it must be the most large scale events i've visited in the last few years. in total, there are about a $130.00 exhibitions and over $1500.00 items of interest to explore, covering various fields and industries from sports to taishan, the economy and all things digital you name it. but one of the most interesting expeditions is definitely the one showcasing all 89 regions of russia. russia is quite multi cultural as well. so this is the perfect way to get to know the country a little bit better. and right here we have the appointment called also i as we can see, which is famous for its nature, a lot more. but we'll find out from this lovely person here as well as the human republic of all time. it is wonderful land of mountains. it has the most beautiful nature and picturesque landscapes the

we were present, our republic 3, the national all have poems which are you, netscape, most of bees. the entrance you agree to is by the main parts of the story to the right. there was a sacred tree from the poems that signifies the trinity of the world head the visitors can tie a special ribbon, make a wish that will surely be granted to them. there's lots that offer up the international russia expo tours, lectures, concerts, festivals, master classes, and seminars. the list is never ending, so it's a good thing that there is about 6 months to enjoy it. because one day is definitely not enough to take it all. and so if you're in moscow, stop by and get immersed in the past presence and the most c future of russia as well. that meantime, a, the most sanctioned country in the world that of russia is in the green with the economy expected to grow by nearly 3 percent next year. though the same can be said

for the countries that sanctioned russia, most of them are in the red with their economies already rupture. this is the international the, the hello i'm manila chan you are tuned into modus operandi. summer of 2023 was all eyes on africa between the massive brick summit which saw the admission of new members and the application of dozens more to join the blocks to the multiple crews that broke out in former french colonies. we'll take a birds eye view into the defacto leader of the consummate south africa. all right,

let's get into the m o the . it was all eyes on south africa this summer. as the brick summit was the invite that everyone in diplomatic circles wanted to receive, had vladimir putin attended in person. this would have been the 2nd time he'd have seen around the post address this year alone. the war cannot go on forever for was have to be set to then come to an end at some stage. and we are here to communicate a very clear message that we would like this will to be and that putting around my post that spart as some describe it earlier in the summer, when an african delegation went to st. petersburg in june to present their ideas on

a peace plan for moscow and kids. now, speculation looming on whether or not prudent would attend in person due to that questionable international criminal court arrest warrant that was issued south africa. the host nation is a signatory to the i, c. c. they had signaled that they would not abide by the agreement should vladimir prudent attend, but couldn't join by video link. instead, to avoid making this summit about himself and focus more on the mission of the group. meanwhile, at home, present from a post that is facing an uphill battle to remain in power as he and the amc party begin to lose popularity. joining us to discuss all of this, this is clinton ends all a he is a journalist and political analyst and commentator at african stream. he is joining us now from nairobi, kenya, thank you for joining us, clinton. so 1st, let's discuss the brick summit. this year was posted by south africa. there were

a lot of controversies surrounding the summit. so let's 1st start with that rumor that french president and manual ma crone was handing it wanting an invite to the summit. now france is not a member state, was this a deliberate move by my calling to sort of put run the posts in this awkward position and obviously my cronin didn't get that invite. so was that the right move on south africa's part, especially now given that the, the recent who went to a crew to todd and other african states who were former french colonies a yes, i agree. i think this needs each was an attempt to come up with the same mental position. i mean they, they request that not for me like to say, wow, fax is not able to be sent. but i think that i did not much to go. i think gift you shouldn't have been very strange,

but i think what makes it is and you said i'm on the demand that it made for my crow to to attend the brakes on it. you said, put, you should know that. and so this is stage mostly done in that. putting has to do right to be difficult for us. it's a new movies and friends has to do right? yes. but now you got to the front switch, which i hate instead of the kid 2 months, which is very strange. it's like your friend that uh i, they always have good skill when that's what i'm. yeah, that's what they guess this. let's use that to, to the guess this, but um, uh, what are the conditions you that's why don't their cousins we think. ready the waiting, shooting the attend, so it's ready for that as a guest. you in the sugar to do you see this doesn't make too much just the one that was on the other side so they can now, what did you should the discretion should be more in depth watkins? now you see, these are the 1st of all. yeah. then you have to teach,

