Ceasefire offer rejected in Libya

After anti-Gaddafi fighters lose ground in a week of fierce fighting, the Benghazi-based National Council offers a ceasefire deal - swiftly rejected by government officials.

The offer came as UN envoy Abdelilah al Katib visited both Gaddafi loyalists in Tripoli and opposition officials in Benghazi.

Al Jazeera's James Bays reports from Benghazi on the latest efforts to exploit apparent divisions within Gaddafi's inner circle.
