is there a news our life, my headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes? european chairs nosedive after swiss of banking giant u. b. s. rescues. it's troubled. rival credit suisse in a government backed deal. 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 sheeting thing also plays out in force in kenya as the opposition stages. demonstrations against the president and the rising cost of living. also 20 years after the invasion of iraq, we hear from a man who was tortured in the infamous, savage grey prison. and who still waiting for justice in small castle cruthers returned the top of the well tennis rankings. the spanish scenery did it by beating dental medford in indian wells. ah,
1:02 pm
welcome to the news or an enormous risk for switzerland. that's how the leader of the 2nd biggest party in parliament has described the takeover of credit suisse by its main rival, u. b. s. the commons came at the end of a tense weekend, as bankers regulators and government officials struggled to save the swiss slender credit suite managers around $1.00 trillion dollars around the world. its profits dropped significantly in 2022, falling nearly $8000000000.00 after losing $2000000000.00 in 2021. credit suisse shares have been in shop decline since 2021. they've now lost more than 95 percent of their value in the past 5 years. investors took their money elsewhere last week, when the banks mainshine told us, refused to offer financial helps. after that, even a $54000000000.00 lifeline from the swiss central bank. couldn't stem the pessimism
1:03 pm
that left the buyout solution. once cbs acquires credit suisse, it'll have access to more than 5 trillion dollars in assets. the bankruptcy of a global, systematically important bank would have crossed 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 greatest stability, both in switzerland and internationally. chris rober cuz a banking leadership expert home previously held senior roles and a number of international banks including u. b. s, and joins us now from london. good tubby with us on the program. mr. robert, i just quote here by saying that you bias can handle a risks or from taking over swiss rival credit suisse. you be as chief, ralph hammers tells a local
1:04 pm
t v station. do you have as much faith in that statement as well? i have faith that that u. b. s will do its best. and the key thing is if you, the s is able to get a grip of the situation in credit suisse and bring credit suisse up to the standard that u. b. s. is operating at the fundamental problem that credit suisse had versus u. b. s. is that u b s was really badly hit in the financial crisis and it learn the lessons. it learn the lessons around. you can't go for making money at any cost. you have to have integrity, you have to have good risk management. credit suisse did not learn those lessons, and that's why since the financial crisis, credit suisse has got itself into this position. so the challenge for you, yes, is to ensure that any parts of credit suisse, which effectively enter the u. b. s. system have to be brought up to the u. the s
1:05 pm
standard for the customer. it's all about confidence in the bank and confidence for the bank customer be corporate, or the general public. i mean, do you think this buy out in general terms will settle the markets in switzerland because at the moment the market saw a tanking a little bit when it comes to this that the news is emerging now. yeah, i think, you know, fundamentally, markets have a tendency to get very, very jumpy wayne things like this are happening any form of instability somewhere there is a ripple effect across the world and, and everyone. so that is taking a protective position. i think as long as the way that this is going to be done is presented to the market in a credible manner that the market believes is, is going to work. then everyone's going to calm down a bit. now, from the perspective of customers, yes, you know, there are a number of issues, but fundamentally you have to put your money in
1:06 pm
a bank somewhere. and certainly for customers in switzerland. ah, yes, there were 2 major banks on the high street. there will now only be one, so perhaps there are questions with the switch government about certainly in terms of retail in switzerland. how the monopoly now power of u. b. s needs to be controlled. but overall, i think that people will hopefully start coming down and just watching what's gonna happen. chris will of the, the issues ready for the investor and for the general customer of any bank will be concerned about what happens to them money when they deposit their funds into a bank. and in layman's terms, a bank, as we've seen in the u. s. doesn't always have the liquidity and the funds to give back to the customers all the money that he wanted they wanted at the same time. so for example, i have a $100.00, i give it to the bank. and so do millions of other customers. if we all want it back at the same time, we can't have it. so what's the bank done with my money?
