Sri Lanka negotiating with Russia over fuel deal
Sri Lanka is sending two government ministers to Russia to negotiate for fuel – as pumps run dry. The army has been deployed to the few stations that have any fuel left, to help implement a new rationing system. The government has extended a two-week closure of non-essential state institutions. There's been widespread anger at the president because of decades of economic mismanagement. Al Jazeera's Minelle Fernandez reports from Colombo.
