ah ah ah this is the w news. my front burner, the world's richest man, snaps up twitter for $44000000000.00. tesla found in on moscow wants to use it to uphold free speech and says, the social media platform that matters vital to the future of humanity and debate. it also, the program ukraine accuses russia of trying to disrupt the supply of weapons from its allies, at least 5 people that kill that a series of missile strikes on railway stations, turkey jails,

a human rights campaign for life. osmond caraballo is found guilty of trying to overthrow the government charges. he says a fabricated beijing stocks up on process and household goods. so shoppers fear a new lock down to contain chimes and worst coping 19 outbreak for 2 years. ah, i'm forgetting welcome to the program. tesla c e o. in on must cause clenched a deal to buy twitter for $44000000000.00. he describes himself as a free speech, absolutist, and pledge to be more lenient on policing use, a speech building their 1st announced plans to buy the social media platform lesson 2 weeks ago. the board organized a so called poison pill to ward off the hostile bed. but has not accepted it

go straight to suit me, some escandone in washington. welcome. assume lisa, how significant is this decision to accept of mister musk speed? films really is huge news. he said at a low mask is the richest man in the world. he is buying what is arguably the most influential social media platform in the world. some people might not agree with that, but if you look at the fact that leaders around the world use twitter to communicate, you certainly could make that argument. he's buying it for the sum, $44000000000.00. the deal works out to a $54.20 a share. and you know, the way that this came down itself was pretty extraordinary. some of our mute viewers might remember that it was just earlier this month that ellen must can announce he was buying this big stake in twitter. and the board decided that a take over by ellen must, would not be good for the company that because he had offered to pay a bunch of money for twitter without saying how he would come up with that money. so they put in what you mentioned already this poison pill. it's basically

a legal maneuver that makes it hard for a shareholder to buy a bigger steak while fast forward to now. and the board of twitter negotiated with the lawn musk again today and decided to go ahead and the big turning point. it seems as that ellen musk was able to line up that financing in the meantime. so putting together the funds for that 44000000000 to follow through with the steel. that is apparently what changed minds on the board and just to note fill, it looks good for twitter on the stock market share price rising more than 5 percent in trading. so that appears to be a sign that investors are confident about this deal. you must describes himself as a free speech absolutist. what changes is he like to make to twitter? so the question fell, a lot of people are asking, i mean eli mosque has made no secret about the fact that he wants to see some serious changes at twitter. first and foremost, as you said, he thinks that should be a bastion of free speech. he believes that twitter, which is a platform, by the way, he really likes to use himself that contact,

moderation goes way too far in the current state and in the press statement that came out in announcing the steel. he said that free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy and that twitter has to be the digital town square. so that's probably one change. he's also says that he wants to make the algorithms open source. so basically those algorithms decide what you and i see on our timelines on twitter. and he believes that there needs to be more transparency so people can understand what content is pushed up on their time life and why. he also said that he wants to defeat the spam box and authenticate all humans. so those are just um, some of the ideas were certainly likely to hear more from him on the coming days, probably on twitter itself. ok, the stock market to reacting well to this and use what other reactions have received well, ever since the rumors were trickling in here in the us we saw tons of reactions on social media around the world. and here it really is

a question of what you think of ilan mosque. so the people who think that twitter should be a platform for free speech, believe that you learn mosque is really a blessing for twitter. he has a lot of supporters on the platform. and so it was really interesting even to see people tweeting at him applying for top positions in the company saying consider me as vice president for twitter. but the overwhelming trend i thought was, well do stay prophecies really, that twitter, after learning to moderate content and take responsibility for content on his platform that you learn moscow reopened these gates and that people like the former president donald trump, could be reinstated. and to sum that all up fill the hash tag that was trending all morning here was leaving twitter. so that tells you at least how some people are taking this news. thank you for that. so me, assuming so much can the in washington take a look, the latest developments and the war in ukraine and calves, the military commander, say russia is try to disrupt the flow of weapons into ukraine. with

