this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm lauren taylor. this is the alger 0 news. i live from london. coming up, russia says it's ordered its troops to withdraw from hassan's city and made a ukrainian counter offensive. ki warns it could be a trap. control of congress hangs in the balance with the republicans set to take the house in the us mid terms. but the senate race is on a knife edge, unmet becomes the latest tech company to announce a mass lay offs cutting more than $11000.00 jobs in sport well cup champions, france name their squad to defend the title, but just 10 days before the tournament african champions senegal had proposed to be lost that main man's study of money because of injury. ah,

the russian military says its withdrawing its troops from a major battle ground in southern ukraine. and what would be a humility, humiliating set back for president vladimir putin. his forces for several weeks ukrainian forces have been advancing in the house on jan. fighting to retake territory, inch by inch. it's one of the 4 regions moscow annexed in september. now, russia's defense ministers ordered his troops to retreat from the western bank of the new pro river near the city house on and set up defenses on the eastern bank. as soon as the only regional capital russia has managed to seize during the invasion for your interest as having comprehensively assess the situation, i propose that we take up defensive position along the left bank of the disney pro river. i understand this is a very difficult decision both at the same time,

we will say most importantly, the lives of our troops and the overall combat effectiveness of our forces, whom it is futile to keep on the right bank in a restricted area. in addition, it will free up some forces and means they will be used for active operations, including offensive ones on other fronts. ma'am and val in moscow has more rushes announcement. the russian army is unable for the moment to defend the city of clara on. we know that they have been asking civilians to leave the place that has been going on for several weeks now. but there was no expectation here in russia about this will be followed by an army withdrawal from have san remember in the military strategy armies usually when they are defeated in a spot, they don't know ahead of time, but they are going to withdraw from any area until they have finished that with

their own. so, i mean, it's not clear. the picture is not clear for the moment whether that withdrawal has already taken place. or it is going to start from the statements here in moscow. it's going to start. but we don't know what is what is happening on the ground and the ukrainians are taking this very cautiously, fearing that there might be a drop, her son is the only capital. among those 4 years that has been occupied by the russian troops and russia, consider that this is not an occupation. they say it is a constitutionally, constitutionally an annexation of a land that belongs to russia. so that is very awkward here. going to be seen very awkwardly in the eyes of the russian public. this is a rational land protected by the constitution. the prussia has been preparing and adding to the number of the troops in order to, to defend this land. remember that russia doesn't to control all the region of control on the part of it,

and now they're going to leave us had begun that trivially and central ukraine is just returned from the house on what can you tell us about this? suppose a pullback? well we've also heard from russian general survey, so ok. and then he said that carson on the surrounding areas, it's not possible to supply them under the current conditions and that's why they were moving to the other side of the inside of the river. now he also said that they had information that the ukrainians intended to target the for the up river. now for days now, both sides have been accusing each other of wanting to build that down. in fact, both sides accused each other. i've damaging that down for a while. there was no electricity in watching her son after i suppose it strike against that done. now the ukrainians have reacted. do this to, to this news of the world with skepticism? no heard officials say the actions speak louder than words. currently, they say that russian troops remain in carson and further troops are being pulled

into the region. so they don't believe the russians. no one, the commanders in the south here has said that they haven't ruled out russia provocation and the creation of false impression. and that's what we're hearing from you cranes. although the russians are saying that they will be withdrawn to the east side of the river, the ukrainians are treating that with a great deal of skepticism. now we have been in carson, and we were with ukrainian troops as they were maintained his counter offensive. ah, this is how the battle for her song is being fought on martha lottery cruise targeting russian forces just kilometers away. they have the coordinates, it's a quick, 2 shots, and then they have to move go get and going good. we had to get out the way really quickly because the russians can locate where the artery was

fired from. so we have to move away before they return, fire crews can one to their targets from small commercial drones back where they are hidden away from russian drones. the can take a moment to rest, thought us, most of the narvie dominate the us. lovely retreating russians used all reserves, so they can only reach our front lines. but those one of us, he has a wife and child at home and says being away from them has been tough. thrown them . that situation is drones is complicated. they are flying always every day and every hour of the it was scary only as a beginning of morsel. and i would just do our job even. when's a fire back at us? we don't panic. we are used to war. awful poem of the weapons, sometimes twice as old, as the men who used them. this crew writes a name of their fallen on missiles. we're told the majority of times, the russians, 5 back quickly. this crew has lost friends with me, faith as a commander. this curious thing is to lose people. well,

