a threat to global security that as the host country had 0, remo pauses stress, the bricks, countries growing, economic way, and transformation of the global economy. the big group of countries exist not only to strengthen government to government relations, but also to forward stronger ties between the pose or 55 nations. the changes that have taken place in bricks, economies over the past decade have done much to transform the shape of the, of the global economy has a stage really gather the slower i'm gonna pull it sadly to the ground who are going into the fact that it might be a hand full of countries when you look at the brakes club being just 5 countries in essence. but the power and, and the impact the be have will continue to make waves and will shape the future

of the world. a settlement was, of course, as the chair we had the opening salvo, as it were by did, was seeing president of russia vladimir puts in on the screen that really arouse the crowd. the man spoke about the fact that the, the, the rise ation project is up and running and will not be going back. he spoke about the fact that the brakes countries amongst themselves trading with in their local courtesies, of really managed to dwindle down the share of the dollar with in their own trading and was in the national courtesies and letting me put in also spoke about the commitment that russia will continue to have, particularly when it comes to issues of world energy security and world food access. particularly when one looks at the green and food access that africa has

continued to need with regards to its growth. and he says that there is something the dresser will champion on into the future, and it will not be deterred, even though it has to make logistics in order to make sure that they is a delivery of such a goods and necessary service. but despite they legal sanctions, a rush out will continue to much on to you and then you got to me, what do you and your, the international economic situation is being seriously affected by the illegitimate sanctions. and the legal, freezing of assets of sovereign states. this essentially amounts to a trampling upon all the basic rules of free trade and economic life. resort shortage is increased in the quality and rising unemployment. our direct consequences. prices on food and basic agricultural products have skyrocketed, and it is the most vulnerable poorest countries that are hit,

the hardest. russia is and will remain a responsible supplier of food to africa. russian green exports to africa amounted to 11500000 tons in 2022. and that is despite the unlawful sanctions imposed on us. that seriously complicate logistics and hinder the export, the russian food products flooding me of food. generally speaking about the fact that even if the west, then the heads of many of it or what to create the of the goals the solve is to solves relations and the community of countries will continue to find their own path see to off economies that the was the time big when the prime minister of india was saying that 5 to the uncertainty and find to be with a tendency to sit in the global market a new global economy. india remains and continues to be the fastest growing economies registry as well as the table talked about in the last 10 years. the bricks, business council has played

a vital role in enhancing economic cooperation during the economic crisis breaks, emerged like a ray of hope for the global economy. and now a mid depend demik, attentions and disputes. we deal with economic challenges and the role of bricks is important, despite volatility in the global economy. india is the worlds fastest growing major economy. very soon. india will become a 5 trillion dollar economy. there's absolutely no doubt that in the coming years, india will be the growth engine of the world. the reason for this is that india has converted crisis and difficulties into opportunities for economic improvement. we're laying the foundation for a new future for india. a lot of people saying that the establishment of the nations was that to be in rival, any petitions did you say of nations. i'm going to be really assured that that had emphasized on the fact that it's, that is not to which patients all performing at their own pace, to a point that the brick nation at events, the cost which you save in nations. that seems to be the economy for both of these

countries. and i think that really provides some sort of understanding and some sold off missions a for everyone to understand that there's no sense of competition here. and i think this is also, we seem to miss deborah, she's 5 brussels the school bus show for the past. from the 1st break summit, our share in the global economy has been increasing. and now we have already surpassed the g 7. we advocate for great economic integration, where we could have a new currency that would not replace our national currencies by diversifying our economies and currencies. we promote cooperation between developing countries. we cannot accept a new form of colonialism that imposes 3 barriers and discriminative measures the homeless. the minister in china was delivering this page on behalf of spastic present. it was using the menu 60 to jeff, and said that china continued to remain open and commit to just

a few chess or other situations. sits in the countries in the global salsa. and even further seeing that to interact with the world does not need, not the cold. in fact, it needs a strong and peaceful place to live in today's generation and new generations are to come to watch. as a chinese philosopher observes, changes the nature of the universe, the collective rise of emerging markets and developing countries represented by brooks, is fundamentally changing the global landscape. no mountains can stop the surgeon so full of my 2 rivers. whatever resistance there may be breaks a positive and stable force for a good will continue to grow expended birds plus mode. the actively advanced membership expansion deep solidarity incorporation with all the emerging markets and developing countries promote global multiple, etc, and great to democracy and international relations. and help make the international order more just and equitable. today was really a reminder,

