stand them, i said so is it? no, he has no chance, but he does have a chance possibly to play a role in a republican administration. all right, and let's just get say, a particular says aloud over about a year, a way to all the front runners. do thing for both the republicans on the democrats . well, it's definitely donald trump, without a doubt. and, and, and there was, there are 2 poles in new york times. so you, in a college poll and a uh, abc news ball that came out over the weekend. and in the book, 6 wing states that and it's whoever wins the majority of those states would win the presidency. trump beat spying in 5 of them and, and biden beat some in one. now i don't know, 5 is going to be the candidate as a lot of talk about people like govern a new civil california bite and stepping aside. michelle obama. there's all kinds of talk. i find that hard to believe that by and will be the candidate personally. but right now trump looks uh, pretty good against but yeah, so i mean,

an exciting time for this uh, in about a year. so i want to watch, but as always, staples bug toko, surprise us a, thank you so much for joining us today. all right, my pleasure. thank you. my pleasure. well, buzz over this now as oh, it is great to have your company here on our t. i'm right along the to take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shepherd, reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as it shows you, fractured images, presented as fast?

can you see through their illusion going underground? can 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 block to the multiple crews that broke out in former french colonies. we'll take a birds eye view into the de facto 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 prudent, 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 piece plan for moscow and kid. 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 bottom or prudent attend, but put in 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 around the post that is facing an uphill battle to remain in power as he and the amc party began 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, a manual ma crone was handling it, wanting an invite to the summit. now france was not a member state, was this

a deliberate move by my calling to sort of put around 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 hunter accrued a todd and other african states who were former french colonies a yes, i agree. i think definitely it was an attempt to post. i know if i could be seen by a, i mean they, they request that meant like to say, wow, frankly is not a big science. but i think that idea didn't got 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 of the dimensions that they've 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 puts you have to do right to be difficult for us. it's a little res, i'm from has what direction?

yes. but now you got to the front switch, which i hate instead of making 2 months, which is very strange. is like your friend the i know she's have good. you're waiting. that's the reason. i'm sure you answer a guess. it's much easier to, to the guess this, but what are the conditions you that's why don't get cousins weekly. ready and i didn't go to the waiting, shooting those attend. so i sort of as a guest each, you know, she had the right to be there. she did, this doesn't make too much just avoid it was on the other side. so they came out. what did you should get? the description should be more than that one tens. now you see this out of us from the physical. yeah. then you have to teach, put it back instead of just waiting to say gentlemen, you finding acceptable that i do come you didn't know why she'd be joining too much to say i can come to a b, c, d, i think like in the sofa. sure,

that's probably that i didn't want to do that. he just wanted you to find them in sort of undermining this. i need. ready to move onto the survey, i need to just throwing this by the subject. so what to see now that i am getting assigned mutual. this might be changed. it wants to, that'd be looking at the issues that are going to be discuss with you. some of the numbers factors make easy. uh, so the 1st interest into joining briggs items, guys that i wanted to discuss at the summit. but unfortunately, because of this drama, just hold onto the attendance of what i want to attend the attendance of to, to uh with us and ask is going to try at least you have, i think checking the focus away from the financial issues. that's the issue that we have to get signed. so now we have and for to, for the for the i need to be in. so yeah. so do you by doing that? no, no, i mean i definitely just put mine has i'm my let me just so you said

functions and i see. yeah. so my goodness meeting with the much a situation which was already done much, but it seems so far all for yeah, i know it's not just korean, it's present, which is great. what did, what is the gym? clothes of stories when they presented well, have a question you had meant to say without dental me. he attends that also suggestions . that's what we've decided to make to china. so making all these from has taken that we focus on other issues around to say i just, i'm going to see the introduction of the breaks cuttings. i'm going to see more decided to be a watch ship that is going to take. so i can do that, munitions, that, that now interesting into this was an inclusion to the patient. that's probably your watch over for discussion. but i've seen that for the waste from, from the beginning. they don't want to see we succeed cause it's risk that one. so

somebody said that was fine with to so south africa is also a member of 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 the secretary general q a. and baloo, who said they would have waived this warrant in favor of prudence, actually attending the summit. and obviously he 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 s h one, the number 4 of that in the one with strips to see 1400 guess. if you target to so

that's okay. yeah, nice 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 solution kind of way to switching. so, and then the back to the test of like you should see this send to me this comes from was politically, does you forgive you during the winter, which is the north east holiday. nice to see just being seen. and so that's, that's the whole, the court chosen discrete it. and it has done most of these 3 so, so there's no set up which is good to go. i think you said, i think i definitely know there was some fortune to that they've been put in the position, but like i said, the government, which is, well of course the governments did as part of the political but which is the nc and seeking them by the easiest city to general the nc. so let's see if i can sort of the mc most of the,

