already been on a firing spree, letting go of top executives, including the c, r and cfo test. the boss has been critical of the platforms, moderation policies, and says he wants to promote more free speech. with his deal complete mascot tried just through the twitter advertises saying he doesn't want to be. he doesn't want the platform to become a free for all hell scape, his words, let's listen to more of them. the reason i acquired twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner without resorting to violence. but a law mosque hasn't yet revealed any details about how he'll achieve this or who will actually run the company. he is what some analysts the his plans are for the platform. now, conceivably, someone, maggie le mars, can you sort of done this before?

you have to grant that he's a visionary, that he's done some amazingly innovative things in the world. and so someone like him would look at a company like twitter and say that we've got to tear it down to build it back up again. and that seems to be the purpose of mentality that's over here. but having said that, it's a little worrying in the sense that when you turn it down to build it back up again, you have to have some sort of r northstar vision to take people along with the said, this is the reason why i'm doing that. and we haven't quite seen the other than some hand waving at free speech. i think it'll be really, really interesting to see what happens to be if they're based. i mean, right now it's sort of a black box. what be, what will happen in the future? simply because he has so many plans and now he's going to cut so much staff. so it's very unclear what will actually happen, right? so he wants to build this paper out. he wants to add payments. he wants to do more video. he maybe wants to make it like a protocol. he wants to verify users. i mean, he wants to do all these big bang for the same time. he wants to cut 75 percent of

all the people that currently work there. i don't think, you know, the crystal ball on that is still very, very shiny. right. i really don't. i don't know where we're going to be 6 months around. we'll have more on a long masks. takeover of twitter inlaid a bulletins in other news now the united nations is sounding another warning on climate change saying the window of opportunity to keep global warming at a minimum is closing fast. you end new emissions gap reports is rich a nation and not doing enough or even promising to do enough to cut carbon emissions. it says the world is on track to be almost 3 degrees warmer by the end of the century. that's far off the goal of limiting warming to one and a half degrees celsius above pre industrial levels. un secretary general antonio good terrorist says an unprecedented economic transformation is needed to limit the impact of climate change. the window to limit global temperature rise to 1.5

degrees is closing fast. greenhouse gas emissions must be cut by 45 percent these decades. but as to those emissions get, report confirms they remain and at dangers and record eyes and still rising commitments to let 0 or worse 0 without the plans, policies and actions the back it up out old cannot afford any more green washing, fake movers or late movers, well, nathan, hopin is the director of the center for global sustainability at the university of maryland. he told us the goal to limit global warming to one and a half degrees celsius is still achievable. the report shows that we really are in an emergency situation. it really is sounding the alarm at the same time. i think it's quite important to know that 1.5 in fact is not out of reach. i think that it actually, the report shows that where we are with current policies,

is tracking toward a much warmer world than what we are aiming for in the international and global community. but that it remains within reach in all of our countries to build the actions that are needed over the course of the decade to deliver the reductions on the order of magnitude needed to keep that 1.5 target wise. so it's absolutely true that were already committed to some degree of of warming. and i think that it's urgently important that we continue to implement new policies across all sectors and all gases to reduce those emissions to levels that would be safer than the 3 degree projection in this report. at the same time. it's also very important, equally important to be preparing for the impacts of the climate change. we know we are already committed to let's get around of some other world news headlines now. the e u has struck a deal to ban the sale of new diesel and petrol call from 2035. negotiate and negotiate as agreed that by then carmakers must come c o 2 emissions by 100 percent

with nuclear materials. give denies this and says moscow is trying to create a pretext for an escalation. the i expect to have its findings within days. allegations have been made, inspections out of the way. and this is basically what we need to do. we have to undertake these work at these 2 facilities that were mentioned over the weekend of places where allegedly work to divert nuclear material for the fabrication of radiological device will be taking place. so this is what we're going to be doing. and ukraine's president meantime flawed him is. the lensky says his forces are holding out against russian attacks in the east and don bass region. he says, air strikes have destroyed nearly a 3rd of ukraine's energy infrastructure and condemns the kremlin. tactics. is crazy. smoke rising over buck mote. across much of the country,

successful ukrainian counter attacks have put russia on the defensive. but in the eastern cities of us, dia fca, and bach moot, russian forces continue to grind forward, located in the don, yet sk region. bachman has been under heavy bombardment for months. now ukrainian officials say it is the sight of some of the heaviest fighting in the country. as russia continues to advance. who's it, who control over territory keeps changing hands to day. it's as to morrow. there's the day after to morrow. as again, the fighting is intense to day. all guys took a prisoner a prisoner from russia. russia's offensive here is being supported by the wagner mercenary group, a paramilitary force, with links to the kremlin. ukrainian and west and officials accused the group of recruiting prisoners from russian jails to fight in ukraine. now ukrainian soldiers on the front lines said these prisoners are being used as bait. a tactic presidency

. lensky has described as crazy. some of them, a voice of notice is called one time use. the main task of these one use soldiers is to come towards us and find out opposition if they are lucky, they will stay alive if not, they die. despite the intense fighting ukrainian troops are said to be holding on, but months of constant bombardment are taking their toll and the russian offensive shows no sign of slowing down. meantime, russia has moved to stick closer to toughening off a so called gay propaganda law. anything seen as encouraging homosexuality could soon be punishable. the upper house of parliament still has to approve the bill. o these protest as a fighting for equal rights in russia. but demonstrations for l g b t q writes here, often brutally halted by authorities. one of the instruments of repression over the

past decade has been the so called gay propaganda law introduced in 2013 authorities say it's needed to prohibit the promotion of what they call non traditional sexual values to children. now russia set to pass new legislation further restricting the l g p t q community by expanding the law to adults as well . you watching to recruit is congress left us. we don't live in a democratic state of thought. so i think that lawmakers in the doom are trying to convey the impression that they carry favor with this oppressive machine with ash so ill. and the victims of this machine is of the most vulnerable once the all corners are l g, b, t, q plus people. with their calculus hopes for the new law that is already going to russia's lower house of parliament. the state duma will effectively forbid any positive references to l g p t q, topics in popular media and on the internet. activists fair, the new law is a further step towards state sponsored discrimination and repression. and that it

will leave the l g p t q community, even more stigmatized in russian society. well, the space race is back. several countries including the us, china, russia, india, and israel, or, or trying to reach the moon. it's not just a quest for national glory sign to see the moon as a gateway, a place to build bases that could then launch missions to mars and beyond. ah, the moon has one indispensable resource for manned space flight water. h 2 o can be used to make breathable air for astronauts and fuel for rockets. the largest water deposits are in the deep i see craters at the lunar poles at the moon, south pole alone, who such

a luna station and such a crater. the so called optimist base camp are initially astronauts will and in transport craft, which will also serve as their accommodation during their short stays. or as they explore the surrounding terrain in vehicles. mm. with each mission the luna base should become more comfortable when a fire spacecraft i bring the equipment and robots will build the infrastructure. up to 4 astronauts will work here for up to 2 months at a time. the outpost will also serve as a springboard for a new mission human voyages to mas is irma to now if the top story we're following for you,
