• Ivory Coast's incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo was arrested on Monday at his Abidjan residence, a spokesman for his rival Alassane Ouattara confirmed.

• More than 1,000 people, many of them civilians, are said to have been killed during the conflict, including hundreds killed in a massacre suspected of being carried out by pro-Ouattara forces in Duekoue, western Ivory Coast.
• Human Rights Watch said there had been widespread abuses by Mr. Ouattara's forces.
