ah, hello, i'm need burka. this is the al jazeera and use our life from london. coming up, the u. s. attorney general appoints an independent lawyer to lead the investigations into aspects of the capitol hill, riots and the classified documents founded. donald trump's florida residence a mass exodus from twitter as stuff reject ellen muffs ultimatum to sign up to car cool, working or leave warnings. a complete shut down of key of power. greatest possible is ukraine says, russian missile strikes have disabled, almost half the countries energy system. and in a last minute you turn well, couple organizers say alcohol would be sold at stadiums during the tournament and cancel. ah welcome to the news. we begin to the united states were an independent lawyer for
12:02 am
special counsel has been name to oversee to justice department investigations, and the former president donald trump. attorney general merritt garland has appointed war crimes prosecuted jack smith to lead probes into the unlawful retention of classified documents trumps mar logo home. and the 2021 capital riots and transfer of power. following the 2020 election. the move comes just a 3 days after trump formerly announced his 2024 candidacy. i do want to point based on recent developments, including the former president's announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election. and the sitting president stated intention to be a candidate as well. i have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special council such an employee, an appointment under scores, the departments commitment to both independence and accountability in particularly sensitive matters. it also allows prosecutors and agents to continue their work
12:03 am
expeditiously and to make decisions indisputably, guided only by the facts and the law, or less, get more on this from heidi j. castro. his lie for us in washington, d. c. and heidi, the tommy of this speaks volumes, doesn't it? mid terms are over 3 days off. of course trump announced he wants to run again for president. absolutely. and you heard the attorney general, mary garland reference that specifically saying that the appointment of the special council, who is jack smith is meant to add a layer of independence in this seemingly obvious conflict of interest that is about to arise. so who is jack smith, the newly appointed special council? well, he is currently working in the international criminal court at the head where he prosecutes war crimes in till 2015. he was here in washington, leading the department of justice's public integrity section and keeley during that
12:04 am
time he won high profile corruption convictions against both republicans and democrats. and that likely is one of the main draws that smith was to this appointment of special council. he is described as a political by those who worked with him in the past and as a, by the book, consummate professional. so now his job is to indeed serve as sort of this firewall in between the investigations into former president donald trump, led by the d o j. and the politics of the moment. and as you've just heard, there's a lot going on with trump, having just announced his new presidential run 3 days ago and with joe biden saying that he intends to run for reelection. so again, that conflict of interest is quite apparent. how can you have one candidate basically overseeing a criminal investigation into their opponent? well, appointing jack smith as the special prosecutor does not solve that completely,
12:05 am
but it does add at least one more layer of independence. though it is to be stated that smith would not be the final say on whether or not to charge donald trump with any crime. and again, he's overseeing now the, the investigation into trumps. efforts to overturn his election defeat in 2020 and the investigation into whether c illegally held on to documents at mar lago after his presidency. so the final decision, though, to what on whether or not to charge trump in any of those instances or the possible obstruction of justice, that will still fall on merrick garland, who is the attorney general still appointed by joe biden. roy and heidi talking of trump, we'll see how to say about all of this. right. he was just on fox news a few minutes ago, calling the appointment of a special prosecutor into his investigations,
12:06 am
political and unfair. his spokesperson has also said that this is the quote, biden department of justice being weaponized. and this is a political stunt. it is important to note that the by the white house has tried to distance itself from any department of justice actions involving trump. it has denied any involvement in this decision, and it's still unclear whether bite and even knew that this announcement was coming today. but it is no surprise that trump supporters will try to dig in and try to find anything in jack smith. background, the newly appointed special prosecutor that they could potentially point to, to discredit him. we saw that undertaking with the previous special council, rob molar who investigated trumps campaign and possible ties to russia. and if you'll remember, molar was a republican and he was appointed by republican attorney general. but even then trump supporters tried to discredit him and called bad investigation political as
12:07 am
well. how did you capture washington dc? many folks will us representative republican representative lauren bobus hers won re election in colorado after her opponent, adam fresh conceded bobo was leading by fewer than 600 votes. the republicans now have 219 seats in the u. s. house, where the democrats have 2124 seats are still to close out still too close to call . bobo rose to prominence in 2020, when she refused to close her gun themed restaurant. in accordance with colorado's cove at 19 restrictions to with his troubles appear to be deepening, would reports that hundreds more twitter employees of quit in response to an ultimatum from new chief executive e law. musk, he told workers to sign up for long hours at high intensity on thursday, or leave with 3 months severance, pain, twitters office buildings around the world have also been closed until next week.