of the places and submitted this. i've got to cancel this and i see that is the husband 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 you guys in snowing deep. yeah. oh somebody this. how does that seem putting in handcuffs and of course is going to buttress from the eyes to see if i can see what i can do. i mean like what? yeah. like what can they do? so that's what punishment and they went through the process that i figured so it's going to show a little when that biased and if, and i think if they took a version of the sheets of africa is but. busy when i talk to you and it costs quite a few minutes, because a lot of people and it doesn't put in people from the calling for the country to withdrawal form. that's the easiest way to do to just try to use like what's in

practice takes some countries that the c a individual didn't receive up to me. so i see i can see you this background check in this and i think i'm just going to give you the bid us to those codes for the kind of portal data to see what that means the work. and in order for me to see these questions is distributed, each is seem to be, i mean, cancer, the majority of the people who really died by the i c. c. i people. so not because i know to people from rest funding, these gorgeous people can see can see little to be the width have completed. well, i get 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 fit in us. so just to kind of take them so that is that you can shoot, are you seeing the you saw the same locations? let's see. people coming to see,

is there anything that's an expensive they need to know how to do prosecution side becomes very difficult for the st. just want to see guys to see if the airports quote is it just isn't even close in that. so i'm looking for the issue definitely comes very difficult for the quote, informing us that was especially in the global. so we have people that seem to see that it's my so i think before we go into the. ready elements of with a, somebody, it's due to not to do more questions and say, it's kind of funny enough because he does want me to just kind of friends or maybe those eastern you. so 1st of all, that's what beats attach for the quote you said chord the village, because the 1st i didn't so so that's we got 3 and so that's why don't quote you the money that wants to see just sending you sonya for my notes of what all 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 semester to see during the governance for the 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. and usually the majority of yeah, citizens 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 in dollars to type m. o will be right back the the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter is

a conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to make a trust rather than fit the barriers. mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody with theme and the robot must protect this phone. existence was on the oh, i see the do not want to do this is to

the the welcome back to the m o m l a 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 was facing. losing big money in the sofa for clinton ends all that is best with us to discuss it. thank you for sticking around clinton. so let's get into these domestic affairs within south africa,

01. 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 can, so by the name from that to them. so you don't know what is the book is which is not all joint inspection. so that's what i'm trying to do to kind of 2020 by the 20, came to the bucket at the entrance to sort of the story. is that some of those where you can quote we front of the week of the funny story about 500 and i put these 25082000. yes. the love that was the best. so i the phone. so i get to the to, to get into the. ready vision, i'm afraid that we use

a full mouth africans to get intelligence officials exams, and that's what we did. it was done. and they said this might have gotten into a spectrum to something like you said this week. i'm interested in money. i don't know because i discovered that she didn't go to ports to the police, but she instructed when you put it into, he said no security pulls the heights, those uh criminals or those individuals rounded that charts and images some of the money in the web page some money to uh, they also be getting the motor company can so that it can give you the sports on the 6th. so for the drum, of course, the one for the sage, that'd be my name. and then you also, what do you say? he kind of in the private provision, what do you say, why don't you, not each you will see every time we go into details and just somebody, and you go to post secondary, since they don't look to say it money check if informing you of it. i think you

mentioned 550000. you should give you money. you saw jason question to see how to do it, but it was money that just internet. yeah. went to products to find out what people do to seize. i have to pay taxes on the money. i saw the venetians, that's the electron push. i'm a product. so the inquiry that was conducted by the project, always just clear to me. so they said it was not gonna be the same, it i'm a plus, i wouldn't need it to replace it to keep it. we'll send you a few digital security was a police officer. so they say by default of that you blast it a security. and unfortunately, the doctor does not get to the doctor for that. you would just say maybe it's just 2014, which is higher. so, but oh yeah, it does from a positive condition cause trouble. so once, once, when, well set up as a general to mos impeached was impeached on lives, correct activities. so the jim,

when i come to see was when to read the insult type, i just think of, you know, being associated with a bunch of more like almost every, every month that new horizons kind of sort of entered into to. and he kept the head of the n c. i'm the president. it was an implant change from the judge and see the instant i'll be attending the budget on. ready i don't know if this is a fresh but nice to used on the line. just reading the simple vision as he's teaching lessons don't like what else in additions? yeah. mr. roma posts as party the and see still maintains a majority in the 400 seat 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?

