u. s. got, and we here in the banking sector just recently. there is a significant amount of spring just today, a sizable bank in the top 20 in the west, his whole lives. silicon valley bar was taken over by the regulators. so where the structure is in place to help the u. s. economy. namely the banking system. that's where we also seem to have enormous breast. now that the story behind this is that, and the recent interest rate rise has created paper losses on banks on portfolios. that doesn't need to be appropriate to regulate. it doesn't want it to be a problem because the banks don't realize those losses. so i'm actually quite concerned why they're allowing this to be to become a problem. and sometimes regulators. they want to be tougher and they allow these things to be a problem is not good timing. so there's also problems in this area. a lot of moving parts there. unfortunately, we are going to have to leave the conversation right there, but professor richard warner. thank you so much for your time and insight. thanks very much. thank y

u. s. stocks got off to a negative start when markets opened. use new concerns about a european bank of following the u. s. government's intervention over the collapse of to financial institutions. invest as a now worried about credit suisse. it's shares fell 25 percent and early trading on wednesday. that's bringing costs on and kristin salumi, she's joining us from wall street and new york and renewed concerns about the banking sector question. what's caused credit suisse us? she has to full well, this latest decline and credit suisse is shares come after a report that its largest investor, the saudi arabia national bank, said that it wouldn't provide any more funding to credit suisse because it couldn't because of regulations. this comes after the swiss lender, which has a big presence here in the united states, said earlier this week that it was reviewing its financial statements over some possible issues in the last couple of years that has spooked investors and caused many of them to sell off their stocks and it has also prompted a new conc

u. s. has got to limited operations in that black sea area, and that any such operation would be regarded by russia as a provocation. so the debate, the discussion, the argument is continuing, despite the fact that the u. s. and indeed, the russians appeared to be trying to wretched down the argument over the incident that sparked off this whole debate. all right, mike kind of life was there in washington dc might thank you for landline reaper drone is one of the most advanced tools in the us military is asked no defense editor alex topple. it's explain the n 29 reaper is the world's 1st purpose built drone design for attack, as well as surveillance. it can stay up in the air for up to 14 hours. i can fly up to 15000 meters. it was 1st flown in combat in 2007, and has the capability to stay in survey, a specific target area, sending back vast amounts of information to pilots and analysts on the ground, sometimes half way around the world. what made the repay initially different from other drones, w

u. s. has got very little to play except that taiwan cocked. so it's the reality that we have to, to face and look at. but let's look at the, you know, the, the general picture of the competition as they call it, the between the us and china. this to our us, chinese. i think this is no longer a competition. this is not competition. competition is a fair competition. you need to play by fit rooms, right? but if you have plans like this to, to destroy a place like taiwan. this is most competition. but mr. one, i remember quite recent please terry ontario, and please sorry. well, i think the, the chinese foreign minister recently made a very interesting a good remarks during his press conference. actually when he said the u. s. is not playing by fair rooms in terms of competition. because this doesn't reflect the spirit of, in a athletic spirit, because if you're running against each other, we understand this is competition. but then if your objective is to create an obstacle behind the scenes to topple you, this is not competition. so that's why

u. b. s side looks like a pretty good deal. they've got lots of guarantees in place. they able to sue, have credit suisse for a pretty low price. so i would say for u. b. s shareholders, yes, it was like a very good deal. but for the credit suisse shareholders, it looks like a very bad deal. instead, a lot of the credit suisse trail that i think going be scratching the head saying wouldn't, we've been better office if they still have not gone through. it's not possible criticisms any worth about $3000000000.00 at the end of the day. it must be worth more than that to somebody anyway, so i think they're going to be saying this is a very bad deal indeed for us. okay, but i mean, looking at u b. s shareholders and yes, they got managed to get cheap price here, but they are being punished in the way because, you know, the bank has been years of discipline to work on trying to sustain and strengthen its financial health. and now shareholders having this failed competitor foisted upon them. well, certainly way of seeing it, i think u b s certainly has not had the time to go

u. s. and that's what's got the europeans that really worried here. you know, if you look at all the tech pat, assigned, filed in the world, about 9095 percent are between 2 company countries. the u. s. and china, europe's not even a player anymore. and tech. so you know what little they have there. they're worried about it, but you know, when you look at the economy, this and very serious situations in us, not just inflation and coming unemployment. we've been in a, in a recession, are pretty much stagnant, certain sectors in us, you know, we're limping along last year. and you any, gotta remember this, but what did he get in december to december g, d p growth in u. s. between 2120 to one percent growth after congress spend 3 trillion dollars in the federal reserve pump, 5 trillion dollars. trillions in trillion dollars stand was city of economy and we got a one percent growth rate. now don't tell me that's a good economy. this big trouble in the economy already are deficits $800000000000.00 in the 1st 5 months of the year is going to be a trillion an

