shares in banks fell sharply around the world on friday, when svb was shut down by regulators, following the biggest banking collapse for fifteen years. here's what us treasury secretary janet yellen had to say. whenever a bank, especially one like silicon valley bank with billions of dollars in deposits, fails, it's clearly a concern from the standpoint of depositors, many of which may be small businesses. they rely on access to their funds to be able 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. so will the announcement that all deposits would be recoverable be the end of the story? here's robert scott, a financial analyst based in washington. i think that there may be other banks that are getting into trouble — although, frankly, the measures announced by the treasury and the federal deposit insurance corporation, will protect most banks in the us. but i think that begs the larger question — what is causing this problem? it's really overly aggressive policies by the us central bank, the federal reserve. they've raised interest rates eight times over the past year

by over four percentage points and this has created the problems for the banks. janet yellen says us taxpayers will not be footing the bill for this. many people will be wondering who is footing the bill for this? well, the banks are charged a deposit insurance — there's a fund of, i think, roughly $100 billion that will be drawn on to cover any costs involved and, frankly, the fed itself can simply cover these losses out of its reserves. but this, again, begs the larger question — what is going to be the long—run cost of the fed policy? just last week, the chairman jerome powell threatened to raise rates even faster in the future. and this despite the fact that wage demands — wages in the us actually slowed significantly last month, to less than 3% on an annualised basis. when svb really started to flounder on friday,

it hit markets around the world. asian markets have already opened and the nikkei still down 1.4%. how long is it going to take before a confidence boost kind of hits the markets again? i would certainly expect markets to continue to sag but when they realise that — that this contagion has been contained, then i think that markets will recover. this is typical in financial markets to see this kind of bounce. again, the larger question is will the fed keep raising rates and when will that hit the economy? you have to remember the economy responds slowly to these rate increases and yet, the fed's been pounding the brakes for over a year now. president biden has said he's going to hold those responsible fully accountable for this. what does that mean? well, i think that's an interesting choice of words. it seems to suggest that the bankers themselves are the root of the problem whereas, in my view,

the fundamental cause of this bank failure is, in fact, the policies of the federal reserve. so, is he going to firejerome powell? is he going to begin to put more progressive members on the federal reserve? there's now several vacancies. he could appoint economists who are much more worried, for example, about the threat of unemployment that's going to hit black and brown and poor workers the hardest. robert scott. us financial analyst. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: he's the bbc�*s highest—paid presenter — we'll look at how gary lineker�*s row with the corporation could be resolved. today, we have closed the book on apartheid and that chapter. more than 3,000 subway passengers were affected. nausea, bleeding, headaches and a dimming of vision — all of this caused by

an apparently organised attack. the trophy itself was on the pedestal in the middle of the cabinet here. now, this was an international trophy, and we understand now that the search for it has become an international search. above all, this was a triumph for the christian democrats of the west, offering reunification as quickly as possible — and that's what the voters wanted. this is bbc news.

our top story — at the oscars, it's already been a good night for the superhero comedy everything everywhere all at once and the german film, all quiet on the western front — both films have won multiple awards. in the last few moments everything everywhere all at once as one another award for best director. 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. the aukus group was set up 18 months ago, named after australia, the uk and the us. its remit — to provide co—operation to counter any potential threats from china. on arrival in san diego, the british prime minister explained how the meeting there would make people safer. well, the government's first priority — my priority — is to keep our country safe and today, we're publishing our integrated review, which sets out our foreign policy and approach to security policy. and it's clear that the world has become more volatile, the threats to our security have increased, and that's why we're investing £5 billion more

in our world—beating armed forces over the next two years and increasing our defence spending to 2.5% of gdp, so we can continue to be a world leader when it comes to defence and keep our country safe. our correspondent will grant is in san diego for the meeting. prime minister rishi sunak has now arrived in california and the first order of business here in san diego is a bilateral meeting with his australian counterpart anthony albanese. now, the two men have a lot to discuss. neither of them was in power when this trilateral grouping with the united states was first established, yet they both have a lot to benefit from it. the idea is that a number of nuclear—propelled submarines will be sold to australia, built both here in the united states and in britain — a huge shot in the arm for the shipbuilding industry in the uk and here in the us. — and, of course, a massive support for australia's naval capabilities. why is all of this happening?

really because of a shared concern about china's expansionist ambitions in the south china seas, in terms of its role in the indo—pacific region more generally. beijing has criticised the group for what it calls "acting with a cold war mentality" and "undermining nuclear non—proliferation agreements". australia has been at pains to point out that the submarines will not be carrying nuclear weapons, will only be carrying conventional weapons, but some observers are worried about a sort of new cold war, about a sort of second arms race. saudi arabia's state—owned oil giant aramco has announced a record profit of $161.1 billion for 2022, helped by soaring energy prices and bigger volumes. emily brown reports.

