the prime minister, and the government resign. blaming them for mismanagement and corruption premium. a hinder roger box, a has now bowed to pressure. don, about a, how about i'm out when given i did with, as a leader who always listen to the people. i'm asking you, i mean, what do we do now that i know you know, we want melinda. we want melinda hearing, that means i do not need to resign. boston from around the country, a pro government crowd confronted to testers in colombo, who have spent weeks calling for change. some were injured while tents and posters were torn up. some said the police did not act fast enough to stop them, but shortly after protest as regrouped and launched a counter attack, targeting the buses that transported them even destroying luxury vehicles and

houses belonging to roger folks. loyalists the government imposed a country wide curfew until wednesday morning and deployed the military to disperse the crowds. it had the opposite effect. large crowds gathered opposite the president's office, vowing not to be intimidated. present got up is moved to sacrifice his brother doesn't seem to be working. today's racing nation is law, would you? but he is unlikely to address the cause that demands off to protest even despite the curfew in a state of emergency many on the roads. now because they feel their cause that the man's need to be her live ammunition was fired. when protested, broke down gates to the premier's residence, the president had invoked the state of emergency on friday. for the past 30 days, protest as have maintained a largely peaceful campaign, demanding the raj,

epoxy brothers and their government resign. but protested, say the violence unleashed by the prime ministers, a boarders forced them to respond. police and the armed forces have the challenge of now restoring. come. okay, let's talk to michelle, who's life for us in the capitol manella where we're saying earlier that it's a bit commoner that curfews you were talking about. your report has been extended until wednesday. what is the risk that we're going to see more violence at the moment? from water we've seen on the streets in colombo, are things seem to have settled to some extent. obviously there is a curfew extended to wednesday morning. that is a heavy military presence on our way. here we got stopped at multiple check points, manned by the air force, some by the army and the navy is out. the police is out. so very much, those celtic scenes where you saw a protest, there's

a sort of taking all the law into their own hands. they seem to have retreated back into their homes. that anger, that frustration that really spilled over on to the streets seems to have abated for the moment. rob, the protest has been calling for the full resignation of the government. we've seen the prime minister go now his brother, the president, is under, under pressure to go as welsh. what is the response of the government? how widespread could this be? i mean, this entire protest campaign began over a month ago now. and one of the resounding sort of themes of the campaign was gotta go home, which is a reference of present gotta be roger boxer. obviously, the 2nd wrong of that was for the raj boxes to go home, given that the prime minister, his elder brother and former president was serving also in that cabinet. and right

at the outset, at that stage, there were other siblings in cabinet or other relatives like nephew's. now, in response, a few days after the initial sort of protestant sitting outside the president's office, we did see a cabinetry shuffled the cabinet resigned on mos on the request of the president. and he did bring in sort of new blood. but the protests as weren't appease and even now with my in the roger parks of the prime minister, with some pushing, ah, having submitted his resignation, our people are still not happy. they say we started this entire process because we see that the roger boxes have to go home and the entire government that was aligned with them that has been walking with them. that is, as responsible as they are for the mismanagement, the corruption that has brought this country to its knees in a time where there's a global economic crisis post pandemic that we don't want any of those faces. we want a clean sweep, we want

a system change. so even this resignation of the prime minister is unlikely to appease the protesters. obviously, the president is trying to look at all kinds of alternatives, an interim government, a national coalition, the unity government. because obviously there still some time left on his term, but people seem to be digging in their heels and seeing enough is enough. we saw that resolve yesterday in fighting that violence that had been unleashed against the producers. so right now that resolve seems to be holding, and they say everyone needs to go and they need fresh blood. i know you're going to be sent across the story for us, but for normal fernandez in colombo, thank you very much indeed. the marcus family may be returning to power in the philippines. unofficial results from a presidential election suggested ferdinand marco's junior could become the next

