the opportunities, the benefits that i am currently that, that the companies talented delivering in, in africa. and also most importantly, highlight the challenges to our african leaders that our people on the ground, our customers, our families are currently facing the big question. now, just how much can 3 days of meetings accomplish? according to the us state department, south africa is america's biggest trade partner on the continent, with goods worth $21000000000.00 exchange. last year. economists here optimistic about the potential of strengthening that relationship during the summit. they say the market here is ready for more trade with us. they all to warn the south africa . we'll have to tread here. that's due mostly to china and to a lesser degree, russia at a time of great geopolitical tensions between those countries and the united states as part of bricks. a grouping of the major, emerging economies of brazil, russia, india, china,

and south africa. the south african government would not want to alienate either be jing or moscow as it seeks. even warmer ties with washington intern national relations professor gilbert katia gala says during this summit, china will most definitely be the elephant in the room. 10 hours met a lot of inroads in africa, particularly in infrastructure, and engaging with a lot of african countries. china is africa's largest to weigh trading partner in 2021. that value of trade hit $254000000000.00. and while u. s. president, jo biden's administration is concerned about china's growing footprint in africa. american officials continue to insist african nations should not be forced to pick sides. the united states will not dictate africans choices neither to any less the right to make these choices belong stairs and efforts, or a diplomatic tightrope, to be sure,

but one the u. s. hopes can be navigated successfully. mohammed jim jones does either johannesburg and al jazeera and senior political analyst ma and bashar as spoke to my colleague nick clack about j biden's attempt to rebuild american credibility at this summit has been convening meetings and. busy continents in order to make sure america's back as he puts it, as africa sort of the latest because it is not as directly as geopolitically important as a, you know, southeast asia nowadays or europe and so on. and yet it is quite important. and he noticed that how important it is when there was the you and vote on russia and rush and visually ukraine. and then that, that the biggest voting block is africa, $54.00 countries. right. and it turned out that half of them more than half of them would abstain, not shopped for the vote. so america thought that it could depend on africa when something simple like that, as you move thing against russian vision over of ukraine. but that did not work out

. so i think, but the buyer and my social now understands that it needs to have a clear strategies to west africa. it is to show up its credibility that has been totally lost, especially after that, as estrus estrus hall remarked by trump about african nations separate now, where protest is have died, as crowds continue to call for the reinstatement of former president petro castillo . the appointment of dean ample want a as the new president and her promises to call for early elections have not appeased. angry protest is mariana sanchez, reports from lima. oh, nearly 2000 protesters over run the air coating. nikita good, 2nd largest city. they blocked axes and clashed with police main, highways and several regions remained blocked, but whose political turmoil is growing with people protesting in large and small

debated now is a proposal from the commission to cap gas prices at 275 years and megawatt hour if certain conditions met. but that's divided a you state some want the capital loa, while others don't want to cap at all. germany fees, it'll disrupt the market. meanwhile, ukraine is dealing with its own energy crisis ration strikes of his power infrastructure across the country. president for letting me zalinski is appealing to help to get through winter. he's spoken via video link to an international aid conference in france for more on the story. let's bringing it to murphy millo van off, who is the president of key school of economics. he's also the advisor to president of the landscape administration and ukraine's former minister for economics. he joins us live from keith, thanks so much for being on the program as timothy. first of all, describe what it's like in ukraine at the moment, particularly for people living in areas without power due to rushes bombardment. i

understand that your school is been working to help provide shelters and some people that's correct and we experience regular blackouts and the, especially after missile attacks and critical infrastructure. some of the villages and some of the cities sometimes take 3 to 5 days to recover. a desa is a recent heater this monday. it's been pretty dark. a key if was here the couple of weeks ago. and let me tell you on the day 2 or 3 was out to latrice, tim hitting it gets pretty difficult. it gets pretty cold. so we tried to help people we have for we supply generators way we equip retrofits shelters for schools . we set up a shelter, a heat and shelter, thou own university fork, a demick and students. we do what we can. and even though moscow is panting, ukraine's energy grade you've been focusing on how to rebuild the country. what

does that look like from your perspective? absolutely, and people tend to saying that the rebuilding should start after the war is over, but that's not how it is because a russia continues to destroy critical infrastructure. we have some capacity left and we need to rebuild it even now as a fax continuous. so that would continue to operate during the war damages or for the critical infrastructure over the last several weeks, amount to $6.00 to $7000000000.00. but this just numbers of the lives of people are effective today. and we have a conference in paris where we are talking our government to stalking was the you was the french government about how they can help rebuild our critical infrastructure right now immediately was funding was, knowledge was, know how and with specific equipment here explain how that works in terms of the re

