UN condemns Russia's largest drone assault on Ukraine - War in Ukraine
"The Secretary-General strongly condemns the latest series of large-scale drone and missile attacks by the Russian Federation," Guterres said in a statement referring to the assault Friday and also calling for a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Hours-long Russian bombardments sent Ukrainians scurrying for shelters across the country.
AFP journalists in Kyiv heard drones buzzing over the capital and explosions ringing out throughout the night as Ukrainian air defence systems fended off the attack.
"The Secretary-General is alarmed by this dangerous escalation and the growing number of civilian casualties. Attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure are prohibited under international law and must stop immediately," said the statement issued by UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric.

Putin at BRICS Summit: Time to Bolster Use of National Currencies
Taarek Refaat In a virtual address during the BRICS summit in Brazil, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a powerful political and economic message, urging member states to move beyond the existing global economic model and to strengthen cooperation, particularly through the use of national currencies in international trade, instead of relying on the U.S. dollar. Putin asserted that the liberal globalization model, which dominated the global economic landscape for decades, is no longer aligned with current realities. He argued that this system had served the interests of a 'narrow elite of Western countries' and is now 'outdated.' A Call for National Currencies in Trade In his remarks, Putin emphasized the need for BRICS nations to bolster the use of their respective national currencies in trade and investment. This shift, he explained, would reduce dependence on the dollar and the Western-dominated financial system. 'This is not an attack against any specific entity,' Putin clarified, adding that it reflects 'the right of countries to build a more just and multipolar global financial system.' The move comes as Russia continues to face extensive Western sanctions, including the freezing of its foreign currency reserves and the exclusion of several Russian banks from the SWIFT global payment system, following its invasion of Ukraine. BRICS: A Growing Force in Global Economic Power Putin framed BRICS — now expanded to include countries such as the UAE, Iran, and Egypt — as a powerful force capable of reshaping global economic power dynamics. He called for a "new structure for international economic cooperation," one that would better represent the Global South. 'By strengthening partnerships in energy, technology, trade, and infrastructure, BRICS can become one of the pillars of the new multipolar world order,' Putin remarked. He further noted that the BRICS group represents a third of the world's landmass, nearly half of the global population, and 40% of the world economy, with a combined GDP of \$77 trillion. Although Putin was physically absent from the summit due to an international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), his video address carried significant weight at a time of escalating tensions between the East and West. BRICS countries are intensifying their efforts to counterbalance global institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, which are often seen as dominated by Western powers. Putin's remarks echoed similar calls for reform from other BRICS leaders, including South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Both leaders stressed the importance of reshaping global governance systems and enhancing the influence of the Global South in international decision-making processes. As BRICS expands and gains momentum, the summit serves as a pivotal moment for the bloc's collective efforts to challenge the existing economic order. With Western sanctions continuing to isolate Russia and China's growing assertiveness on the global stage, BRICS countries appear determined to carve out a space where they can pursue shared interests without the constraints imposed by Western-dominated institutions. Looking ahead, the BRICS bloc seems poised to strengthen its efforts in areas such as digital currency development, multilateral trade, and infrastructural cooperation. The ability to diversify away from traditional Western financial systems could become an increasingly important factor in BRICS' evolution into a central player in global economic governance. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Russia Says No Date Set for New Round of Talks with U.S.
