7:02 am
communist party and the military. and i shall people's congress as also passed a sweeping plan to reorganize the country's institutions as joined katrina you now she is in beijing for us to create a quite strong method in the present. she didn't ping it to the world. what's right, this is his 3rd speech beginning another term as chinese president and the 1st 2 speeches it was focusing really in would about the chinese dream. speaking about the chinese people. but this one did very clearly focuses outwards. it looks at china's place in the world and that increasingly challenge environment that china finds itself it. now we spoke a little bit about china's history. he mentioned quite pointedly, china's history suffering at the hands of foreign bullies. they talked about how the communist party rescued china, helped to make it a modern nation. and now the focus and the task at hand is really about making china stronger. and he spoke about this in 2 areas. first,
7:03 am
when it comes to the economy, securing china's social economic stability, focusing on innovation, nurturing, new talent. and the 2nd ways we spoke about is strengthening china's position when it comes to it secures it. he mentioned a quite strong terms. he said that china needs to build this steel great war to safe, got its sovereignty and debating needs continue to defend the one china principal, especially when it comes to hong kong and taiwan. now this speech i think is a direct response to china is increasingly tense relationship with the united states. and that relationship has really sought to threaten both china's to position economically as well as geopolitically. economically, washington has placed some strong sanctions targeting chinese funds and that's impacted a chinese technology funds as well as that access to the global market. and also, washington has become closer to taiwan, which is really agood big june because they aging sees that self hold island as
7:04 am
a part of its territory. and she's jumping himself has said time and time again that that territory will be unified again with china. the peacefully all through the use of force and the new prime minister lea chung has been speaking to the media. his main job is folk off the economy. what you've been saying? that's right, so he just finished his press conference as the premier notes, a lot of talk about the challenges chinese current economy is facing and the need to go forward by focusing on stability that they need to be increased of more jobs, especially for graduates. and that the need to be more support for entrepreneurs coming out of the 3 years approach that we had and going forward. and among not only a challenging domestic situation, but also internationally. the economy is also undergoing some new obstacles. he also spoke about china's private policy. he defended it outright, saying that that was completely correct. that had bought china time,
7:05 am
obviously raised eyebrows around the world in response to that. and thirdly, also mentioned us and he said wouldn't talk about decoupling. he said that the does not benefit either side and going forward. beijing and washington can and must cooperate and that suppression is in nobody's interest. now talking a little about the child himself is relatively young compared to other chinese communist party officials who 6 people who seen as a more sort of charismatic and down to us. bigger, he saw the hist for in the south to china, where he knew really grew up in parallel to he didn't pig and he's a close for my personal aid of he didn't being and very loyal to he didn't clean himself. now interestingly, he's actually very pro business known to be pro private sector. he's a former party secretary of shanghai, but he also just saw that very brucell heard that locked out and that was imposed on that 50 last year. so i think people are describing it miss somebody who is
7:06 am
quite modern and quite a forward thinking when it comes to supporting entrepreneurs. but the same time a figure will not hesitate to impose. she didn't think will no matter what. ok, katrina brings the latest there from beijing. thanks very much. katrina. a high level delegation from the un security council says negotiations are the only way to end violence in the eastern democratic republic of congo. a team concluded a 3 day visit to the region as gunman killed more than 50 people in attacks and north tv province. in recent days, alexander buyers reports, 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. i think we are all listening hoping that
7:07 am
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 that the molten on to it is clear that we want to support the m $23.00. it has also clearly
7:08 am
established that there are incursions by the regular wandering army in north kiva. and that this too is unacceptable. so this is one of the subjects that must be discussed and must stop. east african regional leaders have given the rolls 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. little keys 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 wish and 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
7:09 am
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, he was president joe biden says he will address the problems in the u. s. banking sector on monday. answers the federal government and else actually to show up deposits instead of any broader financial fallout in southern collapse of silicon valley bank years. federal reserve and treasury say the biased customers will have access to their deposit was lend. jordan has more from washington d. c. the u. s. government took control of a bank that did
7:10 am
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
7:11 am
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 crap, 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. and economists and financial analyst, 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
7:12 am
d. i see actually in this case the ones that made the announcement, they have an obligation to protect depositors and the banking system. but that banks a larger question, is the fed going to get the message and slow down this program, a tightening of the interest rates in the economy. the concern is that the stat is going to pitch the economy into a recession. that will cause millions of job losses and that will get the poorest. and the hardest, black and brown workers who will lose their jobs, furnished the wealthy and powerful who own the corporations that are benefiting from these kinds of fail will not be hurt. they'll keep their jobs up, keep burning, profits is low, income workers who will suffer is resolve these type policies. the us has denied and reached an agreement with iran on a prison swap. it says it wants to secure the release of 3 americans that says, reports of a deal on false wrongs. foreign minister said an agreement with the white house was
7:13 am
eminent, moth ed regarding the exchange of current prisoners between iran and the us. we've reached an agreement within the past few days. if everything goes well on the american side, i think we're witness a prisoner exchange in the near future. we see this as an entirely humanitarian case. ali hassan has more from tucson. if this swap was in both business only, it would have been easier, but this one would involve beside the prisoners. there are 3 american iranian prisoners here in prison. and there are also iranians in the united states, but there is also a close. the iranians won $7000000000.00 of their money in south korea and japan released and also some other amounts in iraq. so this is right now the, the core problem. this is where the united states isn't kind of able to go ahead with this with this issue and it's kind of complicating the whole deal. and now the
7:14 am
minister announced that his deal, the americans now are denying completely that there is thousands of protesters have been rallying in greece as anger grays over the country's deadliest rail disaster. 57 people were killed last month when 2 trains collided, head on demonstrations, demanding a thorough investigation. chance romulus has more from offend. his grease is 3rd major day of protests in the 2 weeks since the accident. people here reject the argument that 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 they say 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 and basil their level system is more than a human error can be corrected. safety systems exist to do that. but all government
7:15 am
seem to have stripped the railway network. we students believe transport to run on a cost benefit analysis on the government, except that there are responsibilities beyond the station. mostly before, not that i've talked about the, the caching it is very likely that it was human error and throbbing. but 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 point 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 officers 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,
7:16 am
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 their 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. sarah had hair on out. is there an in the battle for back? not wages on an east in ukraine, with reports of hundreds killed of chintz killed in the symbolic location and hard lessons from honduras. why more than a 1000000 children could miss out on education this year? ah
