are official. now fernandez reports from columbia. on sunday, relative com return to she lanka protested, remained at the president's official residence making use of facilities normally reserved for the countries elite. a real carnival atmosphere here at the president's official residence. the great facade you see behind me, you notice the architecture, it goes back many, many decades. and this was the sight of that massive sea of people who overran this property. seeing the exit of president guitar b roger boxer on friday, and the sheer number of people trying to get in to see the president house is posing a real problem. those who are part of the protest campaign who are still trying to control some of the crowds are urging people to be careful. there is structural damage, obviously, a very all property and just cannot handle. the sheer numbers are climbing up the staircase that has been structurally shoes. so that's posing

a very rare problem and the danger and this obviously the swimming pool at the president's house of the water looking very much. 2 worse for the wear, but those iconic pictures of people are diving into this right after the protesters essentially over ran this residence junkers, 22000000 people have for months, been suffering the worst economic crisis. the nation has seen since independence in 1948. the summer heat, worsening electricity blackouts, few of food and medical shortages and years of political corruption moving help on the brook army are the greatest thing. the people and the youth of this country has ever done is to change this man away. he was expelled, chased away, he did not resign. as the protest swelled on saturday, present got up a roger boxer fled his overrun residence his whereabouts are unknown. yet i will do that actually langkow if he is no longer the president of sri lanka,

long he has been expelled by the citizens ish. melancholy. therefore it is, is victorious moment o visual resignations from leaders for a nation in rebellion. now, little more than formalities, this is going to be an extremely critical time to insure this political stability, as well as economic stability at a time where there's also a law in order to situation erupting so, if, while ends is not contained, these concern that this is going to deepen the crisis overseas, remington says, and tourism are the main sources of revenue here after bomb attacks on churches and hotels in 2019, and then the covey. 19 ben demick book, dried up. the recent political turmoil has been a long time coming and is likely to be an equally long time to recover from. but for millions of sheer lumpkins, it's not clear yet whether the shortages will end and prices come down. minova

mendez audio 0 colombo. earlier i spoke to you to send a rosner protest to who was inside the presidential palace in columbus. he says the demonstrations will continue until the president is out. protesting against the government is a right off every citizen. so you've been protesting peacefully for about 3 months and the government wouldn't listen. the president wouldn't listen. so president him, so is the person who made us recapture presidential palace. i don't think it's on law all our loyal customers, but by storming these buildings have you not set a dangerous precedent are not actually we had we had to take measures. we had a big mission as. ready to make the president to step down from his position

somehow. so the president wouldn't listen, that he had not given us any option other than been being this thing. so okay, but now that now that you've taken that option and how long will the protest is actually stay there and yourself? as soon as the president gets down it from his position, we are willing to be willing to be, are ready to move out from the presidential palace and give the give this emphasis back to the government or mission demo is executive director of a very, to research a think tank that provides a strategic analysis for asia. he joins us now from colombia, thanks for being on the program. so we see these protests inside the presidential residence. so in practical terms, who's in charge right now? thank you. carry. this is the time when parliament really has to assert its leadership in sri lanka, bought the president and the prime minister to have lost credibility. and the

president's party has lost credibility. and i think it is very similar to when days the election a dead defeats the incumbent president. that has happened several times in sri lanka, where the minority government with a new president is allowed to make decisions for the country. because it is clear that the popular mandate has changed, that happened in 2015, and it happened in 2019. so right now, i think the opposition has to step up to the plate and nominate someone to be president and prime minister. and parliament must agree to that in the interview. the constitution provides that the speaker will be in charge and i think president until a new president and prime minister appointing. so given what you say, how much distrust is there from protest is over whether power really will be relinquished. i think there's a great deal of suspicion because the resignations did not happen immediately as

they should have. and the time buying exercise can be seen as a cynical process of waiting to try and change the outcome. but the protesters, i just tell you, interview was saying they're not going to give up until the resignations are formally submitted. it is very simple because the constitution defines the process, the moment that happens and bought the prime minister president resigned. the speaker would become the acting president that gives a measure of stability and space from the opposition in parliament, then to dominate alternatives. but whoever does take over won't be able to come up with a sudden fix will they? i think the most important thing for sri lanka now is stability and credibility. the enormous lack of credibility of the current government for its corruption, its brutality. it's bad policies reduce the popular approval

rating of the government to 3 percent in polls backed by dan last month. that's no longer a democratic representation in the country. so really establishing more credible and a stable government without obstruction from the president's party would really enable the negotiations on economic solutions to go forward more credibly and speedily. then they would, under the current circumstances. but these things won't happen quickly, will they? i mean, will the international monetary fund, for example, be the most likely place for sure, aren't going to turn to because the people are suffering right now. the discussion to the i method on going of the i met as a demand nutro to the political leadership and they're working with the bureaucracy even now. but they do need to see political stability and credibility established.

and the i m f is not enough. buster lanka, we need to restructure our debt, that's a long process. so alleviating the problems of the country fully is process that'll take at least a year. but in the interim, bringing confidence and trust in the government, the lord can unlock the bridge, financing and support for sri lanka that can reduce the shortages that are causing extreme pain and difficult for society. and is there any clue as to the current whereabouts of the president and prime minister? i'm afraid that i don't know. i hope the 5th and end in 31 cup. i think we must follow the process of justice being done in the proper way with regard to the actions and, and violence of the which we saw against protest, i think is extremely dangerous. it can prompt violence from protest. those who have

up to now been extremely peaceful to me, saw the prime minister's house being burned down. practice does being b, maybe i being meeting all these extra violence, i think need to be reversed or not. they can fall with any any more than they are up and right now with a mission to mal executive director of very tate research. thank you. thank you. in just under 2 hours time residence of a serious loss rebel held enclave will lose a vital aid of the un security council. failed to extend authorization for cross board deliveries. are you an assistance arrives through the 5? how are crossing on the syrian purchase border? but that will now stop, has russia vetoed resolution extending age shipments for another year. un says more than 4600 trucks carrying mostly food have taken aid there this year, helping some 2400000 people. about 1700000 people are currently living in camps.
