Answer
The time difference between Accra (UTC+0) and New York (UTC-5) is 5 hours.
When it is 21:00 in Accra on 9 August 2023, it is:
[21:00 - 5 \text{ hours} = 16:00 \text{ on 9 August 2023 in New York}]
Therefore, the family and friends in New York watched the live broadcast at 16:00 on 9 August 2023.

Answer
The time difference between Malawi (UTC+2) and Ghana (UTC+0) is 2 hours.
Departure time from Lilongwe at 20:00 on 12 August 2023:
[20:00 \text{ (Malawi)} - 2 \text{ hours} = 18:00 \text{ (Accra)}]
Flying time is 12 hours, so:
[18:00 + 12 \text{ hours} = 06:00 \text{ on 13 August 2023}]
Thus, the flight will arrive in Accra at 06:00 on 13 August 2023.
