6:04 pm
come out to be clear, are you saying the rescue operation has been suspended because it's dark of the yes. the helicopter operation. the let me make that clear that. sorry, if there's a misunderstanding. in fact, the helicopter output agent has been suspended because this is a narrow, riley allen, up to the standard operating procedures are that they do not operate officer dog in that particular area. however, as i mentioned that uh the met, they're not being used. local experts have been garden from that area because chorused on the northern area squad riley, they have money to put a cable to god like this, all but a dirt x. but you know how to be able to move on to escape. but and so there will be an addendum throughout the night to try to reach them by an embryo wise gabriel car using the same k. but it's so they operate ation. that is your operators and it

6:06 pm
no patient that would be guided out by this pressure unfortunately, and that is likely to continue after daylight. first break of daylight tomorrow morning. if this operation has not concluded by before that rapidly developing situation, but we appreciate your reporting. thank you very much. come, i'll hide, are monitoring this for us from a slow, a bad 18 burned bodies have been found in northern greece, where one of the flyers have been burning for several days. the victims were found by firefighters and in the area, often used by migrants to cross into europe from neighboring or key. hol, brennan has more. the hills above alexandria, police are a furnace of heat and smoke and flame. 5 fights has stun toe to toe with the blaze . battling to push back the in front of. but despite the crews extraordinary bravery, the font as a being found by gale force winds. and there is little that can be done to stop the
6:07 pm
payment, it will just be around the house up there with a fly stall to it has completely burned down. there is nothing left now the far is moving downwards towards the rest of the village. for example, if we could have another fire, only fire, that's what we could see. the wind was so strong and no one could do anything, no one. i remember. and it's here that's fine. if i just found a teen burned bodies on choose day, a shop and shopping increase in the death toll from these walls foss. this region is close to the border with took a look forward to say the victims may have been migrants trying to reach your the blue lights of ambulances snaked the way through the city and convoy. as the glow of the advancing wall far grew brighter and closer to the suburbs, but the cities, 2 hospitals, the time for hesitation was passed from one to 100 patients. many of them elderly and frail, had to be evacuated to safety. every available vehicle was pressed into action,
6:08 pm
even removal, events and laundry trucks. they were taken to the cities port where a passenger ferry has been hastily converted into a floating hospital, passenger lounge now re purpose as a clinic. patients placed on mattresses on the floor. ness is tending intravenous trips and oxygen, lots of stuff, but on yet i really haven't ever experienced this before and not be working for 27 years. it's like, well, conditions stretches, scattered everywhere patients here patients that a terrible twilight is enveloped the whole area smoke to attend the mid day. some black, the glow of the flames brings no wolves, only destruction and death poll brennan. i'll just hear hundreds of stood in these refugees at camping outside a u. n. building and the libyan capital tripoli. they say that they are in desperate need of assistance and or accusing the un refugee agency of not taking adequate action to help them. some have been stuck in the country for years. others
6:09 pm
are recent arrivals from sedans, door for region, link train. it has more from tripoli that they want to be relocated to a safe area. i mean, especially these new arrivals. i mean, they fled 5 months of, you know, extremely afraid. we spoke to a lady just a few minutes ago to flood some down about 21 days ago. uh. she has 5 children. she was separated from her father from her father from her husband and brother. so she, you know, she's here if she's their phone, will they need assistance? and uh, you know, they, she told us that's, you registered where we're just about 400 meters away from the u. n. refugee agencies, the registration center. she said she registered, she received help once, but she said it's not enough. i mean, you know, you can see, these are women and children, dozens of families, your web fled and,
6:10 pm
and travel a, a as long distances to get here. but they don't feel safe, they're sleeping in the streets in front of this, you and building. and they say they're not receiving any help. some of them have told us that well wishers would been well wishers have provided them with water and food. but it's not enough. they want assistance and they want help as soon as possible with the instability in the region. i mean, we're seeing the fighting into down, we're seeing the military coup and niger as a way. so it is likely that a larger influx of migrants will continue moving north towards libya and they're dealing with their own problems, their own political divisions and insecurity for themselves. so it's very difficult for looking at stories to help these foldable people. a funeral has been held for a palestinian teenager killed by. he's really forces in the occupied westbank. the
6:11 pm
