thanks to the quick action of my administration over the past few days americans can have confidence that the banking system is safe. your deposits will be there when you need them. small businesses across the country that have deposit accounts at these banks can breathe easier knowing they will be able to pay their workers and pay their bills. and their hard—working employees can breathe easier as well. last week when we learned of the problems at the banks and the impact they could have on jobs and small businesses and the banking system overall, i instructed my team to act quickly to protect these interests. they've done that. on friday, the government regulator in charge, the fdic, took control of silicon valley bank's assets and over the weekend took control of signature bank's assets. treasury secretary yellen and the team of banking regulators have taken action. junior doctors in england begin three days of strike action — in their dispute over pay and conditions.

the oscar goes to everything everywhere all at once. and at the academy awards, one film wins almost everything all at once, including best actress. good afternoon and welcome. gary lineker will be back on match of the day this weekend — after he and the bbc resolved a row over what he says on social media. the corporation's editorial guidelines — until a new independent review of those guidelines is complete.

ina in a statement the director—general tim davie apologised for the disruption caused one of bbc presenters refused to present the weekend football coverage. mr lineker said he was delighted to get back to presenting and thanked his colleagues at bbc sport for backing him. helena wilkinson has the latest. good morning, gary! how do you feel about being reinstated? gary lineker leaving his home this morning after the bbc said he be returning to match of the day, after days of chaos at the corporation, with sports programmes at the weekend disrupted, a resolution announced by the bbc�*s director—general. asking gary to step back off—air was, i think, a significant thing, and now we look forward with this agreement, moving forward, to resolve things and get back to business as usual. many criticise the decision to originally suspend gary lineker, but tim davie said he'd done the right thing.

i think i've acted in the right way through this, it's always been difficult, as everyone has been saying on this affair, there's been no easy answers, it's been tough to get the balance right, but asking gary lineker to step aside, i think, was appropriate at that moment. then we reset, and we do the things we've laid out in this agreement, which i think are right, and we go forward. posting on social media, gary lineker said he was delighted that they'd navigated a way through this. he described the bbc as the best and fairest broadcaster in the world, adding that he can't wait to get back in the match of the day chair on saturday. and in a final thought, he said, however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn't compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. he added, it's heart—warming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. the stand—off between the bbc and gary lineker kicked off on tuesday.

the presenter criticised the government on social media over its illegal migration bill, saying it was immeasurably cruel and the language was not dissimilar to that used by germany in the 1930s. the bbc concluded that mr lineker had breached social media guidelines on impartiality. on friday, he was suspended. now on bbc one, sorry we are not able to show our normal match of the day 2... it led to chaos, with other sports presenters refusing to work in solidarity. sports programmes on the bbc at the weekend were massively disrupted. as well as lifting gary lineker�*s suspension, the bbc says there will be a review led by an independent expert who's yet to be decided.

it'll look at social media guidance and focus on freelancers outside news and current affairs, like gary lineker. the bbc, says mr lineker, is in favour of such a review. the director—general was accused of bowing to political pressure when he suspended gary lineker — an accusation tim davie denies. i can tell you, anyone who knows me knows that, yes, 30 years ago, some political involvement, but absolutely not affected by pressure from one party or the other, that is not how we work, editorially, in the bbc. it is a convenient narrative, it is not true. and the impartiality guidelines would be equally applied in terms of being critical of the left or the right. the issue is getting involved in party political matters. the bbc will be relieved that their star presenter will be back on air this weekend after a chaotic week. until the review is concluded, though, the social media guidance in its current form remains in place.

helena wilkinson, bbc news. let's get some analysis on this. with me stewart purvis, former chief executive of itn news. we were talking about this yesterday while it was an ongoing situation but it appears to be in result and gary lineker will be back on air with his meditating, presenting duties on much of the day at the weekend at the bbc will launch an independent review into its social media guidelines. what you make of this outcome? it is interesting that in his statement tim davie accepts the root cause of this problem is what he calls the grey areas of the guidelines which he himself introduced back in 2020. so the auestion introduced back in 2020. so the question would _ introduced back in 2020. so the question would be, _ introduced back in 2020. so the question would be, was - introduced back in 2020. so the question would be, was it - introduced back in 2020. so the - question would be, was it necessary to suspend gary lineker with all the subsequent disruption to the channels in order to set up an inquiry? the answer is he could have perfectly easily set up this review which some of us were calling for, as you said, over the weekend, without the suspension, and it's the suspension which ignited the story rather than any initial tweet. let’s

