about the kicking off today, the much anticipated brick summit in south africa. make sure you sit back and catch all the key action with us special coverage coming from our studio. i see you friends in china is, but of a conflict in ukraine is likely to be among the top topics for discussion at, at the summit of south africa's form. i'm foster to america shared with us his thoughts on the crisis. also addressing the role of south and west and pok know, is going on behind the event because of the nature of the disorder with the language. and you know, on the same thing, it is quite clear that the say will from 0, the ukrainian drug to attack on the most core region has been

ported, as we understand with no casualties reported by efficient also in the program, in china and iraq, moving towards greater cooperation in the economy, trade infrastructure development with baghdad distances itself from the previous talk that the by tuesday morning sun, these guys here at moscow and today's a day the history books might very well be talking about in the future. it's good to have you with so the count down, it has begun now to the style of the much anticipated brick summit kicking off today in johannesburg. the major j a political event, attracting a top level officials, businessman politicians, and well bright minds from all over the world with multi polarity and adjust, swelled at the very top of the subject on

the now the indian department is on the right drop mode and he's on his way to drive it to your on his boat and just head office departure, he's praise the role of breaks and promoting times between nations all around the world. brakes has been to see the strong cooperation agenda across various sectors . we value that breaks has become a platform for discussing and deliberating on issues of concern for the entire global self include in development, imperative and reform of the multilateral system. the summit will provide a useful of what c d. c for breaks to identify future areas of cooperation and reviews to do single development. so as one might imagine, the 1st day we'll see statements from the 5 heads of the brakes states with another 2 liters having already arrive and drawn his bug just a bit earlier. changing pain arrived overnight, receiving

a warm welcome from the host countries president serial from a photo at the airport. as off of the arrival of the brazilian president lou at the silver, the south african foreign minister and a lady, pandora was also that degree at the latest. and the russian president vladimir putin will attend the summit via video conference with the countries foreign, minnesota. so good luck rudolf expected to arrive. very sure thing among the issues to be discussed at the summit is that of a financial corporation, for example, with our country seeking to basically break away from the international dollar dominated system of the creation of a common breaks currency is likely to top the meetings agenda over now to watch these don't know, quarter explaining what makes that idea an alternative car, in the se attractive to many countries worldwide have a nice a. with the rise of a multi polar world comes hope for a future free from us dollar dominant set of global order. where when,

when cooperation reigned supreme, for many around the world's bricks is the vehicle that can turn that dream into a reality with an independent world wide currency. i dream of having a common currency for countries to using transactions so that we could be independent from the us dollar. it can not be that we couldn't have more freedom for conducting business. i dream of griggs having its own currency like the european union, 0 for now the dollars global hegemony is indisputable, with the greenback involved and 88 percent of all international transactions and russia, the world's most sanctioned country, has good reason to want to change the game last year its banks were kicked out of swift, then half of its overseas reserves to the tune of $330000000000.00 were frozen. it's all part of what moscow says is the dollar being used as a weapon. i have no doubt that using a rich experience in government working knowledge in this area, you will do your best to develop this institution, which in my opinion is very important today is not easy to do so when the current

conditions bearing in mind what is happening with the global finance is when the use of the dollar as a political instrument will go inside the u. s. dollar has been great, it is credits and proved on trustworthy as a main reserve currency. it has been proven does. if the eastern countries suddenly hasn't desires or punish someone, it will abuse its position without hesitation. it's not just russia looking to break away from dollar dependents to alongside moscow, beijing and brazil. yeah, have moved towards greater use of national currencies and international transactions. brazil's reinstated president blue or the silver has long advocated for deeper reliance on bricks and china considers dollar dominance to be the main source of global instability, the who gemini, of the us dollars, the main source of instability and uncertainty in the world's economy. me during the call, the 19 ponds that make the united states a be used as global financial position and inject it's really us of dollars into