17 year old was shot during confrontations with his really soldiers in the town of the body. south of janine nearly a $188.00 palestinians have been killed so far this year in the occupied west bank . and an overnight range across the occupied west bank is really forces arrested at least 50 palestinians. a policy and prisoners organization says that the operations to place in her bron nablus ramallah engineer and thailand, now the head of a port type party such as how we seen will become the nation's new prime minister. earlier on tuesday, former leader techs and shinall wants to return home. it was immediately sentenced to serve 8 years in prison. houses here was 20 chang has this report from bangkok, tex interested in what emerges on to tale solely for the 1st time. in 15 years, the 1st order of business to lay a flooring offering and to kneel, ingratitude before an image of the king,
6:12 pm
and then waves and smiles flanked by his children. he drank in the name of a quick handshake with friends and supporters to minutes of freedom. this whole thing was the way i'd sit about his them back inside the terminal to me, the police. but as supporters are still out here and in fine boys, they come out in the thousands to welcome him home to all this time. besides i, yes, i am very happy. i have only wanted to see him coming home like his may be, the country would be better, made out loud. do you come here today? and we are very happy. why? because he comes back to todd involuntarily. even if he has to go to prison die. and that was exactly where the former prime minister was head of his crowd to support his way to the outside. the supreme court texan was driven inside 3 guilty verdicts in his absence is to be so and then as most supporters chanted outside, he was driven into cologne. prim, central prison discounts his sentence,
6:13 pm
but how long will they spend? and so many think a deal has already been done for an early release. passing might have made some sort of agreement in order for him to be coming back. and in order for him to, to sort of bring some of the issues away from the parliament and from the court. which of those issues include the full mation of a new government and finding a new prime minister the debate that was taking place in parliament across town of the several months of stalemate, texans political allies patel. i say they formed a ruling coalition with votes coming into the normally it was clear the military bank send it to my approved top. so that's how it's how we send a property. developing tycoon confirmed thailand's new prime minister, the techs and should walk from his jail, so they still be pulling the strings. tony chung hilda 0, think of that. they were in a position to bring you more now on that breaking news out of northern pakistan
6:14 pm
were 6. people are stuck in a cable card dangling off of cable 300 meters above the mountains of khyber but to quip providence 4 children in 2 adults are in the cable car. i'm doing the best it is joining us. you are the secretary of the relief rehabilitation and settlement departments of pakistan's provincial disaster management authority. who are joining us from peshawar? tell us where the rescue operation stands right now, sir. well, as we speak, of some of the children have already been rescued and some of being rescued especially services approval by his thought he is in the forefront and rescue the other 2 along with them in district administration data or the other thing i was in the rescue operation and as we speak and assembling, uh and uh, according to the conditions that really, how many children have been rescued, our latest information is the to have been rescued for are still in the cable car along with 2 adults. ah,
6:15 pm
yes. to have been rescued out in front of them that are little irritable and out of the door low and to have been rescued. and where is the 6 of them? are still there in the game of thought that he had to be that we were speaking to our correspondent a minute ago who told us that the helicopter part of the rescue operation has been put on hold. because the sun has set, there is no light, it's too dangerous for the helicopter team. is that accurate? is that also what you're seeing happening? uh yes for the time being, but uh, in the meanwhile uh, those were on the ground there. uh and going other ways to reach the children and to getting their mileage right now we are installing another key mode so that to, to another main shift trone, we can make an access to the ones who are already tracked there and getting them out. okay, let me sure, let me make sure that i follow that and that our viewers understand that you are in the process of setting up in the dead of night. another cable that i assume would
6:16 pm
run parallel to the existing one with another. um you said a trolley, so i'm not sure what that would look like. can you detail that for us? yeah. with that, that seems pretty difficult to imagine. but, but that's what right now, that is, that is something we're trying to to, to, to go with right now. and so what's the idea then? then you would move the trolley along the cable and in a position where it would find itself parallel. i assume that's the go with the cable car. yeah. in fact, just in 1st of all, along with the cable, which has to be giving support with the trial, the trial any that is fine. the only 2 other cables are on the, on, on the same. 1 on the same room towards the previous statement. so we are also thinking about making use of some of these other cables as well. and you are pretty much right. we were trying to reach to a position where the charlie gets federally to the one which is fat. are those
6:17 pm
