for us to interrogate people about issues that matter from the state of democracy around the world for the struggles faced by the under represented, the voices have to be brought to the table. they have the matter. we have to start to talk about the see here. we will challenge the conventional with a bra on al jazeera. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world, sentimental handy take. it will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. 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 alive. as fatal attacks on journalists continue to rise full plans reports on the risks they confront. in one of the deadliest countries in the world for those, bringing the troops to light silenced the killing of journalists and mexico on a j 0 o.

u. s. democrats keep control of the senate. catherine cortez master windsor type race in nevada. in the mid term elections. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera la you from dough are also coming up celebrations in ukraine's hair. so not the russian troops are forced to give up the city they have left in ruins. a roadmap for peace. ethiopia, as military unto drawn, rebels agreed to allow in humanitarian aid on people in tortilla, prepare for the worst on the 23rd anniversary of a devastating well, we begin with breaking news now out of the us, where democrats will hang on to control the senate off to a midterm election, victory in nevada, catherine co is musto, has defeated her republican opponent,

adam lac, sold who was endorsed by donald trump. it means the democrats will continue to hold a majority in the senate for the remainder of president biden's term in office. go to his master's victory is a huge win for democrats and a blow to republicans who had hope for a red wave to give them the balance of power and both the senate and the house of representatives. let's bring in my county. joseph live from washington dc for more mikes, the democrats must be breathing a huge sigh of relief. talk through the nevada result of what it means. what is very significant. and d, that does give the democrats control of the senate to give sin 50 seats to date, which with the controlling vote of the vice president, a means that they will control the senate for yet another term. now the senate lead a chuck schumer as just announced that this is a vindication for all americans. saying that he will again be the leader of the senate, the majority leader in the senate. and he said as well that this makes clear that

the american people reject to the mag brand of republicanism. now, what is significant in these last 3 senate results? we've seen pennsylvania, arizona, and now in nevada. each of these candidates was hotly endorsed by former president donald trump. now this is going to impact very greatly his standing and outside influence within the republican party. given his record in terms of backing candidates who have lost in states that the republicans were confident they could take back from the democrat. so a very, very significant democratic party, victory control of the senate. there is still going to be a runoff election in georgia, but that in a way is immaterial. given that the democrats have already seized control of the senate as to the how selections. well, the counting is continuing their, the, a republicans appear to still be having a slight lead. however, there's been

a narrowing in that lead over the past 24 hours with some surprising results coming up, particularly in california. so the rates were the house as well. does not yet appear to be over. if the republicans do when control there, it's going to be by the slimmest of margins, which will heavily impact on their ability to push through whatever agenda they want to in the house. all right, so my kind of life was there in washington dc. mike, thank you. are in the spring and not john nichols is a political writer at the nation that joins us live from madison in wisconsin. john good to abbey, back with a. so nevada is a race, as mike was saying that it went right down to the wire. president biden, and the democrats would be extremely happy with this result. absolutely, this is incredibly good news for president. what it means is that on a number of levels, he will now have the power to continue to govern something that he would have lost in many senses. if the republicans had taken the senate, for instance,

with democratic control of the u. s. senate president biden's appointments to the high courts are supreme court, as well as to the federal courts and to cabinet positions in bassinger ships. other jobs can now be approved in a way that they might not have been approved by a republican senate. so right off the bat, that is a big deal. also, whether the republicans take the house of representatives or not. because the democrats have control the senate, they will be any negotiating position where they'll be able to advance much of the president's agenda. so this is a huge gallery for president by for the democrats and john with the democrats taking the senate. this is a huge blow for republicans who were hoping, of course, for this red wave of votes to route the democrats. it never happened though, so you think voters punish republicans for their policies on big issues like inflation and abortion and so on. i think it was

a complicated election. i think the voters were ill at ease as regards inflation. they're concerned about rising prices. and if that was the only issue, the republicans might have done rep or well, but on the issue of abortion, overwhelmingly, the polls showed that the vote are cited with the democrats on the issue of protecting american democracy. making sure that we have free and fair elections. the polls showed that the people cited with the democrats on the issue of maintaining our social safety net, typically our social security program. the polls show that the people sided with the democrats. so even though inflation was a big issue and a challenging issue for the democrats on a host of other issues, people were with them. and i think this is also somewhat of a referendum on donald trump. and there's very powerful signals that a lot of voters, even in republican leading states, are ill at ease with donald trump and his endorse candidates. and meanwhile, the republicans appear to be inching closer to majority in the house. what does

this mean then for the last 2 years of president biden's presidency? but certainly of problems the president by, if republicans control the house of representatives president by will have to negotiate with the republicans. in his 1st 2 years he had a democratic house and a democratic senate is main job was just to get the democrats together. that wasn't always easy, but that was all he had to do. now he will have to reach across the aisle and look for compromises with the republicans to get action in the house. that will be much harder. it's certainly going to be a challenge. but if it's a narrow republican majority, then that's going to be easier than if it's a big republican majority. and it certainly looks at this point like it will be quite narrow. just a, just a final thought to you. i mean, this string of winds for the democrats, the scene, a stunning reversal of fortune for the party that appeared to be in serious trouble heading into the mid terms. but kind of democrats, do you think, maintain this momentum going forward into 2024 at it?

