the the tricks group of countries exist not only to strengthen government to government relations, but also to forward stronger times between the pose of 5 nations. with over 30 nations and attendance at the breakfast, some of the leaders of the 5 member nations discuss their past to a multi fuller world, joins economic growth and sustainable development indian prime minister and the render moody praises the brakes alliance as a ray of hope for the world economy, while the brazilian president has the block as a driving force for global growth, that stands against bologna, elizabeth, shelter, plus whom. we cannot accept a new form of colonialism that imposes 3 barriers and disagreement at different

measures. and to make sure you join us live at, hey, from law spectacular rooftop studios in the house of john. it's because we take you through the day to all the 15th that breaks the stomach. zimbabwe decides its future pulling stations open across the country with people testing ballots for presidents as well as members of parliament. and the ukrainian drone attack on the moscow region is once again sorted by russian air defense forces. that's as a u, a b hits the moscow city business center. there's no casualties reported the you're watching are to international. i'm rachel ruble live from us, go. it is day to the 15th annual break summit in johannesburg,

south africa. the major geo political event detracts from leaders, politicians, and bright minds from all around the globe as multi polarity, adjusting world order, economic growth and sustainable development stand at the top of the agenda. all right, let's cross to our studio at the breaks venue with nicki. aaron and new waco at the heart of the event. the hello and a very welcome to south africa. the sun is shining, the sky is blue and white behind me in this building. the sun's houses, some very important and in vicious decisions are being made new. take us through some of the vicious agenda of the summit. well, at the top of the agenda, of course is the down the rise ation as well as the expansion of the brakes membership. and on that note, so many countries have said delegations,

if the heads of states couldn't be here, a representative to speak on their behalf and express the interest. and that's see a lot that speaks of value on the importance of breaks at this very moment and wide . the global structure needs to change when it comes to expansion of the blog. it's being said that not all of the latest on the same page. of course, there's some, some things that needs to be ironed out. is it too early to expand? is the emphasis structures really in place to accept new members? what do the new members offer if they come on board? there's so many details that needs to be ironed out, but i'm sure a consensus would take place amongst the members, and it's just a 3 day summit to over the into day to when possibly the biggest meetings will be taking place. and this morning, very big of

a must have question that the old going to be pondering is whether it's even possible to we shape the global governance of the well it's majority considering that the global south accounts to 85 percent of the world's population. so that the global soft do have an equal voice and decisions that affect its future because so far is being the minority after they've been making decisions for them doroty. but it seems that such a must have, i'm vicious undertaking as well so easily. you know that the south african vice president state said it and hit it on the now she said the current, the current structure feels like a part site where that makes the minority is making a decision for this massive continent and the global south who account for like you said, 80 percent of the global population and 80 percent is lot of small speed. that is a huge economic power. and this is why the bricks is being, uh, you know,

really speeding up the multi polarity structure. because these states nice to have an inclusive say. so what's happening for that? we spoke to quite a few very interesting guests yesterday. and they all seem to have the same thoughts in mind that focus through what they were saying. yes, absolutely. they all spoke about the importance of treating in local currency. they all spoke about how that has been and hinderance being reliant on the dollar, the small economies that are just trying to stabilize the development can't afford to trade on the dollar. it's just impossible. and that is why they've been stagnated, and they don't want to be stagnant anymore. and the other thing they kept focusing on is the importance of this fixed currency that should be gold, back. why? the continent is full of gold. that is the largest mineral on this continent, and it will be possible to do so. so why not? and they also spoke about global peace and development,

sustainability and security. and at the heart of that is the mission of the brain. absolutely. and with such a non specialist and vicious agenda, just seems like it's almost impossible, but i'm going to, i was born in south africa as nelson mandela once said, everything seems impossible until it's done, correct. okay, well the brakes business forms are like is the highlights. events of this i'm is 1st day with the brakes heads of state addressing the audience chinese leaders, the same thing reiterated that blocks quest for a more just and equitable it's a national border while russian president vladimir putin slammed the west as economic warfare as a threat to global security, that's as the host country had 0 ram, oppose the stress, the bricks, countries growing, economic weight, and transformation of the global economy depicts group of countries that exist not only to strengthen government to government relations,

