about a tool dropping price. counting the calls on al jazeera duncan baldwin is an important part of indian culture. it's no surprise and many people want to but can be missing one dancer and one problem. sorry about the family expectations and cultural tradition. i guess the weight now illinois ended up with the reality of working in the giving industry partly with, ah, it's 3 years since the corona virus outbreak was declared a pandemic. we look at how life is changed in war, hon. the virus was 1st detected. ah,

i'm robot this and this is all 0 life and doe hobb also coming up a u. s. bank. that funded tech startups is shut down by regulators raising fears. more financial institutions could be at risk doctors without borders, closes the hospital and hate his capital. his gang violence gets worse and i'm sanctions on russia are creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs to plug gaps in medical supply chains. ah, it's been 3 years since the world health organization declared upon demick following the outbreak of co with 19 for signs of the virus war seen in the chinese city of wu han life. there is returning to normal. but governments and health experts around the world are still divided by the origins of the virus kitchen. you reports from beijing. the city of hon today is bustling,

but the strict group of virus locked out employees 3 years ago is clearly remembered by it's 11000000 residents, including shopping will manager, mark leo. your history and shipping will go off. so there was a lot of information that wasn't clear to us. we were very close to outside. and how have you been coping with algebra interviewed him at the time as he did his best to keep his young son busy. one was the 1st city in the world to be locked down because of the spread of corbett. 19. on march 11th 2020, the world health organization declared the outbreak. append demik and various governments demanded answers regarding its origin. in 2021, china finally allowed a team of w h o experts to visit with han, but the trip was short and tightly controlled measures. beijing said were necessary for preventing the spread of corbet. 19. china was the last country to drop it. strict. corbett 19 rules at the end of last year. and now life in many cities looks

very much like it did before the pandemic. but we're still no closer to knowing the exact source of the grown of ours. and the w h o says a plant 2nd phase of the investigation has been cancelled lighting challenges in conducting the study. politicians in the u. s. have accused paging of a cover up the f b. i says a lab leak was likely the u. s. energy department agrees, though with low confidence, chinese officials have dismissed the findings as political height. some health experts say the hunt for patient 0 is an unhelpful distraction. we have been so distracted by trying to change this down, though we're not taking the actions that we need to stop it from happening again. and so i think our focus should be on, let's think systematically about where we can reduce risks. but mark leo says he's just relieved his work and his family's lives have returned to normal or whether he's home printer, whether it's business or studies. okay,

we're working harder than before and making up for lost time. like many living in the hot, he wants to focus on the future and not the past. katrina, you aren't a 0 bating anymore cuz the senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization. thank doug of he says that competing narratives by china's humbling of the pond, bernard, i think the tensions and the even outright aggression unprovoked attacks by the united states were not helpful in a public health context as they are not helpful in trade or other issues. as well, that being said, i'm not sure that this notion that china has not been transparent or played a constructive role in the global fight against the pandemic is correct. where we are today. again, of course, is the glee western narrative seems to be that,

you know, china's not being transparent. it did not go to do a good job manning managing the 2nd phase, which was much more infectious, but much less deadly. and you know, again, we have to wait and see, i wouldn't completely discount this western white negative narrative. of course, i think there were things that china could have done better. ah, but the view in china, the official view, and i think the view supported by many in china is that a, this was largely well done ah, in containing the of the epidemic in china and china played a very important role global. i think about the p. p e, again, feels like ancient history. but at the beginning of the pandemic countries all around the world, we're scrambling for personal protective equipment. and so many businesses in china almost overnight, pivoted from whatever business they were in to producing. ah, p p equipment that really played a very positive role globally. so i would say,

you know, again, there are competing narratives that work here. china's parliament has sworn and ling chung as the new prime premise premier. a close ally of president she's in pain. chang was parties, secretary for shanghai. bill we saw the cities to my flocked our last year. it replaces leakage, shang, who's retiring after a decade and the roll. the premier is the head of government on the highest position under present chief see hong kong activists who help to organize the annual child genamin square vigils have been jailed for more than 4 months. they're part of a pro democracy alliance convicted under the national security law, or failing to give information in the group. last year was the 1st time hong kong held no public vigil to mark the 1989 gentlemen swear crackdown of demonstrators in beijing national security laws being used to target pro democracy groups. iran and saudi arabia have agreed to re establish diplomatic relations and re open embassies

