9:03 pm
yet another unprecedented moment. the demonstrator stormed into the president's official residence in colombo. inside. this is what it looks like. what the president was moved by his security team to an undisclosed location earlier, or protesters ransacked his bedroom and took photographs on his bed. with a moments the presidential pool, once reserved for the country's top, leaders appeared more like a community pool. only had that man. i love my, our government leaders must leave sri lanka. they can't 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. anger is rising at the government's handling of a dire economic crisis. the worse in 70 years,
9:04 pm
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. frustration appears to have turned into a movement that can no longer be ignored. katya lopez, lillian al jazeera, so lank as protests, as of also set fives. the prime minister's residence in columbia. our minister ran a rick from a singer as agreed to step down, but only once all policies agree on a new government. but al fernandez is in colombo with more. the reports indicate that the president got up, roger parker has told the speak of parliament that he will step down and resign on the 13th of this month. that's basically a few days from now. 4 days are from what we're hearing. i've spoken to a couple of sources around the story and they said this may be to take in the kind of transition or in terms of transfer of power to put into place. you know,
9:05 pm
what happens after his exit. but other observers also say it might be to kind of laid the groundwork to ensure that it's as painless and exit as possible. 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, i with a whole bunch of different fortunes over the recent years. and in fact, if indeed present got arbitrage, epoxy 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
9:06 pm
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 calls for the prime minister on a vehicle missing to resign as well. ah, 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 or the roger pike's a family has dominated politics since for lanka, for 20 years. men to roger pac sir, the president's brother came to power in 2005 and led the country for 10 years. he appointed his 3 brothers as government ministers. gossip by roger pac so won the presidency in 2019 and immediately appointed. his brother may hinder as prime
9:07 pm
minister. the hinder was replaced by ronald ricker. i'm a singer in may demonstrate as accused the brothers of cronyism, corruption and economic policies that of course, this current crisis t yagi root brewer and part of the rana is south asia researchers, amnesty international. she was at the protests and told us why roger parks and needs to go. the right and the president passed, it took up a long time to get to the gall loaded rails. and i managed to go inside the president's house that's now being occupied by the will. that's a very orderly group of people boys even out that they care not to talk to being not to break anything, not. so it's almost like an open house that you have never seen before. the me and call has always been for the president down even really dr. people months. and the cabinets resigned. it was in c as patricia using all
9:08 pm
residents. and right now the move is that, you know, we should probably because it looks like the government, the entire 5 in have the many people and the seats. so i think people going in had a lot of respect for the, you know, the structure, the, the people basic you shouting, saying that this is our property. do not discard because we will be paying for it. today the level of risk doesn't protest to being held across the us by abortion right. thanks of it's, i know you're in washington dc. civil rights groups have organized march and the sit in the white house, the live pictures, the cooling on jo biden's administration to do more to protect abortion access in the wake of the supreme court decision 2 weeks ago. to overturn roe vs wade ruling
9:09 pm
on friday. the us president for the executive order, protecting access abortion meditation. bringing rosalind jordan, who joins us live from washington. d. c. the side of where one of those protests is still going on. rosa linda day of demonstrations and many different cities tell us more. that's right, a day of demonstrations across the united states, calling for the u. s. government, and namely the bite administration to pull out all the stops and try to make a right to abortion, the law of the land. but that is a difficult challenge because congress makes the laws the president can only signed them. and for something of this import, you need congressional support. now, while the biden administration is argued that what people need to do is to vote in enough democratic house representatives, as well as enough democratic senators,
9:10 pm
in order to get that kind of legislation passed the demonstrators who were here in lafayette park in the past hour, argued that isn't enough. they basically were here in the past hour on lafayette, tom park and across the street on pennsylvania avenue in front of the white house, calling on the administration to actually be more aggressive in trying to codify abortion rights in the us. they accused the biden administration of ignoring all of the alarms indicating that the u. s. supreme court was going to overturn roe vs wade, which is the court decision from 1973 that made abortion legal in the u. s. instead, they say that the administration should declare a public health emergency in order to guarantee that people who are pregnant are able to obtain abortions, as well as make certain that medical providers are not held criminally liable. as
