[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYS

All right, here we go. It is Saturday, July 16th, 2022. It is BK here. One more time.

That's right, back from a small hiatus last week. Good to be back. Please follow me on social media.

Check out that Twitter for breaking news throughout the week at Bravo Kilo Actual and be sure to check out my Instagram at BK Actual.

As I come to you guys from Cloudy San Diego, California, it is 11.58 a.m. as we get started here.

Those things do happen on occasion, and that might be the case occasionally going forward, or I'll probably do the podcast on a Thursday night.

And of course, the bronze tan, a color not found in nature. It's still glorious, more glorious than ever before.

So rest assured, we will continue to move forward as I get started with our international news.

And let's start in Sri Lanka.

Now, if you guys have been listening, we've been covering that here and there as the chaos has been unfolded.

So I just figured, why don't we kind of get into it? The president has fled the country.

And you guys probably saw the videos on social media, those protesters basically over ran the president's offices.

And nobody is really sure whose in charge here, mass demonstrations and tear gas, filled the streets of the Sri Lankan capital known as Colombo.

Protesters fought the cops outside parliament. That is the only government compound that had not been occupied months of largely peaceful protests and power struggles have had no effect in addressing the root cause

of the protesters' iron, which is a crashed economy. Basically, it's brought fuel shortages, rising food prices, basically rising misery as well.

Now, the president, a guy named Gotabaya, Raja Paksa, his departure was a huge step towards the demonstrator's stated goal of breaking his family's long hold on power.
