ah, with we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. it's the consequence of board the human suffering that we the 4th time. it is one of the most serious about the violence. in recent years, we brave bullets and bomb because we give voice to those demanding freedom the rule of law and will always include the views from all sites. it is the professional duty of journalists to report the truth accurately and impartially. but to do so in mexico, they must 1st be successful at staying a straight to attack. some journalist continue to rise full plans reports on the risks they confront. and one of the deadliest countries in the world for those, bringing the troops to mikes, silenced the killing of journalists and mexico. on a job you ah,

the ukraine address course on after russia announces its withdrawing traits from the city of fis on. ah, hello, there i'm and this is al jazeera life and also while the press to the planets are predicting the giant red wave, it didn't happen here as president. i biden calls the mid term elections a good day for democracy as control of congress that hangs on the balance. anger is about the rising cost of living and gonna parliament is set to vote on sacking the finance next thing we need a referee from synagogue. he says he's just as excited as the players to be part of the wild cup and capital o. in ukraine,

where president ramirez landscape has cost out on russia's announcement, but it's withdrawing from the key southern city of cus on the several weeks now. ukrainian forces have been advancing in the region. russia defense minister says he's ordered a retreat to the eastern bank of the ne pro revenue on. but ukrainian officials are worried. their troops may walk into booby traps and more attack federal. and you know, if you're interested in 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. now. 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. what is it that you have that are unique

to understand that no one just goes away? if he doesn't feel the pressure of power? the enemy doesn't give us, give me, doesn't make gesture of good. will the fight for all that? well, that's because the bag, he's in san for us. i said, we've been hearing these competing narratives from both sides. that what are you actually seeing on the ground? why it's very difficult to know exactly what's going on because ukrainians up being very secretive about they offensive. what we do know is that they've said that they offensive continues, but the commanders here, the ukraine commanders said that they haven't ruled out, can you russian provocation. all the fact that they can actually take this seriously because this thing actions speak louder than words for weeks now. the ukrainians have been saying that russians have been reinforcing their positions in her saw that the soldiers, russian soldiers have been putting on civilian coals, taking a position of getting ready for st. battles and even until last night,

the ukrainians, a thing. yes, the russians have said that they are going to withdraw, but at the same time they're putting it, putting an extra troops into that person region, so as the ukrainians advance and they have been advanced and taken towns and villages. and we've seen images of that time and when you tell what happens when they begin to end to actually enter the city of her son. already or 9, we've seen official channels from the ukrainians showing leftover military equipment as the ukrainian forces move forward. but we have been to her son, we have been in this area for a while and we were with some ukranian troops as they were taking part in the offensive. ah, this is how the battle for her song is being fought. are matter. 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 artillery 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. they can take a moment to rest, thought us, most of the navi, dominate the us. lovely retreating russians used all reserves so they can only reach our frontline, some of those. one of he has a wife and child at home and says being away from them has been tough. growing number of the situation is drones is complicated. they are flying always every day and every hour of the then it was scary only at the beginning of more. and i would just do our job even when they fire back at us. we dont panic. we are used to war. awful form 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 fy back quickly. this crew has lost friends with no fees. as a commander, this curious thing is to lose people verbal, every one. here he is in the infantry, artillery and engineering brigades is carried to be under the enemy's artillery fire. some 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. both small commercial ones and larger ones have made the different lank mats judge or the front lines have moved quickly of late. these trenches were once facing the enemy, but so horrible a bluish russians were close a few months before. but now the front line is moving jets in drones are always flying overheads, but for observation only, mostly it's russian groans. 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 war. i said, as you referred to her son as obviously a very strategic setting when it comes to control. what does this mean says the war more broadly. what is stephanie? another setback for moscow isn't it? they, on the year they said they withdrew from other areas of the country and said that they want you to concentrate on the east. and the site is now here they are announcing that they will be withdrawing from the only regional capital that they've managed to capture since the start of the war. that the strategic commit, militarily important city for them. because it, because correspond is a gateways to the side of the country. it also will expose the troops for the east . and it is a massive embarrassment. we had russian officials coming to course on telling the population there that russia is here forever. there were billboards and course on

