3:01 am
sentenced to life in prison. plus after weeks of tensions on this, how he site will look into what is the status quo and why to palestinians say it's being eroded and stephanie decker. jerusalem will have that story coming. ah, welcome to the bank on twitter board has unanimously decided to sell the company to elem mosque in the deal worth around $44000000000.00. now if the deal goes through, shareholders will be paid more than $54.00 per share. the share price rose almost 6 percent on the news of the deal, but questions remain as to how the billionaire will reform the social media giants . the company's chief executive told staff the future direction of the platform isn't clear at this stage. while musk simply tweeted yes, in response to the sale, an attachment to the tweet said that he wants to unlock twitters,
3:02 am
extraordinary potential, and make it a platform for free speech around the world. or public opinion has been split as to other mosques. takeover is a good idea. i just don't think it would be good if you like control. and just cuz he's a lot of money doesn't give all of our capitalism. this is america. and i'll be frankly honest, which i wish the best of luck. i think he'll turn it for better giving people more freedom of speech. maybe bringing my mad trump back to twitter. i think that will be nice. i like to hear what he has to say. i don't think that the one person that focus toward the platform, i think the people who have their own voice to be able to see how they feel. well, let's take a look at what led to the steel between the richest men in the world and the social networking giant. isla musk became twit, his largest shareholder in early april when he increased his stake in the company to 9.2 percent. 10 days later he offered to buy the entire company and $8044000000000.00 at a price of $54.20 per share. and at the time,
3:03 am
he said he changed twitter from a public to a private business to his board of directors. adopted them and even known as a poison pill, following the hostile takeover offer that was aimed at essentially preventing musk from accumulating more of its stock. the 50 year old bill in our updated his proposal last week, outlining that he could finance a cash purchase through loans. gabriel, amazon doug is in new york with moore and her boss got the deal over the line. well, essentially even mosque came up with the financing. that's what happened. i mean, it was 10 days ago. he made an all cash offer of $44000000000.00 to buy twitter. most people on wall street did not take that too seriously. and this is why, because even for ilan, musk who's worth more than 4 times that $44000000000.00, it would have been nearly impossible for him simply to write a check for $44000000000.00. and people on wall street knew that not impossible,
3:04 am
but quite difficult what he needed was financing. and in the last week or so, he has been quietly behind the scenes working with morgan stanley, the big bank to gather that financing. and he finally did it. i gathered several banks, lead by morgan stanley that are kicking in about $25000000000.00 of financing in various different forms of belongings and other sort of financing won't get into all the details. and then about $21000000000.00 that must himself is kicking in in equity financing. bottom line here is that once must people went to twitter and came to them with this. the more details of this offer, that's when reportedly the twitter board sat down on sunday late into the night sunday night into monday morning with musk officials and basically agreed to this deal because they knew there was the money there. the big question now is what
3:05 am
happens with twitter? what happens with the user experience for twitter? what kind of changes does must want to make to it. in a fried is the chief technology correspondent, u. s. news website, axles that she says absolute free speech will be virtually impossible to achieve in general, even though ilan has laid out this big free speech thing, it turns out to be really hard to remove protections, even some of the organizations and social media that have tried to rival twitter and say were in favor of free speech, find that free speech without rule is just chaos. so i think a lot of the rules will stay. i think that will probably see things start to shift more subtly though both as you like has the influence. but also i think people who strongly oppose that will start to leave twitter. other people will come in who are more in favor of it. so i'd expect a subtle shift starting when the deal closes. i think the real question comes in protections above and beyond what the law requires. but what it requires,
3:06 am
what it takes to have a decent conversation, tends to be protections that go above and beyond what the law might dictate. the, the russian forces have a tight critical infrastructure including railways, which ukraine says is to stop it from re supplying its troops on the front lines in the east. now the credit train station in vain was one of 5 struck by missiles in central and west, and ukraine already said these 5 people were killed. the governor of vin region says 2 towns who attacked their killing, an unspecified number of people. while russia's defense ministry says it destroyed an oil refinery in the criminal joke in central ukraine, along with fuel deputies. the long range missiles had what russia says were weapons and ammunition, deputies in the car key, reach him. this as russia pushes on with its eastern offensive, charles strafford reports now from slants internet sc. a ukrainian

owed on an anchor for full flying on to moscow. mister terrace is trying to build on previous turkish diplomatic efforts with a new piece initiative involving direct shuttle diplomacy. first in moscow, and then on to cave. he thinks that there is an opportunity now and will make the most of what we can. a lot of diplomacy is about, about timing, about finding out when is the right time. ah, to add to speak with a person to travel to a place to do certain things and, and he is going in the anticipation that there's a real opportunity that is now billing itself. and we'll see what we can make of it . even though the secretary general last week called for truce over orthodox easter, a call that fell on deaf ears, i call on russians and the ukrainians to silence the guns and forge a pass to safety. for so many at the media thrace, the secretary general continues to call for a cease far,
3:12 am
but that's very unlikely to happen. the ukrainians side don't want the conflict to become frozen with russian troops stationed inside their country. and after 2 months of war, moscow's made very limited gains. if, as a truce now, would be very hard for president putin to declare a victory. my lord, i asked rushes, deputy ambassador to the un, whether a cease fire was a possibility. we don't think that's a ceasefire is a good option right now, because the only the only advantage it will give it will give her a possibility for agreeing and forces to regroup. and to stage more provocations, like which i like, i say culture. so frankly, it's not up to me to decide, but i don't see any reasons in this right now. the conflict has cost many lives. parts of ukraine had been completely destroyed, living ruined buildings and mangled metal. but despite all this, the guns still seem unlikely to be silenced yet james bays al jazeera at the united

3:20 am
right to pray on the site. and the incursions are protected by israeli forces and seen by palestinians as a major provocation. what would take place in small groups and respectfully is now being done in large, larger groups, and more provocative, more defiant, and more humiliating for the muslim worshippers. and this is what it's all about. the alexa most compound or temple mount, as it's known to jews were certain ours are allocated during the week where non muslims can enter. but under long standing agreement between israel and jordan, which is the custodian of the site, only, muslims can pray there. however, over the years has been an increase in the number of jewish religious ultra nationalists entering the site, calling for the right to prayer and actively attempting prayers there. and that scene is a gradual erosion of the long agreed status quo. according to these law, mac walketh the jordanian religious trust that runs the site, the number of jewish religious ultra nationalists to access the site in the past