every one here he is in the infantry, artillery and engineering brigades is carried to be under the enemy's artillery. fire from rushes, use everything they got. the crew stays out of sight and awaits orders and coordinates to move and fire was brushed. certainly this is a war of drones. in most cases, hardly fire adjustments are made from drones. bo small commercial ones and larger ones have made the different lank a man. it's just the front lines have moved quickly of late. these trenches will once facing the enemy, but so humble a bluish russians were close a few months before. but now the front line is moving jets and drones are always flying overheads. but for observation only, mostly it's russian drones. we don't see them, but they keep flying. life is basic in the trenches, but they're waiting here. they believe in a matter of time, they were retake her son. and if they do, it will be the defining moment of this will. as you've seen there,

this war is about artillery, about shelling missiles and drones. even if the russian troops move to the east side of that river, they can still strike her sun city. the city is well within the range of the artillery and missiles that can strike anywhere in the country as they have demonstrated, not view. the concern has been that blowing of that dam, and if that does blow, prison, savanski said it would cause the disaster. but it would also give a natural water barrier between the ukraine troops and the russian troops. this is going to be very embarrassing for russian president vladimir putin because for 4 months now, the officials from russia having come into course on saying that russia is here forever. saying that this is a part of russia. and in recent days, russian officials have been saying that this would be the decisive battle, likening it to the world war 2 battle of stalingrad, where approximately 2000000 people were killed. and now it looks like the

withdrawing. and it's militarily important is strategically important, because corsage is the gateway to the status is important for the fresh water supply of crimea, but also it can expose russian troops elsewhere in the country. now we will have to wait and see what actually happens if and when the ukrainian troops into the city. but like i said, the war is far from over. but this will be seen as a very, very embarrassing for russia and the ukrainians will be welcoming this and it will be seen as a victory for them if and when they take horse on city. i said very thank you very much indeed. or jeff holland key explains how ukraine is reacting to russia's withdrawal announcement. as indeed, if this news is all it purports to be, it would be a huge ukrainian france, the surrender of hassan by the russians, the only regional capital they've been able to take or occupied during the entirety of this war. it would put ukraine decisively on the front foot, but the government here in key is,

is being decidedly circumspect about all of this cautious, if not outright skeptical. they have watched in recent weeks as signs of men to the what is looked like a phased or planned or managed withdrawal by the russians from the east. the west bank, i beg your pardon, of the city to the east bank in the face of that building, ukrainian offensive coming down from the north. and they wondered whether perhaps their being lured into a trap. the ukrainian forces entering an apparently empty parasol to be set upon by hidden russian forces in street fighting or mercilessly pummeled from across the river on the east side. so the response so far from the government coming from a senior advisor to go to be let me kind of put, yeah, has been this ukraine does not pay attention to russian statements. its words and actions and actions differ. some rushing forces. he says, remain in san an additional russian men power is being brought in until the

ukrainian flag flies in her soul. he said it is too early to talk of a russian withdrawal adding to the sense of disarray around her. so the russian installed governor of the region that says his deputy has been killed in a car. crash. curious to moose off was highly visible on social media, giving regular updates about the frontline fighting and more recently about the evacuation of civilians. helgrin harris, russian defense and military analyst, you joins us live from moscow. thanks very much indeed for being with us. soon as we heard the ukrainians, the skeptical about this is just of a pull out by the question is, do you think the, the russian withdrew will actually happen? i believe. so the top russian military authorities said so publicly, the commanding general of the front lines in ukraine than the defense minister. so it comes from the very top, it seems to be genuine. that doesn't make much sense to announce that and make sure

you turn so apparently yes, it's happening. and actually it makes lots of military sense for the russians right now to withdraw from here. san and put the new pro river between them and the large contingent of ukrainian troops and distribute reserves. the other parts are preparing for possible new radian offensives and other parts of the front line in the coming months as winter comes in. and how much of a blazing is this to, to the russian kind of maryland her to russians image on this will. well, it's a terrible blow actually makes no sense. and it made military sense before. and there are reports that russian generals were pressing. the cram one to do to withdraw from the care sunbridge head. but politically, this is a disaster, and it's a developing guys, a disaster in russian sales. so called beach re arctic internet chat and telegram

channels. another outlets a so politically, it's very embarrassing government military, it makes sense. and that's why most likely russian generals pressed through such a decision. i mean, when you see it in a decisive moment in this conflict on not maybe the size of one of the decisive moments. there was quite a number of them. this is not a russian defeat. since they apparently will be withdrawing in an organized manner, ukrainians will be advancing, very cautious. we're afraid of some kind of russian trickery. but the decisive moments may come when the winter will freeze the sea of dirt right now and go the entire ukraine and russian regions around it. and when the sco cobra ends with frost, turning this dirt into concrete kind of thing and the tanks and trucks can move

