Biden urges Israel to protect Rafah civilians

US President Joe Biden has again urged Israel not to carry out a big assault on Rafah in southern Gaza without ensuring the safety of more than 1 million civilians sheltering there - we hear from a surgeon operating in a hospital in the city.

Meanwhile, former US president Donald Trump seeks the help of the Supreme Court to pause the case into his role in the attack on Congress in 2020.

And we go to Senegal where the presidential election scheduled for February has been postponed until December - sparking huge outrage and protests.
