During the conversation with the moderator, SRK not only talked about his stardom but also shared how he dealt with failures. Urging people to introspect rather than dwell on their failures, he said, "When you fail, you should not believe that your product or service or job went wrong. Maybe you just misunderstood the ecosystem you were working in. You have to understand how people are reacting. If I cannot elicit an emotion from the people I cater to, then my product is not going to work how wonderful it may be." When asked if he is critical of his work sometimes, Shah Rukh candidly admitted, "Yes, I am. I hate feeling this way, and I cry a lot in my bathroom. I don't show it to anyone. You must believe that the world is not against you. If your film did go wrong, it's not because of you or some conspiracy. You have to accept that you made it badly, and then you have to move on." He also emphasised how one should be focused on learning how to move on from failures. "There are moments of despair but there are moments which say, 'shut up, get up and get on with it'. You have to do it because the world is not against you. You should not believe that things are going wrong only for you. Life moves on. Life does what it does. You cannot start blaming life for what it does," he added. After taking break from the films for over four years, SRK returned to the silver screen with Siddharth Anand's '<keyword id="19897075" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pathaan" source="keywords">Pathaan</keyword>' in January 2023. In the film, SRK donned an action avatar and left everyone in awe. The film broke several records at the box office and managed to grab a name in the list of one of the highest-grossing films in the Indian film industry. The film marked SRK's first hit after his sabbatical of four years post delivering a series of duds like 'Zero' and 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. After 'Pathaan', King Khan returned to theatres in September with '<keyword id="19897076" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jawan" source="keywords">Jawan</keyword>'. The film once again saw SRK in an action avatar. The film collected over Rs 1000 cr. at the worldwide box office. 'Jawan' redefined box office success, captivating audiences with its gripping storyline and stellar performances, and rewriting record books along the way. Released on September 7, 2023, 'Jawan' marked the first collaboration of SRK with director Atlee.The film also stars Nayanthara, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Ridhi Dogra, Lehar Khan, Girija Oak, and Sanjeeta Bhattacharya.

In his televised opening remarks, the prime minister conveyed to the Russian leader that New Delhi "fully supports" the early return of peace and stability in the region. Modi also said that his second visit to Russia in the last three months reflected "close" coordination and deep trust between the two countries. "We are in constant touch on the issue of ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. As I said earlier, we believe that problems should be resolved in a peaceful manner," the prime minister said. "We fully support the early return of peace and stability. All our efforts give priority to humanity. India is ready to provide all possible cooperation in times to come," he said. "We have the opportunity to discuss all these issues," he added. The prime minister also referred to his summit talks with Putin in Moscow in July. Our annual summit resulted in strengthening cooperation in every field, he said. The prime minister congratulated Putin on Russia's successful presidency of <keyword id="20037428" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BRICS" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="BRICS" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="BRICS">BRICS</keyword> and said many countries want to join the grouping now.

India ready to provide all possible cooperation: PM Modi on ending Ukraine conflict

In a major <keyword id="22639726" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="diplomatic-breakthrough" source="keywords">diplomatic breakthrough</keyword>, India and China have struck an agreement to defuse tensions along the <keyword id="20140251" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Line-of-Actual-Control" source="keywords">Line of Actual Control</keyword> (LAC), which have been ongoing since the deadly clashes in the Galwan Valley in 2020. The deal, announced just days before the <keyword id="21003379" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BRICS-summit" source="keywords">BRICS summit</keyword>, marks the first concrete step towards restoring peace between the two nations since the conflict began.

Indian Foreign Minister <keyword id="20508657" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="S-Jaishankar" source="keywords">S. Jaishankar</keyword> described the agreement as a return to pre-2020 conditions, effectively resetting the status quo along the contested border. Troops from both sides will be pulled back to avoid face-offs, while joint patrols will be carried out according to a mutually agreed schedule. This is a notable shift from the tense, militarised standoff that has gripped the LAC over the past four years, where tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed in extreme high-altitude conditions. A key feature of the agreement is the creation of a regular monitoring system to ensure compliance. Monthly review meetings will be held to track progress, signalling a long-term commitment to peace. This structured approach, involving both military and diplomatic channels, could lay the foundation for more robust confidence-building measures. The pact also carries significant economic implications. While India had increased scrutiny of Chinese investments post-2020, bilateral trade has continued to rise, with Indian imports from China surging 56% in recent years. Experts see this agreement as a crucial step toward normalising broader diplomatic and economic ties, potentially allowing stalled business projects to resume. Despite the optimism, challenges remain. Experts caution that this is just the first step in what will be a long road to lasting peace. As former Indian military commander Deependra Singh Hooda noted, “At least the impasse has been broken,” but further confidence-building measures will be critical. The resolution of this border dispute could pave the way for deeper cooperation between the two nations, especially in a global context where both India and China are key players in shaping regional stability. For now, the world watches to see how this agreement will unfold in the months to come.