a series of coordinated mythos strikes on railway stations, at least 5 people had been killed in the attacks and many more injured a railway station in flames. in western ukraine. russia continues to attack targets all across the country. both military and civilian. well, did railway maintains the lifeline of the country. and so indeed it's not all over the debt important for revolution grants, but just for passenger traffic with dr. carr please, we can only garzon things, not local trains are starting to run again. and keith buses and trams to this is about this, not a while. official say it's too soon to call the city safe from missile or rocket attacks in life. and the capital is slowly returning to normal. although nobody knows for how long it was donald,

while they only recently reopened to the public. the staff at this bar have kept busy since the invasion began in criminals to let the cooking meals for soldiers and emergency workers. my special distract opa chill hood about them, even though we've served almost $13000.00 portions already. the kitchen is small and there isn't a single cook among us only bar tenders and waiters, but we manage this in eastern ukraine. it's a different picture. our keith receives incoming fire every day, but the city remains in ukrainian hands. with one analysts says ukraine's defenses are likely to keep russia from making dramatic gains in the near future until one side is so it gets to weaken by attrition. we're probably not going to see massive changes in the line at the village here, village there, but we're not going to see these are goods creek. i operations for people perhaps soon. now, once, once i get to week, that will change. so i think we're in this morse more static slow moving

a traditional age. but then when that and 2nd, a very this is in the latest upload from ukraine's as of regiment. if you're not a video claiming to show people hiding in the tunnels and bunkers below, mario poll shows a desperate picture food and water, a running out children where diapers made from trash bags. and the weary survivors feel trout in a senseless war. yeah, up on behalf of all residents of mario, apple. i addressed the world on my he can on please help us. we want to live. we want to live in our own city in our own country, a normal peaceful life. but we're tired of these bombings these constant airstrikes . how long will this last? yes. who are we being rescued from what i do not understand, help us. stop the aggression of the russian federation against my country wouldn't . why you, me. above ground, russia's military is slowly trying to grind out

a victory for those caught in the violence. time is a luxury they can't afford will they w. jon phillips showed says in the veil in weston ukraine, he told me more about the latest asterix. yes, indeed, there have been many arab alerts a year in western ukraine throughout the day. actually, there's one alert active right now. this is why we are in the shelter at the moment . a here in levine, the air defense systems have been successful, but there have been at least her 45 strikes and, and train stations and, and western and, and central ukraine. one strike just around 200 kilometers from the polish border. several people were injured to several people died, or they have been a text on redwin infrastructure before. but this says definitely reached an eugene dimension to day and some say it can also be interpreted as a, as

a warning to the west. since a high ranking usaa legation has been traveling in the very same region a just some hours before. right. and there was supposed to be a face fire in mario po today. yes, sir, actually a russia announced a ceasefire some hours ago for a bachelor from what we are hearing all attends to establish a humanitarian curry door to evacuate. the civilians still trapped in the steel plant and mar, your call, have not been successful. ukrainian officials say there has been no bilateral agreement, sir, regarding the establishment of such a humanitarian corridor. and they have been too many announcements of by the russians in the past. as some officials also reported valid sir, new fighting are going on around the plan, sir. so at the moment, the ukrainian officials insist that the united states,

the united nations and the red cross should be involved in any evacuation attent. i and he met the don bass, a region in the east of ukraine, which russia seems determined to take what's been happening there. yeah, there's also been fighting in the don bus region throughout the day. the governor of the donnette sca regions set for civilians including 2 children were killed during a russian offensive in the neighboring low hands. region. officials are reported about a massive explosion in a city council building, apparently killing several people. the fighting hasn't reached a level in the dunbar region that was predicted by some observers her in the past weeks. but various sir still continued fighting every day,

causing the death of, of, of many people on a daily basis. okay, thank you for that day w a correspondent to yon phillips shoves individual. take a look at some more stories related to the war r u. s. secretary of defense, lloyd austin, has arrived in germany following talking keith at tomorrow he'll discuss ukraine's defense needs with counterparts. more than 20 countries. nato secretary general dentist dalton, burke will also attend the meeting at the u. s. air base in ramstein. russia has expelled 40 german diplomats from moscow in a tit for tat. move this month to germany, spelt a number of russian staff. german foreign minister described retaliation as expected, but not justified un secretary general and turn the parishes in the turkish capital ankara on a mission to advance ukraine peace negotiations. met with the turkish president bridget time early. well, we'll travel on to moscow and then keith, ukrainian lead

