Thanks Carmen, couldn"t open the link for some reason, but no matter now the rugny"s over I"ll switch over to Sky News.

Gadaffi still has a lot of supporters in Libya and there have been many questions on how do we get out of this. The cost of using Aircraft and Pilots
is astronomical especially when Britain is in such a parlous state financially.

Mohammad Nabbous, face of citizen journalism in Libya, is killed
Mohammad Nabbous, who set up an independent internet TV station in Benghazi, has been killed

The death has been announced of Mohammad Nabbous, described as the "face of citizen journalism in Libya".

Nabbous was apparently shot dead by Gaddafi forces in Benghazi on Saturday.

Known as "Mo", Nabbous set up Libya al-Hurra TV, which broadcast raw feeds and commentary from Benghazi, on Livestream.

Andy Carvin, social media strategist at NPR, said on Twitter: "Mohammad Nabbous was my primary contact in Libya, and the face of Libyan citizen journalism. And now he's dead, killed in a firefight."

Sharon Lynch, TV station representative, said: "He touched the hearts of many with his bravery and indomnitable spirit. He will be dearly missed and leaves behind his young wife and unborn child."

News conference in Tripoli conference by #Libyan Secretary-General for People's Committee Mohammed Bilqassim Al-Zwai starting soon.

"I'm sorry my country is facing a barbaric and armed attack tonight. some western countries are leading a rocket atack on several locations in Tripoli and Misrati - attack that causes real harm to civilians. this attack comes as we announced a ceasefire against the al qaeda militants. this has come as Libya has announced major reforms in economic and adminsitrative context. this claim the operation is for the protection of civlians is contradicted by what has happened on the ground tonight. no. of civlians hurt tonight - filling up our hospitals and ambulances as they try to save civilians. we have stopped all military operations aginst the armed militias and we requested international observers on the ground. this agression will not weaken our spirit and will not mean Libyans handing over power to militants linked to al qaeda. What you have seen of the masses of people gathering, proclaiming their allegiance to the leader of #Libya. Describing the UN #Libya resolution as invalid does not mean we will not honour it. We have requested UN observers be sent. The locations that were targets were military & civilian. I don't know their names, they were civilian buildings #Libya.

A madman speaks!
