media network of withholding information about fake accounts. twitter plans to assume us to compel him to make good on the $44000000000.00 deal. ah, does the world's richest person have buyer's remorse. ellen mosques, decision to pull the plug on buying. twitter adds yet another twist to a saga that has gripped wall street. it's wanted to crazy as business stories ever. and i think it started off as a circus show and attending as a circus. sure. the story started back in march when musk announced his intention to buy twitter and loosen it's free speech rules. the 2 sides reached an agreement in april with musk using his tesla shares to fund the take over as well. of course, weeks later he announced the deal was suspended, citing concern over the number of bots and fake accounts on the platform. twitter
9:03 am
insist that less than 5 percent of its accounts are span, but must believes that number could be as high as 20 percent. must also says twitter failed to provide enough information for the deal to go through. the company has vowed to pursue legal redress. the now failed beard has dented masks, image as a tech titan, and dash twitters hopes of transforming it's shaky finances. let's get more from d. w reporter joel dall roy who has been following the story and joins me now in the studio. joel, a walk us through how this whole saga unfolded. it has been a saga from start to finish. has been irrational. it's, it's been unpredictable for and who is 1st tweeted that he was going to take over the company. well, twitter 1st resisted that. the board actually pushed back and said they didn't want him to be on the border as a shareholder valet to reverse those policies and then welcomed him in and welcomed
9:04 am
his bid. presumably because he was offering to pay around 40 percent more for his shares and they were worth at the time. well, since then, the deal has really unraveled. in the mean time mosques tweets have been irrational, have gone from positive to negative. to bizarre. he speculated about what other companies he might purchase, but interestingly, he did not tweet this latest news. this actually came from his lawyers. now must claim said he was misled. any merit to that argument? will legal experts say that he will stay able to make that argument? because twitter actually does publicly say that around 5 percent of its users are spam accounts, or phase accounts now must claims that that number is actually far higher and that he was misled by twitter and that it failed to provide him with full information. and therefore, the deal can be canceled. well twitter is pushing back, it is saying that it will pursue this legally. it still says it wants him as a, as its main shareholder, which you might question why, but perhaps they want is money more than they want his presence around. they may also try and pursue
9:05 am
a $1000000000.00 settlement for terminating the deal early. now, there was some speculation that marks must, might actually be trying to drive the share price down here with this maneuver to try and purchase the company more cheaply, or that he might be trying to distract from problems at his other company. tesla, which is suffering supply chain issues, it recently announced that he's going to hold production at its factory here in germany. and he's also facing some kind of a professional and personal scrutiny over reports that he has had a child with an employee. so mosque has a lot of other issues going on right now as well. so let's take a step back and do it of a full 360 view on this is any of this good news for either twitter or to users or both? well that's not good use for twitter shareholders. there is some speculation that the share price might fall by as much as 30 percent when stock trading begins again on monday. there are some twitter users, however, who may be a very relieved about this. because musk has
9:06 am
a very absolute view on freedom of speech. and he had said that he wanted to change twitters policies about what kind of tweets are allowed and reduce content moderation and for some uses. they fear that this may lead to twitter, turning into some kind of cesspool for extremism and, and a wild conspiracy theories. also, let's not forget that mosque and said he would welcome back. donald trump as a user to the platform. trump has been banned since january 2021. we'll see is that that's a mosque would basically allow twitter to be used as a platform for trumps reelection. but this entire saga is certainly not over yet. it is now going to the lawyers, and there's that we have not heard the end of it yet. my head is spinning a multi layered story, d w's a jewelry. on top of it, many, many thanks. are the people of japan are in deep morning following the assassination of former prime ministrations. obey
9:07 am
a motorcade carrying the body of the swaying former leader has arrived at his home in tokyo, all they died of his injuries after being shot yesterday at a campaign rally in japan south. he was japan's longest serving modern leader, the killing in broad daylight has shocked japan, a country where gun related violence is in fact extremely where 20 me now from tokyo is journalist sonia blanca, sonia one day after our bay has died. what or public react? reactions like now after of course, the initial shock is so and inara where the incident happened. people have assembled at that place near the station and have played flowers. they're all in their hands and prayer and have expressed again their shock and disbelief over what happens. at the same time, politicians have resumed with their election campaign because they said,
9:08 am
