ah, between cosmopolitan soil and captivate wilderness. the portrait if it doesn't strict full of contradictions. kotor starts november 11th. oh, d w. ah, ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin, an attack on the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi is husband. an intruder breaks into the couples. harm in san francisco. police are investigating whether there's a political motive for pelosi is now recovering in the hospital. the world's

richest man takes control of twitter in unmask promises to cod censorship. but stop by firing top executives ah i'm really mohammed welcome to the program. we began with an attack on the husband of the us house speaker, nancy pelosi for policy was injured during a home invasion at the couples house in san francisco. he is currently being treated 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 or not at home at the time. while at let's a cross over to washington d. c and speak to dw mckayla cooper. what more do we know about this attack and how

that had happened? well, we know that it happened to just after 2 am in the morning san francisco time. police said that they arrived at the scene and seeing mister pelosi and david to papa a 42 year old man who was also then arrested at the sea, both holding a hammer. and he's been charged with attempted homicide. he has been detained. both were taken to hospital 1st and although we have this is a statement from the spokesperson of speaker pelosi that her husband is in hospital unexpected to make a full recovery. we didn't get more details really from that police briefing. and there is speculation here in u. s. and media that he may be undergoing a brain surgery that those injuries may be more severe than initially reported. nancy versus folks was had also asked for privacy. and she did ask for that,

but of course it is wild speculation here as we also have heard media reports, citing several sources that the man in the house said asked for where is nancy, where is nancy pelosi and that of course, would indicate that there would have been a political motive and a quick glance at his website or so it does point in that direction. and david do, paper is a clearly a conspiracy theorist. he talks about the elite that need to be brought down colleges being in those areas of where it leads basically scheme against the general people. so at huge question marks, a lot of speculation, not least about the state of health for the husband of the house speaker at all this comes as the u. s. heads into the midterm elections in november. how

much of a concern is violence against us politicians there? it's a big concern. there's 2 sides to this. when you speak to people on the hill, there's nobody who isn't concerned about it. including a leading figures in the republican camp. we saw one center come out just a few weeks ago saying she wouldn't be surprised if a senator was killed. that was a direct quote there. and on the other hand, there are poles that show that an increasing proportion of americans believed that violence could be seen as a legitimate means to not just voice descend, but also to enforce policy. this comes, of course, against the backdrop of the january 6th attack on the capital and 2021. that investigation is still going on here in the united states. but the deep rift between those 2 sides has become something of a more potentially mainstream movement. now this may be

a loan attack if it is politically motivated. but what these attacks, including the attempted kidnapping of gratian rima, where we saw 3 men, a sentence cus, governor, here in the united states, at that point, to really a pattern that violence is occurring more often against politicians. i think that's the, the bottom line here. and this comes or less than 2 weeks ahead of midterm elections that are seen as an important test for democracy or the u. s. calico reporting for us in washington dc. thank you so much. now the bird has been freed, 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 debate. let that sink in. this is how ellen mosque 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 day. 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, 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 or 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 han weaving at free speech. but some quarter 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 twitter will begin to twitter. but we're already seen

changes the 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 musket downstairs, musk has only vaguely implied what his vision for free speech but look like. for now, twitter users are left you wonder where the new red lines will be drawn. jonathan nagger is a co director of new york's university center for social media and politics. earlier, he told me more about, you know, must claim to be a free speech. absolutist depends. if absolute means absolute. even people in united states who think cree speech is incredibly important and believe that the 1st amendment is absolute, generally accepted the notion that you can't, you know, fire in a crowded theater. can, you know that the u. s. government is free to regulate speech that can cause eminent harm and mosque has said nothing about his understanding of that basic

concept that the speech can cause immediate harm. so of their speech on twitter, suggesting to people that they can take, i think the cures for co, with it actually cause harm. this could lead us to a very bad situation. now, theresa does have a trust problem. he had the conservatives who are fearing being censored, and then the, the on the other side you got the progressives who are worrying about this information and hate speech. is he able to fix these issues as well? no social media platform has completely fixed those issues before and so there is no particular reason to think that mosque will, but more importantly, he doesn't seem to to want to fix those issues. or at least in terms of hate speech . if he is an absolutist for free speech, but he is essentially ta this, he's okay with a speech hate speech. if we take him at his word, he will lead hate speech, run free on twitter, and in all likelihood,

that means twitter will become a nasty place for a lot of people and those people will leave. there's a reason that platforms that don't have content moderation remain very small. they're not pleasant places for most people to be. so what does he need to do now to appeal to new uses and also keep the ones that are currently on the platform. if he actually gets if he, i think he has to change his is vision as he stated, of what twitter can be. i think he has to understand that there is a reason that the platforms in gauging content, moderation. and you can believe in, in speech where you are politically neutral, that you let you know all viewpoints have, have their se, provided you accept the idea that ok, you can let new points have their say provided they are not trying to cause imminent harm. so if, if you have speech that says, hey,

why not go go to the capitol and have a violent assault on congress tomorrow. you have to recognize that that is not political speech. that is, is speech intended to cause imminent harm. that was that johnson neglect from the n y u center for social media and politics. speaking to us adela earlier well, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world security forces in iran have again open fire on anti government protesters. at least a people have been killed in the last week as authorities try to crack down on dissent. police in cyprus will called to a camp housing hundreds of migrants after violence broke out between 2 groups of residents at the overcrowded facility by police used to take asked to restore order, but made no arrests around. 20 tenths were 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 united states has warned pyongyang that using nuclear weapons would mean the end of the regime. there russia says it has completed its call up of 300000 military reservists defense minister. so again, sure glue says crucial over 80000 reserve troops have already been deployed to ukraine. the rest austell than training vladimir putin issued the mobilization order last month to be fought russian forces in ukraine, the call up led to protests and also prompted tens of thousands of people to flee the country. now at the united nations nuclear watchdog is sending inspectors to investigate ukraine's claims that ukraine is building a so called dirty bomb. an explosive device lace with nuclear materials give denies this. and moscow says it's trying to create a pretext for

a new escalation. allegations have been made, use pictures are on 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, displaces, were allegedly work to divert nuclear material. footman fabrication over a logical device would be taking place. so this is what we are going to be doing. germany's president has described russia's invasion of ukraine as a turning point in history. in a national address, frank volta sign my as said the world as entering a period of confrontation, he warms germans will have to make sacrifices, and his calling for a change in outlook will be before. and he said, acknowledging this new reality was the only way people would be able to meet the challenges ahead. political current policy makers cannot work miracles. no one hadn't gone was, was event. and not even

a german president can take away all our worries in these profoundly uncertain times. it helped us feel it as 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 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 it is a noise so that we will not have to face this new era in fear or without the fancy the pioneering a rock'n'roll performer. jerry lee lewis has died at the age of 87 best of for classics. like great balls of fire and

a whole lot of shaken going on. louis was credited with making rock and roll the dominant american pop music of the 1950s. his rags to riches life story was not without controversy though. he faced the scandal when he married his 13 year old cousin, the 3rd of his 7 marriages. lewis died in his harm in mississippi. you're watching the debate is live from berlin coming up next. is a documentary called can't pay well, pay looking at the history of taxation. thanks for watching our season by i have been sent and i have been better because we tried to show 3 of face mafia for the world. environmentalists are in danger.