cables currently solid because one cable snapped, that's how we got into this situation in the 1st place is the car in any danger of dropping. 4 well, it is only one cumulative, which is supporting the you are right there. the only way to sign it are, you know, you get not even to where it is and you will have to try and whatever you, again in order to get the people out or is it solid? do you trust this cable? or do you need, or were you saying earlier that you're essentially setting up another one in that situation like this, in a situation like this, you haven't across 2 lanes, things you have to have famed in our recent people. how strong the cable is. uh, obviously we are doing what the way we get into that isn't that isn't our own means to ensure that the cable is strong and that it does not produce that. having said that, the effort is on that we're, we're trying to lay it down down the reach to the people who are spending. okay. run us through the rest of the plan. the trolley would then be brought level with
6:18 pm
the cable car then what? yeah, yeah. one thing is about 11 to that strongly, we just started with the people out and getting them out one by one. what kind of timeline are you looking at? do you think? when the timeline is you? it seems like these uh, the operations getting go on and it can be a shorter period as well, provided we secure this access to those brand new strongly. but if we are, if we, if it takes time, which, which, which, which, obviously in may then it may take time. do you have any communication currently with the people who are in the table car there? as a reminder, i'm more children, 2 adults, just one thing i'm in marketing with the rest, you'll be the ones that are out there and what making efforts in order to reach to the people. no, sorry, i went to my question is do the rescue. teams have any line of communication with the people who are in the cable car, either a phone or a walkie talkie, anything. why don't the guy is in the independent strongly, he has bought a phone,
6:19 pm
but as white as by now, or what can i understand is that his battery has run out and the communication is no more with the guy who is inside the trolley before this, when are you, when is the helicopter part of the rest of this rescue operation, going to be able to resume the uh, as you say and, and the doctors, they can not uh they, they cannot operate with the, with some semblance of security. uh so i guess with the 1st light they will be back uh and in the be in way. will you be busy with this? uh, when does god. oh, but if i go by say we wish you and your team is on the ground. were trying to rescue the 4 children and the 2 adults and the cable car, you know all the luck in the world we, we do hope you succeed and we thank you for taking the time in this rapidly developing story to keep a surprise of developments. thank you so much. there's plenty more headed on this news hour. we'll be reporting from zimbabwe,
6:20 pm
where political parties have ended their campaign rallies ahead of wednesdays presidential election and 2 of trump's allies indicted in georgia. have handed themselves over to authorities and in sports and use sprint star emerges from the fact that the world championships and hungry far as well. we'll be here with that story. later. this out the, the head of rushes, wagner mercenary group, has appeared in molly's capital, bama co. if guinea per goes in posted a video online saying the presence of his group on the continent will make quote, africa more free, is his 1st public address since he led a failed rebellion against russian military leaders in june. for goshen also said that he's recruiting fighters. it's got an attack. nicholas hack was in the car and
6:21 pm
neighboring center goal. make what more can you tell us? let's just put everything into this. any little strand of information that you can give us on this thing that just popped up on our radar and a very short while ago for goshen being in molly now of the that's right, we're hearing that too large and enough aircraft landed just an hours flight from where we stand in the car, in the capitol of multi in by my co with it, caring men and munition and for gods and who did his 1st address. as you mentioned, 1st video since the russia ukraine crisis mutant, e. we saw him once on a picture shaking hands with a central african republic administered during the russia africa summit. but it's very interesting to see him just now. in molly a country that has denied the fact that they were the presence of a russian mercenaries from the wagner's states. but the united nations and western
6:22 pm
diplomats say that they are very active, they're helping them all in forces to fight off arm groups linked to al qaeda in iceland. that's exactly what progression said in his address. he's here to fight against all quite a nice so he said, and other actors not mentioning who exact piece pointing to it, who is a free advocate from? that's another question that he didn't answer, but the timing of all of this is quite interesting. so didn't, yeah, tell us a little bit more about the timing and i mean, i understand it's, we're early in how the story might develop, but there's a lot going on in the continent right now. obviously in news year in neighboring news here, there's been of crew. the african union just today said, you know, we don't want to bring more mercenaries into this story and is also the brick summit in south africa specified well, let's start with where he is right now. in molly, where there is the biggest,
6:23 pm
the largest and most expensive un peacekeeping operation in just a month ago, city. and they were asked to leave molly and we're hearing it had certain military compounds that were run by this un peacekeeping force, also known as the new smell. well stepping in is uh the muggy and force is, but also russian mercenaries from the wagner's group. it's as if the keys are handed over from the un peacekeeping force to the volumes and then to the molly and to these russian mercenaries that our position is positioning themselves inside these comb pounds, using the logistics and whatever the you and it has left. now the you in peace keeping force is expected to withdrawl by the end of the year. but of course the contacts and the timing is also quite interesting because molly and you share share a large border where there are a arm groups linked to al qaeda that are active in that region. and we just heard through social media from joe, microsoft will be somewhat listed mean,
