the the, [000:00:00;00] the, the headlines on off the international land areas, russia as far administered, just arriving in south africa along with the leaders of china and brazil for that much sean dissipated brick summit from kicking office today. you can check back in touch with the key action without special coverage from our studio at the event in job us. and they are calculating ukraine likely to be among the topics for discussions at the summit of south africa's former ambassador to america. shared with us is thoughts on the crisis. also taking him i meant to address the role of certain western partners behind the ongoing event because of the nature of this war

that was dealing with it. oh, i understand it's quite clear that you say, well, for example, the other ukranian drawing a title and the most or region has been for him. and we understand that no casualties reported by officials also in the program of china and the rock moving towards greater cooperation in the economy. trade and infrastructure development as baghdad does distance itself from stuff and previous faulkner, the goal tectonic shift. so shaking up the world, geo political chessboard is developing. so over the next 48 hours could very well find that way into the history books. as a countdown has now been gone to the style to the 15th annual brick summit kicking off today. and john, his bug, or the major idea of political events,

attracting world leaders, politicians, businessman and bride mind small around the world with multi polarity and a just world at the top of the object or the onset with the russian foreign minister, the areas right there. so get out for office, just touched on and just had his bucket shortly after 8 am local time is by the 1st day of the brick stomach. we'll see statements from the 5 heads of the meeting members states of the chinese they to arrived over night receiving a warm welcome from the host countries. president said it'll drum or folks are at the airport. that's off to the arrival of the present in president lulu the silva and south africa as far administered and i lady pandora was also there on hand. and the russian president vladimir putin will be attending the summit, but only via video conference. the indian department is not in the range

remotely, is on his way to draw his bug head of his departure here he took them, i went to appraise the roll of bricks and promoting ties between nations and pursuing a mode. just multi polar will border breaks has been pursued a strong corporation 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 included in development, imperative and reform of the multilateral system. the summit will provide a useful up of cdc for breaks to identify future areas of cooperation and reviews to do single development level could be issues to be discussed at the summit. is that a financial cooperation? countries taking the break away from the international dollar dominated system, the creation of a come on breaks, chiron, c is likely to top the meetings, agend ortiz, i don't know, quarter, it takes a very good law 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 bricks is the vehicle that can turn that dream into a reality with an independent world wide currency. i dream of having a come 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 general griggs, having its own currency like the european union, 0 for now the dollars global hegemony is indisputable, with the greenback involved in 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 and 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 doubts that using a rich experience in government work in 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 on the current conditions. bearing in mind what is happening with the global finances, with the use of the don't to as a political instrument. when will go inside the u. s. dollar has been created these credits and proved on trustworthy as a main reserve currency. it has been proven does. if the eastern countries suddenly has or desires or punish someone, it will abuse its position without hesitation. it's not just russia looking to break away from dollar dependents 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 still lives the main source of instability and uncertainty in the world economy me during the call, the 19 ponds that make the united states a be used as

a global financial position and injected 3 alliance 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 the 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 for 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 getting the captain this to go at the rate of financial independence and not being held hostage by one or 2. kind of, excuse me, multi,

interfered only some entries should proceed to establish new financial mechanisms which will prove that it is not only the physical transhill, 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 set aside from the 5 bricks members iranian president of human rights, he is also set to travel to john his boat to take part in this thomas with tyrone, apparently interested in joining the group of emerging economies that's a lot more customized to watch these use up to allow you to hear more on terence prospect. so use upgrade to see you today on iran recently joined the economic and strategic s. c o the shanghai to operation organization. and now it seems that toronto also has a sites on the bricks pretty well. what do you think you said?

