a people's rebellion insurance anchor force is the president and prime minister to announced their resignations of to protest a storm the homes furious of the nations worst economic crisis. ah, watching al jazeera broadcasting log from doha, cherry johnston also coming up ah, rage against the government in argentina as well, where staggering inflation in the mounting economic crisis. i brought the left and the right together on the streets. poles open in japan's upper house selection under the shadow of the fascination the routing parties, most prominent campaigner, former prime minister, she's or other and we meet ukrainians who endured the horrors of russia's war and

survived. ah, for months should unconcern enjoy the broken economy that's made living hot. and on saturday, furious protested in an unprecedented show of rage of sydney managed to bring the government down. president got to buy it, roger baxter, and the prime minister, and he'll wake them a singer, a both stepping down as a pack civil resign on wednesday. the spectacular fall for a family dentistry that dominated shrunken politics for nearly 2 decades. for earlier protest is broke into the prime minister's private residence and set it on fire. that was hours after tens of thousands of people stormed and ransacked the president's official residence. a protest, as it was seen that going through the president's private possessions and jumping into the swimming pool as a box of fled the premises just moments before the newly appointed prime minister

announced that he will resign. that once all political parties agree on a new government, cartier lopez, or a young begins are coverage. they called sanity d day when protests through see the president in his government would be forced to step down. they blamed with the buyer roger parser for an economic crisis. this made my unbearable for many of the countries 22000000 people. after breaking through barricades. yet another unprecedented moment. the demonstrator stormed into the prisoner'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 for protesters ransacked his bedroom and took photographs on his bed. the

moment the presidential pool was reserved for the country's top leaders appeared more like a community pool. our government leaders must leave 3 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 anger is rising at 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 forms for the frustration appears to have turned into a movement. there can no longer be ignored because he a little bit of a young to 0 or regional pilot such as india and china looking at the events, ensure lanka closely. the country has to take on various loans,

many of them from china. 5 years ago, a china funded project with more than a 1000000000 us dollars fell to generate the foreign revenue needed to pay basing back both india and china have extended millions of dollars in humanitarian aid. to keep should i because crisis from worsening. let's talk to michael coleman. he's at south asia senior associate at the wilson center and joins us now from washington. d. c. thanks for being with his head. now. people want immediate action as we've seen, but that's not likely to happen. is it? i mean, what are we going to see some kind of coalitional care take government, right. you're, you're, i mean, the 1st step is to have more political stability. you need to get these protest and, and that will require a new government. and it does appear that the president will be stepping down and if he doesn't do that, that will be a major issue, major achievement. just because that has been the core a grievance. the court demand of the protesters since day one that go to buy and

must go. so that will help, but indeed there needs to be an interim government put in place. and it only to happen quickly because what the 3 law government really needs to do, what this re locked in government needs, is a alone from ins and the i m. f will only be willing to negotiate once there's an actual government in place. and one, if there's more political stability in place, when indeed you mentioned, i'm asked that, i mean, it does seem to be a bit of a power play. doesn't that between not just, you know, i'm after india and china to when it comes to who's going to rescue sherlock. what are your thoughts on that? right. it's interesting that like a number of country in south asia that are sort of in the middle of the strategic kind of war between china and india. both competing for influencing 3 walker to really doesn't want that. it wants to have good relations with both china and india, but here and benefits from this competition because both china and india are trying to outdo each other to provide assistance to just re law. and india had provide

a significant package chide and they provide some assistance as well. but it's quite remarkable. if you look at the competition a few months ago, china got into an argument with bangladesh over having to pay for fertilizer shipments that had gone bad. and right, when that was happening, that was playing out, india swooped in incentive own shipment of new fresh fertilizer, just sri lanka. you see just how sharp that competition between india and china is in playing out in 3 want. and how much is this to do? is should, on because own mismanagement and how much related to the things like the pandemic and the global a food crisis and prices a good point, are we talking about the geopolitical competitions for lack of and i wouldn't overstate that, i would say it would be wrong to say that, you know, chinese loans are wise re lockers in the vehicle on the crisis. i would argue that you have to look at many years of economic management by the 3 law can government go back to the end of the civil war in 2009. the state had to rebuild. so if it

needed to reconstruct the need to get infrastructure law and took on a lot of loans from the outside, but it couldn't, that it couldn't pay off so and got heavily indebted then. then you had a situation 2019 where the 3 law and government taxes and that left the government with not enough revenue when the 10 demik arrived. and the government kept spending very heavily during the can't even know. and that led to a currency depreciation and ban chemical fertilizer in 2021 that led to left foreign meals. so the bottom line is that you have to look if you're looking at the reasons for this week, another meltdown. you shouldn't be looking at what china you should be looking at, what the street can government government has done for many years to bring this this country to this. very troubling point that at that right now. but they have been huge loans from china and investments in what you might call questionable building projects. oh, absolutely. i mean, i would argue that china is built and wrote initially has centered on for longer to

