fernandez, begins, are coverage from colombo. thousands of people are streaming through the gates of the presidential official residence hair in colombo. as you can see around me, people from all walks of life coming from all over the country, unable to resist the opportunity to come in and see how the politicians lived. i walked through the corridors of this historic building. i look at the swimming pool where we saw those in famous scenes of people jumping in yesterday. once they came through or into this property. now got all the raj, a park to the president, had been put on notice. there was a campaign for 3 months or called, gotta go home, where people are protested from all walks of life, said enough is enough. the art of crisis brought on by the president, his mismanagement by corruption, or was enough that he needed to go. and they said that they would force his hand if

he doesn't do so voluntarily. yesterday, seans absolutely dramatic. never before seen crowds are using their joint strength to make the president and his government leave the key since the dd, when protested. see the president and his government would be forced to step down in by the easily him the announcement a bearing told daughter again a son. so he agreed to act according to the agreement 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 middling bootable roger. so for an economic crisis. 7 fits, made life unbearable for many of the countries. 22000000 people after breaking through barricades is another unprecedented moment. the demonstrators stoned into the presence official residence in columbia.

inside, this is what it looked like. what the president was moved by. he security team to an undisclosed location earlier protested, ransacked his bedroom and took fiddlers on his bed. ah, who in moments the presidential who once reserved to the country's top leaders, appeared more like a recreational center where we had that a lot of money. 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 protested, charged the barricades outside the prime minister's house, which the vincent of lee is 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. and reports that we're hearing from leaders of political parties indicate that the negotiations are on full tilt because the has to be agreement on reaching and creating a national government, an old party government, a prime minister on a vicar. missing a saying that he is willing to resign, but would only do so with the new government in place. now, the indications are that president got arbitrage boxer who has brought a date on his departure. that's the 13th of july. i will be able to swear in the new national government if that agreement is reached a before he exists. so there is a peaceful transition, there is an uncertainty and instability. so that's what's happening behind the

scenes. and we're waiting to hear once those decisions are made. and once they take it forward, let's speak to iran wick romera k. he's a member of parliament in sir lanka previously served the state minister of finance . he's joining us from colombo, welcome to the al jazeera news hour or so. if the president and the prime minister a do indeed step down and resign, would you support those decisions? yes, because the yesterday and there was all the leaders meeting convened by the speaker of the house, and it was almost unanimous that both of them should sit known and there should be a new internal administration. so a new president got a new crime. it's certainly a cabinet and all parties, and then the that should be the next phase and then eventually leading into any direction. but here's the thing you saw that even if the government is replace, there is no short term solution to fix the economic woes. officer lanka,

because you know, the main demand of people are to fight a system that's embedded in incorruption and fraud. yes, they have, i know i said the short term solution. so all the problems the country paid says, however, this has shown these people demand the change, the change is on its way. and therefore the new or so to things need to be done. the media prices and price that. busy people don't have gas shortage is like that. so we would need the help of all friendly country their neighbors in assisting with that. and then we also need to a box for the international monetary fund coming to a stop level agreement. we didn't meet and then going for the necessary funds and that process had begun and that that process can be taken to the process with the i m f, a began before all this political instability was taking place. so do you think that

this of the recent events of the past 24 hours or so does that affect any talks going on with the international monetary fund? no, i would say that the i am in the country and then particular government. that's when i'm in previously had a program even by lever finance and i'm in the country. so clearly i think the change was needed and everybody needs the government except the majority of the people in this country. and i think that's a stablish. certainly there are supposed to says we continue the challenges because we need to get the picture cues and really need that provides for that need, bridging, finance. and then i'll have to undertake the difficult economic reforms that are being called for. and we need to do this because they need and i'm,

this is the way to take the country. yeah. and speaking of these that you cannot make reforms. i mean, as always, with an i am a bailout. that comes with conditions as you know. so are you worried that it, that the people of sure lanka could be hurt even more with any conditions put on them going forward? yes, there are 2 ways to look at this. we had a program previously up to 2019 between the country. we have a budget, then a balance of payments in 20182019 be able to create a primary balance that's through share the same thing. consolidate, raising revenue, and this time it will be tougher because the last look at the cost side and certainly that will create certain problems to be both. so the, i'm every fun program. we have to go with the program to see that and protect the socially why not? but i think this is now understood by much elaborate agency stool. and we need to