1:07 pm
i mean, the fundamental point is, 1st of all, in terms of the s, b, b, p a, that s b, b. there were separate rules for what are affectively local american banks that were more lacks in terms of the amount of money they had to have on hand. if people started wanting their money back. when you look at credit suisse, you vs, and the top 30 other global banks, they have to have a significantly larger pot of liquidity. i. e, money on hand. if people start to want to get their money out, the question is for regulators. whether that requirement is high enough, because obviously from the banks perspective, it doesn't want to have that much money sitting around doing not much in particular . fundamentally, for the perspective of the customer, i would suggest that if you are with one of the top 30 global banks,
1:08 pm
you are probably slightly safer than you might be with a smaller bank. and it is quite clear that the central banks of all the major countries are now coming together to make sure that customers can be assured because they have to have a banking system that works and either increase you a part of the merger back in what 1998, i believe u b s was created. but now the unique situation that switzerland finds itself in is it only has what you might say. one major bank on the high street which and in other words as a monopoly which raises red flags for countries that want to do business with switzerland. i don't think it's about, you know, i don't think it's about really where the countries want to do business with switzerland. because obviously you vs credit suisse. they have investment banking arms across the world, wealth management for ultra reach individuals across the world asset management across the world. so in those areas, there isn't
1:09 pm
a monopoly because there are other banks like goldman sachs, morgan stanley, barclays, hsbc. certainly for the swiss. there is, as you say, an issue about, you know, there will be one major bank on the high street that said switzerland has a significant number of smaller local banks that do provide. that's much more than many other countries, a significant local service. so for your average swiss person who wants a current account just to keep their personal finances running their well covered in the high street. but for customers that want to take on more banking services around asset management, potential investment banking and private banking. then yes, there is a question and the swiss government need to think about that. but certainly from the perspective, all employees in credit suisse, ah, there is a problem because there is fundamental education in the job losses on the horizon.
1:10 pm
the it's been really good because you chris robot. julius i from london. thank you for your time. thank you. just the chinese pleasant shooting thing has just arrived in moscow. the 2 liters published articles in state media had all the to day visit present. she wrote in a russian newspaper that relations between the 2 countries are based on non alignment and non confrontation against the parties. also stress that china with the seeing reconciliation and peace in ukraine, meanwhile, teaches article in china's people's daily accuse the u. s. a. following a strategy of double deterrence of russia and china food and says it's becoming more acute and assertive. that's bringing katrina you who's on for a sin beijing also. but 1st bringing ilia shop alova from moscow. correspondent, what can we expect from the visit in terms of what the leaders will agree on while you're right,
1:11 pm
that chinese presentation pent just arrived in russia just several minutes ago. he's playing touch down at the most cove nuclear airport. so later in the day he will meet fred and pete in 4 talks. and actually that will happen in about 3 and a half hours from now. and we also just heard from me triple called the criminal spokes person. according to him, the ukrainian crisis will certainly be discussed, cheering the negotiations between payton and she's paying and that person will give she's in pain beam 1st hand perspective, so to speak on what's going on in ukraine. and the official russian position on ukraine is called blame the united states, saying that the u was, does not allow to regina the intensity of has policies in ukraine. and the credit also reacts at calmly, according to this call to the decision of the i c. c. regarding period 10, so apart from ukraine. whoa, whoa, still they sure will be discussed that,
1:12 pm
indeed trade between china and russia has grown significantly since the beginning of the military operation in ukraine and also the introduction of sanctions by western countries. china has become the largest bio russian oil gas and coal, and also according to patient and according to to he's. he's that kremlin assistance and increased the rule in the nation national currencies in the mutual trade. what we discussed as well as the russian chinese main gas pipeline power of siberia and new nuclear power units built in china would be participation of a russian specialist and operation. and that participation in the country in the shanghai corporation, organization and bricks. so all these issues are going to be on the table and are going to be discussed indeed call. so we talk about business as you say,
1:13 pm
it's broad spectrum. but i think all eyes and all is, will be on the issue of ukraine and the potential for mediation in terms of what's being said, said in the papers in the media, radio, television. what's your opinion about whether russia is open to such conversation? while of course, it should be because we know that china presented a plan for a peaceful settlement of the conflicts and not so long ago. it consisted of 12 points and that plan was met with a negative reaction in ukraine and western countries were also skeptical about about it because it is considered to be to pro ration. so russia is happy and it's going to a basically look forward to implementing that plan or at least discussing that plan with the, with the chinese presidents. recently, china was a success, you know, brokering the deal between saudi arabia and iran to reestablish bad diploma
