00:02:57Network reporting at least 13 deaths. and 28
00:03:01injuries, saying the

00:03:11children died after boat, carrying more than 300
00:03:14people capsized off the coast of

00:04:21of the world, igo ora in oyo state is famous for is
00:04:25unusually high number of twins who hold a special spiritual
00:04:29significance.
00:04:35Some locals believe the secret behind the town's high rate of twin
00:04:39birds lie in their diet, particularly
00:04:42ocra leaf soup,
00:04:44of however there is no scientific evidence linking the local diet
00:04:48to the town's high rate of twin
00:04:50birds.
00:04:56We continue in Algeria, as authorities in the country say they have arrested.
00:05:0061 Moroccan nationals on suspicion of planning acts of
00:05:03sabotage, a statement by Morocco's general directorate of national
00:05:07security says the suspects were part of an international Moroccan
00:05:10criminal network, however, Algeria says they were preparing to
00:05:14commit acts of sabotage undermining security and public
00:05:18order. Those arrested include a former soldier in the Moroccan
00:05:21army. They reportedly ended Algeria via mountain
00:05:25trails from neighboring Tunisia. Relations between Algeria and

00:06:10approaching the court and waiting for the decision while the
00:06:14court will consider the matters and the merits, the legal
00:06:18advice has told and the legal team has told us that we are legally
00:06:21bound by law to comply with the court order, otherwise we will
00:06:25be in contempt of court as government. we are a
00:06:29situation where as the IMC must find a
00:06:32balance between compliance with the court order and listening to the
00:06:36concerns of many South Africans, and we believe we will be able to
00:06:40find that balance, though we need, time and
00:06:44patience that we will request formally from the
00:06:47court and that we are requesting today from our
00:06:51citizens, so we understand the
00:06:54impatience, we hear our citizens in what they are
00:06:57raising, we are requesting patience and the space to be

00:07:45particularly significant given South Africa's commitment to addressing
00:07:49the humanitarian crisis facing

00:07:54nation, we celebrate the
00:07:58winning the Nobel Peace Prize by
00:08:02one of our reveared judges, navi

00:09:12fuel That shortages. recognition
00:09:14requires applause by all of us as
00:09:18South Africa and it requires us to
00:09:21recognize that out of South Africa this
00:09:25country has produced giants
00:09:28and human rights law and respect for human
00:09:32rights, so we are very
00:09:33pleased. South
00:09:37Africa's president, let's cross over to Malawi now
00:09:42shortage where has a entered its second week, continuing to disrupt daily
00:09:46life across the country. the crisis is triggered long cues at filling
00:09:50stations with motorists left uncertain about when supplies will
00:09:53return to normal. according to local media reports, some
00:09:57drivers have been sleeping in their vehicles for days, hoping to
00:10:01get fuel when supplies arrive. for others, they face difficulty to
00:10:05get to work while businesses are losing customers.
00:10:08citizens are urging the government to address the crisis urgently and
00:10:12transport fairs continue to rise, unable to afford the higher
00:10:16costs, some passengers are choosing to walk instead. Authorities have
00:10:20yet to provide an update on when the situation might improve. Malawi
00:10:24relies really on imported fuel, analys however say a
00:10:28chronic shortage of foreign currency is making it difficult for the country
00:10:31to finance its fuel
00:10:33imports. the
00:10:37fuel scasty has actually affected us quite a lot because we're unable to go to
00:10:41work unable to drop the kids, even our businesses where we're
00:10:44doing things have completely slowed down, we don't even have clietel coming
00:10:48in, things are just completely you know dumbled
00:10:52really, for instance i work in the hospitality industry. "you can imagine
00:10:56people we expect people
00:10:57to come to be able to do the conferences for accommodation, it's completely
00:11:01out, our businesses have gone down
00:11:03completely,
00:11:08and major move to tackle malnutrition and food in security across the
00:11:12country. Nigeria's 36 state governors have declared nationwide
00:11:16nutrition emergency. The announcement follows a high level three-day
00:11:19bilateral leadership exchange in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia led by
00:11:23Vice President. Shatima: the state governors have pledged
00:11:27to establish national nutrition intervention fund to drive the
00:11:31nutrition 774 initiative directly into every
00:11:35local government area in Nigeria. is our correspondent, emperor
00:11:39Simon with
00:11:40more.

