musk has taken control of one of the most influential social media platforms. twitter, he's now officially completed. the $44000000000.00 purchase mosque was seen walking into twitters headquarters on wednesday carrying of all things a sink. and this ends a 6 months saga, filled with accusations and legal challenges. his 1st movers head of the company was reportedly firing at least for top executives. that includes the ceo and chief financial officer of twitter. musk announced the acquisition by tweeting the bird is freed, but the european commission, as you can see, was quick to remind the billionaire that in europe twitter would have to fly by you rules. there are certain activities which are not compliant with a v and with the rules, regulations and laws in the member state. things related to hey, speech to criminal activities, to terrorism, et cetera, et cetera are joining me now from one. this is kristin salumi in new york christian,
6:03 pm
do we have any idea at this point in time? what this means for twitter is nearly 240000000 users. well, it's a great question. no official announcements on that friday, but ill on mosque as long said that he wants to roll back restrictions on the platform. he's said in the past that he would reinstate former president. donald trump, trump, you may recall, was removed from the platform for tweets that were deemed inciteful relating to that capital riot where violence broke out at the nation's capital. this has raised a lot of concern among civil society groups who say that they want more content moderation. not less. they're worried about hate speech and misinformation permeating the platform. if he goes through and does a rollback, those restrictions must seem to acknowledge these concerns in
6:04 pm
a tweet that he put out directed at advertisers. on thursday, he explained his vision for the platform, saying that he sees it as a public square where people can express differing views and debate, differing views, a way to bring people together. but he also said that it couldn't be a free for. 7 all hell scape, where anything could be said with no consequences. and clearly he's concerned that advertisers might be turned off if people start withdrawing their platforms, their profiles in protest of his acquisition. president trump, however, expressed some remarks and made some remarks in response to the takeover. he said that he is glad that the platform is now in, quote, seen hands. he made that statement on his own social media platform, which he started after months after he was taken off of twitter. kristen,
6:05 pm
thank you very much. a must begin questioning the acquisition within weeks of its agreements, accusing executives of misrepresenting how many users the platform has. in july, he announced that he was abandoning the deal, so twitter sued him and that trial was set for october. must tried to negotiate a lower price but failed. he finally said that he'd go ahead with the original deal . if, if twitter dropped it lawsuit, the judge put the case on hold until friday, giving him 3 weeks to close the deal, which he is now done. all right, this bring in den ives on this. he's a managing director of when bush securities. he joins us from new york in transit. i might add, dan, good to have you with us. what do you expect twitter to look like under musk? i think there's more questions than answers in terms of that because there's a lot of, i think uphill battle in terms of what you can do with freedom of speech. mine is ation talk about trump,
6:06 pm
but then it's all about advertising. that's really going to be the question now going forward. for most the easy part was buying it, the hard part is going to be fixed. so look, i want to run some quotes by you. and one that we just heard from our correspond, kristin salumi must grow today that he sees twitter as a quote, digital town square where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner without resorting to violence. but, but he also wrote this, that said twitter obviously cannot become a free for all health scape, where anything can be said with no consequences and quotes. so my question to you is, how do you thread that needle? that's the fine balance that you're going to have to strike to me very difficult. hercules in task. and that's why this all seems easy on a white board, but now he actually has to do it. and remember, 44000000000 in my opinion, is probably the most overpaid for a tech em in the acquisition. and aol time warner continues to be
6:07 pm
a head scratcher. and that's really going to be the focus going forward. yeah, you don't like the business side of this, but, but i suppose eli must, doesn't really mind. he's the richest man on earth. it doesn't really matter to him whether he's overpaid for twitter, right. all like when you are the rich person, the world, you can do that and i think now it's all going to be about. you also have other investors involved. you need to bring advertisers back onto the platform, and twitter has been a disaster for the last 45 years. so it, when it comes to much balancing all this is really going to be the focus and you're trying to cut, potentially 30 me being 50 percent of the the workforce. and that's, that's going to be some difficult days ad for twitter. but it comes down to the shareholders, it to pop the champagne moment, give in what they ultimately got from must give us one prediction for musk era, twitter that maybe we're not thinking of right now. we're all focused on freedom of speech. what are we not thinking of? i think it's more that we chat model in china that sealed to my goal to get there.