1:14 pm
correlations. now, china can appear in the eyes of the world community as a piece. keep on trying to guarantee that russia will not use weapons of mass destruction, which is also quite important. and generally speaking, experts say that china has more options, a be negotiating, negotiating table these days, especially after the war began. trying to position has actually increased, has strengthened, have become stronger due to the political and economic confrontation between russia and the west. now and over to present the rest war and makes him well more vulnerable, even weak, if you will, in the eyes of international community. and he and she and pin can even be more, you know, beneficial. and now because that we could pay today is the isa it will be to get hold beijing, once from him, will leave you this up of alova. thanks for joining us from moscow. let's cross over to correspond katrina, you join us from beijing. obviously
1:15 pm
a lot to think about and a lot to discuss for sheeting ping as he arrives in moscow. but what do you think he is hoping to achieve? well, from a public relations point of view, she didn't think says that this isn't mission of friendship and peace, but we do have to remember that there is a lot at stake when it comes to china's own interest. as we just heard that, that she didn't think is looking to promote china's economic ties of moscow. trade with the country thought since the invasion began by about 30 percent, it's not worth $190000000000.00 and a lot of that is cheap. oil and gas at aging is able to get now that russia russians will, experts, europe have declined. secondly, she thing is looking to really shore up support from, by me approaches at a time when china is facing rising tensions with the lighted states and its allies
1:16 pm
. want to make sure that most firmly in the corner of aging, when it comes to trying to these on the international stage and disagreement over possibly taiwan and the south china sea. and to that effect, trying to need russia to be strong no matter where this ukraine crisis goes, it does not serve bay, didn't have a weakened russia or a weekend polluted. so another goal, i think that she just thing has going over that is somehow legitimize rushes war effort and guys of the international community. and this is not a huge surprise. we have heard that says that russia security concerns when it comes to ukraine, all valid thinking has not, of course, condemned the invasion and doesn't even call that an invasion to carry the same language as russia they need you think that this is a special military operation and lawfully, they can also wants to go over that and put itself forward as a global lead, as a promoter of piece of the possible mediator in this conflict between ukraine and russia. now whether it can be successful for that, and that's another question. aging certainly has
1:17 pm
a lot more obstacles when it comes to brokering peace between these 2 slides that it possibly did between saudi arabia and iran. of course, europe and the us back ukraine militarily, as well as financially and bacon has keep in mind that it's important to maintain its relationships, not only with russia, but also with europe. so there's not too much in terms of how far beijing can move here. but at the end of the day, it will at least be able to say that this is aging, acting as what it says, is a neutral party, being impartial. and it's emphasizing tv international community. we can do one thing that the us cannot do, and that is speak both to moscow and to kiss. continue that for us in beijing. thank you. now the relationship between moscow invasion has taken on greater significance since russia invaded ukraine. trade reached a record $190000000000.00 loss trip. that's the increase of around 30 percent from 2021. and in particular, russian energy exports to china have risen binary 25 percent since the outbreak of
1:18 pm
the conflict with russia. now, china's largest oil supplier, military cooperation is also deepened in recent months. china has more than 2000 soldiers to russia for drills and dispatch war planes for joint patrols over the sea of japan and the east china c. z. the any is electra in war studies at king's college in london enjoys us now from the british capital. good talking about this on the program is delaney. just begin with the fact that president she arrives in moscow fresh from being ratified for a 3rd term as president of china, and securing that diplomatic piece deal between saudi arabia and iran. do you think he has fresh ideas that russia will want to listen to? and that could well be accepted by ukraine's certainly she's in being at the moment is very thorough. after the confirmation or, and also the broker between saudi arabia and the ram is a big deal because for the china, a global responsibility on
1:19 pm
a very controversial issues. but that's just agreement. we have seen senior agreement failing the boss, the form come to your grade and in russia, this is very high space for holding. so china here is less leverage. and those as we hear from your boss, is adjustable. you are in there is also the rest of the west in the u. s. the, you and china actually has been trying to convince clothing to stop the war since the beginning of the chinese very disappointed about the war. but yes, i see. yes. so it is very uncertain. well, the 2 leads of the we'll talk about that friendship and close ties will be a great photo opportunity. i'm sure. but how close can she really get sort of knowing in the back of his mind that doing business with a man who has an i c. c warrant issued against him? may well anger countries at china does business with?
