4:00 pm
i think with the ball wires on there's been no targeted. environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. ah, ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. the world's richest man takes control of twitter. it on mosque says the bird is free. he starts by firing top executives and promising to boost free speech off on the program. the united nation sells the
4:01 pm
alarm on climate change warning. the world is not doing enough to cut fossil fuels and advert a catastrophe. fast germany as president says, the russian invasion of ukraine is a talent point in history. frank vall, to sign my also was there are tough years ahead. ah. and we're here mohammed, welcome to the program. the bird has been freed so says in on mosque in a tweet. after taking control of twitter, the test the chief has hit the ground running mosque began by firing a string of top executives. he says you bought the social media network to boost free speech and communication. but critics say one man should not have so much power over public debate. let that sink in. this is how you on oscar walked into twitters headquarters in san francisco. with the grandiose
4:02 pm
gesture, the world's richest man signal to employees and users, it may be the end of twitter as they know it. in a tweet addressed to advertisers on a platform must claimed the acquisition was not aimed at making him more money. musk told advertisers that his goal was to counter political polarization in traditional media. he set the polarization, had now spread to social media, and that he wanted to preserve twitter as a space for dialogue. 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. an ambitious goal and in mosques own words, one with a very real possibility, a failure. the serial inter printers bold moves,
4:03 pm
don't come as a surprise to analysts, but his exact vision for the platform is still somewhat unclear. you have to grab that, he's a visionary that he's done some amazingly innovative things. but having said that, it's a little worrying in the sense that when you turn down to build it back up again, you have to have some sort of our north star vision to take people long to say this is the reason why i'm doing that. and we haven't quite seen the other than some hand weaving at free speech. but some twitter users fear that what musk wants for the platform may not be reflective of what they want. i believe that the deal on musk buying twitter in on him twitter will begin to twitter. but we're already seen change to see algorithm on getting a lot of right wing stuff all the sudden on my feet that i wasn't getting before ever since. so ever since musgrove ounce, this musk has only vaguely implied what his vision for free speech but look like.
4:04 pm
for now, twitter users are left you wonder where the new red lines will be drawn. well, joining me now is marcus beckett's elm. he is the founder of the german digital news website nets politic dot org is good to have you with us. he r d w news. now mosque has already caused a fair amount of disruption by getting rid of senior managers. where is twitter heading? it's totally unclear. to the most relevant global platform for digital public platforms. hack my us, but twitter though, where politics and media meets and it active real time. but i have lots of problems with hate speech and disinformation and math gone through it to remain the caliber debate marketplace, as he said. but his own behavior doesn't necessarily suggest he means that he could also set the good example in a communication behavior to be
4:05 pm
a role model us that would be cheaper for every for him. now a hot topic is donald trump, who was banned from twitter mosque has said that he will allow him back if he does come back. what will be the implications of this musk announcer bring back trump after he wants to spend that? i hope media in this case have learned from this and not ra bought about any thing, a pro k to tweet from trump, who has san hatred and discord on like pew of that would be better it was out from . but if he comes back then problems of a speech and this information would be bigger than now. now the you with the tech regulations, they've been very keen to regulate big tech companies. well, this put them on a collision course with mosque that is totally unclear and i'm
4:06 pm
a bit worried that says in your e or regulation on platforms wouldn't fit into this new situation on twitter. because twitter, it's not big enough to be regulated. and as a digital markets act, which tries to control the market power because it has not enough annual budget for this. and then there's a digital services egg, and twitter might have less than $45.00, millions of monthly use us in europe and union. then twitter would be regulated esser norma, very small platform without this huge impact on our society. and if you've been union finds out that twitter will be, will have had more than $45000000.00 users, then the european regulators could do more about sites such as inspections on the
4:07 pm
company, premises. and scientists regulate us. what get more and better access to find out if everything's the company, tells us and public is true or not. right, that is marcus back as well. thank you very much. indeed for your insights. thank you. the united nations has issued another stark warning on climate change saying the window of opportunity to avert a catastrophe is closing fast. a new un report criticizes richer countries. we're not doing enough. or even promising enough to cut emissions from burning of fossil fuels. scientists say emissions must fall by nearly half in this decade unknown to prevent disastrous heating, the dossier shows the tanis was already warned by $1.00 degrees and it's on the track to be almost 3 degrees hotter by the end of the century. somalia is in the grips of a devastating drought turbocharged by human made climate change. holding them. kirk
4:08 pm
