coming up in the program today. it's been 3 years since the corona virus outbreak was declared a pandemic. we look at how life has changed in warren, where the virus was 1st detected. i'm gabriel's onto a new york, a place that was once the global epa center of the coven pandemic. 3 years on what were the lessons learned? and is this city ready for the next one? a u. s. bank that funded tex toward ups is shut down by regulators raising fears. more financial institutions could be at risk. also ahead how sanctions on russia are creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs. i'm devin ashwin, sports michela. schiffron is on the verge of becoming the most successful ski race of all time. and buffalo are accused of corruption, i think, is of payments for a former referees official. ah,
4:02 pm
ah, so it's been 3 years since the world health organization declared a pandemic following the outbreak of cobit 19, the 1st signs of the virus were seen in the chinese city of juan. while life there is returning to normal now. but governments and health experts around the world still divide it about the origins of the virus. katrina, you reports from beijing. the city of han today is bustling but district grew of iris lockdown employers 3 years ago is clearly remembered by its 11000000 residents, including shopping will manager, mark leo. your shipping will go off. so there was a lot of information that wasn't clear to watch. we were very close to outside. and how have you been coping with algeria interviewed him at the time as he did his best to keep his young son busy? wand was the 1st city in the world to be locked down because of the spread of curve at 19. on march 11, 2020, the world health organization declared the outbreak of pen demik and various
4:03 pm
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. aging said were necessary for preventing the spread of cut. the 19 china was the last country to job 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 citing challenges in conducting the study. politicians in the u. s. had accused aging of a cover up the f b. i says a lab leak was likely the u. s. energy department agrees, though with little 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 the style that we're not faking the actions that we
4:04 pm
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 his hamburger weather is business. we're studies. okay. we're working harder than before. making up for lost time. like many living in the hunt. he wants to focus on the future and not the past. katrina, you out a 0 beating andy mark as a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization thinktank. he says there are competing 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 helpful in trade or other issues as well.
4:05 pm
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 mac is correct. where we are today again, of course, is the western narrative seems to be that your child is 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 the western why negative narrative. of course, i think there were things that china could have done better. but the view in china, the official view, and i think the view supported by many in china, is that this was largely well done in containing the or the epidemic in china and trying to played a very important role global. think about the p p. e. again,
4:06 pm
feel 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 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 as cover 19 spread to the united states in the early 2020 new york city quickly became the epicenter. gabriel elizondo reports on what lessons were learned. 3 years on a state of emergency in new york city, new york had just surpassed 7000 covey cases. the most co says in the state and 35 cove related deaths, this is overwhelming, the cities, hospitals, and 1st responders. the virus was spreading fast. the number of cases doubling in the new york city area over night, fear was setting in the community spread dynamic is unpredictable and worrisome.
4:07 pm
then governor andrew cuomo had seen enough and did the unthinkable and ordered new york to be shut down completely. it was march 20th, 2020. today we're bringing it to 100 percent of the workforce must stay home. and when i talk about the most drastic action we can take, this is the most rest. the action we can take. new york would soon become the global epicenter of the coven outbreak. 3 years on, and 6500000 covey cases, and more than 61000 deaths later, what lessons have been learned, this had done make as a silent pandemic associated with it. and those are the individuals that have guy infective, coven, 19 a suffering from a long holiday. and even those individuals that have recovered from their initial infection and now are at higher risk for cardiovascular and lung damage and liver damage and kidney damage. but she also points to 4 other lessons. first,
4:08 pm
