val to continue to take to the streets until they believe there is real change. so what comes next now that the president's resignation has been accepted? i asked d. w, as many are chowdhury in colombo? well yes, this morning, the speaker of the parliament held a press conference where you announced that good or bad on both sides resignation has now finally been accepted and he has also announced now if you talk about the next step, the next step is definitely the future both of action, a bland on the bottom, it has to bump to stabilize the body of the boundary. and for the same, the figure didn't out this morning that the find a meg reconvene tomorrow, and he had requested all the employees, all the members of the board image to come and attended to be present because the future both of action is dependent upon that. so we can expect some important crucial calls to be taken once the parliament has been beat. we're hearing the meantime though, on the streets that are relative. com has set in is that what you are also

observing? well, yes, the situation is relatively calm or right now. i'm at the moment standing at the parliament building, which is right now, the presidential secretariat behind me. you can see a lot of people think probably on the case this entire area has been the epicenter since the beginning of the process. again, what about the fact that people are renamed? it i bought i will bama basically a place to demand. if resignation has out there, which has not been done, but the parts of the ground is that the project will not beat anytime soon. the major demand one meet the demand due to me, which is for me to come up to that down from the postal prime minister to that doctor, the boards of acting president. now we don't know whether that will happen better needs to be seen, but we can expect this to happen again. ok, tell us this latest move now. what does it mean economically for the country because sri lanka is essentially bankrupt and the previous government was in talks with the i m f for a bell out. well, yes,

but one thing is really important. think about is that it cannot mix ability, will not found before political stability does. that is why the all party meeting of the government and the parliament just the mean is the most important. in fact, the governor of the central bank and even said that the country may face a huge problem, a possible shut down. it was stable administration is not brought into position soon because even the i am it cannot roll out to be a package that happens. so that is the most out of here right now. the w is near a chowdhury reporting from colombo and sri lanka. thank you so much. u. s. president joe biden is visiting the occupied west bank today. the latest stop on his middle east trip. he is set to whole talks with palestinian leader mackwood abbas and bethlehem bite. and reiterated washington support for a 2 state solution when visiting israel on thursday. but no major diplomatic

breakthroughs are expected today. the talks are likely to focus on economic support for the palestinian people. a spring in correspond, tonya kramer in bethlehem in the palestinian territories. tanya, how is this visit being viewed by palestinians where you are with? well, i have to say in battle, i am. it's still a very quiet morning that has to do it's a friday morning, but also palestinian security forces have a closed the main roads here in anticipation of the visit. ah, do you as president biden will come me after a visit to, to east jerusalem, a palestinian hospital here and to meet with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. and then also for a short visit to the church of the nativity here. right behind me in the old city of bethlehem. now talking to people here, you know, they have very mixed opinions about that. many say it's good to you they, they welcome that he's coming here to put out the realities here. back on the

agenda, the policy is ready. conflict has not been really very high on the agenda. around a globally speaking. there are also some many pilots into the hope that a president biden will talk about. a u. s. m an american, palestinian and journalist trevino. aclu was killed by covering a israeli military rate and the occupied west bank and the noise in at janine talking about her and calling also for accountability are there. so on the other hand, also people are saying, you know, they don't expect a lot of are, you know, changes on the ground here from this visit may be some gestures might be announced, but it won't change anything here when it comes to an end of the occupation that many people are hoping for or for their own state in the future. okay, but as for what's on the agenda today, biden, we understand his visiting

a hospital and a palestinian neighborhood, his budging millions and aid. how much impact could that have? i think that is very important is visiting a palestinian hospital in was true solemnity part of the palestinian hospital network and they are treating a mainly cancer patients. there they have the facilities for that, and there are many of palestinians, for example, from garza that can't be treated in garza that are coming to that hospital, the need a permit from the israeli authorities to come there. so it's very important that this aid and the funding assistance comes back also because under the trump administration on this, all funding was cut from the, the data administration. but of course, it is not enough just to have economic gestures. people are hoping for more political gestures, and they have been very carefully listening also to a president obama many arrived and to live at the output. he said, you know,

