Yesterday, reports said Nato was unsure whether Libya's Col Muammar Gaddafi was alive as he had not made any public appearance in two weeks.

But today, Libya's state TV has shown footage of Gaddafi meeting tribal leaders in Tripoli - his first public appearance in nearly two weeks. The bbc.co.uk quotes Libyan officials saying that the video was shot in the capital yesterday, but has not been verified.

Col Gaddafi has not been seen since 30 April - when a Nato strike killed his youngest son and three grandchildren.
