i want to talk about if you have any regrets. and, you know, i think you were booed at 3 dave chappelle concert. a little. well, some say a little. some say a bit more. i think your own lawyer said you couldn't get a fair trial in san francisco because there are lots of people that don't necessarily like you here. yeah, but you know, i was wrong. he was wrong, i guess, because i was acquitted by the san francisco jury unanimously. so. but i guess, look, do you have any regrets about buying twitter? i think it was something that needed to be done. you know, it's i'd say like the pain level of twitter has been extremely high, so hasn't been some sort of party. so it's been really quite a stressful situation over the last several months.

not an easy one. i was, but apart from the pain, i mean. so it's been quite painful. but i think at the end of it, it should have been done, i think. were there many mistakes made along the way? of course, you know. and but you know, all�*s well that ends well. and so i feel like we're headed to a good place. you know, we're roughly breakeven. i think we're trending towards being cash flow positive very soon, like literally in a matter of months. the advertisers are returning, i think the quality of recommended tweets has improved significantly. and we've taken a lot of feedback from people that have looked at the open source recommendation algorithm. and we've made a lot of improvements even since that was made open source, and we're going to keep doing that. so overall, i think

the trend is very good. and if you want to watch the full interview with elon musk — it's available right now — on the bbc news website. away from twitter — all attention will be on northern ireland today — as us presidentjoe biden begins his visit to belfast to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. he's been meeting with the uk prime minister rishi sunak — and has a busy day ahead. the windsor framework will be discussed — that's the new brexit deal for northern ireland agreed with the european union. northern ireland is the only part of the uk to have a land border with the eu at the republic of ireland. the signing of the windsor framework in february did ease fears over post brexit trade rules but the democratic unionist party is still not on board so what does the future hold for businesses in northern ireland? gordon milligan is the chair of the institute of directors for northern ireland.

give us a snapshot because you are in a position to see what business was like before the deal was signed and a business now, talk to me about how ireland has changed as a place to invest. ~ ., ., , , to invest. without doubt in my view northern ireland _ to invest. without doubt in my view northern ireland has _ to invest. without doubt in my view northern ireland has benefited - northern ireland has benefited hugely from the good friday agreement. i was therefore 30 years of the troubles, it was a bad and sad time for the history of northern ireland. plea the agreement business was difficult, limited foreign investment and companies were not growing. northern ireland was not on the tourist map. fast forward to

following the agreement, north american organisations have invested 1.5 billion and two organisations and businesses in northern ireland. that it had people unemployed in north american organisations and two examples are all and citibank employing circa 5000 people. and tourism is on the map, and belfast alone this year 175 clue ships will dock bringing £20 million into the economy. as a result of the good friday agreement business is in a much better place. we have challenges and much to do but definitely compelling plea and post the ad very different environments.

northern ireland parties and why he wasn't discussing a trade deal but he did not answer those questions, he did not answer those questions, he commented on what he said was a heck of a view from the upper floors of the hotel. the prime minister sat smiling as they met over a cup of tea. this visit is continuing and pleasant biden will be heading to ulster university shortly to give a speech. there are just under 100 days to go until the fifa women's world cup, which is co—hosted by australia and new zealand. england's lionesses played the australian matildas last night at brentford stadium, and the matildas won 2—0. england's 30—game unbeaten run under sarina wiegman came to a humbling end with me today is ceo of football australia, jamesjohnson, to discuss the preparations for the fifa women's world cup and the recent decisions undertaken by the club.

ou. back to northern ireland, waiting for pleasant biden leaving that hotel. meeting with leaders of the five main northern ireland political parties. we know he has said as he landed that he wants peace but we know he will be gentle in his conversation with those political leaders, he has to trade a rather tricky path and in fact the dup have accused him of being anti—british. he has said today he is not anti—british, the white house have insisted that as he began this series of engagements they said he was there to listen as he had tea

with rishi sunak and he said the trip was an opportunity to reaffirm support for the good friday agreement, 25 years after the peace deal was reached. and also to encourage the restoration of power—sharing. something that collapsed due to the dup protest over post—brexit rules. now the weather. hello again. wet and windy start to the day and that is how it is set to continue. the strongest winds will be with exposure in parts of the west and the south but even these areas it will be windy. we have sunshine on offer as well. a lot of showers, some merging to give some longer spells of rain. but it is the wind that really will be a feature of the weather.

the met office has recently updated the weather warnings. yellow warnings but with exposure in south and west wales, the north coast of cornwall and devon, we could have gusts up to 75 miles an hour. through the english channel, gusts of up to 60 miles an hour. even inland in the south, gusts up to 50 miles an hour. for some of us, it is not going to be as windy as that but it will be in the northern isles and that wind and the shower is making it feel cool. this evening and overnight, many of the showers ease but we will have bands of showers pushing from the west towards the east. the wind will gradually ease as well and it is going to be another chilly night. temperatures close to freezing in parts of the highlands. so as we head on into tomorrow. tomorrow, the low pressure driving our weather today continues just a week and a touch as it pushes into the north sea. just to weaken a touch as it pushes into the north sea. the isobars open out, so tomorrow is going to be a day of sunshine and some showers. but fewer showers than we are looking at today and we are also looking at the wind is being much lighter than today as well. looking at the wind being much

lighter than today as well. temperatures as a result won't feel as cold. we are looking at eight in the north, to about 13 as we push down towards the south. you can see the signs of something else just coming in from the atlantic. that is this area of low pressure and it looks like during friday, it could take a swipe at southern counties of england and also wales. the northern extent of this still open to a bit of question. if you are doing anything outdoors, do keep in touch with the weather forecast. push north and it's a mixture of sunshine and also some showers. those temperatures 8 in the north, to about 13 as we sweep down towards the south. heading on into the weekend, there will be dry weather, some of us will see some showers or some rain at times but the main feature is going to get milder and milder again at the start of next week.

live from belfast, this is bbc news. joe biden promises to listen to northern ireland's leaders as he meets british prime minister rishi sunak on the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. in the next hour, president biden is due to speak here at ulster university in belfast. we will bring you that live. our other main story: elon musk tells the bbc he is confident twitter�*s advertisers will return and he can make the company profitable once again but that it hasn't been easy.