the strain on hospital staff and supplies. second changing people's behavior with social distancing and mask wearing. 3rd, how cove it hit, the economically disadvantaged, harder than others, and forth. how misinformation affected the pandemic response. there are some positive lessons before the pandemic. it was widely believed. it took at least 5 to 10 years to create a new vaccine, and then bring it to market. but with the coven 19 vaccine, it proved, then it can happen in a lot less time. it's kind of incredible to think about just how rapidly we had functional vaccines for the nation and we're then able to contribute to society. new york's current governor kathy hoko, last month ended the mask mandate in hospitals that had been in place for nearly 3 years. but her office still sends out daily cove. it updates on average,
4:09 pm
around 10 people still die every day in the state. that was once the epicenter gabriel's ando, al jazeera new york. throughout the day, we're looking at the global impact of the pandemic. malcolm web is in, can you capital nairobi, and he explains the lasting impact of coven 1900 across african countries. almost half of the deaths recorded were in south africa, which was hit hard as some of the middle income countries like brazil and india, south africa, relatively good public health care system was brought to its knees and the cemetery filled up. some of its neighbors were hit fairly hard as well, but scientists had predicted it would be devastating throughout the rest of the continent because of crowded cities and the lack of public health care. but that didn't happen. testing rates were low, but the recorded fatalities were low and there was no overwhelming evidence of
4:10 pm
a lot of uncounted death. and while vast sums were bent on researching cove, it, most of that money was targeted in rich countries. and the low fatalities in africa still haven't been fully explained, but what was devastating for much of the continent was the impact of international travel restrictions which brought tourism and trade to a standstill made it even harder. people from this confidence to visit europe in america because of those travel restrictions and local law downs and curfews rule. so stifling for trade and for the economies, many of those locked downs were in for brutally why soldiers and police people were killed, including here in kenya. and just as those pressures started to lift the conflict in ukraine, high fuel prices, high grain price is a shortage of fertilizer. the worst drought in decades is affecting east in the horn of africa. just more shocks on the economies into the state. many economies in
4:11 pm
africa, i still haven't recovered lawrence. her dad is an economist and executive director at the global alliance for improved, improve nutrition, and he joins us from brighten. lawrence, you look at this of course, through a very specific lens, and that is food and nutrition. from that perspective, what's the legacy of coven? thank you. well, i mean, 1st of all cove, it's not over, only 50 percent of africa is even vaccinated. but i think the big legacy is really, what are your previous correspondence said the most vulnerable are going to be the ones who suffer the most from the corporate shocks and the most vulnerable from a food and nutrition perspective. are children under the age of 3. they require so many nutrients fitzsimmons and minerals per kilogram of body weight compared to adults. and the consequences of them not getting what they need a so profound their immune system is, is damaged, their central nervous system is damaged. they are really the most vulnerable in
4:12 pm
terms of the numbers, we were very worried that the numbers of malnourished kids are kids that are literally skin and bone. they're much more vulnerable to mortality. we will worry those numbers when we go from 45000000 worldwide to about 55000000. that's an increase of about 10000000 and it took us 15 years to reduce those numbers prior to cove it. so we were worried that in 2 years we were gonna turn the clock back by 15 years. now we don't, we still don't have the numbers for 2021 or 2022. but we think it's not going to be the worst case scenario. thank goodness, and that's because of some of the things that various governments and international agencies have done in the health sector, the food sector and the economy. okay, so that's the, the silver lining of this all listening to you as you say, the worst case scenario did not come to pass. that's at least one good thing explains us just so we understand the mechanism of this how cove it impacts you
4:13 pm
said it impacts the the most vulnerable children on the front line of this. but how sure so it, it affects the kids are very vulnerable. kids in 3 ways. first, economically. if their parents, i lose their job, their parents can't buy clean water, clean, good health care, good food for them. second of all, if the health system gets tied up with feeling with cove, it then routine things like antenatal care for pregnant women on foliage tablets, which are supplements for pregnant women of vaccinations. are the routine vaccinations for kids don't get put in place. and the 3rd route is through the food system. if the food system gets disrupted and disc disconnected, then food can't get from it. phosphor, it can't be grown. and if it can be grown, it can't get to the market. so you have piles of food rotting in one area and markets that can't work in the other area. and if, if parents can't get nutritious food, good health care and good water and health,
