ah, thank you very much for joining us. us present. joe biden has approved a major oil and gas drilling project in alaska. the $8000000000.00 plan led by all giant conical philips phase, strong opposition from climate activists. they say it undermines the net administration sprays to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions . in assman comes a day after the government announced limits on drilling oil. in 16000000 acres in alaska and the arctic ocean, the project could produce up to a 180000 barrels of oil a day according to the company. but that also means extracting and using that oil could produce more than 270000000 tons of greenhouse gases over the projects 30 year life. we low is the largest proposed oil drilling plan on us public land and the biggest oil field in alaska, in decades. let's bring in shebra tansy in washington. dc. 4 is so a big deal. it would seem tell us about what's been approved today. while the
8:03 pm
bottom in the section says it's scaled back, what was the the original proposal from conoco phillips, which would have been the largest ever drilling project on extraction project on, on federal land. the bureau of land management said they reduced the project by 40 percent, but it's still, it's still massive. as you said, i mean those figures mind boggling when you think about the climate emergency of the planet faces ga, dated 1000000 metric tons of carbon emissions over a lifetime. so that's the equivalent of putting $2000000.00 more calls on the road each year for the greenhouse gas emissions, or if biting just with the strike pan approved 70 new coal fired power plants. it will be built on christine alaskan lammed, about 321 kilometers north of the arctic circle in what's known as the natural petroleum reserve. that's the largest tract of unspoilt federal land on the
8:04 pm
continent. it's been controversial, of course. tell us how the biden administration has been responding to the criticism, especially from environmentalists when you mentioned that preemptive strike, a few hours before the announcement we'd heard of these new protections for land in the arctic out in alaska and elsewhere. i know the arctic sea, but you know, i mean, as the very mentally say you come back and destroy one part of the arctic energy, but it would protect you and other let alone the greenhouse gas emission. tow bugging, ran in 2020, all. not allowing any more oil drilling permits on federal land, he broke that pretty quickly over and over the last 2 years. in fact, biting has approve more permit on federal and uneven and trumpet ministration, which as you might remember was all about drill baby drilling. so lipp at this leave the estimates of the amount of greenhouse gas that this project will emanate
8:05 pm
over a lifetime of the, of the, of the various drilling sites. go to the center for american progress, it will lead to twice the emissions. then all the renewable energy projects was supposed to come well, the new renewable energy projects on federal landed biting has announced that was supposed to cut emissions by 2030. this was supposed to be a great environmental move, but in fact, actually, central american progress has actually this, these, these drilling sites were produced twice the emissions were going to be covered in the 1st place, so, immensely, immensely controversial, the by did ministration says, look, we would have lost in court, but it was just no point fighting, but environmentalists that you got to fight listen court and there will be litigation will much separately placed against against these these new wells. not least because the department of interior own assessments raised substantial concerns. not just about the greenhouse gas emissions, but about the ecological impact for alaska, for the wildlife water, and the, the quality of life for the, for the various tribes you live them. thank you for that. she,
8:06 pm
when she returns the life for his say in washington. and president biden has tried to reassure americans that the country's banking system is safe after the collapse of silicon valley bank. the biggest us bank failure since the 2008 lobel financial crisis. us financial authorities have taken control of silicon valley bank biden says customers and taxpayers won't bear any losses, but those at the top he says will face consequences. the management of these banks will be fired if the bank is taken over by f d. i see the people running the bank should not work there anymore. 3rd, investors in the banks will not be protected. they knowingly took a risk and when the risk didn't pay off, investors lose their money. that's how capitalism works. in a moment will be speaking to christine salome, who's response 5 wall street to see how the market fair reacting. but 1st we go to our white house correspondent, kimberly how get, kimberly. so a significant move there by the,
8:07 pm
by the administration to try and restore confidence in america's banking system. tell us more about what he said and what the reactions that they yeah, the use president really trying to reassure the american public that the banking system is safe when. but mostly he's trying to reassure the american public that they're not going to have to pay for it like they did in 2008. and the reason why is because they're still soaring, inflation in the united states, and also politically the president can't afford, as he set to launch his re election campaign to really have american voters angry at him. so what he announced essentially is that, well, this silicon valley bank and also signature bank as of sundays now under federal control that the emergency fund that the banks have been contributing to is what's going to pay for these losses as well. we know that the assets of these banks are going to be sold off to cover these deposit. so what the president is doing is
8:08 pm
saying, look at, we took action, but it's different than what we did back in 2008 when congress approved taxpayer funds to help restore the confidence in the banking system. so there what we know is that the investors are going to not be reassured, but certainly those that had their deposits and this exceeds the $250000.00 cap. that is typically reassured in the united states, these are all going to be protected. they're going to have access to their money, and these banks are also going to be able to make payroll. what the president's doing is not only reassuring, but also making sure that outside of the united states there's confidence in the american banking system. thank you for that. kimberly hawkins ly forest in washington dc. i want to show you some live pictures from san francisco right now where customers from san francisco, therefore vs v b bank and lining up we understand trying to get their money out of the bank. let so find out how walter edy is reacting now in cross over to christine salumi,

8:10 pm
too fast. they put the pause button on there. but again, overall the market seems to be recovering a bit. and investors are actually pricing in the fact that because of this, these extreme measures that were taken to shore up the banks over the weekend, that the federal reserve may, in fact, now not raise interest rates as much as had been expected or projected in the coming months of course, are raising interest rates, man to as a way to get a handle on inflation. but investors betting on the fact that maybe now that won't happen. and so seeing some positive out of the negatives of these recent bank closures and not helping the markets overall while banks continue to struggle. thank you for that kristin christine salome live outside. the new york stock exchange. and authorities in the u. k. have also a short taxpayers that they won't be liable after emergency talks. europe's largest bank hsbc septic. to rescue the british division of silicon valley bank at the u. k
