the, the some new sizes in 10 place to grow the economy, use corruption and viewed and inclusive presumably. and what they listen has been described is a divided between the old and the young generations. for the ellipse rates, use it choice between maintaining this fits us. cool. well embracing they change in the opposition, which they, i'm not sure yet. many would want to see a government that was sitting around the corner. me create jobs, good health and inclusive muscle and whatnot. what is a 2 years old? he came to power of to it 2017 military cool,

which tor poured long time. who lot robot mcguffey, many see, one of what didn't change much though, and he's accused awful pressing openings. one of the international stage is known for his close relationship with the russian president. let me at 14, he had recently attended putting these after the assignment and accepted, gives, including in your presidential helicopter. no. so and to me, so he's just 45. he's a lawyer in the pasta, but it has been politically active since he's use. he's credited with the reviving and published what position of to me just please, in the past few years. internationally. so many site is quincy dead, western leaning. then we're not going to i'm at least see the live stream that these 2 did info, the incumbents, jude to support from staple guns like security and the judiciary. and many expect another disputed areas out the context, no between pressed into non guard when to know so in showing me so it's likely

going to be a disputed good. the dispute is it comes or not getting will be on the opposition to prove that jim vi did not lose the election if the old position with but failed to prove it. that will mean more of the same wasn't by was people. and many of them are struggling to advise it, but to are corresponding privilege and was fun. harry file that report. he's in her already following the election for us and asked me earlier, which issues are top of people's minds as a counselor ballots to the top of the people's minds. if what does go into different pointing stations today is the economy. you find that zimbabwe has been tried, is struggling economically, and a lot of people are employed and is what is going to cost the balance. is this troubles within the economy that will be at the back of their minds. they hope that

the next government will be able to tackle most of the problems that people are facing right now. the challenges that they're facing. most of the challenges has to do with us, the ability in the economy, things like the currency and the exchange rate. so these are some of the issues that people are going to be having at the back of their minds. it's the bread and butter issues that most people are concerned about. now your report also mentioned concerns about whether the run up to this vote has been free and fair. do you think we are likely to see a disputed results here? the analysts predicting it disputed, resolved in the sense that the issues that have been cropping up in the run up to today. one of the issues is to do with the what is called the the lead mutation

exercise, which determines the boundaries of the cause. the twins these so you find that voice as some of them is they are walking into the polling station. we, we, to me is this uh today where people are coming to check the names. they have told that your name is not this pulling station. maybe it is not d plus shifted to the polling station, which is now 5 kilometers or 10 kilometers away. so in that sense, a lot of people may not be able to what they are disenfranchised because some of them may not be able to go to the respective places to go in cost. and they have voice that issue as well. uh, pause the one of the presidential contenders to withdrawal from the election because you was saying that look you during the it's the run up the issues to do with the disqualification of candidates. and then he says,

even if i'm going to contest, i only have 20 full members of by them in out of more than 100 that they were expecting to be contesting. 8 to 7 does not need to reduce that to contest. so you are saying, even if i then managed to become president, i will not be able to have control of the probably, i mean, so those, those are some of the issues that to me you know, bring out a disputed result in this election. so with these issues and these possible hurdles for some to actually go vote, ours and ball wins excited about the selection. these are after all, only the 2nd general elections since represent copies. allister, the, the watches up in the do not, is the move in the run up to the election. the hype is not being, as we twice in the previous elections, you would, uh, yes,

you could not use that. we are in an election season because of the election. you had any that was happening you because of riley's and like, but if you speak to the general in the origin that people, some of them are not even consent to come out of their house to day to go and talk their balance because they're kind of fun with what has happened previously and what this thing is that some of the pros promises that were made in 2018 when not met. so those are some of the issues that may be, you know, crop up as well. and due to some of the, of what has to come out and going to cost the balance today. well, thank you very much for your reporting. that is d w as correspondent privilege what's been here in hawaii. the leaders of the bricks group of leading emerging economies are holding their 2nd day of talks in johannesburg. the 5 bricks nations, brazil, russia, india, china,

and south africa are home to 40 percent of the world's population. the block will discuss plans to expand and to establish itself as a counterweight to western lead groupings like the g 7 and the g 20. today that the brick summit kicked off with the leaders of south africa, result and india calling for shake up of the international economic system and of the business for them. we require a fundamentally full of the global financial institutions so that they can be more edge, child, and responsive to the challenges facing developing economies ahead of the summit, host country, south africa. welcome china, as president, treating ping. the canal mach powerhouse has a leading role in the bricks group. china's invested massively enough for cars, infrastructure, building roads, railway lines, and ports. yeah, excellent. uh, address it and what today i've done on it because the value of the value is that

all we have done and we have seen right now in china out of the developments. and we really like it. the lines, the school is a multi polar role that isn't dominated by the west experts. a western industrialized countries will have to change sort of the old colonial licensing of the colonial power and the developing country as a fee area. russian president vladimir putin to parts only the video link, choosing to avoid any chance of being arrested on arrival for potential war crimes and ukraine. expanding the block to let and you countries joint is high on the agenda, but members don't agree on how to do that and what criteria they should use as a group grows and confidence and may be numbers. western countries may have to prepare for change. so let's find out more from our corresponding diane hawk or she's in johannesburg reporting on that's on it for us. that's one of the main

