of the robot must protect his phone, existence was on the what is the ukraine complex? really all about we're told is about democracy. other say it's about the reuse baseboard or whatever that me in fact there is nothing noble about this conflict. it's just another huge gripped those in power. want to keep it that way. the hello, i'm a no 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's a state 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 reveal russia, india, china, south africa. collectively, they are known as the bricks block. the economic alliance is quickly becoming a forced 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 route in south africa. ahead of this summit is

journalist and senior advocate correspondent for split next news international to be so la 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 before administer, sir de la prov, will attend in his absence. it's possible put in may video conference in, but that's unclear as of right now. and many speculate his reason for not going physically is that he does not want to put south african president serial from a poster 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 coast that, you know, at a break summit with it is one of the testing has been clear, considered to be the main play as a flight to be 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 warrant as much as you put it would have had placed the south african president. so i'm gonna put that 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. that 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 the 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 a 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 15th breaks the stomach 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 the president has in 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 to the russian president, beatrice, 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 the n gage, russian president plug in the pretend. and so that, you know, they made agree you pretty, 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, 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 suggestions that it'd be taken to turn up to china responded and said they saw weeks to hear what other putnam said they can not take that decision alone. and another, a suggestion, especially by the deputy minister of the sofa, a deputy president of africa, was that to 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 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 maybe 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 emerging community, such as an alternative, low country wants to be left behind. and therefore, friends is a way of

a shift into a politics. and as a result, they would like to come in, listen, see whether to be fits into the formation. it may be that they don't want to be left behind. and the 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, of the 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. so for africa, as well as others who have expressed interest,

it's from season up with trinity of not be left behind in a shift into a politics that, that could translate into one big force that will have its own treatment, 10 isms in place, which i knew and what opportunities of investment of the forefront to exploit, because the isn't lots of heavy diversifies 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 the head schuman, which is once laser weld, we should, you need to pull it up. 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 in this multi paula world of those countries who had been sanctioned yet to death grow in men 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 either member countries within that separate from nation. or if they come to the break for a meeting, and then they may be given us some sort of it. yeah. as of service, or 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, relate to the round, but then in a gainful front. so 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 breaks costs 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 gemini, put the old guard seek to disrupt this 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 the global arrival. the

store not surely wouldn't be the last of the school anyway, not much of a lot of that's that's my personal opinion. the frontal and much anyone beach from my, from your citizenship time, it will show my total induced to picture. you still have them over when approximately the students over the way 9 that is a c p, low integer due to it here too. but it is good any issue, but have a crew to really but get to the my money and the law school and the from me id comfortable especially mute them full of semester floor and it, well i really appreciate your, your dish that's i just felt because this is the 1st put it towards rates and they

should more with pleasure much more points to it. but it is, you get to he will boys at the present except that they did when you cause they were made to the joys 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, the 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 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 to get the visa superpowers in that the, the regents. they all had humans in the regions. they really did a lot of power and the number of countries around them uh 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 target, new skill is also coming to the full brakes is going to be employee within its formation is going to be employed within is region. and in these bricks countries those countries have their own own educated accountants. engineers. the engineering of the currency, the engineering of bricks, to the engineering of the bank, which is already in establishment speaks volumes. it should be noted if it as a threat, it is still going to be larry more and more and more countries into his

capacity until it's so bloated that will be applications still reaching approval. so it's a, it's a threat in a sense that the poles a shifting this door on a pole which is standing alone and unit priority. the load is not bipolar. it's margie porter. this threat emerges with a brock. that's to become one. the big standing trees with many leaves and dead trees. foundation is so deep rooted that you will be unable to shifted. some say, it's not a threat. may need you to chronological

historical as well as looking at how long it has been in existence versus us develop and such as the g 7, the world bank, so on and so forth. but that's neither here nor the day, 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, he breaks 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 in to breaks if adult you want those, the dates 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 hit by regional head gibbons already is sending signals to a uni paula lead that type of wealth which had been in existence for too long. and the ideals multiplan r t,

i low should not be doubted because it speaks to the new age. so 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 to even disrupt it. i think they could have done that, and it would be very devilish to want to wait. so brooks 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 me effect, the bricks has been information for, for such a long time, with out the width,

disruption speaks to democracy. these countries have not just met because they've 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 into colonialism and to per l as in an n t. the relatives they have met because they have no to the 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 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 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 sanctions on other states so that they become dysfunctional and not become part of a 50 international system. we should be able to mitigate the selves from that as bricks. and i know those are some of the discussions which are being adequately explored to see how they can safe got themselves from the inevitable and know why the brakes has sofa been called of god. it just says that we go the modus operandi by the west, 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 other countries whom they do 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 one piece. yeah. what will be said, and i'm sure there will be an alternative to the 5th system because the new currency has to have its own international trade system.

so this means that, well, we'll 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 world wide 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 its own systems in place. and the mandate is so strong that these governments even jealous about bricks itself. that's why so many countries want to be part of it is been, so you've got it, or 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 the success. that is an waivery, a success that continues on one mentality of saying as silver in states, we have come together. and we are aware that in this ecosystem could be another fiction which may want to fraud with us, or because one of our friends here is considered a part of which among bricks, countries that sprint we know is not the power, right? yeah. but only 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 figured i'd like to paint you this picture. so last weekend . yeah. self africa. i'm telling you had mr. prude to float to south africa for this meeting. and do you know commune presence as opposed to a video link? i think the airport where he will be landing would have it, but most of the weekends who wanted to see him walk in, you know, walk in the touch, walk on mother, lead of africa, our mother land because of how much they loved. so due to such a restriction, we still understand, but i just wanted to pay to that picture that the these, this feeling of excitement in south africa about to the brick summit. and so that's

because look forward, they did, they would like to share what, what is it? the bricks is coming list 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 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 at the 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 would also like to know what is it in for that given that countries to whom that they have come together with. and for the me effect that, you know, they've come together with from countries,

gives us this of africans. a glimmer of hope. went unemployment to sky rocketing in the country. young people have been asking what opportunities will be say. and given the fact that each and every been to stuck 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 old or the responsibility isn't the ministers of employment. and what this will be is a lot of t t. so that will be site 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 to be so la hoko

is the senior advocate correspondent for sputnik 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

what is the ukraine conflict? really all about we're told is about democracy. other say it's about the read space gordon, or whatever that me. in fact, there is nothing noble about this conflict. it's just another huge grip. those in power want to keep it that way. a. 9 6 tiffany: even im dunbar foolish for the film was so obviously be the is were on the 5th floor when they me let me know if that might be a matter for for the sale on the front of the

stuff which is set to the south african supports the expansion of the membership of the value or breaks extends beyond the interest of his cut into members. south africa simples, bringing new members into the bricks. group of nations sustained the block significance on a global level. as long as the positives current board is so kids presidents and molly's prime minister speak out against a potential farm and a chance eventually need to say could be stabilize the entire west african region. the most of the solid china and iraq and move towards quite a cooperation in economic trade on infrastructure areas assessed by dod seats, grades and vista.
