which was one of the leading roads that leads to the president's house and has been a heavy, heavy security special task force presence obviously. and that was one of the barricades that there was a sort of a confrontation between some of the protesters. but the, the come back if you like, was just completely over the top, all of a sudden tear gas canisters started a raining down. there were literally 10 or 15 canisters that came not even in the vicinity of where the protest is. we're pushing against the barricades. that's the thing. it was more to discuss the protest as people started running. i mean, i myself was caught up in it. your eyes burn your skin burns and you can hardly breathe. it's like you're short of breath. you're almost wheezing and for all the hundreds of people who caught up in that area that was complete. may hm. those almost the stampede to get out because it is so so difficult. even last because

confirmed that he's terminating is $44000000000.00 takeover of twitter. the tesla ceo's legal team says that the social media giant breached several provisions of the deal. twitter says that it will sue mosque, started buying the company shares at the start of the year by april. 4th, he was twitters biggest shareholder, 10 days later mosque offered to buy if for $54.20 a share was initially refused, but accepted a week later. on may, 13th, last glanced at the offer was on hold until he'd seen a report on spam and fake accounts on the platform that on friday called off the deal accusing twitter of breaching the terms of the agreement. the company says that it will sue mosque to make sure the deal goes ahead. i'll just give us your help returns. the reports from washington certainly must have been signaling for some weeks and the end of april. and he made us feel that he's unhappy with ostensibly the reason is he's unhappy with twitter disclosures about the number of fake accounts on twitter or twitter. 75 percent must because he's not happy with

all the information he seen backing, backing that number up. it's very difficult not to notice that since musk made the steel shaft price or twitter slid. and it really does seem that he is overpaying over paying for twitter. so he says, right, i want to back out of the feel. the problem is he did sign a pretty cost agreement to bite, which are on this there extraordinary circumstances. there is a $1000000000.00 penalty that's not much from us, but there's also a specific clause in that which allows twitter to force mosque to go through with a deal at the original terms. if the reasons must gives back out of the deal, seem to be frivolous on this. frankly, if seem to be not taught to meet the requirements of moscow escape by closer to it . it does have a very strong legal case if thought and twins already said it will be taking will be taking must to court. very magic is a technology technology analyst and the ceo of connect safely dot org. he says that

a lot of factors are a play in mosques decision. well, i think it's financial mostly. i think that what's happened, of course is since he made the offer. twitter stock has gone down and catholic stock has gone down, which means twitter is worth less money, but also means that he has less money. i mean his net worth it based largely on his test with stock. so his net worth has gone down. so those are major factors. i might add that if your reputation has also taken a hit, although some conservative like the fact that he wants to go in there and reinstate donald trump and get rid of some of the moderation policies. a lot of people are very upset about that and think that they're gonna, twitter is going to go back to the wild west or anything goes including harassment and bullying and other social harm. so i think that's had an impact on him, but i don't know if that's why if that would, in any way influence him to want to back out of the deal. i have had conversations with employees, of course i'm not going to say who they were,

but i have yet to find an employee who's excited about you on must be the being their boss. i mean, many are very concerned. they're worried about what will happen to the policies that they put into place. and i, i think it has had a negative react reaction company. now, at the highest level, there may be financial reasons why they want this merger to go through this acquisition to go through. but i think at the rank and file low level, it would be hard to find an employee who's excited about the idea. a g 20 foreign minister spacing is on the way and bali, the war and ukraine. i'm tension between the western china dominates of the agenda . earlier you are a secretary of state and the blinking match, china's foreign minister wearing iep beijing hasn't condemned russia's invasion of ukraine just 2 days before it began. it signed a so called no limits partnership with moscow. the u. s. and china also it all of a tie ones, sovereignty. they james ambitions in the south. china sea have been a source of tension to missouri about china and the united states are 2 major

countries. so it's necessary for the 2 countries to maintain normal exchanges. at the same time, we do need to work together to ensure that relationship will continue to move forward along the right track. it's important to stay committed to the principles put forward by president she asian ping mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and when, when cooperation of, because that serves the interests of the 2 countries. and it is also the shared aspiration of the international community. there is no substitute for face to face or sometimes mass pause ah, in a relationship is complex and consequently, one between united states and china. there is a lot to talk about. i very much looking forward to productive construct the conversation. i was there as jessica washington is in bali with me while the official proceedings. if the g 20 foreign ministers meeting is really now over the world is still very much looking at what's happening in bali because of this

foreign ministers meeting between the us secretary of state antony blinking. and his chinese counterpart one e. it is the 3rd meeting ever and their 1st meeting since late last year. and now this is part of a recent surgeon, diplomatic activity between us and chinese officials. that includes, of course, a phone call between the u. s. president joe biden, and chinese president. she didn't being in march and also talks between defense officials in singapore general way from her met with the u. s. defense chief lloyd austin. and those talks were also part of this flurry of diplomatic activity that we've seen throughout the course of these talks. we often see the same topics come up. of course, these are closed meetings so we can ever be certain exactly what comes up that contentious issues such as the situation in taiwan. often a matter of discussion, we know that the u. s. has concerns that china is going to change the status quo and is increasing its aggression in the taiwan strait. but from beijing perspective,