easily again through fields and dirt roads, then there's going to be the real action coming, which may be decisive in this war. i believe the premiums will be poised for massive offense if they'll try at least to do that and push the russians really hard out of your brain a bit that we mentioned a curious to myself and his death. what did you make of that? well, he was an important figure, he was your korean local official, and businessman and influence are they are in your song. and he turned coat as the russians went in and joined the russian administration of her son and his a blow again. 2 of the russians who have been promoting such people on the top ukrainian officials are agreeing in officials,

encouraging them to others to turn cold. and his death is not also good news for the russian cause i thank you very much indeed tackle this interesting. thank you. coming up on the news of london with thousands of young men on so the congress as military's call to join the fight against a major rebel groups brewing diplomatic route between france and italy as a who should taken hundreds of asylum seekers stuck on a rescue ship and world cup champions, france announced the squad to the heading to cut off to defend the title the and so take you now straight to the white house where the president biden is about to speak. listening. well, we had an election yesterday and it was a good day,

i think for democracy. and i think there's a good day for america. shooting that a little hoarse. our democracy has been tested in recent years, but with their votes, american people has spoken improve. once again, that democracy is who we are, the states across the country, i saw record voter turnout and the heart and soul of our democracy. the voters poll workers, election officials, they did their job and they fulfilled their duty. and apparently without much interference at all. so it looks like, and that's a testament, i think, to the american people. while we don't know all the results, yet, least i don't know them all yet. here's what we do now. while the press in the pundents are predicting a giant red wave, it didn't happen. and i know you were somewhat miffed by my my

obsession optimism. but i felt good during the whole process. i thought were going to do fine while any seat loss is painful. some good democrats didn't. when the last night, democrats had a strong name and we lost few receipts in house representatives than the democratic president, 1st, mid term election the last 40 years. and we had the best make terms for governors since 1986. and another thing that we know is that voters spoke clearly about their concerns. about rating cost, the rising cost that there, and then the need to get information down there. still a lot of people hurting. they're very concerned about crime and public safety. and they sent a cleared unmistakable message that they want to preserve our democracy and protect the right to choose in this country. and i especially want to thank the young people, this nation who i'm told i haven't seen the numbers voted historic numbers again. and just as they did 2 years ago and they voted and continue addressing the crime

crisis, gun violence, their personal rights and freedoms, and a student debt relief. last night i was pleased to call maxwell frost 25 year old who got elected, i guess the youngest men ever elected the united states congress. and i told him that he told me that i was 1st elected the 2nd youngest person ever like united states senate 29 and i have no doubt he's also incredible start. and what i'm sure will be a long distinguished career company's president. and they say jo binds out in the outer office. i don't want to say joe who but the voters raso clear that they are still frustrated. i get it. i understand it's been really tough, few years this country for so many people. when i came to office, we inherited a nation with pandemic, rage in an economy that was really and we acted quickly and bawling,

to vaccinate the country, and to create a stable and sustained growth in our economy. long term investment to rebuild america itself. the roads are bridges, our ports are airports, clean water systems, high speed internet, and we're just getting started. the interesting thing is that this is all going to really come into clear view for people in the month and the month of january, february, march of next year is just getting underway. hey, so i'm optimistic about how the public could even be more embracing. what we've done, historic investments are leading companies to invest literally hundreds of billions of dollars combined to build semiconductor factories and other advance manufacturing here in america. it's going to create tens of thousands of good paying jobs. and by the way, a significant number of those jobs are going to be jobs that pay our average a $12627000.00. you don't need a college degree to get those jobs. they were dealing with global inflation as a result of a panoramic importance or in ukraine. we're also handle it better than most other

advanced nations in the world. we're lowering gas prices. we're looking. we're taking on powerful interest, lower prescription drug cost and health insurance premiums in energy bills. after 20 months of hard work, the pandemic no longer controls our lives are still a concern no longer controls our lives. are economic policies created and record 10000000 new jobs since i came in, the office unemployment rate is down from 6.4 when i was sworn into 3.7 percent near a 50 year low. and we've done all this while lowering the federal deficit in the 2 years by $1.00 trillion dollars. let me say it again, $1.00 trillion dollars. no administration has ever cut the deficit that much in reducing the depth is one of the best things we can do to lower inflation. but while we've made real progress as a nation, and i know it's hard for folks to see that project that progress in their everyday

lives. and it's hard to see the results from actions that we took go while we have to implement what we've done. but i believe we took the right steps for the country and for the american people. in fact, if you look at the polls, overwhelming majority, i don't look much anymore because i'm not quite sure how to read them any more. i hope you are uncertain as well. but the overwhelming majority of american people support the elementary. my economic agenda from rebuilding americas roads and bridges to lauren, prescription drug cost, historic investment and tax tackling the climate crisis to making sure that large corporations begin to pay their fair share and taxes i'm competing. these policies are working that are on the right path and we need to stick with them. all these initiatives take hold as they do from lead pipes be removed from schools and holmes to new factories, be building communities with researches,