1:20 pm
that's absolutely true. but as eric kissinger one say, we tend to overestimate the model, the, the national community, which is much smaller than we think. and also the, the c. c is backed by many countries that come from people who are the band is economically from, from china. so john has a lot of leverage in these countries anyway. and channels already using a tool. so what among counties? in fact, china say that the ruling of international codes and these novel standards. so you can see that a play. but in these 2 articles are written over the weekend, bye bye bye. both putin and by she in their respective newspapers, in each other's country. they say, and i want to quote, china and russia suddenly committed to safeguarding the un centered international
1:21 pm
system. the international order underpinned by international law and the basic norms of international relations. yet the un secretary general has been scathing about russia's invasion of ukraine, calling it a massive violation of human rights, a breaking the un charter. that's a lot 20 times clarified between she and putin when they talk behind closed doors. i think he's the social rhetoric that he's meant to undermine the u. s. land. uniform. and so we need to try to differentiate between the un us back institution. and then you have permission to do the present the national civil southern conference. but anyway, i mean there is a little your own, the argument on the chinese arguments because china owned the one in the lower situations,
1:22 pm
which is perfect for this all the countries. fine. but then in other, hillary's development there for you, with a foreign policy over the counters. and so china is kind of working on a role here. when it comes to the conference meeting, ration you agree, and essentially have to be resolved. really, it'll be interesting to see what the joint press conference has to say for itself when it happens is xena leoni from kings college and not the thanks for joining us . thank you. let's just take you to moscow airport was she doing ping has just arrived to begin his state visit. and he's being welcomed by local officials. he'll meet president tutoring around about 3 hours time. but obviously the pomp and pageantry given to ahead of states and what is important to russia. china as president, is evident. obviously he will be,
1:23 pm
especially the guard helping me to use officials from the chinese embassy within russia. and obviously placed russian officials and senior dignitaries that to welton him up the act will continue to follow a present chief visit to moscow in the coming hours forehead here all the al jazeera news, our including south africa, braces for mass protests against rolling pockets, corruption, and unemployment and it's for barcelona school. what could prove to be a decisive goal in the race to win to spanish hellish fleet type? ah, in kenya, police, in the capital, i robi, have fired tear gas demonstrators protesting against the rising cost of living and fuel shortages. these are life which is now from nairobi. some of the crowd have
1:24 pm
thrown rocks at the police. more than 20 people have been arrested including 2 opposition. m. p. 's opposition leader. reloading an hourly last last year's presidential election to william router, and he's called the kenyans to come out onto the streets and that's despite a ban on demonstrations. catherine sawyer has more from nairobi. security is very tight in and around the city we are on opposite area. obviously we've seen a lot of security forces here. people are not allowed to move outside of this area. we have seen t. gus that has been deployed. young men are throwing stones, the police, and now the end game of the protest is to go to the city center to go to the president's office and state how to lay that demand. what they're saying is that they're very frustrated by the whole of leaving inflation is very high. he talk
1:25 pm
about taxes, place us, our president had said we will see some change in 90 days. basic commodities will go down, but we are protesting because life has become so difficult. so the president has said no to subsidies like may's flower and fuel when the former president, who to kenyata was helping with that these projects have been called by rile. oh, dear god, the opposition to be done and he said that you will keep the pressure on into the government yield. and we have been talking to a lot of people who is saying that they are very frustrated. they are angry and you can see from their tone and you're all going and say that one of the things is that they see a very low tech government that even carrying all these expenses. yet on the other hand, the government is saying it doesn't have money highest. 7 possible,
1:26 pm
so it doesn't make sense to them. so that's the thing that they are going to keep on and feel that demand is met. i want to south africa's opposition parties. the economic freedom fighters is calling for a national shut down a bus protests. it says it wants the president to be removed and rolling power outages to end. the party is warning businesses to close or risk being looted. security has been tightened at government buildings and the army has been deployed from all of us that said across over 200 with tasa, who's in pretoria for us. and so her have people come out to the streets in the numbers that the opposition party would have liked ah, was happening moment, is people here until too late to little bit until the numbers did a bit began in the plan will be to my suit, present to her i'mma pushes office where they say they will did mind that he resigns the way to you right now for the leadership to write and tell them what to
