b"We start with a report-back from The Indy's Amba Guerguerian. Sri Lanka, the teardrop-shaped island nation of 23 million people located just south of India. The country has been in the throes of an economic meltdown. A mass protest movement erupted in April; on July 10, thousands of demonstrators took over the presidential palace and sent the country\\u2019s leader Gotabaya Rajapaksa fleeing into exile. In now-iconic images, the protesters were seen taking selfies on the President\\u2019s canopied bed and splashing in his private swimming pool. Guerguerian has been following this story and is in touch with Sri Lanka protesters in the capital city of Colombo.\\n\\nNew York City Mayor Eric Adams has made homeless sweeps one of the defining features of his administration. The sweeps often end with people\\u2019s few worldly possessions being tossed in the back of a garbage truck. The City was at it again on Tuesday, dismantling a couple of encampments by the Manhattan Bridge. It also planned to oust a homeless encampment in Sara Roosevelt Park at the intersection of Forsyth and Canal. One abolitionist neighborhood resident, Isabel, has sought to aid the homeless men instead of looking away or trying to involve the police. Isabel joins us to talk about how she\\u2019s chosen to respond to homelessness in her community.\\n\\nNY\\u2019s supreme court, the New York Court of Appeals has taken a conservative turn in recent years. It\\u2019s been stacked with Andrew Cuomo appointees. The chief justice of the seven-member court, Janice DiFiore, a Cuomo appointee, unexpectedly announced she would be stepping down last week. The court is divided 4-3 in favor of a conservative block of which DiFiore is a member. As she leaves, there\\u2019s a chance for the court to go in a different direction. Our third guest, matthew Thomas, has looked into misconduct by another justice, Madeline Singhas, who was appointed last year by Cuomo and is urging the state legislature to consider impeaching her and opening up another seat on the Court of Appeals."
