Mali's coup leader Assimi Goïta declares himself president

Mali's former junta leader Col Assimi Goïta has declared himself the country's transitional president.

He made the announcement after stripping interim President Bah Ndaw and PM Moctar Ouane of their powers.

The two ousted leaders were freed from military detention, where they had been held since Monday in what was seen as Mali's second coup in nine months.

The seizure of power came after a cabinet reshuffle which Col Goïta complained he was not consulted about.