1:27 pm
do. then the king day at the podium waiting for g s when it is a v event to speech. this protest is about the economy, the high cost of living, and also about the electricity crisis in some areas in our country, and pay for more than $2.00 without power. and people are frustrated. also, people want to know exactly what is going to happen in terms of the police and the army deployment. they been deployed all over the country to prevent the leaking of damage to properties. applicants are watching this, participate very closely. they don't want to remind of what happened in 2021, when a rides were caught in some parts of the country. hundreds of people were killed and not a property damage, but people are also wondering how big the student is going to be because it's a long weekend here in south africa. she's at the public holiday. so some people have taken monday, opened the corner and vacation. they could determine the numbers at the status. so what's be the response ready from the government to the issues that are being
1:28 pm
raised by south africans across the country to these issues? oh prison and sir i so has says that he's aware that so that is off the state and his government is trying to deal with all of these issues. he's the point of the countries have electricity minister and that person is me to tackle all these electricity problems that people are saying. you see it another ministry way public funds are going to be used for a ministry that they've been doing job in the 1st place. i that also said around because it came back me see the feel that these opposition supporters gathering here the all trying to we can be a day ahead of elections mix. yeah. and say to play by some parties to try and do that. so madison, it was actually saying that this shows has invited a political parties are divided into country. and it also shows that within the reading a and c poxy, they are divisions. and some people in is out and saying that they feel that some
1:29 pm
politicians in the ac are no longer working to to us the best interests of africans . it's more about their own personal homer, tulsa in pretoria. thank you. now the french government is facing 2 motions of no confidence over present mental macros, controversial pension reform bill protests have taken place each night since the bill was announced, they would raise the country's retirement age from 62 to 64. opposition to the bill has stiffened to since the government invoked a constitutional power that will allow it to pass without a vote in the national assembly islands, deputy prime minister announced on monday that a request has been submitted to parliament to be dissolved. that hope is away for the election commission to set a date for a national vote. within the next 6 weeks, the company is already well underway for an election that many se could be vital for restoring real democracy in the country. tony chang reports are from trump bery
1:30 pm
clear skies and smooth waters. it's been a relatively quiet period anti politics. but as those enjoying a sunny weekend on the beach. no. this could be the calm before the storm. a general election is now set for me who had mock up from lap. this is a very important election. now. it is a chance for us to get a new administration because people have been suffering. ha, ha, ha, ha, i will, folks are important because we are the peeper. we are part of this nation. so it's all right. the generals who've ruled thailand since the military coup, 9 years ago, may look like they have everything under control. a military appointed up a house and a constitution that they put in place both favor their parties. barbara, but the blame for poli managed pandemic. the rising cost of living has fallen on their shoulders. when a protest i tried to question the prime minister at a recent rally, she was hustled out of sight, but they still need boots,
1:31 pm
and the long arm of military control may no longer be enough. the system is gamed as rick. there's no doubt, however, ah, this election in 2003, 3, the 2023 lessons are, is still the most consequence, consequential or of elections in thailand's contemporary political history. and no one is wasting any time in getting their campaigns on the way the election date hasn't even been decided yet. and still a good. how's it? people are attending political rallies all over the country. ties williams a very good get back into the polling book. this early stage per ty, seems to be ahead in the race with opinion polls suggesting it might went up to 50 percent of the vote. part is aligned to ousted prime minister attacks, and shin was the one the popular vote every year since 2001. but they haven't been in power for nearly a decade. this year, the sion, what name is back on the ballot. his daughter is in running to prime minister. i
1:32 pm
mean, like we did. oh, do you think they allow you to you when? when you take now, are you when i, when we, we have with but tie politics is colorful and complicated and success at the bella books might not be enough. tony ching, out to 0, chambery, eastern time, also had hailed the news on climate change. takes a toll on peru, accessed wall. the rising ocean, temperatures were intense fine, floating among slides, and principal communities at its full red bulls, rivals are left wondering what to do next after the 2nd race. so below one sees of your favorites. ah