bill, particularly as the strengths are continuing and how much do you think it will cost overall? and i just mentioned, if you get for that specific infrastructure, but overall, how much are we looking at the direct losses currently at the end of november, i estimated, but at the $136000000000.00. this isn't an estimate by the gift school of economics . which will provide every month and it's based on the world bank of methodology. it has been verified, the indirect losses or thought the losses which include also losses for business opportunity. costa and overall a. val ferrer effects bay ranger above $750000000000.00 in practice. it's works as following. we have a barbara plant and some are, let's say, station which transmitter some bava transfer meter russia attacks. one of them are burns down. we have a back up, they attack the back up, we have another back up. what, while they're going down this cascade of backups,

we have to rebuild the 1st one or the 2nd one. so the becca will never run out of backups, and that's what's happening. even now we really appreciate your insights. thank you very much. timothy miller van off. so who is the president of it? keeps school of economics in k. thank you. moving on now and the founder of the collapsed crypto carnes. he company f t. x has been arrested in the bahamas, sam bank min freight was taken into custody at the us found at criminal charges against him. the attorney general says he'll be held until a formal extradition request is made. earlier the u. s. senate banking committee said bank and fraid, refused to testify about how his company lost billions of dollars of klein's money . alan fisher reports from washington de same. cirrus happened on monday. the authorities in the bahamas, acting on a request from the attorney general, the southern district of new york. that tends to be the entity that leads the

prosecution of financial crimes in the united states because it covers manhattan and the financial district there. that shouldn't be a problem with extradition normally, between the 2 countries. if something is a crime in one country and in the other, they tend to go through automatically. we should get more details of exactly what's in the indictment later on tuesday. no, sam, bakeman fried was the head of the f t x crypto currency and it collapsed last month, leaving about a 1000000 investors unable to access their deposits in the exchange. and we're talking about people who have lost millions, if not billions of dollars at one point f t x was valued at $30000000000.00. now over the last few days, some bakeman fried has been involved in a p r exercise giving interviews essentially saying that he didn't do anything knowingly that was corrupt. but perhaps he was just inexperienced that handling accompany this big. but there are questions that he has to answer was he able to

alter f t x is financial figures away from the eyes of regulators? was he able to move money from f t x into a hedge fund which then lost money in some of the investments that made meaning those who invested in f t x were losing their money as well. and where's an estimated missing $1000000000.00? those are questions that he will have to answer, but before that, he's obviously going to, i have to answer the criminal charges that are being brought by the united states. what is interesting is that as part of his p r drive, he said that he was willing to speak to a congressional committee on tuesday, which is investigating the collapse of f d x. you can take it as a guarantee which is not often it's something you can see when it comes to f d x. but you can take it as a guarantee that he won't be giving evidence to that committee on tuesday. let's look at how, what was the world's 3rd largest crypto currency exchange and it fell from grace in

january f, t x was worth $32000000000.00 seen as a mainstream brand. last month there was a surgeon withdrawals after investors began to feed the company's health. on november, the 8th c o sam bank and phrase said rival by nan would acquire f t x. a day later, that plan fell apart and the company collapse triggering massive losses. the major crypto current seems like big point in the past 4 years, bang and frayed has become the industry is defective spokesmen in washington. he's now wanted by us authority rate l. the got he is the technology editor at the online news website semaphores. he says f t x could be just the 1st domino to all there was already a crypto winter and now with the collapse of s, yes, there's even less confidence in crypto currency. i think we're going to see more domino's fall. there's all sorts of rumors, i won't repeat them of, you know,

which, which play which sort of firm is going to is going to collapse next. i think the market manipulation charge which at this point we don't know if that part of the indictment is going to be sort of a more difficult thing to prove than something like wire fraud, mail fraud for prosecutors. i definitely think people are taking a step back and thinking ok, you know, who do i really trust here? and this is supposed to be the faith of sort of the good guys encrypt currency. it's turned out that that was not the case. i think there's also an interesting argument, bryan armstrong, who is the ceo, co founder of queen bass. another exchange has made this point. and i think it's an interesting one that you know, by, by what the lack of regulation and the sort of legal ambiguity in the us has forced a lot of these crypto companies, f t, x included offshore, s t x is based in the bahamas. whereas queen based, i mean, they're sort of, you know, tooting their own horn here, but they're based in the u. s. t of audits and financials that you can look at. and

so the point is, you know, makes and sort of common sense regulations and allow legitimate firms to kind of sprout here in the united states. palestinians are calling for an international investigation into the killing of a teenage girl in the occupied west bank. israel says its forces were acting self defense for the family of john, as the connor says that there weren't no palestinian fighters neither daughter. neither. abraham reports from jenny, 15 year old jenna's academy used to play on this rooftop with her brother at ham cousin college. and her cat lulu. on monday they went to the spot where jenna was killed by israeli forces. at home was the one who found her sister's body late on sunday. my boy, i was oh, wrong. after the israeli forces withdrew, i came back home. my uncle told me to call jenna. i found her did, and the cat was next to her. i couldn't believe my eyes,