<keyword id="21282723" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="satellite-communications" source="keywords">Satellite communications</keyword> is a "magic bullet" to cover dark unconnected areas, <keyword id="22764352" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bharti-Chairman" source="keywords">Bharti Chairman</keyword> <keyword id="20104229" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sunil-Mittal" source="keywords">Sunil Mittal</keyword> said on Monday, adding that players now have a great new opportunity to leverage satellite connectivity to cover <keyword id="20534956" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="remote-areas" source="keywords">remote areas</keyword> that have so far been left out. Speaking at the <keyword id="23624328" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="NDTV-World-Summit" source="keywords">NDTV World Summit</keyword>, Mittal said that nearly two billion people in the world are still not connected to the internet, and in the Indian context too there are areas -- large swathes of desert, forests, coastlines -- where neither mobile networks, not fibre is feasible. "For those areas you need satellite communications, and that, to my mind, offers now a great source of new opportunities for us, mobile operators, or <keyword id="20055601" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="telecom-operators" source="keywords">telecom operators</keyword>, to put that in a mix and start to cover areas which are still left behind," Mittal said. About five per cent of India's population sans <keyword id="19936241" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="internet-connectivity" source="keywords">internet connectivity</keyword> lives in 25 per cent of the area, he said, emphasising that satellite is the only solution for them. "India provides a very high quality signal to 95 per cent of its population, but there are still five per cent of people who do not get internet in the country, and they live in 25 per cent of the area of the country. So it's a very large area with a very small population, the only way to cover that is satellite," Mittal said. Mittal said that two ground stations in Mehsana (Gujarat) and in Pondicherry are in a state of preparedness and ready to start services. "The day government gives us the permission, there will not be a single square inch of this country which will not have a radio coverage. So you just need to raise your hand and be connected," he said. Mittal said he is of the view that satellite is truly a "magic bullet" to cover the dark areas, and noted that about 2 billion people in the world are still not connected to internet, including in advanced countries like the US. The telecom stalwart's comments assume significance as billionaire Elon Musk and Indian tycoons Mukesh Ambani and Mittal are locked in a standoff over satellite spectrum, and nuances of its allocation in India. While Ambani's <keyword id="19896911" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Reliance-Jio" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Reliance Jio" meta.hostid="268" meta.entityid="Reliance Jio">Reliance Jio</keyword> has been vocal about the need to allocate such spectrum through an auction to give a level-playing field to legacy operators who buy airwaves and set up infrastructure like telecom towers, Mittal during India Mobile Congress held last week articulated the need for satellite companies harbouring any urban ambitions to buy spectrum as telecom companies do. Musk-led <keyword id="20034452" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Starlink" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Starlink" meta.hostid="268" meta.entityid="Starlink">Starlink</keyword> is demanding administrative allotment of licences in line with the global trend as it looks to tap into the world's fastest-growing mobile telephony and internet market. This has found some backing in Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who said recently that such airwaves will be given out through administrative allocation at a cost, but not auctioned.