pull it back instead of just waiting to say, just when you findings acceptable that i do come, you didn't know why should i be joining too much to say i can come to the c d i think so i can look at the sofa shows that probably doesn't even want to do that. he just wanted you to find a mentor to but the maintenance i need to try to move onto the survey. i need to just throwing this by the subject. so what to see now, that idea and i assigned mutual, this might be changed, it wants to, that'd be looking at issues that are going to be discussing. some of the numbers fractions make easy. so the 1st interest into joining briggs items. you guys that i wanted to discuss would be sunny. but unfortunately, because of this drama just around the attendance of people i want to attend the attendance of for to alaska has been to, to at least you have, i think taking the photos away from the issue that you're looking for should be

looking at the list of issues that we get. how does that sound? so now you have to for us on the flip i need to be in. so yeah. so do you by doing that? no, no. i mean i definitely just put mine has items. uh my let me just so you said fox news. let's see. yeah. so my goodness, maybe i can watch that much as attrition equals or exceeds so. so all for yeah. now it's not just korean, it's present, puts in is going to attend. what does that mean? to attend because we have stories, the ones that have requested you need to see, but at the end will be attending that was just additions. that's what we've decided to make to china. so making all these from has taken that we focus from other issues around to see i just, i'm just going to see the introduction of the breaks cutting. i'm going to see more questions, edits. would that be a washing that is going to take? so i can do something, munitions that,

that now be pushed into this was an inclusion to pick one of the stations. that's probably there was never philippines. but i've seen that for the waste moved from from the beginning. they don't want to see we succeed, cause it's rich to that one. so somebody said that because the width to so south africa is also a member state to the i. c. c, the international criminal court. now, months ago the i c. c issued an arrest warrant for the russian president vladimir putin, over the alleged kidnapping of ukrainian orphans. we've heard from south african officials such as the foreign minister and the lady, pandora, and a, and see secretary general q a in blue. who said they would have waived this warrant in favor of prudence, actually attending the summit. now obviously you didn't go in person, so they were not put in this tough position. but were there any repercussions to

them on the international stage for this position that they took, i mean, to the hague, respond in any way. it was, like i said when the number for that in the one with sticks to see what kind of cost you target to. so that's okay. yeah. names to the submitting the 1st thing is going to happen. so like i've said, wow. so that's definitely need to get this out, the whole solution, kind of going to switch and so, and then the back to the test of what i usually see essentially this comes from was politically does before give you the interest rates for choosing ne, how they nice to see just be seen as a whole the quotes of discrete it's and it has done most of these read so, so there's no set up which is good to go. i think you guys are going to, you know, the orange unfortunately to that they've been put in this position. but like i said, the governance, which is of course, the governments get

a response from the political but which is the nc, and seeking them by the easiest city to general the nc. so see if i can certain portion of the mc most of the, of the places and submitted this. i've got a couple of deals and i see that is the hazard, kitchens that you put into the dentist that you just woke up so that you can see my i do not see a government budget from that position and that was so busy, very high chance oh, i see, i think snowing deep. yeah. oh somebody in this. how does that seem putting in handcuffs and of course is going to butler's from the i see see much and see what else and can do. i mean, what nights, what can they do? so that's what punishment that they went in for so. so that's good. so is going to show a little when get biased and is, and i think if they took

a very nice position. so that's like a good. busy when i talk to you that quote quite a few minutes because a lot of people and it doesn't put in people from the what he does calling for, they kind of withdrawal from that's just said he just said to use by what some countries fix some countries that the c a individual didn't receive up into me. so i see, i see you this background check in this and i think i'm just going to give you the most cause for the kind of portal that was, that did the work in order for me to say, just coaches is distributed each you seem to be i mean, capture the majority of the people who really died by the i c c. i people. so not because i know 2 people from west 1st and they go to another place. people can see can see little to be the width, have completed my getting this done one people, but mostly, you know, the, for the lens. we've seen the, there was actually was it is we yeah, the i just wanted to prosecute said in us,

so just to kind of take them so that is, you know, to know that you can choose you see, uh you saw both by this time would you mind if i close it, they'll kitchens. let's see, people coming to see it as an expensive, they need to know how to do prosecution side becomes very difficult for the st. doesn't see the eyes to see if the airports i the cartridge it just if i was hoping that somebody was i'm looking for the night of this, just definitely come for a gift for the quote, informing us that was especially in the global side. we haven't but as you can see that it's my so i think before we go into the. ready elements, so with a somebody it's due to not to do more questions and say, it's kind of funny enough because he does, let me do this kind of friends, or maybe he doesn't use them. you surface of all, that's what beats attach for the quote. if it caught the village because i didn't

so, so that's we got the info. so that's why don't quote you the money that wants to see just sending you some useful my notes of what this is on the west, the work i'm for that is but if you're going to to honest with you, going to didn't. if you took the doctor to seize using the coverage for that risk, which is well the policy not. so i think it would be if that has to be going against eastern time, but also again is what it's used additional to much. oh yeah. all right, coming up next south african president serial run the post was embroiled in a financial scandal. busy that had some critics convinced that sofa gate was proof of corruption. we'll discuss it when we return with clinton and solace. a type m o will be right back the

the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality. distortion by power to vision with no real opinions.

