present biden has a u. s. midterm vote as a good day for democracy, but it's still unclear who will control congress. ah, you watching al jazeera alive from de. how with me, funny back people also ahead. russia says it's ordered its troops to withdraw from the ukrainian city of care song. but keith cautions, it may be a set up. facebook's parent company is laying off more than 11000 people in the most significant jobs caught in its history. and a brewing diplomatic route between france and italy over who should take in hundreds of asylum seekers stuck on a rescue ship. us present. joe biden has called the midterm

a good day for democracy. this comes as declared poll results, defies a projected so called red wave fight and says he is willing to work with the republicans as control of congress hangs in the balance. the republican victories are of a smaller margin than predicted, but they're likely to control the house of representatives. while the press to the opponents were predicting a giant red wave, it didn't happen. and i know you were somewhat miffed by my, my obsession optimism. but i feel good through the whole process. i thought were going to do fine. well, any seat last is painful. some good democrats didn't. when the last night, democrats had a strong name. and we lost few receipts from house representatives than the democratic prisons 1st, mid term election, the last 40 years. and we had the best midterm for governors since 1986. and another thing that we know is that voters are spoke clearly about their

concerns about raising cost for the rising cost that there and the need to get inflation down on. let's take a look at the latest figures. every publican party is in the lead 4 seats in the house of representatives, but as i said by a small in march and then forecast. but the senate is still a toss up. the republicans currently have 49 seats and the democrats 48. all eyes on the battle ground fates have arizona, and nevada. georgia will hold a runoff in the senate race in december. that's cost to my cana live at the white house for is mike present, biden's pitying this as a victory, even though republicans are still likely to win the house and possibly even a senate his indeed folly, the president making very clear his basic message saying to the american people, we hear you clearly acknowledging that what these results do indicate as well as a growing impatience among both his,

with the ongoing political rancor. with this in mind, president vidal reached a hand across the aisle, pledging to work with republicans. should they gain control of the house? something that results indicate is a possibility. it is a possibility to that they could control gain control of the senate, which would make it very difficult for president biden to put through his agenda in the remaining 2 years that he will be in power, if not standing for reelection. but at the same time, president biden also made very clear his red lines that would be no compromise on baffling climate change. he said that would be no compromise on opposing attempts to codify the abortion laws that the supreme court decision has virtually reinstated in many states. also, he said there would be no co come for a compromise whatsoever on his administration's intention to continue to tax the wealthy and to reduce the tax burden on the middle class. so

a very strong message from president biden, the about volvo, acknowledging the anger and impatience of the american voter at what has become or appears to be a dysfunctional political system in recent years. and where are we, mike, in terms of the races that are still too close to call nevada, arizona is too close to called fail georgia heading for a run off in december. yes and here, i mean those 3 senate seats are actually critical with the parties locked the tie at present before these midterm elections. the democrats had 50 seats in the 100 seats senate and they had control by virtue of the fact that the vice president has a costing vote in any. and there were many points of division between members. but if you lose these 3 seats, and then that balance within the senate goes to the republicans. but as you say, the race is so incredibly tight there and it will come down to december. the 6th,

in all likelihood, which is when that runoff election will be held in georgia, which is likely to produce one of the parties with control of the senate, just as it did in run off elections back in 2020. when the democrats, in fact, sees control of the senate at the very last moment in that run of elections in georgia. so it's a critical phase now in terms of these remaining senate seats. also, of course, the better for the house that is still far from completed and either party appearing certain to get to that figure of 218, which would give them a job. and majority, so obviously a lot to unravel and to watch in the days and weeks possibly ahead. indeed, mike, thank you very much for that. my can live there at the white house. now speak to not a nyak who's president of the center for american progress action fund. he's joining us from washington. d. c. very good to have you with us. has you heard there from

a reporter? it's joe, too early to call the house too early to call the senate even have these results that we have now you think, affirmed the work of the white house in the last 2 years as president biden has said, is this a vindication for what they've done in the past 2 years. absolutely. i think both, you know, people may not be happy with everything that's going on, but they feel good about the effort the president is making and some of the successes. and just as importantly, this selection is really a repudiation of republicans that you know, that there was a choice in the selection. and when americans were presented with the alternative, they said we're not interested. right? and but how did the democrats manage to avoid the big red wave that was predicted? what did the poles get wrong? well, i mean the polls, terry wrong. i think that we'll be talking about that for months. but in a very simple sense, midterms are almost always

a referendum on the precedence. and i think what president biden and democrats in congress did right, is they put my, the republicans on the ballot this year. and so that this mid term election, it became a choice. and once mega republicans were on the ballot, people were turning out and really record numbers. you know, we saw his story turn out for a midterm election in the united states. that doesn't usually happen. and the reason it happened is, a lot of americans are very scared about what micro republicans would do from their own power, whether it's on abortion, whether it's the attack or democracy, whether it's privatizing or social security and medicare. and that was really a motivating factor. we saw people who don't, as you show up in a midterm, actually come out and it changed the outcome of the election. now, democrats performed better than expected, but could still lose one or both chambers of congress present biden. in his speech earlier admitted that americans are frustrated. what methods do you think he and

