and living with the times we'll take you to the costume that's taking a different approach to learning. now take a closer look at this lady conservationists think she might be the last free roaming elephant in south africa's denies the forest. hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along the african union has given the need as off south sudan one last chance to form a government the country has been locked in conflicts since 2013 with president salva kiir fi it is then vice president riek machar he accused him of crossing a coup the situation is that in 2016 when fighting again erupted between forces and loyal to the 2 men sudan stepped in and mediate said best if these deals signed in september 28th and has never been implemented and last week the 2 men failed to

meet a deadline to form a unity government in the last 5 years of conflict nearly 4 100000 people have been killed more than 4000000 have fled its the country and others have been displaced within south sudan. it's not much but at least it's safe the town of tambura has welcomed nearly $200.00 displaced families this year. angelina witnessed horror in her home village but here she has found room for hope . that kind of a village was destroyed. and some of her relatives and all the elders were killed and some praying to god that peace will be implemented for country than. since independence from sudan 80 years ago the people of south sudan have hardly seen peace millions have ended up in refugee camps because of fighting between

government forces and rebel groups. these are the man who can help bring peace president salva kiir in the hat and rebel leader rick machar the peace deal they signed is supposed to unite their fighters longtime enemies into one army but a lack of funds has delayed that plan as they also postpone forming a joint government. i know they're not give you. good help. you are suffering. something that. we tried. to. interview to be. war has kept development away so south sudan depends on the outside world international partners keep sending aid but they remain doubtful

about the political will amongst this nation's leaders until that commitment is evident south sudan's road to recovery remains rough davies told me a lot of bull has done extensive reporting on celts of duns conflict he's also specializing in security issues across the continent good to see you told me so why can't solve the kit and rakish are implement the peace deal that they have side which of the 2 of these gentlemen is causing the problem. well at the moment neither wants to be blamed for the delay 1st of all blaming money they're saying they don't have enough funds to put together this government and to put together the army that's supposed to integrate both their forces. as i said in the piece south sudan because of all its troubles it has not been able to raise enough revenue from its oil because a lot of the oil production has had to stop and so it's relying a lot on aid from the outside went but even that i mean the world right now there's

so many other issues around every country is having its own troubles they can't just be throwing money at south sudan and south sudan's has had these problems of funding to a point where the elections last year which is supposed to hold in 2018 were postponed to 2021 and then i you have this joint coalition government that they're supposed to implement that's not in place but apart from the issue of funding this still others to do with even just the 2 sides agreeing about you know the make up of this unity army they're supposed to form whose forces are going to be where the border lines about who controls what territory. you know right into so there's so much right says that the money is one issue but there are various other issues as you as you correctly point out what do we have to make of the mediation that has been hit by uganda is a must if any because it looks like the u.s. and even the african union is getting annoyed judging by the language we saw when again there was another delay well when this deal was signed 1st of all there was

a lot of skepticism because these 2 men have signed in the past were going back as far as 2013 when they've been signing deals and breaking them and so this deal is signed again and a lot of observers looked and thought you know this is this was not going to hold yet again but if you look at the apart from euro 70 the president uganda and of the regional leaders they've been the ones who've been most involved in trying to bring these 2 men together. and trying to make it look like it's a local sort of regional solution to this problem as opposed to you know the outside world like the u.s. let's talk about the u.s. so they had to top diplomat in washington has basically threatened action he said we will reassess our engagement with juba what does that mean while it's trying to put pressure on these these 2 men to find a deal and get things together because think about it but still 12000000 people who fled from their homes because of the fighting 7000000 what the u.n.

calls severely food insecure which means they cannot feed themselves when they're hungry so it's also done is depending on the outside world and the u.s. and other countries are saying you know we can't just keep our cash flow going you need to find a solution and that's a $1000000000.00 in the case of the u.n. the u.s. right it is right to me a lot of pull african thank you thank you. it's just south africa now and the area outside of cape town then as the cape flats which is often associated with crime and violence we've reported on gang related offenses shoot tiles and the day the fia facing the residents off the cape flats but today we bring you some inspiring news from that very place we've come across 27 year old florence from you then is a teacher at bishop lapis high school who has known as hooked and social media about.

break down the dominance of teacher and if you sit down to listen to the speech i know it will have some sort of the way we take in my listening to. keep an eye is on the little one. through it and then i tried to run through them it's covered the topic and then i go do research on 2 things that all in line with the content and you can spy of them. the song. by. the song the missing boy on. the side of the song is discussed the. big reveal was the sound of my voice in this costume both mean anything woman not.

dumping them and giving. they do face a lot of challenges in their households we talk about poverty we talk but gangsterism and all other social ills within the community but i've seen a different type of child that has been stigmatized for what people simply should lay this as and for and i always tell them i'm more than what i'm being seen. within the society itself is very nice and innovative and supports us a lot and helps us and we are going to difficult times the system that is being bold and silly math and scientists killed the creativity of the children still be there unless a 1000000 is really holding something good sat night dancing in the school. come on come on.

please. please. i was there in the radio one morning and this song came up as on your 1st of being from a boy to some buoyancy can be seen with confidence and in the project so the net for. this can actually be. quite a powerful thing to inspire. the lebanese army will break my wrist and posted it on the face with the video to be viral i think the most thing that i like about my job is the fact that i can influence someone positively i know what these children are going through i'm not immune to the challenges and i feel somehow i can contribute to a positive change you know. now

we're staying in south africa because research is there believe that this event you see behind me is unique or they think it could be they think it's the last elephant in the region that's not contained in a national poll or game reserve it's been tracked down in south africa is now in a forest the forest with its $60500.00 hectic is the largest forest complex in southern africa. oh very rare sight this speech and fans might be the only one left of its kind in this 1000 k. . these images were captured by special cameras set up by researchers. over the course of of 15 months with i think cameras we had a span across the elephant range we saw this in a fish and the same indifferent cow of the thing by itself about a 114 different times times and dates so our our our conclusion was

that it very unfortunately seems like there's anyone if and live. in the 19th century that used to be hundreds of free roaming elephants in the nonstop forest but years of logging hunting and culling have brought the numbers down authorities consider introducing more elephants into the end fenced area. bringing in a small call bringing in 10 elephant being in a small herd those all come with risks and benefits as well and one of those we will continue to do that is spend the night as it's worth as well as going through a broader stakeholder process of what the public feel about their view about having as their friends and their in their backyard. how they lose a female known as the maid chalk walks alone along the tough stroll down by the feet of the ones who have gone before her back when they still are the forests.
