>> this is dw news, from berlin. the u.n. secretary general describes a war in ukraine as people. also on the program, president biden asked the u.s. congress for another $33 billion for ukraine. the fight against russia is not cheap and then caving into aggression would cost more. olaf scholz and his first ever

trip to japan. we will look at how policies have changed in berlin. the temperatures in delhi top 40° celsius. monsoon rains are not expected until june. i am phil gayle. welcome to the program. he held talks with volodymyr zelenskyy. this is where russian forces are believed to have carried out atrocities.

>> these are places that carry the cries of unspeakable pain, the soil stand by the blood of innocent lives lost. these cities are on the outskirts of the ukrainian capital have become synonymous with the carnage wreaked. on his first visit to ukraine since the start of the war, he was appalled by the scale of the destruction. >> this is an absurdity. the war is evil. there is no way to work and be acceptable in the 21st century. they called for a thorough investigation into the hundreds of people. atrocities that are being described as war crimes.

>> this is one of the places that antonio got to see the 70,000 people that lived here while most of them fled. some of them died and those that remain speak of those weeks a hell on earth. in a war that the u.n. chief says most and as soon as possible. in a joint press conference, he called once more for an end to the violence. >> this war must end and peace must be established in line with a chart between the united nations and international law. many leaders have made efforts to stop the fighting. i am here to say to you mr. president and to the people of

ukraine, we will not give up. we keep pushing for striving for radical steps. crimes as the fight for the east intensifies, these satellite images are begin to show freshly dug graves near mariupol. a chilling preview the suffering yet to come. >> rebecca has been traveling with the secretary and she told me more about what he said after meeting with president zelenskyy. >> he is calling for an entered the war as he has been doing all along. he did anowledge the failure of the u.n to prevent this war from breaking out and also its failure in being able to stop it since it has broken out.

he was questioned on that as well. just what can the u.n. do when russia holds a permanent state on the security council? he said it is regretful that i can't do anything about the structures of the humanut we stand 100% behind ukraine and will do whatever we can. there are food supplies to remain open from ukraine. they spoke about cooperation and trying to get that stuff out. they spoke privately for around 2.5 hos. one thing everyone was waiting to hear about is that humanitarian corridor and whether or not that would be successful out of the besieged city of mariupol. there is about 2000 soldiers.

they are still trying to stay alive along with about a thousand civilians as well. that has been a hot topic. the details were very thin on the ground. " is that what he came out of that meeting with? a tentative suggestion of a humanitarian corridor? >> it isard to know whether or not that will beuccessl but when he spoke with vladimir puti psident putin said he was open to the humanitarian corridor in principle. ukraine is very distrustful of the words of vladimir putin.

they are asked to comment on the humanitarian corridor. that is a huge key thing. when he was pressed by a journalist in the room to please give us me details, do yo have a timeframe? what other things that have been discussed and how is it going to go about? do you want me to get these people out or do you want a good sound bite for tv? we know these humanitarian corridors are incredibly difficult, they often fail and they will remain very tightlipped until they move on further. that is something going on in the background and i am sure we will hear more about it in the coming days.

>> they talked a few details. they are trying to maintain the opening of food distribuon from ukraine. that brings much needed money into ukrne as well. there was basically talk of support for adding the most concrete thing we got out of it was that -- the fact that this humanitarian cridor will actual be atteted but i can't give you any more deil. he did not want to talk about it and ither did president zelenskyy but he diday one of the stragic things heants out it is to make sure the people arevacuated into ukrainian territory and not russian territory.

