the rebel checkpoint all along was just about 150 meters down the road from the rixos hotel.hey hadn't approached the hotel, presumably because they didn't want a big gun fight to take place where all those international journalists have been holed up over the course of the past five days. >> matthew, over the last few days when we were talking you mentioned these pro-gadhafi elements in the hotel around the perimeter of the hotel. did they put up any kind of resistance? >> well, they put up resistance to the rebels. they didn't let them come in . they didn't put up any resistance to us, because in the end obviously originally they were alone -- they've been stopping us from going out. but as i mentioned earlier, we managed some of the air bucks journalists amongst our colleagues managed to negotiate with them to convince them that world had changed outside, the rest of tripoli is largely held now of course as we know by the tnc. the rebels when they finally realized this, it's not clear whether it's because they didn't have the information or they just couldn't after 42 year

all the journalists in the rixos hotel freed after five days in captivity. they were keeping us up to date through tweets and phone calls, but we were very worried about them, there were gunmen in the perimeter outside the hotel and gunmen roaming the lobbies as well. arwa damon at tripoli international airport, it is not a functioning airport, but she made it there. it's one of the areas rebels fought hard for. arwa, what do you make of this release? >> reporter: it's so incredibly relieving to hear that -- >> well, in three words she managed to say what we're all thinking, it is a relief. that's for sure. we were very much concerned for the safety of our colleagues there and the other individuals in that hotel as well. arwa is back. arwa, you were starting to tell me what a relief. go on. >> reporter: well, it seems as if what matthew was saying would be correct and those that were holding them in the hotel, perhaps, realized there was no longer anything to hold on to, the regime in tripoli was beginning to fall, that said, we are still witnessing rebel fi

we have now left the compound of the rixos hotel.36 journalists that were kept inside, essentially against their will, in what we all considered all along to be a hostage crisis have now -- hostage situation rather, have now been allowed to go out. it's been a very complicated, a very frightening, a very, you know, emotional roller coaster the last five days, but we're sitting in vehicles of the international committee of the red cross, we managed to negotiate the red cross to get in through the checkpoints of the gadhafi loyalists, perhaps the only gadhafi loyalists checkpoint in tripoli. reports we've heard inside the hotel are to be believed, and we've got all the journalists into these four cars, plus a civilian car, and we're now driving out of the rixos, we're driving through the deserted street of tripoli to our freedom, essentially. it's been an absolutely -- absolute nightmare for all of us, there are journalists who have been as a result of this emotional release, the fact that we've got out of the hotel, crying, emotions a

what is happening at the rixos hotel and with you?ments, quite negative ones for those concerned. we've had one journalist come through, managed to find a way through from outside, from tripoli, into the rixos hotel. he negotiated with the guards, came through on the basis he was going to be allowed international jurm journalist be allowed to take one of the journalists who are inside the rixos holed up here, it's still controlled by the government, on what was a shopping trip and take them out, take that one person out, and basically take them away. but what happened when they got outside with this journalist who was leaving with him, there was a gun fight and the driver of the car who was waiting for them fled in a hurry and left them stranded at the hotel. that's an additional person at the hotel. shortly afterwards more journalists arrived at the hotel, gun fight, they fled into the hotel and an additional four people came inside. within the past 30 minutes we've had five additional international journalists, most of them american

because the rixos is between the frontlines. when we talked to them and they gave us the go ahead and we had talked with the military on the other side, we're able to access through this zone where the hotel is, which is looking like a no man's land. and able to reach the hotel, get the journalists on to the motor vehicles and transfer them out safely. >> robin, let me jump in. because you make the point multiple times that you had been in communication with the military, the gunmen. how do you negotiate with these people? >> supposedly when you're speaking with the authority, who is in charge of them at the hotel, he say that these people are free, you can come and pick them up. we said okay, you're in a dangerous area. we need security guarantees in order to come in. when we got to the hotels, there were no gunmen inside. everybody had left. just the journalists were left. >> was there any fear that this would be a ruse? >> caller: we thought about that. we thought, of course, it would be dangerous most definitely. we weighed

i'm speaking of the rixos hotel.ore recently a hostage compound for some three dozen international journalists. just a little more than two hours ago, those journalists, including cnn's matthew chance managed to essentially talk their way to freedom. chance got to a camera and spoke live with my colleague suzanne malveaux just minutes ago. >> reporter: they're celebrating their freedom. they're not celebrating my freedom. they're celebrating libya's freedom, obviously. but having been given loads of flowers, i don't think they realize we've gone through this ordeal of being, you know held captive essentially in the rixos hotel. and it's only now we come to speak to you because we've been essentially set free. it's amazing. the whole country -- the whole city is celebrating its freedom. and, you know, i feel a connection with them. i feel a connection with them because i'm celebrating mine, as well. >> you look great. you know, give us a sense of where you are, how you got there, have you had a chance to talk to your

that situation continues at the rixos hotel in tripoli. covering the story outside the hotel also poses serious risks. while covering the story sara sidner had to find protection from the constant celebratory gunfire. >> we're okay. we're in between two walls here so we're fine. >> now, that is a risk that any reporter in a war zone confronts. it's been no different in libya. aaron ben wedeman was shot at in cal leash last month. no one was hurt. the committee to protect journalists say six journalists have been killed in libya since 1992, five journalists have been killed in cross fire since march of this year. one journalist was killed outside benghazi in june of 2005. sobering thought. we'll stay with cnn for continuing coverage of the rebel advance in libya. i'm andrew stevens in hong kong. >> i'm nina dos santos in london. you're watching cnn, the world's news leader. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com

