BBC news with Gaenor Howells
Libyan rebel leaders say they fear for the safety of up to 50,000 people taken prisoner by Colonel Gaddafi's forces.They say that if the captives aren't already dead ,they might be trapped in hidden underground bunkers.From Benghazi,Jon Leyne reports.
The oppositions say they have kept accurate records of the many opposition supporters snatched by Colonel Gaddafi's forces during months of demonstrations and fighting across the country. Near 50,000 are still missing. The fear is that their bodies may be unearthed in mass graves,close to prisons such as the notorious Abu Salim in Tripoli,or almost as bad,the prisoners could be trapped in a series of secret prison bunkers,hidden under military bases and farms,almost anywhere,an urgent search has been conducted,and the opposition have appealed to former security officials to come forward with any information that could help.
The rebel authorities in Libya say they are trying to identify about 50 charred bodies found in a burned-out warehouse at a military base outside the capital,Tripoli.The remains were discovered at a site used by a brigade commanded by one of Colonel Gaddafi's sons.The BBC's Orla Guerin has been there.
Inside the warehouse,under a still smoldering roof,we saw the charred remains of dozens of bodies.Some were little more than skeletons.They were killed on Tuesday in the dying days of the regime.There were more bodies on the ground outside.A rope still attached to one man's feet.An old man,Fatullah Abdullah,wept in the door way.He told us he managed to escape from the warehouse but without his three sons.
The Bahraini authorities say they will dismiss charges against some of the demonstrators detained during months of anti-government protests by members of the Shiite Majority.The country's Sunni monarch king Hamad made the announcement in a national broadcast.Hundreds of people have been arrested since the protests began in February.
More than 300,000 people have been allowed back home into New York after they were ordered to evacuate the city's low-lying areas in the path of a powerful storm.Hurricane Irene now downgraded,caused extensive damage along the eastern US sea board,but had weakened by the time it reached New York City.Fears of extensive flooding have receded and the New York stock exchange is opening as normal on Monday.But public transport and flights from the city's main airports remain suspended while officials assess damage.Chris Ward is Executive Director of New York's Port Authority.
I need to caution travelers that service will not be resuming today and if anything you should pay attention for,potential beginnings of service,late tomorrow afternoon and best that we are hopeful for aviation traffic to begin to resume on Tuesday.
World news from the BBC
Members of parliament from Japan's governing Democratic party are meeting in a few hours to vote for the country's sixth new prime minister for just five years.Japan's Trade Minister Banri Kaieda is considered (as感觉应该有个) the frontrunner to succeed,Naoto Kan, who announced his resignation on Friday.However,none of the candidates is thought likely to secure enough support on the first ballot,and a run-off vote is expected.
There has been a shock at the world Atlantic Championships in South Korea, where the world record holder Usain Bolt disqualified from the final of the 100 meters after a false start.Alex Capstick watched it happen.
Usain Bolt has made few errors in his brilliant career,but this will go down as a major blemish on his record.Victory appeared to be virtually guaranteed,but this time,Usain Bolt messed up on a big stage.He knew immediately he'd left his starting blocks before the gun had fired. There is no second chance,nowadays,for once the great entertainer was visibly angry.His shirt had already been flung to the ground before he left the track,banging his head with his hands in frustration.His Jamaican compatriot Yohan Blake eventually took the gold medal.But this world championship final will be remembered for the man who did not start.
In football,the English Primer League has seen one of its most surprising scorelines for years with the champions Manchester United beating Arsenal by eight goals to two at Old Trafford.The scale of the victory surprised even United manager Alex Ferguson.
When you play Arsenal,you don't expect to score so many goals,but when you see Arsenal's team is so weakened.We had expected to score,and expected us to win,because it was a very very weaken team.And Arsenal may be missing eight players today.You know,it's so unfortunate for them.
It is the first time since 1896 Arsenal have conceded eight goals in a league match.
