in johannesburg, south africa as a very special coverage. all the work summit day to the issue of security and a peaceful resolution, so that ukraine crisis has been on the agenda. corrections in ukraine, dictated by one saying, let's put an end to the world that was on least by the west, the m. s. satellites and ukraine against people living in the don't bass. we are ready to join the assets so that we can effectively contributes immediacy as far as the everlasting piece, the fly from moscow, this is our t international. i'm rachel ruble. russian federal authorities confirm wagner military group to see if you had any promotion was listed as a passenger on a private jet that crashed and rushes to their region north west of moscow. however, it has yet to be determined whether he was actually on the flight. investigators are currently attempting to identify the bodies of those who died. the guarding the

preliminary data of the plane was flying from moscow to saint petersburg, carrying 7 passengers and 3 crew members rush innovation commission is now carrying out initial activities of the scene has also started collect conceptual data on the cruise proficiency. the technical conditions of the aircraft, the weather conditions along the plains route, as well as the operation of dispatching services in ground based radio technical equipment for me right now in russia's fair region where this plane that was heading from moscow to st. petersburg crashed in the crash sites just a bit farther down the road behind me. but as you can see, the police have set up somewhat of a roadblock here. they're only allowing official vehicles to get closer to the actual address site. but in terms of what we do know about what happened, rushes, federal air traffic agency said that the chief of the wagner, private military companies getting promotion, was listed on the list of passengers that was supposed to be on board this flight. and according to the emergency services, all 10 people on. busy unfortunately weren't killed,

but we do not have any sort of official confirmation that pre gordon was one of them yet. or we don't even know if there's going to be an official confirmation of that. we don't even know if he was actually on the plane itself. although, like i said, according to this list, he was supposed to be now, according to the federal air traffic agency, they've put together a specific committee to investigate what actually happened on board the plane. what caused this crash to happen? and the russian investigative committee is looking into it has a case of potential criminal negligence. they think that there could have been some violations of airspace safety rules that played into what brought this plane down. now, of course, there are a lot of questions that are left on answered so far in this developing story, but we're going to be here throughout the night and into tomorrow so that we can hopefully get some answers to those questions and get some more information that we can bring our viewers while it has yet to be confirmed. whether you have got any

for goes in was indeed on the jed. rumors about his potential death had been quickly spreading. people have already set up a moral outside the wagner groups headquarters in st. petersburg, as well as at the entrance of a cafe, closely associated with produce them. earlier, my colleague, peter scott discussed to the wagner leaders long and at times controversial career with r t correspondent shaped bows. i suppose he's a man that needs very little introduction on a global stage. you've got any pre goes in this car is not a very colorful carter who has a sort of preoccupied a lot of our time in the media here and abroad. born in 1961, to an average family and the soviet union in leningrad as it was then called, now saint petersburg. as on an average, i hoped bringing. he spent some time actually uh, in brushes with the law. the 1st when he was a convicted of a minor of fraud,

i believe, and he got to a couple of months probation 2nd time round. he, at a got a prison sentence of significant presence and some of the 13 years of which he served 2 years and a penal colony. he got part in the 1988 and that the cygnus for that kind of change in, in his life. he was a very talented or is a very talented and entrepreneur. everything he turned his hand to attempted to do very big. he begun and st. petersburg by sending cost dogs, but ended up operating a large chain of the supermarkets initially. then restaurants, which culminated in him actually wanting at the new river restaurant the most uh, sort of a lavish restaurant in russia where had stayed off and met and hosting big big events. so it's really in 20142016 when he had diversified into the p. m. c. area, the private military contractors. the wagner group,

which had an elaborate and extensive region to africa and other countries assisting their military's or militias. fighting in the regional conflicts invited in and funded by them. and this is where for goes when he comes to international recognition. and certainly, so in june of this year, when one of his very public spots with the russian ministry defense, the wagner group play a central role in the military oper, a single frame particular around that city of blackwood, which was the scene of a very brutal battle between the wagner fighter supported by the russian military defense and of course the ukrainian military, the precaution having very public spots with the ministry defense, calling out the defense minister, showing gu, demanding a better uh, servicing for as far as troops, equipment shelves, etc. and it was the last of these and june last year, which culminated in this march on moscow as it became known. where he had decided