9:11 pm
is now the case in some of the usaa some parts of the us. what we just saw were members of the u. s. park police, basically clearing of the fence. demonstrators had tied bandanas saying hands off our bodies to send a message to the u. s. president joe biden, that they are serious about needing abortion rights to be made legal in the us. but we should note the u. s. president is not here. he is away for the weekend. now, for their part, the demonstrators who have numbered about a 1000 or so people at the peak of the about, we're also arguing that the democratic party has been taking their support for granted for too long. and that they said that they need to see more action coming from democratic politicians in order to try to break their goal to fruition. so a rainy day here in washington, a stormy day in washington, matched by the stormy emotions,
9:12 pm
the anger that these demonstrators say they feel now that roe vs wade has been overturned. mostly, when joe biden signed that executive order in hopes of safeguarding access to abortion clinics. some, he told the supreme court to basically bring it on a, remind us, how divisive reproductive rights are as an issue across the united states. well, this has been an issue, as i said, going back to 973. when a previous iteration of the supreme court codified the right to an abortion on the ground, that it is a woman's right to privacy. that is ultimately at stake. ever since that ruling was issued. those who are opposed to abortion have fought on many legal grounds to try to get to the result we saw 2 weeks ago friday, which is the overturning of roe vs wade. they said,
9:13 pm
and they had argued that this is a matter for states to decide not for the federal government. and already we have seen states putting in to well place laws that harshly restrict or out wal completely a person's right to obtain an abortion. even if there is a medical crisis, even in cases of rape or incest. and so what the demonstrators who were here in the past, i, our a couple of hours we're arguing is that that is in humane. that reversing roe vs wade in effect is an attack on human rights in the united states. and they said that they are now going to be picking up the gauntlet to try to make it possible for people to take care of what they say is a health matter without interference from any government, whether it's federal, state or local wilson children, i'm what is that clearly an extremely wet a day, a protest i am washington dc. thank you. i have plenty more handle and use our
9:14 pm
including contenders. throw that hats in the ring as the race begins to replace boys johnson to become the case. next. prime minister the homes destroyed by war, we meet ukrainian seeking to rebuild what they've lost in sports, a new home for this, for morale, madrid star. and it will be here with that story. ah, hello most cars confirmed he's terminating, he's $44000000000.00 takeover of twit up. now the social media company says it will su, tesla c 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 uses the company of failing to provide information about fake
9:15 pm
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 of not having to make that 1000000000 dollar payment for many. the focus now turns to stocks and whether twitter and tesla, which must owns will take a hit by the investors. want to see must just get back to focus in the past. the space acts because twitter from the beginning, you 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. must said the acquisition was
9:16 pm
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 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 tomorrow him al jazeera or i for more or less. let's bring in william cohen who's a former mergers and acquisitions investment banker. he joins us from nantucket, massachusetts, thanks for your time, sir. firstly, can i ask you from a business perspective why you think it must got cold feet when it comes to this deal? well, i think he probably decided that $44000000000.00 or 54 dollars and $0.20
9:17 pm
a share for twitter was too much. he probably tried to negotiate a lower price with the twitter board of directors and was unsuccessful because of course he signed that binding merger agreement on april 25th. so i think he's been looking for a loophole or a back exit ever since we led to believe that one of the most successful businessmen in the world didn't do his homework before getting into deep look, the guy is impulsive. often acts childish. this isn't the 1st time that we've seen him behave bizarrely in the context of an ideal. busy or potential lemonade deal as you know, your viewers might recall that in 2018, he pleaded that he was going to take tesla, private at $420.00 a share and had the funding secured for that. those were quotes if his words and of
9:18 pm