aramco is the biggest company in market value and is the second largest in profits in the world. the saudi oil giant has announced a record profit of $16“ has announced a record profit of $161.1 billion, that's more than 46.5% rise compared to last year. it's the latest energy firm to report record profits. written�*s shall recently reported a $39.9 billion profit. this comes after energy prices spiked following russia's invasion of ukraine individual before every last year, critics have pointed aramco's impact on the climate crisis. amnesty international say it is shocking that the company should make this kind of profit through the sales of fossil fuels. of profit through the sales of fossilfuels. an ram grifo aramco says it is from higher volumes are sold and improved products for margins. the company ceo amin nasser said the company would not only

focus on expanding oil, gas and chemical production but also invest in new, lower carbon technologies. the prophet has allowed the state—controlled company to pay a dividend of $19.5 billion, mostly to the country's government. aramco's profits have drawn an outraged response from activists, particularly those warning about the ravages of climate change as saudi arabia continues to be the largest exporter of oil in the world. emily brown, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. 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. but 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. having formed 35 days ago, this is the longest tropical cyclone on record. ukraine and russia each say

hundreds of enemy troops have been killed in less than a week in fierce fighting near the eastern city of bakhmut. ukraine's president zelensky says more than 1,000 russian soldiers have died and at least another thousand have been badly wounded. jehovah's witnesses in the german city of hamburg, —— jehovah's witnesses in the german city of hamburg have cancelled all in—person services this weekend following the shooting at a meeting hall. seven people were killed in the attack on thursday. one member of the community who lost two friends told the bbc that it will take years to heal. the bbc�*sjenny hill reports. bereaved, bewildered, a city in mourning. these jehovah's witnesses told us they lost a relative in the shooting. what was once a place of worship, now a shrine to the dead. we pray together. we cry together. michael tells us he's barely slept since the attack — too busy supporting survivors, comforting the bereaved. two of his friends were killed.

it's hard to imagine that a group of people sitting together during an evening in their church, reading the bible, singing and praying together and then, all of a sudden, a scene of love is becoming a scene of hate and death. gunshots. the killer brought terror to this community. what makes it harder to bear — that he himself was once part of this congregation. detectives, who say he left on bad terms, reveal they were warned he had a gun, was mentally unstable, and had a hatred of organised religion. there is a community he knows, there is a community he was part of, so this is a community he obviously focused his hate on. he knew the premises. he knew the arrangements. he knew the parking lot. so, this is what he decided. were you warned, at all, that he might represent a danger? did anyone in the community have concerns that he might

present a danger? i'm not aware of that. for now, all services are cancelled, the community meeting online only. michael tells us there's a concern about so—called copycat attacks. amongst the grief, the incomprehension, there is perhaps one certainty. it will take years, they tell us, to heal. jenny hill, bbc news, hamburg. talks between the bbc and gary lineker are said to be "moving in the right direction" after a second day of scheduling disruption on tv and radio. bbc news understands there are hopes of a resolution soon but not all issues are "fully resolved" at this stage. presenters, pundits and commentators have pulled out of bbc football coverage in support of mr lineker, who was taken off air by the bbc for criticising government asylum plans. our media correspondent david sillito has more. reporter: 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 anything away but behind the scenes, talks have been going on to try to resolve a situation that has meant match of the day... cheering and applause. ..turned into this — no presenters, no commentary, just the sound of the match. 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're 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've aired �*em. 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. but i never think of

gary lineker and bbc together. i think of gary lineker separate from the bbc. he's freelance, he should be able to say what he wants. meanwhile, another programme that went out in reduced form was 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 that's now happening, is that we need to make sure we maintain that trust in the independence and the impartiality of the bbc. 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 got a much truncated version of match of the day — but walking into the bbc this morning, it's — it's — you know — for a place which is meant to be in complete crisis, 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 sillito, bbc news. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @richpreston. there is much more on the bbc news website, including our

live page from the oscars where you can get the latest action from a lady. —— from los angeles. see you next time. goodbye. 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, 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 300m. 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 north—westerly 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 four orfive degrees, but there'll be a north—westerly wind as well, which will make it feel even colder. 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 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 degrees. 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 milderfrom thursday, when we're more likely to get some rain.

this is bbc news, the headlines: jamie lee curtis has won the best supporting actress at the oscars, which are taking place in hollywood. all quiet on the western front has also done very well. the us government has announced a rescue plan to ensure all depositors in the failed silicon valley bank can retrieve their funds by the start of the working week. the treasury said the plan will ensure the resilience of the broader us banking system. the uk prime minister has flown to california to discuss defence and the potential threat from china. rishi sunak is due to meet the australian prime minister,
