welcome to the usa. it's been 3 years since the world health organization declared the coven 19 outbreak, a global pandemic. since a 2020, the virus has exposed the vulnerabilities of health systems around the world. and experts warn the crisis. its cause is far from over. the total global death toll from the virus is nearing $7000000.00 people. 61 percent of the global population is fully vaccinated, but it's still killing between $900.00 and a 1000 people every day. the international monetary fund projects at the pandemic will cost the global economy $12.00 trillion dollars. the 1st signs of the virus were seen in the chinese city of wu han, and 3 years on global health. experts remain divided about the origins of the virus . katrina, you begins our coverage from beijing. the city of hon to day is bustling, but the strict grown of iris locked out, imposed 3 years ago,
6:03 pm
is clearly remembered by its 11000000 residents, including shopping will manager, mark leo. you're here since you people go off. there was a lot of information that was unclear to watch. we were very close to also. 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 corbett. 19. on march 11th, 2020. the world health organization declared the outbreak pandemic, 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 carbon. 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
6:04 pm
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 lot of 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, though we're not taking the actions that we need to stop it from happening again. i'm and so i think our focus should be on, let's think systematically about where we can reduce risks. but oh, mark leo says he's just relieved his work and his family's lives have returned to normal. for his hamburger, your weather is business. we're studies or we're working harder before making up for lost time. like many living in hon. he wants to focus on the future and not the
6:05 pm
past. katrina, you out a 0 paging sunday will because the senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization thing time. he says there are competing narrative about china's handling of the pandemic. i think the tensions and the even outright aggression unprovoked to tax by the united states were not hopeful 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 your child is not being transparent. it did not go to do a good job manning managing the 2nd phase,
6:06 pm
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, 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 here. was kevin 900 spread to the united
6:07 pm
states in early 2020 new york quickly became north american epicenter. gabriel is under report. and what lessons were led by 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 virus was 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
6:08 pm
epicenter of the coven outbreak. 3 years on and 6500000 covered 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. second, 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 pandemic. it was widely believed. it took at least 5 to
6:09 pm
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 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, around 10 people still die every day in the state. that was once the epicenter gabriel's ando al jazeera new york both ways in kenya's capital. i robi, and he explains the last the impact of the pandemic across african countries. almost half of the deaths recorded were in south africa, which was hit hard as some other middle income countries like brazil and india.
6:10 pm
south africa is relatively good. public healthcare system was brought to its knees and the cemetery filled up. some of its neighbors were hit fairly hard as well that scientists had predicted. it would be devastating throughout the rest of the continent because of crowded city and the lack of public health care for 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 deaths. and while vos sums were bent on researching cove, it, most of that money was targeted in rich country than 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 group 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 kathy's rule
6:11 pm
so stifling for trade and for the economies, many of those locked downs were in for brutally by soldiers and police people were killed including here in kenya. and just as those precious started to lift the conflict in ukraine, both high fuel prices, high grain prices, a shortage of fertilizer. the worst drought in decades is affecting east in the horn of africa, just more shocks on the economy than to the state. many economies in africa, i still haven't recovered it out as an economist and executive director of global lines for improve nutrition. he says children are still suffering from caving 19, particularly those who malnourished cove. it's not over only 50 percent of africa is even vaccinated. but i think the big legacy is really the most vulnerable are going to be the ones who suffer the most from the cove at shocks and the most vulnerable from a food and nutrition perspective. our children under the age of 3,
6:12 pm
they require so many a nutrients, vitamins and minerals, her 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 terms of the numbers, we were very worried that the numbers of malnourished kids are kids. that are literally skin and bone. they are much more vulnerable to mortality. we were why those numbers when ago are from 45000000 worldwide to about 50000000. that's an increase of about 10000000 and it took us 15 years to reduced those numbers prior to covert. so we will worry that in 2 years, we're 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 are various governments and international
