1:10 am
to pay the bills that they have, and they employ tens of thousands of people across the country. we've been hearing from those depositors and other concerned people this weekend. so let me say that i've been working all weekend with our banking regulators to design appropriate policies to address this situation. i can't really provide further details at this time, but what i do want to do is emphasise that the american banking system is really safe and well capitalised. it's resilient. that was janet yellen speaking earlier. with me is our business reporterjoao da silva.
1:11 am
great to get you on the programme. have you seen much of an impact on financial markets, particularly in asia? the markets are so far rather muted. the japanese nikkei is down i.5%, the australian asx is down for .i%. there are some lingering fears of contagion but i would say that for now no major swings in markets in the region. i major swings in markets in the re . ion. ., major swings in markets in the rerion. ~ , ., , ., region. i think it is a bit of a watch — region. i think it is a bit of a watch and _ region. i think it is a bit of a watch and wait - region. i think it is a bit of a watch and wait approach region. i think it is a bit of. a watch and wait approach for investors. we have had some comments from us regulators. give us a sense of what is at stake here, what a us officials concerned about? sesb stake here, what a us officials concerned about?— concerned about? svb focus mostly on — concerned about? svb focus mostly on tech _ concerned about? svb focus mostly on tech start-up, - concerned about? svb focus . mostly on tech start-up, small, mostly on tech start—up, small, medium size enterprise which without access to funds and deposits will not be able to pay their employees and that is
1:12 am
why us authorities moved in so decisively to rescue those deposits. ready on friday, the federal deposit insurance corporation had stepped in to secure deposits with 250,000 us dollars. but the thing is, the majority of deposits with svb were not insured and that is why the regulators and government had to step in. to give an idea of the sort of replications we would see if no action was taken, a petition to treasury secretary janet yellen by thousands of companies, founders, company ceo's said they could be 100,000 job losses if no action was taken. then again, there was a risk of contagion. nobody thought that larger banks were at risk but smaller banks, svb, there was a risk depositors could move their money to bigger banks so thatis their money to bigger banks so that is why authorities stepped

government has announced depositors can retrieve their funds from silicon valley bank tomorrow. the us government announces a rescue plan to ensure all depositors in the failed silicon valley bank can retrieve their funds at the start of the next working day. in the us, a 3—way summit gets underway in san diego on monday when president biden hosts the british and australian prime ministers, rishi sunak and anthony albanese. mr sunak spent some time speaking to journalists travelling with him on the flight to america. we understand he'll be concentrating on defence once the summit gets under way. the group was set up 18 months ago and is called aukus, made up of the initials from australia, the uk and the us. it's remit — to provide co—operation to counter any potential threats from china. our political editor, chris mason, was travelling with the prime minister. this is the second overseas trip up to his — to meet the french president on friday and 24—hour is, here french president on friday and 24—hour is, here we french president on friday and 24—hour is, here we are french president on friday and 24—hour is, here we are in washington, refuelling before
1:16 am
we head onto san diego in california, shortly after arriving the prime minister will meet his australian opposite number and a big focus welch b china, he talked to reporters on the flight over the atlantic and i asked him especially about china, and thatis especially about china, and that is why this defence alliance has come together the united states, uk and to increase the fingerprint of the allies in the indo—pacific region. the prime minister describing china as an epoque defining challenge to the global order and a regime as he puts it that is increasingly authoritarian at home and indeed assertive abroad. it might sound like strong language, it's not strong enough for some conservative in these. it details the next 24—hour is, before the prime minister dashes back to the uk for the budget.