we don't want to bow to this sort of violence and terrorism. but under strict security, slightly strict, he was still in japan. of course. what more can you tell us about the suspect and his motives? and we know by now that he apparently told investigators that he held a grudge against a certain religious organization. young police still haven't confirmed what kind of religious organization that could be out there is like he lation on the internet that this could be about the moon sex. they say apparently the suspect perpetrator said that his mother gave a lot of money though to the organization. and because of that, that went bankrupt and to that disrupted the family. so there might be this very kind of personal motive to, to the whole thing. and why are they then apparently the man also targeted or thought about killing leaders of that organization. but he believed that they had
9:09 am
ties with them. and apparently he also visited several places. where are they spoke beforehand? obviously still an evolving story then and again our bay was shot while giving a speech. is there any discussion there about how the security detail with him at the time allowed this to happen? yes, there is increasing a discussion about this. and i think the general how good i call this generally police. i'm not really trained or an aware that that gun shops would be the main issue in japan. usually gun current is extremely rare. perpetrators usually use knives or blunt objects. so i think when the shots were fired, people maybe were in too much disbelief, including the security tab. and so the reaction was that too late, then i'm also traffic wasn't regulated where are the spoke. but they seem to have learned
9:10 am
a little bit now because apparently he shita reminisced because he does on the campaign trail again. and they installed metal detector, sidney, where he spoke. and of course investigator, still looking into that gun, i imagine which look like it might have been hand made. anyway that many, many thanks to sonya blash k in tokyo, you're welcome. you are a secretary of state or antony blinkin and his chinese counterpart wong league have held their 1st in person talk since october the to diplomat. some met on the side lines of the g. 20 foreign minister summit in bali, indonesia, the pear stress, the importance of maintaining relations between the world's 2 biggest economies. but the g 20 meeting was dominated by russians invasion of ukraine with russian foreign minister. so gay laughter are facing a storm of criticism from western diplomats. with sergei love,
9:11 am
rod looked confident as he walked into the summit. the veteran russian diplomat smiled for cameras as he greeted his indonesian host, then almost immediately reporters began shouting questions asking when the war will be over. divisions over russia's invasion of ukraine dominated the discussions at the meeting of foreign ministers. several western countries refused to meet with love, rob, including united states, but ministers from other nations, such as india, china, turkey, and brazil did have bilateral talks with their russian counterpart. because obviously, aggressor, sludge invaders, one occupant of villages, love rav told reporters, his country was called many names. at this g 20 summit, he accused the west of blatant bruce of phobia, and of preventing an end to the war in ukraine. yes, news up of which 3 to go,
9:12 am
a lot of them will know if the west wants to talk use this. it needs to make room for discussion. should you'd be to go water if it, once you cranes victory over russia on the battlefield instead. because both opinions are being voice, these are some favor negotiations and others favorite military victory. all of them a little more than perhaps what we had nothing to talk about with the west was almost all because this approach is essentially preventing ukraine from transitioning to piece, making process new to move what axis. there was no traditional family photo. this here as some g 20 colleagues, including germany, refused to stand next to russia. yes. oh, yeah. what we as europeans never wanted this war one when we always wanted to live in peace with our russian neighbors. but we have a global responsibility that this war does not affect other regions of the world, because we know that especially famine and poverty can become triggers for regional tensions and crises. russia denies that so called military operation in ukraine as
9:13 am
amplifying other crises. the un says it's causing a global spike and food and fuel threatening people's livelihoods. now, to the latest on the worn ukraine roches advance in the eastern dom bus region has slowed russian forces or regrouping after capturing at capturing the city of lucy chance ukraine's president invalid him. his zalinski says weapons supply by western allies are now making a difference on the battlefield. since the war began, ukraine has faced unprecedented destruction. but russian president vladimir putin says his troops were just warming up. lucy, sure, sure knew most lucian. we're hearing that they want to defeat us up. will you on the battlefield? what can i say is good with the let them try mosier more. we have often heard the wes wants us to fight it until the last ukrainian is the threats a tragedy. the ukrainian people, oklahoma,
9:14 am
but it looks like he's heading in that direction. no, she goes. but everybody should know that largely speaking. sure, that we haven't even yet started anything in earnest. despite that sinister statement for the moment, it's believed that russian troops are taking an operational pause after having captured the city of little chance earlier this week, and consolidating their grip on power. in ela, hans region 2, but not everywhere, and ukraine is seeing a lull in fighting. shelling continued internet's courage and overnight, hitting several cities. but on the score of with little, i called an ambulance because some one was killed. you right? what are we supposed to do for you? the how are we supposed to survive?
9:15 am