american manufacturing. it's already created by the way, 700000 brand new manufacturing jobs. you've heard me say it a nauseum. i don't know where it's written. it says we can't be the manufacturing capital of the world. we are now exporting product, not jobs around the world. people across the country are going to see even more clearly the positive effects on their day to day lives. but i still understand why they're hurting right now. so many people are concerned, as i have throughout my career and we continue to work across the aisle to deliver for the american people. and it's not always easy, but we did the 1st term. now be surprised, a lot of people that we signed over $210.00 bipartisan laws since i become president and were revitalized and american manufacturing gun safety. we did it together and dozens of laws positively impacting on our veterans. and let me say this regardless, regardless of what the final tally of these elections show,

and there's still some counting going on. i'm prepared to work and my republican colleagues, the american people, are made clear. i think that they expect republicans to be prepared to work with me as well. in your foreign policy, i hope will continue this bipartisan approach of confronting rushes, aggression ukraine. when i return from the g 20 meetings in indonesia with other world leaders, i'm going to invite the leaders of both political parties as i've done the past and my foreign trips to the white house and discuss how we can work together. for the remainder of this year and in the next congress to advance economic and national security priorities of the united states. and i'm open to any good ideas. i want to be very clear. i'm not going to support any republican fossil that's going to make inflation worse. for example, the voters don't want to pay higher prescription costs for drugs. we cut that now we're going to kick into gear next year, next, calendar year. and i'm not going to walk away from the start commitments we just

made to take on the climate crisis. they're not compromised, malicious to me. and i won't let it happen. the voters don't want more taxes for the super tax cuts for super wealthy and biggest corporations. and i'm going to continue to focus on cost cutting for working and no class families and building economies in the bottom up in the middle. i know you're tired, hear me say that, but i genuinely mean it. that's what makes america grow the wealthy do very well when the middle class is doing well and the tor have away up. and while continue to bring down the federal deficit. now as we look at tax because we should be looking at tax cuts for working people and middle class people, not the very wealthy verifying. i look guy, if you can be a multi millionaire, that's great, just just pick your fair share. that's all. that's all just pay your fair share. like goes $55.00 corporations in 2000 made $40000000000.00. you pay a penny in federal taxes. it's not right. everybody has an obligation. so now they

have to pay a staggered 15 percent. you all pay more than that new taxes. so i'm going to keep my commitment that no one, no one or less than $400000.00 a year. and that's a lot of money right? come from, are going to see their federal taxes go up. and i want to be very clear under no circumstances, while i support the proposal, put forward by senator johnson and the senate from down in florida to cut or make fundamental changed and social security, medicare. that's not on the table. i will not do that. i will veto any attempt to pass a national ban in abortion, but i'm ready to compromise the republicans where it makes sense and many other issues. and i'll always put the needs and interests in american people 1st. so let me close this. and this election season, the american people made it clear. they don't want every day going forward to be a constant political battle. there's too much that of that going on. there's too

much we have to do in the future. america is too promising to promise the me trapped in endless political warfare. and i really mean you've heard me say time and again for the last 20 months or so. i am so optimistic about the prospects for america. we need to be look into the future, not fixated on the past, and that the future is bright as can be. we were the only nation, the world's come out of every crisis stronger than we went into the crisis. and that's a fact. i mean, i mean, literally mean we've come out stronger than we've gone in and i've never been more optimistic about america's future day. you know, i was particularly because of all the young people, i talked about 80 to 30. they're showing up to the best educated generation american history, the least prejudiced generation, american history, the most engaged aeration, american history in the most involved loan. after

a long campaign season, i still believe it always have. this is a great nation and we're great people. and it's never been a good bed to bed against america. never been a good bet to bed against america. there's nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. if we work together, we just need to remember who the hell we are, where the united states of america, the united states, america is nothing beyond our capacity. and i'm pretty well convinced that we're going to be able to get a lot done. and i've been given a list of 10 people that i'm supposed to call on. and you're all supposed to ask me one question. i'm sure you'll ask me more. and so let me start off with a list. i've been given. seek miller associated press. spread to the as you mentioned, come we never hold you guys the same stand you hold us to, but anyway, go ahead. well,

so you mentioned that americans are frustrated and in fact 75 percent of voters say the country is heading into the wrong direction despite the results of last night. what the next 2 years you intend to do differently to change people's opinion of the direction of the country, particularly as you come into play, to run for president 2020 for nothing because they're just finding out what we're doing. the more they know about what we're doing, the more support through, you know, anybody who wants us to get rid of the change we made on prescription drug prices and raise prices again. you know, anybody wants us to walk away from building those roads and bridges. and internet and so on. i don't, i don't know. i think that the problem is the major piece of legislation we've passed some of bipartisan takes time to be recognized. for example, you got, you got over a trillion dollars worth of infrastructure money. but not that many space and putting the ground is taking time. for example, i was on the phone congratulating

