south africans are realising that if they don't change the way they vote, south africa is going to end up in a very, very dark place. there will be anarchy, there will be - looting, all over this country, because nothing will be - working. if certain things are not resolved, it will become a failed state. the anc, mandela's party has ruled uninterrupted for 29 years. is a day of reckoning coming? welcome to hard talk on the road from south africa. i'm stephen sachar. back in 1994, the one overwhelming emotion in this country was hope. the repressive, racist apartheid regime had been toppled. the new power in the land was the african national congress, promising a better life for all south africans. well, three decades on, it is time to judge how the anc is doing. for too many south africans, this looks and feels like a story of failure. khayelitsha township, cape town. nestled under majestic table mountain. a sprawling reminder of south africa's status as the most unequal society on earth. in africa's most advanced economy, at least half of young people can't find work. life here is ne

any country that invest in south africa is a bilateral issue because between that country and south africa and so has played been going on between south africa in any other country in the world. so what trade we actually have that we have developing should not hear the as far as i'm concerned today is split and it has the reality. we've seen just to change that topic a little bit. here we've seen a number of countries step off to offer at peace resolution initiatives in the last number of months to the ukranian conflict. and now it's quite an exciting type because african nations have come together on our being. so i'd have for can lead at, for their proposal, which will be brought in the next couple of weeks next week. maybe as well. what's your thoughts on not because other piece proposals have either been rejected out of hand by one side or the other. what come so that for kept bringing to this that perhaps others haven't. okay, look for 1st and foremost, let me make you to point to that, to the author, the top piece initiative for the diplomatic resolution of the conflict. it's differe

and you have to be on this last year, germany on south africa, or if you want to, the west and south africa clashed over this issue. because the south africa just refused to condemn hooton's actions in international and unit units in the form of the united nations. general assembly, for example, and as the west was disappointed, so today is an effort to try and get back into conversation, try and understand each other's position besta. and so of course, there are lots of topics on the agenda between the 2 countries. they have these by national commission that's meeting every 2 years and they discuss issues like a quality also the fight against the climate, crisis, energy partnerships, etc. but what dominate to definitely today was to try and find a way of talking about this very touchy issue of how to position yourself when it comes to a pretends war of aggression against ukraine. and really try and keep an open mind about this. so need to all the 2 sides any closer in that position on the wall of the well, these are 2 very strong willed women on the book and has south african counte

the united nations had also accepted and what happened in south africa is racist and unacceptable.1962 , at the general assembly of the united nations, the textbook was also approved , resolution 1671, in may 1671, it was mentioned that racism is one of the examples of violations according to the standards of the united nations. it is human rights, and what is happening in south africa is a threat to the peace and security of the world. last year, most of the member states of the united nations voluntarily put their political relations with south africa aside from the initial sanctions to form a forum against apartheid or racism. three years later, the universities joined the discussion of the boycotters and the performance of the speech was gone. the projects related to the fifa military prevented south african athletes from participating in international competitions . the 1964 olympics were held in many disciplines without the country's sports community. four years later, 1976 olympics the representatives of 50 countries announced that if south africa participates in this period

this would be the for getting some of that south africa or host. and we haven't had a consistent message in terms of terms getting the interest. all the thing was including africa. and i think our technical for the past was 10 years as demonstrate that we have to be consistent. and we have been calling for a quarter to reform because of the global governance architecture. because we have a government talking to that much less than domain to the nicholas formed up to the 2nd world war that is outdated and totally out of sync with the global reality that we haven't seen it for. and the 3 here in the developing world continues to be much alive, and we are not treated as equals and yet the global deal, 4 digit code, you know, making vitamin does change the method over these past 70 plus years since the funding of the us and number of emerging market developing countries, a major economy is today, economies that got bigger than the do 70 economies. but we continue to be outliers even tell the government issue. and i think today is a deep prostration amo

