:13:59. > :14:03.two brutal dictators and they help each other a lot. But they hate

:14:03. > :14:10.each other because Gaddafi has created too much trouble in

:14:10. > :14:14.southern Algeria, because he wanted to create a state and also the

:14:15. > :14:20.Gaddafi regime is the only regime in the area which does not

:14:20. > :14:25.recognise the Algerian borders. He was even requesting to get back

:14:25. > :14:29.about 15,000 square kilometres. What I don't understand is, if they

:14:30. > :14:37.don't much like Gaddafi and he has been a destabilising influence, why

:14:37. > :14:47.help him now when he is finished? Because the regime is not keeping -

:14:47. > :14:53.

:14:53. > :14:57.- not working for the people. They will not be becoming targets for

:14:57. > :15:00.the revolution. They know they're on the list for the Arab Spring.

:15:00. > :15:06.They know this is a movement of history and they cannot stop it but

:15:06. > :15:14.they tried to stop it. At the end of the day, it is a matter of life

:15:14. > :15:18.and death for them. They held in the last six months diplomatically,

:15:18. > :15:24.buy food and probably by sending mercenaries or released have and

:15:24. > :15:34.then crossing the borders, in order to make this one endless. But the

:15:34. > :15:36.

:15:36. > :15:39.war ended and that was big trouble Let's take a look at some of the

:15:39. > :15:41.day's other news. There's been a violent end to the

:15:41. > :15:44.holy month of Ramadan across Syria. Witnesses say Government troops

:15:44. > :15:47.opened fire on protesters when they spilled out onto the streets after

:15:47. > :15:50.morning prayers. Activists say at least seven people were shot dead

:15:50. > :15:51.by the security forces, including six in the province of Daraa in the

:15:51. > :15:55.south. Clean-up efforts are continuing

:15:55. > :15:59.along America's east coast after Tropical Storm Irene swept through.

:15:59. > :16:07.At least 40 people have been killed and millions remain without power.

:16:07. > :16:11.The storm has been hitting eastern Canada.

:16:11. > :16:16.The authorities in Sudan have denied allegations by international

:16:16. > :16:24.human rights groups that they are continuing aerial bombardments in

:16:24. > :16:29.the south. They told the BBC there had been no bombing since the

:16:29. > :16:32.President described the ceasefire last week forced of 19 miners have

:16:32. > :16:36.been rescued after spending a week underground in China, but three of

:16:36. > :16:41.their colleagues have been -- not been found.

:16:41. > :16:47.They say they survived by drinking water and nutrition packs that was

:16:47. > :16:49.sent to a Piper drilled into the ground.

:16:49. > :16:54.Now to South Africa, where there have been violent clashes between

:16:54. > :16:58.police and supporters of Julius Malema of the ANC Youth League. He

:16:58. > :17:03.is facing a disciplinary hearing because he is accused of bringing

:17:03. > :17:12.the governing party into disrepute. Mr Malema is accused of undermining

:17:12. > :17:18.his -- the authority of President Jacob Zuma. Karen Allen has more.

:17:18. > :17:23.It started off as peaceful protests in support of the ANC youth leader

:17:23. > :17:29.Julius Malema. The very quickly, the mood turned ugly, as the cloud

:17:29. > :17:33.-- crowd tried to march on the ANC party headquarters.

:17:33. > :17:43.Police fired stun grenades to try and seize back control. When that

:17:43. > :17:48.did not seem to work they brought the water-cannon Howard. -- out. A

:17:48. > :17:54.volley of bottles and stones in reply, as the crowds were treated

:17:54. > :17:58.and then regrouped. -- retreated. It was only when the area was

:17:58. > :18:03.cordoned off that the police seemed to regain control. There is anger

:18:03. > :18:08.here at the singling out of the ANC Youth Leader of Julius Malema, who

:18:08. > :18:11.could be expelled from the party for being a divisive force. As the

:18:11. > :18:19.youth, it is important for us to come here and give support and

:18:19. > :18:24.pledge solidarity to our leadership that is inside. We support our

:18:24. > :18:30.President. He was not a device that member. We want to show that. We

:18:30. > :18:34.are in support of our President -- a divisive member. Julius Malema is

:18:34. > :18:38.a powerful figure, but the flamboyant head of the ANC Youth

:18:38. > :18:42.League has become a thorn in President Zuma's side and his

:18:42. > :18:46.supporters say today's keirin has more to do with internal power

:18:46. > :18:52.struggles within the ANC ahead of their leadership contest next year

:18:52. > :18:59.than the antics of its youth wing. In the battle of the President's,

