There was no doubt about our top story this week, Libya, but a lot to think about beyond the immediate news. That's what we've done, with the front page looking forward to the challenges facing the disparate rebel coalition that's overthrown the Gaddafi regime, and an inside analysis of the military framework that made this possible (a great deal of input from Nato). The Guardian's Luke Harding was also on the streets of Tripoli soon after the city fell, and reports on the range of views there about events.
Away from that dominating news, there was plenty else going on, with exchanges of fire between Israel and Gaza militants after a border attack that's also strained Israeli-Egyptian relations; a UN mission seeing close-up the strength of opposition to the Assad regime in Syria; and Kim Jong-il making a rare venture out of his hermit state, in a bid to rebuild relations with Russia.
Switching from the news agenda, on our comment pages Sarah Ditum looks at how advertisers know just which buttons to press to provoke childish supermarket tantrums, and we look at bees (the lesser known solitary kind which may become more to important to the world as honeybees struggle), and the enemies of bees - the fast-spreading Asian hornet.
But there's good news from Colombia, wheremagnificent condors are thriving, and, one proper silly season story, the tale of a runaway cow evading all inducements to return to captivity in Germany.
I hope that you enjoy this edition.
