a serious challenge around money laundering, around organized, try around in cash economy and you know, this is angel clothes and come from that. we had extensive revelations about in relationship to a traditional commission of inquiry that ran for 3 years into the issue of capture . a more lines on what we knew we knew generally was, was it was a serious challenge appealing. i'm, can you say that this is well known in south africa, that, for instance, given dollar reputation, that why have authorities not taken action against him or other syndicates like this? is there any kind of accountability going on? you know, it's very difficult to comment on the stage these types of investigations. it's important to know that, you know, some african has gone through a very difficult period in terms of a state capture. whereby whether it be in

a lease service or within our prosecuting services, we fall out more often institutions and institutions that promote accountability. so it's fair to say, you know, across the board that african forestman, things like money laundering and a fight against organized crime. and corruption has been really challenged. and we in this area and recognize that acknowledge broadway, that these are areas that we need to see massive improvement if we want to turn a corner around, you know, the economy finds it when it comes to work. and i was speaking of this being recognized. i see just over a month ago, south africa, along with my gerry, i was gray, listed by the global anti money laundering. watchdog obviously has some very real economic consequences, aside from the reputational damage. hasn't changed. anything that you know,

not the, the, the announcement of the financial action task force to grade this, africa was a announcement that came out last month. and it's quite a significant for the country. it basically says that, you know, and, you know, can come up the box for as a, as a say, investment destination, given the types of weaknesses that we're talking about in terms of the anti money laundering. a framework. so, you know, this green listing really puts this african government on terms in terms of ensuring that, you know, significant progress is made both in terms of legal reforms required, but then also in terms of implementing those. and in terms of enforcement, come, you mentioned legal reforms that i know you and corruption watch have expressed concerns about the way that anti money laundering legislation has been approached in south africa. do you feel that you're now being had those issues are actually being dealt with you know, you so it's not even government to

a certain extent has acknowledged issues around beneficial ownership. transparency . you know, the fact that you can set up shop companies without any real understanding of beneficial owners are, you know, we're pushing for a much broader kind of disclosure routine idea of what kind of central registry that, that, that could be monitored. or we have seen some piecemeal legislative responses to this issue and obviously up to this point, they haven't been substantial enough to overcome this gray listing that we're doing . kind of saying that the executive director of corruption, what speaking to us from cape town, great hit your reactions, that car on to our investigation. thanks so much for joining us. thanks for having me. on that you can watch the 2nd installment of our full pump series, gold mafia, smoke and mirrors. full episode coming up here on out a 0 at 20100 gmc moving on and russia's fs. be security

service says wall street journal reporter evan greske of it has been detained. the u. s. citizen was stopped in the city of year. catherine, a bag on suspicion of espionage. according to state media, criminal case has also been opened against him. well, that's been endorsed jibari, she joins us now from moscow. and also i know the journal has already said it's deeply concerned for his safety. what more do we know about what's happened here? well, as the details are not quite as of fully visible, the moment what we do know is that this 32 year old journalist has been arrested according to the f. s. b services statement that was issued a short while ago on thursday. according to a local fixer who worked with this journalist who has lived in russia for the past 6 years. and he was gathering information to do a story about how people felt in this area of russia in yucca to rang region

about the involvement of the wagner group in the conflict in ukraine. this fixer, that was arranging interviews for him, said he had left that area in return on wednesday, unannounced and he hasn't been heard from since the fs. b is accusing him working on something completely different. the statement that was issued by the security services said that he was gathering a sensitive material about the rushes, a military industrial complex enterprises at their requests of the americans. what we have heard officially as well in the past a short while from the foreign ministry here spokesperson issuing the statement saying, what's an employee of the american publication? the wall street journal was doing in a terran burg, has nothing to do with journalism. and that unfortunately, this is not the 1st time that the status of a foreign correspondent, a journalist, visa and accreditation, have been used by foreigners in our country to cover activities that are not journalism. this is not the 1st time that

a well known westerner has been grabbed by the hand. we have yet to hear officially details of this arrests from the wall street journal officials in russia. we do know that they are one of 14 american media outlets that are still operational in this country. according to reporters without borders, 18 journalists were detained in russia in 2022. we don't have official stats for this year yet, but this certainly comes at a very tumultuous time in the relationship between the united states and russia, and certainly his arrests will escalate things further. dosa jibari there with the latest for moscow, just was also noting at this time that the wall street journal has denied all russian allegations here. we'll have more few on that as we get it. thank you dawson. now china is that new premier is assuring investors that his country's economy will bounce back after being battered by panic restrictions. li chung told the annual al forum for asia that china is opening up to the wild and delivering

