#Libya Al Jazeera's Sue Turton reports on developments from near Bani Walid:

Rebels have pushed to within 7km of the centre of Bani Walid. They exchanged fire with some of the Gaddafi's forces. But they have since retreated a little bit instead of setting up a defensive position there, and the reason for that is, we have more talks..

He said that another group had come forward from the centre of Bani Walid saying that they are completely separate from the others that wanted to talk yesterday when it all broke down..

The rebels yet again have said we will stall going any further, they have pulled back from that 7km mark, they are static there now and they are waiting yet again to see if they can come to any agreement..

They are very concerned that there could very well be civilians who are killed, so they are willing to talk to just about anybody that puts their hands up and says they represent anything to do with the pro-Gaddafi forces..
