11:02 am
have discussed further steps to resolve the situation. yes, the meetings are back or by some electric cheese that has just finished part today and got ice expected to hold for 2 days. that's what what so it was expensive. it's frowned in saying that, you know, it stands for demo bracy in the region and that sound but nothing really. it's very clear about when or how a possible military intervention or innovation of new share would take place just yet. but that we know that um, you know, local media records have suggested that there's a growing, patrice at the same off, you know, about the cloud or it's in the meetings, you know, across minutes you to see an hour before i got out, you know, where the meeting is taking place and this just goes to show this grow in sentiment across the continent. you know, many african countries, many residents here saying that, you know, they do not want aircraft to interim fan in the matter of fact,

peter said that they would interchange in, in the shower. we on the street from some patent lease that does meet and could be it meets and where of course leaders decide on how to, you know, move forward from here. the, the possibility of a military intervention in the crisis does not have the complete backing of the continent. according to french media reports, the african union is refused to approve the plan and even within the eco was block itself. there are signs of division. jerry is sent. it is urging the president to use diplomacy, while opposition law makers and gone to argue that any military move could go against their own country's interest. we spoke to the people in the new chair to see how they're feeling about the situation and was up in the city. and i say that we expect actor wants to come to its sensors because their current approach is an antique people approach. since they simply want to intervene militarily in order to satisfy france, military intervention is never a solution. we hope that echo was will reject the military option and opt for
11:04 am
dialogue because only dialogue can bring an end to this crisis. so that's what i'm missing today. i need to gun. there is a groundswell of support for the military government have come to liberate the people of new year. they have free does from 13 years of injustice embezzlement. so we firmly stand by them and will rise to fight any intervention forces even before the mailed her steps. and we're here and we are ready this. and then yes, we didn't really see. and i think the african union understands the religious abuse yet. so it wouldn't be part of any major intervention we have suffered for more than 2 years, but they didn't speak out. so the germans, i submitted back in the major leadership we've been told should for many years. but now we're liberated and one go back to something like a present in new jersey. and we are in the new jerry and capital in the army. and as you know, here in these year, the news has been dominated by the military coups since july 26. a cruise that saw the birth of the national council for the safe guard of the homeland. it must be

11:07 am
who says that from the beginning echo was pursued the route of intervention rather than diplomacy. april i've got it runs right from the beginning, learn the title of the strategy for negotiation is to bring things that a value to both sides. as you'll see people in the united states natal, i'm not taking those hot stubs. so what's the do? but it was right from the beginning decided that they would just say, minutes we before decided, negotiates which us about resulted in so many of the delegations about this. i need your business not reject it. and this time by maybe to, by deciding whether to have mattress because at the moment, usually most funded or by. and so they generally supported by 3 or the applicant countries as you need to also understand that the board us the today about 61 of these borders that julia and these are the people lead the relatives religion of business interest. ready in new jersey. so you already have

11:09 am
just like we have the out of the situation in the share means washington's having to choose it, its words very carefully and sufficiently branding the events as a cool cleaning that under us lot would have to cut all military and financial ties with the country. you can remote about more about just how tricky dialogue is for the white house by heading to our website. hard to dot com. the is really rate on the west bank city of jenin has left one palestinian dead and 2 more injured to other people were also detained. the, according to palestinian authorities of the person killed was a 32 year old man that the israeli defense forces claim belongs to a militant group called the owl ox, a martyrs. for gates, palestinian health ministry claimed one of its workers was also badly injured. and the rate itself is said to a provoked violent classes. the study and media reports claims the israeli

11:12 am
well, it is like do we, we help out with the 3 dozen sort of return the supply suppliers of global due to the distribution. we're not the doctor put me in the types of the us we crush the bottom of our quarter since that is what our visit general box under. this is why the, what i would do would be under the shuttle, but it's whatever is going to show up for got to be able to print the test out to the printer just in for the machine it is, are the one of those we need to be able to follow up with the a david lucian conferences underway in kenya focused on the power of local and regional authorities in the country. the president william rudo said cooperation will be key to meeting the challenges that the nation faces. we need to up to get
