hello again. the top stories on al jazeera, ukrainian soldiers have been seen raising their national flag in the strategic southern city of her san. it comes after moscow announced, had pulled all of its troops out on friday morning. more than 200 migrants have disembarked from a rescue ship in the french quarter too long. the vessel was allowed to dock there after italy's new far right government refused to help sparking aids implementing route with vote still being counted in the us after the midterms on tuesday. neither republicans nor democrats have gained control of congress. yet. republicans need 7 more seats in the house of representatives to gain a majority, but the party has performed below holsters predictions. this is the house of representatives. the republicans have 211 seats. now that 7 short of the 218 needed for a majority, democrats are expecting more winds from western states like california. and they do

have a slim chance of getting to 218. while the senate republican top 49 and the democrats have 48 seats, republicans need 2 more to get to 51 seats and the majority. while the democrats need only 50, and that's because vice president comm harris has the tie breaking vote. counting is still underway and swing states of nevada and arizona. now several, donald trump back candidates last crucial contests, and some republicans are blaming trump for their unexpected reverses. and a rival has now emerged for the republican nomination in 2024. she returns, he has more from washington d. c. trumpets trump, trump trump, in the sense that the people wonder what is all this mean for his, his position as the leading figure in the, in the national republican party. what does it mean for his announcements next tuesday that the, that he says? what will be going had,

what that might mean for the run off in georgia. there are lots of establishment republic, it's not coming out of the loop at model, right? when pressed is coming out apparently saying, look, this trump is lost, his, his moral authority to be the standard bearer for the republican party given so many of his high profile candidates. and other times it didn't do very well in swing states that say it's time that he hung up, he hung up his leadership ambitions, especially when you have someone like ron desantis in florida, the governor of winning winning by 20 points island, florida generally going towards towards the republicans, people are looking for something different. we should always remember that rhonda sanders is still real right wing extremists, but he's more of a county politician. i suppose that doesn't have some of the baggage, but the trump does trump for, as we understand it, there's still planning to go ahead with his announcement next tuesday, whether that will be as expected. he's in his run for the presidency. we don't know yet in some ways if he doesn't, if he doesn't amount as well for the presidency to be seen as an admission that he

was to blame for the congressional congressional elections. and he certainly posting on social media ross. he's concerned, it was a great great election and there is that sense that he's been there before after the january of the 6 thrives. a lot of people say, all right, that's it trumps over now isn't the pounds mark. so there is there. busy is all of that, and in the end, it's not gonna be about the, the party elite. so decide who is the presidential candidate, but the republican base, the new owner of twitter ilan mosque has warned employees the company could go bankrupt. the billionaire made the comment in his 1st and last call to stuff. he says twitter needs to boost subscription revenue after losing income. many clients are suspended advertising on twitter. they want to see how the platform deals with hate, speech, fake accounts, and online harassment under masks leadership. and that's not the only trouble the social media platform is facing. several executives have resigned, including its head of trust and safety, o roth. since must take over,

twitter has launched a subscription service for its coveted blue check, but this led to a surge and fake accounts impersonating those of celebrities and politicians. the platform also introduced a great official badge for high profile accounts, but on wednesday that was scrapped on the chaos as resulted in twitter, receiving a warning from the u. s. federal trade commission that overseas consumer safety, violating f t c. rules could result in half defiance adria wexler as technology editor, the irish independent newspaper, and he described the surge and fake accounts, and the departure of twitters had of trust and safety as a disaster. he's not the only senior executive who has left in the last 48 hours and twitter has last had a safety. it's had of security. it's had of privacy, it's had of sales, they've all left there is nobody effectively running the company at the top except for a long boss. and that raises problems with the u. s. federal trade commission. it

also raises problem here. problems here in europe with the irish data protection commissioner, who represents a privacy on behalf of all of europe and who is now rising to twitter to ask, what are you doing to protect the user safety user privacy. mac himself has raised the possibility of bankruptcy. he said in a call to staff call to employees that twitter is entering a very, very difficult period because advertisers are abandoning the platform. and it's no surprise to why they're doing that. advertisers typically are interested in brand safety. there's no way you're going to convince eli lilly take out and asked when it has been land tuned with a fake impersonating account for the last 24 hours. you could say the same from any other commercial account. so it has a real problem with hemorrhaging cash at the moment. mosque is probably hoping that enough people sign up to twitter blue are you on commission of inquiry is holding