4:14 pm
good water and sanitation for their kids, their kids become malnourished. now, i think what's happened in the, in government action and international development action is that there's been a greater focus on prevention and on this focus has to keep you going forward. because as one of your how, what lawrence, how do we do that? because that's the big lesson with the time that we have left in this interview. the big lesson we're trying to, you know, we're trying to learn the lessons today of 3 years of pandemic. so it's 1st of all safety nets. they ramped up during coven. they've come all the way down again. we need to keep them up. so getting, getting cash to the most vulnerable. second thing is we need to diversify the types of food we grow and where we grow it. ukraine has shown us that if we grow only a very small number of foods vulnerable, if we only grow food in certain areas, it's vulnerable. so we have to do that. we have to take care of food system workers,
4:15 pm
their nutrition, and we have to make sure that food markets remain open. so the protocols that were introduced during cold it have to remain in place. lauren's had had that economist and executive director at global alliance for improve nutrition. thank you so much for joining us on the program. and there's plenty more head on this news hour, including looking at how children in syria have been affected psychologically following years of war. and the recent earthquakes and doctors without borders closes the hospital and haiti's capitalist gang violence gets worse and, and sport. a big upset in tennis at indian wells will be telling you all about that . well, more specifically, gemma will be telling you all about that later. so ah,
4:16 pm
california is financial regulators have shut down silicon valley bank. now this is the largest failure of a u. s. bank. since the 2008 financial crisis. the bank took a hit due to higher interest rates and then failed to raise fresh capital. it's shares plunged and trading was suspended that prompted depositors to withdraw their money. creating a run on the bank. silicon valley bank catered primarily to tech startups and venture capital firms. 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. startups, venture capitalists and tech firms made up silicon valley bank clients. and it has a major role in tech startups in particular, in the us. now the bank invest fits deposits in securities, considered safe light bonds. as the u. s. federal reserve increased interest rates,
4:17 pm
the value of those bonds plunged, but the bank couldn't raise money because a slow down in the tech sector hurt deposits. unlike many other banks, silicon valley bank has b, b is concentrated in one sector tech and a slow down in that sector. therefore, exposed to a very high risk, its sudden collapses triggered concerns that other banks could face similar challenges and it led to for the u. s is biggest banks moving around $55000000000.00 of market value in a single day. there are also repercussions outside the us as well for a tech startups that rely on funds from american venture capitalists to use that bank. for instance, indian media reports say the dozens of startups they're in india or tied to as the b. mark us bald is the chief economist at the broker atm investor services international. he's in london, he's with us live mark. you're going to help us just break down the nuts and bolts of this. but before we even get to that,
4:18 pm
how worried should we all be about the risk of spillover and wider financial damage? well, this is actually in to a certain extent, a progressive move that we've started with the terra luna collapse and the f t. x collapse in the crypto universe last year in the tech sector. obviously has been under a lot of pressure, as we know for the contagion, i think will be largely limited to the tech sector to the venture capital sector. what we don't know, and this is always a problem whenever we have a bank collapse or a fund collapse, is how many people will be affected in terms of their funds being locked up because of the collapse. and secondly, your how much more contagion there's going to be as a result, a lot of this is
4:19 pm
a domino effect, as is very, very difficult. and the problem is largely down to the fact that despite all the regulations of post the global financial crisis in the u. s. the basel rules were only applied to the large banks that so banks like at 3 b, which was the 16th biggest bank in the u. s. weren't really on the sort of type regulation that the major money center banks were. ok, you say we don't yet know how many people will be affected. give us the, the worst case scenario. not that i want to fear munger, but obviously we're all, we all have 2008 right in our minds in the financial crisis. give us the worst case scenario and then give us what you think will actually happen. well, i think the worst case scenario because what, what we've got here is effectively imprudent accounting practices. they basically moved a lot of that loss making assets are the ones which they invested in the so called
