[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, an 800000000 dollar settlement brings an end to a defamation lawsuit between us cable network, fox news and dominion boating system. the truth matters. why have consequences?

dominion has accused fox, i'm spreading false claims that it's voting machines helped break the 2020 election, causing donald trump to lose. also coming up a cease fire in sudan fails to hold as fighting rages on millions of civilians remain trapped in their homes. some without food or water, and poland prepares to mark the anniversary of the biggest single act of jewish resistance against the nazis during world war 2. plus 2 war time leaders to covert visits to frontline troops and ukraine. we look at why morale needs boosting with the arrival of spring. ah, i'm sorry, kelly. welcome to the program. u. s. broadcast or fox news has agreed to settle

a defamation lawsuit by voting technology company, dominion for nearly $800000000.00. it means fox will avoid a trial over allegations that had helped spread false claims that dominion's voting machines helped rig the 2020 election against donald trump. it was set to be a landmark trial. a defamation case against the largest u. s. news broadcaster shadel to last for 6 weeks, but it was over before it even started. reporters and spectators had gathered inside the court room in delaware when the judge announced that the case had been resolved. fox news corporation and voting technology company dominion had reached a settlement with fox agreeing to pay dominion $787500000.00 us dollars. ma, fox news legal team did not give any comments on leaving the court. the company later published

a statement saying that they did acknowledge the court's rulings. finding certain claims about dominion to be false, but offered no apology. lawyers for dominion called the settlement of victory for democracy. the truth matters wise have consequences. over 2 years ago, a torrent of lies swept dominion and election officials across america into an alternative universe of conspiracy theories. kazi grievous harm to dominion in the country. the law sued by dominion which sells voting machines and election software alleged that fox news knowingly ad false claims that the companies machines have been used to rig the 2020 presidential election against donald trump. those claims helped

fuel the outrage that led many trump supporters to storm the capital in january of 2021 many from beckers still believe the election was rigged. while the settlement is a heavy price to pay for the media company, it is only about half of what dominion was suing full. and it has saved fox news from further public scrutiny. and its top anchors and foxes found a rupert murdoch from having to take the stand and from orland brigand mathias spiel comp. he is the founder of algorithm, watch a non profit organization that monitors the effects of algorithm spread information . welcome to the program. thank you for joining us on fox news is not the only outlet that has been accused of knowingly spreading miss information about dominion . tell us how big a deal this settlement is. i think it's

a huge deal in the sense that exactly what you're pointing to is that others could be encouraged to also sued because they see that they have a case. on the other hand, it's actually even for someone like me who is a send off the freedom of the press, it is sad to see that it's not going to or a court because it would have been a lamp my case. and the outcome would have been, let's say, of defining how of media companies can, can work, especially in the united states. the story, however, is not over. we know that fox is facing another 2700000000 defamation lawsuit by another voting technology company. our smart smart matic when we look just generally at the situation though, what about cases where misinformation targets entities other than companies which, which can pyar lawyers and defend themselves. so what if we're looking at issues like climate change or human rights, for example, where misinformation is also being spread?

yeah, that's a very, very good point. what we see here is that this company, the voting machine company, actually has the means to hire the lawyers. and it's incredibly expensive because also in the united states, we have to secure that basically you always have to pay for your own lawyer team. and even though if you, for example, when in the, in the cost are not covered by the other party, which is different than that joyce fiction, which would encourage someone to just take a risk, but maybe then in the end not have to face all the parts themselves, but what i do see is that it's basically in the united states. there's also, i just call it a business of lawyers who do this on, let's say on a commission basis on the success basis. so they say, if we take the case, then we just do it for free for you. but if we, when we take a large share of the settlement and that could also be