south africa had a gigi to arrest them. and the international criminal court has said a similar thing in the past with regard to the states and immunity. so there should be no immunity, he should be arrested. so this was a question to solve after doing the right thing. and doesn't that mean it wouldn't? doesn't have immunity in this instance. so assuming south africa is not going to do the right thing. what does this mean for the legitimacy of the international criminal court to think of what was facing here? a situation that could damage, but it just must be an international criminal court because the court has already been criticized for being inefficient for taking too long with his cases for only going off to a certain group and issuing arrest warrants that are never executed is not good for the court, and it speaks to the entire system. the international criminal justice system which relies on state cooperation. the i. c. c has no police. the police force of its own . it relies on states to fulfill the arrest warrants

africa, south american lead. as a country, leftist or a centrist. the region is more idealistically pluralistic that has been for some time, right? now, i mean there is no guarantee is that things will stay this way as i is it, is it perhaps just a matter of time before a grouping like the one the, the president luna, the silver falls apart again on ideological grounds. is this the best way to, to achieve the unity among the south american nations that the president, no one of the sofa is looking for as well. um that is the price of uh, not proceeding in the letter in america. i mean, let me make a police. police are competitive and you can have changes in government and not from nation, the power. and it's the people of the south america who, who decided that those changes. and i would say happily to some extent of those other nations happen happen regularly. on the other hand, um i would, i mean the president knew that couldn't have said a better yesterday by um, by giving an example um brazil and argentina for

south africa is addicted to coal.ower consumed in this country comes from burning this stuff — that's compared with less than 2% in somewhere like the uk — which is why this relatively small economy is still one of the world's great c02 emitters. and here's the impact. machine whirrs eight—year—old princess matsebula has grown up in coal country. when she struggles with breathing, it's very hard cos she'll be quiet, she won't eat, she won't talk, she won't do anything. official information about pollution levels here is curiously hard to get but leaked studies suggest this province is among the most polluted places on earth and that the coal industry is killing thousands of people every year. my wish is they have to cancel the coal so that we can breathe clean air. do you think they will? they must. they must cancel the coal because it is killing us. this coal is killing us. these local campaigners say the government is putting jobs before health and ignoring court orders to enforce pollution standards. it's. .. sobs

and so the forget the south african law above. and that's all of the international criminal court as well. so that would be interesting to on the wrong vacations for south africa, and not regard it as it has been a knowns. the minister of foreign affairs doctor, knowledge upon the minister of international relations has already instituted a mccann is a web i. there would be diplomatic immunity for or how to use individuals and organizations that will be attending v blake summit. now again, remember, this is again part of the framework of the i c c itself. so, so the guy's not doing anything, i'm known. so i would of the framework of the icbc and it is that engagement the laptop part that's so that's what got talked about that we really engage with the pod to use and really engage with the process is really upsetting to the processes within the framework of the of the i c c, perhaps related to the, to present sort of around the post said south africa would be quote, at not drawn into a contest between global powers. could you perha

today's, in south korea, this is kim, kill. oops, japanese alter ego tanika, has helped to lighten the mood between these 2 neighbors. doing it with psalms and jokes office by total, the demons that i'm doing for young people like us, we don't think about reasons to be friends. we just become friends. and so what about those reasons? why we don't become friends of someone because they have such and good qualities, but because with the same people, i don't do any settings looking at it the same. his sympathetic portrayal has become an online here. he has a 100000 subscribers on youtube. turning in to watch tanika devour koreans not on saudis is paying to see him live and pass in on stage till i see his die hard funds. see his success has done much to heal the historic rift in recent years. or the airborne will not have enjoyed the japanese cultural since i was young. i hope people on. so when i reminded about japan and hope it can be an opportunity to unite and i couldn't hear about this and as soon as i started talking, so we g

so that would be interesting to on the run vacations for south africa in that regard. it typically typically announce the minister of foreign affairs, the penalty fund. the minister of international relations has already instituted a mckenzie is a web i, there would be diplomatic immunity for all you have to use individuals and organizations that will be attending the big summit. now again, remember, this is again, part of the framework of the i c c itself. so philadelphia is not doing anything unknown or out of the framework of the i c, c. and it is that engagement the laptop pot. so don't think i've talked about that. we really engage with the pod to use and really engage with the process is really upsetting to the processes within the framework of the of the i. c. c. perhaps related to the, to present sort of around the post. it has said south africa would be quote, at not drawn into a contest between global powers. could you perhaps expand on, on which international forces are trying to perhaps pressure your country into, into confrontation? why would that be? look

