those in power want to keep it that way. the hello, i'm a noah chan. you're tuned into modus operandi. the highly anticipated bricks 2023 summit is about to get underway in south africa. in this episode, we'll get you a preview on all that at stake among the world's top. emerging economies is the alliance the united front it's themes spearheading, the multi polar world for the 21st century, or will the old western block blunt its success? we'll talk about it. all right, let's get into the m o. the reveal russia, india, china, south africa. collectively, they are known as the bricks block. the economic alliance is quickly becoming

a force to be reckoned with, making the old g 7 a little on easy, especially since the easy acronym might be gaining a few more letters in the coming years as nations clamor to join. already the block represents some 40 percent of the world's total economy. come august 22nd. all eyes will be on south africa. here to give us a view into what's happening on the ground in south africa. ahead of this summit is journalist and senior advocate correspondent for support tech news international the be so la hoco, thanks for being with us to be so safe for having me minute. so 1st, this latest break summit is getting more attention from western media than you know, past summits a lot of unusual circumstances surrounding this one. so let's 1st begin with the decision by vladimir putin not to attend this year summit in per send. the foreign

minister, sir de la prob, will attend in his absence. it's possible putting may video conference in, but that's unclear as of right now. so many speculate his reason for not going physically is that he does not want to put south african president serial from a post in an awkward position with the i c. c. due to that arrest warrant. so despite from a post publicly state, a south africa would not abide by that warrant. what can you tell us about that situation? festival, it should be noted. does that to you know, some of your cases that as a signature treat to the room statute. and as a result, we as a country have been trying to find ways in the, in the role in which we could perhaps host, you know, at a break. some it with it is, one of the testing has been clear, considered to be the main play as a flight in the a pretend, who,

whose presence would have had made amazing impact. and so 5 decisions which have to be taken to self africa had expressed interest in wanting to have mr to, to add to the brakes to summit. but in so far as things are concerned with because the i c, c weren't as much as you put it would have had placed the subject in prison. and so i'm up was up in an awkward position, a position that in place should the may of had been international expectation, a particular emanating from the west to, to have the president of russia iris did as in any case of africa within goals, that lens and you know, given up proximity to rush. yep. so the decision that was taken has been, you know, labeled as a mutual agreement through mutual agreement between the south africa address. yet it has been agreed that said mister bruton,

we're not attend this sunday in prisons, but we'll have cheese. uh for a minute. the $711.00 roof in attendance and they have stated is that mister putin will to be attending the summit is through a video link. and you know, president sort of help us to confirm the south africa's readiness to host the 15th . a brief to summit historic summit between bricks nations, brazil, russia, india, china is the fact that it will be the 1st brief submitted to be hosted in the us in the sense that the emotions so also as a corporate 19 pandemic. and the subsequent a global restrictions. now, if the president has, in recent months and weeks, has a number of consultations in terms of hosting the brakes summit. and at the home of this, these consultations was how would the issue around the russian president,

the address, and after exploiting a number of a statute, treat south africa given find a solution that's the only option was so that to the south african president, the silver i'm a plus a, and gauge russian president plug in the uprooted. and so that, you know, they made agree mutually, that he should participate through video think through from russia. and one thing for sure is that to a russian delegation which is present in south africa, had stressed that, that they wanted us to pretend to be in attendance. and that's the only option this of africa had, as well as other bricks nations. the list suggestions that it'd be taken to turn up to china responded and said they so wait to hear what other putnam said they can not take the decision alone. and another, a suggestion,

especially by the deputy minister assessor for deputy president of africa, was that to the reps, it'd be hosted in the neighboring country. but logistically, is that what of it to, you know, placed, or presentations under pressure given the time. right now from one invited world leader to one that is not french president a manual ma crohn. he made a public comment about wanting to attend the summit. france is not a member state. why would my chrome wish to attend? but if we're being totally blunt, a lot of other people want to be invited as well. exactly. friends is not. and then the state, you know, it's the affiliated with countries within the g 7. and one would wonder why would metro and want to come and participate. but one on

a list that had suggested, he said it could be because the may be a friend within the g 7, it could be that the g 7 is no longer have forced to be reckoned with. and the brakes and measuring community sessions in a tentative low country wants to be left behind. and therefore, friends is a way of a shift into a potter takes. and as a result, they would like to come in, listen, see whether do they fit into the formation? it may be that they don't want to be left behind at the want to be part and parcel of this formation. but they would like to be present at one of the meetings in particular self africa. but one of why now that they had been a series of as in meetings,

be full. why is it that they want to express interest at this particular point in time? ad suggestions with that is because interest also shifty and the imagine block breaks with countries such as russia, china, india, and brazil, south africa as well as others who have expressed interest. it's from season opportunity of not be left behind in a shift into a positive. so that could translate into one big force that will have its own treatment. tenants ends in place, which i knew and what opportunities of investment of the forefront to exploit. because the is a lot of heavy do. so 5 front is concerned in africa where it had been dominant. and as a result, you don't want to be seen to be left behind. and being part of that head human,