i mean is a, is that run for iran in bricks as well? what of course, one is engine closer to becoming a new member. and the brakes alliance of the country hopes to offset the impacts of the western sanctions under the umbrella of breaks. what of course, now we see that whiny and presidents ibrahim bracy is among the world's leaders attending an invite of, of course he was invited by the south african president to take part in the break summit in what is seen as a key step towards it wants admission into the alliance force one applied for membership and breaks back in july 2022 and now it's potential membership for drink . significant advantages advantageous for both sides as brooks accounts for roughly 30 percent of the global g d p. and about 40 percent of the world's population. now his weekly, for us are not working on a who is a sports person for as long as a 40 minute 40 minutes. we highlighted it once close cooperation,

already close to operation with all member states of the brakes. alliance walk ration with bricks and membership is significant for iran. and the president's participation is aligned with this framework around stands out as one of the few countries engaging and dialogue in cooperation with all bricks members as well brakes which comprises the emerging economies of brazil, russia, china, india, and south africa has been increasingly acting as a counter balance through all the traditional western dominance. now we see that and we secures are those countries have been cooperating to um, to, to ditch the daughter and move away from the daughter dominance. and it won. and brooks can offer a lot to each other in this regard. of course, with the complimentary economies and culture,

diversity brooks members can really meet the needs of one another and can really share their national development plans to one another. and it was in disregard can also help a lot that everyone has been showing success in breaking out of international isolating created by us sanctions. and can really set an example for breaks members interest and disregard it wants g d. p has reportedly about increased by 4.7 percent in the last quarter last year and is ranked 15th and most of the world, 72 major economies. it was economy is also expected to grow even further in light of brakes. as the brakes alliance is now moving to introduce a new joint currency and to move away from other daughter and in there a bit to dish. the daughter in international transactions now director general of the west asia department. as your bonds, foreign ministry, mr. said russell, and most of the help of the bricks initiative to try to audition adult daughter and

use this new joint currency. i said that's an amazing transformation is taking place in the global economy. the breaks introduction of the gold back go and see where we can the us dollar in the euro and will benefit other countries such as a ran uranium who own gold will experience an increase in their welf. it's often that we see that's why they want succession to breaks may take a while. uh, its geopolitical significance has already prompted the main members of the alliance to tentatively support your wants potential membership in a group which happens it would significantly give to juan l like golf. and it's a bit to circumvent the wes sanctions as the brakes initiative to dish the daughter would practically run their us sanctions against that wrong in effective and could bring them back to the global trade after years of isolation. all right, i'll tell you the use of july to joining us life and to around that,

about 9 45 am local time. thanks for that useful see use now aside from the financial cooperation, the calculating ukraine is also topping the agenda. it breaks, we discussed the crisis with a former south african, i busted up to america who actually called it a proxy war being waged by the collective west against russia. well, you can watch the full interview throughout the day here on archie or on a website for right now. is it? what are you sure to preview the when there was a decision to most things sort of the security concept because the collective west could not have the way that and they decided to take the method to teach. and that on the st. lucy's ad place event that and all they need to and numbers to see

that to own their own site. load the right side of the city and therefore it, and what we're doing is testify and we'll end up doing this with us. and all those a, it is a new she's that we approach that doesn't really know the reason for having a non binding size energy or an a c less situation like that one which is also reflection. what was afraid of the security concerns to take the service funds that really didn't precisely it 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 that and where to take it decision as to where we stand on these issues. and once we decided to take a decision, we as a country, it became singled out

a $193.00 tons as vote says what i love them. vote for many of the others i've seen like us as vote deans. what do i, the one who get picked? why did set, does it go for decently? so as the board is descends on us, why are you doing this area setting up that example? so we have to take all the sect, doesn't to concede that issue of members. people think sometimes people think that we take this decision mainly and truly on the basis they forget that we also have a nice day. well, they will be so many more interviews coming your way in the coming days are now to international. we bring you all the latest from the 15th annual break summit in south africa, or else special coverage from us. special studio at the venue itself with odd seas nikki aaron coverage kicking of various

the right in other news, hero analogy internationals and bob boys set to choose as president with around 24 hours to go until polls open across the country. there are 11 candidates officially approved by the electoral commission with the main runoff expected to happen between 2 contenders incumbent president. emerson, and when the guide was leading these on a party and came to power in 2017, a softer the form, a head of state resign following political tensions involving the military, which backed the current president and the other candidates, the opposition leader nelson from you. so from the citizens coalition of a change, he came 2nd in the previous presidential elections getting 44 percent of that vote . now ahead of the polls over 10000, gather to show support for him with some saying they've had enough for being come. but later through the change folks and bob,

