and bright minds from all around the world, with multi polarity and adjust world or at the very top of the agenda that's across now live to our studio active briggs venue with all these nicky, aaron, and new new waco being at the center of this event, the worry is thank you so much and i'm going to let you very jealous now because i'm here you know, exclusive, i'm for you to. so rooftop studio in the hearts of john is back on nicky arid. and i'm your new waco and we're going to be taking you through all the twists and turns that happened at the 15th of brick summit over the next 3 days. obviously, just take a look behind me. it's fine that in this sentence, how is that old of the ip will be coming together today? and then the next 3 days to discuss everything on the agenda would tell you for

more of that just now that we saw this very special coverage from the audi studio right here in the house to be break stomach, when have you been? this is from the much anticipated political event, russian foreign minister sick. a lot ross has a rise in johannesburg, touching down shortly on the 8 am local time. this video was said by the russian foreign ministry spokesman marizza, however, is that location was welcomed with folks offices before heading to the venue of the me take the 5 head of the breaks countries i set to make that opening statements with the russian president vladimir attending the summit via video links now many v, i t's all around and of course chinese leaders teaching ping trying to being a part of the brakes. arrived over night, he received a very warm welcome from the president 0 ramos services, but also all day the early arrival of the brazilian preston, leader to silva, south africa's foreign minister. the lady condo was also in attendance. and of course, india prime minister in arranging moody is on his way to johannesburg. ahead of his

departure, he plays the role of briggs in promoting ties between nations and pursuing a more balanced world order. breaks has been to see 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, including development, imperative and reform of the multilateral system. the summit will provide a useful of what cdc for brakes to identify future areas of cooperation and reviews to to single developments. south africa's trade and industry minister has welcome to delegate the delegate, participating at the summit, greeting them in the languages of the 5 bricks member states to all of you. so born or law previous now must

a me how the toilet view a special welcome to this province of halting some very impressive scales the now with countries is taking to break away from the international dollar dominated system. the creation of a common breaks, carbon c, is likely to be a top b agenda, a correspondent on quote, to explain what makes the ideas so attractive to so many nations around the wealth . with the rise of a multi polar world comes hope for a future free from us dollar dominance and a 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 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 freaks 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 it's banks were kicked out of swift and half of its overseas reserves to the tune of $330000000000.00. we're 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 walk 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 when the current conditions bearing in mind what is happening with the global finance is with the use of the dollar as a political instrument. when will go inside the u. s. dollar has been created these credits and proofs on trustworthy as a main reserve currency. it has been proven dusky of 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 alongside moscow, beijing and brazil yet 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 breaks. 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 during the call, the 19 ponds that make the united states. and we use this global financial position and injected 3 alliance of dollars into the global markets, leaving other countries, especially imagine economies to pay the price. a prime example of that instability is afghanistan. the united nation says $6000000.00 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 rows and

a half down assets that could ease the suffering of the asked 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 less people looking for breaks. as a more humane alternative, the new development bank is taking that decision that at least 30 percent of new lending would be a local currency. so i think bridge has getting the captain this to go out the break of financial independence and not being held hostage by one or 2. kind of, excuse me more if you know, if you had only some entries should proceed to establish new financial mechanisms which will prove that it is not only the physical true and seem to existing laws that cannot replace the dollar. the west global influence is in decline. countries formerly in 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 every one. well,

we've got so many incredible guests lined up for you over the next few days on august. 31st guest is here in the studio with us now as plus live to non your phone number that the executive director of the democracy and governance was that program . and the human sciences research council was that's hi. so many thanks for joining goes in the studio today. it's such a beautiful day for it, isn't it? it's an absolute pleasure. the varies. it isn't beautiful, would be with very, very lucky. so let's get straight to it. how significant is it that south africa is hosting the brick summit this year? well, this year i think is particularly significance. we've hosted sub it's brick summits before, but the world is in an interesting place. um, it's slightly unbalanced. i believe at the moment, and there's a lot to talk about. and there's a lot that matches to south africa. and they 40 countries that are going to be represented here, which is a lots of presidents. that's the nation on sunday nights. and he was facing the

