English translation:That's as much time as we have for this topic

Explanation:
If the sentence was intended in its literal meaning, you would say something lik "This will suffice for now, etc."

However, this Arabic sentence is merely a cliche used in broadcast as a transition to another topic of discussion. The equivalent English expression runs something like "That's as much time as we have for this topic, etc."
