Coming events:  BRICS Summit in India

The BRICS Summit this weekend in India, 12 – 13 September, is receiving a great deal of attention in that country and major media have arranged extensive coverage, including on air panel discussions with expert commentators speaking for the founding BRICS member states.

In this regard, I will be participating in such a panel discussion arranged by News X World this afternoon. The producers are fairly quick in posting such proceedings in podcast format on the internet. Accordingly when I receive the link, I will share it here.

Tomorrow, Saturday and on Sunday I will be participating in the coverage of BRICS by two leading broadcasters, News X World and the Indian CNN channel.  Here, too, as podcasts are posted, I will make the links available. I believe the Community will find special value in the exchange of different perspectives by commentators speaking for the founding member states.

News X World morning news

My appearance in this multi-subject podcast begins on minute 4.18 and continues to minute 24. The subjects were varied but all reasonably important.

Finally, I am unexpectedly and without much enthusiasm asked to comment on the Yemen civil war, which is well outside my area of expertise as I state freely on air. However, I stand by my words that the heating up of the conflict is the work of Saudi Arabia with likely U.S. backing. The US attempts to deter the Houthis from their control the Red Sea ship traffic and most recently their blockade on Saudi ships  have failed militarily and now they turn to an information war to undermine the fighting spirit of the enemy.
