we report from jordan. >> hello and thank you for joining us. the transitional government in libya said the bodies of gaddafi, his son and a top i had a have been buried in an unknown location. this is thought to be the convoy that carried the bodies from a cold storage room in misurata to an unmarked grave in a secret location. joining me from misurata is gabriel. first of all, how symbolically is it for the nation that these

burials have take place? >> i think symbolically this means colonel gaddafi who ruled this country more than four decades, his body is laid into the ground to rest if you like and libya can now move forward and look to rebuild the country rather than wrangling over the past. that really is what has been taking place here over the past four days. a political positioning taking place and the focal point of arguments between misurata and the rebels who captured the body here and benghazi and the politicians who now need to run the country. the symbolic trophy, the body of the former dictator. if he has been put into the ground, although we haven't seen pictures of it, that argument, that he has been laid to rest, libya can move

forward. there are plenty of hurdles ahead. >> this is an entirely secret location. how important is it do you think that it is a secret location, that we don't have a shrine? >> i think they would have chosen a secret location for two reasons. i don't think they want any -- that may still be around, building a shrine around that location, but also i think that they are seeking to avoid anybody coming along and vandalizing any anti-gaddafi sentiments and vandalizing the site. there is a sense of wanting to move on, although time we saw a grizzly spectacle where families and children >> coming along seeing the bodies of gaddafi. i think the point of that was

to show libyans so they could see with their very eyes that he was really dead. i think that gruesome spectacle has come to an end. libya now wants to move on and build a new country. >> thank you very much. rescue teams in turkey have been working through the night as they try to find more survivors from sunday's earthquake. the death toll stands at 366 with some 3,000 people injured. we are in one of the worst affected towns. >> frantic harrowing scenes. 80 buildings collapsed after sunday's earthquake. we think the death toll is just under 107. a gathering of whaling women having discovered a member of their family dead in another

building up the road. 22 families lived in this one apartment block. we were hear up all night watching them. unfortunately a family of four, a mother and her four daughters all dead, the youngest, just a 1-year-old baby. they are gathered in the corner hoping maybe there is a chance to find somebody alive. >> the face of the young teacher grasping a hand for reassurance. we'll get you out promise the rescuers. >> call my husband, she says. slowly, metic lousely, they make space around her and

extract her safely. but overnight more bodies were recovered. 12 dozen are still believed to be trapped under mounds of broken concrete and twisted steel. one teenage survivor was pulled out 32 hours after the quake struck, dazed, injured, but alive. he had been in a tea shop with friends. already questions are being asked why in an area so prone to quakes did modern buildings come down so easily? the government says more than 2,000 collapsed meaning that thousands of people are now living in tents or camping out in the streets in near freezing conditions. >> we're trying to keep the priority with the people who have lost their homes. of course after the aftershock of the disasters, everybody wants to stay in the tent. even if their houses are not

destroyed because they don't feel safe in their houses, which means a huge number of shelters. >> two days on now, some hope does remain among the 100,000 people that more survivors will be found. rescuers are increasingly relying on modern technology, texts, calls from loved ones of people trapped in the collapsed buildings. >> we are waiting for telephones, mail, something else if they have any -- and we try with dogs. >> grieving families are preparing to bury their dead and others hope there is still a chance of the loved ones being found alive.

>> the turkish red cross suggests they need 18,000 tents to this region and 32,000 blankets. the temperatures here are freezing at nighttime. a lot of streets in a few weeks' time will be covered with snow. let's talk to a man who was born in this town. he has a family here as well. thank you for joining us. it is a very difficult day for you and the people here. what is the news of your relatives? >> >> i talked to -- come in this village where i -- and when i come here monday morning and what i see here, it was incredible. i seen many people, they die. but nice good need for this

