1:01 am
ah, on the back of this is al jazeera life and loved, and also coming up, a suspect is charged with attempted homicide after a brutal attack on the husband of the us house speaker, nancy pelosi renewed fighting between government troops and m 23 rebels forces thousands from their homes in the east and d r c. and brazil's battle ground, the state that could swing the result of sunday's presidential election. ah, to his new owner, ellen mosque has given his 1st hint as to how he might moderate content. all the world's most influential social media platforms. he came hours after the deal for mosques. acquisition was finally sealed, and after he fired, at least for top executives, including the ceo and chief financial officer mosque had until friday to complete
1:02 am
that $44000000000.00 deal. he signed back in april. it will mark the end of a 6 month soccer field with accusations and legal challenges, but the focus mouse shifts to help musk might shape the tone and texture of a platform used by millions of uses. and whether that may include the return of some of twitter, small, controversial faces early on friday must tweet that the company would form a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. and that no major content decisions or account reinstatement would happen before the council meets christian for me as in new york with more on the platforms future you know on mosque has made no secret that he wants to roll back some of the restrictions on the platform he's said in the past that he would reinstate president donald trump. he thought removing him from the platform after the january 6 capital riots was inappropriate. but he did mention today on twitter facing concerns and
1:03 am
possible backlash from advertisers that he would be forming this content. moderation council to review decisions like that. he said no major content decisions or reinstatement of accounts would happen and told this counsel had a chance to meet. and so while he has described himself as a free speech, absolutist, he has also said that he realizes that you can't have free for all hell escape those were his words of free for all hell scape, where anything could be said with no consequences. clearly he is concerned about keeping advertisers on the platform, especially if a controversial figure like donald trump is returned. trump himself said today that he was happy to see that twitter was now in, quote,
1:04 am
sane hans. but he also said that he preferred his own social media platform that he's been using since getting kicked off twitter. so even if he is reinstated, questionable whether or not he'll be back. well, chris stuck a walk, a is a freelance tech jealous. he thinks mosque buying, twitter wasn't a good money move. we've already seen the reaction on twitter all these people, he think this is a fantastic development. this is something that is brilliant for the future to attend. but in reality for most uses, i think it is concerning and we've seen likewise, people on twitter deciding, well maybe the time is. busy up for me on this platform and i won't bother after all, continue on it. he wouldn't buy this if it wasn't to try and make money. and i think that is potentially where the biggest challenge is because twitter. busy ultimately has been relatively poorly run for the last 10 or so years and it wasn't the best idea for him to really take this report over the old $54.20 per share,
1:05 am
which is more than the company was were on the stock market. so yes, to try and recruit some of that. we have a little bit of a clue in terms of what he wants to do. twitter recently has been rolling out subscription services including twitter, blue, what you pay around about $5.00 a month for the razor, him that he wants to expand that and also maybe make other features paid for. but we, we don't really know in this is kind of the, the big or known in the big challenge with the musk is that he's, he's so based on whim that he doesn't really know what's going next. it's very difficult to discern when he's talking about twit to, it's a huge public for him. what exactly is coming next? ah, husband of us house speaker, nancy pelosi has been violently assaulted during a break in san francisco home pool. pelosi suffered a skull fracture, and serious injuries is arm and hands, but is expected to make

1:19 am
e. u and new system was needed to regulate trade because the e require strict checks on some goods from non e u countries that men potentially creating a hard border between northern ireland, which is part of the u. k. and the republic of ireland and e, you nation, but that would rip apart the peace deal that and a decades of violence. so the u. k and the e you signed a deal that included a protocol that effectively move the border between northern ireland and the rest of the u. k. some goods arriving from britain and now checks and northern irish ports, the leading unionist party, the d. p says that undermines their place in the united kingdom is refused to let northern ireland form a government until the protocol is scrapped. where we challenge has the support from belfast. time has run out for northern ireland to restore his devolved government. last ditch effort to break the political deadlock have failed. so northern ireland must now head back to the poles. i hear it when party said that
1:20 am
they really do not want an election at all. but nearly all of them, but parties who signed up to the rules, the laws, that means i need to call an election. so you'll hear more from me on that particular point. next week, the heart of the disagreement is the northern ireland protocol. it's the part of the u. k. post brett that deal with the e. u. that's resulted in a trade border between northern ireland and the rest of the u. k. to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, which is in the e. u. for the d u p. one of the assemblies 2 main power sharing parties. this is unacceptable. they believe northern ireland and the u. k. are indivisible. there's not a single unionist who supports the protocol, so it falls by the very definition that the british government and even the defined as progress in northern ireland where people have to work together to make the
1:21 am
progress. in february, the d u p pulled out of the power sharing executive collapsing it. and since elections in may, the d u. p has blocked efforts to get things moving again. other parties in the store want assembly on impressed. i feel angry by, but i saw yesterday in the and the need some be chamber. peter mc reynolds is from the alliance party, was tries to bridge divisions between national list and unionists. communities, actions going to change nothing. the people who are 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 generations of political violence all but finished with in 1998 good friday agreement. it established power sharing across the secretary and divide and prohibited any hard board with island to the south. all of this is now in danger. northern islands, political paralysis is one of the most serious after shocks from the earthquake set off by breaks it. the traps that breaks it,
1:22 am
laid for peace and politics and northern ireland were predicted. and now playing out, it's going to take immense effort from belfast to brussels from london to dublin to sort all of this out. maurice islands out a 0 belfast opinion polls suggest brazil is about to have one of the closest presidential votes has ever seen. 2 days before the run off, there are just a few points between incumbent jaya, ball, sanara, and challenger louis unnecessarily let the silver that's why i saw on the southern state of minister ice as our latin american added sir lucy newman reports. it could be the voters there who decide this winner in this highly competitive race. the capital of minas jed ace doesn't stop moving to the sound of campaigning. this is preserves more significant battle ground state. where left is candidate lou let. the cba has a very slim lead,
1:23 am
but we haven't been at once the incumbent president jane ball so now don't out of office and she's appealing to women who make up more than half the voters. amazon, if i want to be both scenario is a misogynist and sexist man, he'd made offensive comments to female journalists to women. he said that women should earn less because they get pregnant. so if both scenario wins, women lose amazingly, please alive here. most americans with. c cleanest good ice is regarded as a micro sample of the brazilian electorate. an at this busy watering holes politics is on everyone's lips. oh no, so hold on. is that so? no, we've never had anything like this kind of polarization in brazil before joe thought it got both the nora or is my man. i'm not going to vote for
