(ITN News: 0601 PST, March 22, 2011) An aircraft taking part in operations over Libya has crashed in rebel-held territory.

Reports indiciate that allied air strikes are making a difference on the ground in Libya, with momentum shifting away from forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi. However, rebels are still finding progress difficult in many areas.

Air Strikes Offer Libya's Rebels Reprieve

(Euronews: 0728 PST, March 22, 2011) Only a few days ago Libyan rebels were on the verge of being crushed by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi. However, the heavy bombardment by the Western led coalition appears to have swung the momentum in Libya's civil war.

The main road out of the eastern city of Benghazi is now littered with the regime's vehicles scorched by attacks from the air. That has allowed the opposition to push towards Ajdabiya, though for the time being the town remains under Gaddafi's control.

Al Jazeera's James Bays filed this report 9km outside the town, where the AJE team had earlier come under missile fire from Gaddafi's forces.

Coalition Strikes Change Balance in Libya

(Al Jazeera English: 0832 PST, March 15, 2011) Troops loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi continue to advance on rebel fighters. Here's latest from Libya from Tony Birtley, Al Jazeera's correspondent reporting from Benghazi.

During this month, where women are often celebrated in the U.S., we are talking about violence against women, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  Recently, we were inspired by a heart-wrenchingly honest opinion piece written by Nick Kristof in the New York Times that shed some much-needed light on the vicious injustices taking place against the women of the Congo, which Kristof says is on par with (or even exceeds) the devastation that hit Haiti last month --only not as sudden.  5.4 million people, mainly women and children, have been tortured, raped, and killed as a result of the conflict that began in the DRC over a decade ago.

Join us in spreading the word about this important and under-reported issue in the Congo – where violence against women has become an act of war.  Please visit our page linktv.org/womenincongo to learn more, and then tell your friends about it.  Through the rest of February, for every 10 new Facebook fans Link TV will donate $5 (up to $500) to Women for Women International's Run for Congo Women campaign.
