official residence in columbus. inside. this is what it looks like. the president was moved by his security team to an undisclosed location earlier, or protesters ran, sent to sent you and took photographs on it. with the within moments the presidential pool was reserved for the country's top leaders appeared more like a community pool. the. 2 of our government leaders must leave 3 lanka. they can govern the country properly. we have children and were on the streets, leaving our jobs because we believe in this cause. we love the country and we are suffering. the 73 year old president was elected in 2019. analysts say it's only a matter of time before he is forced to step down. as soon as the president's resignation is now,

the prime minister becomes the acting president according to the constitution. and that is for a period of 30 days within which parliament must decide who amongst its members will be elected to serve the remainder of the raj. faxes to anger is advising the government's handling of a dire economic crisis the worst in 70 years. the monthly minimum wage is about $80.00 access to food, fuel and medicine is limited, and the government has run out of foreign currency, budget punctures, political allies know, this is a crucial moment for their party. smaller demonstrations held earlier this year has little impact. now the frustration appears to have turned into a movement, there can no longer be ignored. castillo pavilion, which is 0. ok, we're going to bring him and elvin and is live in now. she's in the columbia

manella, the prime, mr. says he's willing to stand down. what else came out of that meeting of party leaders. but what we're hearing was that it was quite an animated meeting of all the leaders of opposition political party, the prime minister. it was held virtually, obviously, given all the tension, all these leaders couldn't come together. but there were a number of potential solutions that were put on the table. one of the 1st things party leaders are the prime minister is for the resignation of the president. go to bed, roger boxer and the prime minister on a, vic, i'm a senior. this is off to propose that the president resign were beaten down by all the party leaders saying it doesn't go far enough that given the public anger, that one can see on the streets, you can sort of see the crowds behind me just over my shoulder is the prime and it

says official residents, by the way, that given that sort of ground swell of anger, that to just the president resigning just won't do. the prime minister wasn't too keen on that idea. but ultimately, what he did say was that he was willing to resign, but there was obviously a condition if and that's a big if and when there's a national government and all party government in place. the reason that he gave for that is that given the current fuel crisis, given the food shortages, he had announced that the head of the. 2 workforce program is due to visit your lawn kind a few days that i brought in discussions with the i m. m. and a run over promising has justification is given all of this. he does not want to leave us out of the country unattended. so on the 2 such time there is an old party government in place, then he's willing to resign and step aside so that that can be continuity. at least that's the line he's taking right now. now there seems to be

a lot of talk and not necessarily a lot of action. and as you mentioned, there are pro still going on behind. gee, how do you think? sure lankin will react to this news. i think. a sherlock has reached a water shed in terms of quiet, we are just swallowing whatever lines. these politicians are sort of dishing out over which they have been doing over the years. and that is what many of the protesters from this morning have been saying? where pushing for the president to go, we want the government to go. but if they're trying to pull wool over our eyes, we're not going to be full. this time we will come back. so we haven't heard during this entire vacuum throughout the day. form go, toby, roger pucks are the president short of news that obviously his official residence was sort of overrun by the processes. we saw them in his swimming pool. and

obviously throughout the presidential palace we heard that he had been evacuated to safety earlier, but all lions very quiet or nothing coming out from the president or the president's camp. so the people though, saying that they are very strong in their resolve. they have had enough of being a sort of food over the years. been cheated, being robbed, they say we are not a country where not a poor country where a country that have been drugged and robbed by our leaders. so for the people that is a lot of action, they are very clear that they've had enough that they are going to push for leaders while countable and the ones who hold office right now do not fit that description . ok, make sure you let us know how the night unfolds. vanelle fernandez, live for us in colombo, thank q. let's take a closer look now at shoreline co, which is in the middle of a serious economic crisis. it's run out of foreign currency and doesn't have enough to pay for in ports. part of the problem is the lack of visitors. tourism is

a crucial source of foreign currency. but tourism revenue dropped dramatically after the 2019 east of bombing, and the coven. 19 pandemic. president got to buy a roger boxer has been accused of economic mismanagement. a series of tax cuts contributed to creditors downgrading shall anchors rating them at last. april. reggie parks are banned. fertilizer in ports st shall anchor would be 100 percent organic farming nation that affected agricultural production that drove food prices up and fuel them made for imports. ok, let's bring in t r g ruwan path to ronna. she is a south asia researcher at amnesty international and joined us also from the capital colombo at t r. g. thanks so much for being on the program. you attended protests earlier today. what were they like and what was the mood of notice demonstrating? i think there was a lot of energy. i waive in the afternoon. i see from morning teams,

people coming in from all over the country. and i think it's amazing because you know, trends want you to be operating. you will get to you. but also people who have, you know, like basically people coming to the store to either buy shop in, even compete with really quite amazing watch. so from wyoming, people have been taught me. and by the time i read just in the afternoon the right to the fact that the president passed a long time to get to the rail. and i managed to boy inside the president house that's now being occupied by the will then to be orderly group of people going even out here. not to be not to break anything, not so it's almost like an open now that we have never seen before.

