Infectious disease expert makes a plea particularly to young people as an action surgeon several states. Mexico citys police chief is wounded in an assassination attempt hes blaming on a powerful drug cartel. And lebanese protesters hold a symbolic funeral for the economy and country they fear cannot be seized. The leaders of egypt and sudan say ethiopia has agreed to not start filling its new mega dam without the 3 countries reaching an agreement on it of been unable to resolve the increasingly bitter dispute fear years if europe is built the renaissance dam on the blue nile which is the source of most of the river gnarls water egypt and sudan downstream depend heavily on its unfair their Water Supplies will be put at risk if your obvious says the hydro power the dam will produce is essential to its economic growth. There is have a morgan in sudans capital khartoum says this still much to result it took a meeting between the Prime Ministers of sudan egypt as well as other members of the African Union including you correct chair of the African Union south african president. To try to bring the 3 sides together after several rounds of talks. For you know what the what the statement that was released by the Prime Minister of the office of the Prime Minister of the im told is that the 3 sites that they will resume talks immediately on a technical level weve repeatedly heard statements from the site saying that 95 percent of the issues have been resolved and that theres only remaining 5 percent as well as the legal aspects so remarkable though is Senior Advisor at the sentry and International Investigative and policy team he joins us now from west orange new jersey thanks for your time our correspondent there says so obviously this doesnt mean that its all a done deal but how significant a development is this ethiopia announcing that it wont fill the reservoir before a deal is done. This is a significant happening and i believe that its a display of the fan of the policy of International Community to leave to leave an organizations their leader on a list of meeting the. Problems and in the case of africa this is that are going to union this is a meeting that was committed by the president of the African Union. Force and attended by this countrys Prime Minister 100 as your Company Solution president as well as other members of the commission who are in the leadership of the commission and therefore it is sure that africa is willing to dig this role of resolving problems in trying to do what is it that you think actually sparked that the change of heart to ethiopia up until just a few days ago if there of it was saying look were going to start filling this dam whether you like it or not well it probably made it tense moment because of the same time this was a really you know increasing tensions in the region it seemed to be suggesting that it could be resolved to any solution since the it was to them these other a matter of life or death for the you shouldnt people on the country and their followers are down and what are those intervening to musically come of this but its a little bit down and find workable solution if youre korea is under a lot of pressure to really of lloyd unilateral solutions the are in agreement that went to 5 percent of your cost 1. 00 last cent of the problems are sorted out in every unit which efficient and therefore its only the issue of filling up the dam over the length of time that is needed so that the floor for there is going to sleep and during that period. If the other wants to start filling the reservoir in the rainy season july 1 of the talents is of that actually happening. I dont expect that to happen and i dont expect that we with all the spotlight that if you are to start feeling that damn well despite the lack of agreement and therefore there will be a focus in the ferry systems on reaching this Technical Agreement a legal agreement the usual this is a more extended period than what the issue of guns want and i believe there will be some course in a consensus between the 2 countries in this sudan would want lucians is amicable between is to the neighbors if youre an idiot sudan stands to gain a lot from that really meant it or stands to be the fairest fuel or if these 2 countries want to look ahead its the issue just finally you mentioned there are 95 percent of the disagreements have been sorted out 5 percent remains is there any agreement on the technical aspects they are going to be legally binding well thats the whole. Purpose of this looting of their African Union and the you know the requests of the parties not to proceed through any unilateral steps without they are not like apartheid agreement among them was strictly binding for all of them and therefore a thing that dogma to be binding because it would have the blessing more so theyre going to union and the United Nations Security Council not only extension and the future would be bound to abuse except halt that commitment thanks so much for your time explaining it all the silly man balderas Senior Advisor at the sentry so many.
