well, we begin with the continuing fall out from the biggest banking collapse in the u. s . since the 2008 financial crisis stock markets in hong kong and took care of both close more than 2 percent down on tuesday as international investors remained rattled. not despite us president joe buttons assurances on monday, but the country's banking system is safe signature bank and silicon valley bank failed within a week of each other. well, the bank failure has made many people nervous across the u. s. white house correspondent can be how can have after a weekend of dramatic whitehouse emergency actions before us president joe biden on monday announced that the banking system is safe. but it made the announcement following the collapse of silicon valley and signature bank last week. 2 of the largest bank failures in us history on friday, us authority shut down silicon valley bank to protect depositors doing the same on
1:03 pm
sunday for signature bank. the bible says even though both are now under federal control. unlike the 2000 date financial crisis, taxpayers won't, for the bill, no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. let me repeat that no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. instead, the money will come from the fees, a banks pay and the deposit insurance fund. instead, the cost of covering the deposit will be paid for out of an emergency fund set up by a government agency known as the federal deposit insurance corporation or f t. i see it's funded on a quarterly basis by the banks themselves. additional bailouts will also come from selling off silicon valley banks asset. the banks funding their own bailout. not the tax pair is a key difference from 2008 when the trouble the asset relief program or tarp use taxpayer money to purchase $700000000000.00 and toxic assets from the banks. and
1:04 pm
unlike in 2008, those who sought to make money through investments also won't be saved with taxpayer funds. 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. on monday anxious customers waited outside new york signature bank, everyone should be worried. oh, the follow from the bank in crisis isn't just an economic problem for president 5 in, but also a political one was still soaring, inflation and an economy in recovery. the white house knows the president can't afford any new economic shocks. justice he set to announce his 2024 presidential reelection campaign. kimberly held it al jazeera, the white house. well,
1:05 pm
that sphinx andrew simmons. he joins me now with more from london. andrea, i think there's been plenty of fall out an asian markets, but seemingly less so in london after yesterday's dramatic falls now. well, that's right. well the festival, let me just bring you up to date with asia and the european markets and her actually coping on tuesday. that is a real wave of unrest amongst investors, and we're seeing now that sir in japan, the topic spanks their share index fell by more than 7 percent. and there is also the worst day for more than 3 years in another bank. shares of mitsubishi, u f. j financial group countries, largest lender saw assets down by 81 point one percent in mid day asian trading. as far as europe goes, we're seeing a number of banks are getting into real concerned areas. share prices in the
1:06 pm
commerce bank in germany as dive by 10 percent or so. spain's sandtown debt bank has lost a similar amount. and these sir losses are compared to the u. s. aren't as big a, but it is a sign of contagion and term. the u. s president joe biden did say he do what it would take at to actually at sort of the crisis out in the u. s. that doesn't seem to have been enough to reassure the markets in the u. k. as you rightly point out things on a serious, there was fe, fast action by the prime minister is she soon neck, and his a finance minister, jeremy hunt at to actually make sure like like the u. s. that taxpayers won't get it to fund a bailout. a managed to get a deal with hsbc who paid a symbolic pound for the purchase of silicon valley bank where all the trouble
1:07 pm
began. now there isn't a situation here with, with the reliance on, on the government bonds, which obviously they go into real trouble with high interest rates, or even rumors now that to try and protect these banks who are getting a seeing big losses. that there could be a move by the federal reserve in the us to actually actually postpone a high can interest rates to try and stave off any more panic in the markets. very interesting dynamics. andrew simmons there with more for us from london. thank you so much, andrew, will let's now bring in susanna, st. them, she is the head of money and markets and the financial services fan. ha grey is ha graves lands down and she's now speaking to us from bristol, in the u. k. she's on, as we've been saying, j biden's been taking very speedy action to try to contain this contagion. but what's your assessment of how that's will gone? especially when you look at the foreign markets today. there is still
1:08 pm
