Lula spoke, Putin spoke, Modi started and .. the live feed left the room.  It is still in a state of ‘vanishment’  This is the same live feed that had Lula and Putin’s statements.  I’ll post them when available.  Briefly from memory, Lula denounced Gaza and the attack on Iran.  Putin spoke mainly about the growth of BRICS and the use of national currencies.
