. this news just breaking just a few minutes ago. and of course her, if this does indeed happiness, the for lankin speaker of parliament has suggested to what might happen as soon as wednesday. of course, this would be a significant news for a country where the roger pox, a family of been dominant for decades. absolutely . and essentially it will see the back of the last of the raj boxes holding power. but it's, it's been a sort of a family that has been bouncing back with a whole bunch of different fortunes over the recent years. and in fact, if indeed president go to our b, roger boxer resigns. as reports indicate, he says he will on the 14th on the 13th of july. then by default, if nothing else changes. politically, it would mean that the prime minister run of becomes singer will become acting

president for a period of 30 days until such time that parliament votes and makes a decision as to who would then fill out those shoes. literally until the end of president got our barrage boxes term. but with all of these cause for the prime minister runner vicar missing to resign as well are essentially, it will depend on the sort of political negotiations and wrangling that happens over the next few hours over the next day or 2. what kind of agreements that the parties, the opposition run over promising himself and all those are in the sort of political sort of sector come to an agreement on m. manella might as clearly fall america, lumber. it has been an extraordinary bay or protest. where are we with those demonstrations now?

esentially, it's been in sort of peaks and troughs. so busy the morning, started out relatively a sort of quietly at the streets were so deserted that when ultimately people saw the 10s of thousands of some sort of protested, converging on colombo, it was quite a sight to behold. but obviously there had been plans. people meet there, we are on foot in dreams, in people carriers in laurie's in gas carriers in certain sensors. they were all determined to get here. so that happened tensions actually built up. there was a huge amount of t, a guess are being fired at protest as throughout the day. in fact, the out there, a crew got stuck right there in the thick of it was not a pleasant experience. then things kind of settled down for a bit and again, there was a stand off this time with protested. are converging on the president's official residence. they pushed back the barricades. they literally took over the water

cannons that had been there to push the protest as back and then the over and the president's house, those crazy pictures of protests as jumping into the president's swimming pool. i'm sure nobody will forget. so that happened. and then again, there was a feeling of euphoria because people had seen these pictures of the presidency palace being overrun. of course it didn't mean that the president had agreed to resign or go, but it still was key that he had to literally flee. the oncoming protested, and that he had to make a quick exit. so things did take on a certain party atmosphere. there were people kind of celebrating on the streets and then things moved again, retentions wrapping up outside the prime minister on becoming his residence again. or we passed it when there was a huge amount of t, a guess, trying to prevent the students from pushing through the barricades. a during this there was a sort of mealy, where we had local tv channels are some of its personal being attacked literally

assaulted by policemen who they had had as sort of an altercation with those of 6 personnel are supposed to be injured. and then it took on a different flavor. there was an anger once again that the police had gone to this extent, not just with the journalists, but there are also some of the student protested, who said that the members of the into university student federation had also sort of been assaulted by police. and then things are moved into a much more violent, aggressive sort of a mood where then they moved into the president's private residence, a beautiful, beautiful residence. obviously the president at the prime minister, having served in politics for many, many years coming from a very elite, a family of our most sort of politicians. his grandfather started one of the oldest media houses. so he did an amazing collection. and this all went up in flames with

the fire breaking out it being certified. so it's been quite a crazy day. and now we're hearing the last bit in the last few minutes that the president has indicated to the speaker that he's ready to resign. renelle fernandez, some of extraordinary day protests in the selected capital club. i thank you. as for lanka, as we heard there is in the middle of a serious economic crisis, it runs out to foreign currency and doesn't have enough to pay for import. part of the problem is a lack of visitors. tourism is a crucial source of foreign currency, but tourism revenues dropped dramatically off to the 2019 east to bombing the cove . in 19 pandemic prison go to buy a roger pox. a has been accused of economic mismanagement. a series of tax cuts contributed to creditors downgrading for anchors rating. and then last april roger packs are banned. fertilize the import sanks for lanka would be a 100 percent organic when it comes to farming that affected agricultural production. joe food prices up and fuel the need for inputs will w a v g, alright,
