• BBC News - Turmoil in Tunisia: As it happened on Friday

  • 1628: BBC Monitoring reports that emotions ran high in one debate on Tunisian TV7, in which one of the pundits screamed: "People are being shot dead with live ammunition. How can you praise the president?" He then turned to the camera and said: "Ben Ali, as you know him, is dead." The debate was immediately cut short. Shortly after, a TV technician sat in the studio, next to the newsreader, and went on apologise to the public and condemn his own channel's coverage of events, saying they were government employees and they were doing what they had been asked to do.
