2:05 pm
quit said, following growing angry of the on a nation's economic crisis, and ongoing widespread protests. we can speak to a correspondent, michelle fernandez his life was in columbia. i mel prussia has been growing on the government. tell us more about what's happening so refined the lee after weeks and weeks of demands that the government and the roger boxes that's present gotta be roger box. and his brother or the prime minister, my and the roger boxer resign. we've had one of them. that's a prime minister handing over his resignation to the president and designing this has been a sort of been in the offing for a few days if not weeks now, where the president and the prime minister have been somewhat at loggerheads, trying to see which one blinks 1st, almost, and we've just heard that the prime minister obviously has given him his
2:06 pm
resignation. now there's been from this morning, there's been an outbreak of clashes and violence in an unprecedented manner. we had thousands of supporters of mind, roger boxer coming in to his official residence temporaries in colombo, you know, to sort of a show of force to demonstrate that he still has support. but unfortunately, where that went wrong is the very real belligerent lot. he, he addressed this gathering of a few 1000 people, and after that they came outside that official residence. they set upon a camp of anti government protesters who had set up outside the prime minister's residence, the assorted people, the set fire to their tents. they pulled down their banners and then they started walking towards the presidential secretary, which was down the road that secretary has been sort of besieged and surrounded for the last month by anti government protested. and the police,
2:07 pm
even though they tried to sort of mount a sort of a defense and prevent the people they just walked through the police. and that's why lot of people are critical. they're accusing the police of allowing these people to come into clashes with the anti government protesters at. gotta go village and they're completely bull doors. the village through the problem now is there is violence because people, as we have been reporting for weeks and weeks have come to the end of their tolerance. so this show of force is not being taken likely lightly as much as people kind of bulldozed in terms of that number. we're hearing reports and number of them as those supporters try to go back to their villagers and to their areas. those buses are being set upon by members of the public by organized groups. people are being pulled out of these buses because people are so fed up. they are not going to tolerate having a be set upon these anti government producers. so it's
2:08 pm
a me to all of this that we've finally had. my and the roger pox of the prime minister's resignation. right? so the prime minister has gone, but his younger brother is still president. so will this resignation be enough to satisfy the protest? put it this way, it is highly unlikely because at the time that the president, even at the early stages of the protest, ah, he had the entire cabinet resigned. on his request, he appointed a new cabinet of pretty much a majority. young faces of new, of new faces, new and fresh impedes. but protest. her said look, this is not going to pull wool over our eyes. we are saying, go to go. we want the roger boxes to go. and we won't be in tie a government machine to be sort of swept clean. so almost to, you know, sacrificing the prime minister. my am the roger boxer, a for the president. survival is not something that's going to go down easily with

the protesters. they have honestly spoken again and again in recent days and said nothing short of a clean sweep of the roger boxes and of this government however, will have to see the coming hours, how they react. but just judging from what they have been saying and doing over the past month, they're unlikely to be appeased, or i'm in el, thanks very much indeed for that's michelle fernandez. there with an uses relinquish permanent. some him to roger proxy has resigned. a pulse have now closed in the philippines where voters have been choosing the next president. results were expected of the next fail to attend candidates vying for the top job. front runner friedman macos junior, caught his violet earlier. he's the son of a former controversial leader that speech miller than 30 minutes to pulling station in mina and jamila. it's
