Ghana police deploy ahead of second day of protests

Police in riot gear in Ghana's capital, Accra, are gathering at the El-Wak sports stadium ahead of a second day of planned protests over the rising cost of living.

The stadium is about 1.5km (0.9 miles) from the president's office, Jubilee House.

The protesters from the Arise Ghana group may try to march from the stadium to the office - but that route has been banned by the authorities.

If the demonstrators defy the ban then there may be a second day of clashes.

On Tuesday, 29 people were arrested after a largely peaceful protest descended into chaos when police and protesters clashed.
