lead us earlier. the going to have this session tomorrow to decide who's going to be the new prime minister because now that we keep missing is the interim precedent . they need a new prime minister. it's very likely that an opposition leader will take that role. the will be nominations known by tomorrow, that might be a vote as well. but they also will do is they will start the process of having this unity government that they want to have. because so to speak, i've also called on everyone on the people of sri lanka to have this process as smooth and democratic as possible. so that will be no protest, at least no big rallies. for now, the people who have been on the street for a month, and especially in the last 3 magic week here in the country. now decide if we want to see what the decision will be in parliament, but they are very skeptical about the outcome. i guess that is the question. i mean these protesters have been out for months and months. are they going to now wait in

their homes for something to change? well, they're definitely not going away that they're home. so still have one rallying point and they will keep that occupied. it's sort of a village in front of the presidential secretary and they will stay dear to watch this whole process very carefully. the will be a vote and parliament most likely next wednesday or thursday. and then the new president will be voted in, but meanwhile, of course, you don't, you would expect maybe some celebrations. there were some kind of celebrations last night when his resignation was announced 1st. but i have to say the situation is very much a nation and waiting for things to come. there are still very long accuse people are, have no fuel. people are just waiting to have their lives back together. they have been suffering for such a long time. so there is no excitement whatsoever about this resignation this

official resignation because people really are suffering and they want some real changes still happen. okay, stuff and stuff. and the 1st in lumber or slunk as president got to buy a roger puck says resignation marks the end of a turbulent presidency. that last nearly 4 years natasha game looks back at the rise and fall of one of the country's most controversial leaders. 2 ah, the images of protesters lounging in the pool cooking in the kitchen and making themselves at home in the presidential palace marked the unforgettable and humiliating end to go to buy a raja pac says short lived tenure. a sri lankan president elected in november 2019. he quickly govern the country into a state of destitution and desperation. where the time protesters forced him to resign, the nation had plummeted into an economic crisis,

with no easy solutions in sight. only dabbling either within either did i think that we have told the most powerful president in the world to go home. we have come year breathing tear gas, washer cannons and bloodshed. the protesters have already released a list of demands. they are not requests. these are the people's demands. it was a stunning reversal of fortunes for roger poxy and his powerful political family. he was a 3rd generation politician. his father was a member of parliament and a cabinet minister. his brother served 2 terms as president 2 other brothers also served in the government. roger packs, his supporters credited him with helping to end a 26 year civil war. between the majority in a leave dominated government and the minority tamil tigers. wanted an independent

but what roger poxel cannot deny is his economic policies and allegations of corruption led to dire shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. whatever good will the island nation of 22000000 once had for him and the roger pox, a dynasty is now long gone. natasha name al jazeera will prime minister renella victim. a singer has been sworn in as acting president, the 73 year old hales from one of shoreline because elite families and leads the countries oldest political party since 1993 said 6 times as prime minister. he was involved and talks last month with the international monetary fund for a bailout package and a new budget emitter spiraling economic crisis. but he remains deeply unpopular among many protesters. hundreds of them fought with security forces and occupied his office on wednesday. but bonnie fonseca is

a senior research at the center for policy alternatives. she says victim a thing is facing increasing pressure to step down. orange is that he can continue to keep this office is going to raise even more water to the teen sri lanka. so we need to see a solution which privacy tries to be both pressing face to face and enjoy a peaceful transition on papa. now, next week, parliament will have an election that he's already provided for. so it's very important the democratic process. these are allowed to happen, and parliament chooses the next president by run, he'll be grimacing a continuing in office as acting president. he's not going to saw the media and problems here as president joe biden will meet palestinian president. mike made a bass in the occupied west bank later on friday as he continues his middle east tool. the fast to days focused on israel's relations with neighbors and iran's

nuclear threats. biden and prime minister. yeah, you la peed signed a non binding declaration to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons as cross over to john holman, who's in occupied east jerusalem. so today is all about the palestinians, i believe, as a protest behind you tell us what's going on as quite smooth protest behind naturally. and it's about the killing of the audi 0 journalist at sharina black lake. but it's also just been chatting a bit to the protesters about the killing of other palestinians this year and other years by the israeli military saying that those steps often come with not a lot of accountability or investigation. that's one of the accusations that sharina ob workplace family also made even after an investigation by us authorities that concluded that although the bullet that killed her was fired most likely by an israeli gun, that it wasn't with the intention of killing her. specifically,

