Summary

In tonight's programme: Mali's junta leader Assimi Goïta appoints himself defence minister after the killing of his predecessor in a wave of attacks. Also, about 150 people are still stranded in isolation on a ship off Cape Verde's coast. Plus with the 2026 Venice Biennale fast approaching, Senegal is turning gold into a powerful artistic statement. We speak to astrophysicist and artist Caroline Gueye.
