One dead after police fire on protesters in Sri Lanka amid bailout talks with IMF

Demonstrations have raged across the South Asian country of 22 million people for weeks, voicing anger against the government's mishandling of the economy.

Sri Lankan police fired live ammunition to scatter protesters on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring a dozen more, as the country sought rapid financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to ease a worsening economic crisis.