u. s. and nato have got more directly involved since then, and hundreds of thousands of people have been killed since then since the u. s. and u. k. persuaded ukraine to say, as boris johnson put it to stop talking to putin and concentrate on defeating him. so as far as i can see, ah, that that basic, that basic, ah, framework for an agreement. nothing, nothing that went into that has really changed. and um, so i think far from being a frozen conflict the head, the really, really needs to be for the sake of the people of ukraine and the people of the whole world threatened with nuclear war. there needs to be a genuine resolution that both sides sit around the table and agree that they can live with not not lie. um, what uminski agreement that the west never intended to comply with. ah, but a genuine resolution that that takes everybody's um, genuine interests. well, that's that, that goes back to the very beginning and, and nicholas before i go to lionel here. so lensky wasn't persuaded. he was ordered . okay. i was told not to do that to you. ordering a sovereign country were told, ah, not to

u. s. defense funding is actually that of the private contractors. they're estimates the over the past year. independent recipients got more than half of washington's entire national security budget. of the u. s. inspect the journal and dentist on has warned that this could signal corruption between the government and that of the military industrial complex. you are bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the whole government, but also of us government contractures or other 3rd party contractors to try to feel the money. there is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track off. i'm not super optimistic that we're going to learn a lesson. i've been in washington since 92 and learning lessons is not in our dna in the united states. unfortunately, just remember, let's give you a comparison and take a look at how the cost for the ukraine war effort compared with those of other major conflicts that essentially waste by washington. so, spending on military a to key f as actually surpass the annual us funding of its previous war and got us on the u. s. is also estimated. have spent on your cred

u. s. pinged, you got? yeah, you went. brussels has also jumped on the bomb bandwagon. the, you know, i forbids the use of tech talk on official devices used by the blocks parliament commission on council legal on media analyst line all thinks the crocodile actually may do the opposite of what's intended and make the up or forbidden fruit. there are by possibly raising public interested you people think that tick tock is the only means by which you can get this information. that's number one. number 2, from a practical matter. how would, unless, let's go a step further, let's say the band is going to be across the board. is that even possible? and i would venture to say no, because what you're doing is your, 1st of all you're, you're creating this forbidden fruit aspect of it. so as soon as you tell young people in particular, and by the way, good luck telling a gen z or that this poses some kind of national security threat. but the moment that you tell them you can't do this. and this rather recalcitrant generation. good luck with that one. when you keep saying, china,

u b. s shareholders. and yes, they got managed to get a cheap price here, but they are being punished in the way because, you know, the bank has been years of discipline to work. i'm trying to sustain and strengthen its financial health. and now shareholders having this failed competitor foisted upon them. well, certainly way of seeing it, i think you've, yes, certainly has not had the time to go look through the entire credit suisse portfolio of transactions of loans, of all sorts of dubious things that they might have done. so you b as a sort of buying this site unseen. bear in mind, anybody had a weekend to go through this and agree to it. so you b. s. has been forced into this every bit as much as credit suisse as by the regulation, by the swiss government. so i think ordinarily when you do this kind of merger between 2 banks, you're going to take a couple months to go through and do your due diligence and make sure you feel comfortable with their risk management systems. with a loan portfolio with their investment ban

u. s. we've got some where to where the coming through here and it's cooling things down slightly. we have got the cool enough weather pushing a little further north with some snow. they're just around the, the great lakes. we got some snow spilling across the rockies. once again he stays unsettled. eric was a good part of california, and the flooding rains continued. ah ah, employee sees nose to move. oh gosh. i with nobody knows me. it makes me happy. makes me feel those i was with all breaking down the headlines till exposing the powers attempting to silence reporting. what did you do? what to investigate? why didn't you off the fact the question, there are many during that said, fencer it will have but you can get back on. but pick one story, the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered to suppress moderate. and in some cases amplify the content you feed on your part of the listening post on the al jazeera. ah ah hello norma matheson, this is news.

u. s. army i got told by to that they had to stop. they had to see this immediately because they used a fake x box controller. give away that when you clicked on it was actually a recruiting website. you said data my and information. oh, my god, people clicking on it. right. hm. and this was not the government saying you can't do that was a switch saying, hey, this goes against our guidelines based on, well, when would a corporation her? it was a corporation step of as a this is too far for us, right? that's what i, that's what i get really nervous. research suggest that players of violent videogames view, their opponents, ah, as less human. this is concerning to me. ah, because we consider that military video game plots are often constructed in ways that mirror real life conflicts around the globe. a 2016 study looking at a 1st person shooter video game, found that some of the most common enemies a multiple games. in fact, they study that some of the most common enemies were russian ultra nationalists. then latin american and middle