we did say the images of people sort of dancing around in a pool and going through his bedroom. it seemed almost like a potty atmosphere. but as you said, it didn't seem to be that anyone was damaging anything. what to say about people's level of respect for the government? i think because they've been asking the government to resign. i mean the me in court has always been for the president to sit down. even we started the 4 months and the cabinet resigned was in the as because he's an all executive resident. and right now the would is that, you know, we should probably get points relations because look like the government, the entire witness, the teams for the friday. so i have that many of the people and so i

think people going in have a lot of respect that it's, you know, the structure, the, the people basic you shouting, saying that this is our property. do not be charged because we will be free today to let them respect in that sense. but i see, i think people have really, really tied off a baby to resign and he thought to be on the people. and yet this, by the protest today, we've heard from the prime minister who says he's willing to stand down, but we haven't actually heard from the president. so how our participants reacting to that, that means that the prime minister will stand down. so i think why the primary call has always been. ringback president, down there has been a significant number of people said the president and the fine we need to meet people. and i think that was reflected in the all the i needed to be and that was

what was the forward. and even though the prime minister initially has been in the sense of that sort of call, it looks like you're coming around. but like you said last weekend working to see if they didn't, would actually feel around. and because of the fact that decline mean, it's just that he's not going to resign. and usually i think that's why a lot of people started moving towards his private president. and right now we see how journalists and people that are being attacked by the right. just one last thing before i let you go, gee, even if the government is replace, there's no short term solution to the economic ways of sterling, of sure, lincoln's is there. and so how do you think lincoln's are going to to go forward given the lack of fuel in food at the moment?

i think if you put that, we're not going to come out of this price for quite a long time. i think it's also about trying to manage carry money on you and i am at the beach. i think from what i've understood that i missed that civil agreement is probably something we're going to reach by pretty model. and then afterwards, i'm not sure where the actual cash flow in, but i think reaching the i missed the other governments to also getting to buy electric fusions. we could government and have some kind of fees that, you know, you will get some kind of assistance soon. so that they can start something money in some ways and then lock it was going on and that the fixing the people and right now, you know, we've not had beautiful views and i think that makes all of your shipment is

on the 22nd of this month the same, there might be some your shipments next week, but it just imagine of the country driving out a you know, i can get to talk with the entire economy everson, well we really appreciate your insight. thank you for taking the time to speak to us t i g one path rana a south asia research at mass international moving on now in a long mass cans confirmed. he's terminated. he's $44000000000.00 takeover of twitter. now the social media company says it will serve tests to see or to make sure the agreement goes through them to mulligan report. a $44000000000.00 deal to buy. twitter is now off the table. the richest man in the world. you are musk says he's terminating the contract 3 months after locking in the agreement. he used 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 as planning to sue. i think twitter probably would prevail in this. i would think simply because there are, there is a deal. know, he must, can get out by paying a $1000000000.00 fine or $1000000000.00. it's, but it's hard to find 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, which must own will take a hit or the investors want to see must just get back to focus past the space x. because twitter from the beginning just really been a distraction. it's been overhanging the stock musk sped to take over twitter stirred controversy back in april. critics were concerned the tesla ceo would promote misinformation on the popular social media site, especially on matters related to politics and health. mac said the acquisition was

about stopping censorship and defending freedom of speech. analysts say the billionaire, mave, experienced buyer's remorse, is trying to walk away. and the wait is contracts are structured. it's very difficult for buyers to walk away. either their, these contracts are drafted with a hot or 2 to provide a high degree of certainty for the sellers. now terminating the $44000000000.00 contract will have to play out on the legal front. and social media will surely have plenty to say about it. then small him al jazeera, the place chief in the japanese city of nara, where the former prime minister should so ave was assassinated on friday, says he can't deny there were problems with his security ave was shot while speaking in a political campaign event. police are investigating the gunman named as 41 year old. tit sir? yeah, yeah. megan, me, act of the line. foreign slowing will force young and old. they have

telling them he was disgruntled with a specific organization. he believed arby to be a part of. the assassination has shocked japan, a nation with strict gun ownership laws, and low crime rate. abbe, japan's longest serving prime minister was a highly popular and highly controversial figure, who tried to charge a bold way for it for japan, economically and diplomatically. a born strategy sinker, always tried to look beyond japan's horizon in order to broaden japan's diplomatic horizon. in an age, when our gigantic neighbour is growing very much rapidly, personally, he is warm and the friendship once ordered

and human dignity. the war in ukraine has been really the main point of discussion during the course of this g 20 foreign ministers meeting. and that same theme has continued into this bilateral meeting between the u. s. and china. secretary blinkin said that during the meeting, he raised his concerns about the continued normal relationship between china and russia and said that now was the time that all countries must put pressure on russia to end its aggression in ukraine. i shared again with the counselor that we are concerned about, the p r c's alignment with russia. now what you hear from, from beijing is that he claims to be neutral. oh, i would start with a proposition that, um, it's pretty hard to be neutral when it comes to the disagree. following the conclusion of this highly anticipated bilateral meeting, both secretary blinkin and minister one will continue their diplomatic efforts here in asia. secretary blinkin will continue on and travel to thailand where he will