a california and recently, and then someone in up in scranton, pennsylvania. congressman got like he said, can you help us make sure we are able to have high speed rail, so red river rail service from scratch to new york, new york city. so yeah, we can, we can 1st of all, make it a lot easier. take a lot of vehicles off the road and we have more money in the, in the plot. now already we've already out there. we voted for the entire money we spent the track to begin with. and so the same way, for example, i talked about through the campaign that we're going to limit the cost of insulin for seniors to, to $35.00 a month or said a $400.00 a month. well, it doesn't take effect till next year. so there's a lot of things that are just starting to kick in and the same way with what we've done in terms of the environmental stuff that takes time to get it move. and so i'm not going to change a matter of fact. you know,

there's some things i want to change and add to for example, we've had passed the most bipartisan, we pass the most extensive gun legislation and you know, rational gun policy in 30 years and, but we didn't ban solve and i'm going to banish all weapons are going to try like the devil, so i'm not going to change the direction. i said i ran for 3 reasons. i'm going to continue to stay. where am i? no, i fully understand the legitimate concern that what i'm saying is wrong. ok. one is that i said we're going to restore the soul. the country began to treat each other with decency honor and integrity and started to happen. people are the conversations are becoming more normal, becoming more more how can i say a decent 2nd thing i said was i want to build a country for the middle out the bottom up and that way everybody does fine. i'm tired of trickle down. not a whole lot trickles down, will trickle down to hard work and folks. the 3rd thing i know is still very hard.

and we do everything in my power to see to the united country. it's hard to sustain yourself as a leading democracy in the world. if you can't judge, can generate a community. so i'm not going to change anything in the fundamental way. different topic which president russia today, claim that he had evacuated at reacting to the midterm results so far. he said it was a good day for democracy. there's been a record to turn out. you said the giant redway that had been predicted republicans had not happened. he did acknowledge that voters had spoken clearly about their concerns, including inflation. voters was still frustrated to acknowledge that there were some verses who were not happy with the way things were going. and he promised that he would continue the bipartisan approach soon as he continues. if the, depending on what happens in terms of the results to acknowledge the would have to work with the republican one way or the other. let's speak to our white house

correspondent, kimberly how kit. kimberly was a conciliatory tone there from president barton presumed because he realizes he's going to be stuck if he doesn't work with republicans. yeah, the question now becomes whether the republicans are going to take that same tone. and there is this realization that seems to be thinking in and washington that neither side is going to be able to accomplish very much for the next 2 years if they don't work together. because the reality is, even if republicans have a narrow lead and do ultimately capture control of the house of representatives, it's going to be with such a narrow majority that in order to get any sort of legislation done, it's going to have to be in a bipartisan way and so you hear the president talking there and laying out his agenda items normally saying look at the people have spoken and they've spoken an overwhelming numbers. acknowledging that this is one of the best mid terms in

modern history for any president in decades. but also acknowledging that really this is something bit a has vindicated the present in terms of his legislative agenda that the people may be unhappy with his personal i am in carrying out of the yeah, legislative agenda, if you will. his approval ratings are still in disapproval. is 54 percent, didn't really talk about that too much, but he didn't acknowledge that. for the most part, people like what he's trying to accomplish. attack climate change. i wrote kado, codify a woman's right to choose or protect abortion rights, and even confront gun safety in america. but he also added on this is very important. the 2 things get dressed 1st as top priorities were actually priorities of the republican party and tackling inflation and also crime. so the fact that he's lumped these together is significant because what it says is the president is

listening to the people, not just democrats, but also republicans. and i think that this indicates the president feels optimism, as he often does not just about his next 2 years, but what he thinks he can accomplish for all americans. kimberly thank you for the moment. so just want to recap on some of the figures that we've had to the midterm elections of turned into a breathtaking the close battle for control of congress for the democratic party defying expectations of a major victory for the republicans. the so called red wave is turned out to be more of a ripple. republicans are still expected to take control of the house of representatives is kimberly suggested, but by a smaller margin than expected. the senate is still a toss up. the republicans currently have 49 seats and the democrats, 48. all eyes are on the battleground, states of arizona and nevada, and georgia, which is going to run off in december. and it was a great night for candidates, backed by donald trump, many of whom support his false allegations at the 2020 presidential election was

rigged. they've only not stop one high profile when the so far. j. d vance, securing a senate seat in ohio. one of the upsets for trump candidate was the swing state of pennsylvania, which was a key senate win for the democrats, john freshman beach republican instead of doctor mate o's. despite having suffered a stroke in may days before the primary and at least 3 of the seats, republicans picked up in the house, representatives were in florida. state governor rhonda santas also won a landslide victory for the feuding speculation that he launch a presidential bid for 2024. so kimberly tells us bit more about the kind of the, the big picture for these elections and, but some of those tighter races. so picking up off of what you've talked about there with respect to the florida victory, it really does signal kind of the end to the chances of donald trump running in