a great mass of nervousness surrounding the face of those smaller regional banks in the united states. because there is a worry that motor posters are still putting out that money even though essentially we do believe shot or $5.00. she back the deposit of those collapse banks, sb be also signature bank also would probably be extended or certainly if another bank was to fail, but even several things, some people just taking their chances. i'm putting out that money the same time as you have that. and that joe biden bank that investors won't be protect case, not lead to actually loss of confidence shareholders in some of these banks, which is why you see the shaft, my plunge so dramatically. however, do you think as far as why the contagion is concerned, even though there is a one of the studies wrestling through the market, because the bigger banks have had to really be felt that capital. since the
1:09 pm
financial crisis, it's very unlikely to spread to those banks as well, even though they may be sitting on large paul's of unrealized losses in that bond failures. but essentially, they have much more stable deposits and other revenue stream, which makes best situation a lot less for carrier on a given all of that though, why are we then seeing more impacts and asian markets and perhaps elsewhere right now, i think as well and even though those financial life lines to the tech sector were maintained after deposits were guaranteed. and you saw hsbc, purchase the, the u. k. on that really did send to cyber lee through the tech sector. but it could be just a temporary, well, because the worry is what's gonna happen now is that on other banks may not be quite so generous and then lending a capacity to the tech sector. at the same time, a venture capitalist of funding is drying up. and so there is going to be worries
1:10 pm
for particularly tat, going forward. and also it could be that given a situation, banks become more conservative in lending over role. and so that will lead to where is the could lead to shop downtown and those those where it's been spinning over to trade in asia. however, what's helping to support a markets in your and to some extent at london is this expectation that the federal reserve might press pools or rates, or at least go slow in future rate hikes. and that has been a greeted with a little bit more optimism up by the markets. but still, i think sentiment is, is unsettled. very interesting to see how this will play out. susanna stress of their, from hargrove's lands down speaking to us from bristol, in the u. k, thanks for your thoughts and expertise here on out as far as his m. turning to lebanon, now we're the local currency that has continued, plummeting. it's now hit record goes just 3 years ago,
1:11 pm
$1.00 was trading it around $2500.00 lebanese lira. now it's unofficial value has nearly reached $100000.00 lire against the dollar. the currency loss of value has people of purchasing power in 2021 kilogram is chicken, then cost $2800.00 lira. now it goes from more than $600000.00. while let's bring in the hot us use across this for us in buried then 3 years of steep walls. i know everyone is wondering if there's ever going to be an end in size. it doesn't look like that because the central bank has tried to stabilize the market more than once in the past 34 years, but it has failed to do so. what is needed in this country is economic reforms. most experts, including the international monetary fund, believe the only way forward is for the politicians to implement an economic
1:12 pm
reforms. good governance, fight corruption. politicians have been reluctant to do that. so this is the result . the onset of the economic crisis began in late 2019 back. then the dollar traded at $1500.00 lebanese pounds. today, 100000 lebanese pounds to the dollar, and this is the largest bank note in circulation. so this is not worth a $1.20 it was worth approximately $67.00. no doubt there is a portion of the population who earn the in dollars, but there is also a sizable portion of the population who don't. so people's purchasing power has been affected. prices are on the rise. they've been skyrocketing people here. we've been a few minutes here and just listening to people and what they've been saying is that they cannot buy anything. they cannot buy groceries any longer. so the safest failing to stabilize the market once in a while, the central bank pump pumps dollars in the market. but what is it doing is just
1:13 pm
causing more damage. why lebanon had $30000000000.00, foreign currency reserves in 2019, now it's $10000000000.00 and zanna within the context of all of that. ma'am, we've also seen people are called holding out banks trying to get their own money out. and i see banks on an indefinite strike. how's that playing out. 2 yes, the people savings have been trapped in bang since late 2019 banks imposed informal capital. they were the biggest lenders to the state. successive governments have been accused of mismanaging funds, and now the state cannot give the money back to the banks. all banks are saying they cannot give money to, to the people. they're on an indefinite strike. now, as you can see this back next to me, close their pressuring the judiciary because a number of depositors are trying to sue the banks in order for them to pay them their money. what they're trying to say is that we will keep the banks, clothes,
1:14 pm