6:24 pm
which is one of the, i'll call you to it's really it that controls large swath of land. in that part, in the news you're multi border and they're telling it supporters to prepare for combat against the wagner's group and the molly and forces they expect that they will be coming towards them. so we are expecting to seeing the days to come in on thursday, they'll be the military briefing of the money and forces is for the russian mercenaries, from wagner's with amalia and forces stepping in, going into contact to the border of new share. a country where there's a coup in place and where there's a lot of uncertainty on who will be in charge of that country with the threats of military intervention from the west african body echo was all of that supported by the west. the united states and france that have basis in the may so we can see that the front line between russia and the west in the heart of africa in this a hell saying. right. nicholas hack reporting from the car. i suspect we're going
6:25 pm
to be hearing a whole lot more about this, so will speak to you again. thank you very much, nick. i sim bob wins go to the polls on wednesday in an election that many could hope could turn around the country's economy. however, opposition parties are raising concerns that the vote could be skewed in favor of the governing party. how are we tossed that reports from her raleigh? the president emma said, minutes as i want a 2nd attempt to strategy to stay at office is upgrading somebody's roads and bridges, hoping it will create jobs and convince voters to keep him in office his main rival, nelson. and tell me some hope suspicions about corruption, high inflation and unemployment with encourage people to choose him. he says, if lifted, you will, men's ties would waste in countries that imposed economic, such as honest and bobby for human rights violations. move. he believes to turn around to bobby's elections often controversial. this one is no different
6:26 pm
one presidential candidates put out of the race, quoting it to us. we as the witnessing must disenfranchisement disqualification of opponents by the fit into this elective application of their role by the election management board and by the costs. overall, the citizens coalition for change party, known as triple c, is still participating. but party officials say being the main opposition isn't easy, obviously with that has come a lot of oppression at the state has hips back by banning all rally speeds seen an upsurge of political violence including the mid to of one of our members. b team. the rest of our campaign is the governing vanity of parking denies allegations of both to intimidation and answer electro processes. i said this would be a, here's the hut is empty, it was the see me know to be in that
6:27 pm
it. it was if they did agreed, yes. a. so what does, but with it a draw commission from the triple c o position. it's wrong if it is possible on the part of the triple c. bobby is off to why they divide voltage. that's usually straightforward. here is what happens afterwards. if the result is disputed 5 years ago, i positioned support is protested over what they flawed with delays and announcing election results. the police said they were overwhelmed by the crowds. the army was deployed. some people were shot and killed. no one was able to risk. it's not easy living in the country with one of the highest inflation rates in the world. voters hopefully ever becomes president turns things round quickly. hard on with us. i'll just as we're joined by chris marilyn, you are a chief executive officer,
6:28 pm
a good governance africa, that's an independent research think tank and you and your team were deported from zimbabwe on the eve of the election. joining us from skype on skype from johannesburg, chris is good to have you on the program. tell us briefly what happened to, to thank you for having me on your program. several. well basically last tuesday, my colleagues that is 3 of my other colleagues and myself in to door as involved with, via joshua points and national airport, which is the airport in the 2nd largest city. off 5 is involved with below i and this was oft uh, we had consulted with the south african embassy here in south africa where i'm talking to inventory, our capital city. on arrival at the airport, we offer a brief interrogation by immigration and customs officials. we were committed to go into below i, where we were ultimately engaged in research mission. we would be suitable
6:29 pm
for approximately 48 hours and then it was on the 2nd day of our presence. vain belie that we had been also confronted by immigration officials to get the with the plain clothes, security agents software. this involved in government, we'd been appraised us again about what our intentions were after assuring them that was simply vague to do research. a big confed with best of periods and came back to us simply saying that the superior is a given an order for them to basically test without course, from when the wire and ultimately from zimbabwe. so we would removed the just basic you do port to the lead can be. so this caught our attention because you're a research team called good governance africa, your ends in bob way and a day or 2 before elections, that the opposition says are not going to be free and fair. this team that is doing