rather than any initial tweet. let's talk about the _ rather than any initial tweet. let's talk about the review _ rather than any initial tweet. let's talk about the review for - rather than any initial tweet. let's talk about the review for a - rather than any initial tweet. let's talk about the review for a moment. what does it specifically need to be looking at now to draw a line and make it crystal clear for all presenters whether they are in use or present otherwise on the bbc? the eas a bit, or present otherwise on the bbc? tue easy a bit, this or present otherwise on the bbc? tte easy a bit, this sound or present otherwise on the bbc? ttj: easy a bit, this sound surprising, is actually what is due impartiality, a requirement on the bbc. there is custom and practice, it sort of case law of interpreting that. i think the interesting issue, and probably the most interesting issueis and probably the most interesting issue is actually defining who falls into this category, this kind of special category which the bbc deemed that gary lineker had fallen into of people who are deemed to represent the bbc. so the kind of how famous do you have to be before the clause applies to you, and what happens when the clause does apply to you. is your contract renegotiated? are you going to be paid more money for it? i have some experience in this issue with other broadcasters and i have to admit that quite often it ends up with a fudge. the challenge for tim davie andindeed fudge. the challenge for tim davie and indeed for the bbc is can they end up with a resolution of this issue which doesn't have any more

fudge in it. issue which doesn't have any more fudge in it— fudge in it. when it comes to gary lineker, fudge in it. when it comes to gary lineker. no _ fudge in it. when it comes to gary lineker, no apology _ fudge in it. when it comes to gary lineker, no apology and _ fudge in it. when it comes to gary lineker, no apology and no - fudge in it. when it comes to gary | lineker, no apology and no further sanctions other than being pulled off air for sanctions other than being pulled off airfor one weekend. sanctions other than being pulled off air for one weekend. should there have been further sanctions and more of a punishment? do you think there will be those who were critical of the perhaps lack of action? , , ., , ., action? there will be people from the riaht, action? there will be people from the right. from — action? there will be people from the right, from government - the right, from government supporters, who will say tim davie marched up the hill but then back down and it is undeniable there is some truth in that. but there is a long—term issue here which is about how the impartiality rules going to apply to freelancers? i don't think apply to freelancers? i don't think a review, i'd welcome it because i'm one of the people who suggested it, i don't think it's as easy as some people might think. my view is that the long—term trend will be towards freedom of expression and that this review will probably have to take account of that. we review will probably have to take account of that.— review will probably have to take account of that. ~ ~ ., ., ., , account of that. we know that others have criticised _ account of that. we know that others have criticised this, _ account of that. we know that others have criticised this, and _ account of that. we know that others have criticised this, and one - account of that. we know that others have criticised this, and one of- have criticised this, and one of thoseis have criticised this, and one of those is the former head of downing street communications craig oliver who is also a bbc news executive some years ago. he has called this a

spoke to him? that is a possible event that happened. tim spoke to him? that is a possible event that happened.— spoke to him? that is a possible event that happened. tim davie has aaain event that happened. tim davie has again insisted _ event that happened. tim davie has again insisted he _ event that happened. tim davie has again insisted he doesn't _ event that happened. tim davie has again insisted he doesn't bow- event that happened. tim davie has again insisted he doesn't bow to - again insisted he doesn't bow to political pressure from any political pressure from any political party. what questions, though, does it raise about the links between the government and the director—general, and any pressure they may come under. this is historic, this has been of parties of all political persuasions. tt it of all political persuasions. if it was not of all political persuasions. tt t was not necessary to suspend gary lineker in order to get a resolution, why was he suspended? was that a reaction to criticism from government? were there people in government who thought that actually inflating this argument through the suspension of gary lineker would be a good thing for the general because of their policy on asylum seekers? they seem to have backed off. certainly the prime minister if he ever thought that backed off from it over the weekend but some people will still see this as another way of getting to the bbc. there were people from the right from jacob rees—mogg, for instance, saying this threatens the future of the licence fee, is an

opportunity to get rid of the licence fee. the long—term future of the bbc is inevitably bound up with this single issue. tqm. the bbc is inevitably bound up with this single issue.— this single issue. 0k, interesting to net this single issue. 0k, interesting to get your _ this single issue. 0k, interesting to get your analysis. _ this single issue. 0k, interesting to get your analysis. thank - this single issue. 0k, interesting to get your analysis. thank you. | to get your analysis. thank you. president biden said americans should rest assured the us banking system remained safe after the failure of the california —based silicon valley bank in a televised address from the white house. mr biden said he does ministration had acted to ensure that silicon valley bank customers would be able to get all of their money out. he said he would do whatever was needed to maintain stability. earlier the british multinational hsbc agreed to by the uk arm of silicon valley bank forjust over $1. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. an unexpected crisis. a hurried solution and the owners of businesses like this one are breathing a sigh of relief. universal quantum is trying to develop the revolutionary new generation of supercomputers. like many small tech firms, it's a customer of the uk