course that was not true and extremely misleading and got him into some trouble with the security exchange commission. i think some people thought this time would be different because, you know, between january and april, 2050 actually acted very professionally. and it was clear he was taking the advice of his advisors, the bankers and lawyers, you know, to get to that point ever since april 25th. he's been acting like a petulant child and looking for a way to get out of it. and obviously, now he's gone and done it after you know, 2 and a half months later, i can legally back out of this without having to fork out a huge amount of money in the home with this penalty. look at everything is the negotiation. you know, a merger agreement while signed and appearing to be binding. frankly,
9:19 pm
it's just a document that can be further negotiated. if he decided he wanted to lower the price, he would have made that recommendation or that offer to the twitter board and they could have amended the merger agreement. and now, you know, potentially you've got this $1000000000.00 penalty has to pay as well as a potential additional litigation. but i think in reality, twitter is not going to want to get into a lot with the world's richest man. so they're going to try to figure out a way to settle this even will try to figure out a way to pay less than a $1000000000.00 and put or will try to figure out a way to get them to pay more than a $1000000.00. but i don't, i mean, i think this deal is over. that's probably the best thing for twitter to be honest though terrible for twitter share have shareholders in the short run. but know now
9:20 pm
it's just a question of how both sides put this behind them and pretend that never happened. right? that was going to be my next question. what does twitter, what it's worth? you gotta learn from all of this. the thing, look, i think twitter is going to be better off without the alignment. you know, it's going to be god, you know, shareholders are going to suffer. now there's no question about doc is going to trade down considerably as many tech stock have in the us. so there's no getting around that. but, you know, not having much telling you what you're going to do, or who can be on the platform or who can't, or, you know, making a case for freedom of speech, etc. all that was a load of, you know, one big head fade big story, right? you know, so it's going to be better for twitter to be on its own. right. you know, talking about a certain nicole sums of money for something that's so much a part of our everyday life. i mean, twit has got an unusual business model,
9:21 pm
doesn't it? it doesn't actually make that much money. what potential do you think it'll much for in twitter in the 1st place? well, he's got $100000000.00 plus followers. it's the greatest megaphone. you know, he could ever hope for anybody with that many followers on twitter, you know, get a lot of attention whenever he or she wants. so i think he thought, hey, i'm the word we just guy. i have $230000000000.00 was you know, $4044000000000.00 especially when i can borrow a lot of it. you know, i think he decided this would be a fun toy to have. he realized the overpaid by many billions of dollars. ready and head buyer's remorse, and like a petulant child, decided he didn't want to do it anymore. and now he's gonna try to get out of it. and he may very well. and the question is, is how much does he have to pay to get out of it? as could be an extremely expensive venture to backtrack out of william kind of
9:22 pm
great to speak to you with him carrying that full mergers and acquisitions, investment banker speaking to his life from nantucket. thank you. now the police chief in the japanese city of nara, where former prime minister soon so abbe was assassinated, says he can't deny there were problems with his security abbe was shot while speaking at a political campaign event on friday. police investigating if the gunman named as 41 year old tatsu ya yama gummy acted alone. florence louis reports young and old. they've come to pay their respects to former prime minister sions. obey gunned down at this very corner of nora city, just the day before. mourners have laid flowers, beverages, and written tributes, thanking our bay for his service protocol. oh, i am really shocked because i thought ave would continue his efforts to make the country better. my child's name includes the turn, cooney,

9:24 pm
a bold way for it, for japan, economically and diplomatically. a born strategy sinker always cried 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 or did it last eternally. i'm not exaggerating. he remembers people once met, he wouldn't forget doubts his personal charm and pro tributes have poured in from around the world. the un security council held a moment of silence and us president joe biden has ordered us flags to be flown at

's party members will be thinking whose best place to win the general election into your time, whose personality can cut through to, to intellectual. that's often your c knows pretty disgruntled and disenfranchised with your politics. after receiving markets, a list of increasingly unknown characters who were lining up the leader. that could give the conservatives the problem of how to reach voters who swayed just as much by bars. johnson's personality as they were by his politics. the among those confirmed our rank war veteran tom to get hot and attorney general soa braverman,
