jubilation in. sudan's government and rebels have signed a landmark peace deal it's a dead end in decades off war in the country. christine window it's good to have your company. traditional healers in south africa are demanding recognition from the government for their work during the coronavirus and herbalists say their methods should be considered in the search for a covert 19th. in south africa as it is of the rest of the continent traditional healers often the 1st and last line of defense against illnesses or people who are marginalized and cannot access conventional medicine in fact the w.h.o. is to me it's that as many as 80 percent of people in africa consults traditional

he's talking to an expert after this report. and help on this have taken to the streets government's attention. they want to be recognized as frontline with cameras in the fight against health. they want the government to lend them financial and technical support to them to join in the search box and. the traditional route but opted. to devote attention to the patients some with suspected symptoms of. my lai. that. best case it might be. dozens of patients some with suspected of the 1000 symptoms have gone through has suggested. it is only with government help with training and testing and that they

can live how to improve their traditional medicine to contribute in the fight against organ did we are yes traditional. politician as we are health practitioners we fall under the health department. that is why i don't understand why can't the government give us the chance. of helping because we can have that. government plan and likely she will hope to carry on with further tests at. trails for their hips to. bond. with. the more they. might to deserve to put is that the who prescribes for most of our patients. even your immune system. in the wrists and headed to a speech president. the support for the initiatives aimed at testing the

effectiveness of the does not medicine on august 19th in this time of the pandemic we have seen the knowledge of traditional medicinal plants increase. in as much as we join the international community in the search for diagnostics and therapeutics and a vaccine we are also looking at rio and important contribution indigenous knowledge systems particularly traditional medicine can play in improving the health outcomes and for people. whose traditional did i say they hope that president obama process positive response. will be followed by steps that will super funds provided and so you do the testing. for more on this i'm joined by professor. metz obviously he's

a pharmacologist at the university of the free state professor masterpiece is also the chairperson of a panel of experts w.h.o. and the african center for disease control to test african herbal remedies welcome to news africa professor more about that a little bit later but it's struggle for with the fact that traditional healers a piece in the case of south africa one should be more included in the fight against coffee at 19 what do you think about that. thank you so much for having me and immediately trinity to talk i think you know when you're on your station indeed i think these are discussions that are on in terms of how to do we think you know recognize an institution. as traditional and healing processes in south africa we have in fact you know looked issue of course together with the traditionally lessons of africa realize that it is a pandemic it is something new and he also acknowledged that not had any priorities

in terms of them treating patients and government so the arrangement that we did was then to see the lead that he cannot for instance claim to cure of it but i do want to be involved in order that and leading in terms of the research in terms of the development the development of therapeutic for full of it and this to profess that perhaps beyond the call of it the statistics ah that in africa there's one doctor for every 40000 people and one traditional healer for every 500 people that's a w.h.o. statistic doesn't that make a case then for integrating alternative medicine international health systems. 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 had all 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 a point easy for indigenous militia systems we've put a bridge relations in terms of traditional medicines we have set up a started 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 billy just ration processes and bringing into the formal markets you know proprietary traditional images of 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 unit it comprises of science councils collectively i think that's also where we have looked at how best can traditional in the road in the fight against it and working with

traditionally he does the prototypes to some treatments and prioritise some plans that we feel couldn't fed to bring i think the relief aid could be of use of the fight against corporate profits that have a few seconds left if you and i just want to talk here about or have you talk to us about what you're doing and terms of the deputy h.-l. perspective that panel of experts that you sit on are we going to save money going into research and development for some of these at things you're 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 in the cannot dept in a dog to do is going so what we're looking at doubly true is really to say what would be the minimum you know preclinical where we should definitely recommend for countries to move into clinical trials or not you know covert how could we help really deleted it without e.t.s.

you know in the countries to expedite the clinical trials you know together out to the line in those clinical trials we've traditionally healers you know approval of those clinical and lastly how then do we help they think medicines are they deleted . right also find we already starting traditional medicines you know with researched ok we've actually shown to be. fantastic professor thank you so much that's all we have time for that's professor paul callan thank you so much sir thank you for having me thank you so much. at the weekend sudan's 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 dan including the regional stuff for now though the

peace still marks an important step for the country observers say the road ahead could still prove to be a bumpy 12 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 of omar al bashir a top priority for the new power sharing government has been to end the country's many conflicts including the long running wall in the for more than $300000.00 people have been killed there. and the work of our fellow countrymen this is a great day in the history of sudan we are complex seeing our 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 1. what. the called will integrate many of the rebel groups interested and security forces and also give them political representation 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 them rights to their land. back in the agreement we have reached today addresses the issues of the stakeholders the displaced people refugees and the victims in all parts of sudan specially 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 there's no doubt that this agreement is an important step in the right direction. now once again african run is one big at the london marathon on sunday but in the men's event there was also a big surprise world record holder and force it to from kenya. had been the favorite to win but it was if you should cross the finish line 1st fucking 2 hours 5 minutes and 20 seconds on the women's side kenya's wall record holder. was an

