hello. so robin, you're watching all of their life. we're headquarters here in day hall, coming up in the next 30 minutes. when banks experience financial losses, it is in should be a matter of concern. a major bank goes boston, silicon valley, sending shivers through the us financial system. compounding trauma, we hear from children in syria, who are coping with years of war and 2 devastating earthquakes. and the case national health servicing crisis. thousands protest in london in support of striking health workers. ah, welcome to the program. it's been 3 years since the world health organization declared the cove at 19 outbreak, a global pandemic. and since 2020, the virus has exposed the vulnerabilities of hell systems around the world. experts

will, the crisis is or it has call so far from over the world, the total global death telephone. the virus is nearing 7000000 people. 61 percent of the global population is fully vaccinated, but it's still killing between 901000 people every day. international monetary fund projects the pandemic will cost the global economy $12.00 and a half trillion dollars. the 1st signs of the virus was seen in the chinese that we've won 3 years on global health. experts remain divided about the origins of the virus. katrina, you begins our coverage beijing. the city of han today is bustling, but the strict grow to virus lockdown. employers to 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 us. we were very close to outside. and how have you been coping with algebra interviewed him at the time as he did his

best to keep his young son busy. one was the 1st 30 in the world to be locked down because of the spread of corporate 19. on march 11, 2020. the world health organization declared the outbreak of pandemic, and various governments demanded answers regarding its origin. in 2021, china finally allowed a team of w h o experts to visit with hahn. but the trip was short and tightly controlled measures. beijing said were necessary for preventing the spread of corbet. 19. china was the last country to drop it. strict corbett 19 rules at the end of last year. and now life in many cities looks very much like it did before the pandemic. but we're still no closer to knowing the exact source of the grown of ours. and the w h o says a plant 2nd phase of the investigation has been cancelled lighting challenges in conducting the study. politicians in the u. s. have accused paging of a cover up the f b. i says a lab leak was likely the u. s. energy department agrees,

though with low confidence, chinese officials have dismissed the findings as political height. some health experts say the hunt for patient 0 is an unhelpful distraction. we have been so distracted by trying to change the style, 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. for mark leo says he's just relieved his work and his family's lives have returned to normal. or what his hamburger, your weather is business. we're studies over. we're working harder than before and making up for lost time. like many living in the hunt, he wants to focus on the future and not the past. katrina, you al jazeera beating. while gorb is in kenya's capital my robina, he explains the last again part to 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, south africa, 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. 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 on counted deaths. and while vos thumbs were bent on researching cove, it, most of that money was targeted in richer countries. in 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 kathy's rule. so stifling for trade and for the economy. many of those locked downs were in for brutally by soldiers and police. people were killed including here in kenya, and just as those pressures started to lift, the conflict in ukraine bought 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. lots of america has reported about 15 percent of cases and 25 percent of deaths and cave in 1900 worldwide. in many countries, the virus, the vaccine rollout strained, already struggling health care systems. and we'll wrap ela has more from mexico city. early on in the panoramic health experts from around the world were very clear about their warnings. for latin america,

the combination of widespread poverty inequality and a lack of a regional sort of strategy of containment and, and prevention of the virus. all of these things played a key role in the ultimate impact that coven, 1900 would have in the region. in nowhere was this more evident than in brazil. president jaytal. so now will, i think history will 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 coven 19 of ad, about the advocacy of the, of the vaccine and for not implementing a strict policy for cove it nationwide for brazil, brazil obviously was not the only country to be affected in latin america, latin america, which accounts for more or less a percent of the world's population at one point with accounting for one 3rd of all coven deaths 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 care of contagion here in mexico, for example, at the end of 2021. when the cobra, the army kron barian, was spreading across europe. the government here and mexico was touting a low infection rate just ahead of the of the holiday season, where contagious 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. california banking regulators have shut down silicon valley bank. now it's the 2nd largest failure of a financial institution in the u. s. history. they bank fail to raise fresh capital on friday, and it's suspended trading and shares plummeted as much as 66 percent in pre market training. and that prompted depositors to withdraw their money creating a run on the bank. there are recent developments that concern a few banks that i'm monitoring very carefully. and when banks experience