which we tired of dealing with and stuff new. so young, this is good to go to the menu menu menu menu men to but you see a good using us. good. our put is the deputy aspect supposedly for citizens coalition for change. parties says that the opposition is focused on protecting the interest, solves, and bob williams, especially when it comes to natural resources. i think the policy has the support of many zimbabwe is excited by the possibility of change the we have traveled up close to linden, but it's all for our country. we have been doing almost 3 or 4 at least a day. and then the base of the machine office pro social contract between and bubbling vote us and believe that she verified with a note saying to me, so there's a lot of confidence that there's a lot of excitement from bob with,

with the judge and loves. and bob with look forward to doing that as an opportunity for somebody to go into a new chapter at the past. 43 as of since elections and up with leaving is up in society divided with this call. and you'll feel legitimacy because of contested election. but for the 1st time, we expect that it will give a peaceful transfer of power well into the new government. and symbol is expecting of that and remember that the troopers have it bad for goodness and show me size. i'll send and you know, different sectors of society that include the military in terms of the transition in that hole in the transition. because most of the feelings that would have been in the public is that it typically comes to undermine the security forces, which is not defect and has been confirmed by the lead that you collective of to proceed. and of course issues that are lent, which is the biggest issue in this involved with, and we'll see on the present me. so we have attempted very clear that we're not

going to temple at all with the lead given or not as bob was because the lender form was potential political necessity in our country. and we said we are there to make sure that we control because every send, the buddies in project was the issue of flint and the issue of boardman one vote. so we are there to protect the ident and because of deliberate and struggle, and we've asked them that once we assume, what does it tell me? so let, the government will give title to those we have been disabled, nor lead nor square inch of these and populated is going to be given at to the imperialist or give said to the any for the now, what's that they're coming from the west on the east, these mobile, it belongs to this and bubbling people. simmons with the minute over his listings or for people we have said we must be the 1st people to benefit for one that drives us is not for in us. and the people that don't belong to. i want to put shipped to country, so that is given

a political momentum as to what it is and possible. clarity owns the ability under to proceed. government that present, tell me. so he's coming to mix of that is in bucklin progresses so that we make the lives of those waking to simply walk on to bed and other than to undermine it is about wednesday. of course he did say that if elections are to be held free and fair, these going to be changing these kindly remote wins that also have confidence that the power must be time set in a peaceful manner and fashion. as an alternative government, we are very clear that we believe that power must become said, piece it fully by inspecting the will of the people because the mobile is the closest and democracy. because there's no democrats means they must be a government that is bone, out of the collective philly of the people that is expressed to the ballot. so it's in buttons of confidence in the election is above wins of yes. do you have going sense about how elections are being conducted? that's why we phrase concerns with the court machine police going since we've been all of the quote but think you decide is important in depth. i think the law for

the bid them into or for future and the stability to o'clock on. so this is a big issue. knock on the elections must be free and fair elections must because level, as in bob points, i put a bit to come up in the numbers and vote for the government of their choice. we have also a fib, isn't bumped with the donation of me, do particularly inside to get an african unit that we must have a free and fair election to live in extent. that if the election is over, the losing time did must be able to come back to the do we not in the we not be able to sit on the table and think organize the role of the lose that because they just what it takes to, to tell who we are, building a united country, we must be able to united citizens. is that putting some up was one of the important but what the duties and the deluxe kind of responsibility is to make sure that we bring these kinds of together. because we have been divided as a country and we have mental commitment is to pursue that election must conflict the will of the people is about to be governing authority with a super c,

or that the political party must be able to replace the future staples of exclusion with the literally the truss cycles of english the earlier, the incumbent president, also and mobilized his support is addressing them of the country's capital. he won't against violence during the election and denied accusations of oppression, intimidation and persecution of all positions. because as involved brians across the country are expressing hope for a calm election signs. they just took the bad seat and you can watch that screen for the piece, you know, initially. and that's um what's the point of view? got play to play that the priest is a pretty very non issue. a representative of the office of the incumbent president, i mentioned to me in the guy was, says that despite the western sanctions imposed on and bob with the current