its concern is that the u. s. is meddling in its internal affairs. it considers taiwan to fundamentally be an internal, assess of aging, to manage. and also consider that the u. s. is meddling in matters that concern the asia pacific and that should be managed by asian countries. we have heard from the chinese foreign ministry. they mentioned that the talks would focus on bilateral relations between the 2 countries, as well as some regional and international issues, including likely the war in ukraine. we also heard from the us state department who noted that the talks may also include matters of regional security. importantly for this part of the world, se asia, those talk may also extend to the crisis in me and the us president has signed an executive order to help protect women's access to abortion and contraception. joe, by think, criticized what he called an out of control supreme court. which recently overturn roe vs wade. the landmark ruling that guarantee the constitutional right to an

abortion across the u. s. my counter reports from washington. the news today, the president blasted the supreme court's recent decision, striking down a 50 year old ruling guaranteeing women a constitutional right to an abortion. this was not a decision driven by the constitution. from the spite, with those justices, the majority said, this was non to decision and driven by history. opinion polls indicate the majority of americans agree with the president on this, a respected pew poll indicating 62 percent insist that abortion should be legal. in all almost cases, despite this, at least 9 states have banned abortion with more than a dozen states expected to do so. in coming weeks. blanked by his vice president and the secretary of health. president biden insisted that it was up to congress to pass legislation. restoring. roby wade, and this in turn,

would need people to vote for pro choice candidates in the november elections. the challenges go out mon well, for god's sake, there's an election november vote. vote vote vote. consider the challenge accepted court. the president then signed an executive order aimed at lessening the impact of the court's decision on american women. it instructs the justice department to ensure the safety of abortion, patients, and providers, including setting up mobile clinics near the borders of states restricting abortion access. another part of the order directs the health secretary to investigate how to protect the supplies of medication and increase public awareness around reproductive rights. the president has also directed that access to emergency contraception and i, you d's be expanded by the federal government. this is a direct response to what he characterizes as a threat by

a supreme court justice in his concurring judgement. 2 weeks ago, justice clarence thomas suggested that the court should reconsider the constitutional right to contraception. even among married couples, mike, hannah al jazeera washington. the family of murdered al jazeera journalist, sharina barclay has called on the us president to meet them on his visit to jerusalem next week. they want joe biden to order an f. b. i investigation into her death. she was shot in the head by his really forces, while on assignment in janina the occupied west bank on may 11th. still to come here all out a 0. no, someone has to grip this moment and make the right decision. the race begins to replace u. k. parameters to force johnson as his governing conservative party looks to elect a new leader. i will tell you why one of the key to fossils. former presidents has returned home 8 years after being pushed out.

a secretary of state entity blinker has met china's foreign minister wearing iep on the sidelines of the g. 20 meeting in bali, the war in ukraine. i'm tension between the western china hook dominated meetings agenda. the people of japan are mourning the death of their longest serving leadership obey who was shot dead while speaking at a political campaign event on friday morning. in the southern city of not a police are investigating if the government named us 41 year old tad sawyer yagami acted alone. i'll just here as florence louis reports young and old. they've come to pay their respects to former prime minister sions. obey gunned down at this very corner of nora city, just the day before, mourners have laid flowers, beverages, and written tributes. thanking, ave, for his service, put it got on my home. i am really shocked because i thought ave would continue his

efforts to make the country better. my child's name includes the tenant kuni, which represents the beautiful nation built by abbe a motorcade carrying abe's body left a hospital inara. his wife, a key, was seated in one of the vehicles. his body was brought back to his home in tokyo, where a crowd of mourners, including friends and colleagues, had gathered. ave, who was still a lawmaker in the warehouse had been campaigning inara for the upper house election on sunday when he was gunned down. police say a 41 year old former navy officer has admitted to shooting abbey, telling them he was disgruntled with a specific organization he believed. ave to be a part of the assassination has shocked japan, a nation with strict gun ownership laws and low crime rate. abbe,

japan's longest serving prime minister was a highly popular and highly controversial figure who tried to chart a bold way for it for japan, economically and diplomatically. a born strategy sinker, always tried to look beyond japan's horizon in order to broaden japan's diplomatic horizon. in an age, when our gigantic neighbour is growing very much rapidly, personally, he is warm and the friendship once orgy lasts eternally. i'm not exaggerating. he remembers people once met, he wouldn't forget doubts his curse. lord, charm and pro tributes have poured in from around the world. the un security

council held a moment of silence and us president joe biden has ordered us flags to be flown at half mast. and night vigil will be held on monday and our base funeral will take place on tuesday to be attended by close. friends at florence lee out is either china as president. she is in ping has sent a message of condolence to the japanese prime minister. she often crashed politically with abby, but child state television reported him a saying on behalf of the chinese government or the chinese people and in his own name, she can ping expressed deep condolences over the untimely death of the former prime minister, sions, or abbey, and condolences to his relatives and added that she was deeply saddened by abe's sudden passing. let's go live to tokyo. joining us now is freelance journalist, phoebe ambrose. so phoebe this assassination. clearly a huge security failure. what will be the priority now for investigators trying to

