planet? me too. i'm neil. host of the on the green fence podcast and to me it's clear we need to change. join me for a deep dive into the green transformation for me, for you, for the plans with this i did have good news. asia coming up to date for long guns are running out of patrol and their patience demand for political change continue even as the new prime minister warns of was times to come. but get his leadership don things around for the island nation. where and colombo for on says, ah,

ah, i british energy, welcome to d w. news asia, glad you could join us. she like us, energy minister says the country has no money left to pay for fuel imports. that essentially means she lumpkins queuing for petrol at gas stations will get nothing . the small fuel reserve, the country does have, will only be released for essential services, like ambulances, as the economic crisis, wesson's. so does the political one. on tuesday, parliament voted against and opposition motion to condemn. president latavia departure for his handling of the crisis. protest as have been calling for his resignation for months. but he continues to remain unmoved. new prime minister on in victor, a messenger has warned the country has to face caught unpleasant and terrifying facts in many ways through lumpkins already facing them. but that's only increase

their determination for change. a it's been with and the people of she lanka are still on the street phase and slogans and singing songs of hope that they demand a better future and a complete political overhaul in that country. a familiar thief as the new premier has done nothing to assume a victim of thing. a season politician has been appointed at the prime minister of sri lanka. he has held the bullets 5 times previously but never completed the full dome. while some people find hope in him, many others have their own doubts. many distrust victor mussing how they see him as being close to the ruling raj bucks a family who they want gone from pow wow. we don't have any faith in the cotton prime minister to be honest, like no one has faith in him, given his history and leg, given the fact that he is basically got

a reputation for being credited wishy washy. an inept they onto height. they want to hide their corruption. that is why they have brought rick romancing as a prime minister that i needed something at the brightness did most recently, he's remembered for shooting the roger boxes when he was prime minister in the previous government. even that cynicism abounds about his appointment, the new prime minister has his desk, but out for him. needless to say, vicar marketing hope this is an uphill battle of willing and essentially bankrupt country out of its grave traces or not. he has gone on all devoted to the body of the country to lead. they brought it to the differences we find help him rebuilding a modem that is likely adorned order. john victrum roughly is a member of the main. the bishop he says his party is ready to support, but only under certain conditions. even though we have disagreed with the appointment of the present prime minister because he doesn't have an independent

majority in parliament. and we are still willing to work with it. and review mean opposition and be to cooperate. but if they have tried to play hard politics and if their porch members from our party and go that route, then certainly maybe to not be cooperating with this government. but no one has come up with solutions for the crisis, and the situation is likely to get worse bushy lessons in the coming months. victrum, i think i had warned it would be the most difficult one of their lives. and jeremy, now some more from colombo is dr. bike assorted, and i'm going to, he's executive director of the center for policy alternatives. dr. so i wanted to welcome how confident are people in sri lanka that the new prime minister running? because i think a is the man to lead them out of this crisis. i think their opinion is divided. there are people who dislike, crowded from

a single day feed has always protected roger boxes and, but he's not being very honest leader, etc. then there are those, this is a feel that despite all of that, he is a technocrat one level and that she has good contacts and nationality. and then we will get the economy back on it's feet. and that there are those who agree with batons that are say, look, he's the man of the us who can succeed. but in reality, i suppose we have a crisis of governance. there is an economic site and a political side and you have to address both those issues in coordination with each other working on the economic issue. however, strong ages is not itself going to get to protest is to go away or anything like that. i'd like to just go back to the 1st point that you made about people who believe that maybe he is protecting the departure family. i mean, so far for cabinet appointments have been made. all of them from president roger

buck shows a political party. i'm wondering, does that father lend substance to that view that running victim and gaze? indeed the departure man? well, i mean he is the only member of his party in parliament. they didn't win a single seat in the last election. and what he is in parliament on his bonus sheet, showing that respect. yes, he would be seen as you know, giving the raj practices a lease of life in that he did not make any conditions for taking the job on. he said that the economies in dire straits of that sensibly was the reason why he was accepting the prime minister ship. however, once is coming to office. he has said that the 21st amendment will be looked out and it's been sent to the attorney general's department to come to cabinet surveys come most of the political front. but the question is, is it, and is it going to last for long enough to get the economy also on

