talk to al jazeera, we ask, can you be more specific, how many films are you asking for, and what kind of military equipment we listen, asked the people of cuba in the street. if there is a difference between donald trump and joe bite for them, it's the site we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stall restock matter. on al jazeera, joe biden is set to visit israel, the palestinian territory, and saudi arabia in an ultimate test of foreign policy set during his election campaign. were ending all american support for a french of operations in the war in yemen. what we've done by the actions that we've taken is not to rupture the relationship but to recalibrate as russia and china compete for influence over the region at a moment of great up evil with us, get back in the game. biden, in the middle east on al jazeera, ah,

to shoreline can protest as take over the president's home, as he and the prime minister announced the resignations. ah, i'm all about this, and this is on the 0 alive from doha. also coming up the suspect in the assassination of japan's former leadership. so avi has been moved from the police station where is being held as voters had to the polls. a shooting in south africa is killed 14 people in a so why so bar ah, rage against the government in argentina, where rising inflation and a mounting economic crisis unite the left and the you right? ah

sure. like as president and prime minister say they're going to step done after protesting colombo escalated on saturday. man response to the worst economic crisis in decades, relative calm is returned to the capital a day after chaotic scenes on the streets. and at the president's home. many a still in and outside got a by a roger puck says property. he was taken away for his safety as the demonstrators swarmed the grounds and brought us to set fire to the home of prime minister ronald become sin. linelle flanders reports from colombo. the sent me dd when protested. see the president and his government would be soon to step down in by the evening him the announcement a bathing towel door at dana samson. he agreed to act according to the agreement by party leaders and stepped down. but because he wants a peaceful transfer of power that he has asked me to inform the people of his decision to step down on july 13th at the another. many glean gotta be registered

for in knowledge crisis. this made life unbearable. so many of the countries 22000000 people as to breaking through barricades yet another vincent entered moment. the demonstrators turned into the president's official residence in columbia. inside, this is what it looked like. the president was moved by his security team to an undisclosed location earlier protested, ransacked his bedroom and took 50 legs on his bed. who in moments the presidential who once reserved the country's top leaders, appeared more like a recreational center. and 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 for justice. charged the barricades outside the prime minister's house, which the dandy saint of lays. roger puts his political allies. no, this is a crucial movement for their party. anger is rising, the government's handling of a diagonal crisis. the worst in 70 years. the frustration appears to have turned into a movement that can no longer be ignored. when our flanders is joining us, not from outside the president of roger pox, his residence in columbus. this has been coming after weeks of peaceful protest. we can see some of the crowds behind them and now what's happening how basically there is some water sort of a party atmosphere if i can call it such. 6 the day after yesterday's sort of chaotic and dramatic scenes,

this area was pretty much standing remotely because the building just at the back of be with the main gates that you can probably see people streaming into was that target for people they had put, present good job it, roger pox are on notice that he needed to go in that campaign called go to go home . so for months they had been sitting outside his office saying they wouldn't budge until he leaves. so this was sort of dd after the 9th of july, when they said they'd be marching in and staying quote and he goes. so this was essentially that key sort of target and victory for the protest is. and that feeling, as you can see, all of these people streaming through the presidential residency official residents . not having much opportunity generally to actually walked through the corridors. i see that they were swimming pool you. so people are jumping into yesterday and things like that. so i sort of a celebration, despite the fact that we still haven't had the official resignation of the prime

minister and the president that is in the sort of pipeline rob. and that's really the, as you say, that really is the next stage, isn't it? because is one thing to say that they will do, it is another thing to actually go ahead with a resignation to we know what is going to happen politically in the event that those resignations do happen. that is obviously a sort of a road map which is laid out by the constitution that governs this kind of event. now obviously you have the president having put an exit date that's on his resignation. the 13th that's the coming wednesday. he says he will resign to allow for a peaceful handle of power, the prime minister on a vicar missing. however, sort of putting a caveat on the qualification, on his exit, saying that he's willing to resign. but we'll do so when a national government and all party government is put into place. obviously what

