[0:01] Rock stars are falling for the world's

[0:03] hottest models. Watch Inside Edition

[0:09] >> from ABC. This is World News Tonight

[0:12] with Peter Jennings.

[0:13] >> Good evening. We begin tonight in the

[0:15] Libyan capital, Tripoli, where Moar

[0:16] Gaddafi has tried to break the United

[0:18] Nations embargo on his country on the

[0:21] very first day it's been imposed. He

[0:23] failed. The United Nations sanctions

[0:25] went into effect this morning because

[0:26] the Libyan government refuses to turn

[0:28] over to the US and Britain. The two men

[0:30] wanted for the bombing of Panama Flight

[0:32] 103. A dozen countries, including the

[0:35] United States, have expelled Libyan

[0:37] diplomats, and the air embargo is now in

[0:41] place and effective. ABC's Pierre

[0:43] Salinger is in Tripoli.

[0:45] >> In Libya today, life went on very

[0:48] normally.

[0:49] All the stores are open and people are

[0:51] putting in their usual workday.

[0:54] >> Gaddafi is openly defiant of the United

[0:57] Nations.

[0:58] >> He says that Arabs should kneel to no

[1:00] one except Allah, but the sanctions, at

[1:03] least in the short term, have rallied

[1:05] support for him. Libyan Arab airlines

[1:08] tried to break the air embargo, but

[1:10] failed. Two flights to Cairo were turned

[1:13] back by the Egyptian government. A

[1:15] Libyan plane heading for Zurich was

[1:17] diverted by Italian war plananes and

[1:19] forced back to Tripoli. Another flight

[1:21] was turned around by Tunisian air

[1:23] controllers.

[1:25] Despite the air embargo, the UN

[1:27] sanctions are likely to have little

[1:28] effect on the daily life of Libyan

[1:30] citizens. Food and medicine are flowing

[1:33] freely into the country across the land

[1:35] borders with Tunisia and E
