a robot this and, and this is all 0 life and dough also coming up. russian president vladimir putin welcomes what he calls china's constructive role in trying to end the ukraine war ahead of a state visit by she's in pain. oh, south africa braces from mass protest against rolling par cuts corruption and unemployment. and 20 years after the u. s. invasion of iraq, we hear from a man who's tortured at the infamous album, great prison, and who still waiting for justice. ah, banking stalks tumbled on monday as initial relief about the rescue of credit suisse has given way to new worries about big banks, debt. swiss banking giant u. b. s group is buying it, struggling of also $3200000000.00 and the state broker deal. it's the latest crisis

to hit global financial markets since the collapse of silicon valley bank in the u . s. 10 days ago. the government says the deals the best solution to restore confidence in the sector. the bankruptcy of a global systematically important bank would have cross irreparable economic term oil in switzerland and throughout the world. for this reason, switzerland had to take the responsibilities beyond its own borders. these efforts have paid off the federal counselors can winced that u b. s. takeover of credit suisse has laid the foundations for greater stability, both in switzerland and internationally. bob ronan's following the story from london. it's been a really tumultuous and frantic few days in the international banking sector. pretty much, ever since weapons day when credit suisse was extended,

a $54000000000.00 credit line, which it was hoped would keep the bank going. in fact, it failed in that attempt. and last week, credit suisse were seeing deposits taken out of its coffers. the rates of some 10000000000 swiss francs every single day, a real crisis of confidence in the stability of that bank. now the news conference that's taking place on sunday evening has outlined the problems and the options on frankly, they said the takeover by u. b. s. was inevitable and unavoidable and the idea that this was a bank that was too big to fail has come up again. and again in the news conference there was a whole raft of. busy senior executives in that use conference and some of the quotes are as follows. the finance minister saying that the top priority was to protect district financial sector and also switzerland reputation for international

banking. the president said that they believe that they come up with a very strong solution to a complex situation. and the u. b. s. chairman, who is the person who is going to be helping the new entity coming out with some very strong, very reassuring quotes. saying that this was an integration, as opposed to take care of enormous opportunities. he spoke off that u. b. s will remain rock solid. now, the importance of that is to try and reassure investors. well, going to racism. just one of switzerland's largest banks is also classified as a globally systemically important bank, but the financial stability board managers around $1.00 trillion dollars around the world. it's profit dropped significate in 2022, falling nearly $8000000000.00 after losing $2000000000.00 in 2021. it shares have in his shop decline since 2021. they've now lost or was 90 percent of the value in

the past 5 years. investors took the money elsewhere last week when the banks mean shareholder refused to offer financial help. and after that, even a $54000000000.00 lifeline from switzerland central bank couldn't stem pessimism that has left the buyout solution. once you b. s. acquire credit suisse. it'll have access to more than 5 trillion dollars in assets. can him as an economist, based in the swift capital and she calls the deal the least bad option. well, i think it was the absolutely necessary and it was the best off of very few solutions that i deal solution. but it's the least fast solution, you know, the other solutions would, would have been to let the bank grow box, which have a huge ramifications both in the global financial system and in this, with the economy as a whole lot of the financial sector and or to say or to nationalize the bank. so

this was the most elegant and the least solution. what i hope it will stem that at least the, the confidence in the few b. s and the flip system. but you know what we're seeing on the, on the other side of the atlantic in the us this, there is quite, quite a bit of rumblings but did different in make sure. because if you look at the u. k . b, we will talk with the lies on pill. so many of the pulses went out there, but also they also have no liquidity issues. you look at the, at the banks in the us will have issues. they have issues because of liquidity concerns, because of capitalization. and because especially with s b b because the report the wrong and uprising interest rate, that was not the case with credit suisse. chinese president eugene paying is on his

way to russia for to day visit russian leader of letting me put in is welcoming what he calls china's constructive role and trying to end the war in ukraine. she says the relationship with russia is an all encompassing partnership community. you reports from beijing. he didn't being has visited russia. he time since becoming chinese president. his most recent trip was in june 2019. during an economic forum . c will travel there again in what's expected to be a major show of chinese support for moscow as it continues its invasion of ukraine through as usual, with china and russia working together, the world will have the driving force toward multiple rarity and a greater democracy in international relations and a global strategic balance, and the stability will be better ensured the visit comes as china seeks to expand its role as a global leader and mediator. earlier this month, it broke it a deal to and 7 years of strain relations between saudi arabia and iran. some

analysts believe it can do the same for russia and ukraine. in february, chinese officials released a piece plaid calling for a ceasefire and dialogue between both sides. this days, after several months, both parties are exhausted. and yet, the white shoe has the hoary edge. you start trying to get off and do all it is you can do it. but other se baiting is reluctant and unable to play this role due to the west's extensive backing of kids. it is great power geopolitics going on there. it's very difficult to, to play mediating role in that context. and i know the stakes are very high. ah, russia and ukraine do not want to negotiate at the moment. so there is very little china can play with baiting relies on economic trade with europe and says its impartial in the war. but its claims of neutrality have been questioned. last year,

she declared a nor limited partnership with moscow. expanding trade between the 2 countries has become an economic lifeline for the sanction country. she and putin are also good friends and have met 40 times, including on prudence birthday. the united states as china is considering providing military support to russia, which they jing denies. she is reportedly planning to speak to the modem is a lensky following his moscow visit. it would be, she's 1st conversation with ukrainian presidents and hostilities broke out care. the says it's cautiously receptive to beijing's involvement, but a withdrawal, a russian forces from any occupied territory must be included in any piece deal. katrina, you al jazeera, they doing well. the 2 liters publish articles and state media head of monday's visit president, she wrote in the russian newspaper that relations between the 2 countries are based on known alignment and a non confrontation against 3rd parties. you also stress the china's pursuing

reconciliation and peace in ukraine. meanwhile, putin's article in china's pupils, deli accused, the u. s. were following the strategy of double the terence of russia. i'm china. brewton says it's becoming more acute and assertive again, a you is joining a start from a beijing or katrina. so this is supposed to be billed as a show of support. what is present she hoping to achieve this well presented sheet and things as of this is a mission of peace and friendship. and that is important for the stability of what he says is a multi polar world to emphasize and strengthen his relationship between moscow and beijing to combat what of aging, as described as hedge, a monic bullying of the united states, but presidency to bring is very much going to moscow also to protect chinese interests. one is economic trade between russia and china has expanded since the invasion of ukraine by about 30 percent. it's now worth whopping $190000000000.00.

