a very prominent state tv presenter vladimir sullivan, who is one of the most well known figures in this country. he has a daily program here in the evenings on se tv. this was another example by a vladimir putin of how his country has been under attack from the west and specifically the united states. he says he believes that this see i had a hand in this as well. he also talked about the other various forms of at the sabotage attempts by western countries on russian society. let's listen to some of what he had to say were russian. the media outlets have reported a series of blasts in moldova, breakaway region of trends in this trip. explosions reportedly happened to the minister of state security building in the city of terrestrial so far there been no reports of casualties. trans. mr. is supported by russia and his own ukraine's western. although ukraine un, i should say, secretary journal is in moscow ahead of

a planned meeting with the russian president vladimir putin on tuesday. antonio gutierrez should also me to russian foreign minister, sort of your lover of before traveling to t. if a sonnet has been arranged in the hope of pushing oakland diplomatic channels between you crated russia or diplomatic editor, james bates, reports not from the un. the un secretary general meeting with turkeys president owed on an anchor before flying on to moscow. mr. terrace is trying to build on previous turkish diplomatic efforts with a new piece initiative involving direct shuttle diplomacy. first in moscow. and then on to keith. he thinks that there is an opportunity now and will make the most of what we can. a lot of diplomacy is about, about timing, about finding out when is the right time. ah, to add to speak with a person to travel to a place to do certain things and, and he is going and anticipation that there's

a real opportunity that is now building itself. and we'll see what we can make of it in though the secretary general last week called for truce over orthodox easter . 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 the mediators. 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 her a possibility. if we green enforces to regroup and prestige, what bro?

occasions like butcher 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 caused many lives. parts of ukraine had been completely destroyed, living ruin, buildings, and mangled metal. but despite all this, the guns still seem unlikely to be silenced. yet, james bays al jazeera at the united nations twitters. the board has unanimously decided to sell the company to eat on mosque in a deal worth around. $44000000000.00 ask says he wants to unlock twitters potential and make it a platform for free speech around the world. the company's current chief executive told staff the future direction of the platform isn't yet clear. gabriel and his under reports 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 at twitter unanimously agreed to sell the social media

company to eli musk for $44000000000.00. up until the deal was announced, there was doubt on wall street. that musk could cobbled together the financing needed, but he did musk help pay for the deal with $25500000000.00 in debt financing by a group of banks led 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

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 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 sent it to moultrie response. for twitter. the saw must take a 9 percent stake in the company, making him it's larger shareholder. he was then offered a seat on the board of directors, only to have it abruptly revoked,

followed by his cash offer to bar the entire company, all within the last few weeks. ultimately, law must got what he wanted to not only be a twitter user, but to also be its owner. gave rosato al jazeera new york still ahead on al jazeera maryan forces, backed by russian mercenaries, are used to being involved in mexico. and a call to action protest is in mexico demand justice for women gone, missing open minded. ah, judy has begun the faithful world copies on its way to the castle. group your travel package today. hello, they will got in southern african all eyes on tropical storm jasmine as it sits

says it's proof that she was alive when she got out of the car. the taxi driver claims he wasn't involved in the woman's death. it's a case that still under investigation and has outrage the country. i hope. to be honest, it happens too often. it's not just this case. several women have been murdered in a month. that's why we're here fighting posters of missing girls and women were taped outside the attorney general's office act of his say police and prosecutors had been slow and ineffective in investigating his cases. but can i felt that it wasn't gonna get that authorities don't do what they're supposed to do in a timely fashion. that yes, when, when someone goes missing, they continue arguing that we need to wait 72 hours to start searching. instead of going forward, we seem to be going backwards. healings of women have increase in recent years in mexico and 2020 records show there were 977 registered cases. a year

the national action plan. it is going to ask congress to take a series of measures on both a federal and a local basis in terms of amending the law to deal with the increasing volume of drones within the country. there's great concern among administration, officials about the amount of crimes that drones are being used for about the increasing number of drone incidents have occurred, including here at the white house, back in 2015 or when 2 drones on 2 separate occasions landed on the grounds of the white house itself, so there's a lot of concerns, but one must note that this has got to go to congress. congress will have to pass a wide ranging way of legislation. among that legislation will be establishing a national training center to train people in grown detection are ways in which to improve drone technology, but also administration officials speaking to reporters make another point which

may be one of the motor forces behind this action plan. and that is express concern about the use of drones in the attempted assassination of the iraq, he prime minister in august last year. and the attack on the been as well and president back in 2018. so there's not only a domestic concern about this. there's also the concern among administration officials about the white spread or possible widespread use of drones. not only in illegal acts such as carrying drugs, but also impossible impossible assassination attempts. no, avi asian authorities in the us are investigating a plane swapping stunt that went wrong in the arizona desert cousins. luc akins in and the fountain had planned to nosedive cough and still tennessee. jump from one to the other before taking the controls and lending. akins made it into fountains and made it down. the fountain abandoned,