understand this killing out familiar characters that have boarded an investigation in exactly what they've been several weeks that have reviewed the petition being very critical. in fact, one from a police officer who has t expertise in the to carry with hi chris, i'll say good. are getting the strategic said that clearly the suspect was a, he was walking up close and carrying a bag and there was no intervention to the new to more distance and assess what the shelf that was carrying. and they seem to be a lack of coordination between police officers. this is what the investigative team is going to listen to in the meantime. tissue that has or did increase security for carla titian on the campaign trail, given that the election is still scheduled to be held tomorrow. but this incident,

as it was carried out with a home made firearms. this point depend really strict gun controls calling into question be kind of security that japan has put in place for these kind of events and, and several accept that. they're also pointed out that with things like 3 d printing technology, you can have very strict gun controls, but weapons going to find that way. people say, what's been so far, it's very highly trained. security offices are in place with senior politicians, but they may be focused on short physical distance rather than probably on the track. so we might need a change in style going forward as to how japan to purchase security when it comes to political events. the upper house selection, which i'll be was campaigning for is going to go ahead on sunday. the government then clearly keen to show that it's not going to give in to violence. absolutely.

continuing this election is being held as a symbol of protecting japan's democracy. in fact, one, the analyst says that i, him shall represented all my political royalty and was seen by many at the foundation of japanese democracy. so it's highly symbolic that election will go ahead in terms of how this fascination might impact the outcome. well, even before this incident, the ruling, the democratic party was scheduled to expand number with its clinician, partner, commercial, and majority, but now many projecting that might receive a super level increase majority even more. now, why this is significant? is that japan constitution has been very much in the light on it was a long held ambition to revise it. and to enable jeff at that department of defense to participate more and be able to potential good voice the constitution,

highly controversial. now with a tooth majority of a house, they already have the policies in favor of this revision already have you thought in the lower house, the have they've, how this potentially some kind of constitutional amendment could be push force, but very controversial and they have to see how it plays out in the smart tv many thanks and a g b. i'm also that reporting lives from tokyo. the 1st candidate seeking to replace boris johnson as britain as prime minister oust. they're standing johnson as anger many in his own party by insisting that he'll stay for now, rather than hand over to his deputy, said he, barba reports a day off devoris. johnson said he'd stepped down attentions turned to walk and who comes next around the newly cleaned up palace of westminster. the talk is of a clean break of restoring trust in governments. someone has to grip this moment and make the right decision. and friday, the 1st the political,

big to be announced the standing of the previous chancellor receives tonight. and i have been waiting to see next one of 2 cabinet members whose resignation led to a torrent of judy administers quitting. and johnson eventually giving in that should be a new leader. but on thursday, johnson insisted he'd stay in post until the new leader was chosen a process, but could take many weeks within the party. initial opposition to him staying on in the interim seems to be weakening. i don't think that it would be appropriate for us whether we're around the cabinet table or in any other part of the british government. just to kind of down tools and say actually you know what, we're not going to do anything until the new boss is in place. we have a duty and our duty is to govern what's due to happen is all the conservative members of parliament get to vote on the leadership candidates. it could take several rounds before they narrow it down to just 2 names. assuming neither drops

out, it's been up to the wider policy membership to pick a new leader. what's different this time is it's not a different type of policy. it's not parliamentary deadlock. as it was over, teresa may with her get her breakfast deal through. in this case, the problem is the prime minister, and in particular the problem is the judgment, his integrity and the fact that he really lost confidence of so many people in his government. and that meant that, that it's like weird that he's continuing the opposition. labor party still save johnson isn't gone soon. they'll try to force him out using parliament. he shouldn't be desperately clinging on when he has had to leave office because of his disgraceful conduct. and that's why i say the tory party should remove him, and if they don't, we will step up in the national interest and bring them voted no confidence. it's unlikely though that enough, conservative m p. 's would fax darma. in 2 weeks,

parliament breaks for the summer, leaving westminster to the tourists and leaving the choice of prime minister to fewer than a 150000 conservative party members. but between now and then, plenty could happen to change boris johnson's time table for leaving downing street . the dean baba al jazeera london, the kid faces for what president players, compadre, has made. his 1st public appearance alongside the leader of the governing military john took compadres. spent the past 8 years in exile in they bring ivory coast, but his return has led to protests as nicholas hawk reports. this is the 1st public appearance by bless, compose, back inside the presidential palace from which he ruled. burkina faso with an iron fist for 27 years composed is here at the invitation of colonel, but all he said, oh goat demi bow, who after taking power in a qu in january, is calling for national reconciliation. the initiative to meet with former heads of states has only one name to bring social cohesion in face of the challenging
