Coronavirus on the canvas 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 came to has city does not want to return to power and now the question is how will the country be governed and still any of action can be held now that is something west african envoys and bodies 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 pursue. We normalized say for the question of whos going to run the country the answer was supposed to but did not come out of talks between envoys of whats known as ecowas 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. In. Order to. Go to what it 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 soon or. Decision 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 groups. One key Political Group opposition protesters known as m 5 which likes what it sees in the military. Muscle jordi of the 1000000 people we support the Armed Security forces and there is no need to rush in the shops and byways of bomb a cold a range of sentiment. In the civil rule has left the too long in this country we need to turn to the military rule now because with them there is no mercy no nonsense. 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 do. Ocracy alis neighbors favor such a transition but they left bamako with no promises and no deal. Ok im now joined by the hes a political analyst economist and an expert on money he is also the founder of what thats a think tank based in west africa welcome to the demis africa shell why all the negotiating parties failing to agree on who will rule mali in the transition period. Well its a pleasure to be with you i think that the only issue is not very turn to civilian rule i think it is very important to recall that mali its not a country in a normal situation it has been a deep crisis for its years now so i think it is actually quite positive not to have a quick deal because i think that this rubbish and should be used as an opportunity to solve the problem the structure up around the country and not just as a way to break in right focus on your own elections hell how long a transition period do you think the country needs and what needs to be done in that time you are leading to structural problems. Yes i think that we should start with what is what is needed what should be there are gender over transition and given by gender then we can get back to what kind of federation will try this im sure last and not be opposite so my view is that of a country has to restore security because in theory as to and at a political reform so that elections actually mean something for the country and i dont think that these are to be this can be dawn in 9 months or a new year i think probably something iran 2 years would be a good period to be able to try to launch. A kind of political new tragic to read that the country need chill where is the countrys opposition in all of this and and is the oppositions position reflexive off of the will of the people. They got 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 gave up 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 their position correlation to keep unity but again i think what is important now is to recognize that mali has both to work on restoring a kind of the state and work on restoring democratic system i dont think that that to object these are the same and i think that to a victim by importance of a country until there is of course the jihadist race at the end and also sort of into its make of violence in the country between communities that they dont want to feel unease for example as if this comes back to the jihadists right abcam we assume that in this time that there is uncertainty that if you had some gaining ground. Ideas possible in 2012 it was a military coup which actually aggravated the sick with your presence in the country so thats why i did so important to make sure that very discussion that lead to a new one for the tional 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 overture 3 stealing a very difficult to create a situation of individual ition to work toward restoring security and the same time to advocate of course to call an institutional reform that ive been ive been talking about all right thats really at the as a visual thank you so much for legal insight on that story in mali way of course negotiations continue over who will rule the country in the next thank you one thing.

So yeah i mean if you locally grown up or to turn to your norse whatever the hell do you even more than you dont know. Michael sallah is inspired by his fellow kenyans inspired to 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 bring curfew and on sex workers who have no choice but to keep on working.

But so his criticisms havent spared african governments either hes been especially searing about their response to the corona crisis one thing this corporate thing has done enough weve got it out is how its completely exposed the deficiencies that exist in africa when it comes to health care where you have countries like south sudan the top of for a Vice President and the 4 ventilators in the whole of the country when those are issues you have their priorities out.

Good guy to specialise in germany. Recognizing where exactly. Are your most current culture history and their. Travel extremely worth a visit. 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. We visit the historic city of vine mom the cradle of german classicism and of modernism to see how its past present and future coexist for creatives today. And an exhibition in hollow shows how french when people done 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. Ships sail backwards across the sea and bullets or such back into guns as if by magic catching. Nolans new work plays with the physics of time reversal of the threat. To. Convert the hero played it i John David Washington learns how it all works from a secret. It will 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 the founding. Trying to prevent world war 3 Christopher Nolan has realised a long held dream to make a spy thriller in the double 07 bold but his take mixes in Science Fiction elements its classy action cinema but will it lure audiences back into the cinemas after the corona induced break. Will it indeed a lot riding on this film for a certain age and kennedy is here to talk to me about it and 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 men so was his 1st slightly bigger budget film cost 9000000. 00 he took in almost 40000000. 00 it started his reputation and his trademark use of multiple timelines 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 this new film tenet is perhaps a store wanting 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 scene plots which is also a running gang in the movie people asking urging us to keep up asking whether our heads and in the end finally urging dont try to understand it just feed it maybe not know best film. It could be just the kind of a scrape is sed nonstudents that you audiences want new 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 whats your 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 shed jewel for november release and another one weve been waiting for since manny is black widow black widow for Marvel Studios starring Scarlett Johnson johansson. Also jury in november but dont hold your breath waiting say your head wear on movies theres some value not a news thats creating a bit of a stir really fat really quickly tell us what it is the belly International Film festival is announce that the will no longer be gender specific best.

Well how serious they. Were a well known university in our town and. When i came here just i was looking for the university where is the university.

Music people who are very quickly musicians. And go people who can communicate musically when we are very far from understanding each other.
