day of the national people's congress. the leader was elected as president for a 3rd term last week. he had already been appointed for another 5 years at the head as the head of the communist party and the military. the national people's congress has also pass a sweeping plan to reorganize the country's institutions. as get more in all of this, from our correspondent in beijing, katrina you and between what was she didn't being main message for china and for the international community. i think she did things. main message is that china is going to go forward and strengthen itself admits a more challenging international environment size you mentioned earlier, this is she didn't think stud speech as president the 1st 25 and 10 years ago focused on the chinese dream. the chinese people definitely looking. busy inward, but this 3rd speech is different because it looks outward and it looks at china's place in the world and how it's become a more challenging world for china. now he sort of flagged these international

challenges at the beginning, the speech thinking briefly about china's history. how at the beginning, it was a semi futile semi conduct colonized country that suffered at the hands of bullying foreign powers. but this change under the leadership, he says of the communist party, which modern, nice china. now he says, going forward, chinese to focus on 2 things in order to make itself stronger, rejuvenating its economy, and focusing on its security when it comes to its economy. he said he needs to chinese students look forward in terms of developing it. society needs to focus on innovation, self reliance, nurturing new talents. and secondly, when it comes to security, he spoke about the importance of defending one china, the one china principal, especially when it comes to hong kong and taiwan. and i think this is all indirect response to increasing tensions that china has with western countries. specifically the united states, which has threatened it's position not only economically,

but also geopolitically. economically. the u. s. has placed some strict technology sanctions which have targeted chinese firms that is really impacted it's access to the global market and do politically. of course the u. s. seems to have moved closer to taiwan in recent years. and this has angered beijing, a lot and aging, considered high one to self world island part of its territory. and it said, i the peacefully all through the you a false. it will be reunited one day with the chinese mainland. i got for she's a pig now in this unprecedented firm term as president, but mika chung did step don's prime. and so after his 2 terms is now a new man in the job and he's talking to the media. now, what's he been saying? that's right. the new premier leave town is speaking to the me to his 1st press conference. so far is just begun and you've been speaking about the importance of the economy and developing china's economy. he said that recently the economy here

in china, not only the local economy, of course, with the international company has gone through unprecedented and unpredictable challenges and the focus right now of his premiership. and the communist party is stabilizing that and making a, china's economy more secure. and doing that internally, he also said that despite these challenges, china is confident that it will be able to stabilize things and continue growing going forward. now li chung is quite young. considered if you consider the other communist party officials around him, he's the age of 64. he's from the south of china and judge young province, which is important because that's where she didn't pin once a lead to communist party. so he, his career has really developed in tandem with sheet in ping, and he is seen as a very close loyalist of the president. and he was a form of personal aid of president she didn't paying. and just before taking up this role, the child was the party secretary of shanghai. now what's interesting about him is

that he is no and actually for his pro business approach, poor business tendencies, he's known to have relationship. for example, with jack maud, those head of alibaba, a very big tech company here in china. but he also oversold the very brutal cove at 19 locked down in shanghai last year. so i think the conclusion that we've drawn so far about hidden is despite his, his own tendencies to focus on developing the economy and being pro business. his bottom line is he will fall into line what he needs to and will impose a president. she didn't piece instructions despite the cost and div katrina you thanks very much brings all the latest from beijing. now, high level delegation from the un security council says negotiations all the only way to and violence in the democratic republic of congo. the team concluded a 3 day visit to the region of gunman killed, more than 50 people in a tax and north keyvi province. in recent days,

alexander buyers reports the hopes and prayers are running high in boucher guard. these are just some of the half 1000000 people who fled fighting in eastern democratic republic of congo. there are surviving the best they can, but they're hoping this un security council delegation can bring an end to the violence. and they'll be able to go home for some i think we are all listening, hoping that clear instructions, clear messages will be sent through one, the end to the m 23. so that on march 31st at the latest, out here at treat can be liberated and that the thousands of disaster stricken people can begin to return to the places of origin progressively. this is our great progress. the un team has spent 3 days assessing the security situation. m 23 rebels have been taking villages and towns and getting closer to the

provincial capital goma. they're accused of massacring dozens of civilians. they carry rwandan army equipment and are widely understood to be backed by rolanda to galley denies the allegations. but on sunday, the french ambassador to the un said there was no denying the connection of the molten on here. it is clear that we want to support the m $23.00. it has also clearly established that there are incursions by the regular wandering army in north kiva. and at this too, is unacceptable. so this is one of the subjects that must be discussed and must stop. east african regional lead is have given the rebels until the end of march to withdraw from their positions a ceasefire between m 23. and the congolese government was supposed to take effect last week, but collapsed within hours there shortly. he's away out of the crisis in this case, can only be political. it can only be through negotiation, but in an emergency,