the course on 50 attending people that this is now russia and also the russian commander had said that they wanted to take mc alive and desa further west. and that doesn't look like it's going to happen. not nice at this stage. so this is another set back very embarrassing for moscow, but the question is, what was the ukrainians do? now we have been hearing that the russians have been building bridges as they withdrew. will the ukrainians target in the russian forces as they withdraw? because that will take time. but the ukraine's i've been very quiet about their movements at the moment because again, they are treating this announcement the skepticism. but from the people that we've spoken to. there is, there is a quiet confidence now that the tide in the wall is changing. definitely, since this announcement of the russians withdrawing from her on her back there on the ground forest and her son with all the laces. thank you so much. i do stay safe army law russian president vladimir present will not be attending the g 20 lead at

summit and bali next week. russia is likely to face western criticism that that me saying about the war in ukraine. moscow says a foreign minister sag lab. rog, well attend, and putin may appear on video link. who has present. joe biden previously said he had no intention of meeting pearson at the t 20. well, you as president joe biden has hailed the democrats performance in the mid term elections saying it's a good day for democracy. but he is acknowledged that americans are frustrated with the political divide. biden says he is willing to work with the republicans as his party could still lose control of both the house and the senate. mike hannah has worn out from washington. it was in pennsylvania that the predicted red wave was revealed to be little more than a trickle in a crucial senate race. john bittman overcame both a stroke and stiff competition from the trump backed celebrity. dr. member to us

giving the democratic party a fighting chance of keeping control of the senate, roach and president joe biden has welcome the preliminary results. while the pressure opponents were predicting a giant red wave. it didn't happen. and i know you were somewhat miss by my my obsession optimism. but i felt good during the whole process. i thought were going to do fine in the 1994 terms. president bo clinton last 52. how seats in 2010 barack obama last 63 this year the last could be in the region of 20, making joe biden, one of the most successful 1st term precedence in recent history. the major republican party decree came in florida, which is now emerged as a fully republican stronghold and were in a strong showing governor run de santis, easily held onto his position, confirming his status as

a most likely challenger to any possible reelection bid by the states. most prominent resident, former president, donald trump, will be fun watching take on each other. president biden also took note of a noticeable change in both demographics, both of registration figures and the results themselves indicate a huge increase in the number of voters between the ages of 18 and 30 stood at would appear by the desire to combat climate change. and an anger at attempts to stop a woman's right to choose the money. it also reflects that the president of future generations, impatience and anger at the political rancor of the past. my cannot use era washington. well now the nyak is the president of the center for american progress action fund, and he says, democrats had an impressive performance because many americans don't trust

republicans make america great again, ideology. 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 election 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 and they said, we're not interested in the very simple fans. mid terms are almost always a referendum on the presidents. and i think what president biden and democrats in congress did right, is they put maga, republicans on the ballad this year. and so that this mid term election, it became a choice. and once maga republicans were on the ballot, people were turning out in really record numbers. you know, we saw the historical 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 in their

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 mid term, actually come out and it change the outcome of the election. well, the counting is still on the way they're into battle ground states. and i resigned the officials tallying the half a 1000000 mailand balance while a neighboring nevada. it could be another 9 days before the final results are in that. well, let's take a look at how things stand right now. this is the house of representatives. the republican party, as you can see, that as in the lead here, but by a small margin then forecast a party needs 218 seats to take control. and the senate is almost neck and neck. the democrats have 48 seats, while the republicans have 49 all eyes on those battleground states of ours zone and nevada. georgia will be holding a run off in december. moving on the still ahead here on out. is it

a mass firing at meta? well, tell you why the tech giant is laying off $11000.00 employees and ending the war on drugs. could columbia's cocaine industry be legalized? ah, as we approached winter temperatures rising across europe, yet ascending congress and the details. but because the driving force of the weather is the atlantic, which is relatively warm, yes, carrying from that direction. so despite what happens in the sky, temperatures do tend to recover at the moment, then we've got a picture in the northern half of europe caught a strong southwesterly windsor temperatures. cross the you care about 567 degrees above the average, even more mat in places that transfers across the denmark. rest is southern scandinavia. there is some snow in the high ground. otherwise we talked about

occasional range. how's the wants to some degree spreading across the rest of europe as well? now, is preceded by rain and they'll be significant rain in some parts, fitfully slovenia, and particularly developing in the barracks. and then i think by friday or not eastern side of spain and portugal is fine. it's warming up again and the fear not to reco values. it looks like the white well dropped with the rain in nebo caressed . but again, not much is the overall picture. let's pick somewhere like warsaw take a slightly closer look now also to tell you should be about 6 to half degrees by day. we're well above that and we stay that way for friday, saturday. and indeed, sunday brayton, still a potential problem in west africa, but it is hopefully, i'm probably going for the sex ah, a