which is once they the well we should, you need paula. and the concept of multi pull out of the t is a selling point at this point in time, especially for friends, the seeing that the countries we said to him that this multi potable world of those countries who had been sanctioned yet to death grow it meant over resources, and therefore this means bricks is a force to be reckoned with. but others have stated that may be friends, may not be present at the meeting. maybe they could be met with hostility by the member countries within the bridge summation or if they come to the breaks that need to then they may be given us some sort of it. yeah. as of service of all, they'll be just us to stay at home and listen it to the brick summit. threats that

read all the information that will be fix related around. but then, and again, for friends, this is an efficient a t and it is up to the brick fleet is whether to they also accept friends since the court to come to the summit. because one thing for sure is that after this, friends may want to be another force in the brakes class of nations which will be joining the brakes and making community are coming up next to the old economic guard known as the g 7 views brooks. as a direct competitor to economic and germany for the old guard seek to disrupt this and young alliance before it matures. we'll discuss it when we return with the be so help those sit tight, demo will be right back. the

the, [000:00:00;00] the in 1492. this evening, christopher columbus rates the bahamas,

and discovers the new world for europe. the wealth of america and its fast territories. cosby envy of the europeans, especially the spaniards and the portuguese. they sought after taking over these lands. however, there lived indigenous peoples with a high culture and their own nation who was there to barbaric colonization of america, which went down in history under the name of con deece that lasted for more than 100 years. in 1521 care design, cortez is kind of due to the doors captured and destroyed the capital of the aztec empire. daniels practically massacring the local population. following them, francisco pizarro is gun case. the doors destroyed the inc. empire as a result of spanish aggression, the ancient maya civilization collapse, suppressing the resistance of the indians. the invaders carried out mass executions . the horrendous genocide was aggravated by the diseases that the europeans had

brought to america. the number of the indigenous population decreased at 16 times from 25 to one and a half 1000000 people from keystone became one of the largest demographic disaster fees of mankind and remains an indelible bloody stain in the history of the european colonial empires. the welcome back to the ammo. i'm in know a chance with the recent military coup in new share. the eyes of the west are now turning to the african continent. some states, such as france threatening military intervention as preparations are underway in south africa to prepare for the 1st in person brick summit since cobit south african journalist and analyst that'd be so la hoko is back with us to discuss these developments. so to be so this is still of

a fairly young alliance. i mean at least relative to the g 7, for example. but the g 7 views the block as something of a threat to existing economic norms. brooks have even discussed new, innovative banking systems to counter swift. so, is breaks a threat to the existing global financial system and the creation of a common breaks currency. you know, the new development bank, festive g 7. this is, i am the, this is the world bank speaks volumes because it's not only the young countries, a country which is as old as 2 years old or 5 years. we should have come together these a superpowers in that the, the regents, they are hi judgements. in the regions,

the really the lot of politics and the number of countries around, and i to upgrade to extend dependent on them. and given this information it's, it poses a threat. some might say, no, it doesn't. it does in the sense that, that new talent, new skill is also come into, the full breaks is going to be employed within its formation is going to be improved within is region. and in these bricks countries those countries of vill, oh, own educated accountants. engineers, the engineering of the currency, the engineering of bricks, the engineering of the bank,

which is already in establishment speaks volumes. it should be noted if it is a threat, it's still going to be learning more and more and more countries into his capacity until it's so bloated that they'll be applications still reaching approval. so it's a, it's a threat. and it says that the polls a shifty phase door on a pole which is standing alone in unit polarity. the load is not bipolar. it's margie paula. this threat emerges with a brock that's to become one. the big standing trees with many leaves and the trees foundation is so deep rooted that you will be

unable to shift it some say, it's not a threat. may need you to a, a logical historical as well as looking at how long it has been in existence versus us developments such as the g 7, the world bank, so on and so forth. but that's neither here nor there, because we can't then look at the governments we set in place breaks historically chronologically. they have been in governance for a very long time in their respective countries. and the success of those countries have had to do with how the governance has been structured by

the very same people who have come together as brits. so using that background into grow, we breaks. the threats is so huge that you could see other countries who have been saying that this formation is not going to wick. you could see that would add to bricks if adult you want those the date themselves because of the suggestions because of what bricks has on paper in terms of exchanging notes. but let's read between each of in multi, that's ready. we need to view that in a very positive light because the mere fact that it has been hated by regional head gym. that's already it's sending signals to a uni paula,

a legit type of wealth which had been in existence for too long. and the ideals multiplan, r t. i lo should not be doubted because it speaks to the new age. now, in the us, some of the, the biggest bricks players, namely, russia and china are deemed enemy states. is there any fear among the other states that the us may soon view them as enemies as well because of their alliance and brooks, or perhaps even apply pressure on them in some way to kind of put distance in that alliance or the even disrupt it. i think they could have done that, and it would be very devilish to want to wait for the brakes to develop and then start from the on other countries who my friends and whom i assigned to,