importance of this and to be welcoming, i'm to everyone from all over the world at such an important to bait and see the already economic prospect. so south africa in hosting purely tours of everybody i've spoken to said will they? what's good to cape town to place that was already the big 5 safari, but of course not any tourism. i think a lot of business people, i mean, faces also coming to the summit, as you know, i'm, and i'm taking a look and look around to see how business friend you invest brandy. so the applicants and i've definitely got the best web before it happened a yes, absolutely. and speaking of business people, of course, at the heart of this summit is the pursuit of agendas. and what mean agenda is south africa pursuing and do you think anything would come into fruition? i believe it will come into fruition. there's been a lot of preparation for this meeting. and so that's because emphasis is always the

african agenda. it has been edits, previous segments, and that's to say this. yes, i said bringing africa to the full when we speak about any form of creating placements mutual beneficial relationships and so on. the 2 items that everybody's talking about. the one is not only bricks plus, but of course the expansion of the membership of breaks to $23.00 countries, which can show you how significant this is have applied to become full members of brakes. and only 2 can be chosen. so i'm wondering if that will actually happen this year because i don't think there are any 6 criteria to actually choosing those 2 members. so that's one thing that everybody's very excited about. the other is the dollarization. so in other words, to prevent the dominance of the dollar and allowing countries to trade and

to the more independence of the value of what you think so many countries and wants to be a part of it breaks. now what's, you know, timing, why is it seems like it's the most popular club in town. people are flocking to be a positive. what is it that makes it so appealing? i think perhaps because it showed over the last 15 years, that is a significant snap. if you want to coordinate that the new development bank is expanding, needs, doing relatively well as well. so countries are interested in joining that. not only need the brakes, but the new development bank as well. um and i think that's because of the what i was talking about, the instability, the kind of like, unique polo o 5 polarity that we see in the world at the moment. bricks is standing full, multi polarity, multilateralism piece making. and all of those things i think are very important to countries currently. and of course,

the streams of the dollars just making things lots of ways. absolutely, and it can be economically speaking, south africa is one of the largest economies on the continent. and it is pushing for the global south to be equally as sustained over have sustainable economy. what is your take on other members joining? and what does that mean for south tax? because the economy here, south africa, presidents actually a nonce for the 1st time on sunday that we are supportive of expanding the membership of brakes because there's a lot of tools around town, so to speak about a way that the brakes countries himself are supportive of expansion and it's 2 sides of the same coin if you went to court is that always they are benefits and they are some challenges of risk. i think the benefits is to strengthen the, the, the brakes to ensure that it has allowed us

a more influential voice in international relations and international affairs. but of course, the more members you have to listen to is the more difficult to do is to reach consensus. there's already an issue around some of the areas of consensus safety expend. you're going to have more difficulty around that and we already have the g 20 and we have the g $77.00 plus china. so i'm not sure if we looking now for, for a g city. um, so yeah they, they are pros and cons to this is a lot a lot of mixed opinions about what the deliveries are using, which seems to be the, you know, key words right now of both. what do you think that the dollarization is actually a possibility in the near future? especially as brakes as big consider is creating its own coming currency? i'm not sure about the depth teach and you know, the cupboard car was coming currency. it's the 5 hours for us to our 5,

but i think that's a very, very complex thing. i mean, international financial relations. i incredibly come fix a so i think uh for now bill has to be quite a lot of work dining or to see whether this is indeed a possibility. we, we, the, we would have a say true bank not, not developing the bank, but an actual bank that will deal with these issues. that would be quite complicated as well. so i think at the moment the best approach is for the bricks, countries to be able to trade with one another and cards. and that's actually happening to a large extent between, let's say, india and brazil or china and result. unfortunately, sub africa hasn't really jumped onto that bandwagon yet, but i think that we do need to do that and it does help a bit to strengthen our trade relations amongst one another. focus to all of the brakes is increasing of a better economy,

