Months of chaos in Libya have come to a head. More fighting broke out in the key eastern city of Benghazi today and the sounds of gunfire came as no surprise, after a retired Libyan general vowed to reclaim the city from extremists. A lot of the fighting is that Libya is suffering from a power vacuum ever since the fall of former dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Becky spoke to Libyan expert Dirk Vandewalle who says the country is in the middle of a full out civil war.
