[00:00.00]BBC News with Iain Purdon [00:02.93]The new authorities in Libya have formally declared the liberation of the country [00:07.23]at a ceremony in Benghazi outside the barracks where the uprising against Colonel Gaddafi began in February. [00:13.64]The head of the NTC, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, thanked God for their victory before a massive celebratory crowd. [00:20.94]From Benghazi, Jonathan Head. [00:22.66]They came in their thousands back to the place where it all started to celebrate in their customary fashion their extraordinary achievement. [00:31.21]Then Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the former judge who now leads Libya, addressed the crowd, [00:36.06]calling on them to show tolerance and to work for reconciliation. [00:39.20]He also assured the many devout Muslims here that Islam would help to shape their new country. [00:44.77]They chose Benghazi for this ceremony as a tribute to the role it played in igniting and sustaining the revolution. [00:51.40]Now the spotlight moves away from here to Tripoli in the west, where the new government will now sit. [00:57.69]The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says a full investigation should be carried out into the death of Colonel Gaddafi. [01:03.90]Speaking on American television, she said it was important that the new Libya begin with the rule of law. [01:09.49]Meanwhile, there's still uncertainty over what the country's new leaders will do with Colonel Gaddafi's body. [01:15.70]Some reports suggest that a high-level meeting will be held in Benghazi to weigh up the options. [01:20.42]His body remains on display in a cold store in Misrata. [01:25.65]A huge turnout is being reported from Tunisia's election, the first free vote in the Arab world since the start of the spring uprisings. [01:33.45]Some polling stations had to remain open after the official closing time to allow people still queuing to cast their votes. [01:40.59]The poll was for an assembly to draft a new constitution. Pascale Harter reports from Tunis. [01:45.96]Well after dark, right up until the moment the polling stations closed their doors, Tunisians were still arriving to vote in the capital. [01:54.34]Many left holding up an ink-stained finger as proof they'd done what they proudly called their democratic duty. [02:01.59]Some smiled, but others cried after casting what was the first vote of their lifetime, [02:07.63]one they could be confident would actually be counted. [02:11.24]The European Union observer mission praised the huge effort involved in building a completely new election process from scratch. [02:19.11]Many people have been killed in an earthquake in eastern Turkey. [02:22.94]The authorities are quoted as saying more than 70 people are confirmed dead, but they fear the figure could rise to hundreds. [02:29.36]An International Red Crescent spokesman, Joe Lowry, says a large disaster appears to be unfolding. [02:35.55]"Turkish Red Crescent is mounting a massive relief operation. [02:39.36]They've already got 1,000 tents, 5,000 blankets, food, stoves and water on the way there. [02:46.57]I think that's coming from local stocks and more would be arriving from Ankara and Istanbul. [02:52.90]But it does seem sort of a large earthquake in terms of magnitude and effect." [02:57.92]World News from the BBC [03:00.01]European Union leaders meeting in Brussels have conceded there's still much work to be done [03:05.82]before a comprehensive deal can be reached on tackling the eurozone debt crisis. [03:09.63]Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany insisted they would do everything possible to protect the euro. [03:15.05]The French President Nicolas Sarkozy spoke of mind-boggling detail to be sorted out. [03:20.16]The Kenyan army has confirmed there's been an aerial bombardment of a military base belonging to the Islamist group al-Shabab. [03:29.57]A week ago, Kenyan forces moved across the border, saying they would pursue militants accused of several recent kidnappings. [03:36.04]Richard Hamilton reports. [03:38.01]A Kenyan military spokesman, Major Emmanuel Chirchir, told the BBC that the target had been hit [03:44.04]but would not confirm whether Kenyan planes or those of other allied forces had carried out the raid. [03:49.09]He said the base was in an area called Congo, on the outskirts of the port of Kismayo. [03:54.16]When the Kenyan army began its incursion into Somalia a week ago, [03:58.01]it highlighted Kismayo as a key target. [04:00.68]Al-Shabab fighters have withdrawn from their bases in the capital Mogadishu [04:04.90]but resorted to guerrilla warfare as evidenced by an attack on a convoy of African Union troops in the city earlier on Sunday. [04:12.45]First results from Switzerland's general election suggest reduced support for a party which campaigns against immigration. [04:19.50]Projections give the Swiss People's Party 2% less than the previous election four years ago with the loss of several seats. [04:26.33]The party remains the largest in parliament, [04:28.75]but a BBC correspondent in Bern says its demands for strict immigration limits look likely to be shelved for now. [04:35.48]The party appears to have lost out to a breakaway centre-right grouping and a new Green party. [04:40.40]The Italian motorcyclist Marco Simoncelli has been killed in a crash at the Malaysian MotoGP. [04:47.42]He died from injuries sustained in a collision four minutes into the race. [04:51.01]Simoncelli's bike veered across the track into the path of Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi. [04:56.30]They both escaped serious injury.BBC News