00:12:10lessons from Ethiopia's successful sakota declaration
00:12:14to overhaul Nigeria's approach to child growth and public
00:12:17health. We collectively commit to: number
00:12:20one, declaration of nutrition as
00:12:24national. emergency, reinforcing the highest
00:12:28level of political commitment and coordinated action
00:12:31across federal, states
00:12:34and local government levels. Number
00:12:37two, establishing a national nutrition intervention fund
00:12:41to catalyze implementation the nutrition compact.
00:12:45Under the new deal, state and federal governments will adopt a unified
00:12:49framework titled one goal, one plan and one budgets.
00:12:53The federal government says it is already. preparing to roll out
00:12:56immediate targeted action beginning with two pilot
00:12:59states carrying the highest burden of stunting before
00:13:03expanding nationwide. we will define with in the
00:13:07states what are the clear objectives for reduction of
00:13:10stunting and begin with the multi-sectoral high-level
00:13:14team, all the ministers here, the ministry of budget and
00:13:17planning and the steam, water resources, health and social
00:13:21welfare as well as agriculture and other relevant. ministries
00:13:25will go on the ground to the state, sit with the executive
00:13:29governor, sit with the steam to identify what are the
00:13:33sectoral priorities that would help to achieve the
00:13:37agreed objectives in stunting,
00:13:41few points,
00:13:43focus, multi-sectoral
00:13:45action, clear road
00:13:48map that is
00:13:50implementable, performance matrices and
00:13:54accountability. if we do that,
00:13:56we will bend the needle, we will shift the needle, we will move the needle on
00:14:00nutrition. Ethiopian government pledges technical support to
00:14:03Nigeria, describing the partnership between the two countries in the area
00:14:07of nutrition as a benchmark for intra-african
00:14:10collaboration. We look forward to work with you and to
00:14:14support you, be technically or anything that is needed
00:14:17to move our continent together in your commitment.
00:14:21With this commitment made addizaaba, all eyes will now.
00:14:25be on the implementation stage across the 774
00:14:29local government areas of Nigeria as the country works
00:14:32towards curbing stanting and improving child health
00:14:35nationwide. Empero Simon, channel's television
00:16:23is breast cancer awareness month, a global opportunity to
00:16:27raise awareness of breast cancer and call for action to
00:16:30improve access to timely diagnosis and quality health
00:16:34care. It's formed part of a of discussions a gathering of
00:16:38medical doctors and researchers who are advancing medical
00:16:42and modern treatments that combine oncology, that's cancer care
00:16:46and nephrology, this kidney care, particularly as chronic kidney
00:16:50disease and kidney related cancers increasingly
00:16:53overlap. President Calina Hospital, President of Kelina
00:16:57Hospital, Dr. Salcius Unir was speaking with the
00:17:00media while reading out an impressive track record of
00:17:04surgical milestones most recently celebrating the historic
00:17:07achievement of performing over 50 robotic
00:17:10radical prost
00:17:14prostectomy procedures within a single
00:17:17year kid in is vital
00:17:21organ for survivor there are some organs that are vital without those
00:17:25organs the individual cannot survive you can amputate a
00:17:29leg and the person can survive you can remove the pains and the
00:17:32person can survive
00:17:33you can remove the prostate and the person can survive the you
00:17:37remove the two kidneys, the person cannot survive, the person
00:17:41will absolutely depend on dialysis, but minimum three times a
00:17:45week, yes, the person will require dialysis to remain
00:17:48alive. in the case of this patient, he had
00:17:52kidney cancer 10 years ago or 12 years ago now,
00:17:56and the kidney was removed, because there was cancer there,
00:18:00one kidney was removed, and if you leave that cancer, the cancer will kill the
00:18:03person, cancer by way of talking about the cancer w.
00:18:07cancer b cancer is part the body that
00:18:11develops annormally and it can jump from one part the body to
00:18:14another, wherever it goes to, it will sees the blood
00:18:18supply to that organ and the blood will diverted to the cancer cells
00:18:22and the cancer cells will grow at the expense the normal body
00:18:25tissue, people will start losing way because they don't have nutrients available to
00:18:29the body, so when there is cancer, you don't take out that organ quickly
00:18:33the person will die, so what kind was removed outside this country?
00:18:37and then he had only one kid left, that other kid 10 years
00:18:41later also develop cancer, so if you go and remove
00:18:45that kidney, he would need to be on dialysis for the rest of his life,
00:18:49if you're going for dialysis three times a week, you hardly have
00:18:53time for any other thing in this life, so we're trying to do everything
00:18:56possible to save that remaining kidney, so we took
00:19:00the part the kidney that contain cancer
00:19:04together with ream of normal king so that no do part
00:19:07the cancer with to the body and preserve half of that
00:19:11remaining kidney and the person continue to be alive and is functioning well
00:19:15living his life the kidney see functioning the power that is loved and he
00:19:19does not the dialysis
00:19:23the doctor agreed that for decades outbow medical travel was seen
00:19:27as a necessity for patients seeking advanced
00:19:30procedures but today that narrative is beginning to change
00:19:34i i used
00:19:38to refer patients to a center where i train abroad,
00:19:41i used to referir patients and used to spend between
00:19:4515 and $2000 in so many
00:19:49sectors, if you if you refer, if
00:19:52you compare that figure to the total number of patients we have done, you
00:19:56will see you can estimate how much the country has
00:20:00saved in foreign exchange, robot is lot
00:20:04easier than ever laparoscopic and laparoscopic.
00:20:07surgery, it's easier, better for the patient that open
00:20:10surgery, before now we are doing open surgery, some of us have been
00:20:14doctors for over 35 years and it was always
00:20:17traditional buse technology was not there, equipment was
00:20:21not there and some of us started seeing patients coming to hospital and
00:20:25say they want this method of surgery and it wasn't there they travel abroad so
00:20:29we are challenged by our citizens to start doing something
00:20:33about it, so there is no disadvantage for robotic
00:20:36surgery. to other matters, except that equipment is
00:20:40expensive, the skills are not there, the training is difficult, but
00:20:43once you acquire the skills, it's a lot easier than other methods of
00:20:47surgery, the patient with it the... f yesterday at his food the same
00:20:51day yesterday it was running and it's an old person i'm like please let's take it
00:20:55easy so that if if you are going to walk inside the
00:20:59cavity like inside the kidney for example you are taking out the
00:21:02storm you don't need robotic surgery you can use laser to break that st or
00:21:06you do pc that so we do several methods of surgery not
00:21:10every surgery in the world can be done or is based on robotically some
00:21:14surges are better done inoscopically some surgeries are
00:21:18better done or easier done laparoscopically the for prostate
00:21:22cancer, robotic surgeries actually the best, we don't
00:21:26offer only robotic surgery, they offer surgery in so many
00:21:30other areas and by so many other
00:21:32technologies. in sudah
00:21:36students have returned to classrooms at the university of hartum after more than
00:21:40three years of war, even as part the historic campus remain