6:30 pm
research on the governance of the country is kicked out. what would you make of the opposition's claims that this selection isn't going to be fair as well? certainly if you view elections as more than just the defense, that is the day of elections, which is essentially going to be the 23rd on wednesday tomorrow. maybe you need to understand that and the environment needs to be established that creates an enabling environment for the conducting a free and fair elections. and this environment was create a landscape that is basically the balance of allows for the freedom of expression of both opposition and of course the governing party candidates. and when we assessed the situation in terms of this enabling environment, the conclusion that we can only arrived at is that what the assessment that you have heard from the opposition is quite correct. but the neighboring environment does not exist in love with for the conducting of free and fair elections that
6:31 pm
express the will of the people. in actual fact, what we have seen in the preview to these elections has been the narrowing of the democratic space for the conducting effect, free and fair elections. you're talking about the enabling environment. i understand what you're telling us. and then there is the actual operation on vote day. any thoughts, any concerns on the actual unfolding of the vote of yeah, i mean when you look at the elections, it's basically about the voltage role with auto votes as role that is credible that is verifiable. and you cannot really assess who is eligible to participate in these elections. and with the judgement outcome can be found from this. this technical aspect of elections is a glaringly absent and this involved with which leads us again to a conclusion that from
6:32 pm
a technical assessment of what the requirement is for the conducting a free and fair elections. they simply don't exist in zimbabwe from both a technical perspective. and also an assessment of the pre conditions towards and enabling environment for free and fair elections. and since you had and were part of a research team that was just in zimbabwe, how it was in baldwin feel about the elections. do you think you have a good read on that? yeah, i think we've got a pretty good read on that because we haven't just been looking at some bob, we're from the moment we are interested in bob, which is on tuesday last week. but we've been cherry not consistent research trying to gauge the move to trying to engage with our research partners also is involved with what we can say about the move days. that menus and bob bins are very cynical about their prospects and suspect that is our new p, as in typical session,
6:33 pm
might be engaged in a process where they try to engineering outcomes in their favor. we think that the correct and ultimately our reviews totally legally from zimbabwe and illegal deportation. you know, a view is an attempt to secure the regions view of what is actually going on in some bob, but also to explore skew at the international communities assessment of these elections. speaking just i think it was today, a prominent professor from the united kingdom known as steven chang. professor steven chang was also denied access at twos above where he is consistently engaged in an assessment of the electro conditions, but also of the politics of symbolic way. so this is an i'm an assign taurus that it appears that the governing is the p if couldn't be preparing to basically engage in this standard procedure off engineering outcomes in the faith. but when it comes
6:34 pm
to elections, all right, chris, marilyn chief executive officer, a good governance africa. great to get your assessment today. thank you for coming on the program. it's a privilege. thank you sir. is that still a head on elsie or a brick summit leader is representing nearly half the world's population gather in south africa. and in sports, a nerve unites the arsenal action from the english. premier league is on its way and will be with you shortly. the his spaniel is bracing for a tropical storm franklin to make line fall that will happen on wednesday. so here's the forecast on tuesday that land fall by the way it looks to be just to the west of dominican republic, capital santo domingo, looking to pick up

republican party in georgia. both of them are arguing that they were watching is federal officers. and therefore, it states can interfere to need official duties. and they're both saying that any idea of arrest warrants being issued should be stayed until the federal is allowed to rule. and whether or not it would take this case, which according to be loving speaking through in the last uh uh, the david chief for the jeffrey clark might not be keen on handling themselves over at so with the code deal. but we know the 2 of the 19 have already done that tony spent and start hold as whole happens in the last couple of hours. okay, so to the headline then donald trump, we now have a date for him to hand himself in of the i don't on the pre election to take a detour through the court house here in atlanta is coming in thursday. what we were saying yesterday was the most likely day that he was going to do it. there's a political reason for doing it. first of all, it's the,
6:41 pm