financial losses, it is it should be a matter of concern. start at the venture capitalists and tech firms made up silicon valley bank clients and it has a major role in tech start ups across the us. that the bank invests in deposits, insecurities considered safe like bonds, and that's the u. s. federal reserve increased interest rates. the value of the bombs plunged for the bank couldn't raise money because a slow down in the tech sector deposits. unlike many other bank, silicon valley bank has concentrated in one sector and that's tech. and the slow down in that sector exposed it to a higher risk. it suddenly collapses triggered concerns that other bank could take similar challenges and lead to 4 of the u. s. is biggest banks losing around $55000000000.00 of market value in a single day. or francis cappella is a banking commentator to call him, as she says, silicon valley bank should take responsibility for making deposits without

insurance. the cause really of the balance sheet holds it. so 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. i'm but i think it's also quite to considerable extent of their own making. they were basically moving up hot deposits from companies. the vast majority of which weren't insured, there was no ethnic insurance for them because they were too big and backing them. not as you might expect with treasury bills, short term liquids, bonds or with reserves at the central bank, but with longer dated bonds. us treasury agency logs back securities, that sort of thing and ended up with a duration mismatch and into compound it when they took losses due to them born in

the market price of those securities in various ways they avoided accounting for them. so this all rather caught them out. this is really quite a concentrated niche sector. this bank serves the tech sector. there is going to be an impact on the tech sector and it could be quite a bad on, including here in london and potentially also in dover. but i don't think that there's going to be a wider effect on the whole economy. now the limitations is warning about the psychological impact of february's powerful earthquakes in the southern to kia and northern syrian areas. almost $4000000.00 children lived in those affected areas of syria and the un says they've lost any sense of safety. after, during gears of war, they know how to report. many of the victims of february's earthquakes at his southern turkey and northern syria were children. those who survived still live the tragedy mohammed of de la as from the syrian village of ancient order,

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 i'm out of farm field. while on the look and see whether my mother she or, or the marble but a mom and then the record i me for her debate also lost his parents. he is now living with his uncles family, so the whole fi off the bottle saw them, wiley, 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 have him,

we'll believe jolla or guys telephone. i'll meet. now you don't, can i regarding the sort meet gather journal where i'm sure it go who it just jo latasha mothers muscle to were funny like our her look as applied to asia. 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 would do a lot more one or 2 or hang out. and

that's because mohammed lost many of his friends and the earthquakes than other al shakita. the honey hope all is had a program that actions that humanity. he explains what some of these children in syria have to go through. that says we're not been already under a lot of pressure due to the years of ongoing conflict. so even before the earthquake, we have a report of 30 to 40 percent of children. they were under under, under pressure to jump out of schools and joined to work purses. one of the cases was a 15 years child who is working in the bakery and he had to go to his work at the day of the earthquake early for a m, he was going to the bakery to do his work. and 15 minutes later earthquake happened, and when he left back to his home and he found that it was destroyed. and he was just waiting for his family and to be rescued from under the repose. and

sadly, after a couple of days they were, they were, they were, they, they were out. and the childs have faced a lot of distress. and our, our team have spotted this case after 3 days where the child have bought over 30 kilometers by him own, by his own. he was, he was not talking. he was not telling anyone. i think they was just spotty. they have just spotted him sleeping in the streets. and when they tried to talk to him, he was unable to talk. so they offered some psychological sessions or, and he started to recover a slow day and now he's in one of the shelter. at least 4 people have been killed and 14 injured in a blast and of got us those northern bulk province. the explosion took place that a she a cultural center which is supported by iran. but many journalists have been gathering

that to celebrate national journal to stay still ahead. here on al jazeera cabinet, re shuffle, implementing approval ratings will take stock of july, and gabriel burridge is 1st year in office. ah, it down in bonds with an important part of indian culture. it's no surprise in many people with family expectations and cultural tradition. i guess the way now with the reality of, with a push to new extinction are now the army in, in community groups that brought them back from the brain or 11 east investigates