all called bricks was born on how it has to cost overtaking to save it. and also we, it is a huge thing at this particular moment. the space of the people did not get to the same message that we are getting tired in speech, then it's really a put sheets. this really cement isn't the kind of role does that to the brakes. nations and the pick speed is changing currently. well, the highlights, as we're saying all day one was as the 5 brakes need to address the business for him. and they had so much optimism in their addresses. and each of them speaking about how i'm going to close it, 12 hours, see the place to see that it's full security aspect is closed. and as i was saying, not to polarity how we know which countries kind of big provides an offer on the

chinese present change and paying he his folks pass on actually did the address for him 11 by 11 down maybe. um and he spoke about how this was about peace of mind kind. it was, it was so optimistic and so thoughtful and uh we had a c, g, t, i know correspondence. uh, bring us more on what the chinese president type to say sell chinese fraud and shooting pain, said on tuesday that the world is coming to a critical juncture and has to decide whether to maintain fees and stability or slide it into a new cold war presidency also added that the china has no motivation for power, competition, or global hegemony. he said china stands firmly on the right side of the history admin. your believes a just cause should be pursued for the coming door to the world. and he also noted that the chinese economy is resilient with great potential,

adding the fundamentals of the countries long term, some economic growth will not change this or summit has invited many african countries to attend bricks plus activities at china and south africa will co chaired the china advocate, a leaders dialogue present to the things that the group of both for just scrolling through partnership and expand the brits plus model. and so far more than 40 countries, such as iran saudi arabia ad egypt have expressed interest in joining the group about 20 countries have, as formerly requested for a membership. now these countries represent the boys of emerging market is and developing countries, especially in the global south that will often and heated by western powers or the old world power. and they are sending a clear signal or message that they want to be heard. a little concerned need to be addressed and they want to take the initiative and promoting global governance reform and coming to the indian communist and render

moody. he was also filled with optimism at the start of the somebody spoke about how india is the was that solstice inquiring economy? he said that in coming use, india will be the grows to engine all of the. well, let's take a closer look at what the range of mo, data types of say. as of all 5 largest emerging economies are all set to meet and you have burg, hosted by the south african president, rama full. so the gathering comes to get or read an important steel political and g o economic junk chest. now this is the 1st in force and summit, which will be hosted in south africa ever since the co, with 1910 damage. and the conflict in ukraine began. can you believe to be crucial in balancing 0 political interest within the brakes proving how by keeping the focus intact on shared interest. i think this move towards most people that are the,

is shaping up into naturally in this significant way. vix would be a very good medium, the platform on which to promote the interest of the, the global solid because the large membership of the books actually because the data of the membership of the brakes is global. so i don't include china and russia as part of the global is out about in terms of their political approach. that they're thinking. uh, yes, they are very much of a integral to what the global soc wants to do, in terms of addressing the in balance and international relations. as we see, no rick sakes, to read an alternator to hobble for western blocks. and why not? bricks together constitute of 41 percent off the walls, population 24 percent of global gdp and 16 percent of global trade.

now remember, breaks expansion plans of joint interest from all 14 nations and no india is not a false to those plans. despite what some western reports have had to say, we've seen some baseless speculation that india has reservations against bricks, expansion. this is simply not true. we've talked about india's position of expansion and we have clarified opposition in the past as mandated by the leaders last year. brakes members are intimately discussing the guiding principles standards, right? syria and procedures for the breaks expansion process on the basis of full consultation and consensus. in fact, the indian government sources have told me that india good likely support inclusion of 3 to 4 members who rossi qualify as emerging economies. now remember, expansion will remain what are the top priorities off the summit this time? but the $1000000.00 question remains would involve your block means foster data.

