Libya rebels advance
The uprising against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is in its sixth week. The rebels had been losing ground until the Western-led air strikes began on March 19th. Those strikes have enabled the rebels to regain control of eastern Libya and they are now advancing west along the main coastal road. Correspondent Ben Gilbert is in the rebel held city of Benghazi.
