00:00We're here on the outskirts of Beda.
00:07This whole area was a palace that belonged to the Gaddafi family.
00:13Over the hill here was the summer residence of his wife and this whole area was used by
00:19SAFE.
00:20This is the first day that locals have been in here and Gulf News is here.
00:24Behind me you can see tennis courts, basketball, indoor soccer.
00:30Children are playing here for the first time, they've never seen this before.
00:35We're about to go inside one of SAFE's homes, it has a swimming pool I'm told and beneath
00:42it apparently there's 3km of bunkers.
00:46So this is our first look and a lot of these people's first look at the secret life of
00:51the Gaddafis.
00:53This place has been liberated by locals, there's still a smell of smoke, we can smell it in
00:58the air and we'll try and go inside, bring you inside.
01:03This is SAFE's summer home, SAFE Gaddafi's summer home.
01:07Where I'm standing is the back entrance to SAFE's secret bunker.
01:14Down below there are rooms, a generator, mechanical rooms, bedrooms, kitchens.
01:21You can see just at my foot here there's a DVD case, somebody was working out to Tanturi
01:32the motor.
01:34Looks like the Gaddafis have moored it out of here for now.
01:38After all of this excitement, rooting around in SAFE's tunnels, there's only one thing
01:44to do, let's go up to the pool.
01:48I'm tired, I've been on the road for 3 days, I haven't had a shower.
01:53I think there's only one thing to do and that's strip off and jump in, into the Gaddafi's
01:58pool.
01:59How cold is that?
