50 African countries have
reported cases of cholera so

00:08:00
a dedicated pretty well established in many
countries and so the focus is going to

00:08:07
be reducing mobility within countries so
that you don't have to find the spread it

00:08:12
countries cannot respond in its own way
dependence on going to extent that you can

00:08:17
limit the spread into the high density
Proclamation you can minimize the impact I

00:08:24
think Similarly the idea that you
want to reduce much gathering where

00:08:31
you create situations of the client super
spreaders or one individual can spread

00:08:37
Iris to dozens or hundreds of others who
can create the amplifying rather I Q

00:08:43
e you want to have

00:08:45
a question of putting out an application

is kind have to respond based on its
own context. And cut and to in its

00:10:36
risk analysis will recognize that there is

00:10:39
a very degree of vulnerability across the
continent and never varying degrees of

00:10:44
strain and for each country needs to do it
on risk. And respond to try to mitigate

00:25:53
months. Reports from the capital have
rolling points on how he's seen an

00:25:59
unprecedented arising Renaissance pushing
in the last 12 months the government

00:26:04
reports merely 50 of the animals have been
killed in the last 2 months about 110th

00:26:08
of the country's final
population or fish and see

00:26:11
a 2 this rate the playground or population
which numbers justify. Few dozen could

00:26:16
be wiped out by the end of next year but
Botswana security forces are taking the

00:26:21
fight to the point shows this week 5 suspected
protests were killed in 2 incidents

00:26:27
on Monday one pushing
suspect was gunned down in

00:26:30
a confrontation with local soldiers for
more suspected poachers we killed 2 days

00:26:35
later and at the gates of the Delta to
most of the countries rain was president

00:26:41
quite some i.c.c.

00:26:42
Has warned his government to fight the
poachers most of whom come in from

00:26:46
neighboring Namibia and Zambia as serious
problems of poaching. Just do not

00:26:53
bear a spear or a love carry or

00:26:56
a knife like some of those who break into
households poachers bear sophisticated

00:27:03
arms and poachers sufficiently
radicalized to kill. So

00:27:10
that dangerous we put in I mean
place to defend this country so any

00:27:16
intruder is an enemy and unfortunately
as with any war there are

00:27:23
casualties a blitz on

00:27:25
a soldier was killed last month during an
exchange with suspected portions in the

00:27:29
north western part of the country in new
feed seized that includes suspected pushes

00:27:36
is proof the government in the presented
defense forces on the right path obviously

00:27:40
the taking of any life is not to be condoned
one has to try not to do that however

00:27:47
as I think we all know in the last
year also the poaching incidents in

00:27:54
Botswana have increased
dramatically with lost

00:27:57
a lot of reiners and we're not too sure how
many elephants we've also lost the fact

00:28:02
that the b.d.f. Own actually
upping their game plan I think is

00:28:06
a very good thing he warns porch as we try
to confront each of the rituals tourism

00:28:10
activity due to the outbreak of violence
we must also remember at this time with

00:28:16
the pandemic that we actually have the
tourism operations in the whole areas have

00:28:21
turned scaled which I believe the poachers
will be trying to take advantage of so

00:28:27
there will be I think you'll find an upsurge
in the poaching activity points on us

00:28:33
government denies the upstate is 2 to

00:28:35
a decision to disarm and be pushing
you need to last year. For views.

Brotherhood and the instruction was to come
in and play the game and if you look at

00:33:32
the proactive measures our club has taken
in that the league has taken you know I

00:33:38
think they should be applauded Meanwhile
I think Hall of Fame basketball player

00:33:42
Dick can be

00:33:43
a mood Tom Boesch should be applauded for
his humanitarian work over the years and

00:33:49
the Congolese giant joins us now with this
important public service announcement

00:33:54
it's.