pictures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills. and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground? can the walking back to the m o i manila chance. so every year, millions of people lose things in the couch. cushions regularly. do your spring cleaning and you'll find, you know, a cell phone remote controls, loose change old snacks. but how about half a $1000000.00 in cash? that was just one of the fights, serial rama posts that was facing, losing big money in the sofa for clinton and all that is best with us to discuss it. thank you for sticking around. quinton,

so let's get into these domestic affairs within south africa. 0 around the plaza was not that long ago. charged with a corruption scandal more than half a $1000000.00 worth. he was recently cleared of any wrong doing, but can you, can you tell us more about that case, but many outlets have called sofa gate. ok. yes. so this gives you 2 must be known as the us, canada. so the name was from that to then suit on the one is the the public purpose which is not all joint inspection. so. busy that's what i'm trying to do to kind of 2020 by 20, came to the public at the entrance to sort of the story. is that something we can quote, we front of the wake of the funny story about $500.00 and i put these to $582000.00. that was the test new for the phone. so i took it to

the gifts individually, probably got vision. i'm afraid. the reason for my doctor comes to get into the dental vision exams, and that's what we did was study. they said this might have gotten into space. can somebody like you said, the company, the store, their money? i don't know because i discovered that she did not report to the police, but she instructed when you put it into he said, oh, security pulls out all kinds of i had those criminals or those individuals rounded the charts and images some of the money in the web page, some money to they will be getting in the queue so that it can give you the support from the probably 2016. so what did you have? of course, the one to one is age. that'd be my name. and then you also, what do you say he put them in the private provision? what do you say, why don't you not each you will certainly prime or the transfer me to somebody. and you don't know,

since they don't solutions of to say it money check engine for the image of 550000 . you try to give you money. you saw jason christian to see how did you in mind it was manufactured into that yeah. when to deposit, to find out i'm looking for to to seize habitate, texas. well, the money i saw the venetians, that's been push, i'm a product. so the inquiry that was on the project that we should get clear. so they said it was not on 3. the save it on a post i when he discovered it to, to push it to keep 0 secure, excuse digital security was a police officer for the state by default of that you blast hit a security. and unfortunately, the 2nd does not get to the doesn't previously, maybe it's just 2014, which is higher. so, but oh yeah, it did is from a processor position was run up also. wanted to watch is when she was set up, as

a general to know was impeached, was impeached on that list, correct activities. so the jim, when i come to see was when to read the insult it typed, but just think of, you know, being associated with a bunch of more like almost every, every month. that new horizons kind of sort of opposing shrinkage. and when he became the head of the n c, i'm the president. it was an implant change from the judge. see the instant i'll get sitting there, but i don't do it. i don't know if it is that is a nice you used on the line just reading the simple vision as well, like what else and additions? yeah, mr. roma posts as party the and see still maintains a majority in the 400 feet parliament. but it appears that the opposition party f f is gaining traction among voters in the country. did the money scandal that we called sofa gate impact party popularity at all?

and, and can you explain for us the fundamental differences between these 2 parties to yes, so 1st of all, i think the, the model is kind of this of, of this kind of definite is going to the didn't individual from us all the see. but unfortunately, that's the, that's well, this is already as a student, so much production that's people i don't know when these us, that's kind of like most people they, it's kind of complex. it's to see what options, very someone westbridge in nancy. i'm just the, for the success of all this if i was support, has been displayed in the previous admin fee and the recent directions. so for instance, the last elections that the incident was going to 19 and if i took port 57 percent of the initial form, that was it dropped overboard. i to say because i'm pretty 14 that pulled down 62 percent. so even though it's part of the top truck from uh,

