now they find an enemy and then they try and scare the people with people in power, investigate expose days and questions they used and abused of our around the cloud on now to sierra the latest news as it's break. so trump is still the favorite here among the grass roots, and in many of the polls the be the republican presidential nominee with detailed coverage fire has swan got applied back on the struggles based on daily basis by everyone here from around the world. fire that engulfed the 1st 2 cause of this trade was so hot. it may have cremated the victims exactly where they were killed ah. stalks rally in the us as a group of private banks announced a $30000000000.00 rescue package for 1st republic bank.

ah. hello, i'm darn george. this is al jazeera live from dell, also coming up more protest and from stop to president micron bypass is parliament to push through controversial pension revokes rescue. a search for bodies in malawi, up to cycling 40 kills more than 320 people. it's president, is appealing for global support and cycle on jak who on leeches. torrential rains and mudslides and peru battering hundreds of the devastation that we have seen here . all the way up the heel. there are hundreds of homes that are totally flattened. ah, welcome to a program. well off the days of market turn,

oil coordinated efforts are being made to ease fears of a global banking crisis. emergency funding provided to us bank 1st republic saw stocks and the day hire 1st republic had fallen nearly 70 percent in the last 2 weeks. 11 banks have banded together to deposit $30000000000.00 into the struggling lender. it comes hours after the swiss 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. well, despite the uncertainty europe, central bankers stuck to a planned interest rate hike of half a percentage point. that's all part of it's ongoing battle against soaring inflation. while the us treasury secretary has appeared before a senate committee, reassuring it that the country's banking system is sound. we worked with the federal reserve and f d. i see, to protect all depositories of the 2 field 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 debt 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. rob reynolds has more from outside a branch of 1st republic bank in los angeles. fear is a very contagious thing. investors are fearful that this lack of confidence and banks and, and bank failures could spread the bank behind me up by the way. we are in beverly hills. this is just the richest neighbourhood in los angeles. it may be in the united states, maybe the world. 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, what we just heard a speaking about. so they began withdrawing, putting their money into bigger a 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 sized or regional banks. that's what the hope is that, that else? well, the jitters stem, the contagion, give people a little bit more peace of mind that their money is safe. so let's bring in tom baker. he is a senior fellow at columbia business school and columbia law school. he's also worked in corporate strategy at several large domestic and international banks. he joins us live from new york, todd good to happy with us. let's talk 1st about 1st republic. we've now seen wall street ride to the rescue and inject cash into the california linda. is this going

to be enough to prevent a run on the bank? do you think? well, it should be a public is now sitting on a very substantial or cash pile which should be sufficient to handle any additional withdrawals. the company is going to have a challenge adjusting its business models of the new realities, but i expected to survive and i expect it to be the last significant action by regulators, or are coordinating with other banks to support existing banking or sessions. and it's interesting because us treasury sexual genet, jaelyn says look, there's no need to panic, but, but this still is though, taught an underlying worry about the health of the u. s. banking system. we've seen 2 banks told over the last week, now we have this dramatic rescue of 1st republic. how worried or u. s. customs and us investors. do you think? well, there's been a lot of publicity many much bit misleading about the status of the banks. the, the banks, a significant back that got in trouble was silicon valley bank. and there were

a good reasons that it was deemed problematic. it had done some things and it says that liability management were which weren't effective. but once the psychology is captured and people focus not so much on the individual institutions and their safety and soundness. but on the question of who has the most uninsured deposits, at least to some irrational but understandable behavior of fear and worries. talk about the global banking system have been spreading, hsbc, had to buy out silicon valley bank, u. k. on the switch, central bank had to inject cash into credit suisse. how much fear is there now? do you think of global contagion? well, the interesting thing is in the us, i think this is subsiding and what's going on in the you particularly around credit suisse, is really an entirely different problem. credit suisse has been the sick man of the banking for many, many years now. and it's problems pre existed and will post date,