he's supporting, obviously a 2 state solution. but, you know, he doesn't see that in the near future. so death doesn't leave much hope that anything will change there. just briefly, tanya biden will had to saudi arabia later today. what's expected? well, that is so seen as the more controversial part of his visit for israel. this is very important that he's flying there and miss about himself said it's the 1st time that a u. s. president, lies directly from isabel here to saudi arabia. he is taking part there in the summit of the golf corporation counselor plus 3. so many regional leaders will be there talking about energy, talking about food security. but it's controversial because mr. by doing this at the presidential election campaign, he has pledged to make saudi arabia pariah over the killing of saudi journalist demarco george in over its human rights record. so there will be a lot of questions to asked why he's on the trip there. and saudi arabia, tonya kramer, inter islam, thank you so much. is

a quick look at some other stories making news. finance ministers of the g 20 group of nations are gathering and bali for a summit, overshadowed by the foreign ukraine host. indonesia has called for a consensus on tackling soaring global food and fuel prices. the foreign ministers of both russia and ukraine are expected to address the summit virtually on friday. molly's military lead government has temporarily suspended un peacekeeping troops. rotations, amid a growing dispute with ivory coast, molly earlier arrested 49, i varian soldiers for allegedly entering the country illegally. it says that they were mercenaries, ivory coast says the men or part of un peacekeeping forces. ukrainian president volota mere zalinski has condemned a russian missile attack. far from the wars front lines, calling it an open act of terrorism. the russian rockets had an office walk and

damaged residential buildings in the central ukrainian city of vanessa. at least 23 people have died around 100 more are wounded. 3 children are reported to be among the dead. ukrainian forces claim the attack deliberately targeted civilians in locations without military value. russian missiles have been striking deeper into ukrainian territory. vinny thought is in central ukraine far from the front lines. thousands of people from the east had fled here after russia invaded, seeking safety, with a lake will live when the 1st broke it hit. glass fell from my windows to cool vehicle. you are cold and when the 2nd wave came, you know, it was so deafening that my head is still buzzing. horrible. ukrainian officials said 2 missiles struck the city on thursday and ignited a fire. those quite high precision missiles,

but the russians knew where they were hitting. this is a civilian building will give a horrible while addressing a conference in the hague focused on investigating suspected war crimes in ukraine . president vladimir lensky said the attack deliberately. target civilians show today in the morning, russian missiles has the city of vin. it's an ordinary peaceful city. cruise missiles hit 2 community building. the houses were destroyed on medical center was destroyed, cars and trams were on fire. this is an act of russian terra. it's a while she's booked at all. he's calling for a special tribunal to investigate russia's invasion. the kremlin has repeatedly claimed it is not targeting civilians, but each day russian missile strike c t's in the southern city of nikolai of rockets hate early on thursday. just one day after an attack,

killed several people in the eastern donnette grey jin ukrainian troops trying to re enforce new defensive lines with the help of weapons from foreign allies, boomers, the china, the china boomers put the letters. i think about a dance lying in a trench and taking a risk to here. and i think that it could be the last, i need to have a drink through the last night that i go to sleep. but they were finding us russian forces have failed to make any major gains in the east in recent days. but ukrainian authorities say the constant strikes have made life here too dangerous for civilians to stay and from wireless crossover to d. w nay. connelly who is joining us from care of and, and nick, were also just getting reports of another devastating russian attack in the southern city of nikolai, of what more do we now?

