We do not know if this is the first step they will take but what we understand is that there will be looking at the situation, there will also consider a lot of other factors that will come into play, or are already a play make a decisive decision on the situation. One thing, though, that ecowas leaders might be careful about is this time around, making a decision that may not alienate the people of niger and possibly push the country, the leadership, the Military Leadership, into the kind of new alliance with countries like russia. � ,.

People are voting in the Central African republic in a referendum on a new constitution that would allow president Faustin Archange touadera to seek a third term in office.

Here in the uk, the prime minister, rishi sunak, has ordered the Department For Transport to review existing so called low traffic Neighbourhood Schemes which seek to reduce the numbers of cars using streets in some residential areas. Mr sunak told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper he wanted to show drivers that he was on their side. Here s our political correspondent, damian grammaticas. . Low traffic neighbourhoods, loved by some, loathed by others. They use barriers, bollards and Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras to control or limit access to some streets. Theyve been set up in recent years in london, bristol, birmingham, bournemouth and more cities with tens of millions of pounds of government funding. The aim to keep through traffic away from residential streets, lower average speeds, improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions. In some places, tempers have flared between drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. At least one Opinion Survey commissioned by the government has shown broad support in areas where theyve been put in place, but some motorists and businesses are opposed. Earlier this month, the Transport Secretary said he was halting funding for any new schemes in england. Now rishi sunak has ordered a review into how existing ones are working. Mr sunak told the Sunday Telegraph. The vast majority of people in the country use their cars to get around and are dependent on their cars, adding, i just want to make sure people know that im on their side in supporting them to use their cars. It comes after mr sunak� s conservatives retained the parliamentary seat of uxbridge and South Ruislip in west london on the back of a campaign focused on opposition to the expansion of londons ulez Charging Zone for older polluting vehicles. The labour mayor of london, sadiq khan, is pressing ahead with that after a legal challenge brought by some conservative councils failed this week. He says its important to clean up londons air and tackle the climate crisis. Hes promised to look at new ideas to help people meet the costs. After uxbridge, rishi sunak appears to have identified car owners as a target for conservative policies. But its not clear what effect his review of low Traffic Schemes will have. Government sources could not say whether local councils could be forced to remove any already in place. Damian grammaticas, bbc news.