government has managed to ensure food security for all of it. since the, this to us is going to be very, very important. the thing that you do the when election that actually comes after you republic, this is the beginning balance. which of these, of course to do with the how the, the, the world. this is the above where explicitly and the functions we have it to no those they ligand's functions that'd be posted in us by the those that a sheet. this like the wisdom. well, i'm going to get some never be hit with them. you can definitely do you have to be

of what is yours in this country? no running into under know those enjoys most of home. uh bringing i this is activities into the country. they don't have to talk about developmental aids. they took up a to it now for the handouts to help people. so they blame the government for the eh, producing enough for to see the citizens. they disappointed that to do. but with that, they want to be destroyed or divide in terms of the midst of equation. if mine is too many matrix in a, in the area to 15, this activities progress is in bubble is self sufficient for them. but with self sufficient, in which the bubble is,

is develop midge approach projects such as the word construction, maiming new minds of being, was selected to reflect a developmental do you problem in this evolution you in it was a, i mean the results. yes, there is a level to own, you know that they've actions know we have the record to observe as well. and well including those that detect on us. and we know we have friends know the restrooms would be there. the child is in the bed, the african region said that could be their bill also be looking at the at the end of the process with a view to coming up with a it was shipped to the looks of issue on how we conduct the since i've been doing this for over 40 years now and the, there's nothing you to, to, to really what about in terms of the implement this in terms of for elections. but

look, we know, as i said, just come to cause trouble. but the, if no problem with that, they can do whatever they bought or do. but that we have kids level as a kid. they know who does a they know which part to be below to respect what they mean depending on which type of birth and democracy they, they know. and others really just said all settled good bye to speech being a need from those that to do like us. so we ended up business. if you want to come pain the, the, the, they, they have in the laws, in depth of laws allow people one participant, this really built any investigators for a minute for you see, but the way it works whenever they try to use the owners themselves we, we uh,

if i like that and there we are also guided by the web guides and that is the constitution. so wouldn't worry about that. they can, it can be in this much if they want. but if they think key things, plus i buy people entities and lovely and that they would when is it a level that no, i'm not the public. and the 2nd i have done that i love is close on factors on the 5th. and that is, is it very unlikely purposely shifting my presence, he's on the ground right now. i'm a vice president on the account. now the entirety of it is because in gauging people, when the team is busy on social media and the know what that is between the passport. we have talking to people, people assuming the west seeing the development of this in the country,

the . yeah, you can watch all of those interviews with officials from both parties ahead of us and bob, we elections and full. that'll be just a few minutes actually after this broadcast with an out here on the program, the russian ministry of defense, the side of the defense systems that prevented or ukrainian drone attack in the moscow reach the yeah, this is a further from the city of cross no border skin than most of our region where one of the drawings were shut down by the defenses. no casualties are forwarded. the regions governor saying the block away from my drawings, full damaged cars and windows and a residential building. another drawing was shut down in the old and soft sky district. a 2 more drawings were taken down in the body and screech, and according to the russian ministry of different

the china and iraq moving towards a great, a cooperation with the economy, trade and infrastructure development in key areas. and that is the message coming out of the meeting between the iraq, the president of a chinese, i'm bassett, a in bank. 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 chiefs that colon 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 at rack, as well as chinese companies that today have important projects in a rack. well, the iraq, the president, lucky for the she had highlighted the major investment opportunities in iraq. noting that improving services for the population is a key goal of his customer, of aging,

buying that cooperation has accelerated over the past decade through the chinese belt and road initiative. china has provided a vast investments in energy and infrastructure development for the post war reconstruction of iraq. we spoke with a panel of guests from iraq and china, who said that main goal for both countries is simply achieving a mutually beneficial partnership. a we have a very good the investment in studies is that crude oil chinese is the number of 3 or 4 that pops out of the oil. and then we did east, especially from iraq. we have the races, the budget to for the 14th and exporting, getting that and now with the china from 88 to to be an 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 sides rock and the country. you want to have an independence or a situation that should have the multi uh, corporation, multi international company or countries. uh. and now we can have the, we send us a younger we give a good assessment for the chinese relations with us. and that's a huge investment and the inside of europe. so why that will give a very huge potential to the rocky government, the rocky policies, and then kind of the intensive the for the future. 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 in the benefit, this 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,