12:08 am
casting doubts on the social media platforms ability to keep operating on friday, ill, or mosque e mail, twitter staff asking any employees who write software code to report to the 10th floor of twitters office in san francisco. gabriel alexander was following events from new york and says musk has been forced to back pedal by twitters employees. he appears to be and he's not only inviting him, he's actually sort of demanding. they come back based on this email that he sent on friday. the last 24 hours or so i've been really remarkable. he said to me in an email to all employees, do not come into the office, the offices will be closed. then he said, all of your key card, so security cards to get into the office will be shut down. then on late thursday, with this ultimatum that he issued to employees saying either quit or commit to my vision for this company. it appears that hundreds,
12:09 am
if not thousands of the remaining employees quit on thursday night, and now on friday morning, must apparently back pedaling now sending out another email, demanding that software engineers and people that code do come back to the san francisco office. and also in that email saying that in twitter employees, the ones that are remaining, at least around the world or in the united states, should immediately fly to, to san francisco. the company headquarters for in person meetings. now it's really remarkable because when you almost bought this company about a month ago, it had 7500 employees around the world. he immediately fired about half so as of about 24 hours ago, there are only about $3000.00 employees left. and now with the mass resignations, it's anybody's guess, but my some estimates as many as half of the remaining 3000 and quit on thursday night. so i think musk is really back pedaling. and calling employees back to the
12:10 am
office now in what is really been erratic behavior by the ceo of twitter. i will for more in this we can speak to journalists, christ stucco walker, who specializes in digital culture. he joins us live from newcastle here in the u. k, welcome to the news our. let me read this to you. this is what somebody has projected on the san francisco headquarters of twitter. you may have seen this lawless oligarch bankruptcy, baby, mediocre man child, petulant pimple, to say people aren't happy with mosque would be something of an understatement. this aggressive business style may work for his other enterprises, but what's happened at twitter? i think that we've seen a huge rebellion. gabriel was outlining that just before in your interview that the idea that twitter employees have called, you know, mosques bluff in some way and said actually, while this may work in your other companies including tesla and space x, the rocket company, it won't work here. and i think it's because we've seen
12:11 am
a very significant shift in how to operate. it was previously a pretty easy going platform, a pretty easy going place. way you could be open with criticism and even musk has come in. he wants to suddenly change out into a, as you said, a very, very hard core working environment in something where descent is not broke very easily. so there is a big shift going on and there is a battle, i think for the future of twitter, between its stuff, anita mosque, and its staff of said, we're going to just blow up the place essentially. and talking about blowing up the play. so what does the mass exodus eat the food resignation or firings being for the future of the entire site? could it collapse? well, yeah, this is troubling and obviously it is worth pointing. you know, that we all just stays away from a significant global event. the world cup in which we expect that there will be lots of people trying to congregate on twitter to talk about it. so this is a really poignant, risky moment for us to be doing this. because obviously that being planned,
12:12 am
put in place for large global events like this, but whether or not there are actually the human beings to enact those plans. if anything goes wrong with less, susan. so twitter entities form a staff that i've been talking to say that they see a pretty rapid degree degradation of the site over the next few weeks with potentially it not being here by christmas. unless something changes. talk about things changing. we gather that math because they're ordered requested bags, maybe people to come back for discussions in san francisco, at least the people who the software engineering skills that he requires. what do you make of that call by ellen musk? i think it's, it's taken one of 2 ways. either he is absolutely desperate for any and all help that he can get. and frankly, if i was in twitter employee shoes, i don't know how easily or how quickly i would be trying to get myself to san francisco to do that. or it could be yet another power play. you know, this is
