[Fredricka Whitfield, Cnn Anchor:] This hour two American hikers are now facing eight years in prison in Iran. Iranian state run television says Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer were sentenced today. The two have been locked up in Iran since they were seized near the Iraqi- Kurdish border two years ago. A third hiker Sara Shourd was released in September for medical reasons. And dramatic new security cam video of what happens on the streets of England and what happened rather during the riots in the UK. British police say the footage showed masked, hooded troublemakers firing at unarmed officers. Police believed the group intended to set fire to a local pub in Birmingham. At least 11 shots were fired at police. And here in the U.S., the so-called West Memphis Three are enjoying their first full day of freedom after 18 years behind bars. The trio were released from prison yesterday after cutting a complicated deal with Arkansas prosecutors. The men were convicted for the brutal killings of three cub scouts in 1992, a crime they have long maintained their never committed. An Indiana community is saying goodbye to a hero. Funeral services are being held today for 49-year-old Glen Goodrich, one of the six victims who died in last weeks' stage collapse at the Indiana state fire. Goodrich's mother said her son saved the lives of a woman and a child who were near the stage when it fell. Goodrich leaves behind a wife and two sons. A thunderstorm hit the Chicago area this morning prompting the city to delay its air and water show. About two million spectators were expected to attend, the big draw, the thunderbirds. Just after the show started, the crowd was told to seek cover. Once the storm passed, the show resumed. All right. Back to that major story out of Iran. The fate of American hikers Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal. Iran's state run television said the pair had been sentenced to eight years in prison. A journalist, Shirzad Bozorghmer, joins us now on the phone from Tehran. All right. So give us an idea, what information, is there any real confirmation that they have indeed been sentenced? SHIRZAD BOZORGMEHR, JOURNALIST
[Whitfield:] And Shirzad if indeed it is the case that they were sentenced to eight years, given the history of others, including a journalist a few years ago who were sentenced to a rather lengthy time to be served and was released just shortly thereafter, is there a strong possibility that this is really a message being sent to the western community and that perhaps they may not have to serve all eight years?
[Bozorghmer:] Well, as you said, the lady you're referring to is Roxana Farbari who's a freelance journalist
[Whitfield:] All right. Shirzad, thanks so much for your reporting, I appreciate that. All right. We are closely watching developments in Libya as well, where rebels west of Tripoli made a very strong claim today, that they managed to push Moammar Gadhafi's troops out of the last key city before reaching the capital, that as the latest NATO air strikes are still echoing in Tripoli. Matthew Chance is now joining us from Tripoli. It is now after 10:00 there in Tripoli, so we're hearing the U.S. officials say Moammar Gadhafi may be planning his last stand and other rebels are saying it could be any day now, what are you learning?
[Matthew Chance, Cnn Senior International Correspondent:] Well, we just have to wait and see, certainly we haven't seen any sign as yet of a rebel advance into Tripoli itself. We have been witnessing of course those very ferocious and low running battles that have been taking place, in places like
[Whitfield:] And Matthew, what is this about conflicting reports that Moammar Gadhafi, people close to him are making arrangements so that he could flee to Tunisia?
[Chance:] Well, there are rumors. Rumors that the Gadhafi regime had put out feelers to other Arab countries to Egypt, to Algeria, to neighboring Tunisia, to Nigeria as well, to see what those countries would be willing to provide safe haven for Colonel Gadhafi's family and even for Colonel Gadhafi himself. The rebels,
[Whitfield:] Clearly a lot of uncertainty. Thank you so much, Matthew Chance, in Tripoli. So let's move now about 30 miles west along the coast to the city of Zawiyah. That's where CNN's Sara Sidner is with anti-Gadhafi rebel forces. Sara, tell us about this firefight that you and the crew were quite witness to, quite frankly right in the middle of today.
[Sara Sidner, Cnn Correspondent:] Yes, it was pretty scary. That was though now more than 10 hours ago, and what I can tell you is that city has now been taken by the rebels. We went all the way into the city center today. That's where the massive amount of fighting was happening. Yesterday, when we got caught in the firefight, we got back safely obviously. But what we saw today was a city destroyed, at least in the center of town and towards the east, where Gadhafi forces were pounding the town with artillery fired and with what's known as grad missiles. These are huge missiles that are like seven feet long and they can do massive damage to buildings and that is what we saw in the city center. However we were told by rebels that they had the help of NATO. That a couple of days ago they were all told to evacuate the city center, to move out any residents that were in the area. We do know that the Gadhafi forces had snipers on some of these buildings and eventually NATO came in within the past 24 hours and they actually bombed some of the city center. You can see that some of the buildings have fallen in. But a big mess in the middle of the city though the rebels are celebrating. You can hear celebratory gun fire. We've been listening to it all night. The rebels are celebrating because they have taken this very strategic town, Fredricka.
[Whitfield:] So, Sara, you know, are these rebel forces prepared to take on loyalists to Gadhafi if indeed they advance toward Tripoli?
[Sidner:] It's interesting to note when we asked them these kind of questions, they say, "Well, god willing, we're going to be able to do this." But they're very confident they're going to be able to move up to the city. The question is what will happen when they get or if they get to Tripoli. They believe they will be getting to Tripoli in the next few days, not the next few weeks. They are very, very excited about that and adamant that they'll be able to make it to Tripoli. But as you heard Matthew Chance there in Tripoli, everyone believes that there will be a massive firefight there unless something drastically change, Fredricka.
[Whitfield:] All right. Sara Sidner in Zawiyah, Libya. Thanks so much. And back here in the states, in case you haven't heard there's a big wedding going on on the west coast today. Reality TV star Kim Kardashian tying the knot. Will take you live to California in a moment.
