on a new government. michelle fernandez reports now from columbia on sunday relative. com return to she lanka protested remained, and the president 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 go toby raj boxer on friday. and the sheer number of people trying to get in to see the president's 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
7:03 am
staircase. there has been structural issues. 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 protested essentially overran 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 room 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. yeah, covered today actually langkow a. he is no longer the president of sri lanka,
7:04 am
long he has been expelled by the citizens ish, her lanka, therefore it is, is victorious moment dennis o vishal resignations from leaders for a nation in rebellion. now, little more than formalities, this is going to be an extremely critical time to ensure those political stability, as well as economic stability at a time where there's also a law and order situation erupting. so if, while islands 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 pandemic bought 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 sri lankan,
7:05 am
it's not clear yet whether the shortages will end and prices come down. minova enders, audra 0 colombo. well, aaron, victor martinez is a member of parliament entree. lankin also previously served as state minister of finance. he says the process of change is just beginning a few things made to be done, the immediate prices since they cannot be prices that. busy people don't have gas and shortages like that. so we would need the help of all our friendly countries and neighbors in assisting with that. and then we also need to talk with the international monetary fund, coming to a stop level agreement with the week. and then going for the necessary reforms and that process has begun and that that process can be taken to the i am in the country rather than particular government. we've been, i'm it previously we had to program even by level finance and i'm in the country.
7:06 am
so clearly i think the change was needed. i missed and everybody in the government except the majority of the people in the country. and i think that's established simply, they're supposed to be to continue the challenges because we need to get the picture cues in the need that even provides a need 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 are needed. and this is the way to take the country forward. there are 2 ways to look at if we had a program previously up to 2019. there are 2 in the country. we have a budget to ban a balance of payments in 20182019. be able to create the primary balance that's through share discipline, fisco, consolidation,
7:07 am
red thing revenue. and this time it will be tougher because the last have looked at the cost side and certainly that will create certain problems to be both. so the, i'm a pre fun program to go with the program to sheet and, and protect the socially wider. but i think this is now understood by much elaborate agency stool. and we need to target the vulnerable and, and protect them through a direct social program. why don't be push through with the response, a residence of serious last rebel held enclave have lost access to vital aid. have to be un security council failed to extend authorization for cross border deliveries. that deadline to extend un assistance through the bible holla crossing on the ferry intact border has now officially passed on friday. russia veto to resolution to prolong those agents for another year. the u. n says more than 4600 trucks carrying mostly food have taken a there this year, helping some 2400000 people. about 1700000 people are currently living in camps.
7:08 am
more than half of them are children. and since losing control of the enclave, the government has cut off basic services and attacked medical facilities and schools. who still, let's see on the left, russia pushed us to hint to hunger 1st and hate. and now they want to deny us the food a basket that bailey sustains us behalf of the month during these very difficult times. russia is fighting with us over it. we completely refuse this veto. i am the mother of orphans, and i refused russia putting forward any plan to close. bob, i'll have a crossing. our society refuses it. well, let's not bring in candy up. he is a humanitarian worker, and the coordinator of the voices for the space syrians for him. he joins us now from godaddy have in turkey can on. let's start with a situation on the ground that as it stands, the deadline has now officially passed, but i do believe that a delivery is actually stopped a couple of days ago. well, we did have some confusion talks, but again,
7:09 am
how long with that class without having a score same inside syria. as you mentioned in your report, we have 4000000 people living in a small bucket that the they are unable to move and it's or responsibility to respond to their needs. can i say that the negotiations about access are set to continue? but i understand that russia actually propose some sort of 6 month extension last week, which aid groups when keen on, can you talk us through the thinking that sure, well again, we were talking about the water people thinking immediately of just trucks moving from one company to another, but in reality it's way bigger than that. we're talking about again the whole basic services like clean water drinking water education. this will be the whole health system is based on the response on the work of the organization
7:10 am
and without a correspond resolution. not only those servers will not be provided or like again, as you mentioned, as of now we have by accused out of how we are able to continue. but again, on top of that, it's the whole mechanism when we have the coordination and technical support from us agencies. for example, we're talking about vaccination probate vaccination. if you need to do, the joining principle was not involved through the cross water mechanism. we weren't able to, to respond to that. it is a very accurate component of it, but it's a whole system is crucial for the, for the living of those $400000000.00 of course can. and i understand that moscow was actually talking about a potential 6th month extension, and that's potentially still on the table. so why we're a groups not keen on that idea that so this is exactly what is what i was mentioning. we're not a get it. we're talking about programs here and sing on hand. i mean, it, it's,
7:11 am
yeah, it will end well, but with the beginning of the winter, or how are we supposed to plan or for who is our response with only 6 months or as you know, like the planning for responding to this huge demand requires. but again, the cost program that i could love definitely more than 6 months. i can. and just taking a bit of a step back here, this is all obviously happening within the context of the ongoing war in ukraine. do you think that the political wrangling around that is putting lives at stake here? honestly, like what i was editing the, the session. it was again, it was very obvious that this is a political, a sort of a conflict rather than carrying about those who are in need. this is why we, we keep saying that we need the process, what her operations. we need to find
7:12 am
a way to depos decides if that's the correct term for human, sorry, and responding to return needs for from politics. russia is using the waters of us as an additional claim card. and at a certain point, the, as you mentioned that i had said that, along with the u. k. and france decided that this is not a way to just keep, you know, blackmailing the address of the community, deb on or in the just to just to have some legal gains on, on the extent of responding to those in need. financial advisor, monitoring waka and the coordination of the voices for the space, syrians foreign speaking to us from ga santa. thanks so much kinnon and we wish you all the best with your wack. thank you very much. now south africa, the president has condemned to 3 separate shootings that killed at least $21.00 people. calling them unacceptable and worrying. the west incident was in a bar and to west on the southern outskirts of johannesburg,
