ah ah ah, it's a dw news live from berlin, billionaire elan must completes his takeover of social media sites. twitter. the tech tycoon is already shaking things up. he has fire top executives and is promising to limit censorship. so what does this need for the future of the platform? also coming up the starkest warning, get on climate change,

the un saying the world must immediately curve greenhouse gases, or face catastrophe. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. there have been months of legal wrangling, but now the world's richest man, ellen mosque has finally completed his $44000000000.00 take over of the social media platform. twitter. in his characteristically flamboyant style, musk walked into twitter, san francisco office carrying a bathroom sink. he tweeted the video with the words let that sink in. he's already been on a firing spree, letting go of top executives, including the c, e o and c, f o. the tesla boss has been critical of the platforms, moderation policies, and says he wants to promote more free speech. with his deal,

complete mosque tried to reassure twitter adversaries. advertisers saying that he doesn't want the platform to become a quote free for all hell scape. he said the following, 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. second season cancelling a business for more. what does this mean for twitter? i say, well 1st of all, it means that it's going into private hands that eli mosque now can make the changes that he wants to make. he said a lot of things, he says, a lot of things, some of the few concrete things he said he has said, for example, that he wants to make tweets longer, that he wants to try and fight bots better. that he wants to rely less on advertising in of itself. very interesting. since 90 percent of twitter revenues come via advertising. the content moderation is the thing that we all want to know

about. he's very clear that he's a free speech. absolute as, as, as he said, that he wants to see twitter content being less police when it comes to speech. the question is, how can he balance that with this idea of a public town square? let's remember that, you know, twitter made changes about policing speech to appeal more to people to, to make it more attractive space, but also on top of that to, to appeal to regulators and to advertisers. so is this question of how is he going to have this public town square that's attractive? but it also allows the kind of speech that we've seen otherwise being dominated by, by some very loud, angry, and often wrong users. so this, this really is the question to say that this takeover has been drama would be a bit of an understatement. steve. i mean, it must, didn't even seem to want it at some point. so just walk us through how we got here . yeah, it's definitely he has a bit of a flare of a showman and it's hard to really see when he's serious and when he's not. and from

the beginning it's almost seem like this was a bit of a joke. take over. you know, he's always been a chief complainer about twitter lately, especially with it's with a speech policies. and, you know, at the beginning he even insert a kind of a, we job for 20 in the actual share price, $5420.00. he was taken up on that offer and then it turns out that he vastly was over paying for it. but he was sort of stuck with the deal. he had buyer's remorse want to get out. there was a flurry of lawsuits and ultimately he has to go through with the deal. and here he is. he has this property. that is not a small social media network, but it's also not the world's biggest right. and i think sometimes twitter seems to have an outside presence, especially to us as journalists into a certain class of people education or, or something that's not necessarily appealing to great swabs of people. we tend to talk about it more. it's not necessarily as widespread as facebook, even for example, it does have an upside, it can be monetize. we want to see what he does with it. he's also saturday with a tremendous amount of debt. and so if he wants to get the same kind of profit, he's going to have to increase revenue. so there are a lot of questions here. but again, this idea of a town hall, you know,

it begs the question about social media networks and the role they play. you know, they're almost like utilities. we expect to use them in that way. we expect to have access to them, but they're owned by individuals who have their own prerogative. so the question is, how is he going to use it? is it going to become a cesspool for misleading statements, or is it going to be something this accessible to everyone? how are you going to pull that off and take it from being a joke, acquisition to something that's actually very serious and important, maybe even useful, even barely really important questions now going forward. thank you so much for following this for us. 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. the u. s. new emissions gap report says that richer nations are 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. far off, the goal of limiting warning warming to $1.00 degrees celsius above pre industrial

levels. un secretary general antonio good ted as says an unprecedented economic transformation is needed to limit the impact of climate change. climate change remains the central priority in everything we do and the climate change must be a central priority for all governments or companies or cities. the civil society everywhere. if we are not able to reverse the present threat that these living to look at festival in the world will be don't. and so these must be for all of us, an absolute priority. and let's get more on that now. we are joined by this rain al sam. she is with the un youth. i've advisory group on climate change. she joins us now from car to tell us a little bit more about the consequences of not changing course. now, especially for sudan, where you are we are seeing the sequences everywhere we've seen it in the back

stand. we're more than 3rd of the countries, the war under water. we have seen it in the fires. we have seen the enormous summer that european continent had. and of course, definitely we are seen it every day in africa in all sorts of matters. while a lot of countries like somalia are facing a very devastating findings due to drought and extreme climate crisis, other countries were under the water lifes house, dan, dan, and many other african countries. so we can see a very much the negative or actually the very obvious impacts of climate change already happening. and we're not talking about anything in the future. in sudan, 70 percent of population depends directly on climate sensitive things like of a culture like pastor is. and i don't want to say that only 30 percent have access to electricity. so which means that this 70 percent were left with no electricity, no source of living good and also no water nor food security resources. so what do you think governments need to do right now? what is your message?