leader 36 years after his father was overthrown in a revolution. shemelle alan dog reports from manila as vote counting got turned away, it appeared for he didn't mark as junior, was surging ahead. he's the son and name seek of the former philippine president, described by many as a dictator ousted in 1986 revolution, or that the account is not done. i started over, but i wanted to issue a short statement and it essentially is a statement of gratitude to all of those who have been with us in this long and sometimes very difficult journey. you the not 10 candidates are running low, but for the presidency venue. it's widely considered a 2 person race, vice president, lenny robledo, who is also the leader of the opposition, is trailing behind. marcus junior, initial results show a lead, so white pool experts believe it is unlikely, roberto can catch up. jason,

in your was up and i wanna, i'm with you in the belief that the elections must respect the full voice. and well, of the people my like. it is important that the people continued their belief and respect for democracy. more than 60000000 filipinos voted for the successor to president rodrigo, to 30 in one of ages, oldest democracies. oh, here in one of the biggest polling presence in manila voting day was marked with frustration. about malfunctioning boating machines. people lined up for hours and refused to leave, even as the pulls officially closed. for mom, brit marie lamb, you want or we want to be here. the one we want to see over by not going through the machines and see the receipt. some of them looks figure, some of them are, but they knew both of us. we refused to leave our posts. this election is too important and every vote is secret. the election commission assures the public that

it is very much in control, and the sanctity of the votes is still protected. a marcus presidency would mean an extra ordinary return for a family. there was forcibly removed from power 3 decades ago through people power and could become the most consequential election. in recent philippine history, jamal alan dog and al jazeera manila got us out a guy as a visiting fellow at the i says use of in shock institute, and he says the mark os family, i've spent decades prepared to reclaim power. this has been more than 36 years in the making. i think the markets dynasty, one of the most powerful political families in the philippines have carefully crafted a decades long strategy to be able to reach this apex in philippine politics. so i think they really bided their time, waited for the right opportunity. and i think the administration particularly

president with narrative as made the atmosphere conducive for the return of strong men rule. and it seems like the philippines is returning to this preference that the country be ruled, but not only the mystic family but one that rule and reign over the archipelago with an iron hand. if the partial in official results will show both markets, junior and ferry, the character will have a majority mandate. that may mean that they have enough political capital to be able to do what they want in terms of policies. but they're inheriting a government from outgoing president prepared to that is written in debt that is not as secure as when rodrigo detect gets in the office. that has a foreign policy that is in disarray. and that is still have been hit by the damage

and has the most the economy that has severely decline in se, asia, all these are challenges because at the end, the next crucial and most important thing to do is to govern and not to rain like a dynasty, the intense lighting is continuing in the ukrainian city of odessa, a strategically important black sea port. ukraine's military says at least one person is being killed and 5 of being wounded in russian air strikes. official, a set of shopping center and aware house where hit russian forces have targeted several times in the size from the past week. well, the air strikes forced the european union council president to take cover charles michelle with visiting the city to emphasize its importance for green exports that have been blocked by the war. the delays are adding to a global food crisis, ukraine's president let me,

as the landscape is cold in the international community to pressure russia into eating it's blockade of the ports. initially, the president charles michelle visited odessa today. he saw with his own eyes what the block see me with, for the 1st time in decades in odessa there is no usual movement at the merchant fleet. no port work, ordinary life connected with the sea is blocked by russia. and this is a blow not only to ukraine, without our agricultural exports, dozens of countries around the world are already on the brink of food shortages. and over time, the situation can become, frankly terrible. and the us president says he's concerned russians need a lot to me uprooting does not have a way out of the war. joe biden made the comments after approving a new law to speed up the delivery of weapons and military equipment to ukraine. biden's signed off on the land lease act. i say washington supports the ukrainians in what he called their fight to defend the country and democracy against prudence