the global markets, leaving other countries, especially emerging economies to pay the price. a prime example of that instability is afghanistan. the united nation says 6 milli and a half dams are at risk of starving to death and the organization's calling for $770000000.00 in immediate humanitarian aid. still, washington refuses to release the $3500000000.00 of pros and asked and assets that could ease the suffering of the aft and people a problem that would not exist if those reserves weren't held in dollars in the united states. it's one of many similar situations that have left people looking to breaks. as a more humane alternative, the new development bank is taking that decision, but at least 50 percent of new lending would be a lot of currency. so i think bridge has been the captain. this to go out to create a financial independence and not being held hostage by one or 2 currencies. mostly and i've had only some entries should proceed to establish new financial mechanisms

which will prove that it is not only the physical trans. he'll the existing laws that can replace the dollar. the west global influence is in decline. countries formerly and the periphery are now asserting themselves the world is undergoing immense change with a multi polar economic future on the horizon. it's likely that this change will be for the better for everyone. and aside from financial, the cooperation, the calculating ukraine is also it's helping the agenda. and we discussed it all with a full most of african. i'm about to go to america to actually label that a proxy war waged by the collective west against russia. you can watch the folding of you throughout the day here on asi, international orthodoxies or to come to the meantime. a quick preview. as the, when there was a decision to most things sort of the security concept because the collective

west could not have the a way that and they decided to take the meta to the genetic and assembly, which is adverse events that and all they need to. and none of us to see that to own their own site, load the right side of the city. and therefore what we're doing is testify and will end up doing these recess. and all those eh, there's a new sheets that we push that doesn't really know the reason for housing and non findings or is energy or in a serious situation like that one which is also reflection or the free load. the security concern to take is, have responsibility in precisely because of the nature of this war that we're dealing with. and you know, on the same thing, it's quite clear that to say, well, for example, and of course a, and we have to take a decision as to where we stand on these issues. and once we decided to

take go a decision, we as a country and we became singled out a 100, then they did. the attendance vote says what i love them, vote for many of the others i've seen like us, others vote the dates, but the one who get picked. why did set does it go for decently? so as the board is defense on us, why are you doing this? and it's sitting at that example. and so we have to take all the sectors into consideration. remember, people break sometimes. people think that we take this decisions mainly and purely on the basis. they forget that we also have a nice day the

and they will be so many more individuals in the coming days or what, how to international is we bring you all the light is from the 15 side, you will break summit in south africa and then they saw special coverage of the global event directly from our oxy studio at the venue itself. the or it's what the story is here with the program is the i took as president though to jump out and no one has spoken out against the potential for in the military. and you mentioned, indeed you're saying it could be stabilize the entire west african reach, identifying the decision of the economic community, a west african states to intervene militarily in the chair right. following this decision, molly and booking at fast. so also wanted such a mil to intervention in new jersey is to declare war against them mailed through an intervention and to share what means spreading instability to many african

countries. meanwhile, thousands to to the streets in the new jerry and capital in support of the reason the military choose in the country. proud guidance, event their anger against the sanctions imposed by regional and foreign powers protest as the charges slogans waved flags holding up diamonds pointing for an end to sanctions and demanding dialogue. a people in the crowd, sir, they've a well that come to oppose any military or economic intervention in that country of general. following the cool by the new authorities for dialogue, we believe that this is what is needed. yes to dialogue but not toward the aim of these demonstration is to show the mobilization of the people of new jeer against the anti social measures of echo us. we cannot understand how a country that has no access to the seats to be cut out from food medicines and all other products, even from electricity to the point of considering mutual aggression against the

country. all these in favor of a class and some individuals on of any money 1st uh we have come to demonstrates to show our joy and to our support for the soldiers. we're behind them. we are ready to die for our country. we are against the military intervention, of course nonsense. the imposing on us inhabits and dialogue is very important. i am sure that the military one gave in to the money police and i am sure that the people who support them really treat to the end. and one way of showing them that in these areas a determinant is that we are ready to do anything for our country. meanwhile, the inter and 5 minutes romani, which of course borders naija said that an intervention by the echo watch, regional blog could lead to the dissolution of the organization itself. the stress of some countries want to break up. echo was that they don't want to african countries to unite. now, eco box, defense chiefs have said they're ready to carry out