<keyword id="20082498" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Cameron-Diaz" source="keywords">Cameron Diaz</keyword> recently opened up about her nearly decade-long break from acting, revealing that the decision was deeply personal and driven by a need to regain control of her life. Known for her roles in blockbuster films like There’s Something About Mary and The Mask, Diaz surprised many when she stepped back from <keyword id="19900806" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hollywood" source="keywords">Hollywood</keyword> after her performance in the 2014 remake of Annie. During a candid discussion, the actor shared insights into why she felt it was the right time to walk away from the limelight, despite her successful career. “For me, it was something I had to do to take care of myself,” Diaz said as per an ANI report originally attributed to Deadline. She added that her decision was about reclaiming her life and building a future that aligned with her personal values. “I didn’t care about anything else—no one’s opinion, no one’s success, no one’s offer. It was about me wanting to focus on my own life and what I wanted it to be,” she said. The actor was clear that stepping away from her profession allowed her to prioritise what she was most passionate about: <keyword id="19895682" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="family" source="keywords">family</keyword>. In 2015, Diaz married musician <keyword id="23571177" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Benji-Madden" source="keywords">Benji Madden</keyword>, and the couple now has two children. Her desire to build and nurture her family was a significant factor in her decision to take a break from acting. Beyond family life, Diaz also explored other creative avenues during her hiatus, writing several health-related books, including The Body Book and The Longevity Book, focusing on wellness and longevity. Diaz recently spoke at <keyword id="23581899" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Fortunes-Most-Powerful-Women-Summit" source="keywords">Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit</keyword>, where she reflected on the importance of taking time to engage in activities that truly “feed the soul”. She encouraged others to pursue what brings them peace and fulfilment, even if it means stepping away from a successful career. “Whatever it is, if it speaks to your soul, then it’s worth pursuing,” she added. After nearly a decade away, Diaz is returning to acting in the upcoming Netflix action-comedy <keyword id="20441935" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Back-in-Action" source="keywords">Back in Action</keyword>, set to premiere in January 2025.

Earlier this week, former US President Donald Trump revealed that Indian Prime Minister <keyword id="19895781" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="keywords">Narendra Modi</keyword> is scheduled to meet with him next week. This potential gathering, set against the backdrop of Trump’s bid for a return to the White House, highlights how global leaders are positioning themselves in anticipation of possible changes in US leadership. “He happens to be coming to meet me next week, and Modi, he’s fantastic,” Trump said on Tuesday during a town hall event in Flint, Michigan, while discussing free trade and US job protection. He even went on to call India a “very big abuser” in trade, Al Jazeera reported. Most likely, Prime Minister Narendra Modi meeting up with Trump could be an acknowledgment of the latter's potential return to power in the November election, as foreign leaders carefully navigate diplomatic relations with key US political figures. However, neither the Trump campaign nor India’s Ministry of External Affairs have clearly commented on the matter yet, meaning that the Indian leader’s plans of a tête-à-tête with ex US President Trump are foggy at best. During a press conference, foreign secretary <keyword id="20181706" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vikram-misri" source="keywords">Vikram Misri</keyword> said, "there are many meetings with the Prime Minister right now which we are trying to fix. Right now, I will not be able to tell you about any specific meeting, whether the meeting has been fixed or not." "We are looking from all angles as to how much time we have and with whom we can hold meetings. We will keep updating you about the meetings," he added. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113444882" title="Trump says PM Modi will meet him during US visit, calls him &amp;#39;fantastic&amp;#39;" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>What we do know with certainty is that Mr Modi is indeed scheduled to travel to the US over the weekend and his calendar is going to be jam-packed. His visit coincides with his planned participation at the <keyword id="23145156" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Quad-Leaders-Summit" source="keywords">Quad Leaders Summit</keyword> (including representatives from Australia, India, Japan and the US) in Wilmington, Delaware, hosted by President Joe Biden. As per a White House official, the meet-up will feature "ambitious announcements in multiple areas such as maritime security, high-quality infrastructure and critical and emerging technologies to demonstrate the group’s endurance". Prime Minister Modi will have bilateral meetings with President Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Sunday, following the conclusion of the Quad Summit. A special event, the Cancer Moonshot initiative, is also scheduled on the sidelines of the summit. In his meeting with President Biden, India and the US are anticipated to sign several agreements, including those related to the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on drug frameworks. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that Modi and Biden will review the comprehensive global strategic partnership between India and the US, which spans over 50 areas of engagement and bilateral dialogue mechanisms. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113085171" title="India is likely to benefit if Trump wins US elections, per Nomura Global Research" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Both leaders will also assess progress in areas of cooperation, though tensions remain due to the alleged assassination plot involving Khalistani leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The investigation is ongoing, and India has formed a committee to examine the accusations. This visit may serve to ease some of the friction in the relationship. Defence cooperation remains a key area of collaboration between India and the U.S., including agreements on the procurement of 31 MQ-9B Predator drones, joint manufacturing of Stryker Infantry Combat Vehicles, and co-production of GE F414 engines in India. The Ukraine conflict is also expected to be a topic of discussion. Prime Minister Modi is supposed to attend the "Modi &amp; US" community event at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island. The event, already overbooked with more than 24,000 Indian Americans registered for a venue with a capacity of 15,000, has attracted attendees from 42 states, especially the tri-state area. Additionally, PM Modi will allegedly lead a roundtable with CEOs of American companies working in fields like AI, quantum computing, biotechnology, and cutting-edge technology. Lastly, on September 23, Modi will address global leaders at the United Nations' Summit of the Future (SOTF) and is expected to hold bilateral meetings with other heads of state attending the UN General Assembly. Obviously, squeezing in a meeting with Trump and Democrat Candidate Kamala Harris (you know, to balance things out) seems unlikely given Mr Modi’s tight schedule.

