crisis management and stability of the yell program of financial stability. he joins us from new haven. thank you very much for being on al jazeera a festival. do you think that garcia will stim, the, the global crisis of confidence that we've seen in the banking sector over the last week or so? i think it's a move in the right direction. this is the best alternative that was on the table to take a strong institution and u b. s. and put it behind credit suisse balance sheet. i, again, i'm in this, this is very different from 2008 where, you know, we sort of have the same problem plaguing banks across the globe. credit suisse is a, is sort of a unique institution with lots of idiosyncratic problems of the last few years and has got, has been doing a restructuring last few months that has sort of been rocky. none of that is true of u. b. s. and the issues in the u. s. are, are distinct as well. so moving this institution a, you know, behind you be as the shield is, is definitely the right play. and what's the reaction in the us,
5:04 am
spain it's max out of people are waiting for marcus to open, so you know, some bon holders are going to lose some money on this deal. and i think there's a lot of uncertainty around that. and what that pretends for, for any future interventions that may be necessary. but, you know, i think the next move on the us side really be for, to see where wall street sort of stacks up against this, against this deal. i'm sure policymakers or encouraging them to, to come out and support and tell the world that it's business as usual with, with both credit suisse and you've. yes. and how do you think the markets are going to react when they open short term? i don't know. i mean, monday anything can happen monday long term. this is definitely stabilizing it if, if you know the marker gets a lot of deal certainty here, that this is going to go through. and it looks like it's going to, our regulators have waived any requirement for shareholder approval out internationally. people are coming out support the u. k. the u. the u. s. bond them
5:05 am
out and support. so it looks like the market will have a lot of certainty. and if, if the wall street and the other big money centers can stand behind this institution, this is definitely stabilize it. yeah. what, what do you think that this is done to the credibility of the banking sector, especially in switzerland. ah, i wouldn't say much at credit suisse problems of that are been well advertised basically for years, like i said, these are sort of videos and crap, you know, scandals are big losses on individual trades for fraud in some cases they were associated with. so these problems were well known, this is not necessarily an overnight knock to their credibility. ah, you know, their, their share price has been to cheering for years. so i don't know how much to sit at the margin is, is, you know, sort of a knock against against switzerland banking system. especially with u. b. s. come to the rescue in the us and be standing behind them. i think you will have to leave it there. that is stephen kelly for us,

a brisk are nearly 3000000 peruvians who live in ravines and river banks in commerce district that to young river has washed away many homes. freight and residents are living outdoors. l. u at man. this says the government has abandoned them, is by the only way, where am i going to go? we live in precarious homes. we want retaining walls. we made decent living conditions. in 2017, a coastal, in your cost, more than $3000000000.00 in damages. this community was one of those washed away. madeline have been yes, as they were built in the same spot because they didn't have another option. we don't have money for a better home. that's why we've taken the risk of living here. we don't want to, we have to expertise, climate change is making these disastrous, more frequent. there are millions of peruvian to live in barely habitable areas. they build their homes without permits, but authorities have done nothing to stop them. so others follow suit. nearly 10
5:22 am
percent of produce population are at risk. many complain that government doesn't have a plan for them or really so the state doesn't have a social housing policy. the state implicity says here i do not give you housing, but you can occupy the public land. you want from time to time, i will give you water and other services. the government is focused in tackling the emergency. experts say river drainage and channeling systems must be built along the coast. but people like alias he, they need urgent solutions. for now, his community will have to hope he won't become the next victims of the extreme weather. again, as anxious as he'd elena palestinians have been protesting in hebron and garza against talks between israeli and palestinian officials and egypt. hm. ass which governs the garza strip, has condemned the west bank base palestinian authority for taking part in the meeting. the talks were a bit to try and calm,
5:23 am

5:24 am
or this is bad. i think it's, it's good in principle, but you really have to wait to see what comes out of it. the palestinians are suffering daily under occupation expiration of land, new settlements, rampages by settlers, curfews killings of the jailing these things have. and this is what people are going to look at if you do get a session of this israeli criminal actions. and then there will probably be a period of quiet in which these is postings are not killing each other, but you still have the occupation and the occupation is not mentioned in this, in the sex except for this, this intriguing phrase, talking about a political horizon. no political horizon can be anything you want it to me, but in diplomatic speak. it means moving to a political negotiation to resolve the underlying political issues which are the
