[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. the world's richest man takes control of twitter in unmask promises to cut sent the ship, but stopped by firing top executives on the program. you ask how speaker nancy pelosi is husband is attacked in

a break in at the couples. home police are investigating whether there's a political motive and germany's president says the russian invasion of ukraine is a turning point in history. frank both assign meyer also warns there are tough years ahead. ah, i'm really mohammed welcome to the program. the bird has been freed, so says it on mosque in a tweet after taking control of twitter, the test the chief has hit the ground running. must began by firing a string of twitter bosses. he says he brought the social media network to boost free speech and communication. but critics say one man should not have so much power over public debates. with let that sink in. this is how you unmask,

walked into twitters headquarters in san francisco. with the grandiose 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 address 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 of failure. the serial inter printers bold moves,

don't come as a surprise to analyst, but his exact vision for the platform is still somewhat unclear. you have to grab that, he's a visionary, and 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 too 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 ones for the platform may not be reflective of what they want. i believe that the line must be buying twin or in twitter will be all ready seen changes the algorithm on getting a lot of right wing stuff all the sudden i might be, but i wasn't getting before ever since. so ever since musket downstairs must has

only vaguely implied what his vision for free speech, but look like. for now, twitter users are left to wonder where the new red lines will be drawn. i spoke to marcus becker del, the founder of a german digital news website that's peak dot org, and i asked him what he thought about where twitter was heading. it's totally unclear to tell us the most relevant global platform for the public. as our platforms have my use us, but twitter where politics and media meets, and it acting real time. but it has lots of problems with hate speech and dis, information, and mask wants to return to remain the caliber debate, marketplace se set. but his own twitter behavior doesn't necessarily suggest he means that it could also set a good example in his personal communication behavior to be a road. but as far as us that would be cheaper for every client. 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 mask now to bring back from after he was suspended. i hope media in this case have learned from this and not robot about any singer of ok to treat from trump. a song hatred and discord on twitter like few of us would have, would be better, was out from. but if he comes back then the problems of hate speech and dis information would be bigger than now. now, the eel with their 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 a bit very at that as a new

e or regulation on platforms wouldn't fit into this new situation on twitter. because twitter is not big enough to be regulated under the digital markets act, which tries to control the market power. but because it has not enough and we'll batch it 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 as a normal, very small platform without this huge impact on our society. and if the europe in 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 company,

premises. and scientists regulate as 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, because our thank you very much indeed for your insights. thank you. an intruder has a taxi husband over us. how speaker nancy pelosi at the couples home in san francisco hall policy is being treated for andrews in hospital, but is expected to make a full recovery. the alleged attacker is being held in custody. police are investigating whether there is a political motive. nancy pelosi was not at home at the time. 8 months to rush. or let's cross over to washington d. c, and speak to d, w. mckayla cochner. what more do we know about this mikaela? well we know that there was an attacker that got into the building through the back door as we're hearing reported by a p in the middle of the night about 230

a san francisco time and started attacking nancy pelosi husband, who's 82 a with a hammer, so we're hearing, he was brought to a hospital where he is being treated and is expected to make a full recovery. and of course, what we don't know is almost more important at this very moment in time. because speculation is rife, whether this indeed could have, in fact, been an attack directly on nancy pelosi and thereby potentially a political attack. we don't know about the motivation of the attacker so far. we are expecting the police to actually face the press during the course of the day. one thing is for sure there are high crime levels in san francisco, but at the same time in the lead up to these midterm elections on november, the 8th, there's not just violent rhetoric. there is a real sense of fear that there could be violence against individual politicians. that's also something that we heard from susan collins,

a republican senator earlier in the month, who said that she wouldn't be surprised if one of her colleagues got killed. that is the level of concern here in washington right now. yeah. as you say, there obviously are concerns about the security for a lot of us politicians as, as they head into the mid term elections in november. is there anything being done to try and get that under control? well one thing is for sure, and then nancy pelosi herself, of course, she has a security with her at all times. but that doesn't extend to her family. and this is true for most politicians here in the country. when you look at polling that has been done. both amongst the republicans and democrats, depending on which poland who you ask between a quarter and a. 6 3rd, do believe that violence is justified to actually impose your own