>> in this report, we look at the difficulties of investigating such atrocities. it does include some distressing images. >> they were images that shock the world. this is what ukrainian soldiers found when they retook the town after weeks of russian occupation. not far away, mass graves held more residence. volodymyr zelenskyy visited the scene, physically -- visibly shocked and saddened.

you can see what happened. there have been raped women and murdered children. >> investigators are on the ground in blue-chip, trying to document what happened. even as they and the world watched the graves opened, russia claimed this footage was fake. for ukraine, what happened in bhutto was not an isolated event. the russian forces have committed thousands of war crimes across the country. the entire city is an alleged crime scene. residents are being for that loosely bound by russian forces. 300 were said to have been killed. on the ground outside, the word judgment in russian showing that

this was a civilian shelter. russia denies targeting residential areas in ukraine. fighting still ongoing, and investigation here would have to wait. this is evidence for a missile attack on the eastern city. ukraine says russia fired it. hundreds had come to the train station here. hoping to get a place on a train going to safety in the west. the attack killed more than 50 people. they came here to escape the war but instead they joined the list of its victims. pressure is going to hold the foot -- hold the firm into account. russia is not expected to cooperate in any investigation and while claims of war crimes are difficult to prove, they are even harder to prosecute.

>> we will look at similar development in this war. while the outflow has slowed, there are more than 8 million near the end of the year. germany's parliament is expected to supply more arms to ukraine including heavy weapons and the governing coalition and opposition conservatives agreed to step up deliveries. chancellor schultz previously held back on heavy weapons while provoking a conflict with russia. mr. schultz says his country seeking ties in the asia-pacific region. the comments came during a visit to japan where they repeated their condemnation of russia's war in ukraine. >> germany and the european union will continue and

intensify their -- our, focus is on ukraine. germany and japan stand side-by-side. >> day explain the significance of this chancellor where recent predecessors have started in china. >> he made a political point of not going to the most important trading partner. he went to g7 partner. this is a message to japan that

the solidarity it has shown by shoving those sanctions over ukraine and russia is being rewarded at the same time that values will become increasingly important in global business. >> joe biden has asked congress for an additional $33 billion in aid to ukraine. the president said the funds signal a commitment to ukraine and it was critical that congress approve it quickly. >> the supplement of funding addresses the needs of ukraine. it begins to transition to the security systems.

this insistence will provide armored vehicles, anti-air capabilities that have been used so effectively so far. >> we got an assessment of mr. biden's speech. >> it is a significant amount of money that president biden is requesting. the idea is that this is enough to keep aid flow into ukraine for the next coming months. lloyd austin was in germany earlier this week. speaking with allies there about

what they need for the current time and the long term. he also met with president zelenskyy in kyiv. some of the weapons came directly from those meetings. around 3 billion of this aid is going to be humanitarian assistance to defray the costs of the global food insecurity that has emerged as a result of this war. we know ukraine is an important supplier. that has been disrupted. president biden said it is a lot of money but said the cost of giving to russian aggression is higher. he made a point to say we are not attacking russia. we are helping ukraine defend itself and that would appear to be a response to president putin of russia issuing another threat , saying any country helping ukraine would face a lightning quick response. we don't know what president bushman meant by that. >> is this a popular cause

across the aisle in congress? is congress likely to say yes? >> it is popular. there are very few issues. this is likely to get approval. just last month, the previous aid package of $14 billion was approved overwhelmingly by numbers of congress and u.s. officials from both sides of the aisle -- there was an understanding that this could go to a long protracted battle in the east and that aid and weapons will have to continue to flow and that the u.s. -- it is a question of european and american security. >> the u.s. economy shrank in the first three months of the year for the first time since

the start of the pandemic. despite this, most economists expect a rebound in the second quarter with spending by households and businesses picking up. many companies are facing labor shortages. let's explore this with christie from dw business. economists surprised by today's growth numbers. what did they miss? >> it is important to remember that we saw gdp growth of nearly 7% in the u.s.. i think we need to give the economists a little bit of a break. what happened here? we are seeing a slowdown from a robust recovery from the pandemic and the u.s.. if we take a closer look, we can to the fundamentals of the u.s. economy are still really strong. it is just a really different environment.