got the north stream pipelines. and that's not in the interest of a u. s. protexture it. and that's how we got the north stream pipelines destroyed as seen, workers came out with his studies of how about probably happened and indicates that the u. s. was involved, which doesn't really surprise anybody. you know, you have bite and going out there saying we're going to end it and we're almost out of time. but george, you know, sergeant schultz is we put referred to him on this boat and went to washington. what for like a day and a half, maybe less than that one hour visit with the president of the united states. no press coverage went back. so he was just giving his marching orders. wasn't he 30 seconds george marching out as well. that's the thing. europe's beliefs, he's not in any sense. representative of europe interest. it's an american bought and paid for trained lead and they represent openly, america's interest. yeah. well, you ended the program almost exactly on time. one thing we're going to be definitely looking at as of, as mentioned here, is that this reproach mo

u. s. we got some where to where the coming through here and it's cooling things down slightly. we have got to cool enough weather, pushing a little further north with some snow. they're just around the, the great lakes. we've got some snow spilling across the rockies. once again, it stays unsettled. there was a good part of california, and the flooding rains continue. ah, ah ah, ah . an app that sees for the blind and a robotic arm for the disabled. a young australian engineer is inventing tools to help people gain independence or side of that will put a really tall tracking i phone jack all the time so that people with the little vision would be able to recognize every day of jack women make science robo gals episode full on al jazeera. ah ah, look about kill watching. i was there was news are with me. so robin in dough hall, reminder of i'll talk new stories. greeks are protesting on the streets of the capital, athens at what they say, all the failings of the government following a trained collision that killed 57 people. that demand the action to 6 grease is neglected. railw

u. s . economy dependent on china. and by doing that, you've got a situation now where, where china could really supercede the u. s. which was then the economic powerhouse of the world really, and become the technological innovator manufacturer of pretty much everything in the world. now we still secret the some in the us, you know, politicians have described china as a threat. do you think they're given the no child is now leading role in many technological spheres that washington will make some efforts, trying could say literally slow it down with, with thing that already i think now on the wall why products being imported in the united states. they tried to put pressure on all of that partners specifically in europe to stop that as well. it's more of a veil in terms of trying to shut down in some way the chinese economy and trying to inhibit their export power. but obviously as we says, they can't inhibit their actual power too much because they're no one's going to get a washing machine shoot themselves in the fall. absolutely. now the u. s. ha

u. s. troops in iraq. so they've got to stay there. right, and it really, as i mean, we talk about these and less wars that the u. s. has championed, i guess you could say and they continue to act as if there is no version of blowback whatsoever. now. and the reality is that lord austin is just one of a number of foreign dignitaries who have visited iraq recently including our ron russia and saudi who have all sent their foreign ministers. why do you think that so many countries are suddenly interested in her rock? and is there a certain reality here where lord austin is going because he's worried about a rock getting to cosy with any other major player rather than the u. s. i think they're quite open about that. worry as well as to worry about the iraqi population wanted the u. s. troops out as well as a little bit worried about keeping u. s. troops in neighboring syria, which are, they're justified by the same mission as protecting civilization from isis or dash . and uh, there may be a debate and a vote in the u. s. congress, at leas

u. s personnel. they believe that drone was iranian. it made u. s forces quickly struck back targeting facilities used by iran's revolutionary guard, so, says u s officials say u. s officials this morning cnn got reaction from the white house. we don't seek a war with iran. we're not looking for an armed conflict with that country or another war in the region. we do seek to protect our mission in syria. all of this is unfolding as president biden is set to meet with the canadian prime minister justin trudeau. we are alive in ottawa. we're waiting to hear from the president himself. on this attack in syria. also just a few minutes ago. you can see him there in the back of him. that is trump attorney evan corcoran, arriving at a washington dc courthouse. he just entered the building. he is going to testify today before a grand jury in the mara lago classified documents probe and he will do so without the protection of attorney client privilege. first that we are getting new information about this deadly flare up of hostilities in syria overnight, president biden ordered retaliatory airstrikes after a drone attack killed a u. s contractor. five u. s. service members and another u. s contractor we

now we've got a u. s. agency saying, well, it probably was an accident in the lab. and the response i would have expected it to have been bigger than, than it has been. are you surprised at how muted it seems the response has been well 1st, thanks for having me back. i'm not surprised because the report basically said we can't rule out last week. and they didn't really say it is the last week, even from that agency report. and we've got many, many other experts and reports that are still pointing toward some type of transmission from animals in the so called wet markets. where people who might deal with exotic intervals. so it put the issue back on the table, but it's far from settle. is it an issue grounded in any type of medical facts or are we dealing with what we know is the case, many times politics here that is bleeding over into every other field. when we're talking about the united states and china, it's politics. look, china could help settle all of this if they would let a legitimate, independent international group in to do a thorough investigation. you m