with a ah ah, hello there, i'm associate hey and are home. let's remind you about top stories here. this hour . ukrainian president brought him you zalinski has stressed the need of the caution following russia's announcement that it's withdrawing from the southern city of san eve has worn troops of possible booby traps and more attacks. you as president joe

biden has hailed the democrats performance in the mid term elections, calling it a good day for democracy. however, his party could still lose control of both the house and senate vote counting. it is still under way. meanwhile, into battle ground states and arizona officials are tallying half a 1000000 male and ballots, while results in neighboring nevada could only be finalized in 9 days. now the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court says investigators have documented evidence of war crimes and libya for the 1st time. kreme con has met victims of the civil war and the conflict between the internationally recognized government and walla, for after he visited prisons and inspected a mass burial sites in the town of tuna and the north west. it's it presents very vividly misery on an unprecedented scale. and wherever you go in the world, in different crime scenes way, we're dealing with crimes within the court jurisdiction. it beg his belief at how

man inflicts terra and torture and cruelty upon his fellow men at woman and child. so into huda, we saw at a agricultural center boxes where people had been kept. metal boxes affects the end, the workstations in which they were kept in terrible conditions. we went to farms were, which were mass graves with a hundreds of bodies. and we went to a tip which was filled with dietrie us with rubbish, with dead dogs and dead animals. and all kinds of filth and bodies. human, our brothers and sisters were thrown in these conditions and the libyan authorities have been a working a hot took soon them, but, and i went to see a claim for after. and i was very clear to him that we received information. i was as close, i am to him as i was to this, to this camera. and i said we received the offices, received evidence and information regarding allegations relating to the libya

national army. that these are serious matters, and i was absolutely clear that whether one is a military commander or a civilian superior. the law of was applied the obligations not to take part in criminality. the obligation also to prevent and punish crimes that make taking place on the well health organization says aid access to ethiopia. tiger i region remains stalled. despite last week c spy down, the when agency says millions of people need urgent assistance. after 2 years of conflict, he lives under what you and cause a defacto blockade imposed by government forces as allegories about the rising cost of living and gonna parliament to set to vote on sacking, finance, minister for 3rd time. now this year people have taken to the streets to protest against food, fuel and transport prices. the government has now approached the international monetary fund. as i'm address reports from across it gone is only organic chocolate

factory production is still on, but at a fraction of its capacity making these sweet tasting balls these days has become a bittersweet experience. sales in europe, i sultani dropped very significantly so you are forced to then money with what's resources you have cost of production as well. so up that we actually plan up with that says the company fair is better than most to you because it's shareholders can access money from abroad. this food processing plant couldn't survive the crisis. it's machines are gone. and the building itself is a poor sale. if a buyer can be found, it was mentally to preserve their perishables their own materials and also to give employment and to give, read the market. to define this gun is economic crisis is a worse 2 generations pushing many people into poverty. it's in markets like these,

why gone as economic crisis is felt to the most while people's purchasing power has a order because of the depreciation of the local currency. food prices have tripled since the beginning of the year. fuel costs have doubled and because of that, the cost of transportation has gone up into the price of this food. keep increasing, making it harder for families to phase economies. blame this on excessive government borrowing without investing in areas of growth. and that officious aren't responding well to the situation. amy action that says, i'm ready to face my problems. i'm ready to fix it. i'm ready to make a you tend from the irresponsibility of the past or will it do? it will restore confidence. so gone is opposition, is demanding the sucking of the finest minister. my biggest concern is i don't see any relief inside. i do see in there who i had of me. i don't have fit.

i don't have trust in and i did down by the government has turned to the international monetary fund for help and assist sacking. the finance minister in the middle of negotiations will be a mistake. we expect also to have a staff level agreement with them before the end of the year. so that from next year we can start, you know, fully embracing the fund program gardens. economic plight is made worse by a weak production base, as existing manufacturers struggle to keep their machines running, hama degrees algebra, a cra, i'm in my work as across europe are being squeezed by the soaring cost of living, and they're holding major protests. and parents is expected to come to a standstill laser as metro staff there strike for better pay. on wednesday, thousands not in greece unions, there are demanding a lot of taxes and an increase to the minimum wage. out of hand company at facebook,