it's very simple climate action and building to the needs of the communities. helping them adapt. it's actually not to have loss and damage, but actually to prevent loss. and then we just from happening in diverse place enabling in finance 3 countries and enable the country. so actually this finance is actually a very crucial think and we are only a few days ahead of club $27.00. there's a historical responsibility, but also the opportunity to maximize the bridges for climate finance. but the most important to maximize the commitments for climate at the climate mitigation. because we will reach a point where at the patient is no longer possible. if a global warming percentage exceeded a certain degrees. we have a lot of reports everywhere by the i p. c by the you and that, but by the way, the beach, but all of them say that one single fact we are very far from track you are running

out of time and climate crisis will happen. bigger and more master, more destructive very soon. how about civil society? what do you think actions need to happen there for individuals, for example? well, civil society is suffering level times. actually they have a huge responsibility and there's a shorter we have a lot of communities that trust them. they work very close to them, yet they are left with forces because most of the un financed and also they are left without a governess, a structure in many countries where there is a huge bullet to get in this debate these, such as sedan, yemen, syria, nearby and many other countries i can name civil society doesn't know actually what to do, what not to do. they are now the government. they are now the and the angel, especially of the kids. we have a huge numbers. all it gets outside of school. so there was hundreds of thousands

of problems and distribute, having everywhere, and it's not making any easier for the school. so say, you know, be able to access finance, especially those that are grades ations climate campaigners ran outside in cartoon . thank you. here are some other stories making news. the european union has struck a deal to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035. negotiators agreed that by then carmakers must cut all c o 2 emissions if passed into law, it will become impossible to sell new fossil fuel powered vehicles in the 27 country block. the e wants to speed up the switch to electric cars and combat climate change. north korea has fired to short range ballistic missiles into the sea. it's 1st weapons launches in 2 weeks. south korea's military detective, the launch from tongue hon on the eastern coast of the peninsula. the u. s.

w. ah, ah, when may, 9th, 2021 in front of troops parading across moscow's red square. vladimir putin gives a speech that amounts to a declaration of war. but he had them william due to this issue, should nation, we will resolutely defend our national interests is up well and ensure the security of our people mad years. nick with our glorious russian are real nice. you are. i see the annual celebration of russia's victory of the nazis in world war 2, which dea could delay at nasa sent whittaker zone 3 rural. when the, almost a century ago, the vial,

nazi decent began spreading its predatory violence across central europe. you will leave you this enemy, not only wanted to destroy the soviet political system story, it wanted to destroy our state and our nation, and eradicate our people says you meet national narrative. but on this day, 9 months before invading you crying. the president's focus was not on the past. he was instead fantasizing about nazis currently threatening the russian border through a new medium is what is unique. they'd be the gradually, sadly that some people are trying to revive nasty ideology. we are witnessing how death squaws are trying to rewrite history grossly justify the actions of criminals who have the blood of hundreds of thousands of civilians on their hands with our people as this. you know all too well how this will and we well, my view, ha ah,

the few months later, the russian president deployed his troops to the ukrainian border. and on february 24th 2022. the world looked on in horror. the invasion began. when opening it, that is sheer or pretty good speed selling. why henley appearance, i have decided to conduct a special military operation. the is the purpose is to protect the people who have been mistreated and murdered by the keys regime, but only over the past 8 years. we will demilitarize anti knots if i greatly it dennis. it occurs who greg hutchins right had been less of a brutal war mongering dictator. in february 2000, he had the chechen city of rosalie raised the ground. yeah,

there is a politic obama mass bombing of civilians was politically motivated in the britain . wanted to punish the population for their defiance e folk. just as now, according to the kremlin, not liz ukrainians must be punished for their resistance to rushes with brutal force that docile us. a few years after the chechen war hootin invaded ga, and in 2014, he attacked ukraine for the 1st time annexing the crimean peninsula and the dog bass region. wouldn't some much open your mouth. tritton has long believed that the existence of a democratic state on russia's orders is with a serious threat to him and attempt addition to the russian people arose gun. in 2050 vladimir putin back dictator busha ayla sat in syria bombing, a number of civilian targets. there as well, was with nobody helping aside,

though he was sending the message that russia will not abandon its friend, busted. putin wants to restore russia to its former glory temporarily. he is an imperialist at the chest allergic of russia status as a superpower. the road he sees permanent power struggles as a necessity in the he doesn't negotiate before he uses force. ah, in the kremlin, he rules like an emperor. and when the russian army meets resistance in ukraine, he openly threatens with nuclear war. skin external has finale is extremely calculated. alice potted the use of strategic nuclear weapons by vladimir putin. echo v, as in must be taken seriously. ah, the soviet union was officially dissolved 2 years after the wall and berlin crumbled under the presidency of boris yeltsin, russia embarked on

a new path. ah, but large segments of the population became impoverished as corruption remained rampant. and at the turn of the millennium, yeltsin was replaced by putin mm. in the nomination of vladimir putin. honestly, our mon, former intelligence agent, was a great surprise. when does he know lucas still did he lose a day? the russian president name's vladimir putin as his successor. comes we'll do some legit, fulton, it has gotten the bucklin at the time. vladimir putin was seen as a strong man. no man could restore russian leadership and judging loose, alternating. chechnya from the caucuses region was fighting for its independence. ah.

