It does it does and i want to say that i think if you look at you know africa you know the countries in africa or Different Levels of is usually is in Traditional Medicine in you know in India Health Systems so far africa has done a lot we have developed at a point easy for indigenous newly systems weve put a bridge relations in terms of Traditional Medicines we have set up a study actually traditional Health Practitioners council that is going to be looking at you know the practice of Traditional Medicine we in fact also have now started we have our medicines regulator with auriti to set up in working group to look at abilities creation processes and bringing into the formal markets you know proprietary traditionalism of african region so south africa is doing a lot and we have established the consortium we thin the department of science and innovation into the recession the development of Traditional Medicines and that consortium comprises of traditional healer organizations right comprises of unity it comprises of Science Councils collectively i think thats also where we have looked at how best can traditional in the road in the fight against it and working with traditional healers we prioritised to some treatments and prioritise some plans that we feel could infect to bring things relief ok could be of use of the fight against cough it a professor add a few seconds left with you and i just want to talk here about or have you talk to us about what youre doing and terms of the deputy perspective that panel of experts that you sit on are we going to save money going into research and development for some of these apps things youre talking about from a w h o perspective. Yeah but remember that literally just gives guidelines and it is also the Member States that then implemented on those guidelines and they cannot adapt in a doc to those guidelines so what were looking at double a choice is really to say what would be the minimum you know preclinical where could that we should definitely recommend for countries to move into Clinical Trials or you know pov it how could we help regulate early with or e. T. S. You know in the countries to expedite the Clinical Trials you know to get out through the line in those Clinical Trials weve traditionally healers you know approval of those Clinical Trials and lastly how then do we help they think medicine the regulator thought it right also find ways of religious studying Traditional Medicines you know that out with the recession have actually shown to be. Fantastic professor thank you so much thats all we have time for thats professor. Thank you so much sir thank you for having me thank you so much. At the weekend sudans Transitional Government and several rebel groups signed a historic Peace Agreement in the south sudanese capital juba the deal covers several thorny issues from Land Ownership to compensation and power sharing hundreds of thousands of people have died and millions displaced in decades of different conflicts across the done enthusing the region off to for now though the peace deal mocks an important step for the country observers say the road ahead could still prove to be a bumpy 12. 00 of the main rebel groups have refused to sign the deal. The mood was upbeat and for sudan finally a positive moment. The hope is that the peace deal will bring an end to decades of strife within the country. After the overthrow Omar Al Bashir a top priority for the new power sharing government has been to end the countrys many conflicts including the long running war in the for more than 300000. 00 people have been killed there. For the better work of fellow countrymen this is a great day in the history of sudan we are complex main goals and ambitions in our grand revolution and it demands and that is peace the peace that has cost the boys and girls of sudan their lives their blood in order to accomplish this. One human. The a cold will integrate many of the rebel groups interested and Security Forces and also give them political representations more than 700000000. 00 will be spent on rebuilding the water on regions including areas like the 4 where scarce resources for years have created conflict between ethnic minority farmers and arab heard is the deal will also help we turn thousands of people who flip the conflicts and importantly secure the rights to their land. But. The agreement we have reached today addresses the issues of the stakeholders the displaced people refugees and the victims in all parts of sudan especially in darfur and i salute all our people in sudan and those in the countryside. But there are still concerns about the implementation of the deal is specially when 2 of the main rebel groups have refused to sign the deal and tensions remain high in sudan because of the growing Economic Hardship the recent devastating floods have put a further 1000000 people on the verge of hunger all these factors could prove to make it difficult for the government to create lasting peace but theres no doubt that this agreement is an important step in the right direction.

Movie theaters fear for their survival after hollywood once again postpones the new james bond movie no time to die that story coming up and. Sweet revenge the once overlooked painter arts music gentle leskie gets her dues with a revolutionary new exhibition. And later on 22 photographers reflect on the idea of home across borders. Welcomes arts and culture streaming Services Like netflix are thriving during the pandemic but a lot of movie theaters are scared they wont survive the situation got worse this weekend when m. G. M. And universal an ounce the new james bond movie will not come out this year as planned. If we dont do this. There will be nothing left to say well thats exactly what a lot of cinemas are saying they say without blockbusters like the new double has that been no time to die its just too hard to fill the seats for this in a World Company the 2nd biggest cinema chain in the world announced monday its temporarily closing hundreds of locations in the u. K. And the u. S. For 2 months at the least now ive got to w. s film correspondent scott roxboro on the line scott the new bond film was supposed to be out last april now its set for april 2021 studios obviously think theyre going to make more money then but if they dont release these big movies will there still be any cinemas left. Yeah i think thats the big question i mean its become almost a chicken and egg issue people are going to the cinemas in places where theyre open because theyre not enough new movies out in the studios are putting their movies into theaters because not enough people are coming to see them and so someone has to move 1st and at the moment the studios are Still Holding back their vegas. Betting that in a few months time it will have a vaccine maybe the situation around. It will have changed people come back to theaters in strength but the real issue now as were seeing with the cinema world situation is that in a few months time maybe theaters will exist in the same way a lot of theater chains that ive spoken to have said they can hold out for a couple more months but if by the end of the year the situation hasnt got much better we havent got more big movies its got there are a few big movie is that are coming out this year do they know something that the james bond people dont know. Well i think its just a matter of rest and whos willing to take risk and how much people believe even in the cinema i mean can it is that theyve done of course for an old film that isnt theatres and its done ok its made Something Like 300000000. 00 worldwide most of it outside the us which is unusual for a film like that the new films from the big studios are also going to be coming out of wonder woman the new wonder woman wonder woman nike core is going to be still scheduled to come out at the end of the year and a lot of theaters around the world are really hoping the film will bring people back to theaters the studios that are doing putting out their big films and taking that risk or betting that they will have as much competition because there are a few fewer other big movies available so that their films will sort of pick up all the audience that is there even if its less than it would be in sort precode it times i also think at this moment there is maybe a chance for smaller movies use some independent films some sort of local language films and certain territories in france and in korea are doing very very well because theyre not competing with the big hollywood tentacles but even given that these big movies the bond movies the big display movies that is sort of what drives the entire Industry Worldwide and theater owners know around the world they need these movies in order to survive if the studios dont bring them out of the situation we bury precarious ok just briefly what do you think is the prognosis what do you think the situation is going to be like for movies for movie theaters lets say a year from now. If i do i mean its depend so much on what the situation with the virus is if things get better and if it is safe to go back to theaters i think youll see seals very quickly bring these movies back out again big movies like say 98 and the period film which is scheduled for next year and a whole lot of other movies and then maybe well have an over abundance of movies almost like a lot of films and will be wondering can we even see this many movies and you know you know we can thats the best Case Scenario the worst Case Scenario is that the change will start to close around the world and well have a very dangerous situation the whole industry could really collapse right thank you so much scar roxboro for coming on the show we cant wait to see where this thing goes.