a sound filtering? let's talk about the president of roger bucks. i mean, he is also talked about reform along with their ronald victrum, i think. and president boucher has talked about the vesting himself of all of these . all encompassing powers accumulated 2 years back. but nothing really has happened on that front. and people are also asking for him to resign. can you help us understand the thinking behind all of this? i mean, the whole country wants reform and for president raj buckshot to go, but he isn't complying. why is that? i think godaddy roger baxa is not resigning despite the public camera for his resignation because he's not just president on his own. he represents an entire family dentistry who are accused at one level of war crimes and crimes against humanity. and at another level of having robbed left, right and centre. and so if he goes,

he will lose whatever immunity he gets from prosecution. he and the rest of his family will be very vulnerable. ringback to prosecution, to be brought to account and i think that's the principal reason why he wants to stay on in power. so people want a president got about our departure to gore and let's assume that he did what did make a difference to the situation in sri lanka? i mean, i only asked is, because should i go for instance, wants to be a lot from the i america. but having some sort of a stable government seems to be a prerequisite to receiving funds. yes. under the constitution of the country, if the president resigns, the prime minister becomes president and within 30 days, parliament should elect someone on its own a member of parliament to serve out the unexpired term of the president. to show the notion that there might be any sort of uncertainty and anarchy in all of that. if got arbitrage, fox resigns is entirely incorrect. there is

a process that has to be follow that he can be follow. now a number of those joining calls forgot about our departures. ouster are also former supporters who voted him into power. or i wonder if you think there is a change that we're witnessing and sri lanka in terms of what people expect from the elected representatives. remember both have the raj proxy came down, came into part in 2019 standing on the platform. all strong decisive leadership predicted to give the background of the 2019 easter bombings, as well as their relatives lack of cognition and incoherence of the previous government. however, his sort of performance in government has not been strong or decisive. i mean, he's only spoken to the country once in the still crisis since the prices came to ahead flip flopped on a number of decisions. and he's also showing that he doesn't have the capacity to

govern in terms of understand, omics as running. so we'll have to leave it there for the timing, but thank you so much for joining us today at dr. microsoft and i'm going to from the center for policy alternatives. thank you. thank you. the old. a change, a feel now and onto a story about home birds homes to be precise. and when he moved to india, capital jelly, the man in the next report says he noticed something was wrong when he didn't hear any birds chirping. so to bring back his favorite sounds, rakish country took up a hobby that has since become his life's work, giving birds a home, and teaching many others to do the same. these house sparrows have returned to the city after many years. thanks to one man who has been making homes for thousands of birds. his name is cash country property. i used to get worried and think

a lot about why we don't get to see any nests anymore. where have they gone? so i used to feel sad. there were new terms introduced like global warming, climate change. birds like peacocks and cuckoos were disappearing. people used to talk a lot about these things from the comfort of their air condition rooms. i used to think that these people talk so much about these big issues. why don't they even think about where the nes have gone? so the deli resident and his life started to build nest for the birds with plastics and tetra pack. then they switched to eco friendly materials such as bamboo sticks after a lot of trial and error. the eureka moment came when we made over 20 next like this, and we sat down with our cameras. we waited for 3 days and people used to laugh at us, they would say, why will the birds go to your net? they make their nest by themselves. on the 4th day, i was sitting with my camera. people were passing by and laughing, but soon

a male sparrow sat on one nest. i have a photograph of that sparrow on the nest, on my website. he inspected it and flew away. senate came back after 5 minutes with a female spare, and the 2 had straws in their mind because it sounds like a story from a movie, but it's the reality of my life. so when i saw this, i stood up and started clapping. the bird started coming to my knowledge. every country himself has built nests for hundreds of thousands of house sparrows and has won several awards for his work, pretty big organizations in the country and people abroad. i also realized that they can do this. if my husband can do it, then others can also do this kind of work. not only for sparrows, but for other animals to 22 d, n a or b animals. when now country teacher's school children can make now passing the idea of conservation onto the next generation border. this journey that i

started on 2008 is currently at 250000. now, i've taught this to more than a 1000000 students, teachers, and corporations. and i think this journey is never ending, as long as i have the strength in my body. and i hope i will continue this work is my passion and my professional. an idea with wings. that's it for today is more on our website. we're back again tomorrow at the same time. so then by the 1000000000 trees can and global reforestation program. save our climate ideas soon. fantastically simple, but is it which trees are suitable and above? oh, where should these need for is a credit on