4:20 pm
site facets of us treasury. u. s. mortgage backed securities and said they were going to be held to maturity, but eventually people. so to say, well, when you, when are you going to actually mark this to market? when they did, they decided that they need to make a right? so she would just didn't go through. the problem is that there are a lot of other people sitting with. ready unrealized losses, and it's not just in the tech sector. so that's where the, the real concerns going to be. i think there's also a lot of concern that the regional us bank for a specifically say that's where the concern is going to be what. what exactly do you mean on realize losses concern? what's the scenario here that we're hoping we'll be avoided? we're hoping that it's basically the people have to start liquidating assets and they've got, for instance, us treasury's which would have
4:21 pm
a negative impact both on the us treasury market but would have above all be of concern to people who the world's debt is nominated in dollars if you start having this sort of a run on, on a bank, it's very specific. i would stress, it's not something which is going to happen to the major money center backs. in fact, they may actually prove to be the beneficiaries of all of this. but that on the other hand, it is a negative in the sense that you get more and more concentration risk. i more and more people just give money. and if we don't fund the tech sector, which is basically the most vibrant k sector in the global economy here, that has very poor implications for the global economic outlook. particularly at the time when we've got so many tensions between the nato countries and russia and china, post 2000 a financial crisis, we're supposed to have all collectively learned. i mean, financial institutions,
4:22 pm
banks, governments learned how to contain financial damage when it occurs. do you think, i mean, this is a stress test. do you think that the u. s. is going to pass this test? well, on the one hand, one can say positively that the s d r c moves very, very quickly. yesterday. when one thinks that the rights issue filed on thursday, and by friday afternoon, the bank was already being closed down. you know, there wasn't any loitering here which is a good thing. you need resolution to happen very, very well as quickly as possible. yeah, there's a lot of accounting to do afterwards. on the other hand, i think it sort of proofs that we haven't actually learned all the lessons. and there are so lot of practice because in practice, what happened to silicon valley bank was a law ability mismatch in terms of the maturity of their assets,
4:23 pm
which is exactly what happened in the global financial crisis. so this is still happening today and in the u. s is absolutely not the only area where this would happen is, is of concern. but basically we still got all the leverage that we have in the global financial system. and all the regulations don't really haven't really serve to curve a lot of that. in fact, probably the central bank policies, all quantitative easing, have only served to exacerbate those by keeping interest rates are typically low for a period of 10 years. and then on the follow, we've had this very, very short increase in interest rates around the globe point. more cost more. thank you so much for joining us. not the easiest story to explain, but you did a great job. thank you so much. my pleasure. the united nations is warning about the psychological impact of february is powerful earthquakes in southern turkey and northern syria. almost 4000000 children live in the affected areas of syria and the
4:24 pm
u. n says that they've lost any sense of safety. after enduring years of war. some of the children in the opposition controlled northwest have been speaking about their experiences as a new order. many of the victims of february is earthquakes at its southern turkey and northern syria were children. those who survived still live the tragedy. bahama the de la as from the syrian village of iron shorter, he lost his parents and other members of his family. he also lost his hand. this young boy's life has turned upside down. and my child, while on the look and see whether my mother, she was a marble. but ma'am, that's the record only for her though. bade also lost his parents. he is now living with his uncle's family, off the bottle,
4:25 pm
saw them wildly. well, i mean, it was gone. well william, the natural disaster has had an emotional toll on children. in the opposition and cliff in northwest syria. some of them have still not healed from living through war. now they say they need to heal from a different kind of experience for had says he can't forget his father's last words . i will have them believe jolla or guys telephone oh meet. nice. you don't get regarding meet gather john away. i'm sure it. oh who it just jo latasha, the mother's muscles were funny. do you like her? her look, look like eyes. little must latter who will be the sir william. the united nation says more than 3700000 children across syria have been affected by the quakes. and it says many will need psychological support. they've lost any sense of safety.
