UN vows to help Libyans against Col Gaddafi
The United Nations Security Council has approved a resolution for the creation of a no-fly zone to protect civilians in Libya from attacks by Col Gaddafi's forces.
The resolution calls for "all necessary measures", but rules out the use of foreign ground troops.
Ten countries voted in favour, none against, with five abstentions, including China and Russia. French officials have said military action could start within hours. Britain has cautioned against this suggestion.
The BBC's Dominic Kane reports.
