Libya marks Gaddafi anniversary

Libya has started a week of massive celebrations to mark 40 years since the coup that brought Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to power.

Jets have been flying over the capital Tripoli to prepare for a military parade which is due to start shortly.

Hundreds of dancers and musicians will put on a show charting Libya's history, followed by a firework display.

Several African and Arab leaders are attending the celebrations but Western leaders are staying away.