12:13 am
a man who has used to be getting his own way amongst his staff and amongst the whole entire world. so i think by asking for, for instance, you k based employees to try and end up in san francisco by the end of tomorrow. morning which by the way is possible, but only if you leave literally in the next hour from heathrow. i think you, he's trying to sort of exert his power, but the issue is the emperor has no clothes. now people have said, actually, we don't need to hop to your tune and we're not going to do it. and therefore he has no control over them anymore. chris stockwell walker or jealous north, a great to speak to you. thank you very much. coming off of this new south london, m. 23 fighters make ground in the east and d r. c. wonders president who's accused of backing the group agrees they must cease fire. withdraw from captured territories. the daily trade for water,

now, just 2 days before the world cup begins, organizers have announced that alcohol will not be sold at stadiums. it's a reversal of the original plan to sell beer around the 8 stadium sites within the ticketing perimeter. the public consumption of alcohol and public intoxication are both illegal in qatar, but alcohol will still be available in fan parks and license bars. it's available now obviously in cats are also in license premises and that will continue are some of the additional fans ohms and fun activities. it's also available at the fi, fur fan festival. for example, fifo released a statement saying a decision has been made to focus the sale of alcoholic beverages on the fee for fans. festival are the fan destinations and license venues. removing sales points of beer from stadium perimeters is changed from 2014 when fi for lobby, brazil to change the law to allow the sale of beer in stadiums during the world cup . brazil had banned the sale of alcohol in sports stadiums for safety reasons. and
12:23 am
there was a ban on the sale of alcohol at all champions, league and europa league matches until it was lifted by you. a for in 2018. and in england. fans have been banned from drinking alcohol in the stand since 1985 to stem hooliganism. they can drink in the stadiums, concourse is they were fans. and doha had a mixed reaction to the announcement a handing f e for event. and watching teams is more enjoyable when you're not drinking because drinking will distract you from enjoying the game and apply it to create some problems with the fans. and on the stadium, you're the fund various and get out called somewhere else, i guess. but i mean, it's not the same thing. i know i'm looking forward for that. if i to change the decision, maybe get my to haven't, i don't know. just enjoy the game. these things. yes, i can understand people are disappointed, but we really want them to see the matches in the helene wideman and they will
12:24 am
lower and shuttle. they will love it, or fans will be flocking to dough house cornish throughout the tournament. and the best way to experience the waterfront is on a dow boat, as you and i got your scam discovered. i'm down at dough house pool and it's a great place to come if you've had enough of other noisy fans and all the entertainment, because you can rent one of these are traditional dow boat. it will cost you around $70.00 for a, for our crews, with food. and it's a great way to relax on the golf. one of the 1st things that you notice when you pull out of the port is this giant cruise ship. this one just arrived earlier today, there were 2 others, also buffed here at doe how port they'll house thousands of fans for this world cup those entertainment restaurants on board and a great location too. because you're right in the middle of the city occupying one of the best spots on the bay is stadium 974. it's a very interesting stadium. it's the one that one's been talking about because it's made of containers. it's 1st match will be the one between mexico and poland in the
12:25 am
group stage. on tuesday, samuel went behind the scenes to take a look inside the stadium. you need stadium for a walk up like no other. this is stadium. my 74. ah, waited in go sports area, the pay tribute to cut out history of world wide trade and seafaring. the main construction material is it's the most distinctive feature. 974 shipping containers, 974 is also the international dining code for cutoff. he color containers indicate what they are for. for example, we have the blue one for food. if you want to grab a snack at half time, and if we look further down, we have the yellow full bathrooms and the black ones are the premiums.
