libya colonel muammar gaddafi nearly gone? looks like the end is near for the libyan dictator after 42 years as there leader?, but still not quite there either.
on the news they keep saying gaddafi is gone, yet still not yet, the rebels have taken control of colonel gaddafi compound in tripoli, yet gaddafi had fled with some of his loyalist soldiers to put up his final stand really.
times do look bleak for mr gaddafi after being the leader of libya for 42 years, which is a tremendous amount of time for a leader to be in power over a country, this is because gaddafi took control of libya at a very young age.
did you know a interesting fact?, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has a all female bodyguard, i think around 300 female bodyguards protected gaddafi at all times, for his years in power and leader of libya.
Where is Colonel Muammar Gaddafi?
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has been broadcasting defiant audio messages since rebels moved in on Tripoli but a mystery remains over his whereabouts.
The AFP news agency quoted diplomatic sources earlier on Monday saying that Gaddafi was "very likely" to be still holed up in his compound in the capital.
Alternative theories are that he has already fled Libya.
A rebel spokesman in London said that Gaddafi has already left the country for Algeria, although that claim remains unproven.
this is the big question at the moment on just whereabouts is Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, options being that he might have fled libya into asylum into another country could be very possible.
interesting to look at some of the buildings the gaddafi family have left beind and also what about gaddafi's billions?.
Libyan rebel fighters and their families got a first hand view of the luxurious apartments of fugitive Muammar Gaddafi's daughter Aisha at his compound in Tripoli.
5.9 earthquake shakes the usa new york and washington in america this is crazy shocking news on the 23rd august 2011, and i have been watching videos on youtube of when this earthquake hit america and people are like what is going on the room is shaking.
this is major news, because i do not ever remember hearing that earthquakes shook america as such but definitely not earthquakes shaking new york or washington dc, the capital of america.
its strange as well there is war raging in libya and america shaking from earthquakes all on the same day, the war might nearly be over in libya today and also a major news story that there is a very big earthquake in the usa on the same day.
2 massive news stories in one day with it looking like colonel muammar gaddafi has been ousted from power after 42 years, which is a massive news story, but what do i also see america has been hit by a massive earthquake at the capital of the usa washington dc and right across to new york, it basically hit a very large area in the usa across all that range of usa on the east coast, and i thought it was only the california area of the usa that was susceptible to major earthquakes along the san andreas fault line on the west coast of the united states, but not the other side of the usa on the east coast.
this is some stats about the earthquake

london riots hackney video footage current news update on events of the 3rd day of rioting in london uk.
found this video which has very good picture quality to some of the other videos that have just been posted on youtube about the 3rd night of rioting in the london borough of hackney.
British MP Diane Abbott who is the member of parliament for hackney, talks about why she thinks these riots are happening, tonight in hackney and why the riots have spread to hackney.
the problem with all this rioting and looting is that it will close a lot of the businesses down that are in these areas, and so if the rioters say it is because of unemployment for a reason for rioting there rioting will be probably creating more unemployment.
so far these are the main current news updates on what has been happening in hackney over the last few hours, and you would think a big police presence will bring a lot of this under control, are the police being spread too thin though?.
also noticed that todays date is the 8th of the 8th month, seem to get strange things happen on strange dates at times, or when the month and day are the same, video below of london riots hackney monday 8th august 2011.

Kerry Katona is (might be) in celebrity big brother 2011 channel 5?.
if you was wondering on who is going to be the new celebrity big brother 2011 on channel 5, it looks confirmed but not announced that kerry katona will be one of the main housemates in the new series of celebrity big brother 2011 on channel 5, starting later this month.
channel 5 do not announce who is actually going into the celebrity big brother 2011 house until the night of the first live show of celeb big brother 2011, but the rumour mill is already announcing who "might" be on the 2011 version of celebrity big brother, with kerry katona looking a strong favourite to do the celebrity big brother show in 2011.
others rumoured for celebrity big brother 2011 are jedward, pamela anderson, sally bercow and amy childs, these are the rumoured celebs so far.
Nicki Minaj NO pictures video here of the wardrobe malfunction on american tv good morning america live accident just the question was it STAGED?.
there is going to be no pictures posted here of Nicki Minaj slip up on good morning america tv today, just the question why do these so called "accidents" keep happening on live american tv?.
does anyone else think these janet jackson type events are staged?, i think these exposure events that seem to happen a lot on american tv are made to happen on purpose by these celebs and pop stars, especially when wearing all the wrong kind of clothes.
the time janet jackson had her superbowl accident with justin timberlake at the superbowl a few years ago, i think was obviously planned to happen.
the way to stop these things from happening would be not to allow these so called pop stars to perform live on tv especially before say 9pm time then these "controversial" events would not be able to happen like with Nicki Minaj on todays good morning america tv show.
these are not the kind of things you want to watch on breakfast tv while eating your cornflakes, and i think they have been orchestrated on purpose.
rappers or pop stars like Nicki Minaj are really not good role models at the end of the day.
the start date for the new series of the x factor in 2011 is saturday the 20th august 2011.
so x factor 2011 will be back on tv in about a week or so, and also this month, so not long to wait for the new x factor 2011 to be back on your tv screens, itv 1 and itv 2, the air date for the return of x factor 2011 on itv is 20/8/2011.
Duncan Bannatyne hunt via twitter for blackmailer of his girl and family, Duncan Bannatyne did not mess around after receiving threats against his family and took to twitter, to get the blackmailer from russia found via email addresses and ip address.
these were the threats that dragons den star Duncan Bannatyne received-
"Duncan - Dear Dragon.
"My name is Yuri Vasilyev and I'm looking for a £35,000 investment to stop us hurting your Hollie Bannatyne. We will bring hurt and pain into your life.
"We are watching her. She is very attractive. Want photos?
"Tweet using the hashtag #4money to confirm payment will be made."
Duncan Bannatyne turned it back at the russian blackmailer called Yuri Vasilyev, with threats of his own, as his twitter following might have tracked down the facebook page of the russian blackmailer.
still a strange story in a way though, this news story about Duncan Bannatyne using twitter to track down a russian blackmailer called Yuri Vasilyev.

and is going to be in the same format as the original big brother series that used to be on channel 4, but gone is davina mccall as a presenter and in comes two new big brother presents who will be Brian Dowling and Emma Willis.
the audition and application form stages for big brother 2011 are now over from what i can tell, and so it is too late to apply for the big brother 2011 on channel 5, and the new house mates will have mostly been selected for the new series or new version of big brother 2011 on channel 5.
channel 5 big brother 2011 are also going to run the celebrity big brother concept as well, and it has been rumoured (as happens in advance) on various different stars being picked for celebrity big brother 2011, among the famous names rumoured so far is charlie sheen.
the show will probably be a big success due to having a relaunch and make over for channel 5 and so is essentially new all over again.
but as far as big brother 2011 news goes, the main thing is to look for it to start on channel 5 in about 2 or 3 weeks time, in august 2011.