2024. the former president had intimated there would be a big announcement. so next week, and we have to watch carefully to see if that is still going to be the case, given the fact that most of the candidates he endorsed did not perform well, are under performed significantly. and so as a result, all eyes are really now on the florida governor randa santas, who really did a overwhelmingly well in his state. he's really now seen as the front runner and perhaps the new leader of the republican party. what the overall indications are is that there was an overwhelming rejection of the american people of the so called maga, crowder, make america great again, crowd which tends to be the more extreme, right leaning i, faction, of the republican party. as you heard the president talking there as well, saying, and sort of intimating that, that americans have really spoken, that this is not what they want, but there is

a future of the republican party. a just has a different look in a different makeup. and so i think that this is important to acknowledge to the u. s. president joe biden says he is intended to run 2024. we always expected that it may be against us, former us president donald trump, but now it's very clear that when it comes to the republican contest, it's now a wide open race for who may be leading the party if we have for that contest. so really, this is a very much unexpected and they think one more important point to take from all of this. you heard the u. s. president joe biden, talking about as there is the fact that young people under the age of 30, the so called gen z generation, showed up and overwhelming numbers. and that was a generation that really wasn't listened to in the polls in advance of this. and they think they've made their voice is heard, and they'll be listen to a lot more moving forward. can be how can thank you very much. indeed. the tech

john meto, which ends facebook, instagram and whatsapp has announced the largest job cuts in its 18 year history. $11000.00 people, that's 13 percent of its workforce will lose their jobs in one of the years. biggest lay offs. the cops come days after twitches new owner, the billionaire businessman in on mosque fod, around 50 percent of the social media. john's 7 half 1000 employees. although he has since tried to hire some of them back and it's not just social media. and last week, the ride hailing app, lyft said it was laying off 13 percent of its workforce, maybe 700 people. and the online payments drawn stripe is hiring 14 percent of its workers affecting around $1100.00 people after hiring aggressively to meet demand during the pandemic, se matters, feo masika said he had expected grades to continue, but he's not admitted. he got this wrong with advertise is pulling out and economic instability. revenue is lower than expected. walk a few roy where is an academic and author of after the fact the truth about fake

news. he joins us not from bristol. thanks very much. indeed for being with us. so 11000 people being laid off by metro. you surprised by the scale of it? i'm a little taken aback by the scale. yes, i think those of us been following facebook method this year. i've seen that the company's been having a very challenging year, and they've had a huge amount of wiped off their stock price. and their income from advertising is much lower than expected. so we knew something like this was coming. i think the important thing is also, if you look at the problems that twitter is also having around advertising revenue and better receive it, that's kind of a problem in this overall model. but in a way, it's been a sort of ticking time bomb coming for a while. that actually you formally block the ads, i block the ads, many of the view as block the ads. and so advertising funded platforms don't really have a very strong foundation,

especially when you have shareholders to keep happy. and what do i mean super difficult to measure admitted hiring to fostering the pandemic? but what about, what about his special metaphors? is that something he's going to in the long run have to, to give up what you reckon? i think people have been trying to create with technology, this kind of separate world for a very long time, almost as long as has been an internet. and in the past, it's really never been very successful way of looking at the internet. in fact, as the internet has moved forward. and what we've seen is that, you know, things like smartphones of, hey, help us to kind of integrate and you know, technological online, live into our everyday lives and, and actually, you know, matter and it's products have helped us to do that. so, to me, it's just very strange and a little bit anomalous that, you know, mark burge is betting so heavily on this, on this method concept. get this idea of having a kind of separate online life. even if it's built from things that you, you know, that are part of your life in some ways,

it doesn't seem to work out well and it's not like that or other products. and so i'm, i'm skeptical. i mean, you mentioned when talking about switch around measure the problem with controlling advertising and kind of the business model. if you like, where do you see this heading with these various tech companies? do you, do you see many of them having to close in the end? what do you think they'll just adapt and change the way they they found themselves? well, i think none of these companies are too big to fail. and i mean, on the other hand, the ones that are dominant, google's, the matters, the trick is tend to be the ones that have already adopted that, that isn't saved. and i did new features and kind of listened to some extent to their, to their uses in the past. so very, very good at adaptation. they have a record of adaptation. but at the same time, they definitely isn't going to be a restoration of the things we know that they know that they've been doing that. i can't imagine all the advertising going back to meta, going back patricia and saying ok,

the rough patches over. now let's go back to how, how things were before. i think that would be people who kind of want that but you know, research is me in, in the field. know that that's basically an impossibility exactly what they do know remains to be seen. but it's definitely definitely a very uncertain future. marcus gilroy where thank you very much and have doctors thousands of people in greece have taken part in a general strike against the rising cost of living. public schools were shot and flights and public transport suffered severe disruptions. unions demanding lower taxes and an increase to the minimum wage. inflation hit 12 percent in september, the highest in 2 decades. fraud says it's unacceptable that italy's new far right government refused to allow several migrant rescue ships to dock for vessels carrying asylum seekers were initially denied permission to come to shore in sicily,