they said that that's a white washing. now at this protest, mostly israelis here palestinians in the area. we quoted it because it's been allowed by police just down the road from here and out goes to victoria hospital at president joe biden is actually inside there at the moment, delivering remarks. now a lot been made about the fact that he is the 1st sitting u. s. president to visit east jerusalem outside of the old city. this is an area that palestinians consider would be their capital if they do get their state. now who is specifically asked about this he's, he was off if this change is the perception of past you, it's administrations that jerusalem is an israeli capital, the capital of israel, and he replied shortly, no. so there's been some significance has been put on this visit, visit possibly too much, judging from his own remarks. other palestinians getting anything out of biden's

visit. juliet, why, why they're getting money. being promised to them, a package of more than $300000000.00. subject some of that money to bit being approved by congress. some of that is for the economy. some of it is for peace mission tips. some of it is full hospitals, which is presumably why president jo by ms in the augusta victoria one right now. but i think for palestinians that seem is nowhere near enough that the 2 state solution and a state for them has been pretty low down the agenda of this visit. it's been pretty clear, but that's not what it's really about. even though president joe biden said he was committed to that yet, she said miss open remarks if you didn't see it happening in the near future. and this is quite sort of tagged on to the end of this visit. him going to see the palestinian president mahmoud abbas in the occupied west bank later on today. so though that some financial stuff going on,

there's also being food g cell reception being promised to palestinians in the occupied west bank and also to garza, a lot of the stuff was actually already on the table. there's not a lot new here. and i think a lot of palestinians are going to be disappointed by this presidential visit, what it's rule. okay, for now. thank you. john holman in occupied east jerusalem. joining me now here on set is our white house correspond kimmy holcombe. nice to see you. kimberly. and from foreign policy point of view, it doesn't sound like biden is scoring many points from this tramp my right, if you're absolutely right i, you know, as, as john pointed out of the relationship with the united states and the palestinians, whether it is in the region or whether it is the diaz for a back in the united states has been harmed, some would say irreparably. and it's going to, in many cases, require a lot of work to repair and throwing a little bit of money. several 100 in

a $1000000.00 is certainly not going to do it. i steps in the right direction, but the previous administration, the trump administration, cut millions of dollars 25000000 dollars in funding in fact. and so this might be a step in the right direction, but there's a long way to go. so perhaps the d. aspirin in washington and the united states might be watching this up. but for the most part, it may be foreign policy walks in the united states are watching this and around the world. but beyond that, very few people are really paying attention to what is happening for joe biden on this trip. and that's a real problem for him. there's been no sort of major diplomatic breakthrough. there's no shuttle diplomacy that's going on. and as a result, there are no major headlines. what's really being focused on in the united states right now are some of the big headlines, inflation, high fuel prices, high food prices, that these are hitting, historic highs and people are struggling. and that is

a problem for the president because what it looks like is that he's absent when the people he supposed to be looking out for are struggling. and of course he had to saudi arabia next, where he will be meeting with prince mohammad. been samsung. what do you make of the optics of that? because it was a very long ago when he was calling him a pariah. yet now the white house has repeatedly defended the president's decision to go to saudi arabia. but you're right on the campaign trail. he said that he was going to make this and the saudi kingdom, a pariah estate. and then suddenly, when the fuel prices in the united states are high, b, he's making a trip us. so what the white house has been saying is that no, no, no, no, he's meeting with a range of leaders, including the saudi kingdom, but the reality is his meeting with the saudi king for about 30 minutes. and then the rest of the time he'll be meeting with the crown prince. why is that controversial? well, a c, i, a report has said that the crown prince potentially,

i did approve killing of washington post journalists, jamal co shows you back in 2018. and so that is what americans are focused on. they're not entirely happy with the president, potentially going back on a promise. so they're going to be scrutinizing this very carefully. and why are they going to be scrutinizing this? they're going to watch to see if he did it as a handshake. the white house, the saying, we're focused on the meetings, not the greetings. and already we've seen the president doing a little bit of a fist bump when he's been meeting people on this trip. they're saying is because of coven, so we'll see if he does a fist bump with the crown prince. potentially. of the bottom line is, is the white house is saying, look at, we're here for security interest. we're here for energy interests. we don't want russia, we don't want china coming in to the security vacuum. that's why we're here. but americans are skeptical. very interesting. thank you for that white house correspondent kennedy hook. it still had on al jazeera why, molly's put