place, our president comes the same day after five hours after the earthquake and he gave all the best wishes to the people. >> he realizes how important it is. your family, though, are they all right? >> my family, most of them, they are ok. but there are some -- they die and we already visit them but there are many people still under the ground and we are hoping and we are waiting they will come out safely and we hope everything will be ok here. >> how angry are people about the fact that -- >> actually education here is not very good. the people, they don't know how they can build the buildings. to understand, it is really not

easy. when i speak with the people, they say we feel very strongly but when we see -- it is really not strong. i hope after this, they will build not more than three floors because this will this ground will not take more than three floors. i hope can stay and live safely here. >> best of luck. thank you very much. he was born in this town of some 77,000 people. the rescue efforts continue but i think most rescue workers that we have been speaking to -- -- the hope of finding anyone else alive. >> more from tim over the course of the day. >> the islamic party has claimed victory in the

country's first democratic elections in tunisia. >> on the strength of provisional results, few doubts that the official results due on tuesday afternoon or evening will do anything but show they have the majority in the new assembly. they will nominate an interim prime minister. >> that has been consistently part of the struggle for democracy. >> that doesn't mean the the

sectaristr is happy about it. the e.u. gave their elections a clean bill of health. >> people were very emotional. i think that whenever the results, the final results might show tomorrow, there is a winner. democracy has won. >> secularists do not believe ennahda will keep its word to respect tunisia's rights to worship as they would like. they fear that new hard line members could rise. >> now with all the business news. we're going to start with a bank that has been in the news.

>> u.b.s. swiss bank telling us that despite the rogue trading loss, they report a pretax profit coming in around a billion swiss francs. they are really shaking off the effects of that rogue trading scandal. they now say they are going focus on their core business, which is managing the money and wealth. the former chief executive quit in the wake of this scandal. they have already announced 3,500 job cuts to save about 2 billion swiss francs. very surprising. they didn't expect to report a big profit. >> pretty small fry compared to today's other business story. >> b.p. we spent a lot of time

talking about b.p., that huge oil spill in the gulf of mexico last year. telling us that their q 3 profits are up. coming in at 5.1 billion dollars. that is up from the same period last year. many expected them to foul quite sharply. -- fall quite sharply. despite that, they say they are now trying to draw a line. they are putting money aside to pay compensation. they are selling off a lot of assets. it was around $30 million and now it is up to $45 million. >> thanks very much. you are watching bbc world news. coming up, we have the latest from the trial of michael jackson's personal doctor. the defense lawyers have called

their first witnesses. the british prime minister has suffered a huge parliamentary referendum. >> order. >> they debated the pros and the cons of europe for more than five hours. then the votes and the results. >> the ayes to the right. 111. noes to the left, 483. it was a huge majority against a referendum. but in spite over the arm twisting and the private meetings, a sizable check of david cameron's people defied him. >> i'm not prepared to go back on my word to my constituents. i'm really staggered. loyal people like me have actually been put in this position.

if britain's future as an independent country is not a proper matter for a referendum, then i have absolutely no idea what is. >> this is not the time to argue. >> the prime minister was determined to have a fight on his own side on this. he suggested his m.p.'s reject the referendum idea. >> what most people understood, we were going to give them a referendum. that's what m.p.'s in all parties wanted to people to believe. the pressure we conveyed. >> they believe it is not the right time to have this three-way referendum. i think that was the right outcome from a very free open and unstifled debate. >> darling street has acknowledged that many people who voted for the referendum felt very strongly. it was humiliating for the

prime minister. they are analyzing the fallout from a split. >> this is bbc world news. the headlines. libyan authorities say the bodies of gaddafi and his son have been buried at dawn in a secret location. and the search goes on in turkey for survivors of sunday's earthquake which has killed more than 360 people. the united states has pledged an additional $100 million to help provide food for people suffering in hunger in east africa. the united nation's estimate more than 30 million people are in need of food scenes across ethiopia, kenya and somalia. >> it is within this large

