PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that developing countries have gained an increasingly important role in the global economy, while the share of output by Western countries has shrunk. In a speech to the annual St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin accused the West of undermining the global economy and finances with unilateral sanctions.

Educate your inbox Subscribe to Here’s the Deal, our politics newsletter for analysis you won’t find anywhere else. "The sanctions and blocking of Russia's sovereign reserves have irreversibly impacted the standing of international currencies, the dollar and the euro," he said. "Just like Russia, any other country could lose access to their legitimate assets in dollars or euros, as well as Western financial and payment systems." He alleged that high state debt had helped undermine global trust in Western institutions. READ MORE: House passes bill to provide more Ukraine aid and impose new sanctions on Russia "The roots of the current global turbulence lie in the transition from a vertical, hierarchical model, which served the interests of a small number of states, to a more complex, distributed and multipolar one," Putin said. "Russia views global changes not only as a threat but also as immense opportunities. And to capitalize on them, we aim to act swiftly and pragmatically." The Russian leader said the world needed a "modern, flexible and responsible financial architecture — free from risks, bans and barriers." Putin played down Russia's economic slowdown and sought to emphasize its macroeconomic stability. He noted that Russia's state debt is a fraction of that in Western countries and its budget deficit is considerably smaller, compared with the West. The forum comes at a time when Russia's economic outlook has clouded amid the conflict in Ukraine. The government raised taxes and increased domestic borrowing to keep its budget deficit under control. On Thursday, Putin told heads of international media at a question-and-answer session that it was an exaggeration to say Russia's economy was struggling. He noted that his government had taken deliberate steps to cool the economy to keep inflation under control. Putin has used the St. Petersburg forum, likened to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to showcase his country's economic advances and encourage foreign investment.

Ahmed al-Ahmed, 44, is accused of allegedly putting his father in a headlock on 9 March at a house in Bankstown, in the city’s west. He was charged on Wednesday with common assault and “stalk or intimidate”, NSW police confirmed. Sign up for the Breaking News Australia email Shortly after the Bondi attack, footage of Ahmed tackling and disarming Sajid Akram emerged, with the tobacconist hailed as a hero for saving lives. He was shot multiple times during the incident. His efforts garnered worldwide attention, and a fundraiser reaching more than $3m. “My target was just to take the gun from him, and to stop him from killing a human being’s life and not killing innocent people,” Ahmed said in an interview after the attack. “I know I saved lots, but I feel sorry for the lost.” 1:52 Prime minister meets the ‘Australian hero’ Ahmed al-Ahmed in hospital – video Akram was shot dead by police during the attack on a Hanukah event where 15 people were killed. His son, Naveed Akram, was wounded by police, and he was later charged with 59 offences. Ahmed was awarded with Keys to the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, where he lives, and Waverley. Earlier this year, a sold-out SCG crowd roared as he walked onto the pitch just before play began on the final Test of the Ashes series. He was visited in hospital by prime minister Anthony Albanese and NSW premier Chris Minns as he recovered from his injuries. He is due to appear in Bankstown local court on 29 July. - Australian Associated Press contributed to this report Explore more on these topics Bondi beach terror attack news Share Reuse this content

