Libya conflict: NATO's man against Gaddafi

Outside the alliance few may know his name. But Lieutenant General Charlie Bouchard has been charged with directing this complex war, and political leaders in the West are pinning their hopes on him. We meet the plain-speaking Canadian lieutenant general at NATO's Joint Command Headquarters on the outskirts of Naples. The military operation is being run from an unremarkable office block. Men and women, in a surprisingly large variety of camouflaged uniforms and flying suits with the badges of different nations, walk with purpose between rooms closed off for security.

There is a sudden rush of activity as Bouchard enters the building for his first morning meeting.