but also to forward stronger ties between the pose of all 5 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. the not so we have all corresponding corolla toilet corolla, but lovely to see you on this sunny day. one of the highlights of the 1st day of the 15th. it breaks on me, please. uh, just type this through the highlights. well, use this so many to choose from. let's start with the, the fact that fans in the central business district hearing john is back as really transformed. if you will, into a higher security. you here, you know, police sirens blowing out it's,

it's really become fortified. and let's not forget the soup up. how was the shit that keeps making the rounds here? letting us all know that this is a no fly zone that no the sands is being taken when it comes to security of the leaders of the briggs countries plus the 30 for getting heads of states. we have over 60 heads of states. yeah. then this brings needs in south africa's side hosting of it. and this is potentially going to become one of the best break summit to remember they uh, maybe briggs uh, wanna bees that are knocking on the door that really have put the case across as to why they deserve to be here. and i think for me it's those deliberations. i wanted to know where the leaders were going yesterday after they left the business for them. and they went off to a retreat and i wonder, you know, i would love to be

a fly on the wall in such an instance. just to be the interest of the powers that be in terms of what the seeing as potentially be coming of breaks. but i really enjoyed the that south africa is really come into its own. it's, it's voice, it's, uh, it stands when it comes to the expansion of bricks. so i thought settled, i'm a pause. i really find that he came to the pots he and gave us an answer that we had also been waiting for. i think i think china really played, it's caught close to the chest if you will. they didn't really give away much the they spoke about, you know, for the cooperation, but the, you know, in everyday speech, i mean that's, um, that's why the, you know, they, but diplomatically, i guess they were on point of rush. i've sold that, letting me up with and really put the case across that the sanctions that have been put on the russian federation that's really hurt the, the, the,

the porters of the poor countries and those are mostly found here on, on the african continent. he spoke about the fact that the green deal was a failure that was struck between russia and ukraine, as most of the green ended up in the western world. and that the, the, the desires or the, the aspirations so fresh. so what really not adhered to it all the while they were expected to hold the end of the bargain? i felt the china also was in that speech, although it was not given by choosing thing, but i felt that it was, it was really representative. if you will, of the big brother in the room, i mean it did when so 5 to talk of. 1 the fact that the chinese companies pots, you know, the, you know, the people's republic of china, how about any emissions of hedge of money? and then they do not want to be a part of any global. and that's the last thing that the world means right now is

another portal. and i felt that was a very elderly position to take by the people's republic of china. and i really enjoyed what the lender moody also said. the prime minister of india who spoke about the fact that india will be a major drive off economy grows globally in the next 10 years. that it's a, it's forging ahead in his growth and that is managed to, to really and still itself, if you will, in, in some of the rather volatility that's been experienced in the world and take advantage of such. and, and that's really the message that i got from, from some of the big key does. and of course, the silver, the president of brazil went as far as to say that, you know, that has to be an alternative to the dollar that we must talk about in alternative currency. but one that will not replace our own national carriers. so i thought

that was pretty interesting in the sense that he spoke about the fact that no one wants to, you know, go into another call in the zation and that they, if avenue here for breaks to take leadership. and that's really what i got out of the sense of all the speakers that all the latest i spoke yesterday. i've got a sense that not only do they believe that the brakes, if they this arrived, the absolutely believe in the put thing. so of there's granting perhaps not as small as it is now, but we believe that it should be a factor in determining how the world grows from here. what does the rest of the segment having stories, colorado a lot has been said, a lot has been ironed out, but what should we expect for the rest of the segment?

