U.S. and Iranian officials say they have agreed on a framework aimed at ending the conflict
between the two countries, lifting the U.S. blockade on Iran, and reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The preliminary agreement has already had a significant impact on global markets, with oil prices falling in response to the news. However, key issues remain unresolved, including the future of Iran's nuclear programme, which will be the subject of further negotiations in the coming weeks. To help us unpack the implications of this breakthrough and what it could mean for global stability, energy markets, and international diplomacy, Clememntine Mabena is in conversation with Ian Beddows.

CREATIVE ZONE: IN CONVERSATION WITH REFILWE

Africa's trade and investment resilience is under increasing pressure as global economic
uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions continue to reshape international markets. A new report by the African Export-Import Bank, Afreximbank, titled Africa&#39;s Trade and Investment Landscape, highlights how many African economies remain heavily reliant on exporting raw materials while importing manufactured goods and machinery. The report warns that this trade structure leaves the continent vulnerable to external shocks, including commodity price fluctuations and global market instability, raising important questions about how Africa can build a more diversified and resilient economic future.

To help us unpack this conversation, Clementine Mabena is in conversation with Dr AU Akpabio, a Health Care Practitioner, who will help us better understand what our bodies may be trying to tell us, and when it’s time to seek medical attention.