12:26 am
and if you ever need medical assistance, we have the green container and the silver ones right here are v i p room. and that's my kind of container. 7 games are being held here, and if the players get nervous before taking the field, there's always this thing the venue will be, can lead, dismantled off the disarming and looking that you see around me here will be little to none. the country that needs it is waterfront flight will be built into an area that people can live and work here . while stadium 97 for physical presence is temporary, it will leave a long lasting leg with
12:27 am
well, this will cut will be one of many, but not in clear how the matches refrained. because for the 1st time, women referees will officiate and amends well cup. and they'll be using what could be game changing technology or race report, a referees whistle, it will be the 1st sound on the pitch when cal 2022 kicks off and much officials are training hall to be ready. there are also preparing to make history as women take charge of men's world cup matches for the 1st time. selina luke and sango of rwanda is one of 3 female referees. 3 more women are among the assistance. we are really proud to please these momentum walking so that the big part of the what gut and in fact seem together. my brother, there have been challenges along the way, but i could say the same for, for men and women here. maybe the challenges have been different, but everybody that you see hara has worked very hard. the referees don't just have to be fit. they'll be making split 2nd decisions. a need to make the right coal or
12:28 am
something that hasn't always been humanly possible. decisions by much officials out well cups can be as crucial to be outcome of games as play as scoring or stopping goals. the referees and kathy will have more help from technology than ever before . semi automated off site technology will make its well cap debut at cats are 2022 . it uses the whole kind of system that's already a fixture in tennis and cricket, and avoids long whites for video reviews that depend on whether an attack is like, is a few millimeters further forward than a defenders. we will have 12 tracking cameras. i am or 4 guys, set up in every single studio and they are that they then work together with the chip in the ball, which is analyzing the exact k m on the ball for every single kick point try to match the cameras, you know, are detecting the player movements huge benefits of the development of the system was, was hi wet, a decision can be made, not only hike,
12:29 am
but it is making all side decisions much more accurately. technology will play a big part of this world cup, but it's main role will be to make sure that football take center stage and not the referees. poor rece out is era. doha, we're also taking center stage if thou hast cornish this whole stretch of 6 kilometers that you can see behind me will be filled with live entertainment, cultural activities. eateries and pop shops for fans to be able to enjoy during the world cup is also the last stop on my traditional down boat crews of doha supposed to fund. of course will bring you more on the woke up later this hour, including can you see who's missing argentina training cattle ahead of the world cup without a famous face plus $21.00 family members are laid to rest in northern garza after building fire in your body a refugee camp also run it off

12:35 am
. government says it will also cut spending, but only after the next general election in 2025, where we talents as more from london market to be well prepared. what was going to be in jeremy hunts or some statements. so there was nothing there than actually disturbed them too much. yes, there was a small drop in the pound, a small drop in stocks, but nothing to major. the same car be said elsewhere though this is the horrified daily mail which is usually a conservative supporting newspaper tories. so describe this. it says calling it one of the most punishing budgets in modern history and says that the british now taxed are the highest level they have been since the 2nd world war. now voters are pretty fed up with the conservatives. there is a real cost of living crisis in this country, and there have been months of economic turmoil. there's been collapsing pounds, soaring inflation and soaring interest rates. recent polls have put the li opposition labor party, well in the lead, and it'll be interesting to see whether,
12:36 am
when the next polls come out, this autumn statement hasn't anything to change their minds. which often pauses as professor of economics and public policy at king's college in london, he joins me life. welcome to the news hour. so the government warned over $33000000000.00 a foot $1000000000.00 worth of spending carts. but where will the pain fall most? well remember that there aren't actually any spending cuts as such in the short term, the spending cuts, they were talking about all coming in after 2025. that's after the next election. and i think most observers think that there is a, that a vanishingly small chance of, even if a conservative government is related of sticking to these plans and a, precisely 0 chance they labor governments b sticking to these plans because they are quite frankly, totally mad. they are not economically,
12:37 am
socially or politically sensible. they simply been put into the budget in order to make a spreadsheet at all. that's just one of the, one of the oddities about this budget. so i think focusing on the spending cuts is actually a bit of a red herring. quite frankly, they're just not going to happen. i think they're, if they did happen, they would be extremely damaging to our economic and social fabric. but since they're not, you know, as i say they're, they're just theoretical cuts. i was 2025, which are gonna happen. i don't think we should worry about them too much. it's more of a short to me or the next couple of years, which is all this government, of course, can really talk about with any credibility that matters. and in that respect of the government is actually an increase spending a little bit, probably not nearly enough to deal with the sort of pressures public services are coming under, but they haven't least made some increases in depending on health and education for the next couple of years and spending increases on the health and education,
12:38 am
but it has been muted. the justice transport and big infrastructure projects will, will have to be put on hold effectively account. no, not, not the next 2 years now into year. in terms of this decision then, you know, to, to potentially move these cuts after the next general election appears to be a purely political decision. as you say, getting things financially over the line with the office of budget responsibility. but should, for instance, labor when the next general election, would they be forced to introduce potential comes well, i think that it, we will see what the economic environment is there. my view is that over the medium term, the u. k needs higher public spending because we faced the challenges of aging society . we need, as you say, to invest infrastructure as well as to fund health and education to recover the
12:39 am
