Coronavirus on the canvas well see how the pandemic has inspired the latest paintings of kenyas michael soule. To see when to welcome to news africa its good to have your company it is exactly a week since a coup in mali and the future of the country is on the former president abraham has said he does not want to return to power and now the question is how will the country be covered and until any of action can be held now that is something west african envoys and mollies new military rule is couldnt agree on during talks that ended on monday ill be talking to an analyst about what the Sticking Point saw after this report. From the streets of the capital bamako has seemingly normal i say for the question of whos going to run the country the answer was supposed to but did not come out of talks between convoys of whats known as the west african bloc of countries and the mali military ecowas leaders have already decided to close the borders to landlocked. Mali and have threatened to impose sanctions against the coup leaders if they do not get what they want. With what i said. And what they did is they did but. On that point of including the mali and people there is agreement with military leaders though the coup last week the ousting of a democratically elected president was a military coup and those same leaders say as many as 3 years are needed before new elections mollies democratic neighbors say elections must happen sooner. Such decisions all the decisions regarding the duration of the transition period the president of the transition the formation of the government will be made amongst mali and with the Political Parties of the social Political Groups. One key Political Group opposition protesters known as m 5 which likes what it sees in the military. Mr george he of the 1000000 people we support the Armed Security forces and theres no need to rush in the shops and buy ways of bamako a range of sentiment the method of the civil rule has lasted too long in this country we need to turn to the military rule now because with no mercy no nonsense and oh yeah people are afraid of military power they just have to clean up the country sweep away all the bad people but they must not take power and refuse to give it to civilians. Many wouldnt mind the military Holding Power beyond its self professed mandate they have trust in a smooth transition to democracy always neighbors favor such a transition but they left bhaumik 0 with no promises and no deal. Ok im now joined by hes a political analyst economist and an expert on mali he is also the founder of all watch see thats a think tank based in west africa welcome to africa why all the negotiating parties fading to agree on who will rule mali in the transition period. Well its a pleasure to be with you i think the. Only issue is not very turn to civilian rule i think it is very important to recall that molly not the country in a normal situation it has been depresses for 8 years now so i think it is actually quite positive not to have a quick deal because i think that this resolution should be used as an opportunity to solve problems a structural problem of the country and not just as a way to break in right focus on your own election jill how long a transition period do you think the country needs and what needs to be done in that time you were alluding to structural problems. Yes i think that we should start with what is what is needed what should be goddammed of a transition and given that then we can deduct what kind of federation the transition sure last and not the opposite so my view is that the country has to restore security because as to and i think political reform so that elections actually mean something of a country and i dont think that these as to be this can be daunting 9 months so in the year i think probably something around 2 years would be a good period to be able to try to launch. The kind of political new trajectory that the country needs still where is the countrys opposition at in all of this sense and is the oppositions position reflexive off of the will of the people. They were going to talk about one position where was the correlation of opposition politicians and Civil Society movement which was actually behind their 1st demand for the additional form represented bramber gaita their political objective was actually met by the military coup which. Forced the prison to get out to leave power but now i think it would be difficult for the Opposition Coalition to keep unity but again i think what is important now is to recognize that mali has a book to work on restoring a kind of the state and work on restoring democratic system i dont think that bit too object these are the same and i think that too addicted by importing from the country until there is of course the jihadist rates at in mali and then also sort of into it to make a violence in the country between communities that they dont want to feel uneasy for example but just this come back to the jihadists right abcam we assume that in this time that there is uncertainty that the jihadism gaining ground. Is possible in 2012 it was a military coup which actually aggravated the signature crevice in becan trees so thats why did so important to make sure that very discussion that lead to a new Transitional Government and transitional is to do things and so that the military can keep on a under security of a country and again with mali is a country at war so want to further over territory filling a very difficult to create a situation i think that the tradition to work toward restoring security and the same time work toward the kind of course to call an institutional reform that ive been ive been talking about all right thats hilliard the as a visual thank you so much for legal insight on that story in mali we of course negotiations continue over who will rule the country in the next thank you jill. As the coronavirus pandemic drive south africas economy further into downton one environmental project on the countrys Southern Coast has become an unlikely lifeline for those struggling to make ends meet conservationists working to tackle an exodus of caught fish in a pool and fly lake on the isle donating the unwanted fish to local residents.