11:13 am
out on distribution of the laser. i must commend many counties. what with us in providing the last my delivery as who are aware we believe that counties have the capacity working with the national government to be able to deliver to the last night. that's what together on my task for me to get in climate change. meanwhile, several 100 african civil organizations have sent a drawing letter to president brutal saying that the confidence climate interest should be prioritized above the wishes of the west, which they claimed, comment africa's expense. the agenda of the summit has been unduly influenced by us based consultants to, for mackenzie and company, lead of african officials and ministers has been pushed on the back burner. these developments are serious lounge settling. the summit concept note as proposed by my teens and company, reflects the interest of the us, mackenzie,
11:14 am
and the western corporations they were present. meanwhile, effort, the state and priorities are conspicuously missing. as a result, what are mainly focuses on africa's needs when it comes to climate policy and green energy and says western companies and institutions should not be allowed to dictate the course of the change. what has been signed by over 400 organizations. it's the 1st time that this event's been held and it will run for 3 days in the canyon capital and said to hear from senior ministers to african union officials and various experts in the field. the final declaration will be adopted at the end . the various organizations that uh, kind of set the agenda for this time its uh, police police specials like, uh, mccain, skid. um which is uh uh are you as best clothes or does it from um, but as p a to be setting the agenda for uh for, for the summit this boucher know some of the uh major access i'm guessing so in
11:15 am
other terms such as all us who we should participate and contribute to this. i mean, um, what do you feel isn't comfortable organization? uh they are pushing an agenda this into pushing them agenda i can reach uh my so cause making a purchase to the climate change issues which i think uh we, we oh so we are concerned about the additional select my guess the uh the foundation that be being made, i guess on dishes on this hosting to have uh a be got it all in, in, in the summer. give this somebody it's, uh, presentable claims. uh is uh, is enough to come somebody sorting of the solutions and the resolutions and outcomes with the stomach. and from that that's kind of voice the coming covers of practicing the by november. so how authentic is this?
11:16 am
how many people have organizations like making ski and the private entities? one of the comfortable whose agenda is unclear, are having a big about the same. the agenda on the outcomes of the assignments banks that unites the brakes group of emerging economies has issued a new bond in south africa. that is one of the highest rated on the domestic market . the so called new development bank place the obligation in 3 and 5 year tranches in south africa's rand currency. the issue as part of a major efforts to boost the national economy. specifically, by increasing trade turnover and the bank has been strengthening its presence on emerging markets around the world and encourages the use of local currencies as the bricks group has also been looking to issue a united unified rather currency for that block. as it moves away from traditional dollar denominated trade, the brakes uh organization includes the economic power,
11:17 am
houses of china, russia, india, and has emerged as a counter balance to western hegemony as it promotes a more multi polar world trade and national currencies is endorsed by bricks, members especially in view of the heavy sanctions that the u. s. and other western powers have imposed on rival economies around the world. to get more on this, now we're going across live to that we root, who is the chief economist and founder of efficient group in south africa. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. dally. so what were the specific regent reasons for the new development bank? to issue these new bonds in south africa the new due, while they are many reasons. one of you said there's a, that's a good financial marketing is what liquidity needs and it to be easy to use your bonds in south africa. in fact, is there something i took on capitol ball good is probably use some of the mostly put capital, all good, self only merging countries in the world. so it's on that point of view, it's easy to do that. you do use an established capital market a 2nd. the of course it's much bigger. a do quite often do you see both in your own
11:18 am