a military operation in asia with one official saying d day has been approved. this is as government, of course, over throwing about the country's ministry, about a month ago with the deposed president taken into custody by his own gods. the country's new leadership has remained defined. think it has the support of the people and is prepared to defend the country. and we hope from locals in nearby, but again, a 5. so who say the echo watched as opposed to help african nations and need not launch military operations against is easy to lose. again, it's not logical to me. it seems that eco watches lost its mind. what nation does eco was want to defend, equal was, has a foreign power behind it, and they're both trying to destabilize the entire so how regions it's unacceptable equal was, was acting like a military organization. it's committing great mistakes by wanting to intervene militarily in the sheriff. i am to, is the democratic rule more important than the lives of the 26000000 new jerry and

support the new government and want change equal. wass needs to self reflect when you say the main goal of eco was, is not to condemn and cancel a cruise. but it does a ticket with a means that are the like the past, and that is on the on defense minister is right, that the objective of the cost is not to intervene militarily in a country to restore foreign government. i think the main goal should be to help struggling nations. new jo has been suffering from the threat of terrorism for a long time. but never once did they decide to help them in this hair ready to solve the problem with terrorism india. we clearly see that in cross officials, i just the to defend themselves when one of them is struggling. the rest go to rescue. but eco west is supposed to help the people that people have been suffering for a long time, i think because it should be dissolved to assume last city. it was in their number for interview for they cost is not a community that has to be ruled by some leaders score thousands of kilometers away from here. it costs is supposed to be for the african people. we cannot understand

how former calling you has installed puppets to everything they want. book in the 1st, who is a member of echo, as they have to ask for our permission before deciding to attract a brotherly nation. nickel was, wants to attack me here without a consent. then it's totally normal for booking to fast to, to leave echo us only pass. how can the from the moment meanwhile, the but i cannot fast. i was providing around 300 trucks of humanitarian aid to need, yet for the neighboring state has the last open borders with nature. addison's, the west african regional blocking, so sanctions on the country and the route between parking a faucet. when each air is lined with various militant groups and requires military escalades from both sides and locals in but a few and 5, so say they support the assistance being provided to needs yet. so the data for consolidated already exist. it's totally normal and logical for burke and of us . so to send those $300.00 trucks full of fluids, the brother we nation of new share. because you cannot let your neighbor die of

starvation. we all saw the new sherry and trucks stuck at the border with been in. i think it's a moral duty for our state as a neighboring country to help the new jerry and people say, and this is on. it's a decision that we salute because we see that in new jersey, brother, the country we will suffer from the same problem of terrorism. ecker was decided to sanction georgia. it's totally normal to help. we have to live in solidarity. and the packing when the country is attacked about the consequences effect the neighboring country. when the house of your neighbor is on fire, you have to help because the fire can spread to your house. people will think this is a very humane decision to help our browsers from you here. mr. about the. well, the i, russian, excuse me, the russian ministry defends us that the defense systems have prevented a ukrainian drone attack in the moscow region. have a law the for the city of a class know go to in the most of the region where one of the drugs were shut down

by a defend systems. no casualties reported regions governor saying the blast way for my drones, full damaged cars and a few windows and a residential building. another drawing was shut down in the event of sky history. 2 more drawings were taken down to the body and screech, and according to the russian ministry of defense for the russian army has repelled for attacks by ukrainian troops and the article from new guns regions. according to the russian ministry of defense, russian forces also strengthened depositions on the computer on the front line with a subordinate variation that i'll tell every fire. and that's the culture it takes us toll on the locals, volunteers do what they can to ease the burden on residents living in the complex zone is obviously gonna shut off. now take a look at life at the front line. no matter the towns of who business and came in, now i'm