and you just stop those lawsuit against us. but in reality, banks really have a loss of their function suspended the loss of their functions. in the past few years, people are just able to get those a certain amount of money from banks at the end of the month. a lot of transactions loans have been cancelled. so there are multiple crises facing this country. a currency crisis, banking sector crisis, a government that crisis the basis nearly near the bank, there is now a shadow. we a shadow economy, which is bigger than the economy, a $1000000000.00 in the shadow economy. when the states is struggling to make revenues. $1000000000.00 a year, so unless the politicians carry out those reforms and fight corruption, the lira will continue as free fall. and really it's not worthless. zanna, they're on the ground for us and all the nations from beirut. thank using now agree, israeli protest is have tried to block the road leading to the prime minister's office after the parliament that the 1st reading of
1:15 pm
a controversial built overhauls. the judiciary, as it becomes the parliament would be able to strike down decisions by the supreme court with a simple majority. and will that need to pass the 2nd and 3rd reading and pardon and well that's with him, ron kon, he joins us now from west teresa and ron. can you walk us through this bill and why people that feel this so much it's they can while the judicial reform bill, it has several parts to one of the parts. the one that is making most people angry is the supreme court to that, sorry, the class, it's ability to overturn supreme court decisions. now israel doesn't have a 2nd house like the senate, all the house of lords in the u. k. so the supreme court acts are to try and stop the excesses of parliamentarians or that seen as being a destruction of a key tenant of democracy here. the 2nd part of it is the fact that the supreme court, a court currently has the right to be able to decide what the prime minister is fit
1:16 pm
for office or unfit for office. that's another law that they want to change, that prime minister benjamin netanyahu has 3 court cases against him. there is another case going through the israeli courts right now, trying to, sir, say that prime minister benjamin netanyahu is unfit for office because he has these court cases against them. and the attorney general needs to rule on that. the supreme court needs to rule on that, so it's being seen as a personal, a political move to save a prime minister benjamin netanyahu life out by overhauling the supreme court. that's why you see so many people out on the streets here. now the 1st reading was incredibly crucial because it advances the bill in parliament are now these re president isaac. hey, isaac is trying to get some sort of compromise on this. so it's, he wants a form of this bill to pass, but it's watered down premise to benjamin netanyahu. the coalition aren't shifting,
1:17 pm
they have a majority of 161 seats in the parliament. ah, so it's likely to pass if it does get to the 3rd reading, but the opposition have issued a statement to what they've said is or that they'll do everything may can to prevent the passage of the law. but if god forbid we reach a 3rd reading, we won't give it a hand and we will boycott the kinessa vote. meaning it can't go to a 3rd reading and a vote on that 3rd reading. and that 3rd reading basically makes it law in law. now that it has passed its 1st reading there and we've been talking about these unprecedented plate as presumably we're going to see even more of those wides by demonstrations. well, even before the 1st reading happened, the protest movement announced that on thursday they were going to do a day of escalation. they want to get more and more people out on the streets. now we see huge numbers of people out on the streets on saturday, 500000 across in was 95 locations in the country in israel. so we
1:18 pm
will see more people as every, that's what people are saying on social media. they need to get out what they, what they trying to do with this is put pressure on any politician within the coalition that might be wavering or to try and switch sides. if that happens, then the coalition government is over local for new elections. it's a big ass, but that's what the demonstrations are trying to do among can there before the latest forest from mysterious limb on that bill. thanks. eman. are still plenty more had he is. he is our, including tens of thousands of russians have moved to neighboring georgia over the past year, but many faced suspicion and more than a $100000.00 somali refugees have arrived in kenya, fleeing violence, rouse, and sport. the usa had back in the wild baseball classic and the will be here with that story for you. ah,
1:19 pm
now malawi has declared a state of disaster after tropical psycho freddy hit the country for a 2nd time in less than 3 weeks. as many as a 136 people have died in malawi, madagascar, and mozambique victoria, getting the reports. ah, they dig to find survivors buried under the mud, but hopes of finding people alive or fading fast. dozens of missing from this village in malawi, after tropical storm freddy, tall through it will give up. i would have written of it. i am helping to find the victims. i knew there were bodies that are still buried so far between 20 and 20. 5 bodies been recovered from the debris and ruined houses in most of the month and buried the hospital. but they all looked dead. aah! freddie is one of the strongest storms ever recorded in the southern hemisphere, and the longest lasting little was sped by the storm renewed. what young women in