well, sir, this was at about 8 in the morning local time. or 2 universities seemingly hit, we don't have any numbers yet about casualties. but this fits the pattern that we've seen in recent days from vanessa and before of attacks during the day when you had the potential for damage and destruction to civilians is at its highest previously. lots of those rocket attacks had been during the night time. one of the supers of the curfew people were all at home and michel, i there is pretty close the front lines the ukrainians trying to make progress and push russian forces back in the headphone region. so this really is a frontline city, a big city of hundreds of thousands people where the civilian authorities have time time again called on people to leave if they can. but up to recently, it was estimated about half population was still there. the thought seemingly that they had got used to the new normal. but obviously this is now and very much more dangerous situation. i think most of the locals had bargained for and we heard the ukrainian president calling on thursdays attack the previous attack. and when it's a, a quote act of terror, if this late

a series of russian attacks are neck on civilians really is about instilling terror and bombing ukrainians into submission. is it working? now it doesn't seem to be you have a lot of define to live anger on social media there and been it sir. children dying . we heard the pocket, the prosecutor general here in ukraine, talking about an estimated 352 children killed since the beginning of this war by russia. i think it was the thing that this actually does actually unite the country . bizarre, lots of reasons of ukraine that are hundreds of kilometers, even a 1000 kilometers away from the front lines. who in 2014, when the war was restricted. dumbass could basically think that they were carrying on as normal and often got tired of having to, you know, send their tax money, spoke the army, and here, kind of wanted to think about other things. this really focuses attentions and brings all ukrainians, basically on to the same page. they are all you know, in the range of these russian cruise missiles. there is no one of this country that is safe. so in a way, i think, paradoxically,

this actually supports it. ukrainian public opinion and in terms of carrying on with this, there's definitely no sense that people are going to respond to these kind of attacks on civilians with a desire to put pressure on the government to make compromises with russia. or the sociology shows that any kind of plan that would give russia longer control over these or by churches has nothing, no majority amongst majority opinion here in ukraine. so for now, i think this is counterproductive. russia, but seemingly that, so they've got these, the missiles, are there any hope of trying to inflict casualties on the ukranian army? let's talk a little bit more about russia's plan and, and potential strategy. there are reports that their russian parliament, the state duma, has been recalled from holiday for an extraordinary session to consider. and i'm quoting here on the specified government initiatives. it has felt a lot of speculation, neck about the kremlin plans for the war in ukraine. the invasion of ukraine. what can you tell us while everyone is scratching their head even in russia?

it seems, i lots of the, the do, my members, the parliamentarians there don't know why they're being called out of holiday. but there has been some speculation that this could be connected to either holding referendums in the occupied territories. something like what russell did in crimea in 2014, to somehow legitimize russia's control of these ukraine territories. or they might even do away with the need for reverend him and just declare that these regions are part of russia and such would then threaten ukraine or anyone else trying to support ukraine, getting their searches back with a nuclear responsive, with the justification that this is russia's quarter tree and that any attack on them would be an attack on russia as such. so, lot speculation, lots of question marks there. but there is a sense that russia is now trying to dig in in those territories. and seeing that ukraine is getting more and more western weapons and is increasingly in a position to fight back and to launch counter offensive, some attempt to try and to stop ukraine to threaten ukraine with consequences if it does try and take land back it up is nick connelly in ukrainian capital clear. thank you. the effects of the war in ukraine are being felt around the

globe. ukraine is a major export of grain, but russia's invasion means stocks of wheat and corn can't leave the country. grant shortages are pushing prices threatening food security in many parts of the world, including across africa, is next report was produced by french public broadcaster france, television, lose ships from russia or ukraine, have all but disappeared from african ports. they were a common sight here before the war, but now they no longer supply the continent with grain. other countries have taken up the slack. this cargo ship loaded with wheat is arriving from argentina, but down is not enough. the people of senegal and other countries on the continent, fear that prices will soar. oh, how much the small one is $0.15 the other $0.30 a year, almost half of the population lives below the poverty line below so every penny is

