6:03 pm
get another unprecedented moment, demonstrator stormed into the president's official residence inside. this is what it was. the president was moved by his security team to an undisclosed location. earlier. protesters ran sent to sent you and took photographs on it. with the within moments the presidential pool was reserved for the country. top leaders appeared more like a community pool. the. 2 of our government leaders must leaves me lanka. they can govern the country properly. we have children and we're 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, and i will say it's only
6:04 pm
a matter of time before he's 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 such members will be elected to serve the remainder of the raj. faxes to anger is rising. the government's handling of a dire economic crisis, the worse 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. roger punctures, political allies know that is a crucial moment for their party. smaller demonstration. so earlier this year has little impact. now the frustration appears to have turned
6:05 pm
into a movement that can no longer be ignored. castillo, this is leanne how to 0. all right, straight to our correspondent enough and they said she was at the scene of the process earlier in colombo, this is what she filed present go to obey roger pox and his government had been put on notice that if he didn't go that the hall of sri lanka would take to the streets that would come and basically sit in until they saw his exit. as you can see behind me the crowd. i mean, essentially in the far distance, the presidential secretary, but tens of thousands of people are still streaming in to colombo in any way they can. on our drive. here we saw dozens of people on foot with backpacks living around colombo, even people who had been walking from out of colombo. we're also hearing that trains which had been our sort of halted our people, storm rear stations and literally forced ruby employees to put trains on the tracks
6:06 pm
and bring them into colombo and the one thing they see that they are taking that country back. today's independence day for me. been born in this nation, not mine in 48. because to day, we have fought far freedom from the tyranny from the scoundrels, from the black gods, from the rascal, the robes, and the li, the politicians who have run our nation below ground 0. and this is exactly what the government tried so hard to prevent. the thousands of people converging on the capital to urge the president and his government to go. they brought in a curfew, they had to remove it the next day. they essentially wanted the distribution of fuel. whatever little stocks were available were frozen. i essentially transport public's transport was stopped, but people were not giving up. and if you look at the far back around the she
6:07 pm
lanchen flag flying high, the roger boxer regime, the government of go toby, roger fox and his brother, brother, president, my and the roger proctor was so sort of keen and strong to talk about nationalism. but the people here see, this is the true spirit of sri lankan and they want their country back. okay, let's go live now to michelle fernandez in columbia manella night, clearly has fallen there over the city. half the demonstrations are based in anyway they did for a couple of us, things seemed like they were settling down. but just as we speak less than half a kilometer, just down the road in this direction, there is a stand off, a mainly between a crowd, a massive crowd of university students outside barricades which are blocking off
6:08 pm
the access to the prime minister's private residence. that's where he lives, runner become a singer. and even as we speak just a few minutes ago, there was another volley of tea. a guess we had to drive through to set up here as much as we wanted to bring you those pictures. it was impossible to even sort of stand around the, the strength her and the sort of fumes of those tear gas canisters, making it impossible for us to be there. so in addition to that, we've had during that stand off an assault on a private tv channel, 6 members of the crew are pretty brutally assaulted. the channels saying that they were just doing their jobs. they had their sort of a confrontation with the police regarding filming some of the police on duty at that barricade. there was an exchange of views, but it ended up with the commandos of the police surrounding members of this channel, which is called news 1st. there sort of mean
6:09 pm
a news channel and putting them to the ground and assaulting them. we know that those one female reporter who has apparently a gash in her head, requiring stitches. now we've had the prime minister since then issue a statement expressing regret of the assault over a journalist doing their job, but also calling for restraint among the security forces and the media to prevent from violence. but there is honestly no excuse for assaulting journalist doing their jobs. i mean, in terms of restrained by the police and the security forces should realize obviously according to the shallow which is made a sort of it very clear that these reporters were just doing their job. so all of these things are unfolding as we speak. i linelle as you, as you mentioned the prime minister now saying he's willing to stand down. busy of course doesn't necessarily mean he will. how would that potentially help given that, that doesn't appear to be one of the initial demands of the demonstrators?
