sided ministrations are very concerned about this development, especially for what it means for china's power on the world stage. critical debate and are all the both the legal reform door. they see that we are living there probably in depth analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera, it's been 20 years since the united states led invasion of iraq, which overthrew president saddam hussein a widely controversial military operation that kills hundreds of thousands of iraqis and displaced 1000000 small a conflict is consequences are still being held to date the iraq rule. 20 is on, on al jazeera ah 2. ready stalks rally in the u. s. as a group of private bank. announce

a $30000000000.00 rescue package for 1st republic bank. ah. hello, i'm darren jordan. this is al jazeera, alive from della also coming up more protest in france after president macro bypass is parliament to push through controversial pension reforms. rescue a search of bodies in malawi after cycling pretty kills more than 320 people. it's president of appealing for global health cycle of yahoo on each, his torrential rains and mudslides in peru, battering hundreds of homes, the devastation that we have seen here all the way up the hill. there are hundreds of homes that are totally flat. ah, welcome to the program. well, up a days of market turmoil, coordinated efforts are being made to ease fears of

a global banking crisis. emergency funding provided to us bank 1st republic. so stocks and the day high up 1st republic had fallen nearly 70 percent in the last 2 weeks. 11 banks of now banded together to deposit $30000000000.00 into the struggling linda. when it comes hours after the swift central bank offered a $54000000000.00 lifeline to bolster credit suisse, that's the 1st emergency help offered to a major global bank since the 2008 financial crisis. what despite the uncertainty europe central bank has struck 2 as stuck to a plan, interest rate hike, of half a percentage point. that's all part of it's ongoing battle against soaring inflation. on the us treasury secretary has appeared before a senate committee, assuring it that the countries banking system is sound. we worked with the federal reserve and f d. i see to protect all depositories of the to fail banks. on monday morning, customers were able to access all of the money in their deposit accounts,

so they could make payroll and pay the bills. shareholders and dec holders are not being protected by the government. importantly, no taxpayer money is being used or put it risk with this action. deposit protection is provided by the deposit insurance fund, which is funded by fees on banks when rob reynolds joins us live now from outside a branch of 1st republic bank in los angeles. rob, so it's pretty rare for us banks to be rescuing each other. is this injection of cash and to 1st republic like to have work? do you think well, you know, darren, i mean fear is a very contagious thing, and investors are fearful that this or lack of confidence in banks and, and bank failures could spread the bank behind me up by the way. we are in beverly hills. this is just the ritz, yes neighborhood in los angeles, and maybe

a in the united states, maybe the world. ah, and this bank 1st republic was known as a bank that cater to wealthy individuals. so those wealthy individuals began to feel queasy when they realized that the bank has so many about 67 percent of its deposits were uninsured. in other words, they were covered by the government's insurance scheme that a janet yellen were we just heard a speaking about. so they began withdrawing, putting their money into bigger, more solid banks. and now that those banks have joined together to give a resounding vote of confidence. not only in 1st republic, but in all other small or medium size or regional banks. that's what the hope is that that holds the well, the jitters stem, the contagion give people a little bit more peace of mind that their money is safe. yet robert, despite this rescue that for the owner, this continues to raise questions about the broader health of the u. s. banking

system. yes, it does. and, and about just the very strange economy that we find ourselves in with the inflation still running pretty pretty. a strong of the interest rates rising yet employment, very strong. hundreds of thousands of new jobs being created every month. and now a panic about certain banks. it's is a very odd economy, and i think it also shows darren as you meant, as you mentioned that, that people have lost trust in a lot of institutions over the past. so say, since 2008, when layman brothers investment bank failed, bringing on the grant and the great recession, people are no longer really trust a lot of institutions. and banking is, is one of them. now the banks that have bailed out or rescued, as we might say, 1st republic are the biggest in the country with huge assets like of jp morgan

chase, for example, more than a trillion dollars where the 2 trillion dollars i should say an assets. so for them providing $5000000000.00 a piece to to get some peace of mind at 1st republic was really a bargain and their stocks by the way, today finished up. all right, i rob reynolds live for stay in los angeles. rob, thank you. while banking law, professor cornelius hurley, things, the volatility in the banking sector could continue. here. we have 11 us banks rescuing this regional bank in california that most people outside the region haven't heard of and yet, and yet at the bottom line, it's an issue of confidence that the public to the investors have confidence in this bank or anything. i think it's interesting to know secretary yon's testimony to the effect that the taxpayers are not on the hook here. i wish the

