[ chanting ] >> get back. get back. get back. >> this is sky news video from tripoli. people chanting on the streets that gadhafi needs to go. libya is free. a short time ago a spokesman for the libyan government called for immediate negotiations and a lawsuit to the rebel assault. we are hearing reports that have been confirmed now that the rebels have taken over green square. this is them on the way to tripoli, in western libya. rebel forces say they are now in control of most parts of the capital. this could be the end of the road for the rebels who fought very hard over the last few months to make it into tripoli. the government itself is conceding that parts of the city are no longer under control and also a deadly battle overnight and says that 1,300 people have been killed over the past 12 hours, and you're seeing this rebel army with this mismatched clothing and mismatched vehi

this revolution, no retaliation, no revenge. >> reporter: the world isn't waiting to recognize the new libya, washington reopened libya's embassy last week, next week france's sarkozy will host an international gathering to plan foreign aid. but what about gadhafi and his sons? the u.n. argued today for an international war crimes trial in the hague. the interim government said it wants gadhafi to stand trial at home. as mubarak is in egypt. it's leader said we will give him a fair trial. and finally, what does this all mean for the region? some believe it could breathe new life into protests elsewhere, even in syria, others warn even successful revolutions can breed chaos, most recently new violence between egypt and israel. the u.s. is now working to give the interim government access to $30 billion of gadhafi's frozen assets, if the new leaders can impose order on chaos, experts expect another benefit, lower world oil prices as libya's oil production comes back online. >>> our pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski broke this news last week on this broadcast, that gadhafi's time in power

libya. because clearly, moammar gadhafi made himself fairly unpopular with his fellows. how much solidarity do you think we'll see in the reconstruction, in the reconstruction of the -- in reaching out to the new regime that's likely to emerge, perhaps in the next few days? will there be money? will they dig deep to rebuild libya? >> this is very important point, charles. who is going to lead that process? at the last g.a. summit and the g-20 summit, there was an effort by france to consolidate and talk about a marshall fund for egypt and tunisia. one would say the argument, of course, this should include libya in the transition. this is a big fight going forward. but we also should put into context, this is not a country like egypt of 80 million people. this is 6.5 million. they've been living under the rule of moammar gadhafi for better than 40 years. it's somewhat dysfunctional leadership. very strong personality. but not a lot of institutional structure. so who is going to fill the void? i find if fascinating that the arab league came out in the last 24 hours and saying they support the solidarity with all the efforts of the national transitional council going forward. will the arab league
