everybody is in argentina and pretty much every football fan kind of wants him to win except for france, fans, and they're looking to change their own history. they're the random chance they're looking to defend the title. that's something that hasn't been done in like 60 years. so it would be massive if they want to. so hopefully for the final was the an absolute cracker of the match to watch. the wu is leih from berlin. stay tuned for business. he was the top what's but more on the roll over free speech at twitter. i'm no massage as while from me and the entire team. thank you for watching thing. we got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah romantic corner. check hot spot for food. check and some great cultural memorials to boot d w. travel off we go. power games on the melting ice.

a reporter tracks down the arctics. major players with your unfolded russian warships and with guns for shadow or starts december 23rd on d w. ah ah, a long musk is threatened with sanctions over twitters journalists bad. you and, and you have warned the platform against attacking press freedom but can regulate us, do anything about it. and it was designed to cut russia or out of the equation, but poland is new canal. it's also proving

a hit with tourists. this is data we're business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program, and attack on press freedom. that's how some have described twist as suspension of the accounts of several journalists. the reporters have previously reported on a long musk takeover of the social media platform. but twitter says that benz relates to sharing location data. whatever the reason representatives out the un and the you don't like what they see. twitter is putting some users on the nautilus this holiday season. the company suspended the accounts of several journalists who are previously covered and written about twitter, including a recent $44000000000.00 take over by ellen musk writers for the new york times. and the washington post, among others fondly recounts disabled by mosque who has previously called himself a free speech. absolutist must said the suspensions are a result of dog thing. his location in real time, which is to say,

exposing his whereabouts and endangering his families and his own safety. axing the account of journalists has called the backlash among uses. and the start warning from senior european politicians, including european commission was president. whereas rover, who tweeted news about arbitrary suspension of journalist on twitter is worrying. east digital services act requires respect of media, freedom and fundamental rights. this is reinforced under are media freedom act, ill on math, should be aware of that, that are read lines and sanctions. soon. the rule requires companies serving european web uses to meet strict standards in terms of manipulative organic, easily through formation. and other realtor shall online hard best refund, but it's not expected to come in to full effect until march next year. the neil over the load you commission to impose fines up to 6 percent on firms that crossed that red line. in extreme cases the you could ask

a court to suspend the rogue service altogether. the success of mosques, business deal with twitter is still up in the air. but regulators in europe are saying the last thing they want to see trending our attacks on press freedom. as discuss this further with dan ice from red bush securities, thanks for joining us, dan. they are suspending sprayer. he will it switch over the last couple of days seem to have caused alarm anyway. the other moves by musk haven't up until this point a has a line been crossed this time? yeah, i think invisible arms cross be because ultimately it goes back to freedom of speech and now we're actually seeing the opposite of it. and i think this is part of the worried when most to go over twitter, that it was just going to become a circus show. and that's really what has become a me, it's been a black eyed from us, a black eyes for tasm. you see that reflect in the stock and i think right now we're, we're going into a could be some dark days ahead for musk and twitter if he continues to go down the

path. yeah, because like his hair in europe taking an interest, we've been hearing politicians of the un talking about this talking about sanction sanctions. i mean if they don't like what they see, come they take action against twitter. look, i think you could do some regulatory focus with in brussels was the best way, but i think the, the bigger worries is the advertisers controversy, advertises can continue to leave. and that really means reading for twitter. i mean, is a company that was, you know, i was called about $1000000000.00 potentially a year the, but now they could be region $4.00 to $5000000000.00 per year because advertise of lap because of the controversy. and that's why this must train wreck situation of owning twitter has really cascaded. yeah. and the whole point was supposed to be that he was turning it back into something that could make money. right? so if he's bringing him policies or taking actions like this, that all scaring off advertise,

is there anyone else within twitter can do anything about it or if his power absolutely. now. yeah, i mean, i think anyone that you know, tries to talk, sent into must probably will not be a twitter to that. and i think that's part of the problem is that he has that power owns the platform right now. but i think what we saw last night with the journalist i now got into a danger zone, because now you could start to see member the fabric of twitter. it's journalist, it's politicians to aberdeen. it's really new car to town hall. your journal is start to sort of move away from the platform. i mean that's, that's a big part of what we've seen. why tours been so successful from an engage in perspective. i mean, this is just really, you know, who owns a category 5 story that much continues to create, not just a twitter, but in the overhang, a pastor. and just briefly, if you can, and we haven't seen any evidence that must will listen to what uses on twitter,

say when it comes to this because he's losing even some of the people who initially supported him because the pro, pro free speech. but the problem and much when he's criticized, he actually doubles down the opposite. and you know, i think you're starting to now see a different side of mosque which, which is concerned because it goes back to originally, you know, when he bought twitter and obviously was a deal. he really needed water on the 1st place. and it's going to go to one of the most over p tech deal dever, but now it's, i think we're now starting to go down a dark alley in terms of where this could had, if it's not course corrected twitter. okay, dana, what bush securities, thank you very much for. thank you. let's take a look at some of the other global stories making the news. european commission will allow the german government to become the majority shareholder of the country, struggling gas in port a unit for the company ran into financial difficulties after russia stopped. its ghast applies to germany, univer was forced to buy fuel elsewhere,

much higher prices, translating into billions in losses. u. s. officials say they've gained sufficient access to audit chinese companies for the 1st time. the development removes the immediate threats of $200.00 chinese companies being de listed from american exchanges. that's a relief major list of chinese companies like ali baba now u. s. movie theaters are hoping for a much needed festive boost from the new avatar. equal the way of water took. it took $17000000.00 on its opening night in the us and canada some distance behind the recently released the black panther war kander forever. that took $28000000.00 on its 1st night. the original avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time. the 2nd installment supposedly cost disney around $350000000.00 to make. let's discuss that further with our financial correspondent in new york,

yann's quarters of the new york stock exchange force. yes, this is the whole movie theater industry over there, counting on this film, doing well over christmas. sure, and i mean, especially for our time there is a lot of money at stake. it is among the most expensive movies of all time so far. the most expensive movie was the 4th installment of the pirates of the caribbean. and back then costing about $380000000.00. but sure, if we look at the broader industry, what it's all about that, what you hear from movie experts that people are willing to watch movies, but there's only limited content. there are dozens of film less out there in this year than what we've seen before. the pandemic struck, and if you look at box offices in north america, we're talking roughly about $7000000000.00 for 2022 and 29 t. and we had about 11000000000. so clearly a revenue with them have been

a decrease in quite a bit. so now it's all about some content and our tar, it's one of the big blockbuster movies that are coming out now during the holiday season. it just brings you canyons, we know the economic pressures in the united states at the moment. a people are expected to be spending money on things like cinema tickets over the festive period or upper traditionally, americans love to go to the movies during the holidays, but then as amended at various economic pressure, especially for people in the lower income brackets. so we were really see if, if people focused on the necessities that movies are not necessarily in the city are going out, there will be theater. so we will wait and see how it plays out. and then also whether might play a role. okay. in the culture in new york for us. thank you very much. now it was bell to the aim of cutting russia out of the equation 3 months ago. poland