a great extent with heavy infrastructure, investments, and loans. and it hasn't gone very well for 3 long, quite frankly, and it's contributed to a debt. but my point is that, you know, we shouldn't just think say on the china factor. i mean, i don't want to sort of diminish this, this idea of chinese wounds causing harm to fragile economies like sri lanka. but you have to look at several decades of economic management above all. but indeed, for sure, i think that these loans coming from, from beijing have made a precarious economic situation even more precarious over over many years. so it's certainly of this factor that has to be taken into account. what about a hit caused by the dramatic loss of 2 isn't absolutely, yeah, that's the critical point. and i think that if you're looking for ways out of this crisis and d, as you said earlier, there's no silver bullet is going to take a line. but if the pandemic subsides enough,

and the political situation stabilizes, and if you can get the tourists to come back to 3 log, that could really help them, jack much heat and revenue into the economy. the 3 law because economy, under ordinary circumstances, is heavily dependent on tourism. but obviously to get us back to the 3 law, they can't be concerned about the political violence and political instability. so it's all related. they need to have more political stability. you need more economic stability, but at the end of the day, if you can get more tourists to come, that can be helpful. but any more than that, i mean 3 long needs to get that assistance from the international monetary fund. but all of this is going to take time for sure. as you say, it's going to take time. i mean, what should happen in the immediate future? because frankly, the people are suffering. absolutely, i mean can't overstate enough, just how, how much people are suffering and how long they've been suffering. you talk about people literally standing all day out in the heat,

in long lines to get gasoline over to be told by their government that they shouldn't even bother to stand out there because there's no gasoline at all. so i think that as i said earlier, you need to have, you need to settle the political crisis 1st. that's the 1st step. and it's, i mean, if the president has said he going to resign the coming days, you really need to resign tomorrow. or even today, not one day can be lost, you need to get, have a clear sense of what the government is going to look like. so that they can focus on the important ask if you can recovery. and a lot of the economic recovery will require austerity measures. and i think that the public will be more than willing to support austerity measures if there is a credible, legitimate, and relatively popular government in place. and that's clearly not the case. so long as president roger pox says still there michael coleman. we appreciate your time and insights. thank you. thank you. well, argentina's government is also facing a rise in part of protest as it struggles to terrain in poverty and rampant

100 protesters here in lafayette park in front of the white house. and about a 100 or so have crossed pennsylvania avenue to was basically bring their message to the bike administration. that is going to take a lot more than people's voting in the mid term elections in november to reverse saw this saw decision by the u. s. supreme court. they are calling on the buying administration to be much more aggressive in protecting the right to privacy in protecting civil liberties. and in ensuring that tal, whoever is pregnant and wants to get an abortion can do so without any interference from local state or the federal government. now the organizers had said that they would be engaging in an act of civil disobedience. most of the protesters are staying here in lafayette park across pennsylvania avenue, a basically to bring their voices to what they say is

need 55 seats was already have 70 or 248 seats. and this time around were voting for $125.00. so i think it is going to be fairly as a stable and are sure victory for the current ruling government about how will his death impact a change in the l d p itself? could his faction lose dominance in some way? well, what would happen? i my guestimate, is that a, mr. i, we had a very, very strong influence. are along with a very good tag with mr. also, but as mr. the abbey has passed away, is very clear that internally there could be a power struggle within that faction. which means the stability of l d p itself is stability of mr. shita may be in question. i mean mister r b is to be

a very good. i was a supporter of music shita. ah, and having the biggest faction, he not only had power in numbers, but quite influential in other terms as well. so, you know, this could pop up our division within the l d p, and that would be a very negative issue in a lower her. when did you talk about his influence that what could this mean in terms of since abbeys national narrative as well? well, i think this will be a track that will be followed by many because you can see very clearly from the polls as well. you know, most japanese are with the idea that, you know, mr. avia had initially. so i think the government will continue to pursue this. and rightfully so, especially considering the very strong regression that we're getting from china. and we also understand what's going on in near the russian, beijing, in crane. and we're getting, you know, quite negative issues such as, you know,

surging inflation energy problems, which is certainly the biggest issue regarding the selection as we face today. ok, professor tara, to see to we appreciate your time insights. it's down to 0. thank you. thank you. united nations says more than 12000000 ukrainians have been displaced by the russian invasion. many are starting to return and rebuild that sun never left. an fisher traveled north of the capital to the village of machine to meet a great grandmother who survived russia's assault. by sheltering in her basement. this village used to be home to around 800 people. then the russians came and there was just one that he is or you can never left as others run for safety. she stayed when there was shelling, she hid in her basement for a month. the 72 year old slept here too, with just her cat for company. oh,
