Senegalese Army Cross Border Into The Gambia

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Senegalese Army Cross Border Into The Gambia

The Gambia's neighbours are placing military pressure on the West-African nation.

The Nigerian Air Force say its planes have been flying over Banjul, The Gambia's capital.

The Gambia's political crisis deepens. Soldiers from neighbouring west African states have crossed the country's borders. New President Adama Barrow is sworn into office in Sengal, thousands flee the nation as the deadlock over disputed elections intensifies. Meanwhile, Britain's prime minister tells the global elites gathered at Davos they need to be a bit less elite. But will they listen? We talk to Tom Keene, editor-at-large at Bloomberg News, and Katie Martin, deputy head of FastFT, an online news service from the Financial Times.