a way for individual is, was smaller organizations who are facing the same problems to now be also encouraged to, to take the risk and go to court because they feel that fox news was scared enough to stay for almost $800000000.00. what is it likely to mean this settlement for the next us presidential race? do you think? and just in general, the way that news is covered by american broadcasters, and the way that they disseminate information it's for then it's like a very professional risk assessment that they're making in professional. i mean, they look at the numbers. so what do they risk? they know what that pretty clearly now base rift losing $800.00, almost $800000000.00. but the question is,

what do they gain if they continue spending spending life in his information? because they apparently, and this is what the document showed, did it mostly because they were afraid that others would take market share. now, you know, if you make a calculation, what is that market share worth? how much out read you? do we get? if we can keep the market share and if that's more than 800000000 in all, we can do it. a question to me is also, what does it mean for social media companies? especially twitter, because there's like a rockers going on at the moment. we must not giving any consideration about shoes or this inflammation and portraying himself as the leader of the free speech movement and doing exactly the same. and whether there is also a case for people doing social media companies, which is not the same thing as like a tv operation, like fox news, but yeah, it could be interesting. nashville. com. thank you so much for putting this into

context for us. as we mentioned, fox news agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit with voting, technology, company, dominion. and just a quick note before we leave our interview on fox, according to the settlement, did not have to apologize or admit to spreading those falsehoods according to the deal. matea. thank you so much for putting it into context for us. thanks. letting me no fighting is continuing in the sudanese capital cartoon. despite plans for a cease fire, nearly 200 people have been killed since violence ruptured between the military and a paramilitary group at the weekend. millions of people are trapped in their homes, supplies of food and water are reported to be running low. it was supposed to be a 24 hour truce. it lasted just minutes. fresh gunfire brought an abrupt end to the con, so many her curts,

whom had been craving ah, after 4 days of heavy fighting, there are few signs of life on the streets of cartoon. residents are spending the last at holiest days of ramadan, hiding in their holes, asked about a war sawn outside their windows. with ramadan, we've reached a point where, honestly, we don't know which day we are in donald on event it we. usually it's like a feast. you know, when it comes to, to breaking our foss, it's like a piece. another is excited and over and i'm ready for the food, but it honestly, all tastes bland. we barely eat any more because everyone i think around stress and, and like diety ah, the cautious if all but cut off supplies of food, leaving many civilians to fear for their survival. the longer this war loss,

the longer we're going to have people starved and people go through situations where now there have to steal and the half. so i try to really live ah, the world health organization has worn the medical supplies could also soon dry up . there are disturbing reports of some health facilities being looted and others, being used for military purposes, is also reported that some hospitals are already closed or on the brink of closure . due to attacks and the lack of medical personnel and medical supplies. the bitter battle between sedans to most powerful generals, is threatening to turn into a humanitarian crisis. with fierce mounting that it could have ripple effects across the region. and earlier i spoke with mohammed, i mean a journalist based in sydney's capital cartoon. i asked him what has been happening

there this morning? yes, this morning, and despite the death throes, they're there to better use for that that be just that there between the 2 sides. but the, if i can, is ongoing and this, today's warming has witnessed the was a strikes actually invitations all in the, in the business of the house, if, as well as in and around me it was. so it's basically the south, the national of me is a strong living. i use it again is ah, the obviously visions. so are you going to say to leave that to be, is it was the aggressive day or 5 been since early morning of the district date of, of the pleasures between the national are. why

did the broker trace not last? it's, it's, it's, it's for one of these is actually the mist just between the 2 sides because of the long disputes the aggressive war or did it go. so you get from the heights. so the people that not just this to mean because of what has happened actually over the years and what happened over the last few days. so, so we have experience that the 2 sides have. it's not the kind of stand that the very late that, that they agreed upon because on sunday they give promise to or from so for us to use. but they also need to be. so the, the, the, the, the, the, the fighting, it's continue, as you said,

it has been badly affected on the military is especially interesting situation that was given as of the committee. i just said this one in that 39 was because out of 59. hm. out of a leave because of because of the fam, or because of the cut off of the, or running out of the scenes and even this, i mean, the doctors who kind of go outside their homes to the house because to have to be no 100. i mean journalist and the student is capital cartoon. thank you so much for joining us to tell us a little bit more about the situation there. poland, as marking the 80th anniversary of the warsaw ghetto uprising today. it is known as

