2:05 am
clearly no closer to a resolution of the problem than they were the day this broke out. to what extent is the conflict in? see john being fueled by forces beyond its borders? do you think the vast majority of it has an internal. ready issue, it really is a power struggle between the sudan armed forces on the one hand, the rapids support forces on the other. there is some external involvement historically because of financial support or just plain moral support for one side or the other. the degree in which that is happening today, it was on clare. i think that anyone on the outside who were supporting one side or the other before this broke out one to rethink their, their policy on this. because all it would do at this point is to contribute to
2:06 am
a continuation of the conflict. and almost all outside countries agree that is not in their interest. when you talk about financial involvement, you're referring to countries like saudi arabia in the u. a. what role can they play in bringing an end to this conflicts? well 1st they can ensure that they. ready don't provide any financial assistance to any or they can can the parties they can also look at. ready ways to put financial pressure on the can getting party is based on whatever foreign direct investment they have in their country or whatever other financial connections they might have in order to try to get to draw back from the ongoing, fighting and not applies to other countries. to not, not just the goal stage that many countries have a financial investment in them today. what do you see are the broader
2:07 am
geo political risks to the region if this fighting does indeed carry on, which is what it seems to be doing? well, the 1st concern, of course, is the amount of carrying and crisis. and i think you could argue that's already happening and, and sudan, and that's almost guaranteed to get worse. then the next question is the degree to which the monitoring and crisis extends to neighboring countries on the basis of refugee movements. for example, as far as any kind of military or political engagement by neighboring countries. i would be a little less concerned about that. i don't think the neighboring country see that there's in their interest at the moment. i don't roll it out. but i think they understand that if they get involved militarily or politically at this point, it's likely to create a problem for them. 9, even even the neighboring country is,

2:20 am
very good question. we are inside the colorado parties headquarters right now, where santiago pena is expected to come out at any moment to give his victory speech. we haven't heard yet. for a minute, i knew he was supposed to presumably concede defeat a few minutes ago, but so far he has not spoken. i've asked a lot of people that very same question, especially since the polls had indicated that they were reading as you say, neck and neck. but there is a long, long tradition of 75 year tradition of voting for the colorado party. and people i've spoken to have told me that more than whether the pot or router party is good or bad. it is a party and they have grown up with all their lives and that they are hoping that some devil pena will rectify some of the mistakes, some of the errors they call it that have taken place. and that, of course, is also a reference to the widespread allegations of corruption, and that the former president and the current vice president who been accused by
2:21 am
the united states of having leaks to drug trafficking. that those were to mistakes, as they call them, will be taken into account. it will not go without being punished. but still, they believe that the colorado party, which a of the companies of the economy and also the public servants in this country and seem to convince, most high reliance, these 80 percent of the votes of now come through. and penya is winning by a very, very handsome percentage, that they are still capable of turning the upon me around, maintaining the control of the political and the political power. and let's say a taiwan has been an issue in this election. can you explain why a reason why taiwan came up is a para, why is the only country left in south america that still recognizes taiwan instead
2:22 am
of the republic of china? i some double been whether he would continue to recognize taiwan as opposed to his opponent, to what said that he would consider opening up relations with china. and he said that he would, because among other things, he's hoping he's an economist, that carol, why can get out of what he calls under development. why becoming a more industrialized country and he feels that taiwan would give a better chance a better deal to the power of why and industry fledging industry at that that and of that mainland china. so that was, it was a big issue during the campaign. now it seems that certainly listening to, to mr. penya that this party will continue to recognize taiwan rather than china. okay, good. just been to lawson american correspond alysia niemen, speaking to us that keepers government has council the nation's biggest annual events, mondays made
2:23 am
a parade because of an acute fuel shortage. long keys at petrol stations have seen that some drivers wait for days to fill their tanks. now the government usually provides buses to transport hundreds of thousands of people from across the island to attend the parade. a combination of us sanctions and reduce fuel supplies from cuba is alive and as weather is causing the shortages. us regulate as a rushing to find a rescuer to buy the troubled 1st republic bank before asian markets open on monday, several major financial institutions have reportedly been asked to make bids. first republic shows plunged last week off to reveal that customers had withdrawn $100000000000.00 in deposits since march. i was them on the silicon valley bank and signature buying collapse, causing fears of a wide market fall out. let's go to alan fisher, who's across the story for us in washington d. c. l. so talk us through what's going on here,
2:24 am
and are there any bags which are likely to come through? well potentially you're looking at the 2nd biggest bang failure in american history . the if you go back to march, you remember the silicon valley bank and signature bank run into financial trouble . well suited 1st republic at that point. but they were billed out by other banks to put money in to cover their deposits. now here in the united states, if you invest money in a bank, up to $250000.00 is covered by the regulator, the f d i c. and the so if you invest more than that, and the bank goes bust, you'll lose that money. when people had that 1st republic was having issues, there was big investors started taking money out of the bank. no banks don't keep all their money in the vaults. ready to hand though it's invested elsewhere and if they can't cover people asking for their money back, that's what's known as a run on the bank. and so now the f d i see and government regulators are hoping to find
2:25 am
a buyer for 1st republic that looking at people like bank of america, g, p, morgan chase and also p and c, which is based in pittsburgh. the idea would be that they would just buy everything, lock, stock, and barrel. and that would help sure. up at any concerns there, where about the banking sector in the united states, but not all parts of the business are profitable. and so what might happen is that these start to auction or various parts, trying to get as much money as they can, and the bits that don't make money will then be taken over by government regulators . what that will do is sure up support for the banking industry and make sure there isn't contagion that people don't get worried. but there will be questions about why there is a thought bank in trouble in such a short period of time. and whether or not banking regulations in the united states have to be looked at again. ok, thank you for that. alan fish are there for us live in washington. diesel. people in us becca stone have been voting on sweeping constitutional amendments. that