6:08 pm
but that's going to be 23 years down the road for now. i, there's gonna be more turmoil and positives coming out of this for must. but ultimately his back was against the wall. i mean, he recognized going to court. he was gonna use gov for cold feet, but now today, musk is not just the use on twitter. he owns it. all right, dan, i thank you very much for joining us on the show today. appreciate your. thank you . all right, with a ukrainian power company says rushing attacks on the power grid have cut capacity to the capital key by around a 3rd. most recent russian strikes have led to warnings that rolling blackouts will be longer and more frequent. henry faucet reports on how keys people are coping. when the darkness falls or the keys, it falls, heavy street lights turned off. household saving power, neighbourhood cycling through blackouts of the weeks of sustained russian strikes

6:14 pm
lot of money now or bring it to me there we're delivering government. we've got them ordered in on a recorded a job that they will not be a government in a dumb abad. however, a they are damn to modern or some other noted baby was born a everybody had a right broad day and i did exactly what im run to do
6:15 pm
with whatever on them or did reload them important. they read it to me, it was a senior u. k. government official says northern ireland will hold an election within 12 weeks. chris heaton harris is the minister responsible for the province, which as part of the united kingdom. his statement comes after politicians failed to meet a deadline to restore a devolved government. one of the main reasons no government has been formed is because of a dispute over the northern island protocol. so what is it? when the u. k left the you, you trade rules were needed because the european union requires strict checks on some goods from non you countries that many potentially creating a hard border between northern island, which is part of the u. k. and the republic of ireland, which is a european country in each country, but that would report the peace deal that ended decades of violence between the 2. so that you can, that you signed a deal that included
6:16 pm
a protocol which effectively moved the border between northern island and the rest of the u. k. some goods arriving from britain and now checked at northern irish ports. well, a unionist party, the d u p says that that undermines their place in the u. k. and it has refused to let northern island form a government until the protocol is scrapped. rory challenge is in belfast for a story. this election is on the cards. what can you tell us about this at this stage? yeah, elections coming and the 2nd round of elections, it will be this year. a little recap of where we are and how we've got here. so basically, back in february, in objection to the, nor the non protocol that you would just outlining the details of their, the d p. the democratic also you need his party basically pulled out of the power
6:17 pm
sharing executive collapse that executive under the good friday agreement. there is this sharing of executive functions ready between the d u p which wants northern are to stay as hopefully aligned to the united kingdom as possible. and shouldn't fain, which ultimately would like northern ireland to join with the republic of ireland. now, because that's the executive was collapsed by the people pulling out there were elections in may in those elections, shin phase one for the 1st time. and they became the dominant party. but there has never been a functioning executive of the back of those elections because the d. p kept on blocking the formation of a new one and her and that is the system that is basically just run out the time the deadline has expired. at that time, at one minute past midnight on friday morning, the automatic,
6:18 pm
the result of that is that's what we've just heard from chris eden harris that they have to be new elections. we don't know the date of those yet, but they are going to be held within 12 weeks from now. so that we are, that is the result of breakfast. and it's the results of the objections to the northern mine and our protocol of the, the d. u p. rory, this problem isn't going anywhere because this border issue goes to the core of politics in ireland, in northern ireland. so where do you see this going from here? well, that's a very good question and it's a question being asked here as well. i spoke to an m p for one of the other parties in the store, one assembly and the lions party, which is nonsense here. and it tries to bridge the divide between the, the, the protestants and catholics and be a kind of
6:19 pm
a centrist option. i asked peter mc reynolds, what he thought about elections, and here's what he told me. she's going to change nothing. the people not, not and said what they wanted 6 months ago. i think if there's going to be an election in the coming weeks, they're going to say the exact same thing again. and it's actually going to entrench the division that we have and you can see why he thinks that because if the d fees objection is to the northern irish protocol, local elections here in northern ireland are not going to change that protocol. so it back to the question, what happens if we have another route of elections that don't get us anywhere? there are a couple of options for what happens in that event you out to see. and they are basically to either go to direct rule from london for a period. of course, shouldn't fade, would object to that because they don't like direct rule from london. or we would
6:20 pm
have some kind of joint authority over northern ireland that would be london. and dublin acting together, and of course the d p was like that because i don't like indian any interference from dublin. so you can see how this problem at the moment looks intractable. peter mc rentals. so saying that there is another option that he would like to see, and that is basically breaking the veto these 2 parties, the d p. m should fain have over the store wants assembly where, where either of them can collapse the assembly at any points of that choosing. that's what he thinks would be a way to actually get this part of the country moving once again re challenge in belfast. thank you very much. report was presented at un general assembly on thursday saying the israeli occupation of the palestinian territories is indistinguishable from settler colonialism. this is from the special rapport ter, on human rights in the territories her predecessor had used a different term,

6:23 pm
is the un special rapport tour on human rights in palestine. and she has heard the criticism. she says that it actually prevents engagement with the actual substance of her report. they find it very convenient to dismissing any one who raises criticism against the current practices of their israeli government, or as on to semitic. these is convenient because it allows them or not when gauge with the substance of a fully, well, a solidly documented report. and again, i intend, i mean i want to stress said that this is my, unto semitic, the anti semitic label. he's been used for human rights mechanism, or, and reputable, and yours are at international and domestic level against palestinians and israelis . so this is why i'm saying it's very convenient, but i, i hope that others can see, can see that it's