target the wider belinda and protect them through direct social program. why did be push through with the response? all right, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us from columbus. at least 14 people had been killed by gunman and a bar in south africa. 9 others were injured and had been taken to hospital. it happened in their non damo settlements. and so at the southwest of johannesburg, catch up a sorry, on has more the overwhelming pain as families are called to identify their relatives. it was after midnight when police say more than a dozen people shot dead by gunman in the bar. neutral hannah's burg bodies piled near the entrance. our victims were tried to run out and escape. what we know is that the assailants just entered into that space, while people entering them open the shorter and only to them. investigators have

described the shooting as a massacre said, didn't anyone know was this, is the gun was to try the gun on our communities and was to call upon communities to actually really indeed assist the police in, bring in to poke those paper tray to the police say nothing was stolen from the business. now their focus turns on catching those responsible, finding out why the victims were targeted to a little bit. so the young al jazeera while the attack comes just hours after another shooting and easter and south africa for people were killed during a shoot out at a bar. and peter of our, it's burg 8 people were injured there and let's speak to william domady. he's the executive chairperson of the democracy works foundation and was deputy editor of the so what's a newspaper? he's joining us from johannesburg. welcome to al jazeera. let's 1st talk about that

shooting and in so, and so what are you learning about the circumstances that led to it? thank you for having be very difficult because you sell the circumstances. so i'm clear, you know what, he's very clear. it's africa as a culture of violence. we, you know, we've been unable to tackle our culture a violence. and secondly, our culture of guns and weapons, you know, guns freely available in the country. and because a company comes from a history are both state filings and then on to your partner movement violence. and also we are cultures that of a violent and you bring it together with guns in 3 circulation. and then, you know, currently a lack of effect of policing in the country brings us this really terrifying violence mix if we have be announcing in the company. yeah. so as you're saying, shooting is not uncommon, uncommon in the country. i mean, give us

a sense of what they're linked to and also how big a problem gun crime is in the country and particularly perhaps and so what are this latest shooting? took place. you know, gun crime really is a very big problem in our country. we also have the circumstances in borders up fully police so you know, so he's also in trucks of illegal guns and weapons from outside of south africa. and then you combine. it's also, you know, 2 already 3 d available guns in south africa. so guns are often use with knives in certain parts of the country as part of crime. and the thing with the crime in south africa is often very violent, is often accompanied. what guns did the other thing about guns also, factually. it is also, you know, some of us societies we come past, you know,

people's identity, you know, sense of power and much as linked to guns has become roads in black communities. i need to like many why, why communities as become so guns become poverty. i tend to teach people and we've been able to associate guns where the identity, particular male identity of the country. so where does the failure lie? in not being able to tackle this issue. and what would you like to see don? you know, the 1st part of the failure, of course, is just lack of pre leasing a breakdown of the rule of law in the company so that it becomes a government failure. failure of the government. firstly, to take the rule of law fears to because of the impact on the country across when i'm from economic point of view from a point of view from jobs. when you see

a government has not actually seen, i think the seriousness of iraq law for the policy of the country. secondly, it's also just society might have a conversation which itself, you know, around guns around silence. and that we really have to make use of violence must make it's not part of the society. i must instance itself from guns and from violence, way to deal problems. all right, thank you so much. william, grandmother for speaking to us from johannesburg. plenty more had on the al jazeera news hour, including we follow the plight of thousands living an unsafe accommodation in lebanon because they're too poor to move elsewhere and, and sport a tight squeeze for the 7th time world champion of the austrian formula, one grumpy.

but 1st, people in japan are voting in an upper house election just 2 days after the assassination of former prime minister oceans obey his liberal democrat party is looking to gain an even greater majority horns. though he reports, even before the 1st ballot was cast, many political commentators have been predicting victory for the ruling liberal democratic party or l. d p. it's 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 sions obey 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 bay has thought a lot about this country, and i hope this election can make as if it's worth while to mean doing. you do go though, there may be more people had one foot for the liberal democratic party of 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. ok cedar strength and his grip on power. it may even see the l. d. p. and his junior coalition partner co mito controlling 2 thirds of parliament, which would allow them to take the 1st steps in amending the constitution. one of our base 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. let's talk more about this with michael pan. he is joining us from tokyo. michael pen. welcome back to al jazeera. so as we heard, and florence is a report, the suspect has now been handed over to prosecutors. inara. just tell us if you're hearing anything additional when it comes to the investigation. well, in terms of the investigation, not too much as come out from official sources today. i think that this is, can probably be attributed to the fact that today is you know, election day here in japan. and so it's, it's probably the authorities don't want to make any big announcements that could be now that could get them accused of, of doing some sort of election interference or something of that nature. so i, from the authorities, it's been

