Journalists covering the Libya crisis have been taken on a late-night tour of Muammar Gaddafi's heavily fortified compound in the capital, Tripoli.
The tour was organised on the day that the British government confirmed the resignation and defection of Libya's foreign minister Musa Kusa.
Crowds of Gaddafi supporters gather every night at the Bab al Aziziyah complex to form a human shield to protect him from air strikes.
