Ivory Coast: Besieged Gbagbo 'in basement' of residence

Ivory Coast's defiant President Laurent Gbagbo is sheltering with his family in the basement of his surrounded residence in the main city, Abidjan, the UN and military sources say.

Troops loyal to Mr Gbagbo's rival, UN-recognised President Alassane Ouattara, say they have surrounded the compound.

Pro-Ouattara forces said earlier they had already overrun the residence.

Mr Gbagbo's foreign minister, Alcide Djedje, who is in the French embassy, says there is now a ceasefire.