the single largest act of jewish resistance against the nazis during world war 2. the presidents of israel and germany will join their polish counterparts to mark the occasion in warsaw, reminders of a devastating period in warsaw as past memorials to the cities ghetto, are scattered around the polish capital. $450000.00 jewish children, women and men were crammed together behind the walls of the sealed off district. before world war 2, almost a 3rd of war. so as population was jewish, ever since nazi germany had invaded poland in 1939 jews, there were subjected to constant persecution by the occupiers. a year later they were confined to the warsaw ghetto, leaving with permission was punishable by death as was helping its inhabitants, hunger infectious diseases dire sanitary conditions. slave labor made for hellish conditions in the ghetto. by $942.00,

almost 100000 people had died of starvation or disease, or be murdered in summary executions that same year, the mass deportation of jews from the warsaw, ghetto to trip blink extermination comp began within a period of just 2 months. nearly 300000 were murdered the following year in april 1943 to jewish resistance groups started and uprising against the germans. despite some initial successes, the uprising was crushed by the nazis who destroyed the ghetto. though to survive, the rebellion were sent to tripling. cadet camp and other camps many were murdered . the uprising was one of the largest acts of resistance by jews during world war 2 . and i witness wrote at the time, jewish war so had ceased to exist. denazi's had

a raised one of the biggest jewish communities in europe. and i spoke earlier about this with stefan aged at a professor of holocaust studies at berlin's toro university. i asked him about the significance of the warsaw ghetto uprising. the significance is live in that, that they actually wanted to fight for their on that day said we don't want to less than ne, get the way they want it. so if we're going to die, we can die with our weapons in the hands. what did the nazis intend when they set up the warsaw ghetto? because i mean close to half a 1000000 people were here. they were crammed into small sections of the estimate section of the cities, rounded by a 3 meter high wall though when they set up the ghetto, they did not yet think of full of the actual extermination they. they wanted to

have the jews in the get it to separate them from the non jewish population. and it would be later in the course of the year, 941 day. you both the year off actually killing all those tooth. and then with the year 942 starting room, they began with later code on reinhardt and the ex combination. pay gas in poland. and in summer 942. they started the porting due from the war, so get it to the treblinka extermination camp. and what happened in 943 and a prose right before the beginning of the uprising was that they actually wanted to deport the rest. the last remaining inmates of the ghetto, to extermination camps and to forced labor camps. and we know, you know, before the nazis began, all of this, that war saw had this huge jewish community at the time. just walk us through how

important was jewish life in the city where you can hardly over estimate a jewish life in the city. it's almost 40 percent of the inhabitants of war. so we're actually jewish. so while we had there was really a heterogeneous society and it was, i mean in parts they were living, they were living quite separately. and there was an actual jewish life that was not, not driven by polish society. and they had their own. they closed their shops on saturday because there was chavez and there this was a separation, but it was a separation by their own choice. and it paused. they were both, i mean it was, it was a joint society and they were doing trade and they were willing to schools and all the like. so it's really in poland they had in the overall polar

a do a share was more than 10 percent. so you can imagine this is a huge and important minority also important actually for social life and especially for intellectual life. shift on the instead, professor of holocaust studies. thank you so much for joining us on this day as poland marks the 80th anniversary of the warsaw ghetto uprising. thank you. and poland has agreed to lift a ban on the transporting of ukrainian grain through its territory. beginning on friday, polish authorities had introduced the ban after farmers complained, cheap grain imports from ukraine were reducing prices and sales. grain shipments passing to poland will now be monitored and sealed. the issue has put poland, ruling party under pressure in the run up to parliamentary elections. a russian strike on the southern ukrainian city of her son has killed at least one person and wounded several more ukrainian president balloon. mary lansky has been