complex of camps that -- i think this place very much represents what has been achieved and the enormous amount yet that still faces the government for the region and the international community and the local aid agency. when i was here back july, this was rocky ground. there was absolutely nothing here at all. in august, this was opened and b.c. became the newest refugee camp. 45,000 people in just those few weeks and they are now having to open another one which they hope to get open in a few weeks' time. any delays will cause a bottleneck and further problems. people are looking heltier than i saw people back in july, like 2,000 people crossing the border. there were huge challenges making sure that water gets

there for people and sanitation to prevent people from falling victim to the diseases that are now coming with the rain. there has been a lot over the past few days causing additional problems and bringing with it things like respiratory infections and diarrhea as well. >> the bbc has a series of special reports from seven countries in seven continents. jordan is one country that in the words of its own government is facing a crisis due to the rise in its own population, which has doubled in the last decade. it is one of the driest countries in the middle east and its already depleted supply is running low. >> against the odds, he farms this arid land.

his crops lack much of the water they need. there is no other supply, his family has to buy their water from a private company. the price keeps on rising, business is drying up. >> some people depend on farming. if they stop, they won't be able to support their families. we have high levels of unemployment. the older generations want to keep a tradition of farming. they won't givette up easily. -- give it up easily. >> he depends on the endless flow of loris to transport this country's liquid gold. this is private water. commercially owned wells have become the source for many businesses and homes. >> we are living in a water --

but we have the -- on water and that -- if that strategy implemented we will be in a few years well off, but until it is implemented, the crisis will -- and the situation bb more severe in the country. >> jordan's population, with its steady flow of refugees is using ever more of this vital resource despite the government's initiative to extract new resources, a bad situation is getting worse. >> farming has always been a challenge, but as waters becomes more scarce, farming has only become more uncertain. >> he used to have sheep but because of the lack of water, it is chickens and a few rabbits are the only animals

left. he said the government should supply what is his farm's life blood. now he has no plans to leave this troubled way of life in this, his hospitable land. >> human rights organization amnesty international says the syrian government has turned hostile in atemperatures to sup press the continuing anti-government protests. it says many are too afraid to seek treatment in hospital. lawyers defending michael jackson's doctor, conrad murray have heard four weeks of testimony from prosecution witnesses who allege dr. murray acted unethically and with gross negligence. he is charged with involuntary manslaughter.

>> we ask to rest at this time. >> thank you. >> not dramatic or for the tv cameras but it ended four weeks of testimony from 33 witnesses. the case is based on what care dr. conrad murray gave michael jackson. a medical expert would say he gave the singer prope follow propofol, a drug normally used as an thetic. when he stopped breathing, murray was out of the room. dependent call emergency services immediately and was a-- didn't call emergency services immediately and was accused of gross negligence in causing jackson's death. the prosecution has built a very strong case against conrad murray. those watching the trial live on television in north america are very interested to see how the defense persuades the jury that mr. murray is not guilty. they called more than 1/3 of

their witnesses on the first day. their argument was unclear. >> dr. murray arriving at michael jackson's house. and a doctor who seemed to support the prosecution. >> any intravenous anasthetic should not be given in a home. >> for those of us who love formula one, we're talking about -- a new grand prix in the united states. there could be two in the same calendar year. the word is there is going to be a new circuit or street circuit in new jersey. taking into account the wonderful skyline of manhattan. of course america has quite a long and checkered history of many locations of formula one grand prix.

florida, indianapolis up until 2007 when they all fell out over tires. now it is coming back in a big way. interesting, of course. looking definitely east for the last few years. it is coming back with perhaps two races in america. >> it is like pop music, isn't it? >> like football or soccer. they love their indy car. they love their nascar. they love their stock car racing. formula one has never had that image. but it is a very profitable market so very interesting day and we expect the press conference probably with the new jersey governor later today. >> thank you very much indeed. we'll keep you up to date with the latest news. if you like formula one as much as i do you'll be looking forward to that.
