doing and make one studio be honest by states on alex's era, we town the untold story. ah, we speak when others stand. ah, we cover all sides. no matter where it takes us. absolutely, a fan of my eyes and power and passion. we tell your stories. we are your voice, your news, your net back out is air. ah, it's 3 years since the corona virus outbreak was declared a pandemic. we're going to look at how life is changed in war. hon for the virus was 1st detected. ah,

i'm robot awesome. this is al jazeera life and doha also coming up a u. s. bank. that funded tex dodge helps as shut down by regulators raising fears . more financial institutions could be at risk doctors without borders close as a hospital and haiti's capital. as gang violence gets worse, plus out of sanctions on russia, creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs to plug gaps and medical supply chains . ah, it's been 3 years since the world health organization declared a pandemic following the outbreak of cold with 9 t 1st signs of the virus was seen in the chinese city of wu, han life. there is returning to normal, but governments and health exports around the world. a still divided about the origins of the virus. katrina, you reports from beijing. the city of hon to day is bustling. but the strict crude

of iris looked out imposed 3 years ago, is clearly remembered by its 11000000 residents, including shopping will manager, mark leo. yes, it should be total. however, there was a lot of information that wasn't clear to him was we were very close to outside world. and how have you been coping out 0 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 covered 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 canceled. 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, systematic me about where we can reduce risks. i mark leo says he's just relieved his work and his family's lives have returned to normal. whether he's hunger,

your weather is business. we're studies. okay. we're working harder than before and i'm making up for lost time. like many living in the hunt. he wants to focus on the future and not the past. katrina, you aren't a 0 beating on the mark as a senior research fellow at the center for china, globalization thing time. he says that computing narratives about china's handling of the pandemic. 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 harmful 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 in china's parliament and sworn lee chung as the new premier, a close ally of president she jin ping chung was party secretary for shanghai. the over sold the cities 2 month locked on last year, a replaces lea coaching, who's retiring after a decade in the vault, the premier as the head of the government and the highest position under president chief. see hong kong activists who helped to organize the annual gentleman square vigils have been jailed for more than 4 months. the part of a pro democracy alliance they were convicted under the national security law for failing to give information about the group. last year was the 1st time at hong kong, held no public vigil to mark the 1989 gentlemen scro crackdown demonstrators in beijing. the national security laws been used to target pro democracy groups to ron and saudi arabia have agreed to re establish diplomatic relations and re open embassies becomes after 7 years of hyphen tension and confrontation. china

helped broke the deal. alexander barsh reports this deal, harold 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 cannon 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 and, 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 for the historic agreement. we'll 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 teacher with regard to the development and political and diplomatic facilities. so that is also important . it talks about respect of the southern to you 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 the escalation, 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 saudi arabia, 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 shelf. kelly hush him has moved into hon. then the bay, ga, 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 had on andrea. this is a breakthrough. and this is big news in this region because on one side it's going to help this escalate the escalade, the tension and the other. it's kind of a result of the 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. what right now there 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 just 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 of shut down silicon valley bank. the largest failure of the us banks and 20 a wait. the firm failed to raise fresh capital up to being affected by higher interest rates. it's suspended, trading offered shares plummeted that prompted depositors to withdraw their money creating a run on the bank. there are recent developments. the concern