the whole robin in doha reminder. of all top news stories. it's been 3 years since the world health organization declared the cro divine was outbreak upon demick, nearly 7000000 people across the globe and died of k with 19 since the 1st case was reported in california is financial regulators have shut down silicon valley bank. it's the largest state in the us bank since 2008, the firm fail rate, fresh capital that's to be affected by higher interest rates. nearly a 1000000 people across france have taken to the streets for a 7 straight day of strikes and protests against president monroe macros, pension reform plan. the bill that would raise retirement aid from $62.00 to $64.00 is still make its way through the legislature with a final vote expected as early as this month. my phone twice turned down, calls from unions to meet for talk this week and claims his plan is essential for the countries financial health. will. meanwhile, in london protested, have gathered in support of health workers and demand. the government do more to

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 to retaining stuff. they think that colleagues leave the profession. they're also worried and we've heard that speeches today about the prospect of increasing privatization within the whole system. thousands of israelis are demonstrating intel of ease against plans, like prime minister benjamin the we all have to severely limit the powers the supreme court. these are like pictures, people having protesting the move for several weeks. that was a bill makes its way through the legislature. critics call the move and democratic thousands of dutch fobs gathered in the hague to protest against the government's plans to limit nitrogen emissions. they say it would lead to the closure of many livestock farms and reduce fertilize the youth earlier the issue that emergency order granting police extra powers to insure safety during the planned protests.

after the civil war began and the assad government cracked down on political opponents. the syrian ambassador to, to nicea was expelled in 2012 lay silica, mo, barbara. unless there is no justification for the non existence of a to nisan ambassador in the syrian arab republic, or the ambassador of the syrian arab republic here into his. yet the matter of the regime in syria is an issue of concern to the syrians alone. we are dealing with the syrian state and the choices of the syrian petal. we have absolutely nothing to do with their choices. criticism is mounting over racial attacks against sub saharan nationals into nicea last month. present place site claimed that there was a criminal plot to change the country's demographics through irregular migration. now, many african refugees unlike was want to leave the country citing physical and verbal abuse. how feet but i have a, has this report on the capital tennis. he had the been a at the have a lot. the building is incomplete, but sudanese refugees have found temporary shelter here. the conditions are harsh

and they lack the very basics to survive. now they also live in fear since president chi psi, it's february statement that acute sub saharan africans of taking part in a plot to change to new his demographics rather let out a little bit of a label of it. are they following the decision that has been issued in recent days? we stop working and we no longer know where to go. unless wranglers are the woman that has done that, most of these refugees have lost their jobs, and some of them said that they were subjected to attacks. they came to the headquarters of the u. n. refugee agency to ask for protection and re settlement. others gathered in for the ivory coast embassy in the capital tunis attempting to get return tickets to their countries. yup, replied the person, they are racist people who do not want to see africans here. and for them, he does not matter if you are a student with residency documents or not, why they do not deal with us as a human beings. but see us as a masters from a forest. presidents, i had denied accusations of racism and announced measures to protect african

refugees. it still doesn't or not that wants to accomplish. they are in another world. what happened was a misunderstanding, but i could describe as not innocent. the important thing is to respect the chin. izzy. in law, these are brothers, i reiterate, they are brothers. so what are they talking about with this campaign? oh, many traditions express solidarity with refugees rejecting offensive statements or actions against them by the love i've been in was may be led in, but on saudi. yet they were angry that their government is being accused of racism, but also feel ashamed of the violence and hope the crises were not spoilt in asia or undermine its values. chiles left when president has marked his 1st year in office with a 2nd cabinet reshuffle. it's been a difficult year for gabriel barrett. she was elected a platform that promised sweeping social reforms, but a struggle to deliver a latin america editor. lucy newman has moved from santiago just days before

