states. all of you saw born or law previous now must a me how to all of you, a special rel come to this province of halting. meanwhile, south africa and that president and so around the post a held a joint news conference with chinese president, she didn't paying the 2 countries have signed a memorandum of understanding and an agreement on cooperation in the field of higher education and, and reform. all right, let's get more from the summit, sidelines on trust to r, t correspondents, notably ok, and the local reporter trouble that blocked the trouble may start with you. as i said earlier, the 2 breaks leaders, so i'm opposed and she's been saying have already met at the stomach. can you tell us more about what they discussed? the full rate. so this is 2023 and it marks the celebration of 25 years of diplomatic relations between south

africa as well as china. south africa is 10 of the biggest trading putting on the continent and a very important entry point into the rest of the continent. it is here with china will also form part of the talks on the sidelines on breaks along side 30 kids of faith from the continent and not just south africa, which is something that south africa is always valued, that they should take africa with them and arise as they the lead. now, one of the things that you'll see with regards to this particular uh, meeting between uh, she's in pain and so out on the plaza is that this is using things for the state visit she in south africa. and on the 4th, the visit trade relations are very important to discuss between the 2 lead us and how they can narrow the trade deficit between south africa in china. and one of the ways in which this meeting will be looking into remedying that situation is trying

to get more south african goods into the chinese market. and that is something which will take a lot of willing list from china in order to make that happen. but the to need is i also like to run going to form a type of the leadership of briggs which will be receiving the business. 3 console's report on the last 10 years. as you know, the business council really has come up with things like the brakes business, the bricks development bank. they have really seen trade shoots through the roof as the south africa, for instance, has now trade more with bricks than it does with any of the, of the brookings, that you find in the global sphere. and it has really come to form an important part of with south africa once is developed mentally aid. and one of the highlights that emerges from the sidelines of the meetings of china and south africa today is that of the. busy electricity administer, he will be announcing tomorrow,

as we understand, assigning of a memorandum of cooperation between south africa and asia. and these companies, which will be looking into the issue of energy security. as you know, south africa suffers from a really dialect of electricity supply. we've had close than the power outages, and this is something that the government notices and knows that it is really what's happened, hurting the development of this country from reaching its potential. but the more here, as we understand, is quite jubilant. and you can see it upon the streets, you can see it everywhere that people are really happy to be here. you can see representatives of the 5 countries. she and that is the friendship that settled. i'm a plus that speaks about when he spoke to the chinese lead us using ping area and here is that over on the project on behalf of be. so the purpose of this writing table is to further deepen cooperation between china and the african continent. and met us of development industrialization and the

integration of african economies. the friendship that exist between our 2 countries is living proof of what you set out in our freedom chart. and that is the plus i really speaking to the chinese leadership, but really speaking to the white up audience that will make up the bricks need thing. and summit of the 15 se of state here in johannesburg. and as we get closer to that time, we can see there's a hyphen sense of security, but also a heightened sense of expectation into what could be the announcements that emerge out of the 15 big summit. there, let's go. now 10 minute video, you're closer to the event, so i understand that happening at the stomach. can you bring us the latest?

of course the just to reiterate, to emphasize on what to call it. the has disappeared, especially on the to pollution. that's based on the streets of so that protects, as i've said before, this is a very different and historical time and moment. so, so that's a cat as opposed to the segments. but then of course, of this segment comes in a very difficult time, is false. i'm mixed conversations about your political intentions and those do political tests has been to you to way on the prospective announcements and promises and works off of the brick set block us. and i guess one of the conversations around of the opinion that have been making rounds, which is the fact that to the breaks block was established to beach, a rival of g 7. and so that is government has not taken that lying. it has made clear and emphasized that's the breaks the block was not established. it's to be a competition with logic economies in the g 7 countries and stated it is cementing its own place in the g o economies and to

