Sri Lanka protesters call for new government a day after clashes kill eight

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the former prime minister’s younger brother, urged an end to the violence and his government outlined broad powers for the military and police to detain and question people without arrest warrants.

Protesters and a key trade group in Sri Lanka called for a new government to take control of the crisis-hit country on Tuesday while the president asked for calm following clashes that claimed eight lives and prompted his brother to quit as prime minister.
