8:03 am
yes, that's right. al physician leaders such is treva announcing his withdrawal form that race for president. i did speak to somebody very seen in the party after we heard that decision. and what i was told was that there had been a sort of an understanding reached a between such a premier thus her and alice, alabama, who had, he, has decided to support. and his party has decided to support. obviously the s j b that is such as prim. thus his party pushing for the return of the 19th amendment, which basically was the set of rules, the changes to the constitution which strengthened the hand of parliament and the prime minister ship. and if a dallas, alabama wins, that presidency, what seems to be agreed is that he will make such a premier thus a prime minister, obviously a much more powerful prime minister ship. so again, an indication of a sort of the deal making all trying to make the maximum in terms of that power and
8:04 am
the seats there, hold in parliament. now just down the road is the parliament building but with emergency as a huge amount of security. if i can just step away for a minute and just show you the degree, you have one bank obviously of police holding this barricade. and just beyond that, you can see an officers members of the military in that buffle one vehicle. obviously there are hundreds that we have seen are deployed here. there are multiple buses here and within the parliamentary complex, because there is a sort of a concern that protested will try and sort of over on parliament like they did with all the official residencies and things like that. a given the sort of discontent about the happenings in parliament. i want to ask you about the memo because of course, one from an outsider's point of view seems that the one person that people don't want to see in power is ronelle become a singer. i'm that was reflected, of course,
8:05 am
in a lot of the protests we saw over the last couple of weeks, is there any indication that we might see an optic again in the kind of filters that we've been seeing as this is the irony had the fact that a man who was voted out of parliament by the people at the last general election. renello vicar missing her, was unable to save his own parliamentary seat for the columbia district, his constituency. and he had to leave parliament. but he did enter literally through the back door, so to speak, because his party was allocated one seat on the nationalist. in fact, as we speak, there is a legal challenge that has also been mounted to run is a seat in parliament that is being taken up by the supreme court. it's a fundamental rights petition filed by civil rights activists. he has said that the technicalities of how vicar missing his name was proposed. it came too late. so they're expecting a decision,
8:06 am
a sort of an interim decision on his seat in parliament. but yes, people are angry because the right from the beginning in, for terms of being pushed right to the end of their patients. what they said is their fed up of politicians, taking them for a ride, that it's the same old faces just by a different sort of or a description or names. even here. one of the reasons for this anger against run over grimacing, and the possibility of him assuming the highest office is that many feel that he is being dictated to by the roger boxers. and many feel that the main reason that he is looking for office is to protect the roger boxes. and that's why the sort of roger boxer related party, the a said b p who has said it will, are sort of support him and has proposed his name. that that's the main reason why they're backing him. so for all these reasons, we saw the 10s of thousands of people that poured into colombo on the 9th of july.
8:07 am
they are right now, just, you know, are watching to see how all of this trans happens. but they have warned, very clearly that if running vicar missing her, who this, he has, no legitimacy comes back and is elected as president, that they're not going to say silent. they're going to be back on the street. and that is the concern again, and that's probably the reason for the security you see behind me, michelle, thank you very much. and human are fernandez talking to us from colombo in europe, a scorching heat wave record temperatures and raging wild fires are risking lives in threatening homes. forest fires in france, greece, portugal, and spain. i've destroyed thousands of hector's of land, same bus driver reports from san pedal, dela nivi to southside, one of spins worst affected areas, zamora ah, battling to control the inferred across spain. it's
