how much do you love x, the platform previously known as twitter? enough to pay for a subscription, every month? that is the bet elon musk seems, willing to make. he has made it known that soon, all users might have to pay a small charge. it is the best way he says to rid the platform of the bots, the millions of automated accounts, many of which are pushing the mal information the company is struggling to purge. but is it that? or is it the much—publicised fall in ad revenues? musk has already told us, the advertiser boycott at twitter, has led to a decline in revenues of 60%. let's speak to emmet ryan, business & technology correspondent at business post. is this the remedy to mr musk�*s solution to the bug problem? i is this the remedy to mr musk's solution to the bug problem? i think it's desperation _ solution to the bug problem? i think it's desperation pure _ solution to the bug problem? i think it's desperation pure infant - solution to the bug problem? i try “ia; it's desperation pure infant simple. you mentioned, so much revenue already sense musk came in. he made

these comments, benjamin netanyahu, many styles of elon musk, people aren't sure if he's going to actually go through with them or not. in more recent times the more wackier in more designed to get money they are the more likely he is to execute them. i would take this as a serious suggestion as something he wants to do and it could be particularly long term very damaging to the existence of the twitter business. do you think it would collapse? i think he's got to realise when it comes to people spending money online its firm nothing to one p. everything at 1p is are given from nothing when you're used to something beer free are mostly free. or even partially free. that little 1p is very difficult. if you want to use this you're going to have to pay suggestion, it can make an awful lot of users not necessarily out of spite but a far greater risk despite or it will be. i'm not clear i want

coming on this evening. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. the first stop forjo riley and her trusty e—bike is a restaurant at the top of st ives. joe is the lead volunteer on a community compost project collecting raw food waste from businesses and then delivering it to a local orchard all via pedal power. for me, food waste is a really valuable resource and it actually doesn't make sense to use the resources to take it somewhere else to be composted if we're just going to buy it back and use it here. so we save resources by keeping it local and itjust makes sense to keep this really valuable resource here in the community. it's then just a few more hills to st ives community 0rchard, where the volunteers are very grateful to be filling their compost bins for the apple trees, fruit and veg gardens as well asjoe's. there's now another e—bike available and a call for more volunteers