to become part of the brakes. and for the music, the brakes have been information for, for such a long time without the west disruption speaks to democracy. these countries have not just met because they decided that no, we want to flourish, or wherever they can put it to college. and they have met because that a pro se much as a fit and to colonialism and to put their lives in an n t. the relatives they have met because they have no to the other formations, have not worked with him. and what could work today with a different ideology and not this ideology that had been forced it by the west

to fulfilled on for many years with these structural adjustment programs that they have been improved. what are the nations with a taken date from the banks? and if they're going to be founding on those other states, then that has to be lost. the bricks is going to adopt and customize them and use them. so that should who was considered to be big brother ones to impose sanctions on the other state so that they become dysfunctional and not become part of assist international system. we should be able to mitigate the selves from that as breaks. and i know those are some of the discussions which are being adequately explored to see how they can safe got themselves from the end of the table and know what it breaks has so far

been caught off guard. it just says that we go the modus operandi by the way, so that if they don't like a position which one country takes with a country which they do not like they would want to subject them to such and restrictions in front of them totally as well. as get others in bold, electric international community to thrown on to others and dictate to that, to impose sanctions dictate to them. not to like either as a country and some data, not like to follow the same mentality. so brakes is a way of such that's why they have also said that will be surprising us once we get what will be said, and i'm sure there will be an alternative to the 5th system because the new

currency, it has to have its own international trade system, so this means that we will be having laws that protect us from any country that wants to side with the country. that feels that the brakes formation as a new kid on the brock is now starting to become a worldwide threat. so much that we have to subject to them to sit and restrictions breakfast, ready for that. and as we say that the kids on the block, it's not in the, you know, and let's are all full figuratively speaking. bricks as a formation has of school systems in place. and the mandate is so strong that

these governments isn't jealous about bricks itself. as far as so many countries want to be part of it. it's been so you've got it. is the 5 countries wanted they could stay together and say, you know what, the way we feel jealous about this would like you to see success in the 1st 5 years . and we're talking about his success. that is an waivery, a success that continues on one big integrity of thing as silver in states. we have come together and we are aware that in this ecosystem could be another fiction which move on to fraud and us, or because one of our friends here is considered the perio of which among bricks countries, is that sprint, we know is not the power i believe means well in its actions in the international

system. now, as we wrap up, you are in south africa, the host nation. what are your expectations of this summit? what do you hope to see? come from this highly anticipated meeting? just a bit disappointed. so if i forget, i'd like to pinch you this picture so off we can. yeah, so if africa i'm telling you had mr. polluted floating to south africa for this meeting, and do, you know, come in presence as opposed to a video think? i think the airport where he will be landing would have a good list of africans who wanted to see him walk in, you know, walk in the touch, walk on mother, lead, south africa, our my, the land because of how much they love it. so you to such a restriction,

we still understand but just wanted to pete you that picture that the these, this feeling of excitement in south africa about the, the breaks of it. and so that because look forward, they did, they would like to share what, what is it the brakes is coming with as an alternative. and these are a lot of explaining to be done, especially by to communicate as jenna this, the media has this responsibility of customer rating information and filtering it to the communities, bricks, communities, the more especially in sending the message out there, because others will be looking into listening in wanted to feel what this meeting is all about. the summit, which has been spoken about widely in the media ad. so that's

because i would also like to know what is it. and for that given, is that countries to whom they have come together with and for the effect that you know they've come together with from countries, gives us the south africans. a glimmer of hope. went unemployment to sky rocketing in the country. young people have been asking what opportunities will be today. and given the fact that each and every been to stuck in bricks has the portfolio. whether it's it, minister of communication, finance ministers, ministers of a tradition of the faith of corporate governance. the owner of the responsibility isn't the ministers of employment and what this will need is a lot of free t, so that will be site and for bricks inhabitants. we putting social cultural exchange of people to people,

exchange mechanics and that will be put in place. very interesting to hear what the regular people of the host country are thinking and, and feeling about this meeting. thank you so much for that insight. the be so la hoko is the senior advocate correspondent for split nick news international. all right, that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that digs deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila. chad. thank you for 2, and again, we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o,

the, [000:00:00;00] the now, you need use visa, typically from here, said to me, i think, you know, what kim's, in the book then actually should be very did you showcase in genes, nathaniel? so who's going into the, by the ways that the boys the,

the most new and that'll be for them imagery at this uh, florida doesn't want that extra them for the that the it is really civilians killed in. are there seriously wounded a shooting close to the southern westbank city of hebron. tomas has played responsibility for the attack of africa supports the expansion of the membership of the value of briggs extends beyond the interest of his current members. south africa endorse as new members in the breaks community stressing the need for expansion. adding the blocks important succeeds the current borders and with just one day to go until the much anticipated break summit. 4 countries are seeking
