Red Cross says at least 800 people killed in unrest in Ivory Coast's Duekoue region

[The Straight Story]

Fierce fighting has turned Ivory Coast's largest city into a war zone, as the country's president refuses to step down after losing an election.

Troops loyal to Laurent Gbagbo have clashed with forces seeking to install presidential rival Alassane Ouattara - the man named by UN-certified results as the rightful winner of the November 28 election.

The heaviest clashes have centred around the state television station in Abidjan, which went off the air after it was attacked by pro-Ouattara forces. They now claim to have seized control of the building.

Heavy weapons fire could also be heard from near Mr Gbagbo's residence and presidential palace, both of which have come under attack, as well as two military bases.