6:13 pm
agencies have done in the health sector, the food sector and the economy. the latin america has reported about 15 percent of cases and 25 percent of deaths from code 19 worldwide. in many countries, a virus and the vaccine roll out strength already struggling health care systems for illness that sir joined man will repel our correspondent in mexico city a my well, i mean, early in the pandemic, i mean the was concerned that latin america was not prepared for what was coming and countries like brazil proved that to me, brazil became the abbey center for the virus, at least for latin america. how was it coped since that's right. so hail, early on in the pandemic health experts from around the world were very clear about their warnings for latin america, the combination of widespread poverty and equality and a lack of a regional sort of strategy of containment and,
6:14 pm
and prevention of the virus. all of these things played a key role in the ultimate impact that covered 19 would have in the region. and nowhere was this more evident than in brazil. president j doubled, so nato will of i think, history role. remember him for not only downplaying the severity of the virus, but also for being a sort of key player in his country in the region for spreading this information about the severity of the disease of, of coven, 19, of, and about the advocacy of the, of the vaccine and for not implementing a strict policy for cove id nationwide for brazil, brazil obviously was not the only country to be affected in latin america. latin america, which accounts for more or less 8 percent of the world's population. at one point was accounting for one 3rd of all coven debts globally. and here in latin america, a lack of testing will probably for ever leave us unsure of the true extent of the level of can't of contagion here in mexico, for example,
6:15 pm
at the end of 2021. when the cobit army kron variant was spreading across europe, the government here in mexico was touting a low infection rate just ahead of the of the holiday season, where contagion sword, once again in mexico. and we know now 2 years later that that has more to do with the fact that mexico had one of the lowest testing rates in the world. so again, low testing rates in latin america, which we know now was disproportionately affected compared to many other parts of the world. it will always leave us unsure of the true extent of the tragedy. indeed, i mean, does another side of the story on the continent why you are not sold sort of about vaccination rates. i mean, the region clearly benefited from sort of the unprecedented rush to develop vaccines. what lessons do you think have been learned in terms of? well, for the future, well, looking back in retrospect it's, it's, it can be more clear,
6:16 pm
right. but we can look back in a time where for latin america, the only people that were being vaccinated were the ones that could afford to travel to europe or to travel to the united states to be vaccinated. their fast forward to today were 70 percent of the region has it is fully vaccinated where latin american now has one of the lowest contagion rates. one of the turning points . one of the things that changed that was a moment where regional leaders here in latin america realized that economic recovery was heavily dependent on mass vaccination. so funds were freed up. governments were quick to make deals with pharmaceutical companies to ensure that the manufacturing of the vaccine could be done at a regional level. and a handful of countries played a key role in that one of them was brazil, the other argentina. and the other here in here in mexico, with that said latin america remains a starkly divided and an equal part of the, of the world when you compare testing rates and countries like sheila with one of
6:17 pm
the highest testing rates, 92 percent of vaccination rate to haiti, which has less than 2 percent vaccination rates. but when we talk about the lessons that can be learned, it's that a public policy investment in public policies that, that, that, that build public trust in, in institutions has the capacity to save millions of lives. in date, for the update, thanks very much mo. repel of our correspondence in mexico city? well, plenty more have here on the al jazeera news, our including the sanctions on russia are creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs to plug gumps and medical supply chains on vasa recused of corruption over years of payments were former referees official. sol coming up in schools. ah, california banking regulators have shut down silicon valley bank. it's the 2nd
6:18 pm
largest failure of a financial institution in u. s. history. now the bank failed to raise fresh capital on friday is suspended trading after it shares plummeted as much as 66 percent in pre market trading. and that prompted depositors to withdraw their money crating and run on the bank. there are recent development still. kim, sharing a few banks that i'm monitoring very carefully and when banks experience financial losses, it is in should be a matter of concern. no startups. venture capitalists and tech firms made up silicon valley banks, clients. and it has a major role in tech start up in the us. the bank invests in deposits, insecurities considered safe, light bombs. as the u. s. federal reserve increased interest rates, the value of the bonds plunged, but the bank couldn't raise money because a slow down in the tech sector deposits. unlike many other bank,