arm of american lender silicon valley bank, which collapsed last week. boss sebastian weidt says he feared his money would be lost for good. we have a lot of our capital with svb, and obviously when the news broke that — well, we heard on the grapevine that svb may be in trouble, we obviously tried to get our funds out as quickly as possible. that was unsuccessful, so over the weekend we really had to scramble to put mitigating strategies in place, to survive as a company. for the government, this crisis came out of the blue. the sudden collapse of a bank in the united states left thousands of british technology businesses facing potential oblivion. a solution had to be found and it had to be found quickly. now th ebanking giant hsbc has stepped in. it's buying svb's uk business for £1, ensuring its customers can access their money and avoiding the need for any kind of taxpayer—funded rescue. we were faced with a situation where we could have seen some of our most important companies, our most strategic companies, wiped out, and that would have been

extremely dangerous, and that is why the prime minister, i, the bank of england, were all rolling our sleeves up over the weekend to make sure we had a solution. the government insists the collapse of svb did not pose a wider risk to the uk's financial sector. but some analysts believe it should be taken as a warning. the government generally and regulators have had a good weekend, in actually avoiding a crisis, but the irony is thatjust at the moment when the government is thinking of slackening off the regulations of the financial services industry, this incident happens and it's a powerful reminder that it's a very dangerous industry that can cause damage to a whole economy if it is not controlled properly. the effects of the sudden and dramatic svb collapse are still being felt in financial centres around the world. shares in many major banks have fallen because investors are still wondering whether any other unpleasant surprises lie round the corner. theo leggett, bbc news.

president biden has said americans should rest assured that the us banking system remains safe, after the failure of the california—based silicon valley bank. michelle fleury is in york. have president biden�*s comments reassure the markets? the timing of his comments were fascinating because he came out and spoke before us financial markets began their trading day, and the actions of regulators over the weekend again were timed before the start of the trading week in asia. all of this was to try and bring some stability to financial markets, to reassure them that the banking sector was safe. and we have seen, i'm just looking right now, the markets have been pretty mixed at the moment. so to some degree there has been a bit of confidence restored. certainly in the case of silicon valley bank, for example, they have guaranteed all

deposits, even the uninsured deposits, even the uninsured deposits will be covered, another was most of the people who have money in excess of $250,000 in their account, will still be able to access it. but the broader problem you have right now is that many people are sort of scouring the banking sector wondering who else is vulnerable. it has affected a bank called first republic which has seen its share price tank more than 60% so there are still plenty ofjitters around. studio: thank you for the update, michelle. let's go to the war in ukraine — and the city of mariupol, which russia has now occupied for ten months. it's not clear how many people have been killed or are still missing. the un estimates that 90% of residential buildings are damaged or destroyed, and 350,000 people have been forced to leave their homes. well, russian state media says

the city is now being rebuilt. while the bbc filming crews cannot access mariupol to verify it independently, my colleague vitaliy shevchenko from the bbc monitoring talked to the locals on the condition of anonymity. what have they been saying? they painted a picture of a massively expensive campaign to rebuild the city. expensive campaign to rebuild the ci . �* . , ., expensive campaign to rebuild the city. and also assimilate it into russia. city. and also assimilate it into russia- 50 _ city. and also assimilate it into russia. so certain _ city. and also assimilate it into russia. so certain comforts - city. and also assimilate it into i russia. so certain comforts have begun to return to mariupol like electricity, running water, heating, buses, schools and hospitals. some of the people i spoke to seemed happy to have a degree of normality returned to their lives. and then i interviewed a prominent ukrainian commentator on all things donbas, he is from donetsk himself, and he said one thing that gets overlooked very

often is the idea that, well, it's actually russia itself that destroyed all those buildings. translation: if they destroyed ten hospitals, and they rebuilt one, - this isn't reconstruction. it's not something they can be thanked for. it's a war crime. when russia surrounded mariupol, prohibited the civilian population from living and bombed residential areas, it's not a matter of gratitude. it is a destruction of people in the city itself. you can be happy as much as you like about a school being rebuilt, but what do you do with the thousands of people russia has killed? you can't rebuild them. you can't bring them back. the russian media say they are rebuilding the city. do we know how true that is? tt rebuilding the city. do we know how true that is?—