currency as a b because you don't run the exchange rate risk of for example, you use your name daughter's to be an issue of dollars and you've got it's a week and then you're running an exchange rate risk as well, and i think 50, yeah, i think of the biggest countries to the modem. i choose what they are going to see more know, especially when it comes to say, for example, bones and everything comes to trade as well. so i think that could it be that could be a number of reasons and the reason is it will make sense to me. well, what other ways would you say the bricks nations are looking to strengthen their economies in the near future? what can you say about trade among those states? and i would say that should be a 1st broader deep. we know that the we've about the bricks meeting. so that's a good thing. the problem has been the sick adult this month. and i think that must be number one priority on the agenda. that is what can be done this thing, some trade between the various countries. we should this, that be straight agreements, do make it easier for countries to trade with one another with this little friction as possible. but it's still the new method of trade is also to make it easy in
11:19 am
terms of payment systems to make it easy to pay and $1.00 another and basically just organizing own got into to buy one another as well. so, but so the trade would be my, the on top of my agenda really comes to this meeting up from between the say could be so that what do you think about the brakes plan to issue a unified currency? we've spoken a little bit about local currencies, but this is also another proposed way to move away from using the us dollar and international trade. so what do you think about that in terms of its potential effectiveness and the likeliness of that coming to reality? i think i think there are 2 things here that we have to understand. we have to distinguish between 2 things, the one, these payment systems. and what i mean by payment systems is baby to use to solve that. they couldn't get to see to buy the chinese way. it's awful that they used a country to buy aspects of those that we have and they, they all measures in place already. so payment systems should be shopping up a little bit surprised by what you do. if it systems should be expended, so it's easy to fund and find that straight between these various countries and
11:20 am
they are already doing that. that's what it is. a good thing to do. the 2nd thing, but people misunderstand the stupidest thing. the 2nd thing is that, that the talk about the unified guns. yes. such and the meaning behind that used to be stablish, a new reserve guarantee that can the rival, the used on it. and i'm afraid that sounds going to happen soon. and there are many reasons why that is still going to happen soon, but one is that you need a very big liquid. typical mom could be, i do, and none of the groups got uses associates moment. does have that. the only potential arrival to, to use the above at these, to you to bins. and not even due to periods every day have a unified capital of all good behind that. so as 3 studies a so called new reserve guarantee, that's something that's not going to happen. soon, but that's we should try to lift, could do it to that, but to establish it within the next couple of years, that is simply not going to happen because they are much other things that need to be put in place before we can talk about the unified currency for the big skeptics . what, what can you say about south africa,
11:21 am
a specific contribution to the overall growth of the brakes economy is, you know, i'm afraid. so that's a good stuff putting it. all right, there's a, that's a good economy is all the growing to, so that's a good economies. but for the smallest of all the big countries. in fact, if you look at their relative size of the various economies, one can argue this of that because you've been being bought a bit of seduced off with this. i'd have to get economy this year. he's probably not going to grow, grow very, very slow. need and if it going to be that to the indians or even to the chinese and the chinese economies like don't mean that. but still they are great much, much for us in the south african economy. and of course, the much, much bigger economy. so now i'm gonna try to, so that's a good economy. we are simply not putting a weight and all contribution in terms of gravity. so the not the we start them since and the other things going for us without adults. we have very well established and very well regulated financial markets, and i think any of the other piece got disconnected from us when he comes to finance. but if i think doug, so if he can only go to the wrong method, he cannot make policies inside. that's a good, a government that's a big not doing what it's supposed to be doing. and the result of that he's very
11:22 am
weak road in south africa. all right, down the roads, chief economist and founder of efficient group in south africa. thanks a lot for joining us. on the program. my pleasure. thank you. now, another news, a clash and the libyan capital between 2 of the countries most powerful factions has left at least $55.00 people dead. outbreaks of violence had been a regular occurrence in the nation since the nato backed uprising caused chaos and deep divisions in the country. back in 2011, several loud blasts marked in exchange of fire between the nations special deterrence force and the 400 and 44th brigade came just after the commander of the latter was arrested, shattering and already shaky peace between the 2 groups and some have called this violence, the worst tripoli has seen and a year. meanwhile, italy's foreign minister has branded nato's 2011 operation in libya as a failure which brought instability to the region. and that lead,
11:23 am
