[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 142586, member: 35"] Libya erupts as Gaddafi clings on - live updates [COLOR="Blue"]If you check this link periodically you can get live updates on the situation, courtesy of The Guardian. [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2011/feb/22/libya-gaddafi-speech-reaction-live-updates[/url][/COLOR] 6.32pm: We're having some difficulty this evening contacting some of the people we spoke to yesterday in Libya, while relatives here in London also say that phone lines to loved ones in Tripoli and Benghazi also seem to be down. Al Jazeera has meanwhile said that the widespread disruptions of its signal have been traced to Libya. The Associated Press news agency filed this: A statement by the Doha-based network says it has pinpointed the disruption of its Arabic-language service to a building south of the Libyan capital Tripoli. It notes that the disruptions have hit "the whole Arab region," but the network did not say whether it could be linked to Muammar Gaddafi's regime or another group. Al-Jazeera also says its main website has been blocked inside Libya, where an uprising poses unprecedented challenges to Gaddafi's 42-year rule. Earlier this month, Egyptian authorities tried to cut off satellite access to Al-Jazeera during the height of the revolt that toppled Hosni Mubarak. 6.17pm: The earthquake in New Zealand led the BBC six o'clock news this evening ahead of Libya - although it had a sizeable package on the uprising, Gaddafi's speech and David Cameron's ongoing tour of the middle east. In the continuing absence of a team on the ground, the BBC used new footage sent out of Libya using the internet which showed protesters coming under fire on the streets of Tripoli, and images of troops in heavily patrolled residential neighbourhoods. It cut to a segment from a phone interview with one anguished woman in the city who told of seeing one of her neighbours being shot dead. "She was a woman who just went out on to the balcony of her house, but they shot her dead," she said "They are not human." Protesters in neighbouring Tunisia were shown ripping down the Libyan flag and replacing it with a pre-Gaddafi era one, which the BBC's Ian Pannell said was fast becoming a symbol of the uprising. The BBC said it had received a large number of emails from Britons who were still in Libya and were worried about how they were going to leave. ------------------- 5.22pm: My colleague Simon Rogers has posted this graphic representation of what people are saying about Libya. 5.19pm: The White House has condemned the "appalling" violence in Libya. Spokesman Jay Carney said: "We offer our condolences to families of the victims in Libya of this appalling violence." Live blog: recap 5.06pm: Muammar Gaddafi has now finished his speech.
