the lady ridgeway because they are demanding that proper medical supplies be provided for them. i did speak to a surgeon a short while ago and he said things like suturing materials which are vital for surgeries, are in short supply, forcing them to put off a number of routine procedures because there might be emergencies where they might need this material. there are things like honey as in newborns, and doctors are having their say to make critical decisions. and they are facing dilemmas because if they don't operate on a 2 day, it can become more serious in a few days. the children or the child might have been taken out of colombo, the parents would have to come with all the shortages. so that a critical issues. and this sort of sure, of protest by the medical community is just one of them. and that is something that is being a court around the country. a number of protests in 8 to 10 cities around the country where the mean towns have been blockaded because of fuel shortages. and

another massive increase in the price of fuel polls of clothes in the final round of east timor's presidential election. a shoot, newest nation has grappled with political instability in recent years. and the 2 ran off candidates blame each other, nobel laureate, jose aramis auto received 46 percent of votes in the 1st round is up against incumbent francisco gutierrez. the next leader will be sworn in on the 20th anniversary of east timor's independence in may. jessica washington is following developments from jakarta. we do expect counting to start at around 10, g. so in coming hours and that is expected to take around 3 days. we could of course, have an indication of who is in the lead, depending on the progress of counting in particular districts. as you noted in that 1st round of the elections, josie ramos horta put up a strong show and was able to secure a 46 percent of percent of the votes. of course,

it wasn't enough to secure him the presidency, but it does place him in a strong position for this run off. however, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that it will be. he will be victorious in his run all round. one of the challenges that his competitor francisco good terrorist faced in the 1st round with some fractures within his own party, which basically diluted his level of support for the 1st round. what remains to be seen now with this, ronald round, the final round of the elections is whether people who voted for those all the candidates will who they will end up supporting in this round that remains to be seen. and we've heard from both of the top to contend is that they do intend to engage in a dialogue and that they go with ultimately stability for team or less state. now, it is a team will say, use asia, the youngest democracy, but it has grappled with some concerns from young people in particular that it's

political system continues to be dominated by the old god. and, and the rivalry between the candidates and parties tend to take up more focus than the actual issues that impact the daily lives of the people. a team or less day said, i have an al jazeera family name linked to where the press is passed. but it's not slowing down the front runners to be the next president of the philippines and hacking at the highest levels of government, digital watchdog issues are willing to pay officials. ah hello, then let's look to southeast asian. it's a pretty quiet picture for much of the region. you can see the shower clouds bringing the usual mix of storms and showers,

as well as some sunny spell for the wet weather. we have to look to indo china for some shop of thunderstorms, around areas like thailand pushing into the malay peninsula. by the time we get into thursday, we'll see the rain pick up southern areas of indonesia with thunderstorms in jakarta. now, thunderstorms are going to pick up as well across northern areas of australia, some of the wet weather to be found in queensland far north. we could see some possible flooding here, but well, much of the country, it is a clear picture now that that system has skirted away from the southeast. we are going to see sunshine come back in for sydney, but it remains rather wet and wendy for tasmania. if we look at the 3 day for hobart, we are going to see the temperature dipped down as that cold front sweeps further east. but there will be some sunshine coming back by friday. now that isn't the case for new zealand, things are going to turn rather unsettled here. warnings out for western areas of the south island, we could see up to $200.00 millimeters of rainfall in western areas from when say into thursday. but for christ church, while we remain clear from the rain,

and it remains to be the darkest period. in recent philippine history, 64 year old baldwin is the only son of the dictator ferdinand market senior. he died in exile in hawaii after the revolution which toppled him in 1986. it may seem surprising to many now, but the marcus political resurgence didn't happen instantly. political observers say the marcus has have spent years using social media to rewrite history. oh, despite widespread outrage in 2017 president rodrigo dared to allowed his predecessor to be buried in the revered hero cemetery. in manila, many see the rehabilitation of the marcus image is nearly complete. miko simply wants to preserve his families in gotten worse and once got and bid. thus, he probably left things beyond bills,