. brutal war. the u. s. is already sent billions of dollars worth a weapons to ukraine. so i had an al jazeera that could, i was going problem with gang violence fighting between driving drug cartels and a prism leaves dozens dead or on the run. i'm truckers in the u. s. i said they're preparing for the worst and explain why that is felt bad news for the wider economy . ah, now it's been a windy spring, so it seems rather iranian pincher and that's continuing to this day. this doesn't look very much considering the size, the network. yeah, that's a persistent wind that's been blowing for a day will blowing for 2 more days. i think mostly the picture is a dusty one because of the wind, but dry and increasingly hot. it's still sharon's even cold enough air for the

southern caucasus to get some snow. and these shall tend to move in this direction lock in the temperatures because i have recently and asked about and they probably will do a little bit in couple as well. resuming on the winds and they're not quite gale false, but they are persistently strong, but they're quite quite halt the temperature. 40 degrees in doha is spot on average . so in the winter, these are really cold. in his time, the year they make no difference. they just bring the dust and the wind with him, the real hot weather, just a bit further east in pakistan where the official government agency has issued a severe heat wave warning temperatures approaching 50 degrees in many places. but even up in islamabad, it's hotter than it should be by several degrees. as we watch now, it's made we're watching for the winds to turn around eventually. so turn the south respond through soon for india. just change of wind are the few showers on the coast of kenya and somalia for tuesday. ah.

from oh, to politics. national pride to early advertising. al jazeera well tells the stories behind for songs from kuwait, oman, ketta and iran meeting song writers, performance and musicians. celebrating the social and cultural importance of songs of the gulf on al jazeera. oh, a watching auto reminder and help story. this out,

the situation turns bought. com and mr. lincoln capital colombo, after a night of violence, is so 7 people killed, including a member of parliament. soldiers have been deployed in the capital, a nation wide, curfews being posed unofficial results from the philippines. so ferdinand marco's junior, is on track to become the next president. the 64 year old as the son of a president ousted in a revolution 36 years ago. ukraine's military says at least one person is being killed and 5 are being wounded in russian air strikes on the port city of a desa. official says, shopping center and a warehouse where hit the us as accuse rushes, president divided uprooting of v lighting history during his speech to mark victory de the annual celebration of the defeat of nazi germany in 1945. and it was a fireworks display in moscow earlier, but putin led the traditional parade. he told russian forces they are fighting for the motherland and its future. it didn't announce victory in ukraine, nor did he indicate when he thought the war might end. what we saw president

couldn't do is, is, is give a version of revisionist history that took the form of this information that we have seen to commonly as the russian playbook. now what is fortunate is that we are all aware reporters around the world are aware. europeans are where americans are aware of the disinformation factory that present impudent and the kremlin seemed to be. but the suggestion that this war, that was prompted by directed by president putin was prompted by western aggression or western plans is patently false and absurd. the russian ambassador to poland has been dozing red paint by anti war protesters during a memorial service on bicycle on the air. and his stuff were surrounded by demonstrators at a reflex ceremony of the soviet military cemetery and more sole. protesters

carrying ukrainian flags chanted fascists killers. and shame before swing painted the diplomat. andrea told reporters he was proud of his country and his president. in south korea, a new president has been sworn in former prosecutor union, so killed, wildly, doesn't pharma presidents what among thousands, attending the integration and so and his speech noon calls for the complete do nuclear lies ation of north korea. and he said the door remained open for dialogue with young young bob. brian has more from the ceremony info, thousands of people attending here in the grounds of the national assembly listing to musical performances as witnessing the swearing in the by the new president, the 20th president of south korea and also listening to his inaugural address. but he is a conservative, we have just had 5 years of liberal administration here, which was bent throughout that 5 years on trying to get better dialogue with north korea facilitated all of these as summits with president trump at the united states