Former president Donald Trump has said Prime Minister <keyword id="19895781" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="keywords">Narendra Modi</keyword> will meet him next week during his upcoming three-day visit to the US. While the Republican presidential candidate slammed India as an "abuser" on the issue of import tariffs, he described Modi as a "fantastic man". PM Modi will be visiting the US from September 21 to 23. Speaking on Tuesday at his first public appearance following the recent apparent assassination attempt, Trump said Modi will meet him next week when he is in the US. "So when India, which is a very big abuser. He (Modi) happens to be coming to meet me next week, and Modi, he's fantastic. I mean, fantastic man. A lot of these leaders are fantastic," Trump said, reiterating that India imposes heavy tariffs on imports. The former president revealed the information as he spoke about trade and tariffs while responding to a question at a town hall meeting in Flint, Michigan. He went on to say, "These people are the sharpest people. They're not a little bit backwards...You know the expression, they're at the top of their game, and they use it against us. But India is very tough. Brazil is very tough....China is the toughest of all, but we were taking care of China with the tariffs." "So we're going to do a reciprocal trade. If anybody charges us 10 cents, if they charge us USD 2, if they charge us a hundred per cent, 250, we charge them the same thing. And what's going to happen? Everything's going to disappear, and we're going to end up having free trade again. And if it doesn't disappear, we're going to take in a lot of money," he said. Modi will begin his trip with the <keyword id="23214075" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Quad-Leaders-Summit" source="keywords">Quad Leaders' Summit</keyword> being hosted by President Joe Biden in Wilmington, Delaware. The summit will be attended by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia and Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan. Modi will then travel to New York and address a mega community event in Long Island on September 22. He will address world leaders at the landmark Summit of the Future event at the UN headquarters the next day. Modi's visit comes less than two months before the US heads into presidential elections with Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the top job. The US general elections will take place on November 5.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Russian President Vladimir Putin is hosting the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia.</li><li>Putin is touting trade in local currencies, a move away from the US dollar.</li></ul>Russian President Vladimir Putin is hosting a major summit with over 20 world leaders, whom he's trying to convince to ditch the dollar.De-dollarization is one of Putin's priorities because trading in local currencies means that a heavily sanctioned Russia would not be beholden to the Western US dollar-dominated global financial order.But it's not easy to move away from the greenback. BRICS' summit organizers have advised foreign attendees to bring cash — specifically, US dollars and euros — to the event, in the Russian city of Kazan.Most Russian banks will only take US dollars or euros — which Moscow has deemed "toxic currencies" — to exchange for rubles, according to a guide on the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://brics-russia2024.ru/en/summit/participants/cards/">summit's website.</a>Going cashless isn't an option, since it's not possible to use Mastercard or Visa cards issued outside Russia in the country. The two card issuers <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/visa-mastercard-suspend-operations-in-russia-amid-ukraine-invasion-2022-3">halted local operations</a> days after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.China's Union Pay cards may be used — "but with restrictions," per the guide.Attendees may apply for Russia's Mir payment card — and there's a bank at Kazan's international airport to get a card, exchange currency, and withdraw cash.These issues with payments not only undermine the bluster of the BRICS group's call to de-dollarize, but they also underscore the immense challenge BRICS would have to unseat King Dollar, which is firmly entrenched in the global financial order.The group of emerging nations anchored by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa is not giving up.On Tuesday, Putin again touted the use of local currencies on the sidelines of the summit's first day."The growth of payments in local currencies makes it possible to reduce the debt service fee, increase the financial independence of BRICS member countries, and also to mitigate geopolitical risks to the greatest extent possible and, as much as possible in the current world, separate economic development from politics," Putin said on Tuesday at a meeting with Dilma Rousseff, the president of the BRICS New Development Bank, according to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://tass.com/world/1859601">Russia's TASS state news agency.</a><h2 id="49d28f59-3027-4723-802e-f105b909d1c0">Putin caps a social year with BRICS summit</h2>Putin is also hobnobbing with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, South Africa's president, and the UN Secretary-General at the summit this week. Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva canceled his trip after a fall at home.The BRICS summit is larger this year because the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brics-summit-countries-interested-brazil-russia-india-china-south-africa-2023-8">West-weary</a> group has welcomed the new members of Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates over the past year. Saudi Arabia has been invited but has not formally joined the club.Russia is the BRICS chair this year, so a bigger summit is a feather in the cap for Putin, who has had a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-asia-countries-flaunt-russia-putin-diplomacy-relationship-brics-2024-9">busy social calendar</a> this year, even though Russia and the Russian leader himself have been heavily sanctioned.Before the BRICS summit, Putin was already globetrotting and socializing with top leaders from Asian countries including <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-bromance-xi-jinping-display-china-remains-wary-russia-2024-5">China,</a> <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-india-modi-putin-hug-west-isolation-big-blow-2024-7">India,</a> <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/vietnam-russia-putin-visit-us-wary-manufacturing-supply-chain-diplomacy-2024-6">Vietnam,</a> and <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" class="" href="http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/74678">Indonesia.</a>Despite the BRICS' interest in reshaping the world order, the group is fraught with rivalries and competing interests that it first has to overcome, analysts told <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-hosts-brics-summit-defy-west-us-economy-china-dollar-2024-10">Business Insider.</a>"Behind the rhetoric, there's a huge concern — even within Russia — whether the new members will become their equals," said Evgeny Roshchin, a visiting scholar at Johns Hopkins University's Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs, at a press briefing held by the Center for European Policy Analysis on Monday.

Putin's dollar problem is on clear display at the BRICS summit, starting with the moment guests land at the airport

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Russia is hosting a BRICS summit this week, showing the limits of attempts to isolate it.</li><li>The grouping is buoyant after ballooning from five members to nine.</li></ul>Russia is flexing its muscles at the center of the BRICS economic bloc which seeks to rival the West.The nation is hosting a meeting of the grouping this week, the first since the group almost doubled its membership.The larger grouping gives them more weight — and is a rebuke to Western-led attempts to isolate Russia economically.It also complicates the grouping, introducing new competing interests and rivalries.Geopolitical analysts say it could dilute the group's ability to take action, and reduce it to a talking shop.Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates are the new BRICs entrants, joining earlier members Russia, India, China, Brazil, and South Africa. Saudi Arabia has been invited to join but has not formally done so yet.Russian President Vladimir Putin <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://brics-russia2024.ru/en/">touted</a> the expansion as proof of the group's "growing authority" and role in international affairs.Yet geopolitical tensions and competing interests among the group are dragging down Russia's efforts to use it to chip away at the dominance of the West, particularly the US dollar."BRICS expansion is no easy task," said Abishur Prakash, the founder of The Geopolitical Business, a strategy advisory firm in Toronto."It risks creating rival camps within the group," he told Business Insider.<h2 id="a422f5a1-a2fa-40bb-898f-89b58f30e598">A 'raw' grouping</h2>Since its founding in 2006 — with Brazil, Russia, India, and China as members, before South Africa joined in 2010 — the bloc has tried to challenge Western economic dominance.Over the past two decades, its members experienced significant economic growth. After the recent expansion, its member states represent almost 46% of the world's population and about 25% of global exports.Last year, more than 40 countries <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brics-summit-countries-interested-brazil-russia-india-china-south-africa-2023-8">expressed interest</a> in joining the bloc.But Anton Barbashin, cofounder and editorial director at Riddle Russia, an online journal on Russian affairs, described the group as a "raw collection" of countries.They have "no chance" of political unity due to competing interests and starkly differing attitudes, he said.Members have grappled with <a target="_blank" class="" href=" https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-brics-group-and-why-it-expanding">internal disagreements</a> over relations with the West, territorial claims, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.Others are engaged in internal standoffs. India and China have clashed over disputed territory along their border, though they <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/live/QiqK0eIJn8E">announced a deal</a> on patrolling arrangements this week.Some countries — notably India and South Africa — also have a tricky balancing act to do, engaging with the group without alienating their partners in the West.