1:33 pm
hello, there are lots of spring weather to be enjoyed across europe as we start the week, particularly across western and eastern areas where temperatures are sitting high. we still got some wet patches that are bringing a threat of flooding to places like turkey. that area of low pressure, so breathing heavy, rain and wintery in windy conditions, as it moves its way east, though it is going to be improving for places like anchor the temperature picking up there. and we have got some warnings out, the thunderstorms across central parts of italy. they will skirt they way further east, across adriatic, moving into albania. by the time we get to choose they. but behind that, for places like spain and portugal bright skies with plenty of fun shine. now that's not the case for the north. west britain and the island of island temperature might be on the up here. we've got those rounds of rain rolling and bluster. we showers expected to move across to the low countries. some of those will be felt in denmark, and we've got more of a wintry blast coming in for norway,
1:34 pm
but it's an improving picture, at least in times of rain and wintery weather for finland. the baltic states, we did have some heavy rain move through latvia, and while that has cleared, we seen a drop in the temperature rica coming in at only 4 degrees celsius on tuesday. ah, water scarcity has become a major global issue. the and it's going to straight up and the supply is going straight down, turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit. just because it's life doesn't mean it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can't afford it? guy tell me it's water. al jazeera examines the social, financial, and environmental impact of war to privatization. you know, it's a full on al jazeera tension in the occupied. westbank is on the increase

1:36 pm
well managed more than 5 trillion dollars worth of assets, chinese peasantry, aging pain has just arrived in moscow for a 2 day visit. russian president vladimir putin has previously welcome what he called beijing's constructive role in trying to end the war in ukraine. and in kenya, police in the capital, i robi, have $510.00 gas demonstrators protesting against the rising cost of living of fuel shortages, more than $20.00 people have been arrested, including 2 opposition. and he's not been 20 years since us forces invaded iraq and captors held in the infamous abu ghraib prison. a still waiting for justice. they say the world has forgotten a torture and abuse to warn us as bringing a sob of java who's a lie for us in baghdad. and it does seem the 20 years on some issues still hold many across the country or some absolutely. so for our younger audiences, they might not even remember these images of heretic abuse,
1:37 pm
torture and deprivation that these people have to go through. and this is not a small number. tens of thousands of people were held at the grave prison. i've spoken to not just business, but also one of the former people who were you general who was demoted because of the abuse saga. and she went out to say that this is not the work of a few rogue elements, but this was essentially the dick that, that they were receiving from the, from their, from their bosses. this is something that hurt the person who took charge after her . how to direct line with the secretary of defense at that time, donald rumsfeld, and it is been a 20 years since these people have been seeking just as going to multiple courts having the ra abroad. but they seem to be going nowhere and the world, as you said, seem to be forgetting what their flight was. also important here is the right group, seeing that some of the tortured techniques that the us forces and their allies
1:38 pm
used in these prison have now been transferred to the iraqi security forces were used by groups like human rights watch of still carrying out some of these torture practices? here's a testimony of what we heard from a c a who was one of the prisoners with this infamous foot over her ill over his head. but i must warn you that this is very difficult to watch, and we are discretion is of advice. so it takes ali all his courage to recount what happened to him distressing memories of violence, abuse and cumulation in 2003, he was imprisoned for a year by us forces in the notorious every prison ali says he was among those who were tortured by their captors loft and photographed them to the thought of allah asunder. how they someone emily calhoun. i was standing on the box. it so strong,
1:39 pm
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. then i fell down of the carney, other than sammy, the brutality captured in these images shocked the world. i does show inmates naked and being degraded with some undergoing acts of sexual abuse. american guards are also seen pausing with decaying corpses hardly so our lack of pictures show less than one percent of the truth and what happened in the prisons. abu ghraib was one out of 75 sites, used as detention centers. 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 there meant to harm us by bringing the dog into the cell. here is
1:40 pm