the armed conflict followed a decade long struggle seed from russia. in the summer of 1999 chechen terrorists allegedly carried out to tax on targets in moscow and other major cities killing more than $300.00 people. putin's response was rufus. that's a press conference in september that same year, the president did not mince words. what would it be his did? what did he say if the arse and airports will find them there and shoot them in the sitting on a toilet if necessary, is of getting them? he sent 840000 russian soldiers to fight the rebels in chechnya. massaging the russian leadership is sending a clear signal to islamic rebels in chechnya,

who i don't do quite operational agenda, which i thought blood on a gluttony. when president vladimir putin came to power, which he ordered the russian army to succeed or any cause alex lunch and we're seeing that routine thing now in the train was more to sequential. i get your grade and at the co bottom of that enough, what's in follow letting me of hooton's behavior during the 2nd, chechen more actually is extreme readiness to use from the start of the war missile that i get. ah, putin ordered the bombing of the chechen capital, grossly, more than 80 percent of the city was destroyed and thousands of civilians were killed as the war. washer cities jo lawsuit and his clean april 20. it was an indiscriminate violence against civilians like maybe they wanted to show what the russian army was capable of help

yet. there is a politic obama massey for this. if you have a mass bombing of civilians was politically motivated. so hopefully you photon wanted to punish the population further to file philadelphia for having revolted d e f. and trying to leave the russian federation. liz, you couldn't according to that logic would y ukrainians to have to be punished for their opposition. of course, in good for having created a functioning that westward leaking democracy, and for their resistance to russia or brutal for his if they left us would do left us on lucy after stumping out the flames of independence. putin. but a man he trusted at the helm of the tiny caucasian republic, rams. uncanny rav delivery was either good gosh thicken. did that i have decided to nominate you for the office of chechnya as president was who? oh, really? okay. thank you for your confidence. you know what or no more than patio is on the, on the chechen party that had been in power in the north conquest region does it?

but then me to complete, you turn, does alarms, unclear of how good his power to moscow almost became a morsel was loyal accounting i'll run on cutter off is installed and authoritarian and mafia like regime with the kremlin sport that his supporters of helped to keep the last remaining rebels of by ah, in the ukraine more had your off has also offered military support to the russian regime. he uses slip propaganda video. i announce from the deployments of his elite troops while threatening president zalinski federal the guy, i would like to offer some advice to president zalinski before he becomes an ex president. he should get on the phone with our president vladimir putin seal. and

in the interest of ukraine and the ukrainian people, he should accept all of russia's demands unconditionally and apologize for not having done so earlier today. she would never edward receive, oh wow. in the productions resemble propaganda videos from the terrorist islamic state. grim looking fight is in black. getting ready to storm you crying. i. the images are meant to intimidate, just different mit of on your financial garage and they are when you for the station id. national rejection troops are well our minister and the video shows that some other equipment and weapons are better than those of the russian soldiers in albany. chima assist you with, but the reality in the field is different. for such a not as missile packers. again, i love edgar tv, the chechen armed forces are not very experienced and tried to cultivate an image

of a strong force with muscular fighters. this is clearly one of the reasons why they were deployed in your train on your credit, but the reality of war is very different afield. some military analyst leave it. this is not a tactical, newcastle, but more of a psychological strategy. listen it at the sky or the n honey detective. again in social media posts cutting off claims to be on the ground with his men inside you cried, taking part in the invasion. cutting off his dung, tootin stood you up before. among other things he has said to have helped with the assassination of russian opposition figured orest himself he leapt through the grant was at around 11 p. m. nymphs of was killed by 4 gunshots. the murder scene close to the kremlin is monitored by cameras making the crime aldermore. bryson

was a former k g p agent. vladimir putin does not hesitate to have his opponents eliminated even on foreign soil in london. for example, marina lit, when the anchor has been living in exile for over 2 decades. i've never been back to russia since 2000, but i'm still the believe one day of the back to ration is out, puts in and without what's in her husband, alexander lithonian, co worked for russia's fs. be intelligent service before becoming an outspoken opponent of the russian president. i live in the 1st 2006. he had an appointment with 2 russian businessman in this land, the building. so rather active, bologna was booked as a tier port. and sasha had a few sips over this tea, and she starts to feel very bad only in

a few hours. 20 days later, the form of spite died in the hospital of the suffering excruciating height. to marina, the polonium makes it clear who ought at the killing. well, what was fail? high level of our government of russia because monde of bologna was so big and think its own little nuclear reactor. yukon buys is form like mar, can't you come by in the pharmacy yukon exchange with? you can't. i believe for what my husband say in his last statement. she pointed that out to bruton for healing kiss the following year. andre luke, avoid the fs. be spy? who allegedly poisoned marinas husband became a member of the russian parliament in 2015 on the orders of vladimir putin. he was even on the face of.