a temporary freeze on one of the biggest un peacekeeping missions in the world. ah, hello there for europe. it's all about the intense heat as another record breaking heat wave, sweet sea iberian peninsula. i was going to push further eastward places like it city, where people have already been enjoying those hot and dry conditions. now, temperatures are set to come down slightly in spain and portugal over the next few days, but that will be picking up, particularly as we go into the new week for northern areas. now ahead of that, we have got some unsettled conditions, sweeping scandinavia, those showers, moving across the baltic states and onwards to western russia, or the county across central areas. some of that rain picking up a growth northern areas of germany and pushing into poland. we have got some wind

warnings out as well for denmark, but it's looking a lot more settled to the north west for britain and island, sunny spells and lots of heat coming through. and as we go into the new week, i want to show you what happens in london, that temperature picking up 10 degrees by the time we get to choose day touching up very close to that record. now as we had further south, it's clear skies across the board for much of mediterranean, for the north is seen some showers creep, cost across austria, but for places like greece and turkey, plenty of fun shine. we have a look at the 3 day for athens. things will cool slightly by tuesday, but plenty of sunshine. ah frank assessments, it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem in lebanon. it's actually structural lebanon needs, and you also contract in order for it to solve this problem in food opinions, international communities on the go to create

a government knowledge in depth analysis of good days, global headlines. this is going to be very hard to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually got 2 members inside story on al jazeera lou . ah, he watching out there are lines of our top stories. this allen? sure link is prime minister renelle victim, a single husband sworn in as acting president, following the official resignation of goes by a bunch of pox that the president stepped down out. months of protests, of the most severe economic crisis. in decades earlier, the parliament speak of verified resignation letter from roger pox. a who is now in

singable. he has parliament will convene on saturday to start the process of electing a new president. u. s. president joe biden will meet palestinian president. my heard a bass in the occupied west bank later on friday as he continues his middle east talk. the past few days, a focused on israel's relations with neighbors and iran's nuclear threat. china has recorded its slowest economic growth since 2020. some has been blamed on at 0 coven policy, which has interrupted industry and flattened consumer spending. st had water g, d, p greater 70.4 percent compared to the same quarter. last year. congress worn the governance full year growth target, a 5 and a half percent is out of reach. adrian brown reports for more than 2 decades, china's economy has been the dependable engine for global economic growth. but that engine is starting to sputter. he thinking since you that the world's 2nd largest

economy is slowing and president changing pings 0 tolerance. kobe 19 campaign is being blamed. 30 months after it began, but in whew hand, last month he signaled that it was a price worth paying. given the low vaccination rate, no country in the world is able to get it down to 0. so how is china going to be able to do that? particularly with low vaccination, right? it seems a very toy odom earlier this year. business activity in shanghai was brought to a standstill for weeks creating calles and food shortages. now the business and logistics hub is struggling to contain another outbreak. with households advise to stock up on 2 weeks of food and medicine. while many countries are trying to live with cobit 19 along with its multiple sub variance, china, it seems, will not be joining that list anytime soon. and so for now, the economy remain stuck in

a stop stop pattern. this week the government has released another batch of economic and trade statistics, but they don't necessarily reflect what's really happening to the economy. says one skeptical analyst, i think as a, as the reference as a reference. but like all officials, the physics we, analysts townhouse, try to figure out it correctly in terms of that. i think that the key, the figure that does matter though is the one for annual economic growth that this year china's lead us set at 5.5 percent. i think that's going to be very hard to achieve because there are so many headwinds. at the moment we have inflation taking off around the world. maybe the world economy might think into recession. so that means chinese export markets could well collapse with millions of people confined to their homes. consumer confidence is flat. that's why inflations hovering at

around 2 and a half percent low compared to the us and europe. the uncertain economic part is unfolding in a politically sensitive year after the 20th party congress in november, president she expects to secure and historic her term. avery brown elders, you won't call that will that bleak economic outlook is affecting many countries. it is the focus of a g 20 summit, which is currently on the way in indonesia finance leaders and central bank governors from 20 major economies are in barley for 2 days of talks. discussions will center on the knock on effects of the pandemic and the war in ukraine. u. s. treasury secretary, janet yellen has blamed moscow for the economic crisis as guitar correspond. jessica washington, who is live at the summit in barney jessica, what i'm expecting? well throughout the course of the meetings today on friday morning here in local