counted. wow, i'm the heading. if the price of bread is raised again, it will be very difficult for a sandwich sellers because we already have high prices. the goods are already very expensive. to day, a ton of wheat costs more than $450.00 euros. this is twice as much as last here. for the moment, the state of cynical pays the difference. this makes it possible to freeze the price of flour and bread. but this sudden increase worries. the miller's was old read of i get to city other today the senegalese baguette is subsidized by the state in the same way as it is in many north african countries, egypt, denisia, and morocco. but the question is, until when is there not a risk that we will be caught up by the reality of prices? so that's the big question. so some bakers are trying to find solutions at their level. i might do gay, for example, has already changed his recipes. by me. this is millet,

you take the flour and mix it altogether. over lemonade. in his establishment, he trains his apprentices to make bread with products that are a 100 percent from synagogue. good read luck. we must reduce the amount of weebly imported in the lum glen, replace it with our own serials you, if you go to the coach while there's man young, there are bananas and sweet potatoes in nigeria. the same thing. they said they had all these countries with their cereals that can make bread, but local grain is more expensive than imported. wheat and financial support from the state is needed. if nothing changes with the increase in the price of wheat, the un announces that within the next few months, more than $40000000.00 people could be lacking food in west and central africa. italy is facing political uncertainty after the government of prime minister mario druggie lost the support of a key coalition partner in

a parliamentary vote. druggie is expected to seek a new confidence vote next week after the country's president refused his offer of resignation. druggie had said that he would no longer serve as prime minister if the populace 5 star movement pulled out of his broad coalition to say, the vote count which plunged italy into political crisis. representatives of the 5 star movement boycotted emotion in the senate. prime minister mario draggy sword as a loss of confidence in his government. 5 star lead a just said he can take the former prime minister, seen here at the hand over a power has been critical of many of the government's policies. his party has been falling in the poles in recent months, and tension has risen in the governing coalition. analyst units ready for the situation has been fragile for a while. it was only a question of when the coalition would fall apart. now it is finally happened on this drug. you visited the president to resign saying he can only lead when all

coalition parties fully support his program. but the president rejected his resignation. drug you will return to parliament on july 20 to seek its support. and i asked journalist alessio perone and milan for more on what led to the prime minister's offer of resignation. well, it's a peculiar situation where we are observing. i think many of us initially and including political analysts are still struggling to understand exactly what is going on. i think it's, it's crucial that drug is government was always a national, you'd say, had a big coalition kind of governments with the support of diverse range of policies from far right to, to center left and wrong. he always said that the government not exists without the support of the far so movement, which let's remember, was the biggest political force out of this election than the law. fletcher's italy had and thursday, the so yesterday the foster amendment was huge. to vote

a bill proposed by the drug government and basically a drug who said that the national unity majority that supported his government was basically no longer existed. and so he resigned or tried to resign. why did they refuse to vote? would you say? because i mean, you know, if we look at the 5 star movement itself in the background, it's also lost support in the polls that seen some high profile resignation. so why make this move on this particular vote? well, obviously officially, the official reason is that they weren't happy with the bill, which is mostly about tax rates and incentives and measures to help the the country's economy in times of crisis with the war, the panoramic and so on. an officially, i think the reason is is you're saving the 5 star movement used to be the biggest political. fortunately, it had well over 30 percent of the vote in 2018 but has been falling gradually, but steadily over the years. i think for some, we need to remind you that the 1st amendment is an anti establishment party. it

tends to say, institutions like b, m, s, the world bank, even the euro and the european central bank as its enemies did not like them and drugs kind of represent some, some members, definitely see drug is something that they did not. they cannot support. now, this erosion of supports for the 1st of movement has led to pensions within the movement. recently, a part of the most pro dragging government's members have left and they get different political force. this left the party with basically members who are the most skeptical chinese government and they see this as kind of the risk this crisis has been long in making, but they see this is a way that they can return to the true identity and kind of rise again, polls, okay, turn us alessio, per on a in milan walking us through some of the undercurrents there in terms of what is happening on the italian political scene. thank you so much for your insight. as were heavily a japanese man has climbed into the record books by running up