and a lot of that is china buying cheap oil and gas, and that's very beneficial for beijing. and it says she thinks as he will work to deepen those economic ties with moscow. but also of course, you think, looking up to shore, he sure of his relationship with vladimir putin and sure russian support for china at a time when they doing is facing increasing attentions, increasing rivalry with the united states and its allies. and to that ends. beta does not want to see a bad ending for russia when it comes to this war ukraine. it will not serve aging to see a miserable loss for russia will not serve aging to see bruce and toppled. so i think she to thing is also going to russia in an effort, in some way legitimize vladimir putin war as it in ukraine, is certainly beijing has not condemned the invasion of the, of, of ukraine. and also, beijing has said time and time again that we have to remember that russia has valid

security concerns here. and i mean, when it comes to negotiations with regard to the ukraine ward, i mean russia and ukraine are refusing to talk to each other. i was this good or influenced china's attempts to mediate in the ukraine war well, the timing is of a significant fading is looking to capitalize on the recent success of brokering peace between saudi arabia and iran. also, we've seen china released this 12 points piece plan. it solution to the ukraine crisis work goals for a ceasefire. it holds for more dialogue. and this is how beijing is saying that it's a, it's in a better position to perhaps mediate that putting itself forward as a global power. that it's been a consistent in its position when it comes to this price isn't always calling for more dialogue, not arming either. side, but at the same time, it's going to be much harder to try and be as successful mediator when it comes to

russia and ukraine for china. the one reason is both slides have shown little interest in negotiation, but also china has to be very wary of a lot of moving parts here. there's a lot at risk for china. if it pushes too hot. we have to remember that ukraine, unlike a saudi arabia or iran, it has extensive backing from the united states and europe military backing also. and also china needs also maintain its economic crucial economic ties with europe, while not poking the russian best, so to speak. beijing also does not want to do anything at all to risk angering put in to risk losing or putting person off slides or has to remember that. so that really limits how much can it can pushing any potential negotiation between 2 sides and analysts like spoken to as well as says that a say that simply bating does not have enough leverage when it comes to you prayed and trying to broker successful deal of between kevin moscow, katrina, thank you very much. dee this katrina, are you talking to ocean frasier?

it takes ali all his courage to recount what happened to him. distressing memories of violence, abuse, and humiliation. in 2003, he was imprisoned for a year by us forces in the notorious february prison, ali says he was among those who were tortured by their captors loft, and photographed them. the thought of allah under holly, some one emily calhoun. i was standing on the box, it's so strong, not breakable. they tied wires and started electric shocks. i remember biting my tongue. my eyes felt that they were about to pop out and i started bleeding from under the mask than i fell down of the company. although in sunny the brutality captured in these images shocked the world, either shore inmates naked and being degraded with some undergoing acts of sexual abuse. american guards are also seen pausing with decaying corpses high. the soil local pictures show less than one percent of the truth and what happened in the presence. abu ghraib was one out of 75 sites,

used as detention centers of what kind of human being can do such things to force people naked. sexually humiliated, inserting broken wood sticks into their sensitive parts and to lay bleed electric shocks to their genitals, they were sadists. i was humiliated. i was bitten by a dog right here. i was naked in the cell. you know, there was no bed. they meant to harm us by bringing the dog into the cell. here is where the dog bit me and he continues to suffer from the effects of his physical and mental torture and has undergone surgery many times. he's dedicated his life to seek justice from those responsible for the abuse that a rape. that's a very clear cut case of torture in prison, under military occupation by the u. s. but on the event, you can also show the chain of command and setting up the present system, the mistreatment of prisoners in iraq by the us military. and cisco's all up to

donald rumsfeld while even 20 years after the invasion of iraq. it's the constant topic of political reasons, not to do that. to go against an ally against the u. s. l. e. one of thousands of prisoners, harrowing tales of what's become the legacy of the us invasion of iraq. after an international law try 11 us soldiers were convicted of being involved and abuses at abu ghraib. and most of the service members who were accused were reprimanded without being charged rights. workers have rejected the u. s. government claims that the abuse was isolated, incidents or the work of a few bad apples. human rights watch amnesty international. the i, c r. c. have all documented cases of long sleep and sensory deprivation, beatings, torture and being held naked harlem. and this happened when the hanged me on the wall lifted the handcuffs here because of the weight of my body. the handcuff was cutting my hand and the wound was almost rotten, cross another wave,

torture was noise. they bring big speakers with unbearable, loud music. i think even after a 1000 years, our great grandsons will receive our rights. even those who were tortured by the nazis by stolen by hitler. now they are getting their right and as he waits for his rights and he wants to ensure the world does not forget his story. his worst nightmare is that people will fail to remember. and such abuse will be carried out again on others. in the war, sama enjoyed under 0. berlin. ah, this is al jazeera, these are the top stories. swiss banking giant u. b. s. is buying a troubled credit suisse in a $3000000000.00 deal. the combined groups can manage more than 5 trillion dollars worth of assets. chinese president, she's in pain, is on his way to my.