reforms to revive growth. well, in john buses, we will implement combined strategy of expanding domestic demands and deepening the structural reform of the supply sides and continue to expand. the scale of china's markets will launch a series of new measures in expanding market axis. optimizing the business environment and ensuring the implementation of projects, we will continuously optimize the institutional environment that enables state owned enterprises to take new initiatives, private enterprises to break new ground and foreign business to make new investments. on the world's 2nd biggest economy, staged and modest recovery in the 1st 2 months of this year. but concerns remain industrial profits plunged by 22.9 percent during that period. and china's economy grew by just 3 percent last year. one of its weakest performances and decades, but to can, the, has worn out from hong kong, political and financial leaders more than 50 countries around the world gathering

on the southern chinese island of hi ma'am, for the start of the bow, our forum addressing the start of the event chinese vice minister of foreign affairs leave out don't. so this was an opportunity for cooperation at a time of increasing global instability. he pointed to concerns over a financial crisis and energy crisis inflation and the ongoing war in ukraine and said this was a time when cooperation was needed, more than ever. economists to say this forum is an opportunity for china to try and seek cooperation on the financial front, particularly with asian neighbors at a time. and it's trying to promote both itself and the asian region as an economic safe haven off to consecutive banking crises in the us and europe have royal global stock market. political analysts also say this is an opportunity for paging to try and present itself as a credible place for these types of cooperation deals to be broken at a time when it's just been trying to promote itself as a global peacemaker. with regards to the ongoing war and ukraine, the challenge for china,

se analysts is being taken seriously on that front when there are many big countries not in attendance at this boe out for him. and china is facing increasing scrutiny over its own role in global instability, particularly at a time when president change and pay has just returned from a controversial visit to russia to meet with russian president vladimir putin. and when ty one's president dying, when it's currently in the united states, much to the anger of aging on her way to a diplomatic tour of central america, where china has been trying to broker its own relationships with countries that have until now had a relationship with taiwan, all of this is playing on the political and economic landscape for china. and that's why analysts say this forum is an example of one way that china is trying to reset things and get a better balance of how it's perceived globally, by organizing and promoting events like this one, which is kimber, thousands era in hong kong. well, let's bring in joseph mahoney. he's a professor of politics and international relations at east china normal university . he joins us now from shanghai and joseph. this is obviously

a very sensitive time for china as richard was saying that relations with the west on exactly warm, china's obviously trying to re enter the global economy. this form is a bit of a hearts and minds exercise this year. it is, you know, china, i think if we put it in this form in the larger context of china is moving quickly into a new paradigm of major country diplomacy, emphasizing above all peacemaking and cooperation and shared shared or when, when developments games that we, we've seen this most dramatically, with the recent successful mediation of resumed medic relations between saudi arabian iran. and again, we saw that she and moscow last week now promoting a diplomatic solution for the crisis and ukraine. now it's clear that china and the rest of asia want to avoid new conflicts, especially this is true in southeast asia where countries want to emphasize stability and growth. and there is growing momentum for this. now extending not just in south asia, but those south southeast asia,

but also south asia as well as the middle east. however, the larger context years at the u. s. position towards taiwan. and what beijing perceives as aggressive containment policy, aggressive containment policies against china, us are from their view of threatening a new ukraine in the east. and this is in part, inspiring in china to so aggressively promote peace and co operation. we've seen this at the boil form. we've seen this by characterizing asia as a south, a safe haven. but also with she jumping, saying in and several international for last couple years that asia can lead way on global peace. while it does feel like there's also plenty at stake if a china's internal politically to you mentioned that offense, that beijing is trying to shore up support from places, potentially other than the west. i'm thinking here about the announcement from pearson last week about back in again as an alternative to the u. s. dollar. how much of a difference might not make? you know, i think this is, this is one development among many we just

a couple days ago. saw the, the finance ministers considering dropping the us dollar euro and yet in financial transactions are moving to settlements and local currencies. indonesian president joker makoto is calling for phasing out visa, mastercard, and his country to shield buy indonesia from geopolitical disruptions. citing the new practices of us new sanctions that have emerged in the wake of the conflict in ukraine. we're hearing that the prime minister modi has a plan for moving past the dollar. brazil just agreed to deal with china to deal with china, where all exports can be done. not using the u. s. dollar. we just have reports of the chinese national oil company, c o, c, and frances total energies. having completed the 1st, you want settlement l, n, g trade through the shanghai petroleum and natural gas exchange. these are the larger context of what's going on around the boil form. and these developments are no doubt foremost in the participants minds, i'm sure will also in the last hour,

separately the european commission president as live on the line has been publicly describing how relations with china has become more distant and difficult in recent years. those basic wants to try to fix those. now i think that debating is definitely very much interested in cultivating close nice with europe. i think that the issue in europe is that there are some countries that have clearly chosen the american path. the united states is trying to impose an us for them approach a cold war 0 so mentality. and some countries are lining up already behind the us and, and when they speak, now they don't represent all of europe, but they certainly represent. maybe they're more narrow interests, so some of that is happening, but i don't think the whole of europe has yet chipped absolutely in the u. s. direction. oh, interesting dynamics. they will continue watching very closely. joseph mahoney, their professor politics and international relations at east china. only university