1:17 am
the bbc�*s will grant is covering the meeting in san diego, and a short time ago he told me what we can expect to hear. it has been billed as the biggest trilateral agreement on defence technology, really since the end of the cold war, arguably since the end of the second world war, the idea australia will take three possibly more defence submarines, nuclear propelled submarines, nuclear propelled submarines, is a big, big step in terms of its obviously naval capabilities. those will benefit naval guards in the united states and in britain, multibillion—dollar deal, but of course you mentioned china there, you heard in chris's report they are deeply concerned about what this means from their perspective, pointing to what they have called a cold war mentality to
1:18 am
the members of the aukus group. when you talk to china, as you say, impossible to have a discussion about what's going on with aukus without looking at the role of china in all of this. what is the sense of how beijing might respond, given the fact in the past it has said it is very unhappy with this sort of trilateral organisation and some getting under way?— under way? that's right, ultimately _ under way? that's right, ultimately they - under way? that's right, ultimately they have - under way? that's right, - ultimately they have accused them of undermining international non—proliferation agreements, they have suggested it as a return to a cold war or not a retired into a cold war but the start of a new gold which is perhaps even more concerning. it's worth bearing in mind united states hasn't the information required for this sort of technology that australia would need to eventually build its own nuclear propelled submarines, something that it wants to do,
1:19 am
and it would be part of this agreement, we expect, with anyone except britain in 65 years, there is a kind of cold war echo to it all. washington has been at pains to stress to beijing this is in the case, they are not starting a new arms race, and australia for him china lest we forget is its most important trading partner has also stressed the submarines will not be carrying nuclear weapons but nevertheless there is ramping up nevertheless there is ramping up of when you see this kind of agreement being reached. i just agreement being reached. i 'ust want to focus i agreement being reached. i 'ust want to focus on i agreement being reached. i 'ust want to focus on the i agreement being reached. i 'ust want to focus on the british h want to focus on the british prime minister you now, rishi sunak, he's been talking about bolstering defence spending as well, hasn't he? he bolstering defence spending as well, hasn't he?— well, hasn't he? he has, there's— well, hasn't he? he has, there's going _ well, hasn't he? he has, there's going to - well, hasn't he? he has, there's going to be - well, hasn't he? he has, there's going to be a - well, hasn't he? he has, there's going to be a $5| there's going to be a $5 billion increase sorry £5 billion increase sorry £5 billion $6 billion increase in defence spending, part of an
1:20 am
integrated review as it's called. that comes as part of, on top of a $24 billion increase overfour on top of a $24 billion increase over four years, so there is an effort by this administration, this government in the uk to look at the current threats and update the military accordingly, to restock, replenish ammunition stocks among other things and included in the monies mentioned, as the cost that will be involved in providing those submarines to australia. well grant reporting on that story fast. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. state tv in mozambique says hundreds of people have been displaced by cyclone freddy which has struck the country for the second time in a month. however, with communications and electricity supplies cut, the number of casualties and the full extent of the damage is not clear. malawi is now feeling the effects of the cyclone. the italian coastguard
1:21 am
says about 30 migrants are missing and presumed drowned after the overcrowded boat they were on capsized during a rescue attempt by a cargo ship off libya. 17 people were rescued. ukraine and russia, are both claiming hundreds thousands of people in athens have been demonstrating about greece's worst—ever train disaster, in which 57 people died. the organisers say they want to make sure there's no cover—up of how two trains were allowed onto the same stretch of track before colliding near larissa last month. north korea says it has launched two strategic cruise missiles. the state news agency described it as a submarine launch from waters off the eastern coastal city of sinpo. the south korean military confirmed a missile launch on sunday morning and was still analysing the data. it's being seen as a show of force by pyongyang ahead ofjoint military exercises by the us and south korea due to get underway on monday.