security must be improved. action must be taken to worship must be used when necessary, particularly against groups against the m 23 and against others. m 23 is just one of dozens of rebel groups operating in the region. more than 50 people have been killed in 3 separate attacks in recent days. local officials say the gunmen were with the allied democratic forces, an armed group with origins in uganda. that's pledged allegiance to isolate each attack, sends more people from their homes carrying what they can into overcrowded camps. and each time the pressure mounts on the u. n. to put an end to the violence. and while this visit may have raised the hopes of some achieving peace in eastern d, r. c continues to be a monumental task. alexandra buyers, al jazeera,

as president joe biden says he will address the problems in the u. s. banking sector on monday. that was the federal government announced action to shore up deposits on some, any broader financial fall out from the southern collapse of silicon valley bank. the u. s. federal reserve on treasury say the banks customers will have access to their deposits. allan jordan has more from washington d. c. the u. s. government took control of a bank that did a lot of business with crypto currency firms on sunday. this comes after the failure of silicon valley bank and california on friday. the u. s. president joe biden released a statement late on sunday, saying that he had ordered the federal government to make certain that the customers of both signature bank in new york state and silicon valley bank in california would get all of their money. this is a big deal because normally when you have an account with us bank, the in assurance only covers the 1st $250000.00. however,

the emergency program now being launched by the treasury department and other federal economic agencies will cover all of the customer's deposits in those 2 banks. that way, the people who use those banks to run businesses, for example, can pay their bills and make payroll. now, there is a lot of controversy already over this emergency program, even though the federal government says that this will not be a cost to taxpayers. some economist saying ultimately this pat, this cost will be passed on to taxpayers and to banking customers. they are others who were saying that it is important for the u. s. government to prevent a run on other banks. if customers have more money than $250000.00 deposited in those institutions, they say it is critical to keep the u. s. economy on

a steady footing. the u. s. president does note that there is growing concern about the situation with the banking sector. and he told reporters on sunday evening that he's going to talk to the nation about it. on monday, economists and financial analysts, robert scott says, the federal reserves raising of interest rates has led to the banking sector issues that has an obligation treasury in the f d. i see actually in this case, the ones who made the announcement, they have an obligation to protect the positives and the banking system. but that big a larger question is the fed going to get the message and slow down this program of tightening of the interest rates in the economy. the concern is that the state is going to pitch the economy into a recession. that will cause millions of job bosses and that will get the poorest and the hardest, black and brown workers who will lose their jobs. first, the wealthy and powerful,

who own the corporations that are benefiting from these times of fail will not be hurt. they'll keep their jobs up, keep earning, profits is low. income workers who will suffer is resolve these type policies. thousands of protesters have been rallying and grease of anger grows over the countries deadliest rail disaster. 57 people were killed. last month when 2 trains collided had on demonstrated the demanding a thorough investigation and for something to be done about, greece's neglected rail network. jones rock, las reports from athens, greece's 3rd major day of protest in the 2 weeks since the accident. people here reject the arguments to the station master who put the train on the wrong track, was the sole culprit. they won't politicians to admit their responsibility as well . then if it's not an accident, it's a crime. i feel for the families that lost their children. i think the authorities are trying to trick us. the problem is the lack of measures taken by governments

and the money that was set aside for safety. some people embezzled it, so let me know, human error can be corrected. safety systems exist to do that. but all government seem to strip the railway network, we students believe transports run on a cost benefit analysis from the government, except that there are responsibilities beyond the muster. the sonata thought it was either cashing. it is very likely that it was human error. this doesn't detract from the fact if we had a nation wide system of automated remote viewing after it's certain that this accident would never have happened. the government vows to have automated safety systems in place by the end of the summer and points out that previous administrations also failed to install safety features. but it is this government that is paying the political price. the protest march came to the hellenic railways, organization offices and petered out. but the political problem remains new opinion polls out on sunday show that the government has shed between 3 and 4 and

a half percentage points from its approval ratings. so it is unlikely to be able to form a single party government after elections between now and july, about 86 percent of respondents have said that the railway accident is the number one problem facing greece today. the ruling new democracy. conservatives are trying to limit the political fallout. they'll pay families of those killed a lifetime pension of $1600.00 a month and settled there outstanding taxes and private debts. but people here say exchanging human life for money is precisely what led to the disaster. when greek rail was privatized, 6 years ago and stuffing was cut, jobs are awful. us al jazeera athens. oh, he was 90 faith academy awards are underway at the dolby fair to in los angeles that take a look at some of the big winners announced so far. we've just got the latest when, as daniel kwan and daniel shina winning, directing oscar for everything everywhere,