a will within reach of ukraine's artillery. this risk has 7 traditional logistic and supply chains. humanitarian aid volunteers is often the only hope for the locals. here who comes here all the time. we serve in this area. sure. and is that him over said a secret, only for their sake, his life worth living. please guys, square standing and waving flags with us. they hold pretty weapons in their hands. there are real heroes. i consider them heroes. smoke myself. they are not afraid to go out there. glad to see us. are you just to help these children? because this terrible conflict has left them without parents, without childhood, our task is to win as soon as possible in order to give them victory. caused who's awfully stopped with everything from foot pools and food to smartphones. children here aren't exactly spoiled and gather quickly to get freebies or other near the

other stuff is handed out any more centralized fashion cereals, candy utensils locals are provided with everything that can get them through another day. such events often become targets of ukrainian shirlen's, so no time should be wasted. movement was making them up and who brought the social items for young mothers who do to nervousness from the constant bumping way. do you currently not cease no longer produce milk? we'll do right formula so that their children with northstar for get sick, as well as personal hygiene items, household chemicals, and necessary food packages. this has come from the citizen. so for us, from ordinary people, patriots of their country possibly bring this help. we truly, every 2 weeks won't stop until we win the china and iraq and moving towards create a cooperation with the economy, trade and infrastructure develop and building and key areas. and that is the message coming out of the meeting between the rocky president and the chinese. i'm

busted up to back, that it's important to strengthen existent relations between iraq and china. especially in the can nomics and trade in the field of developing infrastructure and services. and expand the horizons of joint operation in areas of mutual interest in a way that the cheapest, the cone interest of the to friendly countries and people, china, a scheme to develop and build distinguish relations when they rack based on the historical depths and fruitful results and has achieved thousands of chinese workers and engineers working in rack as well as chinese companies that today have important projects in their rack. will be a rocky president. like to put a shade highlighted the many investment opportunities in a raw, noting that improving services for the population is a key goal of his government of aging bank. that cooperation has accelerated over the past decade through the chinese belt and road initiative. trying to provide them investments in energy and infrastructure development for the post war

reconstruction of iraq. we spoke with a panel of guests from iraq in china, who said the main goal for both countries is simply achieving a mutually beneficial partnership. a we have a very good, good investment in january. the crude oil changes is the number of 3 or 4 that pops out of that. from the oil and the median east, especially from europe. we have the races, the budget to for the 14th and exporting the and now with the china from 88 to the dns has increased by 30 percent 222-019-2021 of the obstacles we have is the, the, the us to the the don't accept this kind of a corporation road the chinese because it will affect the economic goal of relations and investments between they, us companies and side york. and the countries want to have an independence or a situation that should have the multi corporation,

multi international. the company or countries and now we can have the an s a down here, we give a good assessment for the chinese relations with us. and that's a huge investments and the inside of europe. so why that will give a very huge potential to the iraqi government, the rocky policies, and then kind of dependence is the part, the huge. what are the main areas of cooperation between china and a rock and how do they benefit china? was it's mostly uh, infrastructure. and the benefit is, is 2 fold. one, a rack is having the 3rd largest reserves of oil in the world. uh, obviously uh, in china, a wants to make sure that those are available. there are the largest importer, but the 2nd and larger concern is to have a stable, middle leased. it things have been going downwards, ever since the weapons of mass destruction, of the false falsifying evidence which causes the invasion of iraq.

it's been very, very tough going for the economy still has not recovered us. aid is minuscule compared to what is and as necessary. plus they were saddled with a very large debt, quite uh, at this juncture. um, they are looking for any way that they can uh, rebuild their economy. and china is willing, its not offering any kind of, um, you know, demanding any kind of adherence to ideological things. it just says, let's trade, let's be part of the belton road initiative. the product. yeah, it has reportedly some on the top invoice from the embassies of denmark, and excuse me. the other one says, and i can corrupt soul in response to a string of koran. desecration is off the danish on darcia. authorities allow the most of them hardly vote to be publicly defiled in front of the attackers embassies in those countries. meanwhile, in sweden of mine who previously bundle, colorado raleigh and stuck home was a tucked in a sub in the city. there's where the judge shows the pride demonstrations organize