00:34:03
This is your memory. From Africa are now
York your thousands of children every day

00:34:10
don't let your child be warm mag's sure to
sleep on the more skewed of the monarchy

00:34:18
is the mark we ask

00:34:19
a need to get to that. In

00:34:27
African football you might say Uganda
is head coach Jonathan McKinstry has

00:34:32
a lot on his soccer plate these days the
34 year old McKinstry is preparing the

00:34:39
Ugandan cranes for upcoming 2021 Africa

00:34:58
Cameroon Joining us now from Kampala
is Magoo may Davis Rocca winge sporty

00:35:04
Greetings my good. Sport is
waiting signing up to get

00:35:09
a consensus getting about his match at
them specifically. $34.00 players are

00:35:15
competing to look at the put it in 4
months that will be selected for the

00:35:19
semifinals in Canada next month team
captain. Knows the chance for him and others

00:35:25
to prove themselves and one of the 5 slots
available for the best players will be

00:35:30
included in the senior
national team is that it's

00:35:33
a pain everyone can reach
and amongst us who have

00:35:35
a different isn't it supposed to be picking
fights for you supposed to pick 4 or 5

00:35:40
who is fun to play for that it's not in the
news you have to work hard and maybe be

00:35:45
picked among those 10 is the ethic and
this is something if I don't know football

00:35:49
tournament exclusively telling players
that play in their respective national

00:35:53
championships their greatness I looked

00:35:56
a lot like neighbors wonder. You can
defend that right you are. A fine

00:36:02
form. I think. Is court. Agrees he sees

00:36:09
a banking experience and we
need. To approach we've got

00:36:15
a number of new boys as well who weren't
with us back in December when we were

00:36:20
preparing for the 2nd so they've
got a bit of learning to do but

00:36:23
a catching up to do in terms of our tactical
approach but they're doing very well

00:36:28
and we've been pleased definitely with the
new guys at just how much effort on and

00:36:32
they've been putting into getting up to
the mark and we think over the next 23

00:36:37
weeks they'll be in

00:36:38
a really good place come the start of the
tournament. And if they can be busy in

00:36:43
the coming weeks training both and. Be.

00:36:50
With. Will be

00:36:54
a formidable opponent I think the South
Sudan games are obviously very important

00:36:58
for us we want to try and take maximum
points we know that won't be easy. Because

00:37:04
they showed against Malawi in Burkina Faso
are much more stubborn tame than they've

00:37:08
been in past years show we'll have to be
at our best to take points but you know

00:37:14
our mission is to go back to the African
Cup of Nations and camera next year and we

00:37:18
know these are the games that you have to
prove you deserve it and he's going to.

00:37:23
Listen to. What it is later I did.

00:37:31
For the Senate side of
sports I guess. Uganda.

00:38:08
The strong stomach and
street culture. Success.

00:38:16
Thanks thanks coach and thanks much
Gurumayi for that report in European club

00:38:22
football Liverpool's defensive it's your
way for Champions League title came to an

00:38:28
end Wednesday in

00:38:29
a 2nd leg home loss to Athletico
Madrid the last also ended

00:38:35
Liverpool's 42 match unbeaten streak
at Anfield in all competitions

00:38:42
joining us with details as video ways
go when to turn Hi Gwen Hey Sunny

00:38:48
statistically speaking Wednesday's Champions
League match was bad in Liverpool's

00:38:53
favor but it was the defending champions
failure to convert their chances into

00:38:58
goals that alternately led to their $32.00
laws against Athletico in extra time

00:39:05
afterwords visibly exhausted Liverpool
manager you're going club stead his

00:39:10
opponent's win was well deserved but it
made something didn't feel right about his

00:39:15
team's defeat if I thought the way they
play I just don't get it. I don't get it

00:39:21
but that's right when I was right that
I would be tried everything for 2 and

00:39:25
a half years with an exceptional right in
the Champs League it's like when we had

00:39:29
caught the upper part of the party
in a jam speak pretty much it was

00:39:32
a night apart it was everything was said
it was great crowd exceptional the stadium

00:39:38
everything showed up in the best in the
best way to boys delivered supergame for