4:26 pm
while many others are displaced yet again. and there are those who find themselves alone. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, one or 2 or hang on to that because mohammed lost many of his friends in the earthquakes. said other l shahita. as soon as his president case, i ed says that he plans to restore diplomatic relations with syria gene as it broke off ties with syria and protest after the civil war began in the assad government crackdown on political opponents, missouri and ambassador to junior year was expelled, in 2012 months, if more suki was president at the time, at least so maybe there is no justification for the non existence of choosing an investor in the syrian, our public or the ambassador of the syrian, our republic here into news. yet,
4:27 pm
the matter of the regime in syria is an issue of concern to the syrians alone. we are dealing with the syrian states and the choices of the syrian capital. we have absolutely nothing to do with their choices. at least 4 people have been killed and 14 injured and a blast enough ghana stands northern bout province. explosion took place at a she cultural center which is supported by iran. many journalists had been gathering there to celebrate national during this stay earlier on thursday. the provincial governor was killed in a suicide attack in his office and it's time for the california and flood whether he has rob, well, it has come to pass. it's rain so much in california with this persistence of cloud that there is now flooding. now put bakersfield and he goes, he's just to ne, a baker's field. the whole of the central valley in california is at risk for this sort of thing of rivers overflowing and threatening any tines. nearby light turnville, which is of course it's got evacuation as a result. this is what is known as the pineapple expresses his persistence of cloud
4:28 pm
and moisture heading from hawaii to the coast of the u. s. and it brings therefore persistent right until the thing moves on. so if that's a saturday, there is snow in the mountains. it's wet snow and is it a higher level than you've had recently, just not the beautiful stuff to look so perry for so deeply now this is prone to causing melting underneath and the rain cause led to that. so all that running down the valley and it's california is the focus during saturday during sunday. i think some of that will move further north, probably towards oregon as well. and you'll notice that there are so shadows over the rockies, but generally speaking, these storms have moved from west to east. they've given blizzards in the plane stage and eventually across the eastern side of the us, the north east, east, and kind of this one will do the same when it gets there. but even on monday, you can developing nor'easter still ahead on al jazeera. and jessica washington is hong kong. when more people are buying the mentos pass as it undergoes rapid
4:29 pm
changes. and find out how rugby is latest, smart, all technology is set to change the sport that's on the way later with jemma. ah, who's breaking down the headlines to exposing the power, attempting to find and reporting? what did you do? what did you investigate? why didn't you off the fact the question? there are many during that head fencer it will have, but you think effect on subsequent story. the listening post doesn't cover the news . it covers the way the news is covered to suppress moderate. and in some cases, amplify the content you see on your timeline. then if he has own and which is either the latest news as it breaks. so trump is still the favorite here among the grassroots, and in many of the polls the be the republican presidential nominee with detailed
4:30 pm
coverage, fire has stronger applied back on the struggles based on daily basis by everyone here from around the world. fire that and go to the 1st to cause of this trade was so hot. it may have cremated the victims exactly where they were killed. lou ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our headlines this hour. it's been 3 years since the world health organization declared the corona virus outbreak. a pandemic . nearly 7000000 people across the globe lost their lives to coven 19 since the 1st case was reported in the chinese city of hot california. financial regulators have
4:31 pm
shut down silicon valley bank. it's the largest failure of the u. s. banks is 2008 . the firm failed to raise fresh capital after being affected by higher interest rates. at least 4 people have been killed and 14 injured in a blast in afghanistan, northern bulk province. the explosion took place at a she cultural center, which is supported by iran. of protesters have gathered in central london and supportive national health service workers and to demand action from the government to fix the crisis at in baba joins us live from london. nadine, that the health of britain's health service is an ongoing issue. what are you seeing today? no, sir, this is a the latest in a series of protests and of course not just protests but associated strikes that started in december in various sectors of the national health service. within ambulance workers go out on strike nurses. these people are from various sectors,
4:32 pm
but on monday you're going to see 3 days of strikes and unprecedentedly lodge action by junior doctor's now called junior. but some of them will be working for years and the make up 40 percent of the medical workforce here in england. that disruption could be very big, not just for routine treatment, but for places like accident and emergency departments. now the government says that it simply can't afford to give in to the pay demands of the various unions involved. some unions have suspended certain industrial action, the junior doctors, very angry. they say that they've lost more than 25 percent of that pay in the last decade or so in real terms. but across the board, people are saying it's not just about wages, it's about what that means for retaining staff, facing their colleagues, leave the profession. they're also worried, or we've heard that in speeches today about the prospect of increasing privatization within the whole system that they know it's worth mentioning and you