6:19 pm
silicon valley bank is concentrated in one sector tech and a slow down in that sector exposed it to a higher risk. it's sudden collapse has triggered concerns that other banks could face similar challenges. and that to 4 of the u. s. is biggest banks losing around $55000000000.00 of market value at a single day. now, there are repercussions outside the us as well as full tech startups that rely on funds from american venture capitalists. indian media reports a dozens of start up there. a tied to the bank. francis cobbler is a banking commentator, and economist enjoys us now from london. good. have you with us on the program. how much of this is the bank's fault in terms of it's long term investments and the way it structures it's money within the bank and how much is out of the banks control in terms of dealing really with rampant inflation. and the way that the federal bank, the federal reserves deal with financial institutions across the us. it's
6:20 pm
a little bit of bose. and because the cause really of the balance, she told that some silicon valley bank and before that sells gate, i found they had was a consequence of the feds interest rate policy. as interest rates rose, so the value of the bonds that they were using to back their deposits fell. and, but i think it's also a quite to considerable extent of their own making. they were they to can hoover not hot deposits from companies. the vast majority of which once ensured there is no ethnic insurance for them because they were too big and, and backing them, not as you might expect with on treasury bills, short term liquids advance always reserves at the federal, at the central bank, but with longer dated bonds you as treasury's agency, you may expect securities, that sort of thing. and then ended up with a duration mismatch in into compound. it's when they took losses due to the board
6:21 pm
in the market price of those securities in various ways they avoided accounting for them. so this all rather caught them out. of course, you know, viewers watching this when they hear the words hedge funds, bonds are insecurities, their eyes might glaze over. i wonder how this actually going to affect me because obviously there was a general collapse in 2008. it was a global problem. does that have a ripple effect across the united states and should you be worried in london? and should i be worried in doha, about what might happen to our banks? well, this is really quite a concentrated niche sector. this bank serves the tech sector that is going to be an impact on the tech sector and it could be quite a bad on, including here in london and potentials in doha. but i don't think that there's going to be a wider effect on the whole economy in 2008. what happened there was to do it where
6:22 pm
the states residential mortgage is ordinary people's homes. only because businesses, i don't think that's going to happen this time. i think it's much more contained in terms of this particular bank. it also dealt with the pay roll for some companies. and we know from research that sort of $200.00 things, $250000.00 is protected under sort of federal law for each account. but that doesn't help, perhaps companies that are in this particular bank who got a payroll to pay on monday. i mean, what do we have to look out for when sort of trading starts on monday morning? well, obviously some companies are going to finally get to make that payroll. second. had child obtained money from other places, yet it has said it will pay out some money to uninsured depositors. so that would be these companies this week. and i would imagine that what they're thinking about is it certainly the smaller companies in might be able to pay me enough money to enable them to make their payroll. and that it is going to be very difficult time
6:23 pm
from the sure to positives whose money is locked up in silicon valley bank right now. so to in see what happens study on monday morning classes. couple of thanks so much for joining us from london. good. have you with us now the united nations is warning about the psychological impact of february's powerful earthquakes in southern turkey and northern syria. almost 4000000 children live in the affected areas of syria. and the un says they've lost any sense of safety. after enduring years of war, some of the children in the ha position control northwest have been speaking about their experiences. center hotter reports. 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 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 allowed my feel channel. while on the
6:24 pm
look and see whether my mother, she was a marble, but among the record i only had obeyed also lost his parents. he is now living with his uncle's family. the holy apply of the bottle. saw them wildly. well, i mean, it was gone. well, we all, 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, and i will call him a coil boy jolla or guy sullivan. oh, meet. nice. don't get on regarding the meet gather journal where i'm sure it go who it just jo latasha the mother's muscles were

funny. hello, dasia little muslim duck, who will be the sir lawyer? 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, whoa, whoa, one or 2 or hang up. and that's because mohammed lost many of his friends in the earthquakes than other elsewhere theater to his present. i saw he says that he plans to restore diplomatic relations with syria. soon as he broke off ties with syria in protest after the civil war began.