know that you've got some are a colleague some journalists do know they're trapped in the hotel the rixos hotel which has been mentioned many times that's where the international media are at the moment are you concerned for their safety. also and anyone would be concerned for their safety especially those close friends and family but these are international journalists these are professional journalists and we have to be respected as such and some of them want to be evacuated remote country or in should. that be the recent journalists who are nato countries have made a lot of their own civilians but only nationals in tripoli were well here's your chance where's the threat coming from from the rebels or from the gadhafi loyalists just briefly i think the threat more is coming from the rebels really because these are western germans had been based at the rixos hotel for many many months under the regime we'll leave it there so we've got time for freelance journalists to come chandan joining us live there in brussels thanks for your time. well the question again at his whereabouts is yet to

use yeah, we are still in the rixos hotel. journalists are still in the basement of this hotel as well for the most part, because all around the building here and close to the compound of colonel gadhafi which is a short distance away from the rixos hotel, there have been these ferocious battles rage, presumably, between the control of this area between the gadhafi loyalists still holed up very much in this part of tripoli, and the rebels who, you know, are controlling some areas of the capital as well. there are heavy machine gunfire and all of the journalists in the hotel have their body armor on and helmets because one of the things that happened a few moments ago was that there was what was said to be a sniper firing a round into the hotel. it's not clear from which direction that bullet came. but, obviously, it was another, you know, kind of, you know, decks to which the experience of being in this hotel and covering this conflict from this vantage point has plunged. but having said that, on the upside, the electricity is

our driver turned around and took us to a neighborhood very close to the rixos hotel and those people took us in, they fed us, they gave us water. they were incredibly, incredibly kind they represented the best of, not just libya, but the best of humanity and it was due to them that eventually we were able to organize a lift to this hotel and this position of relative safety despite the gunfire you're hearing around me. >> brown: still to come on the "newshour": hurricane irene on the way; alabama's immigration law; a land and money dispute over the black hills of south dakota; the delay in confirming federal judges and an epic novel of puerto rico. but first, the other news of the day. here's kwame holman. >> holman: wall street scored new gains, thanks partly to news of improving orders for autos and aircraft. the dow jones industrial average gained nearly 144 points to close above 11,320. the nasdaq rose 21 points to close at 2,467. the federal budget deficit will top $1.2 trillion this fiscal year. the congressional budget office reported today the red ink will be slightly down fr

but if you ask me to bet, we know now that he's very unlikely to be in the rixos. that was a possibility until the last guards keeping those journalists there in effect defected and handed over their weapons. that makes it highly unlikely that he would be in any sub terranean complex there close to the family's ties are to that hotel. his son, said islam gadhafi was actually the one who caused that hotel to be built, completed 18 months ago. i would say look at gadhafi, what's he saying? he's saying in effect, i hate to draw the analogy because in scope and scale and murderousness there's no comparison. but gadhafi shared one characteristic in common with adolf hitler, who died in his own bunker by his own hand, which is that he identifies himself with the libyan people. he is utterly resistant to any idea that there could be any separation of those two entities. he is libya. and he has said repeatedly that it is the duty of the people, something hitler also said in effect to die for him. my guess is that in his delusional state, as hard as it is to project what he

>> yes, i can hear you. >> congressman why are you at the rixos hotel?are you doing in tripoli? >> as the reverend congressman fontroy 20 years in congress, i had joined dr. paul here in an effort to work out a non-violent solution. right now we are in a precarious situation with some of our friends from the media, because we fear that unless we are able to relocate that we may all be in danger. as a minister who believes in the fervent effectual prayers of the righteous, i am joined with dr. kay, falling on appeal of the people who know the will have the prayer to pray for us, and to pray for deliverance for not only us but the press corps with whom we have been quartered here in the effort to carry out our peace mission. >> congressman, you spent 20 years in the united states congress as the delegate from the district of columbia and i met you on several occasions but i have to ask, how long have you been in libya right now, it's a highly extraordinary situation for to you show up there. i know you wanted to do some good but obviously this is an amazin

we have now left the compound of the rixos hotel.the 36 journalists that were kept inside essentially against their will in what we all considered all along to be a hostage crisis, have now been a -- a hostage situation, rather, have now been allowed to go out. it's been a very complicated, a very frightening, a very, you know, emotional roller coaster of the past five days. some of the arabic-speaking journalists among our colleagues managed to negotiate with them, to convince them that, you know, the world has changed outside. >> bye. >> reporter: one of the most difficult things for me was speaking the language, you know, speaking arabic, i was involved in most of the negotiations between those guys who were holding us there and also trying to talk to people on the outside, trying to secure a safe passage for us at least or getting us out like we did today. it was a team effort. we had an amazing group of journalists and, you know, and an experience like this, we did all really bond together and work as a team and make sure that w

seif al islam is under arrest, we used to see him show up at the rixos hotel all the time. none of the senior officials are still hiding out there as far as you know? >> reporter: well i mean i can guarantee you they're not still hiding out here. it's totally deserted apart from the gunman i can tell you. the officials left 24 hours ago. moussa ibrahim left with his family, other people, broadcasters from state television were here, broadcasting from the basement of the hotel, from the makeshift studio, they've left, left their cameras there, left the sets there, left all of their desks and chairs, equipment and things like that, left it all there, they just completely vanished. we don't know where they've gone. the assumption is there's some safe house close by for them where they've relocated but we can't possibly confirm that, we're not allowed to get out of the gates of the hotel so yeah, more or less we're pretty much on our own with the exception of those guards who are essentially keeping us here. >> matthew, be careful over there. we'll try to stay in close touch. t