it is certainly possible. it depends in many ways. and what the republican party does, if the republican party really remains closely aligned with donald trump, that gives their democrats some space to work in. but walk to mentally, presidents and parties are measured by what they accomplish. and so the next 2 years will be challenging for the democrats, but the fact that they made it through this mid term, with frankly, a lot of victories suggest that they have some ability to succeed politically where people didn't think it was possible. so the democrats are feeling very good tonight . don nickles, always good to get your thoughts and your insight. thank you very much, and you for talking to us, john. thank you. now, ukrainians are celebrating in the southern city of harrison, not the retreat of russian forces. it's one of the most significant victories for ukrainian troops since russia invaded in february. moscow had claimed the region as a russian land forever, as i said, beg never for. ah,

for the 1st time since march, the 2nd, the residence of carson woke up to sights and sounds of a city restored to life. this is full body square in the center, the world means freedom. and with it comes joy and laughter. it's not peace time as such. but 1st longest possible, the pretend it is. the russian army has merely retreated to the east side of the guinea pro river easily in artillery range as they withdrew the russians destroyed critical infrastructure, the tv tower bridges over the disney pro, including this one in the car, covert them causing significant damage of parts of the dam wall and satellite imagery shows a damage and turn of ski bridge. the main crossing from west to east russia announced that it had completed an orderly withdrawal on friday morning. but the evidence suggests it was anything, but some units were forced to flee across the temporary pontoons under heavy

ukrainian fire. the reports of drownings and other unit is said to have been ordered to dress in civilian clothes and skate by any means available. many russian, dead and wounded are said to have been left behind, stolen lansing reach of silver mobile on us all. as of this evening, the defense forces have established control over more than 60 settlements in care saw regions. the police have started stabilization measures, mostly everywhere in liberated territory. our expert technicians have low to worth to you might have almost 2000 explosive items have already been removed, new or star, woburn by sticky. for russia, it was the latest in a series of battlefield defeats. and all the more humiliating common, just 6 weeks after her son was formerly annexed by moscow. for now, ukraine has rejected the idea of negotiations with they want to negotiate, but they have written russia here forever. they want to go shared with us and keep

bumping the infrastructure they want. they want to cease fire, but they're not talking about the withdrawal of their forces from the entire territory of ukraine because they need an operational pause before not peace, a liberal, a city that resisted the occupation when it began almost 9 months ago, until that resistance proved futile that was so recently proclaimed russian for ever by vladimir putin has proven itself in scenes of re for ya. that won't, and any time, soon to be ukrainian to it's called the question now is whether ukrainian troops to replicate this victory elsewhere in the country. fighting in the east is particularly intense, but with the return of the region capital to ukrainian hands, and the morale boost that comes with it. they believe they can win this war. a sad beg i'll de 0 quivery was okay. mark of a former adviser to russian president vladimir putin. he says, losing her son as a blow for russia, but it could be ukraine's last big victory. it's really embarrass for russia are.

you still believes to rush, i'm is 2nd, i mean, is the world after united states probably about probably equal to united states, so it's depressive, falls our population. it'd be oppressive or, i mean, but we still believe that that is probably a last, a real military victory. ukrainian army main reason is, is that you create a zation needed to remember the zation or the spring. and as a result, you could, you can fight time and a rash on my population, but you're getting an army to wise be, get xander ration. i'm here, but now it is your will be a way for you canyon. i mean, because the 300000 mobilized, that reference will come to the russian army captured in cops get a song, is really a good example. or for the fact that russia is liberal state and that i

keep resume is the pressure. ethiopia, as government and rebel forces have come to an agreement to facilitate humanitarian access to water, to grow and other regions in the north. the pledge was signed in nairobi as a later step in efforts to end 2 years of conflict. it follows talked this week on the implementation of a peace deal sign 10 days ago. fighting between the 2 sides was left thousands dead and displaced 1000000. 0, so easy. ready ready to use and he's looking for a meeting today with a, a, a, a. we have to read

training a weather system, they're just coming out of the back end of nickel that still bring you some live showers across good parts of cuba. easing a little further east, which as we go through monday, i disguised, come back behind it with a rash of showers and showers too for a good part of central america. ah . on counting the cost is germany too dependent on china is the economic reliance overblown. the developing world calls on uses to pay the climate bell at top $27.00. and diana is balancing and we'll be honest, threat to the and by canceling the cost on al jazeera with bold and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera lou.