otherwise we should do it as a mean are strong and proactive. effort to see how the instruments off period expansion, how best we can positioned in, in any given relationship. the on one of the 1st india, it'll be trade arrangements in recent months. has been the one which was announced . the way i'm given to understand that the initial shipments relating to in the home uh it will be treated have comments and have successfully been completed. uh, we are soon going to bring out a set off the standard operating procedures also do an extensive outreach to the business community for then to see how this and go to be treated. arrangements

could be leverage naturally. it would be of interest to see that it could be expanded to as many countries as possible as these economies come together. that couldn't be differences between 2 members of the block india in china. but that all some positive signals. for example, the border talks between the 2 nations, right to head off the brick summit. remember these discussions could also have an impact on the upcoming g 20 summit, which will take phase next month in new daddy, india, china. different say that a week or find a weakness in breaks because you've gone have deep understanding of the interest of both of all countries within brakes. if the vital differences between 2 major members of uh, brakes one can, as we have done in the boss, tried to outflank those differences and find a common their agenda. but beyond

a certain point, it will become difficult and that is of wanting also in terms of expansion, because you would be bringing in countries which would have a lot of differences with between each other. you'll say the west test flights to rifle ricks several times. i know you've seen it keeps coming back, and this time, even stronger than ever the giving up the flight to the door. meanwhile, in deals, priorities for the summit are quite straight. national currencies bought out some ties, economy and expansion because a lot of the skepticism in the west about whether the brick set community is on the same page when it comes to a lot of it's working for. it's one of them being the authorized ation. what are your thoughts mean? oh, they're absolutely on the same page as a result yesterday, president put in mention that amongst the members space, 230000000000 dollar trade has occurred. and that is evidence of the fact that the

dollar is that even a factor at the end is falling 10. you know, that is weakening the power or the influence that the us has on the global south. i think everybody recognizes that. they just better off utilizing their own cyber courtesy to build their economy and the present in preston, the silver. when he spoke yesterday, it struck me how he was so positive about the new development bank. he spoke about the endless possibilities that were instilled, but it also, hey, what he advocates, but you know, the bricks isn't here to rival the g 20 over to 8 or anyone else. it just wants to do the best for its own community and for the wider world. absolutely. because you know, the one thing that a lot of people tend to oversight is the fact that the g seven's are interest driven. great. any of these are interest trimming. groups and anytime it exceeds

beyond the g 7, it really does suppresses all the other member states forces. but the briggs as be mentioned throughout their respective speeches. it's an opportunity for them to be equitable and inclusive. and that is what the global sounds like you. absolutely, we've been speaking to so many interesting people with that to get their insights all and it breaks on what it stands for and where it's hiding. we spoke to the chief of strategists, to all the russian state, the company. here's what he has by speak of the russian is always has its own approach. we know that there are international standards that define higher requirements for green projects. and of course we finance like projects as well. all countries have their own understanding of green. they also use international standards which they adapt and that those elements which they consider important. every year we offer new ideas and projects. this is very important because the g 7 countries are very united to the point. if you want to speak at

a g 20 in other forums, you can see that they have a common position and they only slow be very hard for it. we also need such low b opportunities for them, such as the brakes for them, give us the chance to unite and consolidate our position in order to jointly achieve its implementation. we are large countries with large economies. the world cannot live without us. we occupy our unique role. we are all countries we have developed and economies. we have our own interests. at this point, we don't have the capital do independently realize our full potential. this is why we must unite. but if you want to keep on top of all the twists and turns off the rigs summit on day 2, we're going to be here throughout the day, every hour. so they stay with us personnel, the

right things to my colleagues, nikki, a new new and in johannesburg. turning now into moscow where our russian air defense forces have again stopped ukrainian and drone attack with cab using 3 you avi's to attack the moscow region. as, according to the russian ministry of defense, the the, the attack happened early wednesday morning with 2 drones destroyed by air defense systems. one was taken down by electronic defense systems and collided with a building in the moscow city business center. windows and the building under construction were damaged with glass, also shattered in several nearby houses. no casualties that were reported as rescue services. arrived on the scene, we spoke with somebody witnesses on the ground headed very loud explosion in around 3 in the morning and i just, i just look on the news, what happened? and it turns out i know that you training you a v e. so think there's under construction in most cases,

as you can see behind may the emergency services are working on the c and no information about casualties is yet, and i say we woke up from a loud noise. we have never had such strong explosions. we've just the across the street, the situation is scary, but we are used to it the yeah, i leave the bell to 7 minutes, walk away. the sound was as if something had exploded inside all courtyards. there was quite a loud ban and of course, immediately called emergency services. they called back up on arrival to notify us . but nothing had happened to know yet. that's what i said that they had to be an explosion in most could see. we were hanging out on the embankment. there was a flash, like a spark, looked to the left and so smoke, so were rushed to the scene. we saw that window had shed her the nearby houses, and many people will gathering emergency services arrived quickly. the