we're hearing, i did speak to a number of political party leaders. and what they have indicated is that negotiations are currently ongoing to bring in that sort of old party government that has to be a busy representation from the parties in the legislature in parliament. and right now they're putting the finishing touches is what they say. so we might see some movement if that guy, national government is ready. what we will find that might happen over the next couple of ours or d is that president gota barrage, epoxy might sweat in that national government before his exit. so allowing for a peaceful handover of power, obviously with present good hobby, roger folks leaving whoever is made prime minister and brings in that national government will immediately assume the title and the position of acting president.

and thereby, the new cabinet will have to elect an acting prime minister. this all aren't in such time that it's possible to have general elections, and these are much more long term arrangements, formulas under the constitution. now thank you very much. indeed, michelle fernandez talking to us from colombo. well, he'll, buddy is the director of south asia initiatives of the asia society policy institute. he says for length is economic crisis is going to dry gone until creditors, including china, provide long term assistance. while china has provided some military id, what's real uncle really needs is definitely, and china is responsible for about 10 percent of sheila death and has not been willing to really engage in the instructions which belong to needs, which also has the floor effects on free lunches other jets credits or conversations, sheila, because that is unsustainable, which is why you can't just have a normal i miss program. it needs to be approved by the executive board. washington

has extended some humanitarian aid, but there is going to be more conversations between washington deli, tokyo and ken for the for members of the quad about what else to do for sure. without a government in place to negotiate with both multilateral and biological printers or have the political commitments needs to be met. this will extend the crisis quite a fair bit longer. people in japan are voting in an upper house election that's being seen as a referendum on the ruling party. the whole is take place 2 days after former prime minister she so abi was assassinated, analissa predicting the results are going to give his party the ruling, little democratic party, and even greater majority florence louis reports. even before the 1st ballot was caught, many political commentators have been predicting victory for the ruling liberal democratic party or l. d. p. it ruled japan almost without interruption since the end of the 2nd world war. it enters the poles with high approval rating, and

a fragmented opposition is thought to offer little competition. these polls take place just 2 days after former prime minister shinto abi was assassinated, inara city. while campaigning are they who was a member of the lower house and head of the l. d. p. 's largest to faction, still wielded considerable influence, and his assassination may result in sympathy votes for the party. i think our buy has thought a lot about this country, and i hope this election can make is if it's worth while to mean doing your good though. who there may be more people had one fought for the liberal democratic party. the assassination was a shocking incident. so i think people, husband, he thought, but i hope they can vote based on their own decision. a surge of support will help prime minister for me. okay. she does strengthen his grip on power. generally speaking, his polls are quite high. ah, but so one thing which is

a dogging him is the rising inflation and cost of living as it is monica in many nations of world. if though the results tonight are act or above expectations, then i think we can definitely say that key she's position will be secured for quite some time going forward. it may even see the l. d. p and his junior coalition partner comb ito, controlling 2 thirds of parliament, which would allow them to take the 1st steps in amending the constitution. one of our best goals had been to revise the country's pacifist constitution, which forbids japan's offensive military capabilities. meanwhile, the suspect in the murder of obey has been handed over to prosecutors inara, where he will likely be detained and questioned before being charged. please have acknowledged, there were security flaws in friday's incident and have promised a thorough investigation. florence li al jazeera. well michael pen,

whom you saw in that package, he's been watching this whole situation for us. his life for us now from tokyo. michael. good to have you back. i did. let's talk about the investigation. first of all, i understand that the, the demand suspected of killings and so on has been moved from the police station where he's been, how do we know anymore about what's happening with the investigation? well, the big question that's been hanging over for the last say $24.00 or 36 hours is a fuller explanation of, of the motives for the attack. and actually something very strange has happened because most of the major newspapers in japan have clearly stopped reporting some of the facts that clearly know. so for example, they, they do report that it was this person's anger at a religious group and all base a connection to this religious group that,

