3:10 am
announcement following parliamentarians meeting online for the 1st time despite the freezing of parliament 8 months ago. now they voted against his exceptional measures, which had given him sweeping powers since july. now i should alyssa, unfortunately, we are witnessing a coup attempt, but it is a failed one. the national duty requires to day the protection of all the people and the homeland, based on the articles of the constitution. the president is the head of state, the symbol of its unity and the guarantor of its independence and continuity, and based on chat to 72 of the constitution. i announced today at this historical moment such the dissolution of the representative council to protect the state and its institution and to protect the changes in people. william laurence is a former diplomat and co author of after the uprising political transition in tennessee, olivia and yemen chosen from washington dc via
3:11 am
d. c. via skype. mr. law is always nice to have you on the program. thanks for your time. you got the impression that the president chi saeed is surrounded by enemies, and he feels that it's his job and his job alone to defend the constitution. and to tell the tune, is he in people what's right or wrong? well 1st like a roundabout, almost no one. he lost his most of his advisors who came from back background. he lost his chief advisor a couple of months ago and she was purged. and his inner circle is very small. some of its just family members and of course the loyal army, but he kind of isolated in many ways a couple of days ago, he said the parliament can't meet them if they do want to meet they can meet in the spaceship. you know, these are not comments by someone who is completely in this world, i would say operating in reality he's, he's begun to show some said we can,
3:12 am
are you surprised by how incense he was by this symbolic meeting of opposition figures and the symbolic vote. the criticized his handling of governance and law are not surprised at all. he misused article 80 in the summer. he misuse article 72 today and the constitutional lawyer he should know cut position better than he does, but it's all about just protecting himself in one man and rule and lashing out of the opposition. today. he also not only shut down the room, but he shut down other apps that could be used for a meeting, and he shut down the whole internet in the area monthly year and downtown tune. it's all an attempt to scuttle that parliamentary meeting, which you said was symbolic, except that they were going to volley vote down all the unilateral decrees. he put forward in the last 8 months. so it's in that sense, it's not just symbolic, and he felt threatened and then tried to get them arrested. the prosecutor general said, i want to rest them. i have no evidence. and now he's saying ok parliament finished
3:13 am
. but this is, these are the acts as someone who is lashing out at anyone. he considers a political opposition. he doesn't want to dialogue with those that don't agree with them. i mean, exceptional measures to protect the constitution and the country from those who would destroy it. so besides the m p 's that he's lum bastard today, is he talking about anybody else? he tell you what everybody has been firing mayor, he's going up to the press. he's dragging civil society activists in front of the military court. i mean, it is anybody's fair game. i was just talking to journalist today, talking about getting a protective gear because they don't know what's going to happen next. this, they're going to be violence. and the military is reluctantly going on to the degree. but the police are with them to some degree because they were just happy to see mad that purged and the parliament that led closed by the pharmacists by a party. so, you know, here we are. no one knows what's going to happen next. and the economic statistics
3:14 am
for the chinese yard is more their credit rating just dropped to ccc would fetch, they're about to default on their loans. we have a ukraine affected the food crisis, the hit you can't find semolina on the shelves right before ramadan. and we prices are up 10 times normal prices. things are bad and getting worse, and i suspect that coming instability and turbulence, it's going to be people angry about the economy even more than those angry about politics. and that's why i was going to come to ready because obviously the public were angry when he took over last july. and as you say, the military, the police, a standing on the sidelines just watching right now. what is going to be the tipping point? is it going to be the economy and how soon do you think people may realize that you know what we have as a reality here to this year isn't exactly what we were hoping for. they might come out onto the streets again. it's coming. so we've gone from about 20 percent of
3:15 am
tunisians, believing last july was a crew to close to 70 percent now and finish pulling. and that's just those willing to answer honestly to a pollster and increasingly clamped down upon media environment. and, and people are really economic gibbs that are, as they were last july and things are just about to get much, much worse. not only do we have the same problems of the food crisis and energy crisis and inflation that everyone's feeling. but tunisia is getting worse, they had 80 percent of their weak coming from russia and ukraine. they're about to default on that. tunisia can't even unload ships in the port because they don't have the money to pay the port workers. so the economic crisis is getting rapidly worse. the i am isn't going to give them enough. european union is going to get done by the 3rd of what they need. but the economic crisis was about to turn a lot more people out in the street. and they will be unhappy for his economic mismanagement, and this is a lawyer who never really learned economics in any proper way. it's always good to
3:16 am

3:17 am
days to come and we've got heat wave warnings and advisories out for northern western and central parts of india were likely to see the mercury rise up into the early forty's. now a severe heat wave has been declared in new delhi for at least the next 2 days is hot and dry conditions persisting through the end of this month. we could see a challenge to the march temperature and the start of the new month. we'll see those temperatures continue to rise. now further south, it is hot and why we're seeing if you see a few showers creep into coastal areas in corolla, and it is going to be wetter and she'll anchor in the days to come. but for much of the unsettled weather, we have to look that northeast corner of india. we're going to see some of that rain creep into bangladesh, heavier for fun, epaul amber town. we could see some flooding here. we could see some flooding across central areas of china. thanks to this weather front, that's bringing pulses of rain towards the east coast. we'll see that wet and windy weather sweep through japan. by friday,