the democrats should focus on now for 2024. what should they look to do differently? i think the key thing is that democrats in terms of buying had a significant amount of success legislatively over the last 2 years. but the american people haven't, they don't know about the successes and perhaps more importantly, they don't actually feel them yet. right. the inflation reduction can act as in august. it hasn't totally taken of that yet. so you're going to few seniors have a prescription drug prices kept your insulin, kept at $35.00. i think it's really important as we headed to the new year and to 2024 democrats. really focus on implementing these bills, making sure that people hear about them and they think, and we feel that we see this in american politics when policies take hold. the

american people are usually really supportive of them and don't want them taken away. and at this point, most be american people haven't heard about what democrats and president biden have done. now, where does this leave naveen? where does this leave? very probably can party. we've seen a number of trump back candidates lose. she think it's the end of trump. is them as it's no? oh, absolutely not yet. i mean, i think the only way we're going to see the end of my, the republicans are trump ism. it is for someone in the republican party to actually stand up to it and take it on and when, and the unfortunate dynamic right now is that the only way people think vacant when republican primary is by being a mag or republican. and right now, i would say with various, you know, a lot of certainty that whoever emerges from the very 2024 presidential primarly

primary will via my who republican, whether it's trump or wrong dissenters or ted cruz, all of them have him raised. the idea of denying or elections of being willing to do anything for power of passing a national ban on abortion. and so there is a consistent extremism that's coursing through their party. and until someone can stand up to it and break the fever, i think it's going to become court who they are moving forward. i'm very good to talk to you about this. thank you so much for your analysis. marvina jak, president of the center for american progress action funds joining us from washington. we appreciate your time. my pleasure. now russia says it's withdrawing its troops from a major battle ground in southern ukraine. the pull back would be a set back for present. vitamin protein for several weeks. ukrainian forces have been advancing in the case on region. it's one of the 4 regions moscow annexed in

september. now, russia's defense minister has ordered its forces to retreat from the west and bank of the denay pro river near the city, of course. huh. your photo and your from your voices, are 2 of you having comprehensively assessed the situation. i propose that we take up defensive positions along the left bank of the to me pro river. i understand this is a very difficult decision figure hopefully at the same time we will save, 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. but the ukranian government is skeptical about moscow's announce withdraw warning. it may be a trap. alger series i, sam beg, is on the front line with your cranium. chill, seen kiss on this is how the battle for her son is being fought. automobile

artillery, cruise targeting, russian forces, just kilometers away. they have the coordinates, it's a quick, 2 shots, and then they have to move go getting going good. we had to get out the way really quickly, because the russians can locate where the artillery was fired from. so we have to move away before the return fire crews can run to their targets from small commercial drones back where they are hidden away from russian drones. they can take a moment to rest, thought us, most of the navi, dominate. they are slowly retreating. russians used all reserves, so they can only reach our frontline, suppose one of us, he has a wife and child at home and says being away from them has been tough. ronald, the situation is drones is complicated. they are flying always every day and every hour of it was scary only at the beginning of more so i would just do our job even

when they fire back at us we dont panic. we are used to were awful of the weapons are 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 will ever one hear you in the infantry, artillery and engineer, and brigades is carried to be under the enemy's artillery fire. some russians 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. both small commercial ones and larger ones have made the difference land command. 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. i said, beg, i'll jazeera her son. earlier, we spoke to pavel falcon, howard was a russian defense and military analysts. and he is more on what the announce withdraw from care san means for russia's war in ukraine. the terrible blow actually makes no sense. and it made no sense before. no reports of russian generals were pressing the clam to do to withdraw from the care. sunbridge head, but politically, this is a disaster and it's a developing guys, a disaster in the russian sale. so called beach optic internet chat and telegram

channels, another out words a so political, it's very embarrassing though. military. it makes sense. and that's why most likely russian generals press through such a decision, this is not a russian defeat, since they apparently will be withdrawing in an organized manner. ukrainians will be advancing very cautiously. we're afraid of some kind of a rush and 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 the 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 a massive offense if they'll try at least to do that and push the russians really hard out of you. great. still ahead on al jazeera inflation is causing bent year frustration in greece. i generally tried forces schools to close across the country . ah, with erica nicole be a bit of a problem for florida. it lose some strengths was it makes land fall, then kills up, i think through foreign towards george and then the carolinas. it will decrease in its strength to breathe. a lot of rain that is coming up against a rain been developing in the midwest, which is scott tucked him, dies really cold there. this snow originally fell in the sierra nevada in

california and then in the rockies and it's given half reach to a mattress. now by this time, so in the to come together, you mention big thunderstorms in these states. that's still to come by bit of focus on nicole currently a hurricane, but losing some strength because of the interactions. florida is main risk is not the winds because they're but not vi kilometers. right. it's a storm surge. it comes with around the low line coast of florida and maybe south carolina and the amount of heavy rain that falls over what is to be honest, quite sodden ground, particularly in florida. but beyond that, which is talk about big showers, for example, in espanola, the small rounds of the caribbean, well spread showers, but the concentrated heavy ones probably in panama, then touching columbia and even ecuador, where the flood risk does exist. south of that, i love to draw a picture and for much of argentina, really quite warm. ah,