meet with thailand's prime minister and foreign minister minister wong meanwhile, will remain in indonesia where he will meet with the indonesian president. at least 16 people on a poem kilogram inch have been killed by flash floods in indian administered kashmir. helicopters varied to hospital. some of the pilgrims who were injured when a flood swept through their makeshift camps high in the himalayas. they were on an annual pilgrimage to a cave revered by hindus. they got me done a lot by wanting to run. i saw water gushing down, sweeping away men, women shops and our belongings to. i have never before seen such an incident in my life. everything was buried under the mountain doors on the dark about. we were about 200 meters away from the cave and started raining. suddenly people started to run, it was all chaos. i saw a mountain coming down. we left and don't know how many were killed. the 1st candidate seeking to replace the forest johnson is british prime minister,

have announced their standing. johnson has angered many in his own party by insisting he'll stay and now, rather than hand over to his deputy, the dame baba has the licensed a day off. devoris, johnson said he stepped down attentions turned to walk and who comes next around the newly cleaned up palace of westminster. the talk is of a clean break of restoring trust in governments. someone has to grip this moment and make the right decision. and friday, the 1st, the political, big to be 6 announced their standing of the previous chancellor receives tonight. and i have been my co payment to gather soon. next, one of 2 cabinet members who's resignation lead to a torrent of junior ministers quitting. and johnson eventually giving in that should be a new leader. but on thursday, johnson insisted he'd stay in post until the new leader was chosen a process, but could take many weeks within the party. initial opposition to him staying on in

the interim seems to be weakening. i don't think that it would be appropriate for us whether we around the cabinet table or in any other part of the british government. just to kind of down tools and say actually you know what, we're not going to do anything until the new boss is in place. we have a duty and our duty is to govern what's due to happen is all the conservative members of parliament get to vote on the leadership candidates. it could take several rounds before they narrow it down to just 2 names. assuming neither drops out, it's been up to the wider policy membership to pick a new leader. what's different this time is it's just a different type of policy. it's not parliamentary deadlock. as it was over to resume with her fairly to get her breath it deal through. in this case, the problem is the prime minister and in particular the premises judgment. his integrity and the fact that he really lost confidence of so many people in his government. and that's meant that, that it's slight weird that he's continuing the opposition labor party still say if

johnson isn't gone soon, they'll try to force him out using parliaments. he shouldn't be desperately clinging on when he has had to leave office because of his disgraceful conduct. and that's why i say the tory party should remove him, and if they don't, we will step pop in the national interest and bring a photo confidence. it's unlikely though that enough conservative m p 's were back stoba. in 2 weeks, parliament breaks for the summer, leaving westminster to the tourists and leaving the choice of prime minister to fewer than a 150000 conservative party members. but between now and then, plenty could happen to change boris johnson's time table for leaving downing street . the dean baba al jazeera london kennedy's lodge is mobile and internet provider has suffered a major outage affecting bank ac ems and emergency service hotlines able in toronto swamped places that still had functioning why fi watches? telecommunication says it's restored services for the majority of its customers.

a slow and steady cleanup effort to anacostia river has improved to the point where aquatic life can actually be seen swimming in its waters. again, this is clear if i've ever seen the water down here. and now the continued improvement at the washington dc river ris with the fresh water muscle and the part clam part, snail like shellfish is creating water. marine biologists from the anacostia watershed society. have released over 26000 native muscles into the river. they act as sort of a natural vacuum cleaner. to cleanse the water muscles are, are filter filter feeders, so they can help clean the water. one muscle of the size of the muscle collecting 2, they can filter between 10 to 20 gallons of water a day. so when you add up the numbers in a year, that's a lot of water that they can filter. now the muscles filter the equivalent of

$106.00, a limpid sized swimming pools of water every year. this is what they filtered in less than 2 hours, but propagating muscles and reintroducing them to the river has had a dual impact, clean the river, and help keep them from going extinct in the united states. we need to work to conserve muscles because greater than 70 percent of them are listed as endangered. threaten or are just have like conservation concerns. and there's like 300 species of fresh water muscle in the united states. so when you think of like 70 percent of that 300 species and they are at great risk leading halls, in many ways these muscles are coming home because before this river got so polluted it killed most of them off. there are more than 80 different types of muscle species that lived here. it was in 2018 by ologist, started reintroducing them in an experimental project. and it appears to be working

for a once polluted river now on its way back to being healthy. thanks in large part to a most unlikely shellfish. gabriel's onto al jazeera washington says he is eligible or is playing in the women's wimbledon final right now. the world number 2 is facing ellena ry bank kena of kazakhstan. that perry's playing to the biggest titles of their careers g boys aiming to be the 1st to arab and to african play in history to win a grand slam title. they won, said age, fungible is currently down in the 3rd for more on this let's head straight to to names where elisia evoke men is standing by press elisia. tell us a little bit about who you with them. why owns your boy is being cold. the minister for happiness so way we're live for a coffee lunch it's, it's, are you that allowed us i, most people are watching from home, but this seems to be one of the few.