well, for the rest of the summit, i think that they, if a lot of avenue that's going to be placed on trade on reducing the trade barriers between countries and the economy will, as orderlies, the, it's really takes center stage. and perhaps maybe we should listen to what um, what the, the 3 presidents we spoke so on behalf of the countries really have to say when it comes to the issue of the economy. that's our teeth, colorado. let's look. thank you. as we heard there, the indian prime minister felt appraisers for the bricks, economies ahead of his departure to johannesburg. new delhi said it favors briggs, expansion, or the full potential new members are currently knocking on the door of the blog is a line. so 6 to expand all these went in, so i'm, i looked at india as well and it's growth as it was 5 largest

emerging economies are all set to meet and johanna is burg hosted by south african president, several drama full. so the gathering comes together with an important geo political and g o economic juncture. now this is the 1st in force and summit, which will be hosted in south africa ever since the co, with 19 san 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 deep is shaping up internationally in this significant way. breaks would be a very good medium, the platform on which to promote the interest of the goal is out because the large membership of the brakes actually because the data deal, the membership with the brakes is global. so i don't include china and russia as

part of the global assault about in terms of their political approach that they're thinking, uh yes. and they have very much of integrity to what the, the result was to do in terms of either addressing the imbalance and international relations as we see. no rig, thanks to leon alternator to hobble for western blocks. and why not breaks together constitutes off 41 percent off the walls, population 24 percent of global gdp, and 16 percent of global trade. now remember, breaks expansion plans have joined 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 positional expansion,

and we have clarified opposition in the past, as mandated by the leaders last year. bricks, members are intentionally discussing the guiding principles, standards, criteria and procedures for the breaks expansion process on the basis of full consultation and consensus. and that the indian government sort of told me that india could likely support the inclusion of 3 to 4 members who rossi qualify as much economies. now remember, expansion will remain one of the top priorities of the summit this time. but the $1000000.00 question remains would involve your block means foster diesel. the rise ation. so it has a mean odd, strong and proactive effort to see how the instruments off period expansion, how best we can positioned in any given relationship or one of the

1st india. it'll be trade arrangements in recent months as being the one which was announced with the way i'm given to understand that the and you shall shipments relating to in the home. uh it will be treat, have comments found to 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 them 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 to find a weakness in breaks because you've gone to 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 agenda. but beyond a certain point it'll 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 say the west test flights to write off ricks several times. i know you've seen it keeps coming back. and this time, even stronger than ever giving up the flight to the door. the main line in deals,

priorities for the summit are quite straight. national currencies bought out some ties, economy and expansion. what did you is the this road and global trade falling and bricks eclipsing? the g 7 and key economic indicators, the brazilian and south african leaders have caused for changes to the global financial institution to reflect these development. yeah, brazil is president and there's also stress the importance of creating a new brakes currency as well as boost date. it can only cooperation with the blogs . the development fact paving the way towards a more balanced a global economy. local journalist at pace and the door i spoke to shaq polk demo and independent economic energy. and political analysts to say is, the brakes is pivots away from adults. help stations get control over the trade agreements. what would be the benefits of formalizing this grouping and having this charts are in place in terms of everything else that comes with

breaks and beyond visions and hopes like trades. well, let's, let's take it this way. there is trade happening. the by lodge is skewed in one form or another. if you look at one member of the police nations, brazil that freight, uh, they have bought a uh, i'd say, a positive balance with to try enough because they explore tomorrow to china insights optic out. we are importing more from china. then we are exporting to china, even though we exports and we're all materials by and large. so when you talk about the beneficiary sion of natural resources, the industrialization of the economies within the brakes, nations where you can have a real time manufacturing that can be in pets for that is where we are making. so the creating athletics all signs for me and breaks into an organ of a chart would by and large, assist in that regard, but also would give him pets. as to the top, we heading off

a breaks cut in c way by the appears to be a desire by a list of bricks member states to want to shift or move away from using the dollar as the means of seats among them. and moving over to a 100 and seats where they can have direct influence and also be able to i think have a line of control in terms of the economy splotches of their own perspective. nations . yeah, the stock is really buzzing with excitement and anticipation over the summit. we get the chance to speak to some business figures and dignitaries attending the brakes about their impression of the events 1st day. i think for me the because it gives you a motion for the young ones we're coming here to is to understand what is the heads of spirit of some of the fosters greek economies thinking and you don't that that driving insight is the energizing factor. i think the 2nd most important thing which i saw was that there is such