he was going to take a significant force of his fighters the some heavy military equipment on march on moscow and make his way towards the capital to confront. as he said, the heads of the administrative defense about his issues with them is culminated in the statement by president putin. very clearly setting out the stall that the russian states saw this as a, as an act of rebellion or a mutiny essentially. and it really is made very clear to read mr. pre goshen on his and his followers that this was going to be mad with a significant response from the russian state. thankfully, it was a de escalate it in a bloodless way. the over the where some people, unfortunately kill on that occasion. also, airman, it was uh, the escalated and part of the deal. was that the okay for the ocean would leave ocean go to bel, russia, which is where he was last seen. interestingly, many days ago, you know,

gave me pre the ocean turned off in africa. and he made some quite that blindly statements of the working for russia in africa. we're going to have a listen to that, a statement he made no more of them. we are working, the temperature here is plus 50 degrees celsius, just how we like it. ladner is carrying out recognizance, making russia even greater on all confidence and africa, even more free, bringing justice and happiness to the peoples of after guns. we are giving i sold al qaeda and other bandits a nightmarish time. we are now hiring true warriors and continuing to carry out the assigned tasks. the ones we have promised to complete. yeah, was it just a very interesting element to the story, peter, when a pre goshen was heading wagner and fighting against the ukrainian army and making his very public statements challenging the russian ministry of defense. he was

adopted by the western media on occasion as a terrorist leader, leader of a very brutal group fighting against the ukraine. and on another occasion, as of mine who was carrying a noble standard towards the crown. and when he decided to make his march on moscow, so this uh la carte view and the west uh what a good guy is and what a bad guy seems to be based on the enemy of my enemy. as a friend, if you're not into russian, you're a good guy. if you're a pro russian, you're a bad guy. so i suppose this attitude now is being carried forward in the west or earlier on the west or mediately it off with sort of the speculation in the vacuum . we're not actually knowing what was actually going on here and motion as we still have some at facts to flash out as well before we make these days. but the western media, very eager to add, jump to so position in this in this vacuum, even the us president joe biden making a statement this evening. and we can actually ever listen to that note. i don't know for, for us without us not much i don't know what

he says himself. i don't know what the facts are, but that seems to be the, you know, a pre supposition of a lot of stuff. the west of media says when it comes to what's going on, the rush of peter, and so it's no surprise to us. but you can imagine had the level of energetic soul position and conspiracy to realizing that will go on around this as we wait here in moscow for more evidence before we even make statements here. so monday to the 15th annual break, somebody in south africa has drawn to a close this major geo political. busy event has attracted world leaders, business tightens and academics from around the globe, a more multi polar world order, sustainable development, and fair trade are just some of the many issues being addressed at this year's event. the, the

well, the 5 lead is of the break summit spoke at the plenary session today on the day to the nations adult to the document. assessing parameters for the blocks expands and then us, according to the south african foreign ministry. the country's top officials have also addressed the importance of creating joint efforts to develop africa and a multi paula world, south african for administered in that id. pandora shared her thoughts on the form . we have agreed on the merits of expansion. we have the documents that we've adopted with sets out a guidelines and principles processes for considering countries that wish to become members of the brakes. the more detailed announcement will be made by the brick fleet is before the conclusion of, of the summit. so that's very positive, i think as well the establishment of the women's a alliance with the brakes is extremely important. and use formation. for the 1st

time we had 2 young people, 2 young lead is addressing the brakes leaders and in a very, very i to, to positive and inspiring mind. setting out the explorations of young people, of the brakes. countries for the role that they hope of bricks will play in the development of young people. and the responses for the leaders are insightful as well. focusing on skills is key areas, but also welcoming our youth. one global partnership. so want to relate to each other across the regions that may come, breaks the russian farm. this is a life office, how talks with his south african count, the pond, somebody that i depend on in victoria, the top different as discuss, the expansion of biological ties between the 2 countries. early a south africa as president on stomach highest serial. i'm gonna say is that it's