6:26 pm
and the assad government crackdown on political opponents. serena bassett, attuned to, to nicea was expelled in 2012 sigma. suki was president of the time that lay, so on a good mobile number. 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 and to news. yet, 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. that these 4 people are being killed and 14 injured and a blast. and i've got this, those northern bulk province. the explosion took place that she had a cultural center which is supported by iran. many joan was helping gathering that to celebrate national journalist stay. ball still had here all the al jazeera news, r u k is national health service in crisis. thousands protests through the streets of london in support of striking health workers. and it's bull. there's
6:27 pm
a big upset in the tennis at indian wells. that story, coming up with joe said, a go ah, more records have been broken in argentina now. the cloud has gone away so he still got fairly strong sunshine and once more and rosario 39 degrees in the uruguay. 38 . do march record. this is just keep going up daily. i have to say, no reason why i should stop. in fact, the heat is going south by your blankets, roughly speaking, 910 degrees above the average as well. so this whole area, he twice, right? the size showers to the north. it showers which terminate in an unusual circulation off the coast of per rude. i don't tend to get them because it too close to the equator, but result of that has been flooding in the north west appear, peru,
6:28 pm
parts of ecuador, and it's persistent rainy's telling to ease off a little bit now. but that's what happened in the last few days. those are the pictures from yesterday. so we'll see more rain. but generally speaking, it's dying. and we got some mold come in, costa rica, maybe the north of venezuela, western cuba, and hispaniola. but let's look at the states. this is no flooding story principally centered in california. and there is more rain to come throughout saturday and sunday, california was from sterling the mountains, but blizzard conditions still around for north dakota. this storm system is going slowly east, wasn't, again, will be significant, which is the east coast. ah frank assessments this tricky provide this with this hopeful moment when we could come together and stop putting in place. the rules allow us to treat this global commons with the attention. it deserves informed opinions that g threat we should
6:29 pm
have climate change as the center of the agenda and not be overshadowed by the board as it has been critical debate. chinese side should we be shaved with ukrainian leadership you've made, talk about how thing you could talk with inside story on al jazeera, where clouds of west struggle gives birth to a true passion, where faith is more just where humanity defies. expectations. where freedom is always worth fighting. 12 and untold stories from across asia and the pacific. 101 east. on al jazeera lou.
6:30 pm
ah, welcome back here watching the old. is there a news hour with me? so whole robin, a reminder of our top story. california is financial regulators have shut down silicon valley bank. it's the largest failing of a us bank since 2008. firm fail to raise fresh capital after being affected by the higher interest rates. now is suspended, trading trading. after its shares plummeted, at least 4 people have been killed and 14 injured at a blast of god. his sons, logan bout province exposure took place at a sheer cultural center which is supported by iran is be 3 years since the world health organization declared the crew vice outbreak of pandemic. nearly 7000000 people across the globe lost their lives over 90. first case was reported in the chinese city of wu,
6:31 pm
that the 1st vaccines against covey 19 infection were approved in 2021. many hoped they would bring an end to the pandemic. the reality was much more complicated and greatly depended on where people lived as bringing nick dead from london. he's the director of global justice. now mr. debt, good. have you with us on the program. i mean, various human rights groups are very clear on how large, far by companies that develop the coven 19 vaccines with public money. we're only then happy to sell a back at huge profits to those that sort of those developed countries at a given them the money, the poor countries lost out and only received their vaccines much later. so one has to really ask, what lessons have been learned about this? that's exactly right, and that's why we put together this letter today with 190 people, including former presidents and prime ministers of all sorts of countries. banking moving the former un secretary general. absolutely, to say we've got to learn the lessons because what happened here was we got vaccines developed really quite rapidly, as you say,
6:32 pm
because of huge injections of public cache from, from particularly western governments. but what then happened when those vaccines came alive and the same thing happened with diagnostics and anti virus treatments, which they will hold it by the rich countries. and if you are a well off country, you know, you have more than you need it. you ended up bidding some of them, frankly, if you report country, your frontline health work because wouldn't have got any for the best part of 2021 . and it's just that, i mean, we weren't just saying we weren't sell you any and we will give you any. we will also saying we will not allow you to make your own. we will not sell you. we will not give you this technology so that you, yourselves, can take this and produce it yourself. and that was an absolute disaster because what it meant in turn, was around about 1300000 people died unnecessarily. every 24 seconds somebody died and in 2021 unnecessarily sickly,