:18:59. > :19:02.Julius Malema can mobilise votes. Scenes like this should serve as a

:19:02. > :19:06.warning to President Zuma, who has ambitions for a second term. The

:19:06. > :19:13.crowd is being held back behind police lines and chanting anti-

:19:14. > :19:20.Jacob Zuma slogans. His own political future of rests heavily

:19:20. > :19:23.on the outcome of this. With the private deliberations over a Julius

:19:23. > :19:28.Malema set to roll into Wednesday, ANC leaders had announced the

:19:28. > :19:30.switch of venue away from the centre of town, in a move to try

:19:30. > :19:40.and defuse tensions within the ruling party and minimise the

:19:40. > :19:43.

:19:43. > :19:48.threat of open rebellion. Now to the modern-day gold rush.

:19:48. > :19:51.With soaring gold prices, there has been a resurgence of the

:19:51. > :19:54.nineteenth-century practice in Australia of potential prospectors

:19:54. > :20:00.returning to the Old Gold Fields, the king to make their fortune.

:20:00. > :20:05.Nick Bryant sent this report from New South Wales -- are looking to

:20:05. > :20:08.make their fortune. The been the Australian bush, over

:20:08. > :20:14.the Great dividing Range that separates this vast continent --

:20:14. > :20:18.deep in. It is not just the sky that has a glorious golden glow. In

:20:18. > :20:22.creeks and hollows that were once the focus of a nineteenth-century

:20:22. > :20:31.gold rush, a modern-day prospectors have come in search of their

:20:31. > :20:35.fortunes. Nugget by nugget, a speck by tiny speck.

:20:35. > :20:40.But old-fashioned techniques have given way to new-fangled technology.

:20:40. > :20:45.Sensitive metal detectors are now the tools of the trade. And for

:20:45. > :20:50.some, like him Ellis, it has become a career. She gave their job --

:20:50. > :20:56.gave up the job in the property industry to prospect for time and

:20:57. > :21:00.teach novices. I think we will move on for that one. A with the price

:21:00. > :21:05.of gold at record highs at the moment, it is understandable why so

:21:05. > :21:09.many people are coming out of the city to go prospecting. This can be

:21:09. > :21:13.a life-changing event if you strike it lucky. It can and I have heard

:21:13. > :21:18.of people actually finding a large enough nugget to pay their mortgage,

:21:18. > :21:25.but now, they will probably pay it and buy another few cars. The price

:21:25. > :21:28.of gold is fantastic. It can be bract -- back-breaking work. Even

:21:28. > :21:34.in the favourite haunts of local prospect has, most Giggs ended

:21:34. > :21:38.failure. But it is the lure of striking it rich that brings Mike

:21:38. > :21:48.back. He is deaf and what has started as a hobby has become a

:21:48. > :21:52.lucrative sideline. Gold. There it is, gold. The nearby town stands as

:21:52. > :21:57.a landmark to the riches that a gold rush can bring. It is one of

:21:57. > :22:02.the most elegant towns in rural Australia. Now, outsiders are

:22:02. > :22:12.heading to do prospecting shop, hoping to emulate the success of

:22:12. > :22:15.

:22:15. > :22:19.locals like Mike. 6.6, what is that? $300. A $300?

:22:19. > :22:22.Gold prices have risen almost 25% since the beginning of this year

:22:22. > :22:32.alone. No wonder so many people are thinking of giving up their day

:22:32. > :22:35.

:22:35. > :22:41.jobs. It is not often that you hear

:22:41. > :22:46.people offering to pay more tax, but this has been happening, I

:22:46. > :22:52.think Warren Buffet, the US billionaire, was the first to offer.

:22:52. > :22:55.He has been followed by a number of super rich people in Europe, a

:22:55. > :22:59.group of wealthy people in countries like France, Italy and

:22:59. > :23:03.Germany have all said, we have got more money than we can afford to

:23:03. > :23:10.spend, at we would be happy to make an extra contribution to help out

:23:10. > :23:17.the Government in the current crisis. Kathy Harcombe has more.