administration would stop saying that because taxpayers are on the work. the deposit insurance fund is a small fraction, very small fraction of the total uninsured deposits that are, that are insured throughout the country. there is real fear because the shareholders are at risk. as was noted, the, the 1st republic shares sword at the news of the, of the rescue, but then they plummeted and after hours trading. and i think we can see that floor to tillery continuing for awhile until that situation resolved itself. but i see the national bank of switzerland, bailout or rescue of credit suisse as being similar to the lifeline that the federal reserve sent to silicon valley bank that failed just a few days ago. the federal government here is in the awkward position of having sent this lifeline to silicon valley bank, sending a signal to all depositors over the insured limit of $250000.00. that in fact,

they were insured. and as secretary yellen testified today, no, in fact, that's not the case. french police clashed again with demonstrators opposing pension reforms in paris and across the country to a gas was fired at thousands of people in the capitol. earlier the government force controversial pension reformed through without a vote in parliament. changes raised the retirement age of 62 to 64. natasha butler reports from paris didn't it wasn't the outcome the french government wanted, but without the parliamentary majority, they decided to force his pension reform built for parliament by decree. a controversial move that infuriated some lawmakers and met the french prime minister, struggling to be heard on the per pound. we can't risk seeing a 175 hours of parliamentary debate come to nothing. we can't risk seeing the compromise built by the 2 houses dismissed. we can not risk the future of our

pensions. this reform is necessary. the move comes off to more than 2 months of street protests and strikes against the reform led by frances trade unions to states and erosion work has rights and also angry over plans to raise the retirement age by 2 years to 60, to demonstrate as he gathered outside the parliament st they'll continue to fight. oh, pretty revolting is the fact that despite the fact that the government represents a tiny minority and doesn't even have a majority in the parliament, they order a constitutional tools that they can use to course it's through in completely undemocratic manners. but that won't do. that won't her hinder all resolved to pursue the fight. that's why you're here today. and that's why the fight will pretty tomorrow. forcing a bill through the parliament by decree is legal under the french constitution. but it is a course of action seen by many as a failure of politics. acting outside the national assembly, france is hard left leader said the government didn't care about people which was

on actual vacation. god. i find it significant and symbolic that for a 100 time the government used a decree to buy hostile will of the people. we must coordinate with the unions and do all we can to have the ssl or withdrawn. performing the pension system was one of presence in manual macros campaign promises. he says the systems outdated, costly and unsustainable for future generations. in the end, he will have succeeded in changing it, but at a cost to his political reputation. natasha butler, jazeera paris, o. u. k. government and healthcare unions of come to a final pay offer which could and strikes affecting the national health service. the offer to unions representing nurses and ambulance workers includes additional pay for next year. unions have already voice mixed reaction to the offer, which doesn't cover jr. doctors, we're also striking blah, we as president, was appeal for global support. days after tropical cyclone hips,

a 16 year old brother. it was one of the victims were definitely disappointed. we regret the judge's consideration was lacking in thinking about the loss of a 135 lives. others decided to stay away from court. this week, many survivors told al jazeera, they are too traumatized and disenchanted with what they call a lack of accountability from authorities. i always think about seeing my friends sal dead in the hospital. i have lost my friends how come the punishment is so unfair. site is now an unofficial monument to what happened that night. the shoes of spectators still lined the steps of the stadium a sign of how they desperately tried to escape just a little longer. i have been following the case closely because it's about a 135 lives. and now it's like nothing happened at all the law, the case was handled quietly. like many in milan, he feels the seriousness of the tragedy and the devastation it caused for this

told reporters why they have released the normally classified video. i think that our words and our actions speak for themselves and similarly, rushes, inaccurate information, false information, observation, grasping at straws, changing narratives also speaks for itself. but experts believe there is a broader reason the world is seen this. now. i think it just is an attempt to keep demonstrating on ambiguously that rushes the aggressor both in the broader war, but in the tactical engagement we just experienced with the draw. and so there can't be any duplicity on that front. i think the goal is to make sure russia remain seen as the pariah and the aggressor in this conflict. and on capitol hill. another top military officer testified thursday that they are seen more aggressive russian military actions in syria. they fly over our bases with ground attack aircraft with, with weapons on them in an attempt to try and be provocative. but really,

it's unsafe unprofessional, not what we expect of a professional air force. they want to try and renegotiate the deacon function protocols if they violate every day. this is not new. rush and behavior is it, sir? in especially with regard to the drone incident that we recently seen. it's not new, but we have seen a significant spike since about 1 march in syria, a russian official accused us of to distract from its financial crisis. russia is declared part of the air space off limits since the start of what it calls its special military operation in ukraine. the u. s. as it's going to continue to fly in international waters. so well, this is the 1st or contact between the us and russia. it may not be the last political haine, al jazeera outside the pentagon. poland is become the 1st of ukraine's allies to commit to sending fighter jets polish president under i duda says warsaw will deliver for mig $29.00 jets and full working order in the coming days with more to
