right, i'm right opposite the entrance to the presidential residence. that is the gate that you see just behind me with cloud crowds milling just outside. now there's thousands of people who keep coming in streaming in. 5 to have a look property basically they're being sent in sort of batches because of you just can't handle the sheer numbers. in fact, even structurally that are dangerous to have such a big crowd going in narrow corridors, wouldn't stack cases all of that. so the people have been sort of taking the opportunity to come in, sort of keen to see how their politicians lived. because this is very much a symbol of the leadership, the official residents of the president. and obviously protest her st. at the, to the official residence board recognizes as part of the struggle grounds. and

they will occupy these premises until such time that they actually see present gotta be roger boxer, resign and leave office. so let's just take a look. we did go into those premises and have a look at some of the facilities there and how people are going into those. and taking a look on sunday relative. com returned to she. lanka protested remained and the president official residence making use of facilities normally reserved for the countries in the arena. carnival atmosphere here at the presidents, official residents. 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, 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. there has been structural issues so that supporting a very real problem and the danger and this obviously the swimming pool at the president's house. ah, the water looking very much worse for the wear, but those iconic pictures of people are diving into this right after the protesters essentially over ran this residence to long as 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 raja boxer, fled his overrun residence his whereabouts are unknown yet i would do reports v langkow if he is no longer the president of sri lanka long he has been expelled by the citizens issue lanka. therefore, this is victorious moment official 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 ends is not contain these concern that this is going to deepen the crisis, overseas remittances and tourism are the main sources of revenue here after bomb

attacks on churches and hotels in 2019. and then the covey 19th pandemic bought dried up. so men out to, we know the whereabouts of the officials and when exactly they will be resigning. so in terms of present got arbitrage parks. no clear indication of where exactly he is. there's loads of speculation. there's a lot of chat on social media of from visuals that one saw of 2 navy vessels a couple of days ago. loading luggage in a big mighty hurry. people thought that present got up roger parker was leaving by ship. ah. then there are stories that he is seeking refuge in a military camp in the north east of the country, a big naval base. that also has an exit route, obviously, as he agrees through there yet others who say he's in

a massive military defense compound, which is near parliament just outside the city. but there is no confirmation as to any of these claims. now the one thing that we have heard officially in the sort of recent a few hours, is that the president go to bed. roger boxer has officially indicated to the prime minister on his picker maslanka that he will be stepping down on the 40, on the 13th that is on wednesday of july. i not much we have in terms of the prime minister. he has given an indication that he will resign, but width run over, grimacing her. you can't be very sure there's a caveat. he says he will resign as and when there is a national government in place to take over. he has highlighted the fact that there can not be instability in terms of the change over. and for that reason he says that must be

a process that with must been placed before he hands in his resignation. now that the lot of negotiations from hearing from leaders of political parties, i've spoken to a few of them are essentially they had talked about different options. because the moment present gotta be roger vox said resigns. according to the shall uncle constitution. it is then the prime minister that takes over as acting president. now in a situation where there are overwhelming calls for ron novick promising her also to go, a people are just not going to swallow. very likely, the fact that run over grimacing her takes up with lindsay. bear in mind there was a huge, ah, sort of a reaction even when he was sworn in as president. particularly being the fact that he was watered out of office in terms of his parliamentary seat. so those are all the things are going on in terms of the political process that needs to kick in and

a few decisions to be made. and we're waiting to hear how things were progress there with her are. okay, thank you so much for now. fernandez reporting for us from colombo, the body of former japanese prime minister oceans obey has arrived at a tokyo temple. his wake will take place at bezos ye temple. on monday evening, with a funeral of her family and close friends on tuesday. our bay was assassinated while campaigning for local elections on friday. police have acknowledged security lapses . the prime minister from your casita has vowed to continue working. sions obeys, campaign promises. i been with a saudi no more. you inheriting abbeys, legacy, especially the constitution amendment, which he put so much of as if it into i will work on challenges that are by could not solve on his own or on that he thought he mule smith. i'll continue working and bring a bright future to our beloved comfortable hand, which are bay loveday, too. we need to pass this legacy to the next generation ink, you know. so kasey,