3 were later allowed to dock and diss and bark passengers. but the 4th ship with 234 people on board, is on its way to france. instead. 2030 reports from the sicilian fort of catania. the humanity, one rescue ship was still import wednesday. but without its passengers, after climbed down the italian government, 250 people, mostly africans were finally allowed to disembark from the boat and a 2nd vessel. the job rents. after being stranded in the sicilian port of cataneo, in saturday. until tuesday, the italian government said they were not vulnerable enough to enter the country. but late in the evening, they were unexpectedly allowed to leave. it's a victory for human rights campaigners and the rescue ship's captains who had refused to sail away with them on board. in this case, the victory that we showed that the right is on our site, that we're not doing something illegal. and that this decrease which was, which was brought against stuff was illegal. and that these actions in the last 14

days were not correct. the prime minister, georgia maloney came to power on a promise to crack down hard on a legal migration. neither she nor any government minister has explained the reasons behind the about turn. but it's believed internal and external pressure came to bear. we are in on the edge and i think the government is moving on a very complicated path, respecting d, e. u. not upsetting to you, the you of the same time trying to do what it was water for people aboard the humanity. one who started hunger strike in a desperate bid to be admitted to the country. the question now is will the government abandon its tough stance or approach it in a different way? the italian government hard line stand, may have kept it, support is happy, but in reality it's crackdown policy couldn't work legally. it's been widely criticized for denying rights and compassion to people who was simply seeking

a safer better life. these people were allowed intercity sometime ago. they're learning italian in order to better assimilate into the community. those that have made the long and dangerous journey to italy, or cross section of asylum seekers. refugees and migrants, but all have one thing in common. they want a better life. he behemoth is from guinea. his trip in a small boat across the mediterranean 6 years ago was risky, but not as dangerous as some now speak, excellent, italian, and his grateful to italy. but has concerns put us on a more than one cup of some of that kind of help. people like me, i'm not really sure what the current government doesn't help and makes life difficult. it's not right happy in for some, but looking out at the central mediterranean where more than 20000 people have drowned making the perilous journey. you wonder how many more victims will the crew sees a winter claim?

tony berkeley al jazeera catania sicily, the french for the dominion my cause announced the end of his country's defense mission in africa. declaration came in a wide ranging speech, a naval base and 2 long french military personnel have been working against on groups in africa, the higher region as part of operation back on since 2014. but french. what is a face? growing hostility from some are see the most ineffective this year. my whole poor troops out of molly when relation found with the countries military louis for these 9 people have been killed in an attack. and many in the northeast of democratic republic of congo, non group called the allied democratic forces has been blamed for the violence on tuesday night. meanwhile, the d. r. c's army says more than 3000 people have responded to call by president felix chickadee. volunteers to felt to help fight another group m 23.

regional forces arriving here. there's a growing boy from campaigners in foreign policy will not be the solution to congress problem. as in 23 rebels make advances. patients has run thin with un peacekeepers. they've been here for more than 20 years. people burned some of their vehicles in a convoy passing near the eastern city of gamer. last week. he protested in goma and kinshasa in recent months against wonder and uganda. they blamed for decades of military aggression and against the peacekeepers. they blamed for failing to protect them. kenya says it's now sending troops to join the conflict. only about 60 of arrived. it's the latest country to send soldiers to congo under the banner of a new east african regional force. these activists say it won't help. they've raised money and bought food for congos soldiers, who are often short supplied, accept

a se depressing un peacekeepers at east african community forces to pity the countries in the east african community or the same countries already aggressive. congo, we disagree with the presence of these east african community forces. you see that we over the congress army and nothing else. the decades of conflicts have driven tens of thousands of young men to join armed groups. many fighters of been demobilized by the government in the un congress army says they're not among the new recruits. down to says young. this is the argument from our enemies trying to destroy the image of these recruits. none of them are coming from the group. all those from the groups are in containment in another camp. none of them hear me loud . congos ami defeated the m 23 rebels 9 years ago when it had supplies in support from the government and the un. people here waiting to see if