should you arrive in south africa? so the question whether you actually have an issue or not from where i stand and based on the president from the machine case. because remember, this case went to the supreme court of appeal in south africa, where they ruled that south africa had to gigi to arrest them. and the international criminal court has said a similar thing in the past with regard to the states and immunity. so there should be no immunity, he should be arrested. so this was a question to solve after doing the right thing and doesn't that, and it wouldn't, doesn't have immunity in this instance. so assuming south africa is not going to do the right thing. what does this mean for the legitimacy of the international criminal court? think of what was facing. here's the situation that could damage. but it just means you have international criminal court because the court has already been criticized for being inefficient for taking too long with his cases for only going off to a certain group and issuing arrest warra

east and south of the country is intensifying. the battle in the east and south of the country is intensifying. manchester city win the champions�* league and with it the treble. the premier league and fa cup champions beat inter milan 1—0 in the final and this is the scene at the airport in istanbul as the manchester city team prepare to head back to the uk in the next hour. hello. some breaking news now — and three british tourists are missing following a fire on a boat in the red sea. local authorities say 12 other british tourists have been rescued, following the incident at the egyptian resort of marsa alam. the boat was on a sea cruise, and initial reports suggest the fire resulted from an electric fault. our correspondent sally nabil is in cairo. this newsjust coming in. what more can you tell us, sally? so far the information is sketchy but what we know is that one of the british tourists —— the british to are all in good condition and efforts are under way to search for the three passengers who still missing. there were 15 british passengers on board this boat that caught fire because

experienced in it was the apartheid era of south africa. the members of the boycott israel campaign compare the leaders of this regime with the apartheid government in south africa in 1948. the white racist government put pressure on the african colored community for 46 questions in 1948, the same year that the zionist regime declared its existence the racial discrimination law was passed in south africa, depriving non-whites of citizenship rights, creating separate services, not using public toilets, not having a seat in the government, and not having the right to vote in the colored parliament, isolated africans. the white population of south africa had nearly 90% of the facilities, and 19 million black people with the remaining 10% of living facilities, living in forced labor camps for blacks without a sewage disposal system was one of the sufferings of the people of color, the united nations has also accepted. what happened in south africa is racist and unacceptable . in 1962, at the united nations general assembly, the textbook was als

that brings in japan and south korea together. the most certainly the, but with the rise of china and china becoming more searches and with the rise of will board diplomacy as people are on the single of the past few years. there have been a lot of concerns about china is rising as a certain this in the region and the costs are 3 japan have a lot of common, haven't they have a lot of commonalities when it comes to industries and they're competing against china right now. and of course, because they're starting a lot with the u. s. and there's a lot of sheets, a back and forth between washington and beijing sold in tokyo, especially under the current governments. have all have the impotence they have the need motivation to try to get close together. but whether or not this is going to be a long term sort of factor that will help that will keep relations improving and preparatory . it as a different matter altogether because we got to remember that china has always been there when we talked about 510 or 12 years ago. china, it has b

will it be in south africa? but the question of switching, i do not know how that could have happened. because number one, the pro says for the preparation for the, for the assignment, says only gone in as far as the medium of the meanest as the 5 brakes ministers that took place in cape town last week. now, there would have been no decision that would have been taken because the minis size can only take the commendations to the summit and of cause one would expect that there would be into action even between the summit, between the precedents. but as far as this decision to switch the saw me to a 2nd country, we are not to way off. but also i can also share with you that they have even been the speculations that we picked up, that it might even be switched to another side. the country was i may but but to have the meanest, as i say you, the position still remains as far as the guys concerned, the summit would be held in john has. but that also is, it was talked about that that legislation might be implemented a

