SRI LANKAN PROTEST
Taking a dip in the pool, sweating it out in the gym or just chilling in the bedrooms. No this isn't a resort it's the home of the Sri Lankan President. This all happened after a dramatic day in the country's capital, Colombo where thousands upon thousands marched the streets and stormed the homes and offices of the prime minster Ranil Wickremesinghe and president Gotabaya Rajapaksa demanding that they quit. You see Sri Lanka's going through a devastating economic crisis right now. There's been shortages of basics like fuel, food, and medicine which many people have blamed on the government. The president and prime minister were evacuated before the crowds rolled in and have both announced they will step down soon. No one is quite sure what will happen next. But many say a change in government is a good start.
ABORIGINAL FLAG
The Aboriginal Flag is here to stay on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It took the place of the New South Wales state flag as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations but now the New South Wales government say they're going to keep it up there permanently. It means a 25 million dollar plan to build an entirely new flag pole up on the bridge has now been scrapped.