last year we were sitting government stimulus going on, low interest rates and a lot of people there were less afraid of covid-19. this has just changed since then. we have interest rate hikes and people spent a lot of that cash they saved up during the pandemic. this has a negative effect on the gdp figure. it ultimately points to high demand in the u.s.. we are seeing a normalization of the economy in the u.s.. that is not mentoring all of the abnormal things and the tight labor market there. >> there is a lot going on. you are saying it is a high price, the labor shortage. what is washington doing about this? >> economists say the risk of the recession in the short term is not very likely but the interesting thing to watch right now, you will see the political

sphere. what is joe biden going to do? republicans will be really eager to stick this negative number to him. as we are talking about this, we are seeing high wage growth, high demand. economists say these are better measures. that being said, all these aspects you just mentioned make americans feel insecure about the economy. even if the fundamentals are strong. democrats only have a slim margin and they could have done this without this negative number. >> it appears the war in ukraine could spill over into neighboring moldova, the tiny eastern european nation shares a long border with ukraine. moldova includes a breakaway region controlled by separatists

in battle by russia. the country is facing a dangerous moment after a string of explosions. christine report. >> preparing to work after easter break. she is the principal of this primary school, a small village on the board of the transistor region. the conflict ended with them breaking away from moldova and declaring their own independence. it is -- it has never been recognized. the were in ukraine where is her. >> when we hear the news -- the news on the radio and see the news on television, it makes us feel very stressed.

i feel stressed. it is painful to imagine someone destroying everything you spend your whole life building. >> the prospect of that seems more real today. this is only a short distance away and a string of explosions has raised tensions in all of moldova. >> the authorities have placed the region and the highest security there. people can only -- can only go in and out if it is necessary. >> no one claimed responsibility for the explosions but many suspect russian involvement.

>> they basically have the main objective to incite and spread panic and to civilize. they would like to have a more loyal administration. >> it is not clear if this will be dragged into russia's war with ukraine. for her part, valentina hopes peace will prevail. >> we will take a quick look at some stories away from the work. we will start in peru where police have - otesters s they are ghting to reclaim their ancestral lands.

more chinese cities are carrying out mask over testing as well as beijing. they are now required to undergo multiple tests and face trel restrictions. on thursday, authorities announced a record 11,000 infections and two deaths. this is the race to get vaccinated and by test kits. quest they demanded the resignation of the president. we focused on rising fuel prices and currency problems.

traffic stopped as simon sounded across the country, they are being used to educate people about the holocaust. india is in the grip of an extreme heat wave. temperatures are topping 40 degrees celsius. modi is one of the risk of destructive fires. >> it is that time of the in new delhi. temperature music -- captures region 40 degrees celsius. my body is constantly drenched with sweat. if it is so hot already, it gets even hotter in june. for three days now, firefighters have been trying to douse these claims.

as temperatures climb, spontaneous fires and to the toxic air here. there were 20 huts nearby, all of them burned down. they have issued heatwave warnings. even animals are suffering. zookeepers are trying to bring them relief. -- leaves. >> we added more drinking water facilities. march this year was more than 120 years. it looks like the worst is yet to come. >> as a reminder of our top stories this hour, the u.n. secretary general made its first

visit to ukraine, they are alleged war crimes. u.s. president joe biden has asked congress for an additional $33 billion in aid for ukraine. the package includes 20 billion in military assistance. more builders at the top of the hour. i will be back in just an hour to take you through the big stories of the day in the day.

>> welcome to "live from paris," world news and analysis from france 24. the u.n. security council fields to do everything in its power to end the war. antonio guterres is in these words as he toured the better town of bucha. he said the warmest and now, and that these two explosions were heard in kyiv after his visit. several were injured. with a dimmer zelenskiy saying this is russia's attempt to humiliate the u.n. military, economic and

humanitarian aid, u.s. president joe biden announcing a further package for ukraine. it all amounts to an extra $33 milln. turkey present evergrande -- turkey's president visits saudi arabia. the move is seen as an attempt to restart relations. this is "live from paris." ♪ mark: thank you for being with us. an attack was launched on kyiv after a visit from the u.n. this thursday. one person was killed and several injured in two separate explosions. while earlier u.n. secretary general walked the better streets of the ukraine towns of