just the vital need for international cooperation, advancing the african agenda for us is a strategic priority a. so the africa, a jordan, it's to ship of briggs. we welcome the ongoing engagement of fix countries without pre khan and the spirit of partnership and mutual respect. bricks, nations needs to advance the interest of the global to solve for leaders have held it open plenary session just hours ago where they proposed a number of interesting points. russian president vladimir put into his brits counterparts, attention to their geo political role, st. that block rejects neo colonial ambitions in embraces peace and conflict resolution. now let's go to our live correspondence. let's go to the videos. so were you going to be a, is nicky? i knew in the studio,

take us through what was touched upon during the open session today. of course, the key at the new b, as you'll see, the 2nd dates possibly briggs segments really started off on. it's a very positive note, i must say. and we had the aside from leaders from the greeks, nations, a leaving some sort off of the market and prisons inputs and haven't joined us to visit with you via a video link to really gave us something that a lot of people around me tend to say that it was not expected if the president told us that russia was working very hard just to establish a multi polar road. that is, of course, based on a mutual respect and mutual appreciation. and also based on the policies of, of the united nations, the president, i think that this is weird. now, be surprised, came in for a lot of people to present a shade somewhere just on the ukraine conflict between russia. saying that to much of the actions by the wisdom countries, this was as

a result of how russia my i responded to the war between itself and ukraine. also seeing that there were some countries really wanted to, to maintain that and continue the hedge, monique, and that's one of the reasons that, that's the, the, a major, the conflict turned out to be how it is it did. of course, it turned out that the president also said that to the actions of russia in the important split between ukraine really were pushed and dictated by wisdom countries that we've seen those to where we will unanimously support the formation of a multi part of world order that is truly just them based on international law, while respecting the key principles of the un charter, including the suffering rights and respect for the rights of age, people to the own development model. our actions in ukraine dictated by one thing to put an end to the goal that was unleashed by the west, the m. s. satellites and ukraine, against people living in the dumbass, with grateful twat bricks,

colleagues who are taking an affective pump. and at times to end this situation and achieve adjust, settlement by peaceful means. the quest piece is really what the narrative of the day was. and chopping those sentiments. i must tell you, was the president present to me that the soul. but seeing that my brussel was also ready to join efforts in the conflict between the 2 countries and also very much so calling for peace and a ceasefire between the 2 countries also mentioned the fact that you play a role or rather do conflict show the the the limitations and weaknesses of the united nations security council. and i think that the most important and the highlights of his speech was the fact that he mentioned that there was a lot of conflicts around the world and a lot of schools. and none of those concepts really received the kind of attention that to ukraine conflict to received. and that's really close to. so the kind of one side of that to wisdom touches continues to need. what did the president also

quote on 6 nations, to the, to the pro, fees excruciating around the world, but at least we, we are ready to join the assets. so that's can effectively contributes immediacy. as far as the everlasting piece, the ukraine was shows the limitations of the un security council money. all the conflicts and crisis did not receive the due tension for events that are causing the vast suffering of the people. patients you have and it people lead bins to done using palestinians is asked to leave in peace. our trade and financial system should be reactivated as a to verify trades, predictable and non discriminatory. creation of advantage common units for trade transactions and investments for the brakes. countries will increase payments options and reduce all of other abilities in cases everyone and all nations deserve to be in peace. and of course, as i've mentioned before, the quest for peace is a collective effort. and that's exactly what

a lot of need is today. agreed upon that and the key, i mean i came to us close live to come up with the toddler. now colorado focus through the main points. please would love to hear your thoughts. well, the big uh, united spring force behind the brakes countries has to remain economic cooperation . it is the driving force that will make them the grouping event is powerful, impactful, and influential when it comes to well the 5th in the future. and it is that resist that so many and looking at the door trying to get into this exclusive club of 5 and trying to make the best of really catching a train that is really in motion and is going to be making some headwinds in a little time, you know, the thing about bricks is that it was really set off. and when you cannot make publish it. but it was the development of the, the rather the initiation of the,

