5:26 pm
have is about a day and a half was evaluated. never released at that point. the buffalo sitting is just the latest act of violence in a country struggling with racial tension, gun violence, and a surgeon hate crimes. prompting calls from elected officials from the governor all the way up to the president for change. we must all work together to address the hey, there remains a stain on the sol merck hearts or every once again. but a resolve must never ever waver. new york's governor called for stronger gun control laws, but it's also cause for a national response. what was used was not a li purchase legally in the state of new york. the basic gun was, but the high capacity magazine associated with it had a come from another state because it is illegal in the savior. we need a smart national policy. she said the investigation would also focus on what more could have been done to stop him. kristin salumi al jazeera,
5:27 pm
new york. let's head to sri lanka now where the prime minister says his country has completely run out of fuel. he says sher lankin needs $75000000.00 in the next few days to pay for essential imports. for more on this, let's bring in michelle fernandez, who joins us via skype in colombo. hello there manella concerning development. no doubt the impacts of the lack of fuel will be wide spread. that's right, a, it's not as if the fuel shortages are not biting. already. cues are stretching for kilometers at, at every petro station. but we're actually hearing almost the big picture. the real story from the newly appointed prime minister on a vicar missing her, who is essentially put the cards on the table and told the country that we just have petro for one more day. obviously they are expecting some shipments of petrol
5:28 pm
stalks over the next coming days. but obviously the issue of foreign currency is a major concern. a diesel, obviously again, after days of shortages, the prime minister saying that these will arrive in the country, but warning in an address to the nation. the 1st since he took oats, as prime minister, that the coming months are going to be some of the hardest. this country has ever gone through. so obviously this affects all factors of life, not just the industrial sector, the manufacturing sector, day to day lives, no children going to school. every single aspect that you can think of, you name it. there are basically impacts on, on that sector with fuel literally being a such an issue. and now actually hearing how bad things are, gives a lot of food for thought for people so far the people off shall anchor, didn't really have
5:29 pm
a clear picture of how bad things were. we kept getting reassured by successive politicians. and that also didn't really help because people had almost a false positive, a false sense of optimism that things would be okay. in a few days. here you have the prime minister, you know, laying his cards on the table. not that that makes it any easier to deal with, but obviously telling people it's not going to be easy anytime soon. and me now just quickly, before we end the show, how did shall anchored get to this point when people have been rallying in the streets over the economic crisis in recent wakes. unfortunately, it's been a number of factors that of all come to get. they started as far back as 2019 when tourism took a massive hit with these easter bombings that saw tourism sort of really cut back on top of that. we the go top roger pox, a government that came in in
5:30 pm
a bid to sort of get ready for the coming general election faxes were slashed in a huge way. despite warnings from economic, even from the opposition that this was suicidal that it should not happen because he taught government revenue by such a massive amount. so these were the sort of building blocks, if you like, of the crisis. come on with the pandemic, obviously like every other country in the. busy world this happened and the ability for sri lanka to deal with all of those economic knox was reduced because of the past. and now it's a case of them being literally no money in the kitty. the foreign reserves of this country fell from 7 and a half $1000000000.00 to less than $25000000.00 as we speak. so that has been a massive issue. and that's why this country could know me clearly is on its knees . it's certainly gone from bad to worse. thank you very much for that update. michelle fernandez live for us in colombo.