4:33 pm
can shed some light on this. the cultural perspective on this that the n h s is a beloved institution in the u. k. oh, totally, some people refer to it as a religion. i mean, since it was set up in the 19 forty's, the idea of service that is free at the point of use has been up held by various governments of, of differing parties. but what you're hearing from an excess workers is that, in their opinion, it's been degraded from a point where 10 years ago, it was rated as the best in the world by continued under funding to the tune of tens of billions of dollars to the point. now where, for example, a recent survey suggested that there are $5000.00 and each were and each has workers across the country who are using food banks. we've heard speeches today, referring to colleagues in the n h s being suicidal. and i've spoken to
4:34 pm
a junior doctor who says every time he turns up at work, he wonders how many people are going to die in the back of an ambulance or in the waiting room because of huge delay, simply not enough resources and an inefficient system. and so really i think the public now being made aware through their local doctors and so on and nurses telling them how under pressure they are apologizing for the poor service semester . i think they really have been pushed to take industrial action where they have done so what's out for that junior, dr. strike, it's still a sector as i was saying that enjoys great public support whether that will leverage them into some kind of advance of their pay demands from the government. they say the government and not seriously talking about pay even though the minister for how the secretary of health rather has said his door is open. whether that will lead to some breakthrough will have to wait and see. and a dba in london. thank you for your reporting. a thousands of dutch farmers have
4:35 pm
gathered in the hague to protest against governments plans to limit nitrogen emissions. they say would lead to the closure of many livestock farms and reduce fertilizer use. earlier, the mayor issued an emergency order, granting police extra powers to ensure safety during the plan. protests the protest come days before dutch voters go to the polls and provincial elections. a doctors without borders has temporarily closed its hospital. in c takes to lay one of the poorest ports of haiti's capital pole, pass. if the ladies sign that gang warfare is getting worse, the united nations human rights commissioner is calling it a living nightmare. john holman, has more amiss in haiti, and already chaotic situation is getting worse. ah, gangs swallowing up yet more territory. there's a non functioning non elect to government loses more control of the capital. the police are powerless under threat themselves. one officer told local journalists,
4:36 pm
yvonne valise that the lady in the government doesn't serve and protect the seat in the police. there's no reason to stay in this country because the hand herself, the gangs who shoot us massacres, assassinate us. and there's nothing that happens to them. his colleague living proof of what happens to some when they tried to fight back. it was one of those. we had been conducting an operation for 3 days to dislodge the king that was causing panic. i received 10 and 14 bullets, 6 in my stomach, 3 in my right leg and to my left leg. they took me to hospital immediately. here, one of the men there off against a soldier from the so called 5 2nd gang, notorious like many of us for its brutality, is against fight for territory from resources. kidnappings become a daily threat. for many haitians rape a reality for women and girls. with the gang soldier blamed the government will lack of it for the violence can, does,
4:37 pm
and does use gaskin were what we will always keep our weapons until there's another government so that the country can function properly so that the authorities to polluting the country then we can decide to return our weapons, so our children have a better life. he was already teetering on the brink of anarchy before the murder of president juvenile moyse, in 2021. after that, it tipped over. there have been efforts to get together and international fools to try and help the police bring order pose show the majority of patients wants it, but no country wants to lead it worried of the past failures. meanwhile, things are getting worse. doctors without borders. an organization used to operating was owns, his just closed it's hospital in city, select this interview was shot just before that. we can for example, talk about the violin confrontations that have been happening a few times since the beginning of the year. few meters in front of our hospital in

statistically in the neighbourhood of julia. and in which our staff had to stay in the sick rekey rooms without being able to treat patients for hours. because of the bullets that were flying over the hospital. many haitians are seeing that their only hope is to flee rickety crafts like this one, leaving the island for those who stay this little sign of a solution. on the near horizon, john home out visitor and tens of thousands of professionals have left russia because of the war and ukraine. well, the medical researchers who have stayed western sanctions have limited their access to technology and forced them to innovate. as a summer binge of 8 reports, basic motor functions are difficult to master but the prosthetic hand. but asana says she's not ready to give up. his already learned to skip using both her arms.