1:20 pm
holy mussel. so now it was to burn in the night, but now that it is day time, i can feel the loss. i have never seen something as terrible as this. my neighbor's house is all organic, the family members are gone. they are missing a some cases the father is alive, but the wife and the children are gone on the same storm pummeled central mozambique on saturday, ripping roofs off buildings and bringing with it wide spread flooding. tens of thousands of homes that damaged. the un says more than half a 1000000 people could face a humanitarian crisis in one of the world's poorest nations. im allowing people have been urged to move into temporary shelters, and the government has declared a state of disaster. the guy to read rent, if, if this is the 2nd time this has happened in 2015 will to experienced a disaster. but this time it's far worse. i think the number of down here is likely to rise. scientists say climate change is making tropical storms more powerful as oceans absorb heat from greenhouse gas emissions. hear him allow a many,
1:21 pm
a suffering the consequences. despite having done the least to cause it. victoria gate and be al jazeera on the storm started $37.00 days ago now in the western pacific and has traveled more than 8000 kilometers, gathering strength over the indian ocean. it may downfall and madagascar as a tropical cycling from there and then moved on to batter, mozambique for several days had regained strength than in the mozambique channel and hit the country again. one for more unless we have got our senior meteorologist everson fox here with us in the studio and everson seeing the storm move around, go off shore and then come back and hit the country twice. how communist and yeah, it's not common at all the stars. yeah, it's, it's, it's very rare is the truth, be no storms do tend to make a bit of a right turn as they make their way to wherever they're going. and this one, as you say, is made his way into the southeast corner, south africa, southern africa spun round and come away back stake little satellite that she could see the position of what was the storm. it is no longer tropical cyclone. it was
1:22 pm
downgraded a couple of days ago, but cit, sir certainly has a lot of rain still to ring out the winds have east off. that's the good news is we go on for the next couple of days. we will see more very heavy rain. so we saw over a 100 millimeters of rain and 12 hours, 82 millimeters in just 6 hours as a lot of rain in that is inevitably calls that are flooding just off the coast incidentally, where we have for this location bearer. that's where we saw c temperatures, surface t temperatures at around about $29.00 degrees celsius. so a very warm body of water, an ideal breeding ground for these storms actually. so when they do get in there, that's why they are with that, that bad. it's now in the process of pulling away, you can see how it's easing its way just off the coast of missouri big and it will continue to push out into the open waters. but coming in behind, you've got that legacy of showers running up across mozambique, north mozambique into malawi, and it'll grassy make his way back to madagascar. i reverence very relieved that
1:23 pm
had been downgraded. thank you so much. everson, i'm moving on and beijing says that australia, the u. s. and the u. k. have disregarded the concerns of international community and gone further down a dangerous road. his comments come a day after peasant i biden's host and prime minister's wishes do not. and anthony alban, easy and california. the 3 leaders announced that estradiol by at least 3 u. s. manufactured mucus, submarines. john henry reports now from point lemon. naval base and san diego. it is a bold effort to shift the balance of power in the pacific. the leaders of the u. s . the u. k. and australia cementing a plan to deploy nuclear powered submarines from the australian coast aren't press it at a trilateral cooperation. i believe is testament to the strength of the longstanding ties. the united is under our shared commitment of ensure the endo pacific remains free and open, prosperous and secure. the plan will take decades to complete. the defense alliance
1:24 pm
called arcus, has already begun with the 1st of hundreds of australians embedding in u. s. and u. k. submarine building programs. more u. s. subs will start visiting australia this year, while british subs will increase rotations from 2026 by 2030 to australia, plans to buy 3 nuclear powered subs containing conventional weapons from the us, with the option of buying 2 more. and sometime in the 20 forty's, australia expects to have its own nuclear, so built by the u. k. and australia using the u. s. technology. the orchestra gray met we confirmed here in san diego represents the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all of our history. the biggest threat in the pacific comes from an increasingly aggressive china, which has built new fortifications in the south china sea. it's a situation that china has,
1:25 pm