you stop at told a relevant to how younger south koreans perceive japan as well. i wouldn't say that as a complete absence. well, younger south koreans might not be as invested in the past events as well. generations might be, but it's always still there. and so whether you're talking about the, the war crimes or, and the occupation of japan conducting career in the 1st half the 20th century, all of that is still part of soft printers to um, history history curriculums. and so that will never totally disappear and might have weeping, but it will not be done monthly thing. we're talking about young people next talk about the leaders of both countries who met frequent during the past few months alone and talked of improving ties. what's behind this a rep for our small as well. let's start with the soft green president of president. jim's on the order is a little different from most of the conventional politicians. whereas most politicians would be very and she was concerned about the approval ratings. presidents i'm young relatively doesn't seem to care all that muc

south africa has had a long friendship with russia. most goes top diplomat sanjay lab prof visited the country in january relations, dates back to when the soviet union helped south africa's freedom fighters invest, struggle against apartheid that history is part of the reason pretoria refuses to condemn moscow for the invasion of ukraine. but it's not just south africa where russia has been cultivating relations. moscow is trying to extend its influence across the african continent. and it isn't just about politics. it's been giving minute 3 support on selling equipment and ons in return for access to energy and natural resources. russian. musson res, including the infamous voc, no group have also been operating in several countries on the continent. they include molly libya, sudan and central african republic. and despite recent events in russia, it doesn't look like countries such as south africa will change their relations with moscow any time soon. a study has found the world for us continue to disappear at and the warming rate, a

she's south africa shadow minister of justice. miss button buck, welcome to the day the south african government has just granted diplomatic immunity to all participants of the brick summit. is this an automatic, don't go to jail card for food and good evening. absolutely not. a, the diplomatic immunity extended to advocates for the big summit is a, is a, a mirror formality. it does not, it does not include in unity for precedence for whom they are, words of arrest issued and they ever made is clear that that does not cover. uh, somebody locked the prism fusion who has an international warranty or he is there is. so if he comes, we will be obliged to erase the advertising, even handyman. do you think that is going to happen though? i hope it doesn't come. uh, the obvious thing for our government to do would be to restore the invitation. uh, but it does cover me in system coming then. now governance must make it clear to me that they will be obliged to meet their international obligations. there'll be a block to give you fix to the

sally, south carolina. it was a very different south carolina.t was a place where a black guy walking down the street would have to get off the sidewalk and let someone walk by who was white. it was such a different and challenging time. my grandfather when my parents divorced we moved into his house when i was seven years old. my grandfather looked at me and said the weight of his words were so heavy because of all he had experienced in his life. he said you can be bitter or you can get better. but you can't be both. when i here people tell me that america is a racist nation, i've got to say not my america. not our america. not the united states of america. and i say that because i have watched the evolution in my own family. i remember the stories my grandfather told me. he believed than with some dealt now in the goodness of this nation. and it's that conviction that led me to understand if you work hard, you have integrity and you have grit, all things are possible in today's america. and the left, we all know this to be true. the left weapon

if you heard the all these questions, the address to the south african liter. um, it's a very interesting point. it's the $11.00 very secure, skilled illustration to the propaganda war that's going on around this visit that as well as around this conflict. because what's the media weren't filled with reports about how the african delegation in q a y map by bomb explosions and the russian aerial attacks. but the here there are denying that anything of the sort happened. then i also want to mention that it's really striking that most of the western media describe this visit as the presence of a my full says, you know, o p r 2 or because supposedly he's in, um, you know, the was bad graces that the, he's afraid of the western reaction to. busy his true position, and therefore he, uh, supposedly does it to demonstrate that is neutral. and i think that on the lines the, i'll self center what the media and what's the policy has become. because as i mentioned, the africans have a key interest in seeing the green zeal, green and fertilizer deal. actually that being rea

in the south, the further south we go, the greater the difference. all of these things were far removed from new england. the results were very different. >> if you are thinking about the timeframe, you know the difference, the geographical difference even from new england the south and in the flow of information, the flow of people, that makes a lot of sense. do you see continuing influences that africans and african-americans had on religion in particular in the south? is this something you dig into in the book? >> i do think that some of the forms of worship and of communication in africa were taken up, particularly if we go to the extreme of all of this, the sea islands of south carolina and georgia where the population was so heavily african, and as such a small minority were european. there, we can see that african cultures were, i think, much stronger stand in cultures, the forms of religious worship became more spontaneous, more oral. the biblical texts became less important. verbal processes became more intense. we can see a big difference t
