songs, incitement and stone swear sound prompting the police to rush in, but for most of the people they're wanting to to pay their respect. it doesn't really explain the amount of force being used. well, that's it for now. coming up next, my colleague stephen beardsley, will be here with all the business news. i've told me all logical and he thinks watching, ah, she's got, it's just a thought, see what grade he will be able to do that. it's not a question of whether the next crisis will come,

but only when and how the media will deal with it. how can we stay focused on what is important? shaping tomorrow now, exploring opportunities for media professionals in times of crisis. the global media for june 2020 to your ticket now. ah, the big twitter deal is on hold you on mosque says that he's still committed but needs to take a closer look at some of the numbers. is he getting cold feet? take a look. also on the show, northern ireland struggles to form a government has 2 sides battle over the future of a post brags customs border in the irish sea and the cost of commercial fertilizer are skyrocketing. now some farmers and app are making their own blown. welcome to

the show. i'm seeking fiercely. and burlesque would have you with us is ellen musk bowing out of his multi $1000000000.00 bid for twitter or the business been saying he's putting the deal. he's putting a deal on temporary hold, claiming twitters official stats under estimate the number of fake and spam accounts in the platform. well, that's re speculation that must might be getting cold feet on the deal. the break clause in the contract would mean a big pay out by mosque if the deal doesn't come together. in a follow up tweet mosque insisted he was still committed to buying the social media company. and we go over now to james sweeney in new york. james, a is a big story all day. how should we look at this delay by mice? what's going on here? you know what this is? and it took me a while to compare this. if you've ever played a sports video game and you need to make sure that you have the right starting line up, what do you do? it haws, you double check to make sure everything adds up, and then you begin the game. and that's what you learn most is really doing here.

he's just making sure all the pieces of the puzzle are in place. before he takes over, eula struck a deal to get twitter in late april. right. and in that deal, one of the stances he promoted was that twitter needs more verified users, no more bus. and that was great news for some bad news for others. some on the right had a spike in twitter follower, some of the left, including a lot of politicians, were screaming that they lost thousands of followers overnight. and after all of this noise, following about about twitter accounts, sort of then announce is that it estimates speak fam accounts do indeed represent less than 5 percent of users. they announce this after all the noise and effort, you love bio and you know what else they added, twitter added in the fine print them. it's quarterly results in quotes that the actual number of fake accounts could be higher could. now if you want to buy a used car and you want all the facts, right, if you're gonna buy a used car, you want all the facts kayla must, is doing exactly that. he wants all the facts before he jumps in the vehicle and drives away with his new used car. i briefly what if he decides that he doesn't want this used car and he walks away sweater cause that cost him?

oh yes, it could cost them because we're seeing twitter incessant prices slide and according to the um, according to the agreement itself, if he walks away he will end up losing about $1000000000.00. but if he does indeed find foul play in twitter, its own internal research, that he can go back into a meeting and say, no, you lied, we're going to restructure the steel and get myself a better price. that's exactly what he's going to attempt to do. i believe i came from in york. thank you very much. thank you. we go over to the you for the 1st time in northern ireland history, irish nationalist party, sion fain won the most seats. but in order to form a government, it needs the cooperation of the 2nd biggest part of the union is to u. p. and that's not happening. on friday, the dupe. he refused to form a government calling 1st for the scrapping of the northern ireland protocol. that's the briggs at byproduct. it sets up a customs border between belfast and london. and is the bane of many unionists

caught in the middle, this disagreement or businesses borders and breaks it are back in the spotlight in northern ireland. from shop owners to florists entrepreneurs are struggling because if a big trade disagreement between great britain and the european union, london is very concerned about a trade protocol connecting northern i'll into the u. k and the e u. it states that goods coming from the u. k. must go through customs 1st before entering northern ireland, the e. u wants to keep it as the 2 powers negotiate locals of belfast are finding themselves in a bench. normally would have a way bigger range of franchises than either quite limited and what we can guess are che, suppliers we, we did what live in barbara and britain. so they're in england and they were import them from all over europe and em center directly. the us, much of his time and energy is spent varying about customs, paperwork, and bureaucracy. he has to pass on the high price of bringing the cheese in to his customers. it was much easier in the past. or you could just call

a company us place your order on it was here within a couple of days. now it's taken really long. this issue is driving a vege between u. k. and e, you, the 2 can't seem to agree on the specifics of the trade route, connecting them the d u b party. once the agreement scrapped the damage in a harmful impact the protocol. it continues to have a northern driving up, the cost of living, harming our economy, impeding our ability of businesses to trade with their biggest market in great britain. robin mercer who owns one of the largest garden centers in belfast experiences a big change in his supply of flowers. we have actually shopping them in from england of i to bring them in locally. but again, roosters curse that we're gonna look for climate notice. many here, especially those of the d u p. party are angry at this gap between the u. k and northern ireland. they said the current protocol is doing more harm than good.