a political space within the world. and in almost $22.00 countries have approach which the breaks the block could to join in the country that these families off the 5 nations and $22.00 or rather more than $22.00 of those of the countries have not only made a request to but we all of the understanding that today's and people number that has also is for many of them to try to, to show interest in joining the brakes block. and that was according to the brakes . sherpa. i know so clinic is all of this if the appetite and the interest speaks to the kind of strong cooperation that the bricks need is good to emphasize and preach about that. in fact, that she has the problem. been stuff of india giving us exactly that. the brakes has been to see a 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, including development, imperative, and reform of the multilateral system. the summit will provide a useful up with cdc for brakes to identify future areas of cooperation and reviews to do single development. that was the problem. i gave those kinds of conversations on what exactly we are expecting to engage on and listen to each as especially from the brakes. uh, representatives and officials will also so a the, the, the, the fire for an install offer russia save a lot for over. i'm arriving and so that's what the wage ease i'm hating the russian integration add to this week's a break. so i mentioned again, the big summit is a trip to, to pay the weight for lots of conversations amongst the conversation is of course, if the efforts of moving towards the door, right,

they should be expansion off the brakes block and many other issues. the continued to affect these brief explanations, but also the applicant punched in and just as of course, the, the theme off of this yes, to dates, africa ad breaks or breaks the and africa. and we will be also in a bit of time in a bit of time in a few minutes. in fact, we'll be seeing those that breaks need is from the nations of the brakes o'clock. i'm entering the room and i'm having conversations escapes conversations that we are looking forward to and we'll be standing by to get those the results we have are certainly looking forward to hearing from the leaders of the bricks. countries um are to use the volume to day and look for a part of trouble and that's awesome. thank you. all right, let's trust our studio at the bricks. venue is nicky, aaron and new waco at the center of the events the

right to thank you so much. i'm nicky allen and i'm new new waco way ahead and spectacular rooftop studio in the house of diana's book. and there's an ad of excitement and anticipation right now as breaks day one gets on the way with all these v i, b, i piece in this building right behind is the sentence. how is you having that meetings? i agree things. and with these things, some very exciting things come out of this summit this year. so people say, let's talk through some of those things that might happen. you know, there's a lot of movements happening, embryo, tangible movements happening in that room with all of those power players. and they are power players because that is why they are here as a team, as so many people want to be a part of as well. so many countries, let's talk through some of those countries that wants to be of thoughts. absolutely, there's ethiopia, which is a giant in east africa. we have algeria, i mean,

we can just go down the list of the 20 to who i have officially submitted. the applications and then the other 20 that have showing strong interest. we want you to make sure that you tune in so we can tell you all of the updates as the info. we're going to be, hey, i make no mistake about that. that way we spoke to one to let may know he's the case secretary general, full applicants, continental free trade area, who praise breaks is the impact on the global economy, as opposed to organizations further expansion. let's take a listen. if you look at the profile, the economic profile of the bricks, countries, the contribution to global treat to their contribution to global g d p. it is a very significant part of the cold when you call them. and so as the bricks, countries, and, and deliberate over the next few days, my whole, eh, and i believe that this would be the case. my hope is that they will be as part of

the outcomes. a great time gage went with the rest of the african continent, terms of trade and investment, bricks, countries, it should consider the amc, etc, to be an opportunity to, to expand the americans, to expand into you and dynamic areas of the cooperation that they have. so you have to present, so i think that's, that's a very critical acknowledgment. the fact that the theme has been corrupted in this manner is the african union. and as they have cmc, we have timelines for the events for the introducing enough a concurrence which i believe will happen. costs the challenges that will have to be confronted, but it is there, which is $1.00 of in the founding instruments of the o. a u is that africa must have a single cutters. so we're moving towards that as to when it can happen. i do not

know. but in the interim we have introduced, as i said, the pin up can payments in such an in system which would enable trade enough for thought to happen in local currency when it digital platform so, and so on top of the excitement on the, on to as a patient about what, what's going to come out of this year's summit. there's also some trepidation as well from some countries in the west, especially with the funds would be doing the rise ation and getting around what the state otherwise they can actually meet. you know, it just means having a different option to be able to trade with your own local currency. so take, you are not dependent on a foreign entity that is imposing on bearable policies to trade with the dollar. and all of these countries, especially the ones that have already submitted their applications, i hear because they want to have that option with countries speaking to break away from the international dollar, the dominated system, the creation of common break courtesy is likely to talk the meetings agenda today