a set to be happy that mister good terrorist is visiting russia 1st. the according turkey has sentenced human rights campaign. osmond kabbalah to life in prison. he was found guilty of attempting to overthrow the government. but the val has been in detention since 2017 and says the charges against him have been fabricated. the ruling by the istanbul caught true loud protests from supporters of horsemen corolla. ah, they vowed that the resistance against the turkish government would continue cavellas long imprisonment without trial had earlier prompted the council of europe to launch infringement proceedings against turkey. many had hoped that would help his case opposition. lawmakers slammed the ruling up the letter that the government is without shame, there just thugs, like the mafia. how can we take them seriously as judges and prosecutors? without cabala was convicted of organizing protests in 2013,

against the building of a shopping center. in istanbul, gacy park, the prosecution claimed he was aiming to topple antwan's government charges. he denies the european court of human rights call the case politically motivated. activists expressed shock at the ruling. it's far worse than anything, any one expected, i think. and i mean, it feels like a kind of a huge act of defiance. coming from the palace. the court also convicted 18 other people on trial with cabala. they were each sentence 218 years in prison. all of the defendants have pledged to appeal the verdict. only to lose dorian jones in east ample has been following the trial, and i asked him about the verdict. was asthma cavellas been sentenced to an aggravated life sentence, and that is the most severe sentence on turkish law books. it means he will be in

solitary confinement for the rest of his life and in eligible for parole. ah, this severe sentence was passed because he was had found guilty of seeking to o for the government. supporting 2013 nationwide protests and the casey movement and, and subsequent 2016 qu, which prosecutor claim were all part of the same conspiracy. 7 other people were also convicted, they were sentenced at 18 years in prison. and this case is deeply, deeply controversial, or the defense lawyer in saying that this whole case was fabricated an earlier call tact. dad acquitted cappella or but he was an subsidy real worth re arrested and then face his latest court case. on top of that, the defense lawyers highlight the fact that one of the judges stood for parliament . the president erred once a k p party in earlier elections and demanded he be removed. they refused that they dismissed the cases or the defense his argument. although one judge did defer and are voted against the acquittal of the conviction, saying that the case was without merit. or any standing,

or we've also seen that now that the, the main opposition or c h p, the leader come are cultural as a condemned that calling this a tyrannical a verdict while president no one has said the justice must prevail. and that can be no peace without justice. further dividing the country this case, and mister cavallo was, was imprisoned without trial from all the 4 years i did that come about was, is been a very long and protracted case and her and has drawn widespread, national and international condemnation over the fight even hell for so long he been tried once and was acquitted and then was held again with further charges were added her to his prosecution. cobbler is an extremely important figure in turkey. civic society, a very wealthy, powerful businessman of philanthropists are made a supporter of terrific turkey civil society, and in many ways that is seen as why he is seen as a target by present heard one, he accused him of being with george soros of turkey, referring to the wealthy hungarian,

germany and france, but that they were subsequently back down on the earth on also step by. but the fact the now cover has been convicted and facing his life in prison, although he can appeal or is set to serve a court. deep risk between token is western allies. thank you for that. dorian dorian jones in istanbul, favoring the chinese capital beijing are rushing to stock up on groceries and household goods as covered. maintain case numbers, increase a federal authorities will lock the city down on china. so strict 0 coded policy. as a country struggles with its worst outbreak for 2 years rushing to be ready in the event of a lockdown. these are just some of the millions of residents stockpiling essentials after authorities sparked fears of an impending lockdown. government assurances that there is enough food have done little to dissuade cautious locals with cues forming outside some supermarkets while in others,

there is a new iron curtain coming into the europe, then fins hope to be on the western side of that cut. in the best case scenario, that curtain would be finland's, 1300 kilometer border with russia. worst case scenario, finland, which like ukraine is outside of nato, becomes a kremlin target until the february invasion fins preferred this non aligned status . having built their own powerful military with one of the largest weapons stockpiles in western europe and a high proportion of citizens willing and trained to fight if necessary. we have very tough defense forces here, and we have very bigger as a reservist organization here, almost like 100000. but now a decision on whether those assets could become nato's northeastern flank is expected within weeks, widely predicted to be positive after a spike in public support following moscow's attack. and the finish parliament is debating the question of membership. as the government seeks consensus before
