12:03 pm
a frontier recent, she john just now live from colombo. what do you make of these extraordinary scenes? people literally break into the president's official residence it's, it's very, very, definitely very strange, new seeds history. and a lot of luck and sharing a viewer who had seen because for the last few months, there's been a complete crisis of confidence in the country in the countries, the economy, because the we've been had. and what brought us here. and with leadership that has essentially been refusing to move away from that thing and from that leadership. so that has led to this huge issue. so the eas, now some sort of hope along a lot of people that change is, can really habit and want that change happened once. that was a hedged. i'd that held up this really do change days, some sense that you know, policy change policy up can be implemented now and can actually be accepted by the people that the p and that they're going to will be worth it for their reform to
12:04 pm
the changes that will be coming to future, the processes have up to date the day, the day that the president and the government have to go. do you think that's going to happen anytime soon? well, in the last time that the government or all the people really protested that was to be changed, the prime minister left the time before that on the 31st of march. when again there was a huge wedding of people's organic protest. a big change in color and then to be changing the people after the minister as some of the key can nami technocrat to nest. so that would have been changed in the past. so i personally do feel that it is looking increasingly like that the president will have to take some sort of step to be. now you're seeing a piece for the president or party calling for him to step down. now, with the deprive mr. call the present some sort of new arrangement and it seems likely to be some change happening now. you can really ignore the people's voice when it's as low. this is when it's as united as this. so do think that use change
12:05 pm
coming and it's up to us to hope and you know, make sure that that change really, really do need to actually change in a positive doctors change or in recall. how much of the blame for sure lank has current economic woes to the president and his family bear? so should august economy was always quite fragile. we had issues, doug, budget deficits. we had issues with our current council life, but it went off the president, and part of those issues was exacerbated by all the decisions taken over the last 1520 years by the rest of the family, primarily his brother, when he was president, that is mind the roger boxes, but over the last few years, this government gave me the president, gave me 20 of all the actions as take the significant, the worth and the underlying economic footage of the country meet and really battled the country down to where we are right now. that includes massive tax cuts of been the country was already having low tax revenue. talk about printing trillions of repeating to be call me when tax every most low it talking about lots
12:06 pm
of these white elephant projects that didn't really at the lot to be caught in july, the country. so you had a lot of things. so i do think they just significant part of the blame does good rest and, and his family, not all of it, of course, country underline economic structural adjustments come from be before them, but they definitely have a place in continuing that. not patricia that and also more recently making those problem significant earlier today, please take the, the protest is outside the president home, but some of these protests have been largely violent for at least today. what can we read into that? well, the protest has, can since the 31st of march, when this book is melissa, really. so it's up to have a protein before that, as it had been almost entirely done by the only one key instance read that sheet and that was on may 8th. when support of the prime minister essentially government backed group attack to be support this doesn't, that was quite
12:07 pm
a lot of pushback. so outside of that day and a lot of by less that did pop up that did the protestants. we have consistently continuously been very peaceful, so i think it comes from the fact that these are very much your run of the mill everyday history lunk and looking at what happens and you can, i'm extension if they, i can't be the city or the people who brought us here have to go to has to be some sort of cheat and it's coming from that drop that any other form of organized or any other form of being the more violent elements coming it. so i think that will organic, more united nature of the protein do reading to the fact that they have continuous consistently being very non violent respect of course. but he had had the response at times from the state could still do so many thanks for being with us. such, are you seeing that in colombo? let's bring it out here. it's been helpful and us than his on the line from colombo, she's outside the president official residents. now what's happening there
12:08 pm
is treating them to be a fish within the not the people could not be kept behind about a kid. they had vowed. 1 come to colombo to sit in just around president and basically need to go. now he has been forced to see that visual residents hearing that we don't know where he has been evacuated to do and in the meantime, but also had him that the prime minister as now cause for a special of all the conference and to parliament to be someone now where i am, i'm indebted kaden's of thousands of people moving about. this is where you have president defendant house, the president of visual office a which is racked for the last 3 months that has the long gone been called go to go home. and right now the reason you're heading me down before 9 is because the but if he seems to have jammed the data, so we can actually send out video live video,
12:09 pm
read only restricted to the phone. but we haven't even some of the, the sampling official residents. and that's the extent to which people have sort of over on that official residence, an old and history property. but people are just living into this pens up emotion where they absolutely fed up without food gas about you're saying, you know enough, we want our futures back. i was there was dentist that reporting live from outside to president. got a bias. gotcha. by roger paxis, a residence in colombo. many thanks. and dave, now ela moss has concerned that he's terminating his $44000000000.00 takeover of twitter. now the social media company says the little su, tesla c o,
12:10 pm
to make sure that the agreement goes through. katya lopez, holly on reports, a $44000000000.00 deal to buy. twitter is now off the table. the richest man in the world. elan must says he's terminating the contract 3 months after locking in the agreement. he accuses the company of failing to provide information about fake accounts on the platform, and whether they make up fewer than 5 percent of users. twitters board chair says it kept its end of the contract and is planning to sue. i think twitter probably would prevail in this. i would think simply because there are, there is a deal now he must, can get out by paying a $1000000000.00 fine or $1000000000.00 bits, but sorry, fine. a $1000000000.00 penalty. and my guess is that that's what he's trying to prevent is not having to make that $1000000000.00 payment for money. the focus now turns to stocks and whether twitter and tesla will take a hit or the investors. what is the must just get back to focus on passive space acts, because twitter from the beginning just really been