<h2 id="1875563d-1228-4de5-a7cc-5b63106239c1">Talking shop</h2>Barbashin told BI that the BRICS Summit is important for Russia because it has been cut out from other international platforms.It's a way to communicate and possibly strike "some deals in the future that we don't necessarily foresee," he said.In total, representatives of 32 countries are set to attend the summit this week, according to Moscow.Barbashin said that the group's size masks its relative impotence."It's just a nice facade," he said, "and it falls within the idea that economic growth should translate into a greater political setting."Leaders are expected to discuss how far members are willing to commit to the group.Una Aleksandra Berzina-Cerenkova, director at Riga Stradins University's China Studies Center, told Politico that "China uses BRICS to give it a mandate to push global visions and post-Western vision."During a press briefing held by the Center for European Policy Analysis on Monday, one analyst foresaw major hurdles for the group to move past its status as a "debating club."Evgeny Roshchin, a visiting scholar at Johns Hopkins University's Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs, said the group would need to choose how to distribute power between its members should more join."Behind the rhetoric, there's a huge concern — even within Russia — whether the new members will become their equals," he said, noting that Russia could lose its leverage and decision-making among a large group of notionally equal members.<h2 id="ab0780f6-acfd-427a-bc7c-109fb06111f1">Taking on the dollar</h2>Another challenge BRIC members like Russia and China face is trying to change the fundamentals of global <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-commodities-trading-centers-brics-us-dominated-global-finance-2024-10">financial trading systems</a> that rely overwhelmingly on the US dollar.During a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/75349">BRICS Business Forum</a> in Moscow last week, Putin said group members were working on alternative payment systems, as a rival to SWIFT.The alternative systems would aid cross-border payments between members, according to a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.yakovpartners.com/publications/imfs/">report</a> by Russia's finance ministry, its central bank, and consultancy Yakov &amp; Partners.It envisioned a network of payments using local currencies rather than a default reserve currency like the dollar.Russia already has a model it can look to for transactions among central banks: the mBridge system under the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/cbdcs-crypto-central-banks-bis-digital-currencies-bitcoin-stablecoins-tether-2021-9">Bank for International Settlements</a>.BRICS members are also toying with alternative currencies, spanning Chin'a digital yuan and Moscow's interest in crypto.The greenback, though, will be <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/de-dollarization-dollar-war-currency-usd-dominance-china-yuan-economy-2024-5">hard to dethrone</a> — even without competing priorities and rivalry among BRICS members."Russia wants to create an alternative to Western financial infrastructures," Barbashin said.But "there's no chance of making anything like a union or an alliance," he said.BRICS members are united in that they want to see change, he said "but there's no real strategy within BRICS aside from fancy phrases to make it work."

Putin's expanded BRICS summit proves he has friends — but risks buckling under its own contradictions

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Bryan Johnson brought his "Don't Die" summit to Singapore in mid-September.</li><li>Over the past years, Johnson, 47, has made headlines for his $2 million-a-year quest to reverse aging.</li></ul>"If anyone's wondering how my morning at the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anti-aging-longevity-trends-shock-testosterone-2023-3">longevity</a> summit is going, it's 10 a.m., and I'm raving with a shirtless Bryan Johnson and, I think, his son," I messaged my colleagues.It was the last thing I'd expected to do on a Thursday morning in September, and yet, here I was, awkwardly fist-pumping with the crowd as purple and red lights pulsed overhead.At least a hundred people were shimmying on the makeshift dance floor in an auditorium as tunes such as "Gasolina" and "Taki Taki" blared. Dressed in a blazer and long pants with heels, I felt out of place in a sea of T-shirts, hoodies, and even activewear."Aren't we supposed to learn how to not die?" I tried joking with the woman beside me. She continued bopping along to the music without even casting a glance in my direction.<div type="image" title="A group of &quot;Don't Die&quot; summit goers heading towards the front of the auditorium hall for the morning rave." height="1696" width="2261" msid="113889832" hostid="261" sizebytes="123670"></div>The morning rave was just the warm-up for a daylong longevity conference in a month studded with events in Singapore. Crypto and business conferences harnessed the buzz around that weekend's Formula 1 GP race to lure foreigners and locals alike.This year, Bryan Johnson, the millionaire entrepreneur <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-johnson-before-and-after-anti-aging-longevity-supplements-2023-8">obsessed with reversing his biological age</a>, brought his "Don't Die" summit to Singapore, less than two weeks after a similar event in San Francisco. Others are in the works in cities across the US, including in Miami, New