Nada Mustafa Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that no date has been set yet for a new round of Russian-American talks. According to Russia Today on Sunday, Zakharova noted that two rounds of consultations have already taken place regarding the causes of tensions in Russian-American relations. A third round had been planned, but "the American side postponed it." "Naturally, not all desired results were achieved, because during the administrations of Biden and Obama, much was destroyed. Therefore, the results so far are preliminary and temporary. Some problems could have been resolved, but much work still remains," she added. Zakharova further stated, "There is currently no specific date for the consultations, but I can say that there is ongoing dialogue between the Russian Embassy in Washington and the U.S. State Department, and communications are also continuing here in Moscow." read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

BRICS summit in Brazil to champion multilateralism amid trade tensions
Leaders of the growing BRICS group of nations are gathering in Brazil for a summit overshadowed by United States President Donald Trump's new tariff policies, with the bloc aiming to present itself as a defender of multilateralism. The leaders, mainly from the developing world, will use the two-day summit beginning in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday to discuss ways to increase cooperation amid what they say are serious concerns over Western dominance. The event will be marked by the high-profile absences of two of the bloc's most influential leaders. For the first time since taking power in 2012, Chinese President Xi Jinping will not be attending in person, instead sending Premier Li Qiang. Russian President Vladimir Putin will also miss the in-person summit. He is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his role in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and Brazil, as a signatory to the Rome Statute that established the court, would be required to enforce the arrest warrant. Hosted by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the talks will be attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese Premier Li Qiang, among others. Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly will attend on behalf of President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi. Now chaired by Brazil, leaders at the summit are expected to criticise the Trump administration's 'indiscriminate' trade tariffs, saying they are illegal and risk hurting the global economy. Global health policies, artificial intelligence and climate change will also be on the agenda. A Counterweight to the West The 17th BRICS Summit comes at a time of growing global volatility. Amid mounting geopolitical tensions and economic fragmentation, the bloc is positioning itself as a source of stability. The group sees itself as a forum for cooperation between countries of the Global South and a counterweight to the Group of Seven (G7), which is comprised of leading Western economic powers. Its creation has been described as a significant challenge to the US-led global political, economic and financial systems that have dominated since the Second World War. In a preview report for the summit, the Brazilian Centre for International Relations (CEBRI) last week labelled BRICS 'the first-ever transregional association of non-Western States'. The bloc's members have advocated for a multipolar world order and a greater voice for fast-developing countries of the Global South in world affairs. The theme of this year's summit is 'Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance'. Expansion and Economic Influence Originally an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India and China, the bloc held its first summit in 2009. South Africa was invited to join a year later, adding the 'S' to BRICS. The group has since undergone significant expansion. It now comprises 10 countries after Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia joined earlier this year. Saudi Arabia was slated to join last year and is listed as a member on the BRICS website, but it has not yet made a final decision. This expansion marks a qualitative leap in its representativeness and influence. The BRICS countries now account for almost half of the world's population, 36 percent of global land area, and more than 50 percent of global economic growth. With the addition of its new members, the bloc represents nearly 30 percent of global GDP. To challenge established financial institutions, BRICS created the New Development Bank (NDB) as an alternative to the World Bank. The NDB has approved over $39 billion for 120 projects, focusing on infrastructure, clean energy and sustainable development. The bloc has also established a mechanism to provide financial support during economic crises, partially rivalling the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). De-dollarisation and its Challenges BRICS nations continue to push for reform of global institutions like the United Nations Security Council, IMF and World Bank. They are also working to diversify from US dollar-denominated trade, a process known as de-dollarisation. Intra-BRICS trade is increasingly conducted in local currencies and through alternative payment systems to the Western-backed Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT). Policymakers have also mooted the possibility of launching their own currency to challenge the US dollar, but progress has been slow. Plans have met resistance from some members, particularly India, over concerns about China's economic dominance. The plans were further stymied when Trump warned BRICS that the bloc would face 100% tariffs on imports to the US if a common currency were announced. Growing Interest in Membership According to the bloc's website, 44 nations have either formally applied for membership or made exploratory moves toward joining. This year, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Uganda and Uzbekistan became partner countries under the moniker BRICS+, seen as a prelude to formal membership. Other nations expressing interest include Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Chad, Colombia, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Laos, Kuwait, Morocco, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Pakistan, the Palestinian territories, Senegal, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Syria, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. However, expansion is not without its own political hurdles. Argentina had applied to join, but its application was withdrawn under President Javier Milei in December 2023, who cited a preference to maintain close ties with the West. Turkey's plan to join was vetoed by India, which cited Ankara's close ties with its foe Pakistan.