has created and brought upon itself very much like girl russia has in the ukraine. china's gene pain is called the august plan, an effort to encircle and contain his country view as, as missouri. here is a nuclear powered virginia class attacks of mine. the kind of us will send to australia is that country developed the capacity to build its own nuclear subs go longer, farther and faster than conventional subs. and that's a big advantage. the new fleet, replacing australia's aging diesel force requires the u. s. and u. k to boost their nuclear ship building capacity and to build one in australia from scratch. but ultimately, the defense of our values depends, as it always has on the quality of our relationships with others, with china engage in its own submarine building program and flexing its muscles in the south china sea. the 3 english speaking arcus nations are betting that together . they can better counterbalanced the size of china's naval force. john henderson,
1:26 pm
al jazeera san diego. well, let's not hear from john blackland. he is a professor of international security and intelligence at these trillion national university strategic and defense study center that he joins us now from camera. john, this is obviously not an uncontroversial day. and there are many that argue that poking china like this will any d stabilize the region? yes, this does. yeah, thank you for having me on a course. that's the view by the time i would like us to believe the bottom line is this is only made possible by the fact that china has expanded its military capability. these at industrial pace enables see cyberspace me. so type of strategic struct forces have expanded while the wolf for diplomacy and shop power has expanded as well. this is all happened done, the president g, and it would have been unimaginable a decade ago. august is
1:27 pm
a direct consequence of growing fees of chinese assertiveness and, and aggressive pursuit of its interests. and that's exactly what's happened, but it's also the result of changing technology that has changed the dynamics restraint in the, in the united states. john, i'm curious about the priority here. is this a deal potentially that's less about getting submarines than keeping the us engaged militarily in that region. so the nuclear propulsion challenge is a really significant one for a trailer. so it can't be discounted essentially diesel electric submarines are no longer stealthy if you having to transit long distances. which if you even have to go for one port city to another industrial. yeah. you do that, so you lose still, then the submarines keep functionalities still. but of course with the united states being a little bit, you know, showing some selection,
1:28 pm
this tendencies also relatively on the wine in terms of great power dynamics. there are some there's an industry or what we call a fear of abandonment. that's been evident for more than a 100 years. but seen this latch closely to the british, subsequently to the americans. this august deal lay enables us strongly to acquire nuclear propulsion technology while deepening the ties with the united states and the united kingdom. that goes far beyond the ends of treaty. the ends of treaty from non $51.00, the launch of united states to $900.00 would say that has no mutual security guarantees. but what we've seen emerge in the last few decades, consolidated with locus is a series of mechanisms that virtually guaranteed american engagement in mutual defense destroyed and its interests. and just right now. and that's exactly what i wanted to ask you about because you spoke there about this fear of abandonment. i
1:29 pm
know lots of questions, particularly industry are being asked about whether something like this potentially erodes this trailing sovereignty. yes, exactly. so we have this fear of entrapment to interfere been meant and that the question of sovereignty is a really interesting one. because ironically enough for take defense forcing the strategy to increase our self reliance increase our ability to make some decisions . we've become more and more reliance on american technology. and so i run it clear enough while there's concert in the united states might not stay. we actually need the technology more than ever. if we're going to have to operate in a semi autonomous, maybe even independent manner, regardless of what happens is august, very interesting dynamics going for john blackland the at progressive international security and intelligence at a in new strategic and defense study center. thank you for joining us. entering your thoughts on out there. a john on the show now
1:30 pm
ukrainian president wrote me as lens. he says a russian missile strike in the city of coming to us because killed one pass and coming to us is just under an hour away from the eastern frontline city but much which has now been almost completely destroyed by relentless shelling. then he says 3 people also wounded and 6 buildings were damaged in that attack. he says the buildings are residential and again, as you, as moscow is troops of targeting civilians. but at the same time, russia has agreed to extend to the ukraine grain exports and also talks with the un, but are in need for 60 days. that's half the length of the previous agreement. the grant export packed has helped ease the global food crisis, triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine last year. more than 24000000 tons of grain has now been exported under that deal. well, that's now speak to stephanie deca. she is following developments for us from keith steph. given that moscow is only willing to extend this feel for 60 days, how's that going over there?