political concerns, your own political direction. and so this is all part of what is seen as an attack on the democratic process. also fueled by donald trump, it's difficult to avoid mentioning him who just a short while ago when mitch mcconnell or the republican leader minority leader, backed the government spending plan, said that is spoke of him having a death wish. so rhetoric turning into action that is a growing concern here with a growing number of voters feeling that their opinion doesn't. so at the ballot box, that violence can be justified. this all of course, in the light of the january 6th attack, these are very rough times here, even by us standards at the moment. ok, mikaela kuth, keeping on top of that story for us in that washington dc. thank you. well, let's take

a look at some other stories making news around the world. security forces in iran have again opened fire on anti government protesters. at least 8 people have been killed in the last week. as authorities tried to crack down on descent. at least 31 people have died to and 9 others on missing. after flooding in the philippines, scientists on linking recent heavy rains to climate change. police and cyprus were called to a camp housing. hundreds of migrants off to violence, broke out between 2 groups of residents at the overcrowded facility ride police use tear gas to restore order, but made no arrests around 20 tenths of burnt in the violence. north korea has carried out the latest in a series of ballistic missile tests. south korea's military detected the launch of 2 short range rockets. the u. s. has warned young gang that using nuclear weapons

would mean the end of the regime. the u. n's nuclear watchdog ascending inspectors to investigate rushes claims that ukraine is building a so called dirty bomb and expose the device laced with nuclear materials. give denies this and the sangh moscow is trying to create a pretext for a new escalation. allegations have been made, use pictures all the way, and this is basically what we need to do. we have to undertake these 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. hm. hm would be taking place. so this is what we are going to be doing well, sort of a foot and says he has no regrets about the war in ukraine. the russian leader claims the conflict is going to plan. and moscow has no intention of using nuclear

weapons. vicki in moscow here he is western leaders of seeking global domination. the united states says newton's remarks are not new. meanwhile, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski says his forces a holding out against russian attacks in the eastern don bass region. smoke rising over buck, mood across much of the country. successful ukrainian counter attacks have put russia on the defensive. but in the eastern cities of us div kerr and voc 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 as if it were 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, our 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. of them, a voice of manners has called one time use. the main task of these one you soldiers is to come towards us and find out our position. 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. japanese president has described russia's

invasion of ukraine as a turning point in history. in a national address, frank of all the sign myers said the world is entering a period of confrontation. he warns germans will have to make sacrifices. and this calling for a change in outlook and will be before jones. and he also said that, acknowledging this new reality was the only way people would be able to meet the challenges i had. but it, it can kind of policy makers cannot work miracles. no one hadn't gone was, wasn't, and not even a german president can take away. all our worries in these profoundly uncertain times evolved 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. a been about, sorry, i've been doing, but i'm firmly convinced that if we become consciously aware of this moment is turning point in history from 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 is a noise so that we will not have to face this new era in fear or without to fancy. i know i spoke to burke had leister, he's a security researcher base in hamburg, and he gave me his reaction to the german president's address. 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. he was one among those many people in the german political elite who not to say lean towards russia, but had a positive attitude towards and producing security together with russia. and this,

after the invasion of ukraine 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 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 to 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 than he has been accused, as you mention of a star reaction to russia's aggression towards ukraine, especially after the 2014 annexation of crimea. is this a bid for redemption and possibly even a change in security policy in 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 conclusions 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 shows well comparable developments and other parts of the world. i mean, china, for example, the 2nd conclusion should be and to invest more in 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. the call that that my star i speaking to us from hand back. thank you very much indeed for your analysis. thank you and good afternoon to all of you. and in other news, taiwan has invited tyneesa vets to the island to help treat a sick pander to antoine is thought to have a brain tumor. the invitation is an unusual act of candor diplomacy during a time of frosty relations between china and taiwan. the 1st coins with the portrait of king charles the 3rd have gone on show in britain, the 50 pence coin will go into circulation before the end of the year. the king is not seen wearing a crown, unlike his late mother, queen elizabeth the 2nd now brazil goes to the poles this weekend in a run, a thought to elect