. it comes after 7 years of hiding tension and confrontation. janet helped broke of the deal. alexandra buyers reports this deal. harold's a new chapter in the middle east, bitter rivals, iran and saudi arabia agreed to restore diplomatic ties all in secret with chinese mediation. he shoes the after her canon her. we have been here in beijing for 6 days. i held talks of my saudi counterpart that led to the agreement to normalize relations. we agreed with saudi arabia to open a new page based on the interests of the 2 countries on and on regional security and to promote stability instead of exacerbating tension. so we hope this will contribute to the establishment of security and development in the region. the historic agreement will see both nations exchanging envoys. 7 years after severing relations. china's role revived a process that brought together officials from both countries in iraq and oman

during 20212022. i did on the agreement basically focus on the respecting the international law. the agreement also talk about the vienna treaty with regard to the diplomat and political and diplomatic facilities. so that is also important. it talks about respect of the sovereignty of the state, which is very important. if we take all of this in account and it says it's a new badge. so basically what we're saying, we're trying to stop all this collision, go to disconnection. now focus on the, on the unilateral relation that bring peace, a security to the agent here. and that means no innovation on the domestics of hers issues from iran, and to so did a via which is very important. while the deal itself could have major implications for regional security, it's also evidence of a wider shift. saudi arabia has long prioritized its alliance with the united states. disagreement highlights beijing's growing influence in the region.

alexandra buyers al jazeera, tell me how she has more from tongue than that beijing, the secretary of iran, supreme national security council. and his counterparts from saudi arabia met over the past few days and they agreed on exchanging ambassadors between to her and real . this is a breakthrough. and this is big news in this region because on one side it's going to help this escalate, deescalate the tension and the other. it's kind of a result of for 2 years of meetings between delegations from iran and so that it, yeah, there was a mediation before and in baghdad that didn't really go a lot forward. and they want to small understandings. we're right now, that is a big agreement. the 2 countries are going back to 2 exchange ambassadors that have

diplomatic size, and also they will put inaction, the 2001 security fact between them. that means no, none of none of them is going to interfere in any other countries interests. and they will try to have good relations, how this is going to be reflected on the region. many say this is going to have yes, the escalate, as we said in the beginning. but the important thing here is the chinese roll this region. i've been known for years to be under the u. s. influence. this is the 1st time that china is playing such at all. and this means that the chinese are having more leverage in the middle east. california financial regulators have shut down silicon valley bank. it's the largest failure of the us banks in 20 a. wait, the firm failed to raise fresh capital after being affected by higher interest rates. it's suspended trading after shares plummeted, not prompted depositors to withdraw their money creating a run on the bank. there are recent developments that concern

a few banks that i'm monitoring very carefully and when banks experience financial losses, it is it should be a matter of concern. cornelius one is a former director of the federal home loan bank of boston. he explains why this collapse won't trigger a repeat of the 28 financial crisis. banks around the world have seen their shares climate in the last 20 for 48 hours. but this, this is really a concentrated issue. i think the take away from this is a really us issue. primarily it demonstrates that the coordination among the bank regulators in our system, which is complicated. we have so many players. we have the federal deposit insurance corporation. we have the federal reserve,

we have state thinking agencies and then lurking in the background, we have an agency that almost nobody has ever heard of which provided massive mounts of liquidity to silicon valley bank. as much as 6 months ago. i'm talking about 1314000000000 dollars that could easily that could easily have been the warning sign with other regulators should have and could have picked up on the flies in the bank where i think to fall number one. it's a highly concentrated business. that strategy theory involving technology, they got caught in the time of rising interest rates and they were dependent tremendously on short term borrowing stanley deposits. and they invested those in long term investments which lost their value with lising rising interest rates. at least 3 people have been killed and 14 have been injured in