ah, welcome back. a quick reminder about top stories here. this, our democrats in the us will keep control of the senate after a midterm election, victory in nevada. catherine cortez moscow defeated her republican opponent. adam black, so was endorsed by donald trump. ukrainians are celebrating in the southern city of san after the retreat of russian forces. it's one of the most significant victories for ukrainian troops since russia invaded president vladimir lensky, hailed us on historic ethiopians. government and rebel forces have come to an agreement to facilitate humanitarian access to water, to gray. other regions in the north. a pledge was signed in the library. let's take a look at how the conflict has unfolded day in november 2020 fighting broke out.

when prime minister abbey armored sent troops into northern to dry, he accused rebels of attacking a federal army camp. in may 2021 years president joe biden called for a cease fire and an end to what many said were large scale human rights abuses him to grow. in june that year, ethiopia declared a unilateral cease fire, which turned out to be ineffective. in november, a nationwide state of emergency was put in place, but fighting continued on and off until last month when delegates from both sides met in south africa. on november, the 2nd, a permanent cessation of hostilities was agreed and on monday, the 7th of november, representatives of ethiopia and to grey, met in kenya's capital nairobi for talks on implementing the plan. those ended with saturdays agreement, dr. for seeker and if law sees a surgeon that to grice biggest hospital, he says the organization's been struggling to function because of a shortage of essential medicines. as a hospital, we have been totally dependent on the federal government for the budget,

which includes the running costs, salary, and medical supplies, but sees the work records and especially for the last monday the supplier has stopped. so we don't have medicine, we don't have a team, we don't have a drug drugs, antibiotics, laboratory simply and especially his last august everything has stopped because what i'm most used to come by at a later in day saturday was he told us everything has stopped. so our patients, the number of patients is coming to be done because the company we have almost stopped every service is except that emergent service. so we are almost at the edge of the cliff. nothing is coming up. so i would describe it like we are at the edge of the cliff, almost collapsing with fuel services, functional to service. so the patients number has decreased. that's what i was

describing because what i was sort of as a whole, we just and people coming go say mckelly has decreased because there is no transport. there is no fuel. and even in motherly people who used used to come, but now they have an understanding that those that are getting services for the last, almost a year, 18 months. so people losing hope almost coming. that's how i describe it. so the number of patients that come to the hospital has significantly decreased because of transport problems. and because there is no service yeah, sounds from it to south east asian leaders enter the 3rd and final day on sunday. the agenda includes a trilateral meeting between us president joe biden, and the japanese and south korean leaders escalating tensions with north korea are expected to dominate the agenda. tony chang has moved from palm pen. a lot of the attention yesterday was on jo biden's arrival, the message that he brought with him that the united states was very firmly backing

its relationship with se aces leaders. he said that there was a commitment he was making him was, was going to back out with funds with all sorts of things. i think overall what we're looking at is america trying to pivot back into this region to counter what it says is growing chinese influence. that said, i think a lot of people here will be looking very closely at that meeting on monday, between teaching ping and joe biden. they've felt trapped in many ways with the antagonism that is growing up between the united states and china in recent years. because, you know, they're having to make a choice either from chinese investment and a lot of it is flowed into se asia or security guarantees from the united states who still is a very important player in security terms in this region. and that puts a lot of the small, the nation in a very difficult position that we saw. antonia gutierrez, un secretary general saying yesterday, this should be a relationship between the us and china of antagonism. rather,

they should be responsibly working together in all areas, both economically and security terms. and i think that's what a lot of people here will be hoping comes out of monday's summit. canyon troops deployed as part of an east african regional for sal arrive and eastern democratic republic of congo. the soldiers will provide assistance to congolese forces battling the m $23.00 rebel group. fighting has intensified across north keyboard province in recent days. will m. 23 has staged a major resurgence this year. fighting in the region as force, nearly 200000 people from their homes in july human rights. what said the arm group had killed at least $29.00 civilians since mid june. many of the victims were accused of being congolese army informants. m 23 has blamed other armed groups for the killings accompanies government as it was rolanda backing the group. but orlando denies supporting rebels. when i'm 20 three's been fighting with congress troops just north of goma. now conway reports canyon soldiers
