Seychellois Jade Micock and Wes Jean-Charles are participating in the International Boxing Association (IBA) Youth World Boxing Championships 2024 in Budva, Montenegro. The two young boxers are competing alongside some of the top young boxers in the world in the competition, which is taking place from October 22 to November 3. The boxers had intense preparation for the tournament and trained twice a day with breaks on Sundays only.   Micock, 17, has not lost in six bouts this season, and speaking to the media recently, he shared his desire to keep that streak going and look for a win in Montenegro.   He shared that in boxing, only winning matters, and that is what he will aim for. Meanwhile, Jean-Charles has fought three times this year and won only one. He shared that this will not be an easy competition, as boxers worldwide will be competing and will use this opportunity to do their very best.   The Seychellois boxers will be accompanied by coach Jerry Legras, who said that he expects them to do well even if it is the first time Seychelles takes such an elite level challenge. The competition is reserved for boxers under the age of 18 and brings together the best boxers from around the globe. In the last edition in 2022, over 600 boxers took their talents to the ring. In that tournament, held in La Nucia, Spain for both male and female boxers,  Uzbekistan dominated, winning five gold medals, three silver, and two bronze. They led the medals table, ahead of India and England. The tournament is one at which many people scout for the next generation of top boxers. When Budva, Montenegro, was announced as the host of the competition, IBA president Umar Kremlev mentioned that the event is crucial for the next generation of elite boxers. «The names we hear at the Budva event will soon become well-known in the world of elite boxing, as we already know some stories of success based on La Nucia 2022 and Kielce 2021 championships. I am extremely looking forward to the highest standard of event in Montenegro,» he added. 

World leaders called for peace in the Middle East and Ukraine at the BRICS summit in Russia on Wednesday, as President Vladimir Putin told them he welcomed offers to mediate in the Ukraine conflict. The Russian leader is casting the gathering as a sign that Western attempts to isolate Moscow have failed, but faced direct calls to end the Ukraine conflict from some of his closest and most important partners. The meeting of around 20 world leaders in the central city of Kazan is the largest diplomatic forum in Russia since Putin ordered troops into Ukraine in 2022. Starting in 2009 with four members -- Brazil, Russia, India and China -- BRICS has since expanded to include other emerging nations such as South Africa, Egypt and Iran. Chinese President Xi Jinping told the summit there must be «no escalation of fighting» in Ukraine. «We must adhere to the three principles of 'no spillover from the battlefield, no escalation of fighting and no adding oil to the fire by relevant parties', so as to ease the situation as soon as possible,» Xi said. Russia and China signed a «no limits» strategic partnership days before Moscow ordered troops into Ukraine and Putin and Xi both hailed close ties in a bilateral meeting on Tuesday. Without referring to any specific conflict, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also issued a call for peace. «We support dialogue and diplomacy, not war,» he said. - Mediation offers - On the Middle East, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian urged BRICS members to «use all their collective and individual capacities to end the war in Gaza and Lebanon». Xi repeated his call for a ceasefire, saying: «We need to... stop the killing and work tirelessly for a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the Palestinian issue.» Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also called for escalation in both the Middle East and Ukraine to be avoided. «As we face two wars that have the potential to become global, it is essential to restore our ability to work together toward common goals,» he said in an address to the summit via video conference. In private talks, Putin welcomed offers by several of the BRICS leaders to mediate in Ukraine, even as he told them his forces were advancing, his spokesman said Wednesday. Many countries «expressed a desire to contribute more actively» to resolving the conflict, state media cited Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as telling reporters. Putin had also used the meetings to tout «the very positive dynamics on the front for the Russian armed forces,» Peskov said. Russia's troops have been slowly advancing in eastern Ukraine for much of 2024, though neither side has been able to make a decisive breakthrough and the conflict appears locked in an attritional phase. «Avoiding escalation and initiating peace negotiations is also crucial in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia,» Brazil's Lula said. - Multipolar order - Xi and Modi have previously touted their own peace initiatives for Ukraine, though there has appeared to be little progress. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, also at the summit, is another casting himself as a possible peacemaker. He will hold direct talks with Putin later on Wednesday. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres was also at the summit, his first visit to Russia for more than two years. He will on Thursday hold talks with Putin over Ukraine. Moscow promotes the BRICS platform as an alternative to Western-led international organisations like the G7. «The process of forming a multipolar world order is underway, a dynamic and irreversible process,» Putin said at the official opening of the summit. He also blasted the West for hitting BRICS members, including Russia, with sanctions, saying they could trigger a global crisis. «Significant crisis potential also remains. And it is not only about the ever-increasing geopolitical tensions, but also ... the practice of unilateral sanctions, protectionism and unfair competition is expanding,» Putin said. Putin also called on the leaders of emerging economies to explore alternative payments and trading platforms to reduce their reliance on Western infrastructure. © Agence France-Presse

A global treaty to curb plastic pollution will be secured at a summit in South Korea next month, the chair of the talks pledged Wednesday, although he cautioned there were still complex disputes and the time frame was a «big challenge». Ecuador's Luis Vayas Valdivieso said the clock was ticking if nations are to seal a potentially groundbreaking agreement at final UN-convened talks in South Korea late November, adding that divergences remain between countries. Vayas Valdivieso said his mandate is «to achieve an effective treaty, an effective legally binding instrument» and «we're going to deliver on that mandate at the end of Busan». However, «I am in the hands of the members,» he told a lecture in Japan. «We do have divergences still in our negotiation, still some complex issues that still need to mature a bit more.» Negotiators have met several times to discuss a deal that could include production caps, rules on recyclability, and bans on certain plastics or chemical components. At previous talks, oil-producing nations such as Saudi Arabia objected to limiting plastic production, wanting to instead focus on recycling. Meanwhile, dozens of countries in a «high-ambition» coalition, including the majority of the European Union, are calling for tougher measures. Vayas Valdivieso said that with only seven days of negotiations in Busan, time will be a «big challenge». But he expressed hope for a deal «with credible rules to end plastic pollution». «We must succeed in Busan for the wellbeing of our planet, for the wellbeing of human health,» he said. Plastic production has doubled in 20 years and at current rates it could triple by 2060, according to the OECD. Yet over 90 percent of plastic is not recycled, with much of it dumped in nature or buried in landfills. In an attempt to whittle down the unwieldy draft document and speed up negotiations in Busan, Vayas Valdivieso has been producing so-called «non-papers» based on talks with countries. The papers have no legal basis as negotiating documents but could serve as a starting point for the last round of talks if the parties agree to accept them. Vayas Valdivieso said on Wednesday he hoped to publish a third non-paper in the coming days with «as much text as possible». But Busan does not mark the end of efforts to tackle plastic pollution, he added, as any treaty should be «a living convention that will get stronger and stronger in the future.» © Agence France-Presse
