celebrations in shoreline carol's president, got the by roger packs. i submitted his resignation letter from singapore. ah collins or robin, you opting out there? alive? my headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 30 minutes, russian missiles at a city and central ukraine killing at least 22 people, including children. also you as president joe biden signs a declaration with israel, aimed at preventing a wrong from acquiring nuclear weapons. and then they were 5, the u. k. former chancellor rushes sooner tops the 2nd round of voting for a new tory leader. so who's staying and who's going ah, bottom to the program, we begin in sri lanka, where president got to buy

a roger box. our house finally submitted his resignation. after months of unrest, the news led to celebrations across colombo, but the documents authenticity still needs to be legally verified. and announcement is expected in the coming hours. roger, pac sir is now in singapore. after fleeing to the mold is a wednesday under pressure from mounting demonstrations against his rule. prime minister ranita with clamor singer has stepped in as acting president, but protest as want him gone to and they're demanding a new government and the countries deep economic crisis. but al, fernandez, zen colombo, with the latest on roger pac says resignation letter. it will have to go through a very stringent verification process. is what the speaker's office says. that will involve ensuring and making sure that it is what it purports to be. the original resignation document of resident got up a roger boxer, obviously a bit earlier in the day we heard that the president had flown from the mold is to

sing a pole. but here at the protest ground 0, you can probably hear all the sort of speeches and some of the sound from behind. a lot of those speech is still a sort of reacting to that news alert that the resignation has come. so a lot of a sort of silly brain tree kind of speeches, but by far and large there's no a sort of strict curfew, even though we were told that it was imposed till tomorrow morning. so people are going on with things. a one concern is that we were told that outside the presidential secretariat for a few hours has been a number of buses full of military personnel on some with right. yes, some with battens. and that's a bit of a concern as to whether or not they might be deployed in this protest area. no one's got the by roger bucks, his resignation is authenticated and accepted. what happens next? well, the prime minister can hold the position of acting president for 30 days by which

time parliament must elect a member of the chamber to the post. that person will serve out the remainder of roger fox's term opposition parties and protest as a prime minister with from a single must resign and make way for a new government. and he's previously said that he's willing to do so. it's unclear if he wants to carry home retro back, says sri lankan people's friend is the largest block in parliament, but they don't have the 113 seat majority needed to select a successor m a. so my plan is an opposition member of slang because parliament he says, protest is a celebrating roger parks his resignation, but want more concessions. they have been waiting for 5 days now from 9th of july, he gave a promise that he was designing yesterday. and they were so disappointed the storm, the prime minister's office, they want to prime minister also to step down. that call is very clear what they

wanted, what the procedure and the step down we had a party does meeting in parliament then all the party leaders also asked if i needed to step down. but he yes not. but for the moment, i think the people i do believe that they have achieved at least what were the 1st object of being a 100 bucks, i think is, what are you about security in the sense that he did not have it upstate immunity wiley level from one place to another that he might be nabbed for various crimes that he's accused of. so i think he had one, but that color on really got to see of all there is unity amongst opposition parties, but unfortunately the numbers are low in the opposition. when go to your books was elected with his party, stepped into office even even in parliament, and have a near 2 thirds majority. they made up as well. so as much as

a box that has lost the do mercy and had to leave off, he's his party. the p. b also has lost its mandate amongst the people. and he's a russian, i was try because killed at least 23 people in one of ukraine's launch a city called minutes. many were injured as missiles hit, residential buildings and businesses. alan fisher has multiple cave, a desperate dash to save a life, pulled from the debris after a russian missile strike in the tone of v need, sir. it was mid morning when 3 explosions ripped through an office building and to residential blocks. the area was packed. the number of dead and injured significant president vladimir zalinski called it an act of terrorism junior. could a russian rockets hit our city vinegar, a typical peaceful city. cruise missiles had civilian buildings, destroyed residential blocks, a medical center. and there is a fire,

cause were on fire trams. this is a particular criminal act of russian terror. it cannot be done by humans. their barbarians if the ukrainian claims are correct and what was fired with caliber cruise missiles from a submarine that adds to their allegation, that civilians are being deliberately targeted. because these, my cells are known to be incredibly accurate. rarely string more than 4 meters away from the intended target. the attack came just hours after ukraine's foreign minister renewed calls for a special tribunal to investigate, alleged russian war crimes. speaking to a meeting of europe's judicial authorities, the metro caliber says there should be coordination with existing agencies. we have heard a number of reservations since day year 1st floated in the early march. most of them expressed concern that this effort could replace existing international courts and rebels. first weakening them. i want to clearly literate. we did not