bucha and ordered younger, satellite tones near kyiv that were destroyed by russian compartment and occupation. the message from antonio guterres was this warmest and, adding that the u.n. security council failed to do everything in its power to end the war. >> let me be very clear. the security council failed to do everything in its power to prevent and end the war. this is a source of great disappointment, frustration, and anger. but we at the united nations are working everyday for the people of ukraine, side-by-side with so many brave ukrainian organizations. mark: guterres, the secretary-general of the u.n. there, speaking in kyiv. whether you could president welcomed the visit and the words, there is a reminder the russians kept on bombing and

shooting, even to on humanitarian corridors. >> either u.n. monitoring mission has to continue registering kind committed by russia -- registering other crimes committed by russia. the russian invasion into ukraine has brought so many crimes against civilian people, against citizens, that europe has not seen since the end of the second world war. it is important that secretary guterres raised the issue of evacuating civilians from mariupol. we need the russian president statement with regards to the evacuation. it was always accompanied with bombardments. and those bombardments took place even during the negotiations between president putin and u.n. secretary general. mark: those are the words from volodymyr zelenskyy. the russian strikes that followed the visit from antonio

guterres were aimed at humiliating the united nations. our correspondent has an overview. he is in kyiv. reporter: must have been something of a morale booster, i suppose that is the best we can hope for, but even after negative nancy himself admits the u.n. has not been effective in deterring russia or in preventing the invasion. he was criticized, including by the ukrainian president for this visit, for his choice of going to moscow first and then coming to kyiv. but when he was welcomed by the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy said it was important and very good that he was here, very good also that he visited the towns in the region, that are the scenes of these alleged war crimes. judging by the rhetoric antonio guterres leader had in his conference alongside volodymyr zelenskyy, and the meeting with the ukrainian president and other ukrainian dignitaries that was released, in which he called russia's invasion of the ukraine

a war, and said as much to the minister when he met him, all of that would have been quite hard to then go to moscow with. it would have been hard for entry to guterres to go to moscow with the request that muska cooperate with the international criminal court, which we know moscow is very unlikely to do. so imay be something of a vindication of his decision to go to moscow first and then kyiv, looking at the very strong backing of ukraine and expressions of support for ukraine, and even regret that he wasn't able to do more, that he has been presenting here. mark: gulliver cragg, our correspondent. the war on the eastern front in ukraine is intensifying by the date. russia is focusing its efforts on trying to take the whole of the donbass region -- cities like kharkiv, donetsk, luhansk. our reporter is from kramatorsk. reporter: citizens in the ruined kramatorsk in eastern ukraine fear what could be next.

they live with the sound of sirens all day long. more than three-quarters of its population has fled, an estimated 45 thousand people remain the city. they face contradiction. >> it is really bad. there are missiles every day, sirens. >> the war is out in the street. reporter: kramatorsk is near the front line of the donbass region, and is a strategic target for russian troops. three weeks ago it was so hit the city's train station, packed with civilians trying to flee. newly 60 people were killed. for local hospital staff, the day is hard to forget. you are chronically understaffed. only three sergeants stayed in the city. they say the situation is critical -- only three surgeons stayed in the city. they say the situation is critical. >> if we leave, there will be nobody to provide medical

support, and a huge number of people will simply die without this help. reporter: local authorities say russian forces are within less than 50 kilometers of kramatorsk. mark: president joe biden of the u.s. is asking congress for $33 billion to support ukraine, a dramatic escalation of u.s. funding. the war with russia, and the new tools to siphon assets from russian oligarchs. is funding request includes $20 billion -- $20 million for weapons, ammunition, military assistance, as well as a $.5 billion of economic assistance to the government, as well as $3 billion of humanitarian aid. let's hear the words of jubail joe biden. >> i just sent a request to congress for economic and humanitarian assistance to help ukraine continue to counter putin's aggression. we have to do our part as well