. well, there has going to be a change to that. the conservative you has said that he's going to take a much tougher line with north korea. and it does, does come of course, after we've seen these uptake in missile testing from the north, well over a dozen missiles tested since the beginning of this year. more recently we've sold an icbm and intercontinental ballistic missile launch. the sort of missile we haven't seen loans is 2017. that was at the end of march. and then just this past weekend, a new type of submarine launch, ballistic missile, which seemed to be north korea way of sending a message to president noon. but the units promised to take a tough a stand. he's also try to, he said he will try to restore relations with ne, but japan, which has been strange in recent years, and also with the traditional ally of the united states us president joe biden is coming this way. so we are likely, in the coming months and possibly years, especially with his conservative administration here, seeing

a return to the kind of allegiances and alliances we had during the cold war of the last century. a fight between rival gangs that a prison in ecuador has left at least $44.00 in maids dead, and dozens on the run. a violence broke out after a gang leader was transferred to the bella vista jail in santo domingo, alessandra romp. yet he has more. this footage shows the my him inside the babies the prison in santo domingo. dozens of dead bodies are seen piled under blondie had flor, the inmates were killed in an overnight fight between rival gangs. officials say it was triggered by the arrival of a gang leader, is the latest in a series of deadly riots inside with horse prisons. let my urea, if you'll support another cedar cassie, most of the victims of not almost 100 percent, were killed with a knife and not with a firearm. and most of the bodies were exposed and assaulted in the woods and in the cells, yet distraught relatives rushed to the prison. desperate to find out what had

is evidence. your 3rd is not doing a good job. many in this part of mexico say that a lot of the complaints about the government lacking resources, having poor training and a tendency by authorities to downplay the seriousness of the problem can be traced back decades. e, y like is that one actually says daughter brenda went missing in 2011, though brenda was later found dead. one a has since dedicated her time to helping other families find that they are missing, loved ones alive, and to call on the government to do more about missing persons cases. no segers and all of these mas emmy bear. it's the same investigator as always, and the same inconsistency as 2011. the authorities don't do their jobs, right. they say they have equipment, but we looked into this. and the only thing year is their job titles. the case of devany escobar sparked protest across mexico, once again shining

shipping industry is an early bellwether of the u. s. economy. and the road ahead is looking bumpy. we believe there's a us great recession. that is just south carolina, and it's going to get free on. the pandemic slowed the u. s. economy in 2020 in 2021 after workers got sick and factory shut down. that led to global shortages is short staffed cargo companies, left shipping containers behind on the dock. now the war in ukraine is sent fuel prices and the cost of shipping soaring, just as demand for a broad range of consumer goods begins to for the supply chain. experts call that the bull whip effect. you have tons of inventory and then not enough inventory. and then you react and you just keep going through this vicious cycle and, and we're, we've seen that over the last couple of years, and i think we're now headed in the other direction. experts predict the recession, a mom shipper's within much in that could lead to a us in possibly

a global economic downturn in a really corner of northwest arkansas. many of those experts from trucking companies, leading universities, the pentagon and elsewhere, have gathered at a conference on the future of the supply chain in hopes of staving off the worst. the pandemic and the warning ukraine who put kinks in the supply chain. and that is made the process of getting goods for manufacturer to consumer, more expensive and more complicated. the people at this conference are working on making that all smoother and less expensive. after 2 rough years. one major kink in the supply chain in the u. s. has been assurity, give drivers, trends forces is super for shippers acting as an intermediary to linked trucking companies with drivers. there's a bottleneck there right now because there aren't enough drivers to sit in their seats in those trucks to get the, the trucks in the goods to look another solution, self driving trucks like those made by torque,

a subsidiary of daimler trucking has been a really yes yes, it's gonna change sounds like you're not talking about entirely replacing human driving. absolutely. now, we're here to, to help companies with rob and attention to fill the void and help them lex, in with new pandemic variance in no end to a ukraine war. that slowed energy distribution that will likely continue to leave those drivers still. manning the wheel bracing for what comes next? john henderson, al jazeera, roger's arkansas. ah . this is al jazeera. these are the top stories, the situations tense, but com and mister langton, capital colombo, after a night of violence, the so 7 people killed, including a member of parliament, wible demonstrations, escalated into st battles, sparked by the worst economic crisis in decades. the prime minister, a step down,
