What is BRICS?

成人快手 correspondent Emir Nader talks to Claire Graham about the growing influence of the BRICS group of economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Its New Development Bank is seen as a rival to the World Bank and IMF. Its political and financial strength looks set to grow, with a soar in applications from other nations to join.

成人快手 correspondent Emir Nader talks to Claire Graham about this growing club of nations and its potential influence around the world.
