and roger boxes been with some professional commentary thrown it . i sat, this was a media moment, the likes of which we've never seen. we saw acts of journalism messages, text sports, saying am here, look at what's happening. come here, join us. this is important. this is historic, many of us who are at the pretty site. we couldn't pause things on social media because the networks were getting jammed. but it was quite remarkable in the way people who are just able to access and see the luxury, the political leaders we're living in. and so it's a contrast to what many sri lumpkins are facing right now. complete contrast underlying these moments of sort of levity and joy. yes, there is a very significant sort of continuity of state violence in terms of how the protesters themselves were attacked. shot at media workers who assaulted. there's been quite a lot that's happening in the background that has been immensely violent and hasn't been addressed in any form by the state. and no one really has been held accountable either. ah, social media is made f

roger pike's fleas, the country ahead of his promised resignation. ah, i melinda, by the saudis, their life and doha also coming up. joe biden is expected to arrive in israel in the coming hours on his fuss trip to the middle east. as the u. s. president. a 65 year old, hong kong activists known as grandma won't plead guilty to charges of unlawful assembly and a sneak peak into the universe. the wells most powerful telescope delivered some spectacular images. ah, sure lanka has declared a state of emergency just hours off to present and go to buy roger packs of fled to the mold eaves. the prime mister ronald, i'm a single has declared himself acting president. police have fine t gas. a protest is calling for his resignation. thousands of people have converged on his offices in colombo. let's go straight to set, bathrooms, lifers in colombo stuff. it's been a very eventful 24 to 48 hours in inter lanka. bring us up to date with the very latest. yeah. well, a lot of anger here on the street of colombo, as you can see here, behind me, a lot of professor

we'll try to bring home roger box robert dot laura roger bunker last will become a resident. that's why we are both lanelle dawn dawn. try to bring granny latter brussard i'm. it will be a big, big, big demo swears on in the country after the 20th such warnings prompted vicar missing, had to declare a state of emergency. on sunday, it gives police and the military more power to detain and arrest protest is. but that is in deterring the demonstrators from rep bill 9. good deal. now, nearly a deal full days. instead of images, as when the clear and go fuse has been declared, but people came to the struggle. people came to the road and they say slogans. and they are protesting their their name. instead of this suffering, i think of missing has largely ignored the criticism appear kicked and not a little della. do we fight each other and destroyed the country or do our parties work together peacefully and rebuild discovery? that is the most important political question we faced to be on the bottom. as parliamentarians get ready to choose a successor, to present got up a roger box

obviously present, gotta be roger pox. i had to move out of here about 3 months ago when that campaign gotta go home began continuously just outside the. a visa, fences and dad, just on the 9th of july, you had that big march, tens of thousands of people converging on colombo, overrunning the president's official residents. also the prime minister's residence of the burning of the prime minister's residence. now you have a long stream of people coming in to visit all these properties. as you can see, they're taking a chance to come in and see how their leaders functioned. but obviously a huge challenge ahead of sri lanka, r as a we see this prospective change of, of power. obviously that has to be formalized, but we've got a massive economic crisis. unprecedented since the independence in 1948. there's fuels food, meds, and shortages because the country has no money to buy these things. the central bank governor has said that there has to be political stability very quickly in order to have the international community, the

roger fox said that was a lot of opposition. and an upper. busy public up role when he not was nominated to contest for the position of parliament, which he won with the votes of the previous president's party. all of which showed that he does not have public trust or public legitimacy. and also with that he is in a way, a proxy for the roger boxes because they nominated him and their party elected him, which means he's also going to be protecting them and they might just turn out to be more of the same no matter the lack of legitimacy or his links, does he have the ability to, to fix the nation's problems despite that? well, the point is that we, well, one would hope he does. but also the issue is that we must not look to him only as an individual. and there are many who are saying that the other candidates, for instance, would not have been able to. and i think that one of the problems that trailer has always had is focusing on individuals in making them save us instead of focusing on our institutions and our processes and strengthening the

president, after mass proto, forced roger boxer to step down. the 6 time prime minister will finish the remaining 2 years of frederick boxes term. but he is unpopular with protesters who see him as part of a government responsible for sri lanka as economic crisis, rockdale napoleon, where it is not necessary to say how hard the country's economic condition is it. we have to embark on a new program to go forward and again, we have to work together to do that. the. i'm thankful to the other 2 candidates of i invite them to work with me for the development of the country. i'm with our, let's bring him enough, hernandez, who's joining us from the capital columbia. so any reaction from the protest? her as min hell. yeah, we're hitting that there have been some scenes outside the presidential secretariat to and near the president's official residence. soon after the vote now there was basically quite a large group that had been protesting for the last few months that staged a silent demonstration or a sup degraw on those steps of the president's offic

so that's what we are doing well. asked lee to go to buy a roger poxy who fled the country up to mass protests over his handling of the economy is replaced by prime minister because i'm a single in the right. but he's seen as his ally protesters on both of them out the don't believe in him this. he's not the correct choice at this moment. now i'll is gary ward that i was dead corrupt prisoners. later the, the people of she lanka has not been given what they deserve, which is peace and all a peace of mind. and the basic necessities being meant there was high security around the parliamentary complex as became a singer, took on his new role. his office said he wants to form a unity government to manage the turmoil. the new president is a familiar face and sri lanka. having served 6 times as prime minister, which in sri lanka is the deputy to the president. he was sworn in and signed himself on as the elected head of state. though in this case, it was parliament we'll elected him. amidst the country's turmoil, the grandma single election had been greeted by yet another surge of protests

it's roger stone that brought him into it.ged him to run for president and manipulated this entire process. >> same question. >> i mean, there's also other things that haven't been brought up, like there was a meeting with roger stone and president trump at mar-a-lago on the 28th or 27th, five days after he received a pardon. i think you've got to look at the quid pro quo here. you get a point guarden and look what happens. >> let's turn as well to the other witness today, and some of what we heard. >> i do fear for this next election cycle, because who knows what that might bring? if a president that's willing to try to instill and -- and -- and -- encourage to whip up a civil war amongst his followers using lies and deceit and snake oil, regardless of the human impact, what else is he going to do if he gets elected again? all bets are off. >> what did you think of those witnesses, and how does it correspond to what you personally observed, these people being true believers, and are they moveable? >> i think the unifying aspe