u. s. demanded reforms, and the got, the ruling party says it has legislation in the works for all of these 12 issues. ah, there's, you know, this debate on whether it's good enough ultimately the decision is going to be made by the u member states. and this is going to be a kind of political decision. i think a lot of the member states, you know, they have their own takes on this. i think it's very difficult to to predicts. i think the u officials that you talk to say they wish that the ruling party would you know, give a little more evidence that they're really engaged in this and really wanted ah, but i also think that the risk of not giving them you membership, which could really kind of strengthen anti e u forces and e you skepticism here. i think you officials also recognize that and so are, are nervous. what about wednesday of saying no. what about this ain't i. e u feeling on last week pro russian protestors pulled down and set fire to an e flag outside of parliament into blue sea. and i'm wondering what's driving that sentiment and how many georgians really feel that way. yeah, i t

got a u. s. think. tell accused 40 fellows and twitter handles of working for one of india's biggest political party despite the list being packed with kinds of ordinary americans with 11 at night in djibouti, in manama and here in moscow. welcome to global news roundup. on the head of the private military company, the wagner group saves russian forces, have all but totally surrounded a key stronghold of ukrainian trips in a done yet republic city. he states the battle in archibald, also known as back moot is coming to a close. as there are not many ukrainian soldiers left to fight it, you go walk. the city is essentially surrounded. mood were as earlier, we were fighting against the professional ukrainian army. now we are seeing more and more elderly men and boys. they last just a day or 2 in the fighting. let them leave here safely and no guidance. while the ukrainian army has reportedly been destroying infrastructure and local villages in an attempt to stop the installment in archer most demolishing

u. s. s r , um and we've got to bear in mind. china's long term foreign policy aims.n it comes to russia. they share a very long border, a border that is not militarized at the moment because of the friendly relations, something that sitting pain doesn't have to think about on on his northern border. at the moment. china's also thinking about it. energy security. russia has huge natural resources include ding vast weights of natural gas. all of that, instead of going to europe right now is going to go to china. so we're talking about these pipelines that will be built connecting russia and china increasingly in the future , and china is also thinking about the geopolitical wide game going on at the moment, you know, why should china's support the west against russia when the west is increasingly hostile against china? so it's they're thinking about how to prop up the putin regime and make sure that it gets everything that it wants. from this supposed neutrality. it does seem like as you said, relations with the west and with the u. s have gotten particularly hostile a

so we've got our 11th atmospheric river slamming into the u. s. states have california and you know, for the southern sierra nevada, our average snow pack is about to just 300 percent above normal. so that gives you an indication of just how much precipitation we've seen. here's our nor'easter from maine to nasa to sits. i think for places like boston, it's going to dump about 20 to 40 centimeters of snow blizzard conditions here. and consider those winds about a 100 kilometers per hour. so that's just gonna toss that snow around and give white out conditions for the u. s. south. clear conditions, white wind, so that means during the overnight, the early hours, we've got flash freeze alerts in plate. i'd take you back to the west coast of canada through the northern plains. actually this swath of snow here, likely to generate about 5 to 10 centimeters of snow. remember that ne sir we were talking about is dropping down rain to the bahamas cuba right through the you could tab peninsula, but from mexico city to panama city. so can like a wet pitche

you know, we got russia involved in various scenarios, you've got the u. s. involved still, and turkey as well. so mean they have to deal with more than just a relationship between re at and a to run. absolutely. but again, let's go, let's look at the history of this because history is important than this, sir. and in this sense, when countries in the region agree amongst themselves and within countries of the region, sort of build on some sort of initiatives regarding 3rd parties. as a leopard on syria and others, the global powers tend to but out global powers have greater role in the region when they exploit the decisions among regional bowers among regional states. but when the regional powers and regional states don't allow their divisions to be exploited by foreign powers, whether they are europeans russians or make our chinese, then you will see that they are always able to impose or move forward in whatever planning they have. in a sense, you could say in our sort of um, theoretical way that geography is always more important than strategy than geo p

u. s. is position on israel has been as, as always been alienating to the gulf states and other arab countries. but now the u. s. i do think feels it's got to do something to stay in the game in the middle east and i think part of that is going to be to be more critical of israel. so you have the dynamics, you're shipping. yeah, yeah. just just quickly before that to go down to me that someone was saying to me in an interview in the past few days that, that the, the israeli leadership tends to get along pretty badly with a democrat leadership in washington. and they seem to get along better with, with republicans. how would you assess that? i think there's some truth to that, but let's face that they get along with both pretty darn well. israel's, the 3rd rails, we say of american politics. neither party has wanted to alienate israel. you know, it's a matter of degree, i suppose. but again, i do. so i do that, given that what i just said, i think it is significant that now the democrats seem to be willing to criticize because even the democrats have been really willing to do that. it is interesting because it's a human and labor rights l
