sentenced to life in prison plus after weeks of tensions on this holy site to look into, what is the status quo? why to palestinians say it's being eroded and stephanie decory, jerusalem will have that story coming ah welcome to the program, twitters board has unanimously decided to sell the company to eli mosque in a deal worth around $44000000000.00. max says he wants to unlock twitters potential and make it a platform for free speech around the world. but the company's current chief executive told staff the future direction of the platform isn't yet clear. gabriel elizondo has more from new york. the deal is done the month long saga of who will own twitter appears over in one of the largest and most unusual tech acquisitions ever. the board of directors and twitter unanimously agreed to sell the social
5:02 am
media company to even musk for $44000000000.00. up until the deal was announced, there was doubt on wall street. that musk could cobble together the financing needed, but he did. must help pay for the deal with $25500000000.00 in debt financing by a group of banks lead by morgan stanley. in a press release announcing the deal must talked about improving the platform by getting rid of automated spam accounts and making its algorithms open to the public and authenticating all users. but for musk buying twitter is about free speech, or at least his version of it potentially ending twitters current content, moderation, or stopping the platforming of users to break the rules you on mosque is not buying twitter or financial reasons, although he thinks he can make some money on it, he's buying it for ideological reasons and i think that's the really important part
5:03 am
and all this. and that's ultimately what's scary with musk in control. they fear a return to the unruly spread of disinformation on the platform. so as today, a good day or bad day for twitter users, that is probably the most important question here. and i think it's also the question that's going to be hardest to answer. i think that if he does a lot of the work that has been done trying to protect against sort of normative lead, bad speech, such as information and especially he speech that's going to be a bad day for twitter. but you know, there's a chance that he takes over and doesn't sort of have quite a sweeping of a reform agenda as he's that he's put forth in over the last couple. it's been a tumultuous month for twitter. the saw must take a 9 percent stake in the company, making him its largest shareholder. he was then offered a seat on the board of directors, only to have it abruptly revoked,
5:04 am
followed by his cash offer to buy the entire company, all within the last few weeks. ultimately, ellen musket got what he wanted to not only be a twitter user, but to also be its owner. gabriel's ando, how does it in new york in a 3 is the chief technology correspondent, u. s. news website act, seals. she says absolute free speech will be virtually impossible to achieve in general, even though elan has laid out this big free speech thing. it turns out to be really hard to remove protections, even some of the organizations and social media that have tried to rival twitter and say, were in favor of free speech. find that free speech without rules is just chaos. so i think a lot of the rules will stay, i think that will probably see things start to shift more subtly though both as elan has influence. but also i think people who strongly oppose that will start to
5:05 am
leave twitter. other people will come in, who are more in favor of it. so i expect a subtle shift starting when the deal closes. but i think the real question comes in protections above and beyond what the law requires and but what it requires, what it takes to have a decent conversation, tends to be protections that go above and beyond what the law might dictate. ah, the russian forces have attacked critical infrastructure including railways, which ukraine says is to stop it from re supplying its troops on the front lines in the east. the cross train station, nevada was one of 5 struck by missiles in central and west and ukraine. although he said these 5 people are killed and the damage will take months to repair the governor or via regions. as 2 towns were attacked, their killing an unspecified number of people, while rushes defense ministries as it destroyed an oil refinery in. can i joke in

5:11 am
a call that fell on deaf ears, i call on russians and ukrainians to silence the guns and forge a pass to safety. for so many at immediate res, the secretary general continues to call for a cease fire, but that's very unlikely to happen. the ukrainians side don't want the conflict to become frozen with russian troops stationed inside their country. and after 2 months of war, moscow's made very limited gains. if, as a truce now, would be very hard for president putin to declare a victory. my lord, i asked russia's deputy ambassador to the un, whether a cease fire was a possibility. we don't think that's a ceasefire is a good option right now, because the only, the only advantage it will give it will give a possibility. if we bring in forces to regroup and to stage more pro, occasions like which i like, i say culture. so frankly, it's not up to me to decide, but i don't see any reasons in this right now. the conflict has cost many lives.

5:17 am
it is spreading fast across the country. even the 3 named after the russian historical figures are now given ukrainian names. it's about the colonization. we have independent country. we have in dependency that we have own history. and so we'll do, according to our history, not that what the fullest on, on, on our, on off by a huge money all the is called the re, to what russia has presented as a key reason for taking ukraine. it to, you know, the city of much of the said he needs to be raised from start to finish. it's been poisoning the lives of slavic people for 100 years. in reality, russian people, even the name itself, is insulting to be one of the russian peoples and to suddenly become ukrainians. this idea needs to be totally eradicated, but before we start eradicated them for us, they have to be convincingly defeated. ukraine society has been

a deeply polarized one, but the world with russia has let his people to set aside their differences and come together to have their country which stand the invasion at the start of its war in ukraine, russia said its aim was to liberate the russian speaking regions of the country and restore the historical ties with russia. but now the goal seems too far away, and for most ukrainians, the war has only pushed them further away from russia. marina shalayna is the software they will offer from ukraine's will ask region, most of which is now on the russian occupation. she has spoken russian her entire life. but now, besides helping to plan an army with fundraising campaigns, she's working to improve her ukrainian. it's not about me you after what rush and you to my you by the end all eastern by the late options pekin,
