US President Joe Biden has announced billions of dollars in support and investment for Africa at a summit with the continent’s heads of state.

Mr Biden spoke to 49 African leaders who attended the Washington DC meeting.

It is the first such gathering hosted by Washington for eight years.

The summit is seen as a US attempt to re-assert its influence in Africa to counter Chinese involvement.