the after the republican presidential debate in milwaukee, if anyone has done well, the media on going to be talking about that simply because they are going to, he's going to up, so couple of the, uh, old, the, the oxygen and uh, i i that will just completely wipe out any coverage that be i actually get. so his decision to come on thursday is completely understandable. is the bills already been agreed? that's on usual is a cash deal. $200000.00. that doesn't mean he's going to write a check at the end and then put $200000.00 and a 100 over it will probably be 10 percent of that. that needs to be a launch with the courts. that's somewhere in the rate of $20000.00 and it could well come from his own passcode check book from the various political action committee that have been set up. so he's not going out of pocket when he finally walks into the court on for on started to be put his arraignment this evening with expecting him to plead not guilty of, of course,
6:42 pm
all lies in the court house on thursday. ellen fisher reporting from atlanta. no doubt, you'll still be there on thursday and we'll be talking then. thank you very much. i as the president of south africa says that he agrees with china about the expansion of the bricks group of countries, serial ram. a postal greeted chinese president shooting, paying for the brick summit in johannesburg. leaders from brazil in india are also discussing expansion of the lions. let's take a closer look at the bricks. the leaders of brazil, russia, india, and china originally made up the grouping which held its 1st summits in russia back in mid 2009 south africa joined just a little later in 2010. the blog is pushing to be a new global voice representing a quarter of the world's economy festival trade nearly half the global population. it wants to counter what it considers a unilateral approach and geo politics, but stress is that it is not empty west. these are challenging times, however, china and south africa's economies have slowed. russia has invaded ukraine and
6:43 pm
india seeks to balance relations with both moscow and washington. but more than 20 countries have applied to join the brakes, including argentina, saudi arabia, and iran. media miller is in johannesburg for me to i was hoping you could bring us into the, the debate within the existing bricks, countries on how much to expand and who would to allow it of the whole. that's likely what they're discussing at the moment. we do know that individual representatives from the member countries of the shop us have been discussing this in recent days and are putting together a report to present to their respective foreign ministers. and that's property. going to look at the criteria around how people will be echo overall, the whole countries how nations will be admitted and for what reason. and what the basis of the expansion will be of expansion is likely to look at the economic
6:44 pm
standing of this individual countries and potentially what they can bring to the parties. in the case of a ron potentially uh, oil reserves. and also we're looking at countries that could potentially boost the economic side of the, the brick structure of this block. and to discuss it further, let's speak to to visa for could and he is from the africa asia dialogues to be. so when we look at the criteria, out of the countries wanting to join the brakes, and this expansion, which is really at the top of the agenda, we understand potentially know, consensus in the are not as keen. what might they be looking at in terms of who they want to admit? i think the main thing that we're looking at is it's the governance of those countries. we know that those are different plants sofa, most of what governance issues not only had in terms of them, not respecting individual rights and, and they basically don't so which i think tend to talk to. so i don't think i can
6:45 pm
do that as soon about pushing sol. it's mainly governance because some of those details that are attending the training fix came into power through cruise. critics of also said that the house of the members of breaks up in like to dictates is there what kind of criticism that they're facing? how are they going to balance their national interest with admitting certain countries to break the forwarding line? i suppose what is going to be very difficult to want to uh, to navigate particularly different kinds of site just thought of tickets and puzzle because those of applied as a credit to say, do not pending such as it on which not does not go head mux i mean, that kills because you, i thought that daunting advanced correctly and got decided, did you bet this little activism gentle lives in the jails, including so did i be a less duplicate suspect? not long ago, they killed shot to pieces to mark as soon as possible. so these are the kinds of countries that are contained in training ethics. and i think that the pushback, particularly from, from brazil. so there has been
6:46 pm
a few propping. but i think following his statement on sunday, assuming the taking that much more from a position. so that's very, very challenging for the biggest countries, knowing that statements of african president fluid i'm, of course i'd say it's south africa, as i suppose, some would say maybe a lower ranking be involved this breaks block. but so the africa is not aligned, but it doesn't mean it's neutral. what does it mean for a country like russia, where they want to sort of expand their influence in africa and at the same time, so that for getting a lot of heat because of that relationship, what a i took, what so the sense of that page up thoughts um no, just sitting, what is it on sundays, but these are the men who decided to host the media to the drills with the rice you on the very day that to be your opinions were accommodating the invasion of their country. it's my directions. so it's not difficult might be saying that they're not outlined in this instance, but there's been little bit speaking particularly from the department of international relations and cooperation. then again, what's the effect on sunday?