6:33 pm
just shared the information and the know how it wouldn't have happened. let's just focus it on the african continent itself. there wasn't appeal by african nations for big pharma to waive intellectual copyright or peyton's, but that was resisted as you sort of suggested. i mean, is there still resistance from what you understand to sort of share for the good of humanity or does financial profit seem to supercede it even after 3 years in very my style. so there was an agreement passed eventually the world health organization. very, very late fall to little too late actually. and still many countries are saying you need to wave these payments on anti virus or treatments like packs of it. and still countries like my own countries, like britain are refusing to do that. and this has been a request from countries from almost everywhere in the african asian and latin american continents upset. we need this so we can begin producing ourselves. and the rich countries have said no. and so we're saying, you know,
6:34 pm
in order to learn the lesson, to actually many countries in the world need to begin researching, developing, and producing medicines themselves. i can't trust big pharma because while big, big farmers priority is to walk away with tens of billions of dollars in profit. and that's the kind of profit we're talking about with the fire from a donor faxing. that's that priority. it's not equitable access around the world. and so if we want to ensure equitable access, we need to begin making medicines in a fundamentally different way. of course, you know, you do lobby governments and have the ear of those people that make those decisions in various authorities. around the world, is it a hard argument to have with governments of rich nations when you, when you lobby them about drug equality, especially for those of the african continent to they care earn? it's a difficult question. i think it depends which government you're talking about. so, i mean, we were absolutely delighted that in may 2020 of all president biden in the united
6:35 pm
states. you know, traditionally one of the most pro big former governments in the world actually came out and said yes, we believe in a way, but we'd like him to confirm that. but nonetheless, he recognize the problems that arise from, monopolizing this know how unfortunately, here in britain with the british government, we had a government that basically said leave it to the market. and in essence, that meant leave it to big business. you know, we had a prime minister barbara johnson who said at the height of the pandemic, greatest good greeted you, this vaccine. and that was untrue because it was actually public money that reported back thing. and really, ordinary citizens like myself to texas have gone into producing those vaccines, have nothing to gain by handing that information over to big pharmaceutical companies and keeping it out of the hands. of most people on earth. you know, it would have been far better if we'd equitably distributed those practicing. so we could have ended the pandemic early and we would never even have the on the chrome wave interesting times and city and show the debate will continue in the years ahead. nick turn, thanks so much for joining us from london. news said to thank you pleasure.
6:36 pm
thousands of people are protesting in central london the out in support of health care workers who have been staging strikes over pay and working conditions. 40000 junior, dr. i set to walk off the job for 3 days starting on monday. let's get more on this from london. the dean barbara standing by in the cold nadeem as all many thousands on the street. so you've been out with those. protest is, what are they calling for? exactly. ah, was a hail the themes away familiar to much, much of the public here in britain because since december, there have been a series of strikes from various sectors of the national health service. so we've seen nurses out on strike ambulance workers, paramedics and others out on stripes. in the last few months, we see a physiotherapist striking. and as you are saying, junior dots is now launching 3 days of industrial action. starting on monday. i'm
6:37 pm
not. destruction could be the biggest, we've seen yet to the whole system because there are so they so prevalent as you said, 40 percent of the medical workforce. i've just spoken to one of the senior figures in the union, the b b i made who says there has been no serious movement from ministers. there is no pay offer on the table despite an offer of talks in general. now the government has been warning all along that these strikes are impacting services and leading in some cases to what they say is putting patient lives in danger. now the n h has work is marching and rallying here, say that they've been pushed to take such action because they are defending the lives of the public. things have got so desperate that they say that there are now excess deaths of around $500.00 po week because of what they call an under funding crisis. and an under investment crisis in the national health service. i think we
6:38 pm
