every year for millions of years, decades of talk, but little action, it's all about distract, create confusion to create smoke and mirrors. the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically subverted. the. busy oil industry was a main bank roller or opposition to clock back to campaign against the climate. do you think that's a bad thing more to to a debt, which here's a good thing. absolutely. on, on jesse ah, ah ah

ah, us democrats keep control of a senate, catherine cortez musto windsor type rice in nevada, in the mid term elections. ah, i'm darn jordan, this is out as a right now you're from to also coming up celebrations in ukraine's hassan. not a russian troops are forced to give up the city they've left in ruins. a roadmap for peace. ethiopia is military on to grime, rebels agree to allowing humanitarian aid and people in tokyo prepare for the worst on the 23rd anniversary of a devastating ah, we begin with breaking was out of the united states,

where democrats will hang on to control the senate after a midterm election victory in nevada. catherine cortez master has defeated her republican opponent. adam lock 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 turman office, caught his master's victory is a huge wind for democrats and a blow to republicans who had hoped for a red wave to give them the balance of power in both the senate and the house of representatives. well, well, democrats have now secured 50 seats in the senate with republicans at 49, the state of georgia. those yet to be decided. but even if the republicans, when their democrats will still control the chamber, thanks to vice president comma harris, his tie, breaking vote like hannah joined us live now from washington, d. c. for more mikes, the democrats must be breathing. a huge sigh of relief took us through the nevada result and what it means well, he'll sigh of relief and also a lap of victory. we've just heard from president biden in the last few minutes

who's in from 10 attending b a z and some of the he's welcome the results for the thing that he's looking forward to the next couple of years. and so he mind control of the senate is utterly essential for him to push through his legislative agenda. now these 3 wins as well. in recent days, pennsylvania, arizona, and nevada, all in swing states, they were all states that republicans had marked 4 possible victories. they will also contended by republican candidates hand pick 10 endorsed by former president donald trump. there's a lot of factors coming out of this one say, one thing it's going to undermine his oversized influence within the republican party. and certain he is going to call into question his judgment, even among fellow republicans. but it's also a massive decree for joe biden, cementing his sanchez lead of the democratic party with the senate controlling the

senate. he's actually done better than any 1st and democratic president and midterm elections in nearly a century. so a massive achievement by the sitting president as to the house selections. well, the vote is still being come to the republicans have a narrow lead, but that lead has shortened, somewhat, as there been some surprising democratic party wins in the past 24 hours. but even if republicans do take control of the house, it will be by the slimmest of majorities and still will give president biden a lot of leeway in terms of implementing his legislative agenda for the rest of this 1st are into my kind of life from there in washington dc. mike, thank you are, and it's bringing adult franco, he's a republican party strategist to join us live from washington, dc. adults a good job with us. so let's go observe. as i've already saying this is the best mid term performance of any sitting party in 20 years. this nevada result, as my comment was just saying, there is a huge blow for the republicans, isn't it?

oh, yes, it certainly is. there was no red way. then we had certainly picked that as our most promising pickup. there's no question about it. i, i do take the exception that with your reporter, if the republicans do indeed take the house, a representative. i don't think the president is going to be able to move his agenda affectively because the house is run very much tightly, almost exclusively by the party in control. so it would be very difficult for the president to at vast any agenda if the republicans indeed hold the house. i don't, as you are saying that many analysts have predicted this republican red wave of votes that would have routed the democrats. it never happens. why do you think voters punish the republicans? was it because of their policies on big ticket issues like inflation and abortion? well, couple of things i was a now was a time for an autopsy which will conduct. first of all, the country is extremely divided. i don't think the republicans were routed all of

these quite all of these races, you know, just in about it was called today or razor thin margins. but what is clear is this, we're almost back to status quo. the republicans take the house, a little advantage for republicans, but we're back to status quo, which means the country has divided really 5050. now, why democrats put out for form and they did have to recognize that is largely, i think, for 2 reasons. earth abortion played a much bigger role, but we anticipated in motivating people over up kitchen table or inflation issues. and the 2nd thing is only 7 percent of the electorate is now independent. 4 years ago was 12 percent. so people are in their tribes and that 70 percent heavily in favor of democrats, largely on social issue. let us talk about donald trump because he endorsed many of the candidates that lost in these midterms. and many people are saying that the trump has this oversized influence on the g o. p. and that his brand of

conservatism has weakened. do you think these mid term results have eroded from strangle hold on the party? i don't believe that of j. d vance. one, the senate seat in ohio, ted bud one, the senate seat in north carolina. they were trump endorsed. the non trump and doors candidate in colorado, lost by a wide margin person who had distance himself from donald trump. of course in florida, very trump favored candidates such as governor de santis and marco rubio who stand for trunks trump ism, and by enormous margins. historic margins in florida and carried 4 seats. so we won 4 seats in new york as well. if you analyze it, donald trump's record is a little over 50 percent. so i think it's wildly exaggerated that it was the trump factor. it's the other factors, the abortion factor in a heavy democrat. i think he has them on, on their agenda, adolfo, just

a final point to you. i'm so web to republicans go from here that i mean, trump is already lambasting possible challenges. like run the sand tiff many see the florida governor as a much stronger white house contender. then trump. so what happens next then for the g p, do you think? well, i think there will be that's an excellent question. i think there will be a very hot lay contested bite for the nomination. and it will be a question whether trump loyalist would love rhonda santas will abandon president trump, bob and, and vote for a pro tromp type candidate. all. so i think it will be a very divisive. i'm almost certain to president president. trump will announce next week that he was you seeking that the presidential nomination and we'll wait and see if these other contenders decide to join in at all for frank a great to get your thoughts. thank you very much. indeed for talking to you. thank you. thank you. now, ukrainians are celebrating in the southern city of her son after their treat 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 russian land forever as odyssey was as a big nav reports. for the 1st time since march, the 2nd, the residence of carson woke up to sites and sands of a city who stored to life. this is vo 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 though, 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 near the cova dam, causing significant damage of parts of the dam. wall. and satellite imagery shows a damage and ton of sky bridge. the main crossing from west to east russia announced that it had completed an orderly withdrawal on friday morning. but the

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. i went up to. ringback 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 reform that won't end any time soon to be ukrainian to. it's called the question now is whether ukrainian troops can 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. well, alexander mariska is chad,

including crimea. and we hold that next year. we'll be in crimea, and we will liberate the whole territory of ukraine. ethiopia, 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 is the latest step in efforts to end 2 years of conflict. fall is talk this week on the implementation of a peace deal sign 10 days ago. fighting between the 2 sides has left thousands dead and displaced millions a. ready n a b a, b i b a we have in the woods