6:47 pm
i'm take you to the page of thoughts, i think so. i don't think as a big confuse is on the picture. what's the value of from the americans who have met a lot of of which is by the way, to, uh, to indians who know that to, as just did, it's a human. and i'm going to click into way in china trying to expand themselves and not on my go. uh, 5 minutes. i'm already went to the united states and they told me to funds so you can see that the americans are there within the is i'll push them back to this unit just then so the data don't fix. and so the ones that find themselves in a much, much more complicated position to be so thank you very much for your time or speaking there to the piece of fuck to be sent for. couldn't from the africa asia di, lots of giving us, i mean, insights into some of the deliberations that happened behind closed doors. that those brick summit we are expecting, or at least partners within this grouping. not expecting at least some i'll come outcomes that might bring teeth to some of what uh, brakes members have been saying and recent months and likely resolutions around
6:48 pm
issues around how these countries trade amongst themselves. and also the expansion of the existing block for me to miller reporting from johannesburg for me to thank you so much. you've set us up to the conversation. we now want to have with our guest. a new said, jerry is a professor of economics and finance at the university of north carolina at chapel hill. you are joining us now live. the brooks group was set up more than a decade ago, as we said in the introduction. what has it achieved? and so the bricks group was really psyched up to foster. it was primarily an economic rationale to foster trade and investment relations between between these countries, which is, which are emerging markets by growing countries and in the global south. so rather than have a world economic system which is primarily consists of north south trade and
6:49 pm
investment flows to foster foster shouts out. a trade in investment flows and, and strengthen into a regional relationships between these countries. which as you can see in the last decade, the bricks countries actually succeed in purchasing power parity terms, their g, d, p exceeds that cost, the g 7, accounting for about 31.5 percent of the world. gd officials are in terms of growth . sorry, i'm sorry to interrupt, but i, that's a very interesting point that you may because there is one way of looking at the breaks, which is to add up the share of the global population that they represent the share of the global g d p that they represent and say, wow, this is half the world, this is 40 percent of the world's wealth. you know, this is a powerful grouping of country. and yet if you look at events on the world stage and you ask, well, what events has the brakes helped shape? what events has the brakes prevented what outcome have they been able to engineer
6:50 pm
using their clout? and i ask you this question, what have they actually achieve? all right, so that's a really interesting question. part of the issue with the cloud is, let's say forums like the multi lateral financial institutions like the i m f and the world bank. although these countries account for such a sizable fraction of the world population and g, d, p, their cloud and their voice and representation at these international institutions is not commensurate with these other numbers. so for example, that the math, these countries collectively only account for 15 percent. so i would argue that in terms of growth and development, these countries have done exceedingly well, but do not have a voice and representation as at these very important international for us. and the brakes coming together is a counter point in, in trying to create
6:51 pm
a multi logical world, rather than having a union lateral sort of us lead world. and it remains to be seen as, as these, the alliance moves forward as to whether they are able to get that voice in representation in the world of international economic policy making, their, you know, an issue that's really interesting context that you're saying there's really 2 ways to look at it, is there economic clouds on the one hand and then the diplomatic cloud? that's another story, but certainly 2 metrics by which the bricks can be assessed. thank you very much and you should jewelry professor of economics and finance at the university of north carolina at chapel hill, a pleasure this time for all your sport use, no one else to 0 with far is no far several. thank you so much space in term prime minister pedro sanchez's told this country's broke up, winning team of the whole nation is proud of them, such as has been hosting a reception for the squad as they continue their celebrations. tens of thousands of