are to correspond to donald quarter explains what makes the idea attractive to the nations around the world. 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 coming 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 item of breaks, 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 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 on the current conditions. bearing in mind what is happening with the global finance is when the use of the don't to as a political instrument, it's not just russia looking to break away from dollar dependents. the long side 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 breaks. and china considers dollar dominance to be the main source of global instability. the who gemini of the us though lies the main source of instability and uncertainty in the world's economy during they call the 19 ponds that make the united states a be used as a global financial position. and injected 3 areas of dollars into the global

markets, leaving other countries, especially image and 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 organizations calling for $770000000.00 in immediate humanitarian aid. 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 their decision, but at least 50 percent of new lending would be a local currency. so i think bridge has getting the captain this to go out to create a financial independence and not being held hostage by one or 2 currencies with a multi polar economic future on the horizon. it's likely that this change will be for the better for everyone. here this talk of data on the rise ation. it really hits home when they saw the buzz with multi polarity seems to be doing the rounds as well. now we've lived on drum unit po, the world for so long. what would

a multi color, well, actually look like, it would look like, you know, countries having equitable partners having an inclusive voice at all of the decision making levels when they are making trade policies. when they are building bilateral relationships, when they build a multi lateral relationships, it really makes it conducive to do business and grow their economy. sounds pretty good. so may i with breaks being widely seen as a platform for the promotion of multiple r, as in many countries have shown that interest in joining the club. local journalist from nigeria, timothy of us, it explains how it works. membership could benefit his country. performance of the brakes group of liaison is opening on tuesday in south africa with new membership, proposed common currency and for security, up at the top of the agenda, advocacy, largest cons, pretty like syria, with a population of about 220000000 people is expected to become one of the world stop

20 economies by the us 2030, which makes it a desirable candidates to join the briggs. the activities of the brakes have been gathering momentum so that many are beginning to see them as a platform for a new world order of multi paula power centers. such a membership would be of the many benefits tonight, syria, in addition to showcase and it has a respectable for someone based on the brakes and tours because it serves several functions. one is to provide a platform for members to criticize, often with just with the case and the way institutions such as a well defined the i, m f and all the western side of international side line, the global south jones. we have reached the beginning of the reason why in the do that is key to training for the day is because they share mental pollution in terms of marketing for douglas,

this is done so oh, perhaps ability to also on to do was public. i originally did too. what's the interest to accept that? don't need us to go for life without going to break away from us long enough for break. and that's funny for, for us say, of russia, india, china, and south africa has been speaking to counter balance of west spend dominance and jobs. a new economy for our members. the brakes are of the global cdp, has increased from 8 percent in 2001 to 26 percent today, which makes us also accounts for more than 40 percent of the world's population. that may be something that's gonna benefit because your blog is actually lucky enough. uh, if someone could call and say for instance, so maybe get with the a, an agreement. we're like,

you have to do with sean louse. we do you to the, what is it called to here on my i you want to change with georgia dream girl who's on what the warranty that get the, the, i agree on. definitely have some positive impact support in there so much, but also review applied to adopt a joint carmen c, a beach to and for us dollars dominance and international transactions. my jury, as economy has been struggling to keep up with high inflation and historic congress since revaluation, but the trend is affecting these most people like to make out and about to rely on imports for their products. those going to buy this. you'll find that that's the vehicle in the morning. i want to spend money in the vin in distance, it's will change higher and the finding it difficult to cope. this is plenty to customize. to be both of these folks into both onboard steps. postal must also understand in the solution of the country than we expected. like then most of most

the day you end up having 5 or 4 knots. and those need to know with the differences in terms of the price s type, especially escalate between the west and all the countries. experts predicts button more countries will try to join the brakes. tennessee will be as archie, new job like syria. what if you want to keep on top of everything that's happening at the break? so i'm actually just gonna have to stay with us here on, on the international because we are right here in the highest. but i can see the place where the basement taken place. all of our correspondence and what i've read, we're right here for now. by the next thing the . all right, my thanks to my colleagues nikki. a new new in south africa. moving on to other news now. the russian ministry of defense says that ukrainian drone attack in the moscow region was forwarded earlier.

