Libya, a funeral competition and a huge rock is sold for thousands.

Libya - we hear what's happening in Zawiya, a funeral competition in Germany and a huge rock is sold for thousands in New Zealand.

A man based in the UK whose family lives in Zawiyah tell us that the town is deserted and forces loyal to Col Gaddafi are destroying it.

A radio station in Germany is being sued for running a competition for a listener to win the cost of their own funeral. Jens Pflueger, who's running the competition at Radio Galaxy, explains the thinking behind it.

After a 30 tonne rock smashed through his house during the New Zealand earthquake this month, one Christchurch resident had an idea - why not sell it? He even has a name for it - Rocky! Phil Johnson explains why he's selling the rock.

Plus we hear from the Nou Camp as Arsenal go out of the Champions League to Barcelona.
