we'll get you a preview on all that's at stake among the world's top. emerging economies is the alliance. the united front. it seems 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 brazil, 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 represent 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 the summit is journalist and senior africa correspondent for sport, tech news international. the visa le hoco. thanks for being with us to be so safe for having me minute. so 1st, this latest brick summit is getting more attention from western media than you know past i'm, it's 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 person, the foreign minister, sir de la prov, will attend in his absence. it's possible prudence may video conference in, but that's unclear as of right now. so many speculate his reason for not going physically is that he did not want to put south african president 0 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? first of all, it should be noted, does that to, you know, some of your k is, is that as a sickness treat to the road 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. so i'm it with 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 the south africa had expressed interest in wanting to have mr to, to add to the breaks 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 south african president. so i'm gonna put 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 and plans. and, you know, given up proximity to russia, 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, he's for a minute. the 711 roof in attendance. and they have stated that mister putin was. ready to be attending the summit is through a video link and you know,

president sort of help us to confirm the south africans readiness to host the 15 bricks. to summit historic summit between bricks, nations, brazil, russia, india. china is the fact that it will be the 1st brief submits to be hosted in the post in the sense that the emergence, also as a carpet 19 pandemic, and the subsequent a global restrictions. now, if the president has been recent months and weeks held 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 the only option was so that to the south african president, the silver rama plus a and gauge russian president plug in the uprooted. and so that, you know,

they made a great new city that he should participate through video think from russia. and one thing for sure is that the russian delegation, which is present in south africa extras 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 suggestions that it'd be taken to turn up to china responded and said they saw which to hear what other putnam said they can not take the decision alone. and another, a suggestion, especially by the deputy minister of the sofa, a deputy president of africa, was that uh the reps, it'd be hosted in the neighboring country, but logistically, is that would 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 this summit. france is not a member of state. why would my chrome wish to attend? but if we're being totally blind, 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. imagine it community such as an alternative,

no country wants to be left behind. and therefore, fronts is a way of a shift into a potter takes. and as a result, they would like to come in this and see whether do they fit into the formation. it may be that they don't want to be left behind and they want to be putting paso of this formation. but they would like to be present at one of the meetings in particular self africa. but one asks why, though they had been a series of as in meetings before, or 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 the season opportunity of not being left behind in a shift into a politics that, 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, they don't want to be seen to be left behind. and being part of it has human, which is once they the weld, which is uni paula. and the concept of multiple 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 paula willed of those

countries who had been sanctioned yet to death grow. it meant over resources, and therefore this means breaks is a force to be reckoned with. but others have stated that maybe friends may not be present at the meeting. maybe they could be met with hostility by other than the countries within that separate formation. or if they come to the breaks that meeting, then they may be given that 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 the information that will be fix related around, but then in a gainful front. so this isn't a position a t and it is up to the brick fleet is whether to they also accept friends at court to come to the summit. because one thing for sure is that after this, friends may wants to be another 4th in the brief costs of nations which

will be joining the brakes. amazing community are coming up next to the old economic guard known as the g. 7 views brooks as a direct competitor to economic gemini 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 canada is outsourced, its foreign policy to washington. and washington's agenda is one of global hegemony . washington will not tolerate, and i think it, they're not even. they're not even subtle about this, you know, they're,

they will not tolerate a global arrival. the welcome back to the ammo. i'm in noah. 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 the be, so this is still 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 bricks a threat to the existing global financial system? and the creation of the common breaks currency. you know, the new development bank, effective g 7. this is, i am as this is the world bank speaks volumes because it's not only young countries, a country which is as old as 2 years old is 5 years. we should have come together these a superpowers in that they in the regents. they all had humans in the very regions. they really did a lot of power and the number of countries around them i'd 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 its region. and in these bricks countries, those countries have their own 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 freight 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 the approval. so it's a, it's a threat in a sense that the polls a shifting this door on a pole which is standing alone and unit polarity the load is not bipolar. it's margie paula. this threat emerges with the broke steps to become one. the big standing tree with many leaves and dead trees. foundation is so deep rooted that you will be unable to shift it some say it's not. district may be due to criminal logic call history call 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 could then look at the governments which are 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 breaks. so using that background into grow the brakes, the threat 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 breaks if adult human does that they 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 lectured. we need to view that in a very positive light because the mere fact that it has been hated by a regional head gym that's already it's sending signals to a uni paula that lead that type of wealth which had been in existence for too long. and the ideals multiplan, i repeat, low, should not be doubted because it speaks to the new age. now in the us, um,

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 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 being on other countries who my friends and whom i assigned to to become part of the brakes. and for the me effect, the brakes have been information for, for such a long time without the with disruption

speaks to democracy. these countries have not just met because they decided to that know we want to finish or wherever they can put it to college. and they have met because that a pro se much as a fit into colonialism and to perry l as in an n t. the route is that they have met because they have noted that other formations have not worked with it. and what could work today with a different ideology and not this ideology that had been forced it by the west for so long for many years, with the structural adjustment programs that they have been imposing. 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 knowles, the bricks is going to adopt and customize them and use them. so that should who was considered to be big brother, ones can post sections of the state so that they become dysfunctional and not become part of a shift international system. we should be able to mitigate the selves from that as bricks. and i know those are some of the discussions which have been adequately explored to see how they can safe got themselves from the inevitable ad. no wanted breaks has so far been caught off guard. it just says that we go, the modus operandi by the west is 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 sits and restrictions in front of them totally as well. as get other than both direct the international community to phone to address 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 they will be surprising us once we get what will be said. and i'm sure there will be an alternative to the 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 a 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 literal form, figuratively speaking, bricks as a formation has a school systems in place. and the mandate is so strong that these governments even 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 taking a lot of 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, there 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. a 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 the 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 africans. yes, of africa. i'm telling you, had missed uprooted, flown to south africa for this meeting. and do you know, come in presence as opposed to a video? i think i think the airport where he will be landing would have a good little stuff off weekends who wanted to see him walk it, you know, walk in that touch, walk on mother, lead south africa, our my, the land because of how much they loved. so due to such a restriction we, we, we still understand, but just wanted to pay to that picture that the, the, the feeling of excitement in suffolk, about to the bricks of it. and so that's 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 communicate as jenna this, the media has this responsibility of custody. the inflammation and filtering is to the communities. bricks could be the teaser more efficiently and sending the message out there because others will be looking at that listening in once and 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 strong countries, gives us a sort of regions, a glimmer of hope went unemployment to sky rocketing in the country. young

people have been asking what opportunities will be they. and given the fact that each and every business that in bricks has a portfolio. whether it's it, minister of communication, finance ministers, ministers of a tradition of the phase of corporate governance. the owner of the responsibility isn't the ministers of employment. and what this will need is a lot of treaties that that will be site or, and for bricks inhabitants. we touching social, cultural exchange for 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 visa hoko is the senior advocate correspondent for split nick news international. alright,

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

of the south africa supports the expansion of the membership of rates, vary or briggs extends beyond the interest of his current members, south africa. suppose bringing potential new members into the brakes. grief of nations seem to blow ups significance on a global level. as long as the positives cardboard, as it isn't using these ready civilian is killed and another seriously wounded in a shooting close to the west bank city. all pep, wrong stuff to is really defense forces solve a 15 year old of a skinny and boys. and they had been a separate incidents of the we kind of thing and insensitive, kept on china and iraq's new towards greater cooperation in economic trade and infrastructure.