Tourism stopped abruptly cheering virus restrictions leaving many here without some income now its official. For the total to get food and money. So what they do but we are thankful for the. Gift of the give is a south african humanitarian group where every conservation official is an expert is to check the be oily fish safety. The group then packages and hands out the fish to residents you know we get a lot of study and i would before we actually got to the point of where we are today and the fish itself yes needless to say its all good very good for human consumption the the locals actually love it the handouts of a some help to a few people during an extremely difficult time south africas economy will shrink by over 7 percent this year because of cave 19 the worst outlook in 90 years. Its to kenya now which has seen a dramatic disruption from the coronavirus to that in our next report follows one of the countrys best known artists Michael Sawyer hes wrong used his paintings to cost a critical eye on Kenyan Society and the wool beyond now hes using pandemic to highlight inequality and injustice this is a. Theres an ongoing quote over this one of. The boat. Men are putting on their muscles. So yeah i mean if you local going to put your turn there you are norse whatever the hell do you have them both of you dont you know. Michael sallah is inspired by his fellow kenyans inspired outrage known for his critical stance the coronavirus is giving him plenty of material for instance the brutality of the Police Crackdown on people who break her feet. And on sex workers who have no choice but to keep on working. This is a. It. Is a very common kind of like you know theme in my arc you know as your typical strip club scene since we know the issue of court on on that kind of thing you know thats where you see them but people still dont care you know before the pandemic so i took on the subject of chinese influence in africa he portrayed china as the future leader of the african union. But so his criticisms havent spared african governments either hes been especially searing about their response to the corona crisis one thing that thing has done in africa is that is has completely exposed the deficiencies that exist in africa when it comes to health care where you have countries like south sudan of for a Vice President and the 4 ventilators in the whole of the country when theres an issue do have their priorities out his latest work is entitled say their names about africanamericans who have been killed by police violence. And that is it for now be sure to check out the stories on deeds of you dot com forward slash africa were also on facebook and on twitter today well leave you with some more pitches from kenya raising awareness on over 1000 issues space a fact that. Every day. For us and for our planet. The idea is on its way to bring you more conservation. How do we make cities screamer how can we protect animals and their habitats what to do with the waste. We can make a difference by choosing room for station over de forest recycling over disposable Smart New Solutions are still sitting on. Earth is truly unique and we know that their uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive. Why do you assume the environmental soon to global 3000 on t. W. And on. The phone. In a summer devoid of blockbusters its perhaps the most hotly awaited film Christopher Nolans tenet finally hitting the big screen after repeated delays with dizzyingly high stakes well talk about whether it makes the grade and also look at these stories. Revisit the historic city of weimar cradle of german classicism and of modernism to see how its past present and future coexist for creatives today. And an exhibition in harlow shows how french women revolutionized fashion of photography by combining the commercial and the surreal. Welcome to the show well dont try to understand it feel it says the scientists to the protagonist of Christopher Nolans new film and thats perhaps the best way to approach it as tenets palindromic title implies nothing is linear in the story its quite typical of the director who gave us films like memento or interstellar instead time is inverted car chases go in reverse and we follow the protagonist on an action packed tour of tallinn mumbai all slow and more as he attempts to save the human race its very big cinema indeed. The main character in tenet is an anonymous agent who has to prevent a catastrophe threatening mankind hasnt happened yet thats all the orientation cinema goers get. Director Christopher Nolan is the master of multiple time frames and this is another artistically ambitious and action packed epic things that seem to be unwinding can suddenly reverse. Ship sailed backwards across the sea and bullets are such back into guns as if by magic theyre catching. Nolans new work plays with the physics of time reversal of the threat. And bars the hero played by John David Washington learns how it all works from a secret organization. To open the right door and that a megalomaniac Russian Oligarch wants to use the concept to destroy the world the plot could be right out of a james bond movie. Trying to come to world war 3 Christopher Nolan has realised a long held dream to make a spy thriller in the double 07 bold but his take makes is in Science Fiction elements its classy action cinema but will it lure audiences back into the cinemas after the corona induced break. Willetts indeed a lot riding on this film for certain and Adrian Kennedy is here to talk to me about it whats the verdict is this film going to bring people back into the cinema it could should really because Christopher Nolan is a master filmmaker with free blockbusters under his belt he 1st came to our attention in the year 2000 momentous i was his 1st slightly bigger budget film cost 9000000. 00 almost force. 1000000. 00 stablished his reputation and his trademark use of multiple timeline his most recent movie was a bit of a departure but it posted 3 timelines and became the most successful 2nd world war drama ever done kirk took a massive heart of a 1000000000 at the box office but nolans mission to save save the cinema with his new film tenets is perhaps as daunting as its heroes attempt to save the world the film has got mixed reviews good for the cinematography and the action but slightly less good for the perfect plots which is also a running gag in the movie people who are asking urging us to keep up asking whether our heads and in the end finally urging dont try to understand it just feel it maybe not know best film but it could be just the kind of a scapegoat nonstudents that the audiences want now look right now now for many people obviously a huge relief to have a big hollywood film opening after such a long drought is there more to come lets take it depends a little bit on how tenet does and also on current virus measures whether they ease further but the big can do this for most eagerly and spread to films of the year of course the new bond movie weve been waiting since april for thats one. Its of course. The last outing for daniel craig its now shadowed for november release and another one weve been waiting for since my is black widow black widow from Marvel Studios starring scarlett johnson. In november but dont hold your breath waiting say your hair wear on movies theres some value not a news thats creating a bit of a stir really fat really quickly tell us what is the best. International Film Festival has announced that the will no longer be gender specific best. For best actor and best actress though would be prizes for best lead performance and best supporting performance this is a move that they say is a signal for more gender sensitive awareness interesting to do it that way and lets hope that they can make that festival happen indeed in 2021 thanks for those insights into an kennedy.
