5:02 pm
sedition, and harassing police. that's after several days of compensations between police and his supporters. they bid protesting multiple corruption charges against con. he says the cases are politically motivated. well going on to the u. s. and markets have kicked off fridays trading on a negative note. investors shrugs office, 30000000000 dollar and fusion into 1st republic bank. the shares of the 11 banks that injected funds into it are mostly down and early trading. the banking sector has had multiple scares this past week. silicon valley bank has now filed for bankruptcy, while problems at credit suisse rattled, european markets. let's cross over to wall street and get an update from gabriel is on there. he's joining us from there. so how jittery do the market remain? gabriel?
5:03 pm
yeah well they're definitely opening up in the red, both the tao s and p both in the red down on early trading on friday. the nasdaq is the only thing that's gant got a bit of a little bit of a game so far as we're going through a pattern. now, it's a pattern that we've seen all week, and that continues to repeat itself every day. now it's what bank has failed to day . if a bank will fail today, what are the worries and then how will there be some sort of bailout or recovery effort for that bank, whether it was 1st republic, silicon valley bank, signature, bank credit suisse. we've seen this cycle now for a little over a week and that it's a continuing cycle that we're seeing now. in terms of 1st republic, they gained actually about 10 percent on thursday, after there was the announcement, the wall street was injecting nearly $30000000000.00 into that bank as a confidence measure. we're already seeing that that's not having much effect on
5:04 pm
friday. first republic, down about 20 percent in early trading signature bank down about 6 percent. so it's really these regional banks that we continue to see really taking these hard hits, as there's really apprehension on wall street of what could happen this weekend. as people are really looking at what regional banks don't have their deposits insured, don't have their deposit, it's guaranteed. and could ex bank ex being what is that bank potentially be the next to fail? right. and what we saw on friday, gabriel, is that silicon valley bank. you're mentioning that bank just a moment ago, but that bank filed for bankruptcy. so what's been the reaction to that? what should we make of this? well, it's a little bit to be expected. it was silicon valley bank, financial group, the parent company, listen, the bank failed, so it's sort of expected that they would file for chapter 11. bankruptcy,
5:05 pm
which they did about an hour or so ago. however, it's troubling because it shows that so far, no one came out to buy the bank before it went into bankruptcy. even at the steep discount is pretty much worth almost nothing at this point. even at that steep discount, no one stepped forward to actually buy it. so it's still, they're still looking for buyers for it, but now going into bankruptcy. that changes the dynamics a little bit. but the bottom line here is, is the 30000000000 that was put in to 1st republic on thursday by wall street, top wall street banks. that 30000000000 wasn't an injection of capital. that wasn't money to buy the bank. that was just a confidence measure that was 30000000000 basically to signal to the market and to the wider world. quite frankly, that we are confident that we can get through this. and i say we, i mean the big wall street banks, it was a confidence measure because they don't want these regional banks to fail either.
5:06 pm
when i mean they, i mean the big banks that have trillions of dollars in assets. because then that would be like a wildfire that could spread to the entire banking system. that is the worst case scenario that everybody, the federal government here in united states and the biggest banks on wall street are all trying to avoid at all costs. yes, sounds like there could be a lot at stake. thank you so much. gabriel is on there for the time being gabriel's reporting for us from new york. we're taking back to one of our other top stories and that's practiced on where the former prime minister in ron con has now arrived at the high court in the hor, along with his supporters. let's bring in come hider, who's outside that high courted le hoard. so what the former prime minister is doing come all is that he's seeking protective bail in a number of cases, filed a him. what's the likely outcome? well, good. now tell you that protective bay has been honored by the law. i called it

5:11 pm
organize, which is i'm over. i know i me a buzz were used things, clothes, they didn't shoes work over the home. they brought those things to my house. that's when we have come to distribute actually we're just nearby. no godaddy's issue number thing. it's our, my, me we want to do today. we're willing to buy, so when to buy everything for these people while help is trickling in, they are only 18 classrooms at this primary school and they're completely full. they're run out of space. and so they're starting to pitch tents wherever they can to accommodate the people. who continue coming in to this temporary camp, looking for refuge from rita mila al jazeera plant. i am allowing protesters and frauds have gathered across the country as unions war, and they'll continue their fight against pension reforms. oh, the latest action comes off to the government bypass parliament enforce through
5:12 pm
a controversial plan to raise the retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00. that anger protests or is even more crowd set cars on fire. and more than 300 people were arrested. natasha butler is in paris and she has more well, a number of french ministers have been trying to defend the pension reform in the way it was for through by decreed by policy parliament. they said it was an action that was necessary because they say that this reform is essential if fraud is able to sustain its pension system in the future. nevertheless, that is certainly not washing with many. m p 's a lot of anger amongst some lawmakers. we know that lawmakers on the left and also to far right and also independence. hey blake, emotion of confidence against the government that will be voted on monday. meanwhile, trade unions are calling for more protest nationwide day of action on thursday. and

5:14 pm
a social aspect to that question, but there's also a political aspect to the question. the problem is that the government cannot find a 50 percent majority. they just don't have it, they don't have it with people and they don't have it international assembly. so what do they do? well, they just do what they have to do, which is try to save money and we are self feel like we are under privileges. i'm not sure what will happen in the parliament. it's possible that some people on the right wing and so people in the left doing end up, you know, agreeing on what to do. what i do know for sure is what i'm a participant in which is the coming demonstration and they will be method. my impression is that we will have people that so far has not participated. that will start participating precisely because they believe in democracy precisely because they believe in a social republic. in france, we are not just republicans. we also believe that the republic should be social front has never been more profitable for the past 3 years. there are record profits recorded in the tech count, which is the top 40 companies here. look,

5:16 pm
blistering heat. and over here, they don't have too many facilities. as you can see, they're sitting on straw, matt. it's where they're also sleeping at night and cooking their food. so these are parsons, are la la la la, and this is our 3rd march towards the city. the government didn't fulfill its promises during the fast to protest, so we don't trust the government. we cheated every time. i've been looking for 6 days, hoping our demands will finally be met and a half that this onion prices have fierce political implications and have brought down governments in the past. it's a staple and end in cooking and effects. a majority of the middle class and nearly half of windows working population works in agriculture, making farmers a critical vote. bees. this protest comes as form was in north india, are protesting and demanding increased financial protection from the government. bob newman, the largest, 0 vash, and western india. still ahead on al jazeera, ah, a powerful cycle,