have any such intention. countries at the ukraine accountability conference agreed the investigation into the war could take years. but see, it's important any one responsible for any atrocities must be held to account. russia denies it is committed war crimes during what it calls, special military operations in ukraine. alan fisher al jazeera heave to tell the baton jake is the head of the mean. the human rights sent, and she says, the sheer volume of war crimes claims against russia will overwhelm the international courts. we have now and ever launch war crime happening in ukraine. the prosecutor general. what? we're now open 22000 to receiving about war crimes. that's happening in your brain and this is not the final date, because every day you open last 10200, you know,

the war is not going on there. but it was state effect today when, when the stuff where it was work that went to do. but now we have computed the 3 person cute and before it just wasn't several days to go and not back in the see. just if you are in your region where for be a to be killed by a by russian market will be well, right. what can you do happen? and also these numbers, the 900 to 1000, to work crime don't include the data from the occupied territories to which i'm all controlled by the russian army. to reach you right now to get to the general amount of war crimes and say that sense of thousands of dollars. and of course, none of the international more can go with such

a huge amount of work. right. so we understand the majority of them over 90 percent, maybe 9 to why for $99.00 will be investigated and prosecuted domestically is present joe biden than israeli prime. and as a ya la, pete has signed a non binding decoration to prevent a wrong from acquiring nuclear weapons. biden also restate to the earth's position on a 2 state solution for israel and palestine. stephanie decker has more for west jerusalem israel. the 2nd day of president jo biden's, middle east trip started with interim is ready, prime minister. yeah. le, pete. the leaders all smiles at their meeting. top of the agenda iran. signing a non binding declaration reiterating the u. s. is ready partnership. america's commitment to israel security and to ensure iran would never acquire a nuclear weapon based on the other main topic of discussion. israel's integration and the region. israel's piece with his neighbors. these are essential gall.

in 4 years. this trip is less about who is or will be prime minister and more about israel as a whole. it's relations in the region and countering iran. before heading to jetta on friday. widen is scheduled to stop at augusta victoria hospital in occupied east jerusalem. historic in the sense that it's the 1st time a u. s. president will visit a place in east jerusalem away from the old city. he's expected to pledge a $100000000.00 to help palestine in hospitals. but this moment from the press conference possibly won't go down well with the palestinians. your visit to morrow is jerusalem and you won't be accompanied by an israeli official. does this represent a change in your administration's view regarding their recognition after as alarm as the capitol of israel? and if is jerusalem is part of it. thank you. as you, as crushes no occupied east, jerusalem is what palestinian sea is, the capital of any future state and issue policy and present mahmoud abbas may res,

accountability. and now that's become a phony she for president biden. as he visits the region and his administration launched an investigation into a death. but concluded that even though the bullet was likely fired by the israeli military, it was without intention to kill her. now, abu at cleese families have a whitewash. she was wearing a blue helmet and best mot press when she was shot. they've asked to meet president biden on this trip to where those concerns. the latest is that that's not gonna happen. instead, they've been offered a visit to washington at some point. that's not going to stop the questions coming up, president biden, especially when on friday, he travels to the occupied west bank and on the route there actually own the separation will. that has gone up a mule of serene. i will actually to remind him and every one else of her presence here, a presence that is still overshadowing this trip. while his transitional government

the temperature is set to come down as that wet weather works its way through the weekend. now it is looking very wet across bases like the korean peninsula, northeastern areas of china, and russia's far east, where we have had flooding. and it's going to get wet across the we can for japan. if we have a look at that, we've got an area of low pressure ratings and thundershowers down into the south and some pretty heavy rain up into the north. elsewhere across china, however, the heat suddenly dominates central air is still thing some very wet weather though, that torrential rain. pushing into shank dawn once again, much twice down in the south, but pretty hot and humid for hong kong now was moved to south asia. it's all about the monsoon rains across much of india and pakistan, we could see more flooding in the south, but the red warnings a lingering for good. you're right over the next few days. kat official airlines, the journey housing has become a commodity instead of human rights. thank you. somebody will be rude to take

advantage of others. the feel free to violate basic laws, the working classes that have lost a lot of ground in our society. a un special rough or 2 are on adequate housing troubles the world investigating the global crisis. people are evicted to clear the way for investors and properties too often left empty, or witness documentary on a just, you know, ah, the me. there with me civil rahman. reminder of all top stories. sir lincolns had been celebrating in the streets of columbia. the president got the bible baxa submitted

a letter of resignation. the speaker of parliament says the letter must be checked . authenticity and announce what is expected in the coming out with. a russian strike has killed at least 23 people in one. if you find the largest, if you feel that many were injured at myself, that residential building, unused passenger by them is really prime. and if the guy latino has signed a non binding declaration to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, also restated the u. s. positionally to state solutions. israel and palestine. italy's president has rejected the resignation of prime minister mario rocky half to one of his coalition partners refused to support a government bill. druggie leads a broad coalition that's been thrown into crisis as parties prepare for a national election early next year. there was a rainy husband from ferrara, in northern italy, by refusing to accept my idea that i get resignation letter the president surgery.

