The protests that have spread across the Arab world have claimed another dictator this week, Libya's Muammar Gaddafi.

Sunday's Dateline has expert analysis of the upheaval as Yalda Hakim asks who will run Libya now? And what does it mean for the whole region and its international relations?

Dateline has been following the story since the fight back against Gaddafi's 40 year rule took hold in February.

The program reported from the eastern city of Benghazi as it celebrated liberation; met some of the refugees streaming across the border into Tunisia; and on Sunday will report on the jubilant scenes on the streets of the capital, Tripoli.

Plus presenter Yalda Hakim looks back at Dateline's 2010 interview with Gaddafi, when he confidently insisted that the people were with him and dismissed the title of 'dictator' as stupid.
