but today, in paris, there are political losers as well as winners.ermany's chancellor refused to back the libyans early on. the big loser is colonel gaddafi himself. today marks 42 years exactly since he seized power in a coup. of course, now he is a fugitive. his capture remains another piece of unfinished business. tonight, in paris, there's a feeling that the war against gaddafi, although not over, is all but one. the challenges that libyans, with outside help when they wanted, can win the peace. >> colonel gaddafi himself has made another audio address in hiding. he gave no sign of backing down and pledged to fines from his supporters. >> a rifle with bullets -- let bullets speak. let it be a long battle where we show to them that they cannot overthrow the libyan people. they cannot subjugate our armed tribe. let it be a long fight until our victory >> meanwhile, many -- our victory. quick>> meanwhile, a prison useo maintain the opponents of the gadhafi regime, as well as islamist to extremist transferred to libya from western governments. >> the

chris morris is in paris, where leaders have just spoken about their plans for libya's future. give us the latest. >> this evening in paris was all about the symbolism of the leaders of the new, emerging libya being surrounded by leading members of the international community, the message being these are the people we support to take libya into a different future. colonel gaddafi possibly trying to disrupt that with his promise of retribution and further attacks to come. in a way, it increased the symbolism. he was isolated and in hiding. here was a member of the national transitional council being promised further support. let us hear from the british prime minister, david cameron. >> nato continue to implement the security resolutions for as long as we are needed to protect civilian life. the nations here today have pledged a commitment to international law, justice, and accountability. freedom in tripoli is bringing to light evidence of unspeakable crimes. >> the other thing which was said again and again today, and i think the message is going out that this is not the same

anya's new leaders were at international conference in paris. there was a stark reminder of the cost. colonel gaddafi issued a statement saying, let's libya be engulfed in flames. he vowed that the battle is not over. tonight, we have complete coverage. we start with our diplomatic correspondent. >> president sarkozy and david >>> are proud of the risks they took. -- cameron are proud of the risks they took. this was the arrival of the elite that recounted today. the rebel leader, now on the verge of government. he was gaddafi's justice minister until february. he previously defied the dictator and defected to have the uprising. around the conference table, he was being tested. >>> the's people achieve unity and reconciliation? the key players made clear they believe any libya can succeed. >> enormous difficulties lie at had. libyans are showing the world that courage, and resilience. they're coming together to tackle shortages of water and potter, hospitals are reopening. the leaders have been clear and consistent and cautioning against disorde

apart from the fact that we were so far behind and because paris was paris.it was the cultural capital of the world. both of these reasons had to do with our culture, our society, our moral rules and regulations than it had to do with science. most american women at that time would have truly literally preferred to have died than to have a man examine their body and since all doctors were men, thousands of women died unnecessarily because of that. in france and europe there was no stigma about women being examined for illness or bird or whatever by male physicians, and equally important, students could make the rounds with a trained physician in the hospital to watch the physician attending during examination of the women patients. the second very important roadblock for us was the strong opposition to the use of cadavers. in many states, half of the states they were illegal. of what that meant was there was a black market for human bodies, and because of that, the bodies were very expensive and because of that, students almost never got to dissect a cadaver

paris has faced moscow for helping nato in terms of giving the air corridor or through its air space for a nato cargo to be shipped to again instead russia is also to supply military helicopters to afghanistan which have been initially designed to work in those conditions but the whole for size of stressed to be will have to make sure that this transition of power will be conducted properly so that the afghani afterwards will be able to keep the situation under control once nato forces are gone and i thanks very much for that update there you go there live from moscow. all right well hope for a better country but not as part of the united kingdom there's a strong sense of national identity and wales which has helped fuel calls for it to achieve independence following similar calls for their north in scotland. reports the debate continues to rage over whether welsh ambitions are driven by economic sense or emotion. welcome to wales part of the u.k. and a proud nation with its own language and customs and the latest voice to call for independence applied comrie which means the party of

and it is a rerun of a meeting in paris two weeks ago. the criticism from timothy geithner and robert zelig is that europe always seems to be behind the curve. they are reacting to problems, not solving the big issues. there need to be big decisions taken on the future of the eurozone. the painful truth is it will mean either closer integration or abandoning greece and trying to organize some sort of orderly default. the people i spoke to in paris are adamant that greece has to be saved. it is not just grease that is the problem, of course. italy and spain could follow. they fear a domino effect. they are very keen, even though greece is one of the smaller partners, to ensure it does not fall out of the eurozone. but how will they reassure the markets that it can be done in a proper way? >> and persuade their own population to carry on offering bailouts. in longer-term, what does closer integration do to solve the issue of there being a couple of big, strong economies, and a bunch of weak ones? >> i can speak to the perspective of people