:23:18. > :23:21.# Let me tell you how it will be. He is the American investor with

:23:21. > :23:27.the golden touch. Warren Buffet is a man who has amassed a stash

:23:27. > :23:33.astonishing riches and now he wants to share it with the rest of us, by

:23:33. > :23:42.paying more tax on his and earnings. The generosity but it is proving

:23:42. > :23:48.infectious. Beauvais in Europe, the Erez Liliane battered court -- the

:23:48. > :23:51.Erez Liliane Bettencourt and her peers have signed a letter begging

:23:51. > :23:56.for a special contribution to France's economy. Next door in

:23:56. > :24:00.Italy, the boss of Ferrari has also offered to read up his tax

:24:00. > :24:06.contribution. He says that those who have the most should pay the

:24:06. > :24:11.most. And now the Germans are getting on board. But it is not

:24:11. > :24:14.just the super rich, it is doctors, entrepreneurs and teachers. They

:24:14. > :24:22.say they have got more money than they need and want their government

:24:22. > :24:26.to rethink their taxation policies. So far, despite the benevolence of

:24:26. > :24:31.their European neighbours, Britain's which seemed unwilling to

:24:31. > :24:36.join in. But with France and Spain mulling over the merits of wealth

:24:36. > :24:46.tax, could this be a way out of the world's financial mess?

:24:46. > :24:48.

:24:48. > :24:50.A reminder of our top story. The Libyan Transitional Council has

:24:50. > :25:00.given pro-Gaddafi forces until Saturday to surrender their last

:25:00. > :25:01.

:25:01. > :25:06.major strongholds. For more on this, let's hear from Ian Pannell, who is

:25:06. > :25:11.south of Tripoli. This isolated position out in the

:25:11. > :25:18.desert is absolutely key for the rebels. This area is one that leads

:25:18. > :25:22.to the town of Della Valle lead, that is due south of Tripoli, and

:25:22. > :25:28.it is where Gaddafi loyalists are believed to have fled when and the

:25:28. > :25:34.rebels pushed him from the east than the Western last week. -- and

:25:34. > :25:38.the West. The area is a vast and open expanse of desert and it is

:25:38. > :25:42.very difficult to find where anyone is in this area. It is also the

:25:42. > :25:47.road that was used by members of Colonel Gaddafi's family to flee to

:25:47. > :25:52.Algeria. You have a chat to the south and Algeria to the West. --

:25:52. > :25:56.the chap. It is an area the rebels do not control and it is still

:25:56. > :26:01.under the hand of those a loyal to Colonel Gaddafi. So as well as

:26:01. > :26:08.concentrating their efforts on the Sirte, which is 160 kilometres in

:26:08. > :26:12.that direction, they are pushing even further south. Again, it is

:26:12. > :26:15.feared that Colonel Gaddafi could have gone there. They have two

:26:15. > :26:20.concerns, the first is the sense of completion that they want Colonel

:26:20. > :26:24.Gaddafi captured or killed, and seconded that if he is not caught,

:26:24. > :26:26.he is in a position to form some kind of rebellion or insurgency

:26:26. > :26:32.that would distract the new government from going about its

:26:32. > :26:36.business. So very important days. Although many battles have been won,

:26:36. > :26:38.the war is far from above. Another quick reminder of the

:26:38. > :26:43.headlines tonight. There have been clashes in South Africa between

:26:43. > :26:48.police and demonstrators who support the leader of the ANC youth

:26:48. > :26:51.wing Julius Malema. Those clashes took place around the ANC

:26:51. > :26:55.headquarters. That is all from us for the moment.

:26:55. > :27:05.Next up, the weather, but from the, Kirsty Lang and the rest of the

:27:05. > :27:09.Hello, are on a run of cloudy and call days, there will be no change

:27:09. > :27:12.to tomorrow. Temperatures are a bit down on what we would expect this

:27:12. > :27:17.time of year and sunshine is definitely in short supply. High

:27:17. > :27:21.pressure across the UK, but the flow of air around that, there is a

:27:21. > :27:24.cool north-westerly coming with a good deal of cloud. It is blocking

:27:24. > :27:29.most of the wet weather systems from getting here, so apart from

:27:29. > :27:32.the isolated showers tomorrow, most people will have a dry day. They

:27:32. > :27:35.could be the odd shower across northern England, the cloud will

:27:35. > :27:40.build and obscure most of the sunshine, but there will be bursts

:27:40. > :27:43.of brightness coming through the clouds, but nothing prolonged.

:27:43. > :27:50.Occasionally, the cloud will break across southern England but it will

:27:50. > :27:53.be a dry day. The 18 or 19 degrees, but 19 at the very best. Just a

:27:53. > :27:58.light breeze, so if a glimmer of sunshine comes through, it won't

:27:58. > :28:02.feel too bad. A lot of cloud in Wales, the isolated showers

:28:02. > :28:06.possible, and a similar picture across Northern Ireland. 16 degrees

:28:06. > :28:11.in Belfast. Where you have seen rain today in Scotland, tomorrow

:28:11. > :28:15.the showers will be few and far between. And occasionally, the
