91Èȱ¬

I'm the 91Èȱ¬'s media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what's going on in the industry.

Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's security forces detained and beat up a 91Èȱ¬ news team who were trying to reach the strife-torn city of Zawiya, the 91Èȱ¬ reports. The three were beaten with fists, knees and rifles, hooded and subjected to mock executions by members of Libya's army and secret police. The men were detained on Monday and held for 21 hours, but have now flown out of Libya.

Outgoing 91Èȱ¬ chairman Sir Michael Lyons used his last major speech to launch a scathing attack on the Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand obscene phone call scandal.

He told MPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee that reductions in the distribution of the 91Èȱ¬ Arabic service would not be as severe as originally planned. But he ruled out a wholesale reversal of the changes, which will see the loss of 60 jobs and an estimated 5.7 million listeners.

The Daily Mail's headline - "Work for longer and get a smaller pension" - gives a flavour of what public sector workers can expect from Lord Hutton's final report on their pensions according to the 91Èȱ¬'s newspaper review. The Hutton review is also the lead for the Times, Guardian and Daily Express.