this made that speech after japan's governing party and its coalition partner won a 2 thirds majority in sundays, parliamentary elections. it paved the way for possible changes to the pacifist constitution, which would stretch. and the military's role on the global stage. that was a goal of former prime minister, sions. obey who was shot dead at a campaign event. on friday, florence louis reports japan as a nation in morning, after the assassination of its former leader shouldn't obey on friday. but fritz, governing liberal democratic party, a glimmer of good news after sunday's upper house elections. the l. d. p has been the dominant party since the end of the 2nd world war and had a high approval rating. going into the vote. ave was a member of the lower house and still wielded considerable influence as head of the l. d p largest faction. the results will help prime minister kish dad consolidate

power. the strong election showing will give him a chance to increase military spending, revising japan's pacifist constitution. one of our base unfulfilled ambitions is also likely to be on the cards. although analysts say amending the constitution will not be an easy process. and also louis tortorelli's. there it is still unclear how to amend the constitutional and which parts of it need to be amended. even amongst those in support of constitution amendment opinions very a lot of the can't be a quick change of the constitution. even any blocking 2 thirds of the seats can't do it. the japanese people will vote on it, and it is hard to pass. meanwhile, the suspect in abe's assassination has been handed over to prosecutors inara, where he will likely be detained and questioned before being charged. police have acknowledged, there were security flaws in friday's attack and have promised

a thorough investigation. florence louis al jazeera. let's make to michael pen, who's the owner of ocean gets her news agency. he's joining us from tokyo, thanks for being on the program, michael pan. so what is the strong showing in the upper house election? tell us about the prime minister and his ability to define his premiership going forward. well, it's basically all good news for the prime minister. so your key shita because, you know, in the wake of this election, he has confirmed to to the nation and perhaps even more importantly to the ruling party, that he can be a vote winner. he can be an election winner. so that means that for example, all of the back bench lawmakers, the ruling party who, whether they agree with his more moderate stance or not, they cannot deny the fact that he can keep them in office, especially if there are more marginal politicians. this is very good for him, right. so what does it mean in terms of does he have

a big enough mandate to carry out certain reforms and inflation for one, which obviously people are suffering from in japan? well, his own policy, his own initiative, is called new capitalism and it's supposed to make lives better for ordinary people . this is kind of, you know, he put his own stamp on this. so i do think that with this election victory under his belt, he can now perhaps be a little bit more ambitious than he otherwise would be in, in trying to push toward his policies. but frankly, we're not exactly sure where kishana will exactly put his own stamp. his party wants to go in one direction. and he may go along with that to a certain amount. but he may also have his own unique agenda, which he will sort of unveil in the coming months. what about proposals to to amend the, the u. s. drafted pacifist constitution. i mean, we know that this was one of the goals that was pushed by the former prime minister

who was assassinated, but it was retained by to see that as well. so how likely is it that there will be any movement on that going forward? there will definitely be movement on it, but whether that movement goes all the way to actually trying to pass it through the legislature and go enjoy a referendum of the people the majority referendum. it's not so quite so clear yet . you're right that this was very much at the very heart of she always legacy. but she to himself comes from the other wing of the party, which was not so focused on that issue. he, she does more interested in sort of bringing economic benefits to the people. so he's gonna have a compromise with the ruling party. but it's not exactly sure but clear how far that can go. and as i said in the package, it's going to be very difficult to coordinate with the other parties exactly what the change will be and then to move forward on a campaign. so there's a lot to be done before. we actually would see constitutional revision. got it.

okay, thank you so much, michael pen for speaking to us from tokyo. i give people living in syria's last rebel held enclave in the north. have lost access to the vital aid that's after the un security council failed to extend authorization for across the border deliveries the deadline. to extend un assistance through the bible, how a crossing on the syrian circus border has officially passed on friday. russia vetoed a resolution to prolong aid shipments for another year. the u. n says more than 4600 trucks carrying mostly food have taken aid there this year, helping some 2400000 people. about 1700000 are living in camps. more than half of them are children. since losing control of the enclave. the government has cut off basic services, an attack medical facilities and schools. she now on the job is a humanitarian worker and the coordinator for the voices of displaced syrians forum . he says the scale of humanitarian need in northwest and syria is enormous. they