a pretty quiet day actually. and in terms of the upper house elections currently ongoing, how do you think the, the assassination of the former prime minister is going to affect the outcome of those upper house elections if any, at all, well, there may be an effect. and in fact, this is kind of the big question that, that all observers had been sort of speculating about. so in the year 1980, there was a prime minister named mossey. oh she oh, hera, who had a massive heart attack and died 10 days before a major general election. and in that case, although this 40 years ago, there was a master sympathy vote that benefited the ruling party. and so observers are wondering, well is, are we going to see something of the same thing happen in this case with a murder a couple of days ago. for example, will people who became concerned, but this was an attack on democracy. well, that sort of motivate more people,

a higher voter turnout rate, so we're going to be getting those answers pretty shortly. and if it turns out to be a major victory for the ruling party, they were heading towards victor anyway. but a bigger victory for the little party, then this will be something that will very much stabilize the food, me. ok sheet administration. right? and i mean, that's just because the ruling party, the l d p, is generally viewed as the party of conservatism as well as continue a t in japanese politics. so do you think that's the mood on the streets right now? you're speaking to us from tokyo, i mean, we're the japanese looking for a steady hands at this point. that may be very much the case because you know, people are shaken by what happened a couple of days ago. and when japanese feel a sense of threat, that tends to be when they return back to the liberal democratic party and vote them again and again. so that's kind of been the history in the past. ok,

thank you so much michael pan for speaking to us from tokyo. the un says more than 12000000 ukrainians have been forced out of their homes by the russian invasion. many are starting to return and rebuild, but some never left alan fish or travelled north to the village of must can 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 than the russians came. and there was just one lydy as a you can never left as others ran 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. good thing. thing when there was heavy shilling the ground would shake and i would slightly open the door just to see if it was my house or somewhere else. when neighbors houses started to burn, i tried to put out the flames, but there was just too much. she wasn't scared,

she says, a voice told her she would be safe. there was a lot there. i saw 2 soldiers. i saw the yellow and blue stripes. i knew they were ukrainian, and i knew then i could come out swimming in a forest. the devastation in motion is obvious, homes destroyed, ripped apart, and the fighting people are now returning with one charity on hand, giving basics to people who have lost everything. we are providing medical support . we're providing food support, baby food, children, food and also various toys for the kids. it seems simple, but at the other hand, they are very expensive for these people. for the people in the village, the rebuild may have started, but the danger is still here. the used to be able to use the forest any time they wanted, but they see there is no sealed off because that our minds there are no one knows where they are. some cried when they saw the shell of the place. they called home.

but they are rebuilding, we have no choice, this is all the have. thus room below everything we have got to was destroyed you from nothing land to me and they have to start again from scratch. it will take years to listen to that he is a euchre is glad people are coming back. she says it's nice to see old faces. nice to no longer have to hide nice to no longer have a war raging on her doorstep. allan fisher, i'll just either motion ukraine, thousands of people in lebanon's, northern city of tripoli are living in danger because their homes are at risk of collapse. the city has suffered from decades of government, neglect, and instability. a hundreds of families are living in unstable structures because they are too poor to go elsewhere. xena code that has more in just a few moments highly deco lost everything. the 3 story building where his family

of the population into poverty that they're asked by had on there been mo, quote, there's a ticking bomb in tripoli. we, the municipality are doing our job by warning people to evacuate, but a susan is the responsibility of the government. any solution requires money and the lebanese state is nearly bankrupt. but even before the current economic crisis, tripoli was neglected. the united nation says this city more than any other in lebanon, is in need of social housing. there has been no development or investment for decades. many of the buildings are old and haven't been maintained. some were damaged during the civil war that ended in 1990 and the political violence. in the ensuing years. others were built illegally with poor quality materials. government that comes up with and bit that how can you blame those who can't afford construction materials or restoration costs that were already poor and they have