while the irish nationalist party sion fain accepts the protocol as part of their larger plans of irish unification, the 2 northern irish parties have yet to come together to form a government. earlier i spoke with maria faro, she's the spokeswoman for sion fain on public expenditure. she's also a member of ours parliament. i asked her if her party was ready to budge on those d u. p. cause to scrap the northern ireland protocol. i think it's really important for people to be aware of is that the majority of people actually support the protocol. and indeed, if we look back on us, the whole issue of brags, it is the fact that the north actually bolded to remain within the you and i think that's a really important point to make. because i think people need to realize that the democratic go to the people of the north was to remain within the you and really what happened was that westminster government took them out as us. now it's really disappointing to see that m d p didn't perform as speaker today and that the, you know, that the, that, that didn't go into train because we're ready and we know that the people of the

north, it was very clear from the election last weekend that in fact, the majority people supported and pro protocol parties, but also they, they supported those parties or ran a very positive campaign, a campaign to work for the people that people want the executive back up and running. they want the family to be sitting in the assembly and to do the work that so necessary necessary needs to be done. you said that the majority of support the protocol at the same time to acknowledge that there is hardship in northern ireland on this issue of customs border that some businesses, perhaps are facing hardship. well, i think was quite interesting is that a lot in the business community to support the protocol. and of course i'm not saying that there is and you know that there are people that do have concerns. am in relation to the protocol at all. and i think was very important in the nurses is to acknowledge that there are different sites to different arguments. and, but what we want to see is what we, what we're more we need to see really is, and the executives on the sam assembly back up and running. well,

we know is that the people in the north and indeed people across aren't, are really facing across live in crisis at the moment. but we need is the assembly of the morning so that we can actually ensure that the assistance and the help of the people in the north need to deal with us a cost of living crisis is that they're actually able to work on that. does that mean the should finish ready to give in then a little bit in order to, to, to bring about functioning government. if the u. p is very firm and says, we want the protocol to go, does that mean that to get our budget in place to get those things that the north needs that sir your party will need to give in a little bit? well put it this way, my party campaigned them against brags my cardi and voted against brags it, and have been very clear from the very get go that of course, and the north leading the you would cause issues. we knew that this was going to happen with them very, very clear on us. we believe that the executive need speak often ronan and a copy these protracted negotiations that are just impacting on the people of the

north. where we need is the d. p to going to go into the assembly to get the assembly up and running and, and that's what's needed right now. we need that clearly, that leadership what to leave with their married fall is the spokeswoman for sion fain on public expenditure. and she's never the art parliament. thank you so much for joining us. we've reported recently on the disruptions hitting food commodities like grains and oils due to rushes worn ukraine. or not just food itself has been disrupted. also the fertilizer needed to grow it in africa, some farmers are now turning to making their own as the cost of commercial fertilizers skyrocket. in uganda, the price for some important for lasers has more than doubled russia. immediate supplier is facing international sanctions and the gun and importers and consumers a filling the report faked customer, the no timing to buy because it's very expensive. it has affected us alert either

yes, asking the price as the more value. because if linux messy, now you get a re coach, a scientist, a bill will be, gosh, he's offering an alternative. it comes from the small fly called the black. so you're fly, which has been found to be a source of organic from glazes. in about 4 days the eggs grow into lavvy, and when levy grew into a doubt, flies, they leave behind the pew by reaching nutrients for unmoved feeds. and it's so use, you're getting a laser and organic foot lay that is very lay a boy you, you produce it on site to produce it in quantities you want. and then you also get an alternative protein source for in case of being livestock. do we go what the, the dutch founded company code my rule a protein. the company receives funding from donors like voluntary services overseas,

to train local farmers to produce their own foot lasers or requisitions. when you're available resources at my home, such as food leftovers, that i would have thrown away to get fertilizers. i do not spend any money on it. apart from my energy from wildwood are mine. capella, copy to city authority has now partnered with marilla protein to manage the cities whist problem. as the lovey can feed organic waste, they now produce over 2 times of foot lasers per day. but still not enough for farmers. we have one as a standing order, as of, of 2 ton of one ton of 3 tons of 5 times. and we cannot, we can, we don't have the capacity to fulfill that or does or does luca hopes this can be an opportunity for africans to fly away from, depending on imported from lasers. is a reminder of the top is the story we're falling for. you on mosque says he's

putting his bid to buy twitter on temporary hold, claiming twitter is official stats under estimate the number of fake and spam accounts and platform. that's racing. speculation that must might be getting cold feet on a deal in a follow up tweet mosque insisted he was still committed to buying social media company. that's our show. find out more aligned, they'll be dot com slash business also on youtube. thanks for watching. what's making the headlines and what's behind them d. w, news, africa. this shows that the issues have been the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally well in the streets to give you enough reports on the inside. our cars funds is on the ground and reporting from across the continent and all the trend stuff. the mazda you next on d w,
