and they will, she be beaten, arrested and shocked, as protested. they are beat it, and self proclaimed. watch a protective women of standing rock on out his era. it's been 20 years since the united states led invasion of iraq, which overthrew president saddam hussein a widely controversial military operation that killed hundreds of thousands of iraqis and displaced 1000000 small a conflict is consequences are still being held today. the rock 20 is on, on al jazeera. ah, it's 3 years since the corona virus outbreak was declared a pandemic. we look at how life has changed into hot where the virus was 1st detected. ah,

m 0 that needs good daddy with us. this is al 0 alive from doha. also coming up to day u. s. bank, that funded tex, startups is shut down by regulators raising fears. more financial institutions could be at risk. we hear from children in syria who've been affected psychologically following years of war and the recent earthquakes also and jessica washington in hong kong, when more people are buying the mentors of its path as it undergoes rapid changes. ah, so it's now been 3 years since the world health organization declared a pandemic following the outbreak of coven 19. the 1st signs of the virus were seen in the chinese city of wu, han life. there is returning to normal now, but governments and health experts around the world still divided about the origins of the virus. katrina, you reports from beijing. the city of hon today is bustling,

but the strict grew at a virus lockdown. employee as 3 years ago is clearly remembered by it's 11000000 residents, including shopping will manager, mark leo. your shipping will go up. so there was a lot of information that wasn't clear to me once 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. wand was the 1st city in the world to be locked down because of the spread of corbett 19. on march 11, 2020. the world health organization declared the outbreak of pen demik and various governments demanded answers regarding its origin. in 2021, trying to finally allowed a team to w hydro experts to visit with hahn. 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 drop its 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, rona virus and the w. h o. a plan. second phase of the investigation has been canceled. lighting challenges in conducting study. politicians in the u. s. have accused aging 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 hype. some health experts say the hunt for patient 0 isn't on the helpful distraction. we have been so distracted by trying to chase this down. the we're not faking 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. mark leo says he's just relieved his work and his family's lives have returned to normal on his own

contract. whether it's business with studies working harder than before, making up for lost time. like many living in hon. he wants to focus on the future and not the past. katrina, you are the 0 aging and mark as a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization thinktank. he said there are competing narratives about trying his 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. 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 panoramic is correct where we are today. again, of course, is the western narrative seems to be that you to train is not being transparent. it

did not go to do a good job nanning 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 play a very important role global. 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 p p equipment that really played a very positive role globally. so i would say, you know, again, there are,

there are competing narratives that work your and cove in 1900 spread to the united states in early 2020 new york city quickly became the epicenter. gabriel elizondo reports on what lessons were learned. 3 years on the state of emergency in new york city, new york had just surpassed 7000 covey cases. the most cases in the state and 35 corporate related deaths. this is overwhelming. the cities, hospitals, and 1st responders, the virus spreading fast. the number of cases doubling in the new york city area overnight fear was setting in the community spread dynamic is unpredictable and worrisome. 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 drastic 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 pandemic, as a silent pandemic associated with it. and those are the individuals that have gotten infected with cobra. 1900 are suffering from a long covey. 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, the strain on hospital staff and supplies, 2nd, changing people's behavior with social distancing and mask wearing. 3rd, how covert hit the economically disadvantaged, harder than others, and forth. how misinformation affected the pandemic response. there are some

positive lessons before the pan make. 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 a covert 19 vaccine, it proved that 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 network 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, around 10 people still die every day in the state. that was once the epicenter gabriel's ando al jazeera new york. and malcolm web is in kenya's capital ne, robi, he explains the lasting impact of this pandemic 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 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 the 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 africa, i still haven't recovered in california. financial regulators have shut down silicon valley bank. this is the largest failure of the us bank since the financial crisis of 2008. the bank took a hit you to higher interest rates and then it failed to raise fresh capital. it shares plunged in trading was suspended. that prompted deposit is to withdraw their money. creating a run on the bank. silicon valley bank as v p. 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 as the bees clients and as a major role in tech startup in the us, the bank invest deposits in security is considered safe like bonds. as the u. s. federal reserve increased interest rates, the value of those bonds plunged. the bank couldn't raise money because they slowed down in the tech sector, hurt deposits at the same time. unlike many other banks, silicon valley bank is concentrated in one sector tech and a slow down. they're exposed to higher risk and sudden collapses triggered concerns that other banks could face similar challenges, and it led to for the u. s. is biggest banks losing around $55000000000.00 of

market value in a single day. also, they were repercussions outside the us. for a tech startups that rely on funds from american venture capitalists, indian media report, se dozens of startups there are tied to s b b, or cornelius hurley as a former director of the federal home loan bank of boston. and he explains why this collapse will not, in his you cause a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis banks around the world have seen their shares planet in the last 24 or 48 hours. but this is really a concentrated issue. i think the take away from this is a, is really a 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 a massive, massive 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 flaws in the bank where i think to fall number one. it's a highly concentrated business strategy 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 lifelink pricing interest rates.

ah, in the united nations is wanting about the psychological impact of february's powerful earthquakes in southern turkey and northern syria. almost 4000000 children live in the effected area of the syria and the u. n. says that they've lost any sense of safety. after enduring years of war, some of the children in this opposition controlled northwest have been speaking about their experiences. thousands years. dana harder. many of the victims of february's earthquake sat hid southern turkey and northern syria were children. those who survived still live the tragedy. mohammed abdulla, as from the syrian village of in shadow, 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 farm field while on the look and see whether my mother she was a marble,

the eyes of the little flat duck who will be sir william k, 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. while many others are displaced yet again. and there are those who find themselves alone. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, one or 2, or hang on to that because mohammed last many of his friends and the earthquakes than other elsewhere, theater can is just president case. i ed says that he plans to restore diplomatic relations with syria and is your broke off times with syria and protest after the civil war began and the assad government crackdown on political opponents,
