BBC World Service - BBC OS, Sri Lanka: Limited fuel supplies resume

A small amount of fuel and gas supplies are back in some parts of the country

A small amount of fuel and gas supplies are back in some parts of the country.

We continue to follow the political upheaval in Sri Lanka, where President Gotabaya Rajapaksa says he will resign, after tens of thousands of protesters stormed the official residences of both the president and the prime minister. We get the latest from our correspondent on what might happen next and hear from Sri Lankan business owners about how the economic crisis in the country has affected their livelihoods. 

We bring you the latest updates from Ukraine with our correspondent, including more on the country’s plans to amass a 'million-strong army' to recapture the South.
 
And we speak to our correspondent in South Africa, where there is growing pressure on the authorities to find those responsible for the killing of 15 people in a bar in Soweto over the weekend. Local people are demanding to know when arrests will be made and what the police will do to ensure it does not happen again.
