The debate over whether to publish a picture of the dead body of Osama Bin Laden.

The US authorities announce Osama Bin Laden wasn't armed but did resist when a team of Navy seals raided his compound. Should a picture of his body be published?

Rhod Sharp with news from around the world.

The White House is under pressure to show the world a picture of the body of Osama Bin Laden.

Rhod speaks to William Milam, a former US ambassador to Pakistan and to a former Navy Seal about the mission which ended with the death of Osama Bin Laden. The training is legendary - and very tough. Up to 85% of recruits drop out.

Everyone has had a different reaction to the death of Osama Bin Laden. Gary Weddle from Washington state is probably the only one to have marked the occasion by shaving. On September 11th 2001 he vowed not to shave until Bin Laden was captured. He tells Rhod why.

Plus, our correspondent in Sydney tells us how the AV system has worked in the political system there.