but the many african countries across the continent. so how do you feel of african countries? relationships with western countries differ from its relationship with the brakes. currency explanation is, look, i think africa is a very large confidence and it's very dive is. so, you know, we have a differences in opinion depending on regions. so we're in the study region. i think the static region is quite favorable towards breaks and towards an alternative world or the um and, and then we have north africa, which is the office at the end of the continent which may have different views. although it's interesting to see this are real cuz one of the countries that interested in egypt and i need to of care countries that are interested in joining . and of course not, jerry, which is not the largest, actually the largest economy on the funds. and one of the grievances on the content is actually the equitable trade policies that is imposed on africa

and briggs chatting just that and offers at different options. what do you think that would do for developing countries? especially those that are stagnated because they can't match the doctor. i think it would make a big difference. what i think is needed, though, is for the other brakes, countries to commit more to africa. it's an ethan. we know that china is very involved in developing. i'm african economies in infrastructure development, and we know that some of the other bricks countries are less involved. and to be quite honest for south africa, for example, our largest trade process will still be us and your. um, so one has to be careful of, you know, way, negotiating all of these things so that you don't lose something while scanning something else. how do you see yourself with his relationship with russia right now? well, so that's because is, uh, has always been

a friend of russia. and our president has confirmed that since nelson mandela was office came across to presidencies, emphasized piece and friendship across the country. but we all listened on the line . so i think that we, we are trying to add that african countries to vote some form of p a and our president waiting for some as the applicant country presidents to see as the main scan piece in the 2 presidents. um, but it doesn't seem to have to develop into anything concrete. it's of but we certainly do want to see some form of resolution as a country that is very much a piece to make us. absolutely. thank you so much for coming to see us today. it's been a great pleasure speaking to you. we've been so can see non here at the, the executive director of the democracy and governance research program in

a human sciences research council. thank you. thank very much have a lovely day. okay. well, a ways brakes being widely seen as a platform of full, the promotion of multi polarity. many countries have shown that we're interested in joining the club of corresponding usability reports on how bricks membership could benefit to that one is entering closer to becoming a new member. and the brakes alliance of the country hopes to offset the impacts of the western sanctions. and under the umbrella of frank sort of course, now we see that whiny and presidents ibrahim re see 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. and what is seen as a, a key step towards it wants admission into the alliance. of course, one applied for membership in brakes back in july 2022. and now its potential of membership could bring significant advantage to advantages for both sides as brooks

accounts for roughly 30 percent of the global g. d. p. in about 40 percent of the world's population now in his weekly process are not working on a who's a sports person for a while. and uh, for the, for the ministry highlighted, it was close cooperation already close to operation with all member states of the brake science, cooperation with bricks and membership is significant for iran. and the president's participation is aligned with this framework. your round stands out as one of the few countries engaging and dialogue and cooperation with all bricks members breaks, which comprises the emerging economies of brazil, rush, china, india, and south africa has been increasingly acting as a counter balance through all the traditional western dominance. now we see that um, and recent years, those countries have been cooperating to um, to, to ditch the daughter and move away from the daughter dominance. and it won and bricks can offer a lot to each other and disregard. of course,

with the come when i story 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 a one in disregard can also help a lot that anyone has been showing success in breaking out of international i selection, created by you was sanctions. and can really set an example for bricks members interest in this regard. they want g d p has reportedly increased by 4.7 percent in the last quarter last year and is rank 15th on the world 72 major economies. it wants the 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 their fit to dish the daughter in international transactions. now, director general, i'll be

a west asia department at he was foreign ministry, mr. said russell, who said we have a the brakes initiative to try to audition adult daughter and use this new joint currency instead of an amazing transformation is taking place in the global economy . the brakes, introduction of the gold back go and see where we can, the us dollar and the euro and will benefit other countries such as iran, uranium to own gold will experience an increase in their wealth while they want succession to breaks may take awhile, its fuel political significance has already prompted the main members of the alliance to tentatively support your wants potential membership in the group. i wish it happens. it would significantly give to juan l like golf. and it's a bit to circumvent the wes sanctions as the brakes. and it should have to dish the daughter would practically run their us sanctions against that run in effective and could bring them back to the global trade. after years of isolation,

aside from finance, so cooperation, the contacting you create is also type in the agenda. we discussed the chrysler with the former south african and bassett, or to the us who labeled it a proxy world, which against the west wage by the west against russia. you can watch the full interview throughout the day here on our tv or on, on what sites in the meantime. here's a 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 meta to the genetic and assembly which is unprecedented. and all they need to, and none of us to say that to own their own site load the right side of the city. and therefore what we're doing is justifiable in the world is the recess.