. the cost of this fight is not cheap, but caving to aggression is going to be more costly if we allow it to happen. mark: that is president joe biden announcing that $33 billion in extra funding for ukraine. bulgaria's prime minister sent a defin message over russian's decision to stop the gas supply. he said the energy is an urgent issue. 90% of bulgaria's gas has so far been bought from russia. russia turned off the gas this week. the president said his country would be able to find alternative supplies, and other countries can do so, too. >> we were never planning to be without russian girls a few month back. but we have alternative choices over starting to develop alternative strategy. if we are able to do it, everybody in europe should be

able to do it. mark: turkey's president is making his first visit to saudi arabia since the murder of a dissident generalist on turkey's soil. the visit is seen as a reset of diplomatic relations. jamal khashoggi was murdered and dismembered at this article slid in istanbul in 2018, a murder that has been linked back as far as the saudi crown prince, mohammad bin salman. reporter: because dollars will come. these were the scathing words used by turkeys main opposition party in describing the turkish president's about-face in his relations with regard, and the transfer of the khashoggi case to saudi arabia. a day after the saudi critic's murder in october of 2018, crown hit prince mohammad bin salman said should be had left the consulate after a few minutes, or one hour. authorities in the kingdom later issued multiple contradictory statements, including that the generalist had died during a

fist fight the saudi consulate in istanbul. president erdogan hain the past accus the saudi government given the green light for khashoggi's murder, scene it was concocted at the highest levels of the saudi state. he also repeatedly brandishing the threat of audio recordings which he said his country had shared with the kindle and other countries. >> all evidence gathered that's that jamal khashoggi was the victim of a salvage murder. we expect saudi arabia to bring to light those responsible, from the highest ranks to the lowest, and bring them to justice. reporter: that was in october of 2018, the month sugar was killed. but on april 7 of this year, a turkish trial was halted of suspects being tried in absentia over the killing, it was transferred to saudi arabia.

the move sparked widespread condemnation from human rights groups and from khashoggi's friends and family. >> we know very well how the justice system works, or rather, it doesn't work in saudi arabia. of course, nobody expects for justice to prevail. i don't expect it either. this is a political decision. reporter: arrogance bid to mend ties with the kingdom is not isolated, with emerging economic crisis at home, turkey is increasingly adopting a new pragmatic approach in its foreign relations after years of competitive foreign policy. mark: very much a controversial visit. let's get broader analysis. a professor of middle east studies at lancaster university and also head of an institute for peace, and a director of i think. simon, great heavy on france 24 as always. for you, what is this visit by oregon really about?

simon: thanks for having me again. this is the culmination of a broader attempt to reintegrate turkish relations with the wealthier goal states. we know that erdogan is someone who has had fractures relationships with the saudis and others, but he is conscious of the mounting pressures back home that are predominately economic, but they are manifesting in political unrest as well. so i think what he is trying to do is integrate turkey back with the wealthier goal states, such as the saudi and emirati's. mark: it is almost like saying that what happened to jamal khashoggi because for nothing. simon: sadly, yes, that is unfortunately one of the two resumes of realpolitik. these questions, human rights matter little have huge economic

stakes. and while mr. erdogan championed the cause for justice for jamal khashoggi, that seems to have been sacrificed when the pressures mounting at home pushed him to go to saudi arabia . firstly, further case, the trial to the saudi's to administer their own justice themlves, and now to go to the saudi's to visit them during ramadan, which is a special time, and to try to facilitate ts. rk: indeed, the issue of ramadan was part of my next question, which also is raising the issue about iran. briand and ankara both have a mutual suspicion of iran. is that more important than anything? simon: iran has a looming specter in the middle east, particularly in the sunni states and the sheer states. there has been long concerns and