yes, so, so, so by team to be, the model is kind of, it's like it's kind of guessing it is going to, the didn't in the, from us all the see. but unfortunately that's actually, that's well, this is for the students so much production that's people i don't know when the us that's kind of like working for the it's kind of a conflict search to see what options very come on web page and then see, i'm just the for the festival, if i could use supplements, has been declining the previous admin fee and everything collections. so for instance, the last election that the incident was going to 19 and if i just put 57 percent of the national for that, was it about 5 to say because i'm pretty 14 that pull down 62 percent. so even though it's part of the top truck from uh,

249 seats in 2014 to 250 seats extension 19. so it shows that they have to redo the losing support. and the people that got been living in the agency understand reason why the moving towards the bottom it so you don't fight as the, as if you see as the well so that the provision of the n c, the university does that and do the victim from the decision was if i happened just to be done, or the nc, and many other people moving to the actual to that the in the house needs to be stressful. position each, each that it fits with what into the center. i fix it ready to face, not just to do the right. so they feel like i said, the provision will be mc you supply which to 6 today, or is the point is decisions at the end of the median. so to do that, but it seems like you the solution which is

a pretty good. yeah. and it comes with black people. uh, uh the, the vintage isn't the possessive interested of the computer. but i didn't want to just throw 10 percent of the lives in the country. so these are the issues with the mc has committed itself to him. so, but after being off for now, it's ridiculous, but much of a pin. and it looks like a bunch of structured speech. so i can go that patient that you might choose from the, from the interview, from the yes, if the n c has furnished for the purposes, i'm able to communicate that to search, to the position who supported them to what to do to the device. and so, so i've got to do that in so you have to do the but that was that person the what to be. ready which they threw that you present on 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? or android, 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 by this you. i think you get from 2000. but china had been not much and i think one of the it is projects that the to control station in some yes. and then to civilities the transactions on that evidence? well, yeah, the heights. so when you have a budget and so the government consume up, we sat there, which is dependent on what you score you need to. it's rosie, but we want to set up. you've got to just of course need to be too late to

tennessee. i'm the only well to from that jack in 2000. yeah. to the put up. that's a lot of fun. yeah. first and that was listed on the oil change done because these agents and feasible, i need to know what else we need for the ticket project. because china, that this event before i know if you can just did before, just go to the color, each jumps to view this in the right from the, into the inside. i need to go to put a pipeline. so that's under warranty that says oil pull out the support of the data, because of the situation in southern virginia from china did get into the 2000 because the net and if you've seen definitely what do you see is that you never took it to this in the country, it's not going to be a no. and then you have all of these, but it's just that there's a lot of life to the total sum. yeah. they're taking over the app which is sort of the, i mean, china sticking. i'm unable to subject to it,

but can you go to brunswick and se this must be an up fortunately, the little like china agenda. so they might be giving you the media on something like people that much. the one that one with about the site is clear when i can see this issues, it's china. we have to wait for me. and i think that this to in the other thing that to do with time. but i think you can see they can. what on the bass for the indian, that'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 continued the house. so like as it goes, trying to do that to government, this is shina, you should find me what fixing them. awesome, interesting to do this is you go to like what, what, what happens when pensions able to access and then to find those on china to find these project each really to give some meetings best instead of kitchen money, which was to be an excellent introduction of for your they'll get that money from china to view the roads for the i definitely do the good on that to be able to find

that you did you just budget wasn't because they do they are. that's actually that's the beauty you know. like to do that, the efforts, i'm sending george messages. so we've developed an interest like now that just gives the sake of only someone who is nice someone who's dishonest with just just that these 2 rules is the present that we need it. i think for the country to be able to leave the most of the people from 4 to become between postage 520205500. 50 it needs to develop is what is the what incentives? so, and the only way that, like i said, if you do the financing, you need to go to the cost of a test plan which was meant for the need to take that. are they going to? yeah, as they say when the chinese com, you get a road or a bridge when the americans come, you go 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. i've noticed operandi the show that digs deep in the foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila chan. thank you for tuning and we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o. the cost of acceptance and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show search like why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do you have the state department c i a weapons, bankers,

multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you think the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the, there's no that up in the, the is really on the golf. so as the all me and now it has the own claiming to have gone to the city is so completely surrounded guy. so he's be coming to get a job that you and as it goes and boys are the 4th is to be b q for everything, for you outside of the general range of the along over to conferences because is taking on future generation. the size of a number of palestinians killed in the past 10000 of the survivors of said let's go
