Senegalese troops have been seen moving towards the Gambian border in an apparent show of force to pressure President Yahya Jammeh to stand down.

Wednesday was meant to be his last day in office after his defeat by Adama Barrow but parliament has granted him three more months in office.
That move effectively stops Mr Barrow being sworn in on Thursday.

West African countries are seeking UN backing to intervene militarily to eject Mr Jammeh, who has ruled The Gambia since taking power in a bloodless coup in 1994.

Meanwhile, thousands of UK and Dutch tourists are being evacuated from the tiny West African state, which is popular with European holidaymakers because of its beaches.