my tele might have bolstered money that i use government to be able to serve well in the next year when elections are scheduled. or it could just ensure a few more months of the government and that it might eventually fall. and they have to call early elections has yet to be seen. but the prime minister mighty that argued, is expected now to speak in parliament next wednesday, as requested by the president to say what he needs to continue to enact reforms to help push italy out of the worst days of the pandemic. this decision by the ragged offers resignation and my fidel it to reject it caps off a chaotic week in which the fivestar movement, one of the members of the in the government said they couldn't vote in this competence vote. and despite winning that competence, but without them voting froggy offered this resignation, saying he was unwilling to lead a unity government without the fivestar movement. but because that would mean there was no unity. so what we'll be watching for the coming days is how his government continues to rule. if it takes a new shape or not. and what will happen to the 5 star movement which looks

destined to lose many seats in the elections, whether they're next year or later in this year on the sidelines. what we have also are the 2 center right parties vying for power. the rising in the polls, they currently have the most popularity coordinate opinion polls. that's the for tele of italy or brothers of italy and the lead to center. right. parties hoping for earlier election. so they can capitalize on their popularity and they don't want to force to follow the government, but they would definitely benefit from that. british conservative policy, politicians have completed the 2nd vote for a leader to replace bowers johnson. 5 candidates have made it through to the next round, that barbara has more from london will also thursday's voting. the top 3 candidates the same and in the same order. so out in front is richie soon as the previous chancellor, who of course resigned from cabinet just last week and in 2nd place is penny more than he's been gaining momentum in recent days. she's recently been

a trade minister. she's been tweeting out her thanks and also what she said with a quote from a read will focus group people in previous labor voting area, saying apparently that they found it came from the heart when they saw her speak compared to other candidates. she's actually come under fire from david frost, the government's chief bricks. it negotiator, claiming that he'd asked boris johnson to sideline her from breakfast talks with brussels because of what he said was her incompetence. and that is, liz truss former foreign secretary. she the high profile figure, but not quite so popular amongst the policy membership that could count. now we're expecting to see more voting take place up until next wednesday, eliminating one candidate at a time until there are just 2 names remaining. those will go forward to the policy

membership of fewer than 200000 people and they are expecting a result. and hence, a new prime minister to be announced by the 1st week of september. the du, by based airline m. routes has rejected an order from london heathrow airport to cancel flights. the apple management says no more than 100000 passengers a day can depart until september. its been experiencing severe disruptions because of staff shortages. emberts runs 6 slides day from heathrow to deny its accused he throw of blatant disregard for customers and says that ground staff are capable of handling their flights to 20 finance ministers. and central bank leaders are meeting volley on friday to try to find responses to rising global inflation. now these are like features from bali where the meeting 1st session is just getting underway. japan is particularly vulnerable, as it relies on significant amounts of imported fuel ensued. but it's chinese chang reports. there is some confidence that the japanese economy is better prepared,

has followed the lead of the united states and imposing economic sanctions on russia for its war in ukraine. even projects such as the sac helen, to natural gas, joint venture, which it had refused to pull out of a now and a threat. russia recently took over the development and supplies which are essential to japan, could be cut to pans made a real effort to get on to renewables. but even here, they still rely on fossil fuels, 88 percent of their primary energy sources, like everywhere else in the world pump prices of increased between 5 and 10 percent . in the last couple of months with years of pandemic restrictions expected to slow chinese production, its neighbors could also suffer. but here japan's prospects look rather better as asian supply chains reorganize. they're using japanese technology to do so. obviously, japan is being hurt by the incredible cost push inflation. japan is a big importer of energy, is a very big importer of food. and as a result of that,

you know, the purchasing power of the people you know is under downward pressure. but japan is different from the rest of the world because it's got a very functioning and very effective government. japan has been in mourning. the form of prime minister sions are abbe assassinated a week ago. but his legacy of a strong stable government and assertive fiscal policy could be the best defense the government has. in the face of rising global inflation, tony ching alto 0 took you taiwan has conducted its largest disaster preparedness exercise on record. it's simulated, natural disaster and war time scenarios to boost it. civil defense response as tensions with mainland china remain high. florence louis has the story these look like scenes from a movie or possibly a real life emergency situation. ah, but these are merely mock scenarios. part of taiwan testing it's readiness to
