have to make sure that they are getting the assistance they need and of that of the fighting ceases. and the, the talking starts in nigeria, he made a seminal speech calling for the defense of democracy and democratic values saying that africans should not be treated as junior partners, but as equal partners on the global diplomatic playing field. now these are strong words from the secretary of states who's trying to re establish relationships. here in the car, he spoke in french, signed a raft of deals between u. s. companies and the government here infrastructure deals. and whilst he didn't mention china by word, he alluded to chinese investment, ensuring that american investments would not put african countries in debt. here in the pesto institute, that blinkin said that the united states will continue to help the manufacturing of

coven vaccine. right here on the continent, only 2 percent of people in africa are vaccinated, and that's a concern, not just to people here in senegal or the african continent, but that's an issue globally. we take you to see don now where a police station has caught fire during the latest round of demonstrations that the people are demanding justice for those killed and a returned democracy after the army chief took control of the government last month . at least 40 people have been killed since the military takeover out there is hey, bill morgan has more now from the capital heart. him, police have been saying that despite most of the pros has being people, some, some of the protests of have been attacking police properties on public properties and it looks like this is one of the scenarios. however, some of the professors from north, where this fully station was burned, those professors who we speak, we have spoken to say that they were not involved in the burning of the station.

and but it was the police themselves who said the station on, on fire to lay the blame on protesters. now this is the 3rd day that hudson north is witnessing confrontation between the police and professors. they have been sending the barricades on main roads, many roads. it would been there was an actual neighborhoods, and police have been responding using your guys and live immunization up to late hours over the past 3 days. now, this is our angry following the death. i'll follow a demonstrators another, the 17th to me north, let's not, let's not forget to not is the area that for the most amount of that's on, on november 17th, 10 people being killed with the others being killed here in the city and undermine . now people are mobilizing for more pros, as they're saying that they're going to continue to voice their anger, not just at the military takeover, but the fact that security forces have been using excessive, brutal force to respond to the port that the for a large and have been very peaceful. both ozi rebels and the saudi led coalition

fighting in the m and say they've launched a major military operations. who fees are claiming to have hit bases oil installations and an airport in a number of saudi cities. while a saudi coalition says it has launched attacks on more than a dozen targets in yemen. it will go to my colleague, really are we targeted king college based in re up with for some mud 3 drones. we also share the number of targets within the king abdullah international airport. and we also thought to get to that i'm could refineries and get done with other for some to drones. we also this through the critical military installation at a behind their national airport using once a month, 3 drone or other military targets were sheldon of hi jayson and john using 5 costs of 2 k drones. the total number of drones used in the operation amounted to 14. the many armed forces reiterate their capacity to carry out further offensive against both the saudi and the enemies within the limits of our local rights to defend our

people and homeland ram and our hon. donnie as a research for the yemen policy center and art group. he has more on these recent claims. we've been seeing a lot of escalation on the ground and a lot of frontline changing in yemen. that basically has led to an intensification of airstrikes on to the capital city of santa and as well. and if occasion of fighting along areas where there shouldn't have been. recently, there has been basically violations of a united nations, a agreement to basically allow the city for city of up to date on which they are in the western coast. we have an essentially leave that port city alone and allow it to be an access for all foods and goods into yemen. however, recently there have been shifts over those positions and the who these are now fighting western coast, the west coast forces that are supported by the united arab emirates. as such, this has basically allowed the kingdom sarabia to help us aspire forces to back

these battles over there, but nothing there so significant is going to change the who the position in the north. and i think the so significant that's going to change the conflict. i think, i think there are very, very many requests that are coming out now that's how the baby does not want to continue its investment in the conflict in yemen, but rather move its investment towards is protecting its borders. and so, the more the hulu is, should drones or actually even claim, even though they may not have been attacking all these drones. it sounds good for them because it makes sarabia look a little weaker and it makes them look like they're in charge of the battle. a such a sad irradiance cannot be quiet when all these drone attacks continue to hit the civilian and non civilian infrastructure and sad to ravia. and so the star straits have done very little in the past to curtail the whole the spread. and i don't think they're going to do much to do so today. watching al jazeera ly from london still had for you on the program opposition parties returned to the polls in venezuela. after 4 years of boy scouts. and the white house adds to international calls, the chinese explain where missing tennis by
