e u has threatened sanctions south to twitter suspended the accounts of more than half a dozen journalists who write about the company and its new owner, ellen musk. they include reporters from the new york times cnn of the washington post mosque treated that he couldn't accept that his real time location could be shared in what's known online as docs. in saying that it endangered his family, he said the twitter would release a feature indicating the reasons for any suspension. and that rules banning the publishing of personal information also applied to journalists, alzheimer's gable as under reports from new york. well, there's been a lot of shock, quite frankly, because this was very unexpected. and it wasn't really announced in advance at all . and all of the journalists that were had their account suspended, very prominent journalist for very large news organizations, cnn, the washington post the new york times. what they all had in common or have in
7:07 pm
common is they were all tech journalists that were covering twitter as a company and covering ellen musk takeover of twitter. this year. a few of them had been somewhat critical of the takeover and of you on must. but nothing that would cause any sort of red flags. it would cause you to say that they would need their account suspended at all. so this certainly is come as a surprise not only to those journalists, all of whom have said that they got no warning of this, and we're not given any reason whatsoever on why their account was suspended. as a certainly calling into question. now a lot of free speech issues as well. people are saying, you all must have bought twitter in his own words to make it a more a place of more free speech. but clearly this move of suspending. these journalists seems to defy that twitter no longer has a public relations department or a media relations department. the response to questions from journalists,
7:08 pm
elan muska, fired those employees shortly after taking over the company. so it's very hard to get information about what's happening in the company, and it really runs through one personnel and as you are, must himself or concerns about free speech had been raised frequently in the lead up to a long mosques acquisition of twitter. but the suspensions of journalists accounts, a sounding alarm bells. germany's foreign ministry has treated saying the press freedom cannot be switched on and off on a whim. and the british prime minister spokesman says that regardless of ownership, social media platforms must balance, protecting their users while upholding free speech. in response to the criticism, musk tweeted a poll asking people whether he should unsuspended the accounts of people who tracked his location, jacobo, bash, and gama is the director of justice ship, a judicial think tank. he says there are inconsistencies. any long mosque sanctions . we routinely distinguish between information that might be illegal
7:09 pm
and i don't believe the information question wasn't legal, but with journalists reported it would, it will typically if it's a public interest relating to an opposing the public interest, like, you know, most definitely is. and we would say that this is the core of, of journalism and protected speech. so when, so when you are much crack style on that and without wanting seemingly both changes rules that he's previously committed to a holding. and an incorrect style and journalist with a massive following, who writes critical stories about him and his company. that obviously is incompatible with the ideal of free speech, you know, legally. and of course he has the right to do so, especially within the united states. and in europe, rules are about to change. but so, so he's not violated anybody legal right to free speech. but he himself has said
7:10 pm
that he wants to strengthen what you might call a culture of free speech on twitter. and i think that was a very laudable addition, but unfortunately his role out has been disastrous. and i think he's on several occasions undermined the very principal that he said that he wanted to hold . namely, strengthening free speech and open dialogue. a caught in kosovo, has convicted a former rebel commander of war crimes that include murder, it found soluble, tortured prisoners in a camp run by the kosovo liberation army during the 1998 to 999 conflict with serbia. he's been sentenced to 26 years in prison, but carlo has more from christian a. this is the 1st verdict, since the so called castillo tribunal was established in 2015. and this is the 1st verdict for the war crimes committed during the kosovo war. as the judge explained