1:22 am
the impact of sports broadcaster gary lineker�*s removal from the �*match of the day�* programme in the uk is continuing to affect the bbc�*s sports output. coverage of the women's super league, and sunday evenings, match of the day 2 programme, have been hit, because fellow presenters and commentators refuse to work, in support of the presenter. the bbc had forced gary lineker to step back from his duties, after he posted a tweet criticising the government's language on migrants. the british prime minister says the controversy is a matter for the bbc, but opposition mps have accused the corporation, of bowing to pressure from the conservatives to sanction the presenter. there are hopes of a deal between the bbc and mr lineker in the next 24 hours. our media correspondent david sillito has more. have you spoken to tim davie yet, mr lineker? i'm going to walk my dog and i'm going to do my shopping, so would you mind letting me do it on my own? gary lineker was today not giving
1:23 am
anything away, but behind the scenes, talks have been going on to try to resolve a situation that has meant match of the day turns into this. no presenters, no commentary — just the sound of the match and a shot of gary lineker in the stands. however, there is hope on both sides tonight that talks are moving in the right direction and a resolution may be in sight, but they are not quite there yet. there are still questions about his tweets, which described government policy on migrants as "immeasurably cruel," and the language being used "not dissimilar to that used by germany in the 30s." the bbc said it was a breach of impartiality rules, and outside old trafford today, there was a variety of views about the topic. that might be gary lineker�*s beliefs, but i don't think he should have aired them. freedom of speech, as far as i'm concerned, within reason, obviously, yeah. ijust think someone in that position, i don't think - they should be speaking out. i never think of gary lineker and bbc together. i think of gary lineker
1:24 am
separate from the bbc. he is freelance, he should be able to say what he wants. meanwhile, another programme that went out in reduced form, today's women's super league. and the disruption has also raised wider questions about tensions between the government and the bbc and the corporation's chairman, richard sharp, and an ongoing inquiry about disclosures about a loan guarantee to borisjohnson which he says he had no part in arranging. he is still in hisjob, gary lineker isn't able to present the football commentary. i think there is a sense of proportionality here. and while a group of conservative mps have called for action to be taken against gary lineker, the government was today saying this is a matter for the bbc to resolve. what needs to happen as a result of notjust the discussions about gary lineker but also about the chairman of the bbc, following the independent investigation now happening, is that we need to make sure we maintain that trust in the independence and impartiality of the bbc.
1:25 am
but while programmes dropping off the schedule is a sign all is not well at the bbc, one former bbc director—general feels it's not quite a crisis. we've lost a couple of sports programmes so far, which is obviously disappointing for match of the day fans who've got a much truncated version of match of the day, but walking into the bbc this morning, for a place which is meant to be in complete crisis, it is its usual rather boring, solid self. you'll get run over, be careful. however, after this weekend of disruption, there are signs both sides are moving towards a resolution. david silitto, bbc news. before we go i want to update on the latest news coming out of the oscars the academy award for make—up and styling went to

the well and best cinematography went to james friend for all quiet on the western front stop. that's all for now. more on the bbc website. hello there. the snow was melting on sunday, temperatures were widely in double figures, but that doesn't mean the cold weather has gone away because we've got warnings from the met office through monday and into tuesday for snow and ice across northern parts of the uk. and it's cold in the far north of scotland, temperatures close to freezing first thing in the morning. otherwise, it is a very mild start to monday. we may well have some early sunshine across eastern parts of england before we see a few showers, other parts of the uk, more cloud, showers or longer spells of rain, and the rain in scotland is going to be turning more to snow, particularly over the hills
1:27 am
as a northerly wind strengthens. it's going to be a windy day. we'll see gales developing in the north of scotland later and strong to gale force winds widely across england and wales, where we've still got temperatures in double figures on monday afternoon. but it's getting colder in northern ireland and particularly in scotland, and that rain undercut by that cold northerly wind will be turning to snow. more fresh snow, particularly over the hills, 5—10 centimetres above 300 metres, could be a bit of snowjust for a while at low levels too. and that mixture of rain, sleet and snow, mainly for the hills, will sweep down across england and wales after dark, clearing away by tuesday morning. and then we're all in a northwesterly wind, which will bring down colder air once again. and it will bring a mixture, really, of sunshine and scattered wintry showers. initially across scotland, northern ireland, they'll push down into england and wales, not much, though, arriving in southern england or south wales, and the afternoon may be drier in scotland and northern ireland. but it's colder, typical temperatures are going to be 4—5 celsius, but there'll be a northwesterly wind as well, which will make it feel even colder.
1:28 am
and those temperatures will fall very quickly overnight, as we see skies clear and the winds drop. wednesday morning will start with a widespread frost. temperatures in scotland could be about —8 celsius or so. and while it's a dry start, we'll see the cloud increasing during wednesday. rain coming in a little more quickly with some snow over hills in the north, particularly for scotland. still quite cold air, temperatures around 5—8 celsius. so over the week ahead, while we've seen some mild weather over the weekend, things are turning colder. we've got the risk of some snow and ice, but then things turn milder from thursday when we're more likely to get some rain.
