BBC World Service - Newsday, Sri Lanka PM tells military to restore order

Ranil Wickremesinghe makes call after his office is stormed by thousands of protesters

Ranil Wickremesinghe makes call after his office is stormed by thousands of protesters.

Today we'll be focusing on the turmoil in Sri Lanka where President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has fled the country but, so far, refused to resign - protestors want both him and the prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, to quit.  

In Haiti protestors are also angry about the economy - but in some places the protests are caught up in worsening gang violence. 

And we'll visit Uganda which is feeling the effects of the rising global fuel prices - though for palm oil farmers there this means a cash bonanza.