of them being a missionary families like this one in a camp for internally displaced, people in central, somalia had been forced to flee their homes in search of food and water. somalis have done next and nothing contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions. like much of the global south, but that country is ranked as the 2nd most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. now several major un reports a warning that without urgent action, the world is on the path to even more disastrous warming. and global a national clements commitments are falling pitifully shorts. the window to limits global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees is closing. fust, greenhouse gas emissions must be cut by 45 percent these thickets and the current policies the world is heavy for $2.00 degrees of global heating by the end of the century. in other words, we are headed for
4:09 pm
a global catastrophe. with that degree of heating scientists, a life on earth becomes the stuff of nightmares. with the planet unrecognizable from what we currently know, large parts of the world would become uninhabitable. huge numbers of species would be driven to extinction. activists around the world have been ringing the alarm bells for years turning to increasingly disruptive tactics like learning themselves . the roads here in munich in my field. i was just calling dentistry and i was counting the white leg drought. i was counting, flooding from i don't want to did as a, as an equal. it is a discount debt. you discount actors of like london burning buffer. that it is not possible. we noticed that many. now we need to stop it before, like our entire leg planet collapse. experts agree that if the world is to have any chance of averting irreversible climate breakdown, immediate action to slash fossil fuel use needs to be taken. though with oil and
4:10 pm
gas giants raking in record profits, emissions still rising and government slow to act. time is rapidly running out of the wireless, charging me in the studio is d w as climate reporter i did iran, john. so we seen a number of reports on climate change in recent years. i was just projecting a really bleak picture. where are we heading so well don't change so well. lead of promised to try to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius by the end of the century above what we had before the industrial revolution. the current policies put us on track for almost double that. so the latest report that came out yesterday put it at about $2.00 degrees celsius of warming. and if you come for these kind of vague pledges, then it comes further down to $2.00 or even down to just below 2 degrees. what does it, what all of these numbers me, well, essentially, in a well, that's 2.8 degrees hotter than it is today. we see massive crop failure. they
4:11 pm
become much more likely at multiple different points across the globe at the same time, leaving for the free price of costing a lot more for people can actually get the food for a lot of people, they're pushed out of the ability to even afford what they're going to eat, you spend more money on insurance for floods, for droughts, for wild fires, all sorts of events that met. i mean, floods and wildfires definitely on coast for, for coastal 5 will get much stronger. wildfire become more likely and hotter drought, some of them will become stronger as well, so you're paying more money, you're at greater risk of kind of losing your home where your livelihood or your life even in these sorts of events. and i mean, when i asked on climate scientists about decided to just sum it up and she said, i mean that this world is one that we can't adapt to. are we making progress at all? we're making some progress in some ways. but another report that came out just a couple of days ago looked 40 indicators of progress. and i mean, i've got a page from the report right here in front of me. and if you just look here, not one of them is on track to go fast enough to cut emissions quickly enough to
4:12 pm
get to the level that we need to. there's plenty of other ones which are moving in the right direction, which we're making progress on. but not quickly enough, and the 5, which is just going in completely the wrong direction. the maybe good news that you could consider here is that the world, the international energy agency announced yesterday that they expect fossil fuel usage to peak. within the decade. it means that much sooner to actually limit warming to the level of that what well lead of promised to try to aim for. but if i still progress in some description. yeah. and as, as we look to cop 27 the climate summit. what are your projections for what it is, what should they be addressing in the short term? so in the short term, what scientists have been very clear they need to do is put in policies to cut the amount of fossil fuel that being burned and find new ways to create the energy. we see the wind turbines just next to us here. these sorts of things increasing the amount of renewable energy in the system. electrifying processes that currently
4:13 pm
involve burning fossil fuels. all of these things need to happen much, much faster if the world is to kind of 0 out its emissions in a more short time. that also other question. the other countries arrays, and particularly poor ones, about how to pay for the damages that have already been made worse by having heat of the planet and made extreme weather events stronger than it did others at the ranch on. thank you so much. well, let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world. european union has reached a deal to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035. carmakers will have to cut all c o 2 emissions after that the e was trying to speed up the move to electric cars. the measure still has to become door. the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi office has confirmed that her husband was attacked by an intruder at a home in san francisco for pelosi is being treated in hospital,
4:14 pm