at least i believe that it was a very serious mistake to let conducted be killed and may not have been the champion of democracy. but as long as he was eliminated, political instability arrived in libya and africa while to get more on this right now or and across, live to our, to contributor rachel marston. hi there, rachel. can you give us some background about how europe's libya narrative has changed over the years? well, libby, a former italian colony is still a totally mess right now. suffering from the result of a french and british lead invasion that kills its leader in the market. alfie back in october, 2011. and what did emily get out of that? a flood of migrants. it's not like it off. he didn't. warren europe telling french tv ahead of the nato bombing into the top of his country. that if he went down, then italy and france specifically would be flooded with millions of migrants because would be a played a role in securing and stabilize the africa and the mediterranean. and that's
11:24 am
exactly what ended up happening. the flow of migration into europe is still a big problem with the death of hundreds of margaret's and the central mother trade in so far this year alone, lydia is become a haven for human smuggling and slavery at a launching pad for migration into europe and italy is really bearing the brunt of that, as we've seen recently with all these, this capsizing in the mediterranean and driving of migrants. not quite the freedom and democracy that nato had promised. it's great to be lead in free libya at midnight. tonight, a successful chapter in nato history will come to an end. you have already started writing a new chapter in libya's history. we acted to protect you together, we succeeded, leave. it is finally free from being causing to break out from ms. rata to western mountains, and to truthfully, it's like, i sounds like he's talking about a whole other planet. we had to deal with gadhafi for libya to serve as a choke point of sorts for african migration heading towards europe. he promised to
11:25 am
intercept any migraines who ended up in the mediterranean and send them back to libya before they could enter italian waters. but then italy ended up endorsing the western backed libyan rebels against the da fee and well, all bets were off for the libyan leader. he was like, okay, fine moran, you have you handle it for some reason. italy was just shocked. that could off fee was no longer willing to play ball and i pulled the migrant intersection deal after it. really started cheering for regime change against them, putting desperate people on a boat and pushing them off to sea, sending them to dying to meet it, to rainy and is something very close to being another crime against humanity for which the regime will have to answer or the western or branding of those libby and rebels. as heroes disliked the syrian rebels, he fought against president bashar al assad before detective and joining up with
11:26 am
other g hodges against the west, in some cases or the c i a trade and back. so solomon lighten led the taliban during the us cobar oregon's associates. and i've got a stand in the eighty's that gave rise to al qaeda. we all know what happened with them. 911. that's all i need to say. or more recently like the training as our neo nazis western training back to storing. well, it's to be continued all western back and all western tools of regime change, who then became, or risk becoming still taking time bonds that could blow back at any time against western interest. no saw that coming ages ago. gadhafi. now listen, you people of nato, your bombing a wall, which student the way of african migration to europe, and in the way of all kinds of terrorists. this was libya. you're breaking it, your radiance, and you will burn in hell for the thousands of migrants from africa and for support me. i'll tie that. it will be so i never lie and i do not lie now. so
11:27 am
there is another aspect to this tragedy. the french financial crime, prosecutors here in paris have told the french press back in may, that they will ask a judge to try former french president and you call us tough cozy for passive corruption. criminal association, illegal financing of electro campaigns and concealment of embezzled public fines. in libya of olivia so alt, your motives for i was thinking, darcy would certainly help to explain what african leaders had said way back when about western refusal to even less than take charge of this. libyan conflicts on their own confident in the view or in light of a peaceful resolution. they'll likely be to be due to the by the name to the mission author to kind of
11:28 am
say, well, what are the by the go button. but the middle of the bladder review. so what's the take away here? turns out that italy did not stand up against its western allies to protect its very own interest in libya back then. and it continues to just go along to get along with pretty much everything that us lab nato dies to the continued detriment of its very own interest, and certainly those of its citizens. alright, archie, contributor rachel marston, thanks a lot for bringing us those details. that's all for this. our stick around for more new isn't just about 30 minutes here on our to international the
11:29 am
hey, joe, it's a big silly organization. it claims to be defensive military lines. but at the same time, claims it must constantly expand. add to this, the life is quite projects, stability. in reality, it predicts instability and in security and made rushing its primary data. the,