the this is the city of creston of ours and they are the capital where one of the drones was shot down, no casualties were reported with the reasons governors saying the bloss way from the drum, the fall spanish cars and windows in a residential building. another drown was shot down in the audience off the district. local say they heard a strange sound, followed by the blast. most of the words i woke up at home at 2 o'clock, i heard the sound of a moped. i thought it was some young kids riding around, but it wasn't a moped at all. then there was an explosion in flames. i have a 2 year old baby and a husband or before all this, the baby woke up on her own. she was frightened by the sound of buzzing. she climbed into my husband's arms. then there was this explosion which woke me up. there was a bright flash and

a bang. the house was shuddering. our cars when screen was damaged, but it was nothing compared to what happened to the other cars that some of the pakistani police have arrested. the country's former foreign minister shaw mahmud, correctly the one time close. the aid of now convicted ex prime minister in wrong. khan was detained on charges of exposing the state secrets and harming the country's interest when he reportedly shared a document for the washington had a hand in toppling con. here's part of that like data. i also don't have the reason for a strong us reaction was pack is done substantial from voting in the un general assembly . she gets a goal glue replied in the negative and said it was due to the prime minister's visit to moscow. just said that i think of the know confidence vote against the prime minister succeeds all will be forgiven in washington because the russia visit is being looked at as a decision by the prime minister. the 2nd sony authorities in washington both deny

us crusher was forced on a sum of odd, the opposition politicians arrest the legends he and others were involved in the loop on authorized the transmission of secret information. in order to distort facts for personal gain, crushes detention occurred shortly after a news conference where he promised to challenge any delay in new elections scheduled for november at the latest following the current government's dissolution on the 9th of august. the pakistani, our interior minister claims the news conference and the politicians arrests are not connected. you'll recall the austin prime minister said to us was behind the plot to topple him before the april 2022, no confidence, but resulting in his resignation. he made a u. turn on those plans, but repeated them last month and now says washington was behind his downfall on was detained earlier this months after being sentenced to 3 years in prison for selling state gives a charge which banned him from the productivities for 5 years. because he's lawyer, since the charges against his plan also are clearly politically motivated and

influenced by the us. i think there is no such kind of any legal action against like land shopping. she item is sort of wrong which but all good is that they have come with did anything which is against the interests of the state. i p. the desktop of state was protected by mister about hahn. and mister shalom issue, instead of giving it a wad, and they flock, these persons who have stored this a florida intervention. they haven't been made an accused. and the bus sons who are the beneficiaries of that conspiracy. they have been given the government and that, and they have the may the process do this, why the handlers in the boxes on the political leadership, what involved are but it in governments with the us see why they were not pulled

into why the action was not taken against them, why a person who has the resisted against this, these illegal interpret and says they have been made d a. but they have been married. the accused in this matter. so the indifference of let's say, and the involvement off of the present to the boss, to the team and the present to the team working on in the head are key of the goal and they are also involved. the devastating wildfire is field by gale force winds, have inflected widespread damage across greece, leaving at least 2 people. dad and 2 firefighters injured the flames, exacerbated by hot, dry and windy conditions have caused dozens of blaze, as triggering a state of emergency evacuation orders have been issued as authorities raffle with the escalating disaster with emergency services on high alert. 17

a massive increase in illegal migration to italy doubled a number from 2022 and a triple compared to 2021. most migrants are from the west, african states of guinea and ivory coast. we had a chance to speak to those who risk their lives in a bit to reach europe's golden gate. a big enough for the time. i've done a rough manya this week, and i originated from burkina faso. it has been a fortnight since my arrival here, driven by an aspiration for a more promising future. the circumstances back in my homeland or dire leaving us devoid of resources and the means to sustain our lives. the current state of my country can be attributed in part to the actions of france, the responsibility for the situation we find ourselves in now, arrests to some extent upon frances rule and influence to i'm ross when i'm from broken or false. so anyway, pursue of

a better life. i've made multiple times to cross the sea, depleting all my phones in the process. my current board is nothing more than a field of circumstances have left me with no other dwellings. the western world's actions have seen english truths. my homeland office resources leading us bereft of hope for a peaceful existence in 3 months. i would my name is miss old. i'm from booking at fossil. i've been reciting into news here for the past 6 months. a current existence is fruit with hardships marked by a scarcity of sustenance and elective opportunities for gainful employment to meet the basic requirements in this olive tree field, a community comprises over 400 individuals who are currently making it at home. the challenges we face off are found just obtaining voice and necessitates of one kilometer journey i am and so from the ivory coast i am to shed light on the challenge of circumstances prevalent in tunisia. a situation that is far from