marking his 1st year in office. the world's youngest elected president made light of a gift. one meant to compare him with the cuddly, fictional character, we need the pool. until a few months ago, gabrielle body 2 turned 38 last month, wasn't laughing as much. his approval ratings had plummeted. inflation and crime rates were escalating and a highly controversial presidential pardon of people connected to the file and protests against inequality in 2019 led to the resignation of his chief of staff and the minister of justice. all the overwhelming defeat in a referendum last september of the progressive new constitution dealt a harsh blow and was seen as a rejection of the president himself. i gun book, lay them underneath the constitution was the matrix of his program of the generation that brought borage to power that might have door to knock out punch for any government but boyish, showed extraordinary resilience and ability to get up and come out fighting again.

now i knew perhaps less ambitious draft constitution is in the works. the economy is recovering, inflation is down, investment is up. and so the president's approval ratings, and what the me all the people valuable young i'm, we've had difficulties, i won't deny it, but i want to tell the whole country that today i am full of hope and optimization . many admire his ability to show flexibility and make concessions when his plans aren't working. but it has starting his 2nd year with a cabinet. we shuffle that above all, emphasizes experience is message the chileans is that the time for making a diagnosis of this country's problems is over and that it's now time to act. and perhaps for that reason as opposed to last year. there are very few millennials left in his cabinet while some more hard line leftists accused, but each of betraying his principles. many people we spoke to rated him highly. as

yo, william, i think he's doing a good job. it's not his fault. the conservative congressman refused to approve a tax reform bill meant to finance social programs, but all of us. and he's the 1st president to roll up his sleeves right away to oversee the dissolved the left by this years for aspires to put em. it's too soon to judge the work of the government and just one year that takes more time. but in general, i think he is good. i like his style. it's a political style that some people are still trying to come to terms with. but like him or not, the new left president has shown inability to maintain stability even in these complex and polarized times. to see in human al jazeera santiago, club is government and the e. l and rebels have taken the 1st steps towards a temporary cease fire that have agreed to start negotiating a truce. the breakthrough came during the 2nd round of peace talks in mexico city

on friday. clubby as the president, gustavo petro has bound to bring total peace to the country, almost half 1000000 people have been killed in the conflict, which has raged close to 6 decades. indonesia, morocco volcano has erupted, the volcano is located in the yo yo, dr. region. it's been spewing potash, o 7 kilometers in europe. he is one of indonesia most active. okay, next i'll be back with more news and the out there. a news i'm just under half last time. the next inside story with adrian finnegan to stay with us. ah. with now catch you think? well, it's got to settled in this part of the world is all about change once again. first of all, come into western turkey and increasing subtly breeze. and increasing likelihood of

rain is coming across the gin. and as a result of that is going to be wet. now these over light pictures, temperatures, you'll notice nothing like freezing anymore up to double figures in many places. but the change in the weather type isn't going to be back good. it's still called left a snow on the real tops in the mountains in southern turkey. otherwise it's going to be rain, some of that quite heavy as well. bit of a gap though, down the coast from syria down towards egypt with temperatures back to where they should be. but if we expand the picture, it's not so pretty in a good part of saudi arabia. all these blue areas are likely flash flood areas. thunderstorms slow moving, stretching from the mountains in the southwest, towards the border with q 8. that is sundays for cross. let me take you to monday and it moves old cross q 8, was bahrain suddenly ran down through cut out quite possibly in the mountains. the southwest, sadie and yemen. and of course, rain's been rather a problem in mozambique tropical storm. freddy's now made land full of rain is the

big problem as the wind dies away. in complete contrast, the blazing hot sunshine in botswana with record high temperatures. ah, good, breaking down the headline still exposing the powers attempting to silence reporting . what did you do? what did you investigate? why didn't you after that? there are many during the sensor, it will have a chilling effect on the pigment boy, 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 delivery on dedira, iran and saudi arabia to resume diplomatic relations and a deal broken by china, which took the world by surprise. it's been welcomed across the middle east and internationally, but not in israel. so what are the.