296 in 2014 to 250 seats extension 19. so it shows that they have to redo the losing support. and the people like that being the middle school easy understand the reason why the moving towards the bottom it's, we don't fight, does the is if you see as the. ready well, so that the provision of the n c state university does that, do the victim from the decision was if i have friends used to be the dnc and many other people, listen to the actual to that the industry has moved from district a couple of issues 80 studies just looking through the center. i can fix it, read it some states not to do the right. so they have to make us like united provisional, b, e, n. c. you said partridge to do today is the point of decisions at the end of the community. so to do that,

but it's just of the like you the that the she was you really going to assist you because it comes with like people. oh wow. i mean, well that's of interest since it's of interest in the computer. so i didn't wanna just throw 10 percent of the lot in the country. so these are the issues with the industry has committed itself to them. so, but i think being of, for now it's ridiculous, but much as i've been. and it looks like a bunch of structured speech. so that i can do that patient that differentiates from the, from the energy from the yes, if nothing in c has furnished for the purposes i'm able to meet you and that's it. so just to the position who supported them, try to do the device. and so, so in the to the end, so you have to divide that person over to the. ready we stay through that position since i guess positions. so yeah. so lastly, on the topic of energy independence for africa as

a continent. so despite south africa being the continents largest economy, it to suffers from many rolling blackouts. energy is perhaps the biggest single driver for economies. there are a lot of infrastructure projects being worked out between the african union and china. how do you see those various partnerships, panning out in the years to come in this, in this pan african view of it originally? and so i think like, yeah, so i don't speak english. i wanted to highlight to say the division between china and that's the kind of goose, but i think you get from 2000. but china had been nothing much. and i think one of the indian projects that took him to stick it in some yes. united to submit the transactions on that evidence. well, yeah, the heights. so when you had a budget and so the government consume up, we sat there which is definitive logistical. it's rosie,

but we went through so that's it. got to force you to to, to be today to, to, to see. i'm the only well through from that jack in 2000. yeah. to get pulled up. that's what i understand. yeah. first in that was listed governance and they went to the doctor because these agents and feasible, i need to know what else we need to take that product. because china that this event before it's, i know you can just do it before, just going to because each shots to do this in the rental data into the question, i need to put it back in. so that's under key presses, oil fill out the support of the data because of the situation in southern virginia from china did get in trouble. the 2000 you typed in there, and if you've seen definitely, what do you see is that you do this in the country. it's not going to be now. and then you show it is, but it's just that there's a lot of light to the total sum. yeah. they're taking over the app which is sort of

the, i mean china sticking over the inputs and stuff. just do it by. can you see this most of the i know fortunately, you know like china jin doesn't even be really the media on something like people that much to what i wondered about the consequences inside this plans. so when it comes to this issues, it's china. we have to wait for me and i think that this too and the other thing that to do with time. but i can get to see the can what we've got for the indian. it's an issue, evenings a snake, you know how the whole house to get rid of this next. the find means of getting this nick from the house or i'm intending to have. so like as it goes, trying to do that. this is shina. find these look like this in austin, you're going to do this as you go like what, what happens when punches able to access and then to find those from china to find these project each really use some meetings best instead of getting money, which was the electrical integration of for your them get that money from china to

view the roads for the i definitely do the goods on this to be able to find a special education budget, which is the, the best thing that's the beauty you realize do. do the efforts i'm sending to to messages. so when develop me that just gives the sake of only someone who is not even someone who's dishonest with just you to these 2. this is the person that we needed. i think for the country to be able to leave the most of the people from 4 to, to become between kind of postage 520205558 needs to develop is what is what incentives. so i'm the only way that, like i said, if you do double digit finances, you need to go to the cause and touch money, which was meant for the need to take the big good. yeah. as they say, when the chinese com, you get a road or a bridge. when the americans come,

you get to lecture clinton ins, all a political commentator at african stream. thank you so much for your analysis today. all right, that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep in the foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your house, manila chan. thank you for tuning and we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o. the nuclear love, she was

a little muscles. if you look on the initial do one of course significant dealer per stuff is a little while to deal with. can use the body. what do you do or 2 by the office, the was done, the newest frame on the billing systems to build a new do what i see these the buses, the little cute, little dice says this done both the

the gaza. right? that taking some of the biggest hits to date from the is right, he made a tree to the idea of analysis surrounding garza city in the enclaves as figures. mountains of the conflicts spreading wide up 3 children are among those killed. and the idea of striking stop and 11 on we hear from a mind lost his fist there in the time. i used to deny the news that they had been bombing civilians. but now the incident happened before. my eyes might seek to take advantage of the conflict and gasping to threaten our personnel here or anywhere else. the regions don't do it. so the us secretary of state, right that visiting baghdad as part of the middle east to.