6:10 pm
oh, it won't help at all. in fact, the demonstrators do want to see ronald vicar missing her go. when they started this campaign 3 months ago, under that banner, gotta go home or reference to president, go to albert roger boxer as well as his government or his entire family that was in office. they meant that they want the boards cleared. they did not at that stage envy said ronald vicar missing her being brought in as prime minister. this is mind you, a politician who was unable to safeguard his own seat at the last general elections, he was ceremoniously voted out. it's also a prime minister who has served 5 previous terms, this one being his 6th, and never being able to complete a single one of those terms. so as much as he has said, he's willing to resign and mind you, i run over committing is a very astute politician. very used to playing word games. i mind you,
6:11 pm
he has made it a condition i am willing to resign. i will resign. if that is a national government in place, obviously to ensure national stability, stability in the country. so we are still a long way from that, given all the sort of political wrangling and the sort of political theatrics that we have seen in shall anchor. so it's not going to happen anytime soon as much as he has given this, sir. suppose it's sort of concession saying he's willing to step down her as well. it doesn't mean that he will. so it's not going to appease all these protests is who say they are here for the long haul. they want to see the boards basically sweat clean romanella. and of course, one of the demands from the professors was for an all party government. what in theory would that look like? well, basically, there is a sort of a rainbow blanket of political parties inch lanka bonte. if you look at recent
6:12 pm
times, obviously there are 2 sort of 2 main central camps. if you like. the one of the roger boxes are the a party that has brought in all of these apart, you know, certain group of parties under their umbrella as well as the s g, b, a, who's li days. now the leader of the opposition. and then obviously there are parties like the g, p, a and a couple of are the smaller parties. so each of them obviously have a pretty very political ideologies and political sort of stances and policies. so it's not going to be an easy negotiation, an easy sort of or an arrangement in any stretch of the imagination. so when you have the prime minister saying i will resign when there's a national government, he is very well aware that coming up with that national government, even though people know it's the need of the hour, is still going to take
6:13 pm
a little bit or a lot of are political wrangling and negotiations. my now frank michelle fernandez in color mother. now the roger packs of family is dominated politics since for lanka, for 20 years by hinder roger pac. so the president's brother came to power in 2005, and that the country for 10 years, he appointed his 3 brothers as government ministers. go to bio roger pack, so on the presidency in 2019 and immediately appointed his brother melendez, prime minister. and it was replaced by ronald rick from a singer in may. demonstrate is accused the brothers of cronyism, corruption and economic policies that, of course, this current crisis will. let's bring in the mission jamal. he's an executive director at verity research. he joins us from colombo, thanks for your time. i'm not entirely sure how close you may have gone to the demonstration demonstrations. what we saw earlier if you burst of tear gas, but on the whole,
6:14 pm
the protest seem to be largely peaceful. but what does all of this say about attitudes towards the political elite, there in sri lanka, 3 lanka, thank you for bringing me in government, political leadership, including the president. i have lost legitimacy in a way that is unprecedented. a gallop says nation. busy that approval rating of the government is already down to 10 percent as can continue to decline. and i think because elections are still several years that we that assertion of democracy has been to partner and asked the leaders to depart because the policy is brought the country most significant economic crisis in independence low. ready the protests i think have done
6:15 pm
them in terms of peaceful progress and we really hope that the government leaders listen to the voice of the people and different adele female. but that's something to talk more about as well. and can you help us, sir, on pay quotes just happened there in colombo, the prime minister now saying he's willing to stand down. does that mean he will? and how will that help if he does? yeah, i think if you look at the history of the brightness. ready does leadership of its own party in the last 20 years, every time they lost an election, they have lost many add. the prime minister with his party has promised to step down, provided there is consensus in the rest of the party ranks about one to 2. usually it's been up to have arrival. people compete for leadership and i minister has continued saying there is no agreement. it's authentic go method of remaining in
6:16 pm
our which now he's. ready seems to be deploying at the level of the argument by time not actually due to the enormous call of society and people to resign. so i think it is very clear that it is a tried and tested as cynical tactics that is being presented as an excuse to remain which also by the managers on the promise just made by the president. so the president, i communicated through the speaker that he would have bye bye all by everything that was at the odd to leaders meeting which today and at the party leaders meeting everybody except the prime minister of course said that both the president and prime minister must have's depositions with immediate effect. so effectively of the promise given to the leaders and has been drenched upon by the prime minister
6:17 pm
creating the mission that effectively tried to buy time and cynically continue to remain in right now. one of the main demands of the protest is, as for the formation of their so all party government will that mean the to all of 3 long because economic woes and challenges will disappear overnight is not a panacea to cure all of the problems of the country. the moment the problem can be cured very quickly, but they can be diverted to it. that's up hot and what is going on today. one of the fundamental problems of the current leadership is corruption as rampant corruption. that is taking advantage of the current crisis in stuff like the fed shows and it is rampant corruption that kind of the kind of system to begin with. and i think when people are asking that leadership to go out there, and they also asking for elections in the future,
6:18 pm