Photograph: Rajesh Jantilal/AFP/Getty Images Mozambique says five citizens killed in ‘xenophobic attacks’ in South Africa South African police confirm two deaths of Mozambicans in Mossel Bay as anti-immigration violence sweeps country Mozambique said five of its nationals were killed in “xenophobic attacks” in South Africa at the weekend and efforts were under way on Tuesday to repatriate hundreds of others. However, the South African police confirmed only that two Mozambicans had died in violence in the southern coastal town of Mossel Bay, the first killings to be officially linked to a wave of anti-migrant protests sweeping the country. A South African teenager was also killed, police said, with reports that dozens of shacks were torched, some while people were inside them. Protests against undocumented foreign nationals have been mounting in South Africa in recent weeks, leading Ghana to evacuate about 300 of its citizens last week, with Nigeria also announcing repatriation plans. The Mozambique government’s media office said in a statement late on Monday that seven Mozambican citizens had died after violence broke out on Friday in Mossel Bay, about 380km (235 miles) east of Cape Town. Five deaths were “a direct consequence of the xenophobic attacks and the other two as a result of a road accident, when they were travelling in a private vehicle on their way back to Mozambique”, it said. But the South African police told AFP that only two Mozambique nationals, aged 27 and 43, were killed in an informal settlement attached to Mossel Bay, both from multiple injuries from assault. In the early hours of Sunday, police in the same area found the body of an 18-year-old South African who had been stabbed to death in unclear circumstances, they said. Mossel Bay’s mayor, Dirk Kotzé, at the weekend voiced “deep concern and dismay at the current xenophobic attacks where people have been murdered, houses burned and families displaced”. As the continent’s most industrialised economy, South Africa has long been a destination for legal and undocumented African workers who are accused by some fringe groups of crime and taking jobs from locals.

The far-right activist Tommy Robinson was among speakers who addressed the crowd outside Southampton central police station at the “Justice for Henry Nowak” protest. People chanted: “Racist police, off our streets” and “Shame on you”.

Photograph: Ollie Thompson/Solent News & Photo Agency/Solent News After Digwa was jailed, Nowak’s father, Mark Nowak, condemned the “inhumane and degrading” treatment of his son by police, but added: “We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We want his story to help make our streets safer for everyone.” Robinson accused Hampshire police of institutional racism, saying: “If Henry wasn’t white, he wouldn’t have been handcuffed. Responding to the resignation of one of the police officers involved in the arrest, he said: “We want him in prison.” Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, said: “I heard someone say this wasn’t about race, this is about race. Even after they found out he [Digwa] had stabbed him five times, they still didn’t handcuff him. A white boy who done nothing was handcuffed, a murderer in possession of a knife who stabbed someone five times isn’t.” He continued: “As white people we are treated like second-rate citizens by our own government.

At present, landlords can only evict a perpetrator from social housing after their victim has moved out. Photograph: Islandstock/Alamy View image in fullscreen At present, landlords can only evict a perpetrator from social housing after their victim has moved out. Photograph: Islandstock/Alamy New bill targets domestic abusers and overhauls right to buy in England Social housing landlords to be able to evict perpetrators, while right-to-buy tenancy requirements to rise Social housing landlords will be able to evict domestic abuse perpetrators under a new bill, which will also increase the tenancy required before residents qualify for the right-to-buy scheme from three to 10 years in England . The government said the bill, which will be debated in the House of Lords on Monday, would fix “the long-term decline in social housing” and offer new protections for social tenants who were subjected to domestic abuse. Its progress in parliament was welcomed by domestic abuse campaigners, such as the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance, who said it represented “an important and long overdue step forward”. The bill is returning to parliament for its second reading, after being announced in King Charles’s speech on 13 May. Last year, about 15,000 families in England were forced to find a new social home because of domestic abuse, according to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The bill is intended to ensure that landlords and courts can evict perpetrators of domestic abuse from social housing without the victim having to leave their home first. At present, social housing landlords can evict a perpetrator only after their victim has moved out, and in joint tenancies, the only option for the victim is to end the tenancy entirely, possibly becoming homeless. If the bill passes its second reading and is given royal assent, social housing landlords will be able to remove abusers from their properties and courts will be able to transfer a joint tenancy to the victim’s sole name or require the landlord to provide suitable alternative accommodation where appropriate. The bill also closes a legal loophole that allows domestic abusers to make their victims homeless, by ending a social housing joint tenancy early during their own eviction proceedings. The right to buy a social home after just three years as a tenant of a public sector landlord, a policy of Margaret Thatcher’s government, is also being overhauled. Under the new rules, social housing tenants will have to wait 10 years, instead of three, before they can buy their home from a council or housing association. Newly built social homes would be protected for 35 years and “hard-to-replace rural homes” would be exempt if the bill passes into legislation, the government said.
