African leaders criticise West for climate summit snub

Rich countries have come under fire from African leaders for skipping a climate change summit in the Netherlands.

The Dutch host, Prime Minister Mark Rutte, was the only Western leader to make an appearance in person.

The president of Senegal, Macky Sall, expressed his resentment at the major polluters in the world for not providing financial support for Africa's adaptation to climate change.