agenda items that the 15th break summit is for the members here to decide on whether they'll be admitting another country to the group. they have been around 40 applications from various countries to join ranging from saudi arabia to argentina, nigeria and other african countries. one of the issues though is that the bricks member countries and 100 percent sure of what they're looking for. they've asked the different foreign ministers to come up with some criteria that will be given to the lead is before they decide all 5 member countries have to agree on whether they admit a new member. and that will be with the discussions. get interesting because some member countries have a much more clear idea on what they are looking for and how they want to change the make of, of breaks. then as is another big issue here, is where the breaks should be moving towards using a single currency amongst all the different countries. there's been a lot of investment done in the different bricks countries. and now we're seeing

the new development bank flexing its muscle recently issued funds for south african runs. and it plans to issue bonds in indian rupees. indications off that the bricks member countries will be discussing, whether they should use one car and see one of their own currencies, as opposed to using the us dollar for major transactions. that was diane hawker reporting. we can turn our attention now to some other world news headlines. a building and central mosque i was damaged after the russian capital was attacked by drones overnight for the 6th night in a row. moscow airports were temporarily closed. the russian defense ministry said 3 drones had been detected. 2 were shot down and said, while a 3rd was electronically disabled, the kremlin blaine's ukraine for the attacks. the evacuations are underway and flooded parts of central to lay as heavy rains continue to swap the region.

emergency services have brought tens of thousands to safety, but many more remained cut off from basic services. the government has declared a state of catastrophe in the worst affected areas. thailand's former leader talk the scene that she cannot watch. it has been moved to a hospital on his 1st night in prison. officials said the 74 year old was suffering from chest discomfort, texting with jail for 8 years on corruption charges. just hours after arriving back in thailand after many years in exile. and the philippines incense supply boats to a remote out post in the south china sea. despite what a government spokesperson called harassment by china. the supply vessels were blocked by the chinese coast guard even wellbeing escorted by the philippines, navy and the coast guard. china claims large parts of the disputed region as its own pockets. don is breathing a sigh of relief. after 6 children of 2 adults who are trapped in

a dangling cable car were lowered to safety. local rescuers are being praised as heroes for their role in the operation. they stepped in after the military was only able to save one person by helicopter. the rest brought down by a zip line, rigged by a local emergency team alongside the army. working throughout the nights with the students had been using the cable car to travel to school in the mountainous region . one of those rescued has been sharing his story. smiles of relief, as i told lies, were united with his family to go off to surviving a terrifying mood deal. and his morning commute us out among those that we will going to school around 7 in the morning when the guns little was off like the air it's cable, broad condition. it was dangling and i was terrified to jasmine that afterwards the helicopter arrived and tried to risk you. us of the teenagers,

uncle describes the planet that was felt by those watching from the ground. the boy, i loved to me, it came and it was like a doom stay for the area. i'm not going to, i'm not everyone rushed out of their homes that have been and children got all those sisters that the couch which i'm use, the same cable car in the mornings and afternoons. stuff like that, iowa, that 8 people, including 6 school children, was stuck in the cable call for hours of to the support cable snapped leaving. they've gone to low hanging high above the ravine. rescue efforts by helicopter were eventually hampered by wind. but all me come on those in locals. what tirelessly side by side into the evening to bring each person to safety some nearly 12 hours of today was 1st stranded.

cable cars are popular, major transported roommate mountainous areas of pakistan, but they often not retain the maintained pac custodial storage use of now or did safety inspections of old private mount to lift journalists. machine boss has been following that rescue operation from his mama bob, and she told us earlier more about the rescue mission or so it was a very long day. yesterday, the military had been involved for hours attempting to rescue children and the 2 adults. and they were successful in doing so to some extent, the operation went well into the night and that's when the locals also stepped in and use zip lines to rescue the last 2 people. so it was definitely a joint effort and could not have been done without this kind of teamwork that we saw yesterday. we also have to remember that the locals knew the terrain, and they knew the cable cause better than anyone else as they are the ones who made

them. so their knowledge and skills were important in the sense, given this mission. yeah, and of course there being praise as heroes for their efforts. now looking ahead at how to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again, do authorities in progress on have a plan to prevent accidents like this in the future. so at the moment the kid can take a prime minister, his off the old people cards and cheer, let's be suspended. so these are areas where cable cars are used to transport because they're very roads are for disconnecting the values to reach jobs. public services and families to local people are left to just pass things together in the form of these unregulated cable cars that are made from scrap material. whether there is a solid plan to address that issue is yet to be seen. the suspension of all cable cars is a solution prompted by local and international media scrutiny and is not backed by any long term vision to provide an alternative. one suspects that the, that the band will work initially, but overtime as there is no practical alternative,

the local people will begin running the cable cars again despite the suspension. well, thank you very much for joining us onto to visit with that update. that's journalist machine of us and as one of us. thank you. the, let's turn now to grease fire. emergency crews bottling wildfires have found the burned bodies of 18 people authority save the deceased may be migrants who cross the border from turkey. and that area in the northeast has seen intense fires in recent days. new places have also broken out near the capital athens. hundreds of find, find is it being battling blazes across greece before tuesday to people have been reported the date and to find find is injured in the dozens of fires. but the discovery of the 18 bird bodies, the alexander palace and the countries northeast, took authorities by surprise. the city is near the border with tucker, official,
