Libya: London conference will plan for life after Gaddafi

Foreign Secretary said that the conference will look at humanitarian needs in the country, but also plan for a democratic future without the man who has led Libya for four decades.
Mr Hague has denied the coalition offensive in Libya is aimed at regime change, but confirmed that he hoped Col Gaddafi would step down.
While the Libyan opposition's Interim National Transitional Council will not be attending today's conference, a United Nations envoy will be heading to Libya from Britain.
"One of the things that we will launch at the conference today is the political process that will, of course, include that national council," Mr Hague told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Mr Hague said Britain wanted Gaddafi to face the International Criminal Court but refused to say where the dictator should go if he stood down.