and all those a, it was a new, she's that we push 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 is to respond to religion precisely because of the nature of this war that we're dealing with an hour. and the same thing is quite clear that the say well, for example, is of course a edward to take it decision as to where we stand on these issues. and once we decided to take a decision, we as a country and we 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, others vote the dates,

but the one who get picked why did so, does it go forward this way? so the board is defense on us. why are you doing this that setting up that example? so we have to take all the set doesn't to concede that issue of members people break sometimes people think that we take this decision is mainly and purely on the basis. they forget that we also have a nice today he was such a wonderful man. i really enjoyed speaking to him, but we have to let him say more v i p guess. and so many interesting people joining us in the studio. i will be keep speaking sometimes people at this sunday to as well, for now that's all for me. and if you, aaron, um my colleague new new beds will be back with most solely so do stay tuned. but now let's go back to raining most go on my lovely clinic where we see the

policies in here. and there are no special coverage continuing throughout the day, but also for the next 48 hours to for the meantime, back to our regularly scheduled program here. and i'll take you into the took as president. and i jump out of the one who has spoken out against a potential foreign ministry intervention in the chair saying it could ultimately state the stabilize the entire west african bridge. i do not find the decision of the economic community a west african states to intervene militarily in the chair right. following this decision, molly and boot cannot fast so also wanted such a military 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. and meanwhile, thousands took to the streets and the new jerry and capital in support of the reason the military crowds of gather, defend their anger against the sanctions imposed by regional and foreign powers protest. this charge of slogans way flags holding up by those corner for an end to

sanctions on demanding dialogue. as some people in the crowd said they had come to oppose any minute trio economic intervention in the 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 match since and all other products, even from electricity to the point of considering mutual aggression against the country, leasing 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 countries and we are against the military intervention. echo

assumptions imposing on us in have retained them for dialogue is very important. i am sure that the military went deep and through the money place. and i am sure that the people who support the ministry to the end on one way of showing them that in these areas a determinant, he's got to be ready to do anything for our country. meanwhile, the interim prime minister of monte, which of course board is naija, said that any intervention by the echo was regional broad could lead to the dissolution of the organization itself. the stress that some countries want the breakup echo why, since they don't want to african countries to unite all of the echo boss, defense chiefs have said they are ready to carry out a military operation in naija, one of them saying d days, ready to go. nature has gotten rid of course of a throne by the country's military. about a month ago, the deposed president taken into custody by his own guns. this country is newly. the ship has remained defiant, sank. it has the support of the people and is prepared to defend the country. what

we heard from locals in nearby, but again, a fast. so we said that it was supposed to help african nations and need a not to launch military operations against. it's easy to lose. again, it's not logical, it seems that eco, watts has lost its mind. what nation does equal was wants to defend, equal loss has a foreign power behind it. and they're both trying to destabilize the entire so how regions it's unacceptable. it means that are the deposit and that is on the, on defense minister is right, cuz of 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 jersey has been suffering from the threat of terrorism for a long time, but never once did they decide to help them in a saturday to solve the problem with terrorism and is your phone number for interview. working at 1st, who is a member of echo us, they have to ask for our permission before deciding to attack the brotherly nation . nicholas wants to attack new share without a consent, then it's totally normal for booking,

if possible. to leave echo with the russian administrative defends besides the ukrainian drone attack and the moscow region was tornado. they are in the day. the. this is a city of cut out of water spits on. you have a capital buy. one of the drugs were shocked out. no casualties are forwarded with the original government saying the last way from the drones for damage cause and windows and a residential building. another drawing was shut down and the other until the district, excuse me. 2 more you ever used were taken down in the pretty on scrooge. and that's all according to the russian ministry of defense. the. so china and iraq, a moving towards great, a cooperation with the economy, trade and infrastructure development, wellbeing and all sorts of key areas. and that is the message, by the way, coming out of a meeting between the rock.