00:21:55prepare damaged faculties for reopening. The faculty of
00:21:59science has resumed in person teaching at the central campus
00:22:02as the university gradually welcomed students back after years of
00:22:06disruption. Students war or Sudance war which erupted
00:22:10in 2023 in April has
00:22:14displaced more than millions of people and dealt a severe
00:22:18blow to the country's education.
00:22:20system
00:22:25should focus now to Egypt where a 2ous year old masterpiece
00:22:29is preparing to travel abroad for the first time following
00:22:32painstaking restoration that prepared termite damaged
00:22:36corrected flaws from earlier repairs, the
00:22:40tondo the two brothers uh circular
00:22:43portraits dating back to the Roman era was
00:22:47unveiled at the Egyptian museum head the
00:22:51July its journey to Italy where it will
00:22:55feature a major exhibition in Rome. According to
00:22:59President Mondo Mostri Thomas Readeli, termites
00:23:03had split the ancient wooden painting in
00:23:06two, while earlier restoration had left some facial
00:23:10features incorrectly align. The ports will be displayed
00:23:14alongside 70 other portraits and 40 Roman eera
00:23:18marble sculptures at the... exhibition titled the power of
00:23:21portrature, the exhibition runs from November 6th to May
00:23:257th, May 2nd, 2027, highlighting
00:23:29efforts of Egypt and Italy to preserve and showcase some the
00:23:33antiquities most remarkable surviving
00:23:36artwork.
00:23:40In Roman Egypt, this quality emerged in the
00:23:44splendid fayum's portraits. We
00:23:48have chosen one. particular, the
00:23:51so-called tondo the brothers as the
00:23:55signature image for for the
00:23:57exhibition. We are drawn to this
00:24:00encoustic painting by its
00:24:04extraordinary intensity and expressive
00:24:07immediately, immediacy, it striking
00:24:11naturalism and the direct magnetic gaze the
00:24:14subjects who looks eyes with the
00:24:17viewer. Behind them. a
00:24:20silent, person to person
00:24:23dialogue that transcends centuries and cultural
00:24:27barriers. um, the tondo initially was
00:24:30found with two major
00:24:34problems: one was a termit
00:24:37invasion that ruptured the tondo
00:24:41in two, and that was consolidated so
00:24:45that it could travel, the mouth and the
00:24:48chin were mis'. placed in a previous restoration, so they were
00:24:52technically taken away from their position and reinstalled by
00:24:56Egyptian restorers working with Italian restorans, then
00:25:00the layers of dirt top the
00:25:04painting were removed very carefully to reveal the
00:25:08true colors behind it, and the whole
00:25:12painting was consolidated to last for
00:25:16the future.
