Sri Lanka: A country in chaos
Sri Lanka's President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has resigned as the country's president but he leaves behind a nation in utter turmoil.
There are shortages of food, fuel, electricity and other basic supplies, and protests have been erupting across the country in what is the worst political, economic and humanitarian crisis Sri Lanka has seen since it gained independence.
On the Sky News Daily with Dominic Waghorn, our correspondent Nicole Johnston shares an eyewitness account of the protesters who stormed the president's and prime minister's office. Plus we speak to a former adviser to the Sri Lankan government, Michelle Brooks, about how the nation ended up in a state of emergency.