did really want to see what it would be to ship to clean up that option and then don't believe that the ship can provide solutions. and i think and all the government, the expectation is that it would be a cap ticket though it does put a stop to the current trend option. and that decision making and still st. like in the right direction. but also be that election, create a new leadership, do and into the mission demand, executive director of verity research. thank you. thank you very much. there are plenty of overhead and use our, including their homes, destroy by war we meet ukrainian seeking to rebuild what they've lost and we visit the silent streets of an ancient libyan city that used to be filled with tourists in sport, a new home for this former al madrid star, undue,
6:19 pm
and he will be there with that story. ah, now the la musk is confirmed. he's terminating his $44000000000.00 takeover of twitter. now the social media company says it will su, teslas, c, e o. to make sure the agreement goes through finter monahan reports a $44000000000.00 deal to buy. twitter is now off the table. the richest man, the world you on mosque says he's terminating the contract 3 months after locking in the agreement. he cues 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 of a deal, know he must can get out by paying
6:20 pm
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 go in dollar payment for money. the focus now turns to stocks and whether twitter and tesla, which must owns, will take a hit by the investors wanna see must just get back to focus in the past, the space x. because twitter from the beginning, you just really been a distraction. it's been overhanging stock musk speed to take over twitter stirred controversy back in april. critics. we're 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 may have experienced buyer's remorse is trying to walk away. and the way these contracts are structured, it's very difficult for buyers to walk away. their, their use contracts are drafted with a hot to, to provide
6:21 pm
a high degree of certainty for the sellers. now terminating the $44000000000.00 contracts will have to play out on the legal front. and social media will surely have plenty to say about it. then tomorrow him al jazeera, tim hubbard is assistant professor at the university of not to them. he says this may impact on how he's viewed when it comes to future takeovers and investments. i think we stand back and we think about what elan mosque is trying to do in terms of business and humanity. i think he's trying to push the world forward and with twitter, i think he saw a different avenue to do that in terms of discourse and public, you know, public policy and trying to understand how people communicate with each other. he is the type of person that can change directions very quickly. we've seen that in as business practices, both the tesla and that and twitter where he tried to take over. obviously, i think that he's always going to kind of have that where he's going to get
6:22 pm
interested in something and go down that path a little bit. but he'll always kind of come back to the core of what he's trying to do. i think twitter is just the latest example of that. and so any future deals i think are always going to be viewed in this light. where if the he has a credible offer for something, everybody's going to stand back and go. is he actually going to follow through with that, or is he going to dabble in this idea and kind of raw markets up and then go back to what he's interested in actually doing? i think it makes it a little bit tough in terms of trying to work with investors. he brought a lot of people on to the twitter deal diverse group of investors. and so now he's got strained relationships with all these people that he's tried to work with in order to put this deal together. and so from a leadership perspective, within the companies, i don't think it changes very much, but it definitely changes the way that he approaches working with outside investors, outside stakeholders and companies that he might be interested in the future. it's been a hot breaking n for tennessee in tennessee on sir,
6:23 pm
but i was just lost the wimbledon finals. she was on course to become africa's 1st graham slang women singles champion, and the 1st arab woman to win the title. she lost to cassock starns, elena re buckner out his ears. alicio home is standing by live for us here in tunis earlier. clearly not the results are people there were hoping for. but give us a sense of how much own stupor has captured the, the nation's imagination. in all of this, she's in our, in a way, she sort of become the nation's sweetheart. she's really lifted people up out of her a time of great uncertainty. i mean, there's a very serious economic crisis here and an ongoing political crisis and instability . and people started calling had the minister of happiness. and you just hear people talking about on jabber and she is on billboard advertising thing. she's, she's everywhere. and she is yet that sort of warm,
6:24 pm
sunny personality is really uplifted the people. and she may not have won wimbledon, and she said that this wasn't her dream. she wanted to always wanted to win the, the french open cuz she started out in a play courtyard. wimbledon has really tested her tennis because dross is a lot more tricky and slippery to play on than play. but i think people understand that and she's really got people picking up their tennis rackets. maybe they played tennis as kids and about their at she jo, rejoining tennis clubs, and young kids are kind of thinking maybe i can be on jabber. so even though people really sad and certainly the last set was really tense, there was a lot of who's an r 's and jerry disappointment every time she scored a point there be a big chair. yeah, so even though there was a bit of a down beach feeling, it wasn't kind of like, people were completely destroyed. i think having taught a few people here is the thought that she's come this far and there's always wimbledon next year. right. there was indeed a is there now
6:25 pm
a legacy of budding tennis dollars in the bible? and you think engineer i think it's really puts in asia on, on the tennis map. i mean, certainly around, you know, tune is the capital. there are a lot of tennis floods, so i think it's really inspired people because the thing about algebra, she's not come from a privileged background. she's come from a small village called southern car helen here and she's really kind of worked away up from nothing. and this is a huge message for which an asian people and, and young people who have been feeling very disconsolate for a long time. so i think we could see some amazing results in the future recently seen some great football styles, rising rugby stars. so why not more tennis stars elisia evoke men live for us there in 2 days saw no algebra getting further than any female arab north african tony star house in the past to other new style. the police
