Libya-Tunisia border crossing 'returning to normal'

The border between Libya and Tunisia is returning to normal after the exodus of refugees from Libya, says the BBC's Jim Muir.

A refugee camp, which is still providing shelter for around 20,000 people, will stay in place in case of another large influx of refugees from Libya.

Meanwhile, the UN has appointed a new envoy to Libya and is to send in a humanitarian team as the battle between forces loyal to Col Gaddafi and rebels intensifies.
