the invitation of china and china really brought south africa in without much of, of any set of rules being, being agreed upon by all the other member states. and even though this was uniform in terms of accepting south africa as a major leading economy on the continent, the believe that going forward, this needs to be strengthened in south africa, has gone on to say from conversations that have had, even yesterday of the record. that they would like to see it happen even if it does not happen this year. but the terms of reference that lead us to a set criteria to who becomes a member of the bricks, should definitely be something that is achievable, at least in the next 2 years. now, south africa will be hosting the briggs heads of state summit later on this year, and much has been in the making as they prepare to welcome the briggs countries as well. but so far, what we have here that we have, the russian delegation at the chinese delegation and the south african delegation also being represented. we understand that brazil will be joining virtually and they will be attending from tomorrow. now is important to remember that even though thi

to looking at this as one of the events that will be taking place, leading up to a south africa hosting the heads of state of the bricks club later this year in august, and this will be happening in johannesburg in august. now what we understand is that we have a situation where, where not only south africa is looking at hosting there, but they're looking at inviting the bigger african countries south africa did the very same when it held the chair ship 5 years ago, we saw a wider african family representation, and that is very much expected to happen again. this year. i stay in africa, su dunn's entered his 10th consecutive day of cautious between the army and paramilitary forces there. now in this footage, you can see a plume of black smoke rising from costume international airport from where multiple european middle eastern asian states on the u. s. are attempting to evacuate diplomatic stuff and civilians are russian. people are also waiting extraction from the russian embassy in cartoon. hundreds of evacuees in 4 plains, london as a military air force in jordans, amman, alarm monday leo. men at the h

once south africa will hose the bricks, heads of state salads in august this year, and among the expected attendees will be one vladimir putin, the president of the russian federation. and the man with an international criminal court arrest warrant on his hate. so if he attending or not running, immune se plans have not changed. i think this matter will be discussed in the nearest future. a meeting of foreign ministers is bland and context on the highest level are taking place. we initially believed that icy c activities destructive and imbued with hypocrisy at some point, withdrew our signatures. of course, every one decides for themselves, but many especially african countries realize that there is a tool of brute pressure and blackmail from the west and the u. s. the u. s. does not recognize dicey, but still drugs every one to the hague. this is completely unacceptable. i think many, our friends and partners in africa understand that they are just over 3 months to go until that fateful summit in august. if a week is a long time in politics than what of 30 months got, i will as i have a

i think many, our friends and partners in africa understand that south africa will host the brakes heads of state senate in august this year. and among the expected attendees will be one vladimir putin, the president of the russian federation. just of the president settled, i'm opposed. i made an announcement that the country will quit. it's international criminal court membership, as well as it's goldman statues, his spokesperson issued a statement reflecting that very same statement, leaving not only the country, but fellow briggs partners in disarray and clarity has since become the order of the day this weekend to we are coming from the national executive committee of the agency. we had the answer to how much is the team for 4 days? and in that meeting, they've taken that decision. so the president has been communicate to the decision of the party. so is not that to the president, is the chatting. anything because it still have to call to government and see to it? what is it that's supposed to happen? remember, it happened. it happened in 2016 and our pipe in 2017. took our resolution and it'

africa. it's not the primary target. primary target is to make the people dependent on the optimal production from united states. climate change is obviously heavily impeding on africa, central and south africa. and obviously, africa is going to say no to the supply. but obviously under certain terms and conditions, we're not going to africa such, we're not going to go into the slavery because of this week. again, this is a very sensitive issue for africa as well. ah, russia claims is conducted a precision attack to take out ukrainian command personnel in the her san region. this is truly by the russian defense ministry shows the missile launch from a warship. the ministry also claims up to 800 ukrainian soldiers have been killed in recent, fighting with a number of artillery units destroyed. meanwhile, authorities in crimea, they are drone attack, cause a massively at an oil depot video, showed the inferno lighting up the night sky, with thick black smoke billowing out of the facility in the city of southern stobel on the black sea says lace has since been extinguished local officials said there were no casualties, with tension rising on the front lines and ukraine, promising an emin

south africa will host the brakes. heads of state salad in august this year and among the expected attendees will be won. vladimir put it, the president of the russian federation, and the man with an international criminal court arrest the warrant on his hate. so if he attending or not running, he may se plans have not changed with i think this matter will be discussed in the nearest future meeting of foreign ministers. his plan and context on the highest level are taken place by so initially believed that icy activities destructive and imbued with hypocrisy at some point, withdrew our signature. that, of course, everyone decides for themselves. but many, especially african countries didn't realize that there was a tulip route pressure in blackmail from the west. and the u. s. u s. does not recognize the licensee, but still drugs everyone to the hang of it is completely unacceptable. i think many our friends are working or should never go under that says that only they are just over 3 months to go until that fateful summit in august. is a week is a long time in politics than what of 30 month
