Morning Chatter
What we're hearing
Need to know:

Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi were striking back in several cites surrounding Tripoli, as Libya's rebellion came within 30 miles of the capital. But anti-government protesters declared victory elsewhere after reportedly seizing control of the third largest city.

 

Regardless of what comes next in Libya's lethal political standoff, the country's oil sector is nearly certain to suffer, bringing long-lasting oil supply disruptions or even permanent damage.

 

The Indepedent's Robert Fisk is one of the first reporters to reach the Libyan capital. Read what he has to say.

Want to know:

A British court ordered that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange be extradited to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations.

Dull but important:

The projected rise in global temperatures could be cut in half in coming years if world governments focused on reducing emissions of two harmful pollutants - black carbon and ground-level ozone, including methane - rather than carbon dioxide alone, according to a U.N. study.

Just because:

Here's Abraham Lincoln on Bolshaya Pirogovskaya Street, larger than life, shaking hands with Czar Alexander II. They are the Emancipator and the Liberator, joined together in a new work by sculptor Alexander Burganov. They're looking jolly, these men who, half a world apart, presided over the freeing of serfs and slaves.

Wacky:

How the British fell out of love with drugs. The number of young people taking drugs has fallen by 30 percent in 15 years. Is the drop down to quality, bad celebrity PR or price?

 

Fun photos of the day: pictures of the year.