become poorer with the collapse of the local currency? many here know their buildings aren't safe, but they have nowhere else to go. all they can do is wait for the next tragedy. santa who, their elders, either tripoli, northern lebanon, still had on the al 0 in his, our, ah, the race against the government. in argentina as well, where staggering inflation and the mounting economic crisis as united people from both sides of the political divide. and we visit the silent streets of an ancient libyan city that used to be filled with tourists. and then they were a, the quote, a final line up a set for the women's africa combinations will have the details coming up later in sports. ah

hello, we got that extreme heat now building across western parts. if you lots of fine and dry weather, clear blue skies, baking hot sunshine coming through, they were the azores high, now nestled across sir, the british. i'll say we are going to see wins coming in from a southerly direction. as a result of that, things a little more lively, ever towards east and past where there is some unsettled weather and cooler weather around. so temperatures well touching 20 degrees or so just to round to sweden and the baltics between 19 celsius. therefore berlin, it's 10 degrees warmer, sunday, off maybe noticed there in that london into the high twenty's, i. thirty's, there across parts of southwestern europe. and that heat is going to build as we go on through the next day or so. so 31 celsius for paris and for london, warming up there for berlin, mo, grassy those temperatures nudging higher as we go on through the next couple of days. could touch 28 and berlin. by the time we come to wednesday,

ah, with o intelligence and playful ulcers are in high demand is packed in japan, but concerns going over the illegal smuggling and irresponsible breeding of these wild animals. 11 east investigates on all to 0. ah ah, hello again, the top stories on the al jazeera news, our sher length as president and prime minister have agreed to resign after protest, or is over round their homes. the country is struggling with its worst economic

crisis. in decades, at least 14 people have killed been killed by gunman in a bar in south africa. it happens in vietnam zamiah's settlement in so south west of johannesburg. police, a group of men opened fire on the patrons just for midnight voting in japan's parliamentary elections under way, overshadowed by the assassination of the former prime minister. since i've a 2 days ago, abe's party, the liberal democrats, are hoping to expand their majority, staying with our top story, they're political and economic crises in store lanka, gunny shine a week. now raja is from the overseas development institute in london. he says, saturdays, chaotic scenes were the combination of government corruption and economic mismanagement . so yesterday saw people who were hungry and living essentially on one meal a day. and having spent a long time the better cuz maybe 3 nights plus of 3,

my better views went in their frustrations on the government in paula. and it's a timely reminder that corruption and mismanagement have political consequences. the feeling can economy has been undergoing something called stagflation, which is of contraction, as well as 50 percent inflation. some of this is parked by the russia, ukraine conflict, and the timid recovery from the economic effects of covey. but mismanagement has been an important feature. for instance, the board darby, roger bucks and government announce text cuts in 2019, which has devastated revenues just as the economy needed resources to fight the problem of covey. in addition, there was this dramatic switch from chemical to organic fertilizer. and then the wrong advisors were given there were a lot of suggestion that we should not go to the national money to fund to help us deal with budgeting, balance of payments crisis. and then there was corruption. that was any damage in

the roger pucks administration. and all of these issues have led to the dramatic events that we saw yesterday, and changes that may occur in the future. the line up of chandra to replace boris johnson as british prime minister is growing more crowded by the de former defense secretary penny moore. johns has just announced she's launching her bid that follows for contenders who entered the race on saturday. paul reese report. morning . mercy. how do you follow an act like far as johnson? that's what the content is for the job of next. british prime minister, a trying to work out the side, whether she soon i could, chancellor until last week. and one of those whose rebellion falls. johnson out looks like the front runner. we can set the tone as he launched his bed with a slick video station. let me tell you a story. it details his indian grandparents arrival in the u. k. t via east africa . and the video is high on emotion,

perhaps to show his conservative party colleagues that he can relate to voters. if your story matter known in the short term, it's the conservative policy which will select the next leader, long term. it's voters who will decide some people, one big personality, just like always, other people are going to be looking so many can stand on the world stage. the conservative party n p. party members will be thinking, who's best place to win an election into your time? whose personality can cut through to, to an election that's often seen as pretty disgruntled and disenfranchised with you . politics. after receiving markets, a list of increasingly unknown characters who are lining up to 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 iraq war veterans home to the heart, and attorney general sewell at braverman. su not was heir apparent to johnson for