time, we have been hired hearing these urgent calls for action or food security and to provide context on that. like to bring in my guess i can signer from b u n t k, the u n. d p administrator. thank you so much for joining us. you. you said that we're facing the worst cost of living crisis in decades. 71000000 people pushed into poverty just in recent math. how bad is the situation in terms of global food insecurity that the well, his face was just to give you a sense in just 3 months. 71000000 people being impoverished holding deposit is even faster than co 19 calls to the 1st 3 months. so that just gives you a sense of the magnitude of how essentially 3 factors have really driven this cost of living prices, food, fuel and finance, which is why the un secretary established 2 months ago. the global prices responsible in order to alert the well to the cumulated impact of this will have to

be chosen the household. but we're now seeing in the global economy and particularly developing countries where physical space is essentially exhausted. levels of data rising. and now the cost of servicing that, that is also increasing on top of the food and fuel prices. so we are faced with a very serious hospice you've been present at these meetings, even speaking at the front door meeting. do you think that the international community is doing enough particularly to meet the challenges that developing countries are facing? not that goes where you have 71000000 people falling into poverty when you have probably more than. ready 100000000 people faced with hunger situation this year. when you see about 80 countries being dec vulnerable and you know, we are meeting at the bretton woods meeting in washington. the g 20, which account for 80 percent of the world's economy is congress struggling to set

up an agile response that is also at the scale that is needed. we need to deal with an acute crisis that is rapidly escalating and comes inflation pressures, potential density, and hundreds of millions of people that you the price out of food from one day to another. you talked about this in balance in recovery, that obviously these issues will affect the whole world, but it will affect some countries more than in some ways. it is almost ironic. good after having had upon them make that richly hit the world as a whole. we are now facing another crisis that is affecting everyone can go into a supermarket in new york and talk to your or somewhere in the continent of africa . last year in jakarta, everybody can see what the impact of this also living prices is having on every day ability to consume. but obviously the while you are, the more reserves you have, the better you can cope with these shots. and i think most concerning factions at

the end, secretarial estimated at in 95 countries. right now, roughly 1600000000 people are directly affected by one of these shops at about 1200000000 people buying field and hitting them at once. these are numbers that should be of great concerns. why? so don't it from a perspective of how to avoid these prices, essentially, making people give up hope and give up, hopefully, institution hungry people kind of be patient. they move from institutions and political processes on to the streets. that is the scenario we're facing right now against the macroeconomic deterioration at the same time. i know from the administrator of united nations development program. thank you so much for those insights. we have hired over the course of these meetings. this security has really been raised as a top priority. and from what we heard just a short while ago from asian finance minister there up hold to support those that urgently to address these food security concerns. and those,

those concerns have been supported by some d, 20 members, but we don't have further information on that. thank you for that of the washington there for us at the summit. g, 20 summit and body. now molly's transitional government has ordered the temporary suspension of troops. rotations by the un peacekeeping missions, citing security reasons. the suspension is expected to last until talk the hell to coordinate a new agreement. and then comes out to molly's governor, arrested $49.00, ivory and soldiers on sunday. it alleges the soldiers were mercenaries looking to topple the government where the ivory coast says the troops were hired by private company to support the un peacekeeping mission. nicholas hack has more from neighboring santiago is concerns. over 12000 un peacekeeping troops from 50 different darnesha. these, ranging from el salvador, bangladesh, germany, or even egypt. not only is this the biggest and the most expensive un peacekeeping

operation, it's also the deadliest over $250.00 soldiers have died. most recently, egyptians in the northern part of the country and it's now facing its deepest crisis of trust because the 1000000 military genta have grounded all of these soldiers. none of them are allowed to leave the country and no rotation of soldiers are allowed inside. molly and there are talks taking place between the melina authorities in the u. n. to find an end to this crisis particulars into what they're the un spokesperson for on hawk had to say. the rotation of contingency is crucially important for the missions operational effectiveness and the safety and security of personnel. all efforts must be made for an urgent settlement, especially since some of the staff concerned should have been relieved several months ago. of this all started on sunday when 49 i born soldiers landed on the turmeric of the airport in the capital bama code. the mon authorities accused them

of being mercenaries, but the war and say, this is all the misunderstanding. these are you in contract as part of the national support element there to help the un peacekeeping efforts there. the u. n, though has denied that it has any of these elements or any record of these men, adding more confusion to the crisis into this situation. a lance lie, the swept over school and north west columbia has killed at least 3 children. ruskie cruz were able to save most of the students course in its path as well as a teacher. and one of the students mothers at least president has rejected the resignation. of prime minister mario rocky as one of his coalition partners refused to back as spending bill in parliament. drug leads a unity government that's been thrown into crisis by the 5 star movement refusal to support legislation to tackle the cost of living.
