VOICE OF FREE EUROPE: British PM nearly fell on his face ahead of G20 meeting. The grinning Keir Starmer slam dunked tripped as he approached a group of business representatives in Johannesburg, South Africa.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has gotten off to a somewhat inauspicious start at the G20 summit in South Africa. He almost tumbled face first into the floor.

The gathering of leaders representing the world’s largest economies is taking place in Johannesburg on November 22-23.

South Africa assumed the rotating presidency of the group in December 2024. It became the first African nation to lead the forum.

Starmer had barely set foot on South African soil when he nearly face-planted into the ground. He was walking toward a group of business leaders ahead of the main gathering.

Footage of the meeting shows the prime minister apparently stumbling over his own feet. He reaches out for a handshake with no obstacle in sight.

After throwing out his hands to save himself, he only just regained his balance at the last moment.

Starmer encountered a similar awkward moment earlier this month. This happened after he arrived in Brazil for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 30).

The UK prime minister disembarked from his aircraft. He stumbled on the metal staircase. He almost tumbled down onto the tarmac. However, Starmer managed to regain his balance that time as well.