true that is? it does seem to be true. true that is? it does seem to be true- we _ true that is? it does seem to be true. i've looked _ true that is? it does seem to be true. i've looked at _ true that is? it does seem to be true. i've looked at various - true. i've looked at various satellite pictures and videos and photographs emerging on social media, and also i've spoken to the people who are there. and it seems that the buildings which have been damaged beyond repair after months of fighting in mariupol, they are being pulled down and whole new districts are being built by the russian military in many cases within mariupol. the buildings that are salvageable they are replacing windows and radiators, and trolley buses and trams are not running yet but the buses are running. but what's also interesting is how russia is trying to pressure local residents into obtaining russian passports. for example, because russian state agencies are the biggest employer in town currently you really need to have a russian passport to find any form of formal

employment. also travel outside of mariupol or the donetsk region generally is much easier if you have a russian passport. and local pensioners believe that without russian passports and they will not be able to get pensions any more. another sign of how russia is trying to make mariupol its own is that the ukrainian currency is not accepted any more, you really need to have russian roubles to buy anything. so it is a ruzza for and of the area. thank you, vitali. thousands ofjunior doctors in england have begun a three—day strike in a row over pay. their union, the british medical association, wants a 35% increase, arguing that qualified doctors could earn more working in a coffee shop. doctors say they've had a real terms pay cut of 26% in recent years. the health secretary steve barclay says their pay claim is unaffordable.

demands are unaffordable. there were last—minute attempts to try and resolve the strikes but the union has said that there was no credible offer on the table. so meanwhile other health unions have caused the strikes in england where they are participating in pay negotiations with the government and that continues this week. but for now this three—day strike byjunior doctors, the largest in nhs history, continues with widespread destruction for routine care and appointments seen as inevitable. katharine da costa there. the sci—fi epic, everything everywhere all at once was the big winner at the oscars with seven awards including best director and best picture. the film's star, michelle yeoh, was named best actress — making her the first woman from an asian background to claim the prize. brendan fraser won best actor for his role in the whale. but everything everywhere also scooped the two best supporting awards — including a first oscar forjamie lee curtis at the age of 64. here's our enterainment correspondent, lizo mzimba.

great night for all of the winners. that's it and i'll be back shortly. thanks for watching. hello. the transition from winter into spring can often be quite a roller—coaster ride. take, for example, newcastle throughout this week. it is a perfect indication of what i'm talking about. today mild and wet and windy but the cold air is set to return before the milder and wetter and windier weather winds out towards the end of the week. so basically no two day is the same. this frontal system is a dividing line between the milder air to the south and the cold air from the north but it is set to return as we go through the latter stages of today and into tomorrow. but for the rest of the afternoon we keep some sunny spells across central and southern england, a rash of showers, some heavy with some hail and thunder mixed in. and more of a

wintry mix in the colder air as we continue into the far north of scotland. windy as well, widespread gales across the country. but look at the difference with the south—westerly wind at this time of year it brings that milder field, temperatures above where they should be for the time of year. but in that northerly wind gusts in excess of 50 mph, temperature struggling, and it feels cold once again. that cold air will continue to push south as the frontal system clears. the rain sinks south and then we will see a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow but as the shower ease ice could be an issue first thing is we see temperatures really significantly colder than the nightjust passed. we are going to start off on tuesday with the showers, still to clear from the south. clear skies from behind, mind you, some sunshine into tuesday but it will be a cold day with the northerly wind, particularly on exposed coasts with a few scattered showers running through wales and northern england. temperature significantly down on what we have had today. those clear skies by day will continue through

the night, wednesday morning is going to be a bitterly cold start with a widespread frost. but we will have some sunshine to begin with on wednesday. clouding overfrom the west as we go through the afternoon. more rain to come in from the west. and as it bumps into that colder air for a time across northern ireland, north—west england, southern scotland it could to see more snow. once the front starts moving through the milder air pushes back, plenty of isobars on the charts, it turns wetter and windier towards the end of the week. so, yes, we will see some colder weather for the next couple of days, but mild, wet and windy from thursday onwards.

crisis averted, regulators step in to shore up the banking system after the collapse of silicon valley bank. but as markets remain volatile around the world, could it now lead to a rethink on interest rates? hello. this is world business report. i'm ben thompson. now we are going to start with that banking collapse that has horribly familiar reminders of the 2008 banking crisis. the collapse of silicon valley bank on friday has sent shock

waves around