whatever is resolution we come to with respect to these regional business banks in the us, there's going to have to be a rethinking of how we treat backgrounds. because i think the digital age is made it clear that it can happen faster and more sharply than in the past. so everything will be going on by all local regulators. and in particular, the u. s. has to come to terms with whether really wants to less significantly large banks fail or whether it's going to try to extend capacity insurance to more broadly, to customers in the business side, as well as the individual side talk. let me get a final thought from you. we've seen central banks around the world raise interest rates, trying to cool off inflation, but that's the road of the value of some bond portfolios and cause banks like silicon valley bank to collapse. so how do you see this playing out? how will central banks them grapple with the current global economic crisis on the one hand and the same time trying to prevent a global financial crisis on the other? yes, a really difficult position to be in for the central banks. one would expect that

they're going to be a little more careful about rate rises critically there. you know, there can be mixed signals in us as to what the nature of the future inflationary threat really is actually become clear for the fed in the next few weeks. i do expect them to continue raising rates, and they have provided a liquidity facility for all us banks. that takes into account the fact that some of the securities in these bank, or folios are under water in the sense that they would, they would be loss making if they had to be sold or to redeem deposit. so we're hopeful that all these actions together are going to stabilize the market sufficiently that the fact you want us to place in fight without worrying too much about the effect on the banks is a really good to get your thoughts and your analysis. thank you very much indeed for talking to us talk. thank you. thank you. now french police have again clash with demonstrators opposing pension reforms in paris and across the country. cheer gas was fired at thousands of people in the capitol. early on the government force,

controversial pension reformed through without a vote in parliament. the changes raised a retirement age from 62 to 64. natasha butler report from paris. oh, it wasn't the outcome the french government wanted, but without a parliamentary majority, it decided to force his pension reform built for parliament by decree. a controversial move that infuriated some lawmakers and left 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 cannot risk the future of our pensions. this reform is necessary. the move comes off to more than 2 months of st . protests and strikes against the reform led by frances trade unions, the states and erosion of workers rights. i will say angry for plans to raise the retirement age by 2 years to 60,

in manuel 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 to sarah paris. oh i. mel always president is appeal for global help. days after tropical cyclone and se m. africa, the countries commercial hot blanche i, i seen the most damage with flooding and mudslides at least 320 people have died and hundreds more still missing from me. the miller has more from a lungess. this is milan, joe, west, just outside of the commercial capital blan tire. we infrastructure such as roads, telephone poles, as well as electricity poles have been completely destroyed. now this road behind us is a gaping hole, and people have placed logs across it so others can cross. but they can only cross if they can pay people who placed these polls here,

a charging and not everybody has the money to use this, make sure bridge. they don't have the money. they have to you as an alternative route, which is far more dangerous. now people are using those logs to move everything from food to water, bicycles, motor bikes, as well as bits and pieces from destroyed homes like window frames. they're trying to get across to mylanta over the bridge just ahead of us, and even then that's covered in debris will earlier while i was president, lazarus, chuck, where are told al jazeera that his country needs international health. mallory is a state of morning and we do have needs that we almost have to have now and i've been to many of the devastated places i have met people in camps and i have witness the barrier of so many people that have died

came out of the sky and indonesia less so from the laser and a bit of a concentration in the central philippines. as you can see. and unusually for this time of the year, there is rain in many parts of india and bangladesh. in the form of showers or thunderstorms that we should be looking at the pre monsoon heat is bitterly to see significant rain. but it's there in places where it shouldn't be light and i this is bit more you usual though in pakistan, it is not uncommon to get in the spring, these westerly disturbances which bring cloud and right and significant change the feel the weather. that's what they're doing. so for example, almost anywhere in pakistan you could see rain even as far southwest karachi during saturday. they left the one sunday, but it's still there. i imagine is quite welcome. ah. join the debate. we know that the sector seems empowered by history,