it can do it again. malcolm web al jazeera, goma democratic republic of congo, have now his job with the sport and the count down to the well cup. ah, thanks, lauren. we're with just 10 days to go on. so a world cup defending champions france have named the $25.00 man squad, heading to cattle. olivia's years been selected, having bid on great form for ac, milan, and france recently. he's just to go shy of terry on res, all time. national scoring record of 51 goals. joining him is belinda winner carrying bens emma, as well as kilian boppy, france. open the defense of that title against australia on november the 20 seconds . meanwhile, the whales, well cut scott has also been announced the well sure appearing at the tournament for the 1st time since 1958 all time. so top scorer garrath by all will captain the welsh manager rob page will also have the likes of joe allen to call upon but both

players have struggled with injuries in the last few months. potentially though huge setback has senegal. it's been reported their main man. sadie money is out of the tournaments, the senegalese football association. the yet to confirm his attendance after the 2 time african play of the air took a knock to his chin while playing for buying music on choose day german cob, say he'll miss their next league game and undergo further examinations in the coming days. the forward couldn't continued to replace 20 minutes into match. sure . well another well cup team camry and have been playing their final game before heading to cats are nicholas hack is in jo, one day where the team was given a colorful send off from fans. oh, this is much more than a send off, a feels like a celebration, hearing from a defense that toby had never seen this statement. so this is

a country that have posted the african nations just in general. when synagogue now been using santa go up saw jill money injuries the people here. what are the found here? told me that this is a disappointment, not just hor synagogue, but for the entire continent because he is the best player in africa. but there is hope that either the lions, the indomitable lines or whatever, or the lines of to rank up as their notes. and then a goal will be able to break the record and go beyond the quarter finals and did a celebrate the world come. it feels like it has already started and some great pitches that from your own day. but the defining images of well cuts often captured by photographers sent by newspapers, websites, and agencies, the biggest archive those photos in the world is held by getty images in london.

and as harry force it found out those pictures a powerfully evocative ah we're here in counting town and east london amid the industrial estates and the storage centers. at the heart of it all is the getty images archive and way here to meet its boss, mathew button happens to be a football fan, and we're on the hunt for some world cut treasure map. be nice to meet you for not having to go. so this is the largest commercial archive in the world, 80000000 bits of gloss, paper, plastic, otherwise known as we get him in his archive. wow. and let's see what we can find in terms of the very 1st of a what a k. so this is woke up, the early woke up for the he says he to $38.00. so nearer guar i will be in here

somewhere. some of this is a bit grainy because oversee this was from new spaces time. people weren't really sending photographers, you know, from europe. i mean, that's a great show. it really is a start. the final is that they are fernandez, project share, and texas garden, the celebration their victory. so it can't be in an archive in england without talking about $966.00, it solar and into our memories. the, that's the iconic show, a composition which is actually perfect and allow for nearby. so, you know, with our teeth and the light on his face in the car pin shot. aside from the action on the pitch, there is some pretty standard images around the whole event, right? sure, i love is pele training in the rain. that is fantastic. sorry, early sir, the rest of the squad, so i'm not doing that. this is so kristen. but this is a young fan just really after an all to grow. yeah, and it's quite says, you know,

as we know, probably was into core early on. so didn't the impact of people so that he's still the autograph book? absolutely. and they wonder who that, that go, whether he still got that from the found some others here. i'm in straight away, the eyes drawn to something that the referee didn't see on the day. some of the commentators didn't say on the day, but it's pretty clearly in that picture. it's such an iconic picture. married on his hand of god. it just shows you know, capturing the decisive moment and just clicking that shot the, just that the right fine. one of my key memories from childhood is this one from 1990. again, like marathon, i apologize, opinion, but a genius of a football player and you really always held this honestly, he'd got a yellow cut. it really not from the final, you know, whether england we're going to get to the final it's not to come up says because

optimize, you know, and everything goes digital. so this is where we need to be to, to check out all the, the more recent low cost, probably thinking of it in the down, you know, this amazing football. yeah. having this moment to have math and again it's, it's back to us if moment just having the presence of mind because obviously lots of other stuff going on at the time. and in be very easy to, you know, be focusing on whatever. and then suddenly it's all know that somebody else is going to say, i think we've got to have in the back of the head sometimes. and in terms of the historical nature of the defeat by germany, brazil in 2014. and they were going to a $71.00 humiliating defeat in their own stadium. you could say you'd need a montage of those 7 goals to tell that story. but one shot tells that story is always the iconic chart from each woke up. and you can argue what that is may be

from, from the last whoa cop. maybe pull, pope, shot piece will pick. he has it. it's not just the competition, but the lawyer think everything about it is almost as i said, sir papa, can you experiment? can you look up that year, so sit out in the coaches. know what he's in the game. is that sir? as close your personal favorite. that decisive moment. all right that so you're welcome news for now it's back to lauren and london. minch with more days. news thanks for watching i for now. ah ah