a viewing collaboration. the leaders are talking about piece cross growth interventions. this what we are looking for. i likes the fact that they are saying we must protest and continue to look at a agriculture because with a i and with technology advancements, people still need to be fax. you know, so, and that's a big element in terms of what is it that we can do as host countries on. i forgot we also looking at which teachers, in terms of the pronouncement due on the brakes conferences because many of us have read the, ask them on the african continent and then the other develop the developing nations as to why must we continue utilizing the dollar wouldn't be a play doing amongst each other. and as you have been watching your listening, there has been many expectations and anticipation being expressed at there is

a high expectation for this, isn't it? and if i'm so late a, the place is buzzing right now. they've got this really exciting on some vicious agenda who i'm speaking yesterday, or if it breaks me to seem to be on the same page. let's see what comes out of a day to today because we are taking you through all the very latest updates. i'm bringing you more exclusive interviews, stay with us on, on the international, the old, the latest bye for now. the . all right, taking a look at the other news now here in moscow, russian air defense forces have again stopped a ukrainian and drone attack with cube using 3 u. a these to attack the moscow region. as, according to the russian ministry of defense, 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 a building on our construction were damaged with glass, also shattered in several nearby houses. no casualties were reported as rescue services arrived on the scene, we spoke with some eye witnesses on the grounds. i had a very loud explosion in about 3 in the morning and i decided to come and use what happened. and it turns out i know that you trainings 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 busy at night say woke up from a loud noise. we have never had such strong explosions. we've just now across the street. the situation is scary, but we are used to it a lisa 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 in the nearby houses, and many people will gathering emergency services arrived quickly. the 2 is in bob blay, now were pulling stations of open for the general elections as people decide on the future of the nation. 11 candidates, including the incumbent president, are taking part in the race of the country faces serious economic problems. local journalist in case the baptist reports from the grounds, 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, voters 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 utmost fear 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. oh, candidates of assured zimbabwe and a bit as in bob we after they elected. but ultimately, is the voters today who will gets to decide as the main race is expected to happen

between the 2 contenders incumbent president. emerson among doug while leads design new p. f party and came to power in 2017. that's as a former head of state resigned following political intentions involving the military who back to the current president. either candidate is the opposition later and i'll send to me. so from the citizens portion for change. he came 2nd in the previous presidential election, scanning 44 percent of the vote. well, whoever gets the country's top job will face immediate challenges. living costs and zimbabwe have skyrocketed over the past year with many basics. goods apply as much as 90 percent with corruption remaining an acute issue. we spoke with representatives from zimbabwe has main parties, us dollars. this is eva from the state party, an over and po, food from xander p. f on the importance and the main challenges of the elections election that actually comes after you republics

is said the invalid. see, we have been empowered, the, the, the 2nd republic which is ended by none of these is the president of who is above with the m as of monday. that's completion of 5 years. it is given us the does allowed us to explain to people when the notary public is done in the best spreadsheets and there's a lot that we have to talk about 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 of the 5th is a good congress and say it is an issue that they've been given to govern for internet this. so we're so excited about this development. and

we some, these people have not seen went to the prison to schedule 3. and what does that mean if it's capable of 3, in terms of invest starts of development, agriculture, minding also because they've been developed. we've also created some, you know, bit to measure as 2 to 2 clips. the scenarios, way we can then, you know, purchase on products that really haven't processed the bell is telling you said that team glow to you know, 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 test at all with the pointing stations, the also

a big issue. so if so if you ask me that or to tell in the jews by that very nature, they want to old elections as that each row without democracy. in this one of the things douglas been in the forefront of fighting kid forms have been putting bustle for a song since 2018 up to date that there must be fund i. mendota phones, the bottle a bit by the area of going just issued. but what we have felt is the biggest head to one on the side of this is been the close of the democratic space. and obviously the attack on us is the north end decal position. you know that we are in talk good to a political bunch of financing that money was taken away from us, but we have money to overcome that old struggle. we're given charges to pay almost 1000 years dollars for every member of parliament that is, was equaling to 210000 years to last $20000.00 for potential con, did for a new employee total. then a vision which had been under attack and also.