fears of hiring and manipulation. but that is perhaps something in the background. i would argue right now that the more pressing case for mr. erdogan and for the saudi's is finance. the saudi's need finance as well. they need to engage with other states and turkey is in desperate need of a currency injection. mark: simon mabon, director of middle east studies at lancaster,, thank you for sharing your analysis with us about rigid tire of erdogan's visit to saudi arabia, of course -- recep titayyep ardern, turkeys president. jamal khashoggi was an american citizen and journalist who was killed in the consulate units

will, where he was collecting papers to get married, he never exited the building. there was already evidence of what happened to him. horrific it was indeed. next, families caught in the crossfire. children are among at least 20 people killed in gang violence in haiti. there has been a spike in kidnappings and instruction of property since the assassination of president jovenel moise. our correspondent has this. reporter: december of 2020 1,000 of haitians took to the streets to say they had had enough of kidnappings and violence. >> we will coordinate other sectors of society to mobilize, come together against gangs, insecurity, and regulation. reporter: fast-forward to 2022, another protest, this time organized by factory workers demanding a raise to keep up with rising prices. >> i cannot feel and i cannot kidnap people.

instead i work hard at the factory. what can we do? we cannot live. reporter: haiti is suffering from inflation and insecurity, with shootings, kidnappings, and rooms. commutes have become life-threatening. with 60% of the population living under the poverty line, and a power vacuum left by the july assassination of president jovenel moise, gangs are taking advantage of the situation to recruit new members. rebel groups have drawn up battle lines in the city center. gangs also control the main roads that link the country to dominican republic.r, the haiti is one of the poorest the former freh colony was straddled with that for over 100 years since its independence. researchers estimate that the country. between $20 billion to 30.

a-lister security freedom. meanwhile, devastating earthquake has added to haiti's hardship. the u.n. estimates that 43% of the population will be in need of humanitarian aid. mark: time for business. who better than? good evening. kate: good evening. mark: some energy companies are just think that they could bend to russia's demand to make payments in russian rubles. please explain. kate: is that of a of doing things. it would be opening about a euro and rubles account at gazprom's unit, making payments in euros and then having the bank convert them to russian currency and a second account. the german gas provider said it considered the permit scheme to be compliant with both sanctions law and the russian degree -- for our company and we were up as a whole, it is not possible to do without russian gas in the short-term. this would have a dramatic

consequence for our economy. it is understood that other energy companies in austria, hungary, and slovakia could do the same. european officials warned such a move could be in breach of use sanctions. this comes amid of further concerns. russia suspended deliveries to both poland and bgaria, citing the resal to pay in rubles if it follows suit for the res of the european bloc, it could be plunged into recession. poland and bulgaria say they are not currently anticipating gas shortages, with bulgaria's energy minister standing firm on his government's refusal to cede >> since the letter implies that if it is signed, it becomes a part of the existing contractcot it from -- perspective, there is not a sensible person that would sisign this.

kate: the u.s. economy and expectedly contracted in the first quarter of 2022. economists had forecasted a slower pace of expansion, but not the 1.4% drop, which bric the post-pandemic recovery. rising cases of the omicron variant, stunted economic activity at the start of the year, while russians were in ukraine has fueled the highest level of inflation in 40 years. most analysts are not expecting the u.s. to fall into recession, which is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth. that is because consumer here is the u.s. resident speaking earlier. >> you are seeing enormous growth in the country that was affected by everything from covid and liquid blockages that occurredlong the way. you always have to take a look and no -- no one is predicting a recession now. some are predicting there may be a recession in 2023.

kate: separately, joe biden said he was considering ways to reduce student at, but the proposals to forgive up to $50,000 worth of loans per student was not in the cards. more details on that could be announced in the coming weeks. let's look at the day's tradg action no. major european indices shrugged off energy concerns. we saw gains of just over 1% in london and frankfurt, just 1% here in paris. shares of total energy were up 3%, despite reporting a $4 billion hit links to its gas reserves in russia. willow street closed higher in a volatile week for u.s. stocks, the tech-heavy nasdaq outperforming, up 3%. those gains were in part pushed by the parent company of facebook, meta. shares were up 18% after it reported better-than-expected earnings. s&p 500 was up 2.5% on the close there.

