12:02 am
seems like that we are seeing the emergence of a new force in global affairs so what exactly are the five powers pushing for. well in a nutshell these are five countries really just one great influence in two major meet us first economically they really want to see a reform in the financial model that exists right now in order to favor developing countries countries given their significance in the global dynamics another area is politically of course we've seen that in the past three years this is their third meeting they've become more bold in expressing a united front when it comes to global affairs global issues that lead to president is that if he himself had said that it is more effective for these countries and this block to go for example to the g. twenty with a unified front on issues it is more effective that's the word that he use now is going into the economic issues that they have been hammering out they do want to see a broad based currency reform system ok we have china really wants to push for the one as an alternative to the u.s. although we have had heard talks of this for some time now especially since the
12:03 am
crisis began but if china you want is to become sort of to the dollar there are so issues within this group that they have to solve brazil for example has been a vocal critic saying that they do believe that it is an undervalued law so they have to fix what they have the problems they have inside before china would progress in this regard another issue that they keep bringing up as they're very worried about the fluctuation in commodity prices food prices for example wrong materials all basic necessities for these economies to develop to thrive and they're saying that the western economies in trouble and the u.s. economy are the cause of these fluctuations so they they're saying that in order to balance this out to solve this they want more say if the i.m.f. if the world back to reflect their needs and reflect their position if this is their contribution especially to the global economy. so there are a lot of issues and on issues the blog has to tackle there but it's not just economic matters in showing
12:04 am
a united front on is it. as i said politically they have been getting bolder over the years especially now with the inclusion of south africa which just expands the representation of this group at least geographically libya has really been at the forefront of the talks when it comes to politics they really had very strong words there there has been a draft of the draft the rest with draft paper that has been seen by some reporters as saying that they really do not agree and they do condemn the use of force and the intervention in libya that we know that brazil russia india china that abstained from voting for that u.n. resolution that allowed the airstrikes while south africa did vote in favor but still the consensus right now that we're hearing is that they are really not very happy with what is going on there it is in a nutshell again in the gist of this is that the power of this there's a shift in the balance of power moving away from western countries into this recess take a look at the story followed by my colleague in
12:05 am
a country. well the old world order may be pumping money down the drain on war in libya the new world order is fighting battles that can be worn on the world's money and trade markets brazil russia india china and this year's new kid on the block south africa have gathered on the chinese island of hainan to talk business and it's not just about economy it's about politics as well the brics countries do put a heavy emphasis on economic issues broader political questions such as the situation in northern africa and the middle east are also going to be hot topics for discussions. or un resolution was very wise in terms of we're not going to get. just mass effect when the french and the british were the resolution there were serious objections from the four countries. traditionally it was always the u.s. and major of western nations like france and germany playing the leading roles in
12:06 am
apology. so the economy but if you take into consideration the ongoing financial crisis and the fact that brics countries comprise more than half of the world's population and poland almost a quarter of the world's g.d.p. if it becomes obvious that a certain geopolitical shift in power is in progress or that there are several reasons these are game merging. europe as we all know is absolutely economically politically has. it's a fearful. result car countries there are have been less affected by the crisis and have the european countries the united states and these are countries that are going to continue to grow. rapidly moderately. the rest of europe and the united states seems to be mired in crisis european leaders
12:07 am
themselves admit to losing stable ground in recent years everything that we have taken for granted for almost two centuries american and european dominance to the point at which most of the world's manufacturing goods most of the world's exports most of the world's investment was done in these countries is no longer a fact so it seems europe and the us are finally beginning to understand the emerging power of the brics nations i think the western countries are already. strained economy is. expanding what was. twenty and it is within the g twenty really the brics countries have been. strategy which has been very effective i certainly think that there would be changes in the. thing that's inevitable as these countries grow while the western powerhouses continue pounding away on regimes they find undesirable
12:08 am
a new economic and political architecture is emerging and these five countries are keen to prove they're not just another brick in the wall it goes quality china. and we expect a media conference by the brics leaders on the results of your meeting to start shortly and we'll bring you full live coverage of that stay with us for that we can . now defilements from an international contact group on libya are calling for girl khadafi to step down and other people determine their future representatives from the u.n. e.u. an arab league man in qatar on wednesday the rebels have also made their first appearance at this summit the group called the gadhafi regime and his presence threatened any resolution of the crisis that's been gripping the country for about two months and other efforts to forge an end to the civil war will be made later on thursday in cairo meanwhile the u.s. is straining as a government activists from the middle east and north africa on how to spread

democracy with the help of technology as artie's guided she can records there might be a hidden agenda. the u.s. is providing high tech help with innovations for anti-government activists in a number of countries throughout the world one of the latest developments is the panic button according to the state department the application can be uploaded on activists cell phones should they be detained the software instantly raises the contact between their phones and sends a warning alert signal to other activists sounds great one question and it's all gone probably mungo's thanking the u.s. government for the quick knowledge you are going to be drug dealers and terrorists but american officials of course claim the best of intentions saying the innovation is to protect pro-democracy forces in other countries to help use the technologies more effectively the u.s.
12:10 am
has organized training sessions for thousands of activists the one held just weeks ago in the middle east including anti-government campaigners from tunisia egypt syria and lebanon and as the newly trained and equipped activists return home the u.s. as one state department official put it counts on the ripple effect for any interference doesn't have to be a military invasion or a bombing campaign or you know some kind of special operation on the ground in that country it can also be a training and funding and the political support given to individuals who then promote those foreign interests and that's one of the newer strategies that the u.s. government has successfully been executing in different countries around the world that it doesn't consider subordinate to their agenda and it's a way to do it subtly it's it's harder to detect it it's harder to denounce it and it can often be more effective the u.s. perceives they are net and social networking platforms as major tools for spreading democracy and pumps millions of dollars into developing systems to help people in
12:11 am
the middle east and china get around internet blocking far walls but at the same time american companies provide. bahrain saudi arabia and kuwait with the technology to effectively block websites and when the us government purports to be spreading democracy it's simply a sham it's a pretense it's a lie the goal of u.s. foreign policy is to put its people in public office and in foreign countries the u.s. military has recently launched an online management program which enables it to generate multiple fake identities on social networks the false personas are designed to contribute to the flow of conversations on facebook twitter and other websites people are using social media for cyber warfare i mean that's what we're going to see more more and more of i think from from whether it's governments or non-state actors are going to try to find ways to use the internet and social media to
12:12 am
gain an advantage in their own battle the recent turmoil in libya suggest orchestration of twitter with fake users only around five percent of libyans have access to the internet and the number of twitter users there is so small that analysts couldn't even calculate it yet in february this year a surge of legal twitter accounts appeared reporting in english and virtually all begging for intervention we know that. since the beginning of the war that libyans still don't get access to them to that but those people don't check this essential fact they take all this information so be here you which is the real purpose of rickey to get you trained activists provided with panic buttons another technology scores of false identities on the air and spreading certain ideas the u.s.
