Ethiopia's Tigray region conflict: US appeals for ceasefire

Newsday

Available for over a year

We have reaction to President Biden's appeal for a ceasefire in Ethiopia's Tigray region, as the US steps up pressure to end the conflict there. Thousands of people have been killed and many more displaced since the conflict began six months ago. We go to Nigeria for the latest on rescue efforts following a boat accident on the Niger river. A hundred and sixty people were onboard. What's the Bite Club? We speak to its founder.