1:31 pm
while ukraine is saying that this is a breach of the deal, the deal is supposed to be extended under its terms for a 120 days. ukraine is saying is going to stick to that. russia's issue with the deal. according to moscow is that the part that affects it and protects its export . it's not being upheld because of the effect that sanctions are having on things like logistics and payments and even insurance. and this is delaying their export of fertilizers and also grain and wheat. of course, it gives it some leverage over ukraine because part of the deal, the deal is basically that russia allows ukrainian ships to pass through the black sea into the boss. for us. there have been complaints from key about delays of ships delays and checking them, saying that moscow is doing this on purpose to increase shipping costs. either way, those talks continue. there was a feeling that this will be extend. the deadline of that deal is on saturday. on march, the 18th, it's crucial globally, really because both russia and ukraine major export is of wheat and grain gets
1:32 pm
exported globally. when that deal was put in place in the summer of last year, the exports ukrainian exports pretty much almost returning to pre war levels. so it is a success. and this is also why it's so vital certainly that they continue with this deal. but again, the feeling is that despite these back and forth between the 2 sides of how long to extend it for that it will be extended. you say the talks continue the fighting is katie, continue and can you tell us more about this russian missile strike? that's hit comatose, more homes, residential areas being hit. yes, this was announced by the u cain ukranian president on this telegram channel. saying that again russia is targeting civilians is shutting a residential building one killed. this is. unfortunately, the ongoing reality here along that front line that really does stretch, even though we've been focusing very much the media and the politics. and this is
1:33 pm
that mining town where the fierce is fighting is ongoing and it's become really symbolic in the latest fighting. but the front line stretches the hundreds and hundreds of kilometers from the north, from clark gave all the way down to have on. and you have these vintages where a lot of people have evacuated because the fighting has been back and forth for many, many, many months. but you also have a lot of residents who remain don't want to leave, particularly the elderly, the sick, and the day. the reality for them is very difficult to comprehend. living in basements with no water, no electricity, no heating. but again, if we talk about the military angle in ukrainian saying they will remain defiant, particularly when it comes to by saying that they are trying to wear down the russians. it is, of course, a private waggoner mercenary group that is fighting their they hold the east, the ukrainians, hold the west divided just by a small river through that town. but is it is providing a very deadly bottle for both sides. very difficult to confirm the exact number of
1:34 pm
dead, but it's very clear that it's providing very costly in terms of life on both sides . stephanie, to hit that with that update for us from the ukrainian capital. thank you. stand hostile ahead. here on out is there, leak testimony and grease sheds lie on what may have caused head on trains. listen, the kill 57 piece and in sport will hear from team aiming to and manage the cities hope to the 1st champions the ah fellow, it is looking very unsettled across a good part of europe over the next couple of days. lots of cloud piling in from the atlantic. we will gradually see some milder air talking in, in the moment. it is on the chevy side, with still coming in from the north direction around the u. k. republic of ireland
1:35 pm
as well, pushing down through the low countries and on into frances, where the system here that's making its way further east was and it will gradually take its way with it. but ahead of that is lottie. final dry keep doing. all right . 12 degrees celsius. he, there's a 17 therefore progressed warmer, still for bell grab it does is it still some when she weather up towards the at north west still some rain around into parts of france. some snow the pyrenees added the across the alps as we go on into where wednesday that will not is a little further east with some wet weather very much in place here. next area, malware try to push in that something for the 2nd half of the week ahead of that london struggles to get to around 8 degrees celsius before that rain sets in. there's rain already down pushing across. so greece easing its way into to kia and we'll see whether, whether just clearing away from the eastern side of the mediterranean as we go through the next couple of shows that malware in london, touching 13 celsius on thursdays, cooling off. meanwhile, across the northeast of africa, kara goes from round 22 to 21 by wednesday afternoon.
1:36 pm
ah. the dancing in baldwin is an important part of indian culture. no surprise and many people, one to one dog and one previously tried to balance family expectations and cultural tradition. i guess the way now with the reality of working in the giving industry body with the native movies as it breaks from, it's still the favorite here among the grass roots and, and many of the poles to be the republican presidential nominee with detailed coverage fire has stronger applied back on the struggle based on daily basis by everyone here from around the world. fire didn't go to the 1st to cause this trade
1:37 pm