the european central bank issued something of a maricopa for being off-base -- of a maricopa, for being of base with its forecasts. it said projections had become less accurate since the third quarter of 2021, when unexpected developments in energy prices, coupled with the effects of the post-covid reopening and global supply chain bottlenecks, led to unprecedented increases in consumer price inflation. in december the ecb predicted inflation in the eurozone would hit 4.1% in the first three months of the year. prices rose 6.1%, the largest uur in you see the projections since 1988. eurozone inflation then soared in march. the bank's's vice president said today that he thought the surge was very close to reaching its peak. there is now growing pressure on the ecb to act. >> this is the mandate of the central bank, price stability. so in theory, it should be under

you see the's side to deal with -- it should be on the ecb is excited to deal with and see how they can bring interest rates back to zero. unfortunately, there is a lot that both the central back in the government cannot control. i think they will try to do their best and negate the impact of the energy and food crisis on purchasing power. how they do that? vacant cap prices at the european level, -- they can cap prices at the european level. macron is not the most active pro-european policymakers in this area, trying to bring these measures that the european level and perhaps think of some pan-european regulation of prices and also physical subsidies that would come along with that. kate: the rest of my interview with him, and the focus on what is next for france's economy under emmanuel macron second mandate, is on the france 24

website. mark: i have already seen it, and it is well worth the watch. kate, thank you very much. let's cross the studio to catalina waiting for us. truth perfect. good evening. arete, is back on twitter? catalina: rumors exploded on social media, claiming that it will most reinstated donald trump on the platform. musk has been promising to promote free speech on the platform, so this may have been the moment when you were waiting for what we are here to confirm that at least for now, donald trump has not been reinstated on itter. a couple of things ouviewers should keep an eye on. you shouldn't fall for these fake trump-era comments that were created on twitter after this announcement, using the same profile picture we are used to seeing. this one for example from this user says -- i am back. thank you at you learn musk, you're an incredible human

being. another one from this account, it has the same caption. says, thank you @ musk, i will grant $2500 to every american that follows me and like the tweet above. and the same tweet from @reald onald truck. so just be aware, these are fake tweets. we know that donald trump's account was permanently suspended from twitter on january 8, following the capitol riots. given the announcements this week, donald trump told fox news he wouldn't return to twitter even if he was reinstated by iran must. so he is playing hard to get -- reinstated by elon musk. so he is playing hard to get. this seems surreal for many, especially when it unmasked publishes tweets like this. now i am going to buy a

mcdonald's effects of the ice cream machines. mark: is that real? reena: this is a real tweet today, mark. [laughter] you learn musk is teasing the twitter community following these announcements. mark: you couldn't make it up, could you? if you did, people would say it is too far-fetched. catalina: just to be clear, here is the real donald trump account on twitter, and we can confirm it remains suspended. so for the twitter users who fear donald trump's return, they can breathe a sigh of relief the use of the trump image on each of those accounts was -- dead center, which i think is a sign that it is fake i. wouldn't be surprised if it was the same person behind each of those accounts -- just speculation, but there is a concerted effort there to fake everybody. let's turn our attention on johnny depp, the actor, and his erstwhile partner amber heard. it is a defamation trial.

depp appealing against what was handed down to him in london. catalina: the defamation trial between the two archers has generated hundreds of headlines, that this week, heard's choice of makeup during her marriage became a talking point across social media, amid accusations that her attorney claims that she used to make up concealer that didn't exist at the time that they were married. . the makeup brand milani weighed on this claim after its product was cited as evidence, in a tiktok video with over one million lakhs and 4.6 million views. the caption -- let the record show that over correcting. launched in 2017. so what heard's lawyer said is that she didn't have bruises on her face. well, let me show you this -- well she shows the makeup pallet