2 is in bubbling. now we're pulling stations have open for the general elections as people decide on the future of the nation. 11 candidates, including the incumbent president, are taking part of the race as the country faces. serious economic problems. local journalists to keep baptist reports from the grand, all of us and bob and voters would have the opportunity to exercise the democratic rights is the cost of the ballot. millions indeed i excited about voting. as you can see behind me, cues of people waiting to cast their ballots in votes, as will cast their ballots, elect counselors, members of parliament, and a president, and total of 6600000 people registered to vote. as you can see, the atmosphere has been totally peaceful with no violence that has been reported so far. the a total of 11 candidates vying for the presidential seats, but it ultimately comes down to 2 individuals incumbent president,

even don gadbois and triple c lead to nelson, somebody's up. the elections come at a time that the nation is grappling with issues such as a weak economy, escalating prices. the old candidates of assured zimbabwe is a better than bob we after they elected. but ultimately, is the voters today who will gets to decide the main race is expected to happen between 2 contenders, incumbent president. emerson among douglas leaves these on a p. f party and came to power in 2017. and that's as the former head of state resigned following political intentions involving the military who back to the current president. the other candidate as the opposition leader nelson shaneesa from the citizens coalition for change. think i'm 2nd in the previous presidential election, scanning 44 percent of the vote. whoever and gets the country's top job will face immediate challenges. living costs in zimbabwe have skyrocketed over the past year . was many basic goods up by as much as 90 percent with corruption remaining an

acute issue. we spoke with representatives terms and bob boys at main parties, a salo since he bought from the ccc party and overheard and hopefully from his on a p f on the importance and the main challenges of the elections election that actually comes after the you the public is it'd be invalid. see we have been empowered, the, the, the 2nd, the public here, which is everybody. none of these, it's the president of who is involved with the m as of monday. that's the completion of 5 years. this is given us the does allowed us to explain to people when the notary public is done in the past. but it's and there's a lot that we have to talk about and the people our, the successes and the, the implementation of most of the projects,

programs that we sent out by the pepsi is the last congress and the other places like in congress and say it is an issue that have been given to government in addition. so we're so excited about this development. and we convinced that people is now seen what is the prison to schedule 3? and what does that mean is capable, 3, in terms of invest starts of development, agriculture, minding also because they've been developed. we've also create this, an innovative measure as 2 to 2 clips. the scenarios, way we can ma'am, you know, which was on products that really haven't processed the actually, the owner is telling you said that teen glow to you. not the manual for money

pollution. that includes them. you know, nickel for free pass, nickel, freedom of movement, challenges that on staffing for them in the for the buildings and democratic lights as we enter into the next year. the biggest area of contest is university. has been the issue of the board us at all with the pointing stations the also a big issue. so is sylvia, did that also tell in the jews by the very nature they want to old elections as that each row without democracy? and this one of the things douglas been in the full frontal fighting kid phones have been putting personnel for a song since 2018 up to date that there must be fund i. mendota phones, the federal debt by the 80 of going, just issued. but what we have felt is a big is the one on the side of this is been the close of the democratic space. and obviously the attack on us is the north end decomposition. you know that we are in talk good to

a political bunch of financing that money wants to get away from us. but we have money to overcome that old stable were given charges to pay almost 1000 years dollars for every member of part. i mean, that is was equaling 221-0000 useful us 20000 for potential con, did for a new political been a vision which had been on the attack in us out. we will manage to make sure that we release the resources, things to the citizens effort in these involved when implemented to end the task for it's all right, much more to come from the day 2 of the bricks. i'm in south africa. do stay with us, right? here on our team, the

much any one big last of the school anyway, now i'm actually little dots doesn't push will pay you the doing much. anyone be true for citizenship anymore? so my total distribution still i don't know what.