a long time before his 1000000000. i wife's status as a non taxpayer cause problems from i'm charged with handling the case finances. but johnson often proved the depth of moving on from the mistakes he made in power. soon. not cool hope he can do the same and replace his former boss. let's speak to paul resolve his earnest in london. so it's a pretty crowded field already appalled. we expect mornings in the next couple of weeks i yes. well, so i think it, i could get more names and in the next few days, i think they're in a list. trust the foreign secretary, a one of those expected to announce her candidacy. add just to update that report a bit. i mean it's been after the storm of. busy thursday embarrassed johnson's resignation. we've been somewhat become de paula from these slightly anonymous figures popping up. am to announce that candida says richie sue, not the best known yesterday saturday. that was also at st. g. java,

who like sue not, was one of the ministers. he resigned and sparking the downfall of paris johnson last week, and as he said, penny morden this morning, another person that may be most the electorate would never have heard of the coming . the 9th candidates. and she also released one of these raw, the slick schmaltz, the videos like richie to knock at saying it that it's time for at things to be less about the leda and more about the shape. assuming that said neurological metaphor about captains and ships her being the cats in the conservative party, maybe the u. k. being the ship, hopefully moving on from this sort of personality, politics of boris johnson. and indeed, these candidates pray need to move on from nice personality politics cuz none of them of really shown that personality on the stage at just yet. but the

conservatives might wish at down the line that bars johnson was still led to take the attention be the, the focus of, of scandals. because reports in the press saying that her only conservative party candidates i already briefing against each other, building, am dossiers of potential miss. deeds are looking for extra marital affairs and potential, questionable business dealings that they can expose against each other. so it could be a pretty nasty contest and indeed. busy reports that boris johnson himself, who is of course, still in power, is trying to do everything he can to as sabotage. according to the british press, the bed for richie sooner, his former chancellor to succeed him as a conservatively to on british prime minister. so paul, once voter is get their say, and this eventually had to a general election, what is the public most concerned about in terms of their day to day living?

well, i think living is the is the right words at the rain. it's mainly about the cost of living crisis at the moment. and this is one of the, one of the issues that the candidates will be, will be battling on the tax is going to be a big question. some of the candidates are wanting to increase taxes, some of the candidates wanting to lower them. in fact, so not perform. a chancellor seemed to be unpopular with some of his colleagues because of his policies of, of, of lowering taxes or increasing and windfall taxes for big corporations. it's hot, st and bronze. it is a kind of a social democratic candidate, but it is a, it is a long list, a bit of a nightmare for whoever takes over, dealing with the ongoing war in ukraine relationships with russia. and ain't chess waiting lists, healthcare waiting lists the longest they've ever been 6500000 people waiting for

an h s. cat. and so, and as labor market shortages as well. and of course, dealing with the full amount from bricks it, the continuing problems with a northern ireland protocol site. whoever takes this job is not going to be easy for them at all. and before the election and a couple of is and if they win the election afterwards, either. all right, thank you so much. paul reese, reporting from london argentina's government is facing a rising tide of demonstrators as it struggles to rain and soaring inflation and poverty protest. her as from across the political divide, held separate rallies in the capital. buenos aires daniels finer 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 taco man, man with a declaration of independence was made 206 years ago. grateful to napoleon because there is no political future. if you don't build on and strengthen every day,

the things that unites us over ah, that is not the message being heard elsewhere in argentina, both left him right, rich and poor, marched here in board, 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 for members of the current government to be prosecuted for corruption on my left. on the other side of the police, gordon, of those of left when groups and social organizations say the argentine is not biased, then for the international monetary bond and it said alleviate poverty. these marches it from the shanty towns, another 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

safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero, me ah ah. ah. the capital city of the u. s. is home to one of the most polluted rivers in the country. scientists are trying to change that the ana casita river on a coast here of excuse me, as being brought back to life. thanks to muscles. i'll zeros gabe rightly sounds a report from washington d. c. it's a body of water that was so polluted for so long. it was often referred to as

america's forgotten river. but thanks to a slow and steady cleanup effort to anacostia river has improved to the point where aquatic life can actually be seen swimming in its waters. again, this is clear if i've ever seen the water down here. and now the continued improvement, the washington dc river ris with the fresh water muscle and the part clam part, snail like shellfish is creating water. marine biologist from the anacostia watershed society. have released over 26000 native muscles into the river. they act as sort of a natural vacuum cleaner. to cleanse the water muscles are, are filter, filter feeder, so they can help clean the water. one muscle of the size of the muscle we were collecting today can filter between 10 to 20 gallons of water a day. so when you add up the numbers in a year, that's

