Forces of Libya's interim authority, the NTC, say they've raised the country's new flag over Bani Walid after securing control over almost all of the town from Gaddafi loyalists. The NTC's military spokesman Ahmed Bani told reporters in Tripoli that 90% of Bani Walid had been liberated. NTC forces are struggling to overcome loyalists stillholed upin Sirte. From Tripoli, Caroline Hawley reports.
It's taken several weeks, but fighters loyal to the new Libyan authorities have nowpushed their wayinto the centre of Bani Walid, firing their guns in the air in celebration. It's not clear what's happened to the pro-Gaddafi forces, who'd resisted their advance for so long. Reports said they deserted their posts and abandoned their uniforms, but they could still pose a threat. Bani Walid has been one of the last strongholds of support for Muammar Gaddafi, but it's his hometown Sirte that is the real prize for the new authorities.

Israel's Supreme Court has heard petitions against a deal with the militant group Hamas that would see more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners freed in exchange for the captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Judges are expected to rule today on a request to delay or block the prisoners' release. However, as Kevin Connolly reports from Gaza, Palestinians are already preparing for their release.
It is a little premature, and somewhere eyes are still being dotted and tears crossed. But the sound of celebration already fills the air in Gaza City.

To the Israelis and to many in the wider world, they are men and women of violence, but Gaza is preparing to acclaim them as heroes.

Germany is lowering expectations that a lasting solution for the eurozone debt crisis will be agreed at a European Union summit on Sunday. The German finance minister said it was wrong to expect a definitive solution from the summit. Here's our economics correspondent Andrew Walker.Mr Schaeuble said European leaders will adopt a new plan, but he warned that it won't be a complete resolution of the crisis.
Ahead of the summit in six days, European officials are working on a package which includes strengthening eurozone banks and further action on Greece. Financial markets have welcomed this as evidence that governments are preparing decisive action, but some observers think the optimism may be overdone. Mr Schaeuble seems to be encouraging more modest expectations.

Chris Eaton has been working with Fifa for the past 12 months. He accused governing bodies in sport of having been naive in assessing the scale of match-fixing. He talked of teenagers at the start of their careers coming under the influence of criminal gangs. "They are thenpressurisedand intimidated into complying with their illegal demands," he described the problem, which has become more and more widespread. His solution is to offer incentives to whistle-blowers. For a one-month period, next January, Fifa will reward players, officials and administrators who come forward with useful information.

利比亚临时政府全国过渡委员会(NTC)宣称,已从卡扎菲效忠者手中几占领拜尼沃利德镇绝大部分地区,并在此地升起利比亚新国旗。NTC军方发言人奥马尔·贝尼告诉的黎波里的记者,拜尼沃利德镇90%的地方已经解放。NTC部队与躲藏在苏尔特的效忠者仍在战斗中。Caroline Hawley在的黎波里报道。
It's taken several weeks, but fighters loyal to the new Libyan authorities have now pushed their way into the centre of Bani Walid, firing their guns in the air in celebration. It's not clear what's happened to the pro-Gaddafi forces, who'd resisted their advance for so long.

战斗经历了数周,而如今,效忠比利亚新当局的武装人员向拜尼沃利德镇中心行进,向空中鸣枪庆祝胜利。还不清楚亲卡扎菲军队有何举动,他们抵御进攻已经很久。报道说,他们已经放弃了阵地,脱掉军服,但仍能构成威胁。拜尼沃利德镇是穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲的最后根据地之一,而对新当局来说,他的家乡苏尔特的解放,才是真正的奖赏。

在声明中,阿尔沙巴布警告肯尼亚,不要让所谓的战火散播到本国来。阿尔沙巴布呼吁肯尼亚公众,希望他们敦促政府尽快从索马里撤兵。这只伊斯兰叛军组织否认自己与肯尼亚最近的诸多绑架事件有关。声明表示,肯尼亚政府所声称的阿尔沙巴布威胁肯尼亚人民的说法,只不过是其军事入侵索马里的虚弱借口。

以色列最高法院听审了一起诉状,涉及一起与哈马斯军事组织的交易,即释放1000多名在押巴基斯坦人,换回被哈马斯抓获的以色列士兵沙利特。法官今天将就是否推迟或阻止囚徒释放一事进行判决,然而,根据Kevin Connolly从加沙发回的报道,巴基斯坦人已经为释放做好了准备。

朔伊布勒说,欧洲领导人将采取新的计划,但他警告说,危机的最终解决方案不可能达成。现在离峰会开始还有六天,欧洲官方正制定一个一揽子方案,包括加强欧元区银行和对希腊采取进一步措施。金融市场对此非常欢迎,认为这表明各国政府正准备采取决定性举措,而一些观察家认为该观点过于乐观。朔伊布勒似乎在鼓励大家保持适度的期待。