of a bigger development bank that really should them into the next, for an see, it allowed the different economies from difference fee is of, of the world to really, you know, speak with one language to hi, list those images even more and the use of, of local currencies as letting me a points and intimates of yesterday that only 29 percent of transactions, data between bricks and members, was done in dollars. that really goes to show just how independent the group is becoming just a and how less fundamental, how less vulnerable is becoming especially to the american way of uh, of, of dealing with countries that they do not agree with. the dollar has been both incurred at mistake, and this regarding the use of local courtesies of the brakes. members has really allowed members to, to even share the, the, the community share the volatility and really stabilize themselves with in

themselves. now, the development of, of a new development bank of the briggs and goes to serve not only the 5 members, but the great uh, south and community of countries is the. we've had many treatments during our briggs during the bridgestone development bank plays an important role in the development of the counties of the global south. through its contingency reserve. we have created a financial safety net. and i would also like to place in front of you a few suggestions. one of the most important ones, east operation in the area of space. we have already been working on the bridge satellite constellation, taking a step forward. we've been thinking about creating a brief space exploration consortium. and today was just the use of india. uh, sending it's uh it's, it's vehicle to the moon and making a more lending. the image is just some of the power that the 5 countries could have . if synergies among these members and the render moody's really speaking about

what one might deem and i'm for seeing the low hanging fruit there is, i'll put you in if it's almost a break. and if they include you, new members strategically to this group, we had to ride to a more, more prosperous and a much, much more leading story of the economies of the global west. many thanks to both of our wonderful correspondence corroborates hotline and i'm going to view your account that you've been absolutely fantastic and breaking all those points down for us. you know, it's a really interesting new new to see what each of the breaks leaders has had to say and what their expectations are for the future of griggs that has and it was stood out to you. oh absolutely. i think they all brought to the table chains that link them together and that is going to be one strong chain that won't be broken. and it's definitely a, you know, from creating space industries that will help lift these poverty through

stricken nations to brokering m. o. use that would be building institutions, educational institution, and just there's just a plethora of things that they all promise that will, you know, come to fruition and i'm just looking forward to when those stays, come. absolutely. speaking out, the breaks kind of recession early on wednesday, tony's president agent playing said aging is on the wrong side of history, especially importance of cooperation and achieving sustainable global peace and prosperity last week. so the breaks countries should be solid companions on the journey of development and revitalization, and opposed to coupling and supply chain to disruptions. as well as economic coersion. we should expand political and security cooperation to oppose peace and tranquility with more than 40 countries aspiring to become bricks. members, and as a share of the global economy on the rise block seems to be in increasingly more

feasible alternative to the traditional western economic and political dominance. nelson mandela's grandson says there is a j, a political shift currently underway that is favorable for the breaks group of nations to become even more powerful. yeah. and no tentative way to what we have been seeing in terms off with the dominance of a uni paula system. and it breaks con, the countries in the on tentative and with the quality fellowshipped. we see with the fruits countries, imagine most of them i've done the to 7, most of them about drinking. i think a countries us really seeing that there is the new alternative. but i think that would expand in particular has been what is being that i've talked to, to many countries to say that here's an alternative to the world. been going to the i a man friend. it doesn't come with the stringent interest rates that it has. we

are also looking at with interest in terms of the pronouncement due on the brakes conferencing because many of us have been asking them on the african continent and in the developing nations as to why must we continue utilizing the dollar wouldn't be trading amongst each other we are also looking forward to see as to what is going to be the announcement in terms of the way the new critics say, kind of a member of countries that want to join them. critics spectrum on a gross and the cooperation have always been an integral part of the bricks agenda . and this current summit has been no exception. we spoke with the chairperson of the map on yeah, business group. it says the blocks economic policies are inclusive and welcoming to new partners. the emphasis on facilitating the trade, making it easy for people to making it easy for x rays to happen. i think for