4:39 pm

4:47 pm
yeah, miss hard enough to win one world cup race and in every time that become a ship and winds, or when she crosses the line, she seems surprised, but she's beaten anger. master marx record, and i think the greatest thing about shipping is, yeah, most of our victories have come in solemn and she wrapped up and she's ever taken st. mark's. busy record where the slalom when, but she's one across all disciplines as well. i think she's at 50 solemn when she said 20 john sullen wins. but she's also 3 down her wins. 5 super she wins. and in a she is able to win in all disciplines. and she's quite simply a different league, i think right now sunny this last season. she's back to what she was in 2019. and she had a little bit of a set back in our massive set back for personally in 2020. when her father was tragically killed mid season and it's actually about 3 years, almost 3 years just up to 3 years to the day or
4:48 pm
a fall jeff was killed. and then she didn't have a great olympics last year. didn't win a medal crushed out in the, the races that she was expected to win. but as bows back are incredibly strongly this, this season. and as we said, she has now beaten it statements record. the man himself says he's much better than he was say, how do they compare? i think he's right in stomach was a brilliant technical gear and skied superbly and solomon johnston but never really raced downhill. i mean, he raised a couple of times for combined results. but schiffron has the ability to ski in all of the disciplines, right across the board and be competitive and in and when, and to have been doing it for 10 years as well. and she started when she was 17, as you want to 1st race in order in sweden when she was 71, the world championships that season as well. and how well championship record is
4:49 pm
incredible. the number of 76. busy goals for her when rates are podium, rates and world championships is like over 50 percent. sure. so she basically for the races she started, she tends to pay to place on the podium is just incredible. her record is incredible and the question is how much longer can she go on phone and what, what is the new target that she's going to be able to set? i record certainly as incredible grand has still become easier. do you think you to advancements and equipment so what i'm taking away from her achievements. no, no stealing is getting a harder. this is getting a lot tougher since since then mark was racing in the seventy's and eighty's. now i, i'm old enough to have raced in the same olympics as a stem mark and i've raced in well cups and it,
4:50 pm
when i was when i was racing and there wasn't the same level of competition or is now the, you have to train so much harder you have to work so much harder. it's so much more difficult to get to the top now than it was you know, back in the seventy's and eighty's the just the level. busy of dedication and commitment is so much more now, so i wouldn't say it's any easier. it's definitely i think a lot harder to, to maintain that level. and that level of kind of commitment of focus. i mean, we saw from marcel here. he, you know, he was able to, to dominate on the, on demand side in technical disciplines. but then he just asked and he had enough and, you know, he retired quite early. but in a schiffron, she doesn't seem to be kind of slowing down. she seems to still love the process and love the sport. and i think that's very,
4:51 pm
really important that she keeps that desire and that kind of passion for the sport . and it helps that she's going out with perhaps the best male skier, as well as on the oma kill. they are the kind of power couple. i am sure they ask for each other on well, it be interesting to see what she sees next. i'm sure we are definitely haven't had the lesson to kind of stephanie grande valley already pick scan comments. i said, thank you very much. thank you. britton's highest profile football show. much of the day is in crisis. after the b. b. c took present, gary lenika off there, breaking the broadcast is impartiality rules. if all it is tweet criticizing the u . k government's new asylum policy since the b b. c asked him to step away from this week, show, fellow pundits and commentating team of all refuse to take off as well. then it is a form, a england captain who played football for him. he's presented much of the day for 24 years and is the highest paid stop the b b. because form a club,