is for me. is for. good is for. beethoven is for. beethoven is for. beethoven 2020. 50th anniversary here on. the. 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 ones overlooked painter are to 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 won't 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 don't do this. there will be nothing left to say well that's exactly what a lot of cinemas are saying base a without blockbusters like the new w 7 no time to die it's just too hard to fill the seats this in a world company the 2nd biggest cinema chain in the world announced monday it's temporarily closing hundreds of locations in the u.k. and the u.s. for 2 months at the least now i've got to w.'s film correspondent scott

roxboro on the line scott the new bond film was supposed to be out last april now it's set for april 2021 studios obviously think they're going to make more money then but if they don't release these big movies will there still be any cinemas left. yeah i think that's the big question i mean it's become almost a chicken and egg issue people are going to the cinema as if that were in place whether open because they're 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 are betting that in a few months time it will have a vaccine maybe the situation around that will have changed people come to the theaters in strength but the real issue now as we're 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 i've spoken to have said they can hold out for

a couple more months but if by the end of the year the situation hasn't got much better we haven't got more big movies out and we'll be able to see that the whole system could collapse and the studios might be trying to at least movies without having theaters to put them in now if there are a few big movie is there are coming out this year do they know something that the james bond people don't know. well i think it's just a matter of rest and who's willing to take risk and how much people believe even in the senate i mean can it is that big dumb of course just for an old stone that isn't theaters and it's done ok it's made something like $300000000.00 worldwide most of it outside the u.s. which is unusual for a film like that the new films from the big studios that are also going to be coming out of wonder woman the new wonder woman wonder woman i can eat or it's 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 bailable so that their films will sort of take up all the audience that is there even if it's less than it would be in sort pre-code it times i also think at this moment there is maybe a chance for smaller movies you some independent films some sort of local language films and certain territories in france and in korea are doing very very well because they're not competing with the date 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 and if the studios don't bring them out of the situation we're very precarious ok and 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 let's say a year from now. if i do i mean it's 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 you'll see seals very quickly bring these movies back out again big movies like say 90 in the furious film which is scheduled for next year and a whole lot of other movies and then maybe we'll have an over abundance of movies almost like a lot of films and we'll be wondering can we even see this many movies and you know you know we can that's the best case scenario the worst case scenario is that the change will start to close around the world and will have a very dangerous situation all industry good really collapse right thank you so much scott roxboro for coming on the show our world we can't wait to see where this thing goes. well considered a genius today but are the media gentle leskie achievements came against all odds a woman painter and 17th century italy she was lucky her artist father encouraged her to paint at all for centuries art historians considered her

a curiosity now she's hailed as one of the most progressive artists of her day and her exhibition and london's national gallery highlights a painter who shattered conventions. she was one of the most dazzling artists of the brock and intrepid pioneer artie means yet gentle a scheme be italian pain to use to work to raise the voice of women and fight for equality against all odds and this in the 17th century it was extremely challenging for women in the 17th century i mean they had sort of severe social restrictions but also as an artist i think you really had limitations this these sort of restrictions on not being able to move about and see the art works on public display when she was really exposed to very little compared to say have male counterparts the exhibition shows 30 pictures from a remarkable career the daughter of painter or art salumi gentlest are to me as you

discovered her extraordinary talent early on and let nothing stop her. we know that she was painting independently by the time she was 16 and her 1st known work painted when she was just 17 is absolutely astonishing but i think also she had sheer determination she wanted to do the same work the men were doing that men painting more than just 2 lives and portraits artemisia painted scenes susannah and the elders from 1610 shows a bathing susanna who seems visibly uncomfortable under the lustful eyes of the men are to me see herself then became a victim of sexual violence the exhibition presents the original transcript of the court case the put art museums teacher goes to no time on trial for rape for the child artemisia had to repeat her statements under torture. greed to undergo judicial torture it was the only way that she could prove that she was telling the truth and she knows that and the way she comply with you know and sort

of answers the judge's questions with incredible poise for a girl of just 1718 and i think you get a lot of optimism from that to me as is trauma and her long. for avenger of visible in her most famous work judith beheading holofernes it shows female determination to make men pay for the violence inflicted the decapitation of the oppressor holofernes is brutally depicted. she takes the story of judas brutal killing of the general hala freddy's and dials up the excitement the passion the horror you're right inside the tents with this thing happening in front of you can almost feel the whole blood spurting on t.v. it's a very shocking picture unflinching images painted by a courageous woman now finally in the spotlight. 30 years