instagram and whatsapp has announced it's cutting more than $11000.00 jobs. it's been called the most difficult change at tech giant meta ban on support staff and california. when his profile pictures to admit a boss, mark zuckerberg called it a sad day said the mass layoffs were needed. you're due to lower than expected revenue forecasts. and the need to operate more efficiently across the company's various platforms. analysts say there's another reason and it's right there in the company's name. zuckerberg has gone full obsession on met averse. he believes that's a future of, you know, human existence. and that's the future of meta, even changed the name of the company in to pursue that. and he's thrown hundreds of millions of dollars at this every quarter. he and the result it as nothing people who have tried it, don't find it that exciting, almost a lonely experience. the met averse is sort of just sitting dead in the water and

it's become a gigantic financial sinkhole. more than 11000 workers or 13 percent of metas workforce will be notified by email that they are out of their jobs. it's an international corporation and firings will be felt globally at facebook's european headquarters in dublin, a 1000 workers will reportedly be let go. these are tough times in the tech industry overall. in addition to meta other companies that have recently announced wide scale layoffs include lift sales force, zillow, and strike. and of course there's twitter which under new boss, ellen musk slashed its workforce by hath last week. besides, the failure of the met, averse to take off as zuckerberg had hoped, facebook is losing younger social media users to newer hipper apps like tick tock, tick, tock is taking over the world. i mean there's no question about a google is beginning to really feel the impact of tick tock as well. so i think he

didn't get the next big thing for kids. better. stock has nose dive nearly 75 percent since last year, bringing the company's market value down from one trillion dollars to less than $240000000000.00 with profits down nearly 50 percent. rob reynolds al jazeera, menlo park, california, and columbia. as the land largest cocaine producer, and now former presidents and wildly to say it's time to legalize it and bring an end to what they called a failed on drugs. and i found her until she has one hour from bucket time. prediction is cocaine, matthew, and in synthetic drugs, is that a normal time high despite decades of military efforts and billions of dollars spent to stop the trade. now a global commission in drugs which includes the former president of columbia, mexico signed to change what it calls a failed strategy worldwide is produced as their report focuses on columbia. the

biggest go came producer in the world and called for the legal regulation of all drug production and consumption. columbia has been the country that has paid the highest cost in the war on drugs that were declared by the world by the united nations. more than 50 years ago, we have tried every single measure by the book, with many resources, many lives sacrificed. and we still have this problem. we're still the number one exporter of cocaine to the world markets for calls for ending the criminalization and incarceration of people who use drugs and poor farmers who make a living growing coca leaves and regulating drug market stupid governments in control and rate revenue. sometimes the former president clearly understood when he

was columbia, as the fence minister in the mid to thousands. i was the one who sprayed more and who read again more. and that's when i was convinced that it was like, i call it like an a static bicycle. you peddle you pedal, you been, you know, to the right. you can, if you're in the same position at a very high cost. the recommendation comes at a time when the country seems open to a different conversation on drugs newly elected president because several pay 3 spear having a regional effort to change drug policy and drug production and trafficking as fuel to columbia deadly civil conflicts for decades. this proposal i demand from here from my wounded latin america to end the irrational war on drugs and the war and drugs and allow people to live in peace, regional approach that the commission hopes that will be recognized globally. now we have the evidence that,

that conceptual questioning of the world rocks is true. so that is why i think the time has gone actually a long time ago to change radically. the approach change is never easy, and nobody can underestimate the complications legalization with bring, especially in consuming countries. but these former precedents say it would be insane to continue doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. allison that i'm the just the what the, the well, it's a unique privilege to referee and that said the fif wildcard. they will be just $36.00 referees at the tournament this year. and senate goals mug working. yeah, it is one of them. he says he's just as excited as the players to be in capital. well, you said my god, no, i didn't understand. i got if you've had to put it down

with your company to get this off. if i'm one of them that's hold on, let me say it will probably talk to someone else. jim. yeah. darcy, don't a, don't go look at the next one. want to look at it. it was, he felt just use put, dealt with that makes it a, let me thought that it was a non 0 marcia degree. is that something along with does implement a port in up to like a degree because it wasn't going through by granted. let that it was really not living with him, not to prefer the like with i was just to cut those up. is it? it is your integral. everybody without looking at them. what the the,

what was it comes up with it was like $1130.00 inches. i believe, yeah, you said it was a while ago. more the media to you. i would say about dr. on a on for the past. i think i'm up. i mean if it was you really, i mean, i don't. and for that, i'm talking when a larger, more play mark wasn't for me. i played like all this, i'm kind my late that he sees him up last summer. it helped me find it out of it is a little doug with raj and other business is america. i'm presented to go shopping . i guess what im this is ally with was jesse was his only business then with a okay. yep. can you tell me, let me did i tend to pull up to put my mind on what he with.
