him to make good on the $44000000000.00 deal. ah, does the world's richest person have buyer's remorse. ellen musk decision to pull the plug on buying twitter adds yet another twist to a saga that has gripped wall street. it's one of the craziest business stories ever. and i think it started off as a circus show and attending as a circus show. 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 will of course, weeks later, he announced the deal was suspended. citing concern over the number of bots and fake accounts on the platform. twitter insists that less than 5 percent of its accounts are span, but must believes that number could be as high as 20 percent. musk also says
10:03 am
twitter failed to provide enough information for the deal to go through. the company has vowed to pursue legal redress. the now failed bid has dented masks, image as a tech titan and dash twitters hopes of transforming its shaky finances. let's get more from d. w reporter joel delroy, who has been following the story and joins me now in the studio jolla 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 him to is 1st tweeted that he was going to take over the company while twitter 1st resisted that, the board actually pushed back and said they didn't want him to be on the border as a shareholder that i'd like to reverse those policies. and then welcomed him in and welcomed 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
10:04 am
meantime, my suites have been irrational, has 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 lawyer. now must claim said he was misled. any merit to that argument will legal experts say that he will struggle to make that argument? because twitter actually does publicly say that around 5 percent of it uses our spam accounts or phase accounts now must claim that that number is actually far higher and that he was misled by twitter and it failed to pro 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 is presence around. they may also try and pursue a $1000000000.00 settlement for terminating the deal early. now,
10:05 am
there is some speculation that marks must, might actually be trying to drive the share price down here, where 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 halt 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 fall 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 uses, however, who may be relieved about this because musk has a very absolute view on freedom of speech. and he had said that he wanted to change
10:06 am
toward his policies about what kind of tweets are allowed and reduce content moderation. and for some uses, they feel 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 musket said he would welcome back. donald trump as a user to the platform, trump has been banned. since january 2021, and they were fears that the musk 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 i've dare say we have not heard the end of it yet. i had to spinning a multi layered story d. w. 's. joel dory, on top of it, many, many thanks. are the people of japan are in deep morning following the assassination of former prime minister sion jill all day a motorcade carrying the body of the slain. former leader has arrived at his home in tokyo, ob, a died of his injuries after being shot yesterday at
10:07 am
a campaign rally in japan south. he was japan's longer serving modern leader, the killing in broad daylight has shocked japan. the country where gun related violence is extremely rare. journalists, sonya blush go, is in tokyo, following the story. earlier, i asked her about how the japanese public is reacting to abe's assassination. if so, and inara where the incident happened, people have assembled at that place near the station and half the place, 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 the election campaign because they said, we don't want to bow to this sort of violence and terrorism. but under strict security, slightly strict with still in japan. what more can you tell us about the suspect in
10:08 am
his motives? and we know, i know 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. are there is speculation on the internet that this could be about the moon sect, they say apparently the suspect perpetrator said that his mother gave a lot of money to the organization because of that went bankrupt and that disrupted the family. so there might be this very kind of personal motive to, to the whole thing. why are they then apparently the man also targeted or thought about killing leaders of that organization. but he believed that are, they had ties with them. and apparently he also visited several places. where are they spoke beforehand? again, are bay was shot? well, giving a speech. is there any discussion there about how the security detail with him at
10:09 am
the time allowed this to happen? yes, there is increasing your discussion about this and i think the general how going to call this generally police are not really trained or an aware that that gun shots would be the main issue in japan. usually gun crime 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 detail. and so the reaction was too late. then. i'm also traffic wasn't regulated where are the spoke, but they seem to have learned a little bit now because apparently he, she the prime minister because she does on the campaign trail again. and they installed metal detectors today where he spoke. and of course investigator still looking into that gun, i imagine which look like it might have been hand made. anyway many,