but is expected to make a full recovery. for at least 31 people have died and 9 others on missing. after flooding in the philippines, scientists on linking recent heavy rains to climate change. the u. n's nuclear watchdog is sending inspectors to investigate russian claims that ukraine is building a so called dirty bomb. an explosive device lace with nuclear materials care of denies this. and moscow says it's trying to create a pretext for a new escalation. allegations had been made, use pictures are on the way. and this is basically what we need to do. we have to undertake this work of these 2 facilities that were mentioned over the weekend, displaces, were allegedly work to divert nuclear material. footman fabrication over a logical device will be taking place. so this is what we are going to be doing that's on america and says he has no regrets about the war in ukraine. the russian
4:15 pm
leader claims the conflict is going to plan. and moscow has no intention of using we nuclear weapons. speaking in moscow, he accused western leaders of seeking global domination. the united states says putin's remarks are not new though. you. meanwhile, ukraine's president for them is the last. he says his forces a holding out against russian attacks in the eastern don bass region. 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 differ, and bach moot. russian forces continue to grind forward. located in the don, yet screeching bach most 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, was it who control over territory keeps changing hands to day. it's as to morrow,
4:16 pm
there's the day after to morrow. as again, the fighting is intense to day al 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. but the majority of the notice is called one time use. the main task of these one you 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
4:17 pm
shows no sign of slowing down. well, japanese president has described russia's invasion of ukraine as a turning point in history and national address. frank, both assigned maya said the world is entering a period of confrontation. he was gemini, will have to make sacrifices calling for a change on outlook before. and he said, acknowledging this new reality was the only way people would be able to meet the challenges ahead. but it did come kind of policy makers cannot work miracles. no one hadn't gone was, was it in and not even a german president can take away all our worries in these profoundly uncertain times. but us feel it is on the contrary. and i believe that many of these worries are legitimate. we are experiencing the deepest crisis. our united germany has ever known it been about, sorry villains, but i'm firmly convinced that if we become consciously aware of this moment is
4:18 pm
turning point in history. if we begin to understand that one era has come to an end and another has begun, done then, and only then will we be able to see more clearly was yet what is now required of us in fisher. and i am certain he's a annoyance that we will not have to face this new era in fear or without to phone . see i'm doin now by burkhart meissner. he is a security researcher based in hamburg. so what do you make of what the german president had to say and also the timing of the speech? good afternoon. well, according to my opinion, there are at least 3 points which are worth noting in the speech. first of all, the president has announced a kind of turning in his attitude towards russia. it was one among those many people in the german political elite who not to say lean towards russia, but had
4:19 pm
a positive attitude towards producing security together with russia. and this, after the invasion of your cra in, has definitely changed. and he has announced as it were, a complete reversal of his former attitude and expressed in a way also a change that should apply to most of the german leading political figures. secondly, he has put the perspective into the direction of the future, which according to him as a future with less consumption, our future heart work and more pressure on this society, on the democracy, on ourselves as a whole. and this i think is right and it is worth while doing that and expressing what lies a hat. and the 3rd thing which i fight knebworth thee is that he has once again
4:20 pm
brought forward the idea for social service, a kind of compulsory service in the service of society. be it either assume military as a soldier or as a civilian servant for about a year in order not only do service to society, but also to express and to develop the sense of democracy among its younger members on these 3 points, it to my opinion are very important, and it is to be regretted that very little, very few of the political elites of this country took part in this venture. the whole government as far as i informed, was absent. right, so germany and die meyer passed and he has been accused, as you mention of a so reaction to russia, aggression towards ukraine, especially after the 2014 annexation of crimea. is this
4:21 pm
a bed for redemption and possibly even a change in security policy and practical times? well, the president in this country as you know, much better than i is not himself a person who develops the practical political guidelines of this country. rather, he is meant to express what lies underneath, what is the common ground for everybody in this i think he has done quite well. and it is to the government of germany now to draw that is the conclusions from that. one of the conclusion should be to keep an eye on russia and to keep an eye on the behavior which russia has shown. that means an eye on behavior, which other countries might show as well, comparable developments and other parts of the world. i mean, china, for example, the 2nd conclusion should be and to invest more in
4:22 pm
a security and defense. and the 3rd, probably not to hope that the high level of consumption or that we have been accustomed to during the last years, can continue uninterruptedly. and the years to come, this is one of the major points the president has tried to stress. corporate had micener, i speaking to us from hand. i thank you very much indeed for your analysis. thank you and good afternoon to all of you. another news. north korea has fired to short range ballistic missiles into the sea. it's 1st weapons launch in 2 weeks. south korea's military detect the launch on the east coast of the peninsula. the u. s. has warned, the north korea is using a new nuclear weapons and that would mean the end of a regime. meanwhile, military gender has warned of negative implications if south east asian countries