York, and Los Angeles.On social media, the summit was touted as "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_aqbjCycVq/">a gathering for people who want to live healthier (and maybe even forever)</a>." From Silicon Valley to Southeast Asia, interest in longevity is high enough to sell out events like this, for which tickets cost from $179 to $599. The "Don't Die" summit organizers provided Business Insider with access to attend the event.Johnson and his company, Blueprint, featured prominently, and so did his friends — six other men and one woman on the speaker lineup. Coinbase's former chief technology officer Balaji Srinivasan even talked about how he planned to "build an actual 'Don't Die' community" at his three-month crypto-focused "school" for adults in nearby Malaysia. There, students would have <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://balajis.com/p/network-school">Blueprint-inspired workouts and meals</a> led by Johnson.While the summit was billed as possibly "<a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/DontDieSummit/status/1831717503883714756">the most important day of your life</a>," the talks were less in-depth than I had expected.While I'm no longevity expert, the things discussed didn't feel all that new or novel. Most of Johnson's advice is as old-school as it gets — eat, sleep, and exercise well — although the other talks and exhibition booths were focused on practices like blood testing that cost a pretty penny.<h2 id="1f397b7c-2761-46cc-9816-90495a03bf36">The quest for immortality</h2>Immortality has always been the stuff of science fiction, but it seems like mankind might just turn it into a reality with some help from technology and AI — or so Johnson and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-titans-sam-altman-turning-to-anti-aging-drugs-2023-5">tech titans</a> believe.<div type="image" title="A composite image of Bryan Johnson in a black shirt with cropped hair and him in a metallic green shirt with longer hair." height="1500" width="2000" msid="113889831" hostid="261" sizebytes="210982"></div>Over the last few years, Johnson, 47, has made headlines for his <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-johnson-before-and-after-anti-aging-longevity-supplements-2023-8">$2 million-a-year quest to reverse the aging process</a> in a bid to possibly <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/longevity-escape-velocity-what-is-it">live forever</a>.He calls this experiment "Project Blueprint," and it includes unusual practices like consuming over 100 supplement pills every day, blasting his body with red light, and sleeping with a device attached to his penis to monitor his nighttime erections.In a manner fitting his eccentricity, Johnson also briefly <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millionaire-bryan-johnson-swapped-blood-with-teenage-son-young-blood-2023-5">infused himself with the blood of his teenage son</a> last year, although he says he has since <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millionaire-bryan-johnson-stops-blood-infusions-young-people-teen-son-2023-7">stopped the practice after not seeing any benefits</a>.In a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-01-25/anti-aging-techniques-taken-to-extreme-by-bryan-johnson">Bloomberg</a> profile last year, Johnson and his doctors claimed that test results have suggested that he has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old.However, some scientists and medical professionals are unconvinced that<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/scientists-millionaire-5-years-anti-ageing-routine-brian-johnson-2023-2"> parts of Johnson's extensive routine are as effective as he claims</a>.For instance, Dr. Andrea Maier, a professor of medicine at the National University of Singapore, told BI that studies involving health supplements usually test the efficacy of just one supplement — not a mixture."There are no studies showcasing whether a mixture of supplements is beneficial to optimize health or not. And they might even be detrimental because one supplement might do one thing and another might do something else, which might not go well within a cell," she said.She added that while wellness techniques like ice baths and red light therapy are popular, there is insufficient evidence to prove their positive effects on longevity. An ice bath may even be harmful to some since it can lead to cardiac arrest, she said."There is a lot of hype in our field at the moment, so it's better to rely on evidence-based approaches and be a little cautious when it comes to some of these interventions," she said, adding that she did not attend the summit.