00:39:44
played well scored wonderful goals but we
lost so that it no impact on nothing so

00:39:50
we have now more time to prepare properly
games obviously we will see hold of the

00:39:54
season with

00:39:55
a long nobody knows that obviously the
moment exactly. And. That's it if

00:40:02
I was that we had to be had better luck
in moments in the Champs League went

00:40:06
through for some reason you have to but
there were lucky moments as well and

00:40:11
tonight we all said both games that is
after in the next round so often only we

00:40:18
watch them and speak instead of people
out of athletic Coast tight defense and

00:40:22
compact midfield was nearly impenetrable
against Liverpool's all fans and after

00:40:28
their win manager Diego Simeone
summed up his strategy on

00:40:32
a. Must. See me and says his game
plan was to win using our weapons to

00:40:39
win respecting our identity respecting the
characteristics of the players we have

00:40:45
exploiting our rivals weaknesses
and that's how we play at let

00:40:50
a goes defensive strategy has put them
in 6th place in La Liga standings with

00:40:55
future league matches in question on
Thursday the organizing body issued

00:41:00
a statement that said all soccer matches
in Spain's top 2 divisions have been

00:41:05
suspended for 2 weeks because of the corona
virus outbreak matches below the top 2

00:41:11
divisions have already been postponed
Thursday's decision comes after Reale Madrid

00:41:17
put its squad into quarantine after

00:41:20
a reality Dredd basketball player tested
positive for the virus says it considers

00:41:26
the stockers suspension appropriate action
for the next phase of protocol against

00:41:32
Kobe had 19 to vent his defender Danielle
over Ghani has become the 1st Syria

00:41:38
player to test positive for the virus the
entire squad including Christiana Rinaldo

00:41:45
will be quarantined for the next 2 weeks
and they will not play their match against

00:41:50
a limpid Leon in the 2nd leg of their
Champions League match scheduled for next

00:41:55
week in fact all Champions League matches
are in. Westen due to the corona virus

00:42:01
that has hit Europe particularly hard
on Thursday you way for a issued

00:42:06
a statement calling for

00:42:07
a meeting of European football stakeholders
to discuss its response to the outbreak

00:42:13
this statement says The discussion
will include all domestic and European

00:42:18
competitions including year old 2020 that
meeting is set to take place on Tuesday

00:42:24
March 17th and with reports speculating
that the Champions League and Europa League

00:42:30
could be suspended all I saw on the Premier
League so far British sport is carrying

00:42:37
on as usual which is good news for Liverpool
fans Liverpool are the runaway leaders

00:42:43
in the Premier League and only 2 wins
from clinching the title fans say the

00:42:48
coronavirus should not be allowed to unseat
them and all remaining games should not

00:42:54
be played behind closed doors Well I
think you ought to be worried about what

00:42:58
they'll do and I think there's massive
decisions today but I think that to take it

00:43:03
away from us. Would be icons manage and
they could they could let this happen I

00:43:09
don't think any any right minded person
even in Manchester. Could agree to that

00:43:15
it's just it's

00:43:16
a very weird way you're seeing some of
the highlights from the games last night

00:43:20
it's just. It's just the same about the
participate and see how they can go close

00:43:26
and told me I was ready I don't think
that's going to work everybody but be

00:43:30
a bit of

00:43:30
a scouting report on the way to carry
on the fun is my focal. You can't play

00:43:36
football with Alfonso commissaries gone
and he will kill the Copes especially the

00:43:43
leagues so he can't do it if we're going
to have to tell you those criteria right I

00:43:48
mean we know every point to 2 games to go.
I mean I think if they try to still take

00:43:53
it away from us all they know the applause
they overall has put in they could do

00:43:57
that so this is a. It is a way
thing I think it was all as

00:44:02
a Premier League title would be the 1st
time in 30 years Liverpool is crowned

00:44:07
English champions sports fans the corona
virus outbreak has permeated the world of
