8:03 pm
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 is 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 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 all hell scape,
8:04 pm
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, sane hands. he made that statement on his own social media platform, which he started after months after he was taken off of twitter, the husband of us. how speaker nancy pelosi has been attacked during a break in couples home in san francisco. the assailant is believed to have shouted, whereas nancy before beating 82 year old paul pelosi with a hammer. nancy pelosi was in washington, dc at the time of the attack with her security team. her husband is now in hospital, but it's expected to make
8:05 pm
a full recovery. she harbor 20 joins. it's now from washington. d. c. she have one assumes that there would be tight indeed, very tight security around the pelosi household. we know what happened, how this happened. only one, nancy pelosi is in the household, but the leadership of congress in the senate and the house got 24 hour protection from us capitol police. but that does not extend to family members. it doesn't extend to just normal rank and file members of congress unless there is some sort of specific threats. and they've been, they've been elected to and they think that the some reason for, you know, for, for, for 24 hour monitoring and protection. so the 20 for our capitol police unit was with nancy pelosi, who was and who was in washington dc. we're getting more and more details now about the attack. we're expecting a press conference as well, from the san francisco police department to begin at any moment, but we're hearing what we have so far. as the attacker cut around 2 24 am local
8:06 pm
time the intruder got into the back. he attacked 82 year old paul below see with a hollow who suffered blunt force trauma on the head, and the body has swelling, but it is expected to to recover. the latest information we've just gleaned from us sources is the suggestion, but the intruder was trying to tie, pull, pelosi up, and was trying and wouldn't wait for nancy pelosi to eventually arrive at the house . this is, this is the latest about what we're getting from some us sources. we're expecting about police that police press conference to occur any at any moment now, she have were less than 2 weeks to a major election in the us. are there any connections being made at this hour between the attack and the political climate? we just don't know what the motive is at the moment, or we know all the details that you've mentioned via taco came in. specifically
8:07 pm
looking for nancy pelosi. we do have some statistics we know from the us capital police that a number of threats to members of congress a skyrocketed over the last several years. for example, between in 2019 there were 303930 9 traps. and he's verbal threats. we should, we should be very care. 3939 traps that were recorded by us capital police by 2020 that had risen to 9625. but very few arrests. very few actual incidents of violence. busy of any sort, and in fact in the, in the us capital police, his own words, most of these are just people with quite mental health issues pose absolutely no threat. so we always have to be very careful about that difference between angry rhetoric, violent rhetoric and actual incidents of violence, but clearly off january and 6th. clearly with some of the rhetoric. and we're saying from some political candidates for them, for the mid terms with the democrats being accused, for example, if their child abuse bringing in illegal immigrants to spread french,
8:08 pm
long's people to kilo republicans. and so there is that high tension that january 6th insurrection will generally drive to the capitol hill, where in fact nancy pelosi was also targeted by some of those who invaded the u. s . congress in january. so that's better, is that sense of height and fair and on the department? homeland security has in fact warned of potential political violence, but the actual incidents of violence are relatively low, but that threats, that sense of threat is very, very real look. thank you very much. i know you'll be following that press conference when it happens, so keep us surprised of any developments. thank you. a fighting is intensifying and eastern done thus, russia is shelling the cities of mc alive and batman where there is a fierce battle for control. it's forces are edging closer to seizing the city. mercenaries from the russian military company, wagner group were also involved. i said big has more now from backwards. there's