a lot of water that they can filter. now the muscles filter the equivalent of $106.00, a limping sized swimming pools of water every year. this is what they filtered in less than 2 hours, but forgetting muscles and reintroducing them to the river has had a dual impact, clean the river, and help keep them from going extinct in the united states. we need to work to conserve muscles because greater than 70 percent of them are listed as endangered. threaten or are just like conservation concern. and there's like 300 species of fresh water muscle in the united states. so when you think of like 70 percent of that 300 species, they are great risk help. in many ways, these muscles are coming home because before this river got so polluted, it killed most of them off there more than 80 different types of muscle species that lived here. it was in 2018 biologist started reintroducing them in an

experimental project. and it appears to be working for a once polluted river now on its way back to being healthy, thanks in large part to a most unlikely shellfish. gabriel is on dough al jazeera washington. get an update on the sports and your thera during thank you so much. all the mans wimbledon final gets under way later on sunday. top sig, nobody joclett takes on nick curios. the serv is bidding for his 4th consecutive win bubble title and 21st grand slam title. if he wins, he would be moving past roger federer and just one behind robin adel. and the re 3 crown, the greatest of all time. curious who is competing and his 1st ever major final leads the had to had with jock of edge and he's undefeated against the top seed. and there are 2 previous meetings. the 27 year old is also aiming to become the 1st australian man seal a grand slam singles title since late on hewett 2 decades ago. and because the only

great that's ever been supported me the whole time has been letting you it, you know, like he knows, you know, he's a davis cup captain and he kinda knows that i can do my thing in order for the outcast of the strong players. he knows to conduct the distance and just let me denay and he just send the message here. they're gone. that's what it just rolled on. keep going. but i don't, it's pretty sad because i don't get any support from any of the other restaurants and it was miles on that for me. on the story we're joined by australian tennis, a commentator craig gabriel. and he's joining us live from wimbledon. and we just heard a curious, they're saying that he's not received much support from australian tennis grades. how is he viewed back home by the general public because it is. busy the opinion on nick is divided in australia. i would say it's probably about $6040.00 in his favor,

but it is definitely divided and. and what are you saying about the past grades? he's not wrong. i not know nick since he was 15717 years old and he's a very good guys, a very generous person. but sometimes is antiques. busy on cold or not viewed and in the best possible light i'm. busy that. busy sent me, he has the kids flocking to him, they adore him. he's very good with kids is very good with charity. busy and that people have started to see that and i think things the opinion of nick is turning on and i feel that some of these past great, pat cash just recently came out. absolutely slamming nick. curious for some of his behavior in earlier rounds. i need to just remind them about their own behavior when they. busy were playing and when they were in the heyday people have got short memories, likes of pat cash or john mcenroe illness. tasha whatever seems to be

a gotten pretty easily and they think that nick is the only one who you know blows up during a match. curious and jock that she lay previously had a fiery relationship has not improved. now the relationship was colder than the antarctic to be autism, it is definitely improved. and i think a lot of it changed in australia in january and i spoke with al jazeera at that time about jock of jock of inches issues. and his is coming into australia and then the at the deportation. it was one of the very few players that actually stood up for him. and i know that was very appreciative of that, and it extended his respect to nick and nick said the other day that it's almost developed into a bit of a bro manse, which novak said, i'm not sure about that yet, but they have been exchanging messages on social media and i think whoever wins

might be up to paying a few drink bills after the final tonight and does curious have a chance against talk much today. yeah, he certainly does. absolutely. yes. for sure that no lack is got the experience of playing on this court. he's chasing a 4th consecutive title. you're, if he does do that, you be any the 4th man on the open era to achieve 4 consecutive wimbledon titles, which is an incredible achievement. nay as far as nick is concerned, he is totally in or if this serena, it's like a temple really and he's plain out there. so he has an idea but he certainly hasn't got the experience of jock of it on the senate court. but next, so is going to be crucial and i really believe he's got it in him to actually go through and win the championship power. i guess we'll see craig a rail. thank you so much for our time. for your time elena been