me was that was the key to cover the brakes. countries now have some parts of the g 7, a in terms of trade. we are at 32 percent. i think that one to 32 and the g 7 is that about 30. so that already is a significant move. it just says back to this is a formidable formation. uh, that's a really is, is proving to be attractive to other countries. that's not necessarily a within the brakes. i'd like to participate and enjoy the same. and more than half of the local population, really, if you can see that, i'll freak out with a 1.31.4000000000 china with 1400000000 india. russia. so when you put the whole group together and you look at the pertain shot, but also i think the think around moving away from the norm and looking at what is just and not just the energy, but just and equitable. and it's a new way,

i suppose, of a meeting. everybody will have much more. a top notch analysis here on our tea is we bring you all the latest from the 15th annual breakfast all night in south africa. don't miss our special coverage of the crucial global gathering. the susan bob blay now where voting in the presidential election has been extended in selected areas due to delays and logistical problems. 11 candidates, including man come that late are in the race for the top political office of the southern african nation. a reporter keith baptist has the details. let me take you through a tool of how voting works here in zimbabwe. when a person that lives, they then go and should been names on the board as role. and once that is confirmed, you then receive 3 valid papers. the 1st for the president,

the 2nd for this not assembly. and the 3rd one for local authority, the counselors ones the vote, as receives about the ballad papers. the person then proceeds to a secret boot where they mock the ballad papers. after that, the individual then proceeds to cost the ballad. then it's done to ensure the poles of free and fair political parties have assigned agents each from the political parties to cover each police station. as in bob way is approximately 12370 parting stations across the country. officials yeah, i working tirelessly to ensure a fair and front spot, an electronic process. we spoke to mr. mccone upset e as in dozen bible electro support network, and he has what he had to say. mr. mcclinton, can you tell us what it is as it is, and we add this and bubble your legs and support network, the single largest uh, look opposite a group in zimbabwe. okay. can you tell us uh, a little bit more about um, the election process. the whole thing is started

a little bit slow now actually, because of, uh, uh, the shortage of a some what the material understanding is that, uh, the local consul pause. uh, it kept me in late in most places, and as it is out watching, which was supposed to start at 7 am could only start in some places uh, after 10 pm and in other places. uh, what do you use to to start because of the challenge this election of 2023 compared to the previous election? um what's your thoughts on the selection and how is it different to the previous slide? firstly, this election has been largely beautiful compared to previous elections, but again, compared to previous elections in terms of organization, i think that's the selection. it would have been a nice bit duct, particularly the distribution of materials which, you know, come in very late in constituents, is particularly in the bin areas. but we have had

a place is as ice pics. now we have not received materials in the 2018 elections materials arrived at, at putting sessions i had of time, and by 7 am, when putting session the putting this started, the old materials were available and people were able to cost the voice. well let's take a closer look at the 2 main contenders vying for the government's top job current. president emerson among god, while leads design new p. s party and came to power in 2017. he took over after the former head of state resigned following political attentions involving the military . the other front runner is opposition later, nelson to me, so from the citizens coalition for change. he came in 2nd in the previous presidential election, securing half the 44 percent of the vote. whoever wins the public vote will face and media challenges. living costs and zimbabwe have skyrocketed over the past year. prices on many basic goods are up by as much as 90 percent.

will corruption remains an accused issue and we heard from the local voters to say, taking part in the elections. is there a way of ensuring a better future for their nation? what forced me is that i am a c t's analyst and bob with this is my country. and even going to see i'm, i'm one of the young generation. so want to make sure that we are participating in the moving 4 countries specially choosing all it does. because if we choose what he does, why is the, those are the ones who are creating a good future for us. i'm pretty happy about this because it's my 1st time i'm very tipsy. i think i wonder do you cuz there's made, i find, you know, a name. so it's very difficult. so we took the time now we are doing the cube because most of the day more as we could find your names. i didn't face any challenges. i just came.