<h2 id="e5f97554-a960-4f16-a636-2ac989611194">The business of longevity</h2>But that hasn't stopped Johnson from trying to capitalize on the fear of aging.Through his company Blueprint, Johnson peddles wellness products such as a $49 "longevity mix" drink, a $42 protein powder packet, and even "Snake Oil" — <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-johnson-anti-aging-blueprint-olive-oil-longevity-braintree-2023-8">extra virgin olive oil</a> that he sells in bottles of two for $64.A disclaimer at the bottom of the Blueprint webpage notes that statements made on the site <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-millionaire-live-forever-25k-gene-therapy-bryan-johnson-2023-12">have not been evaluated by the FDA</a>."'Don't die' is the most-played game by every human on this planet, every second of every day," Johnson said as part of his opening panel at the summit. "It is the only thing that 8 billion humans can agree upon."He was dressed casually, in a gray T-shirt and white pants. As he invited several audience members onstage for a discussion about his "Don't Die" philosophy, I surveyed the room. In all, there were about 1,000 people in attendance, with a fairly even mix of genders and age groups.Dr. Chrystal Fong, a family physician with local clinic AsiaHealth Partners, told me she decided to attend the summit because she was interested in preventive health and longevity."I want to enhance my existing knowledge by hearing what other people in this space have to say," Dr. Fong said, adding that she hopes to be able to network with other like-minded people.Marion Neubronner, a psychologist in Singapore, has worked on medical education related to longevity. She told me she has always kept up with the latest research in the field and came to the event looking for more local community.<h2 id="c4a32977-fc33-4b5f-9e44-705bc3972018">What's on the menu</h2>Before the rave, "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millionaire-trying-live-forever-shares-recipes-lunch-dessert-bryan-johnson-2023-12">nutty pudding</a>" — one of Blueprint's food products— was served for breakfast. I scooped a spoonful from the large communal bowl and added some grapes and berries to improve the mushy, unsweetened paste.<div type="image" title="A table with serving bowls filled with Blueprint's &quot;nutty pudding.&quot;" height="3024" width="4032" msid="113889830" hostid="261" sizebytes="1131742"></div>Grain, a local company known for healthy meals, catered lunch, which was right after Johnson's introductory panel. The spread included a Blueprint "Super Veggie" recipe of black lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, and mushrooms. Roasted balsamic sweet potatoes and herb-baked chicken were also available.I accompanied my meal with a drink made from Johnson's blood-orange-flavored "longevity mix," which tasted like sugar-free fruit punch.The food served didn't feel all that different from the home-cooked meals I eat on a daily basis (Thanks, Mom!), and I'd much prefer drinking water and tea.<h2 id="d14c4791-747a-42c6-a454-2d8d21869c16">A wander through the vendor booths</h2>In addition to the talks, booths with gadgets of all sizes let attendees try things like red light therapy, an ice bath, or a blood test. Some of these vendors were companies run by the day's speakers.Those who tried out the free ice baths stripped down to their swimsuits and came prepared with an additional set of clothes.Jacky Wang, 33, is an entrepreneur who flew in from Taiwan just for the summit. He told me he was interested in building an ice bath center back home and wanted to learn about how other industry operators run their businesses.He took two dips in the ice bath at the summit."The first time, Bryan Johnson hopped in and joined me for two minutes, and we shared a really cool moment," Wang said.<h2 id="a49992cc-28f5-4554-aa53-bf4de0411d18">Eat, sleep, maybe rave, and repeat</h2>The summit's turnout was unsurprising, considering the mainstream interest in longevity in recent years.According to Dan Buettner, a journalist and researcher, there are "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/worlds-5-blue-zones-people-live-longest-lives-2023-3">Blue Zones</a>" around the world where people tend to live longer and healthier lives. People in these regions share <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/blue-zone-residents-longevity-secrets-traits-2019-12">several features</a>: They tend to eat a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/eat-more-carbs-less-meat-live-longer-blue-zones-diet-2022-12">plant-based diet</a>, do regular, low-intensity physical activity, and have a sense of community and purpose.Buettner has added Singapore to his list of Blue Zones, but unlike the original five, which developed organically, he describes Singapore as a "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/singapore-architecture-shows-why-it-is-blue-zone-dan-buettner-2023-9">manufactured city</a>."The city-state, which is facing a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/singapores-population-ageing-rapidly-184-of-citizens-are-65-years-and-older">rapidly aging population</a>, even opened a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/longevity-clinic-opens-at-alexandra-hospital-to-help-singaporeans-spend-fewer-years-in-ill-health">longevity clinic in a public hospital</a> in 2023.And for all his unusual — and expensive — lifestyle practices, Johnson made healthy living seem achievable for the average person.Prioritize sleep, get regular exercise, and don't eat too late at night, he said. Never mind the fact that he said he wakes up at 5 a.m., eats all his meals by 11 a.m., and goes to bed at 8:30 p.m.But as one audience member pointed out, it's unrealistic for regular folks to replicate his schedule.Johnson said they're wrong — he set his own family on a consistent sleep routine by modeling it himself."Your kids, they'll do anything. When you structure something, and they live in that world, they're going to conform to that world," he added.As for a social life, Johnson confirms that he does, in fact, have one."My friends have been so cool and accommodating. We now do our activities earlier in the evening," he said.