that he was angry about, which motivated him to target all day. but you know, although it's very, very well sort of established at this point that, that the religious group in question was the unification church. the media for inexplicable reasons is not reporting that except in some of the small media outlets. so at the moment that could be because today is election day, maybe they feel that they need to wait until after election day in order to sort of explain more fully what the motives were. so in terms of the investigation, i think that's the most significant point that's come out, but yet not come out. let's talk about the elections themselves. what impact do you think that they investigated the assassination of former prime minister abbey is going to have on how people choose to vote and the elections? well, you know, as the report said, quite quite accurately. the big question is the sympathy vote. now the ruling party

was on track to getting probably a comfortable majority in the selection as it was at least the ruined coalition together. and then the big question we have is, does the, the murder of all bay 2 days ago? mean that does this change voter turn out people who are worried maybe that democracy is under threat so they go to vote, which they might otherwise not have done. and doesn't mean there's kind of a flood of voters who go for the ruling party to sort of symbolize that they don't accept the attack on all day. so there was a precedent in 1980, in which a prime minister died of a heart attack before an election. and that did bring out a waiver of sympathy votes, and we're going to see if that's what happens again tonight on the surface. the election would appear to have been about rising prices, the cost of living in japan and stagnant wages. but underlying all of that is a question of japan security. what is, is the weight of that?

how much is this about domestic issues and how much of this is actually about the wider ins to the wider issue of reforming the constitution? for example? well, i don't, i mean the polls make pretty clear that the public, it is almost divided down the middle on the issue of dividing the constitution. there's no great public way in support of that. but what, where the security issue may play and is in the sense that almost nobody believes that the opposition parties would be credible stewards of the nation to deal with running the country and running the administration. and if you accept that, you know, with things might be a little bit more dangerous in japan's neighborhood. that may bring a lot of voters over to the ruling party and the liberal democratic party. feeling that they're really the only ones who can govern competently and keep the nation secure. so good to get your thoughts on this micro. we appreciated micro pen talking to some tokyo thank argentine as governments facing

a rising tide or protest as it struggles to rain in soaring inflation and poverty. protesters from across the political divide held separate rallies and the capital one said is a swallow reports. argentina, united facing its problems together, that was the message to the nation given by president alberto fernandez. speaking in the northern province of took a man with a declaration of independence, was made 206 years ago, rifle to napoleon because there is no political future. if you don't build on and strengthen every day, the things that unites us total ah, that is not the message being heard elsewhere in argentina, both left him right, rich and poor, marched here in born osiris and across the country, separately, demanding different things. but both unhappy with the government. what should have been a day of celebration in argentina has only served to show that the divisions in society

here, here to my right in front of the government house, is a protest calling from members of the current government to be prosecuted for corruption. and on my left, on the other side of the please gordon, of those of left when groups and social organizations say that argentina is not high, is that for the international monetary fund? i didn't said alleviate poverty needs more to that from the shanty towns and other marginalized communities, low paid workers calling for the government to invest in jobs, schools and housing not to pay its crippling debt to the international monetary fund. not did enough in my that they should pay or pensioners for youngsters education, health care for our families. instead we're paying the external day a fraudulent debt motion t, there is this year due to pay $19000000000.00 of its debt to the i. m f. o. these protests is from more affluent neighborhoods accused the government of mismanagement corruption,

reserving shlang for the former president and current vice president. christina fernandez, the kitch. now we are marching to get rid of this government. you can see how divided argentinean. sir. christina must go depressed in moscow. they should all go . analysts predict that inflation leafy will be more than 70 percent poverty and unemployment arising. the economy minister resigned last week and confidence in a divided government is waning. all this makes argentina vulnerable to the rising fuel and food prices hit you much of the rest of the world as those prices continue to rise. the divisions are new, like you to deepen. can you schlander al jazeera when osiris. 2 is still hadn't al jazeera, some of your cranes, 12000000 des space people are coming home. we're going to have more on what they're returning to ah,
