program or anybody who wouldn't run in on what we do. stay sticking with. so i feel good. i'm looking forward to there couple years. republican adam lex, that becomes yet another trump supported candidate to lose earlier the democratic party, one in the state of arizona where former astronaut mark kelly defeated republican blake masters. i think the democrats are faced the central dilemma in this campaign . it became more and more obvious that inflation was going to dominate the elections, but it's hard to campaign on fighting inflation when the problem has spiraled out of control under your watch and to clear loose in the midterm elections, his former president, donald trump, whose endorsement of so many losing candidates will call into question his upsized influence in the republican party. it may be, i read another of his choices. herschel walker is likely to place an uphill battle

in a runoff election in georgia next month. the counting of votes is continuing in the house of representatives. elections. republicans still hold a slight lead, but the democrats have closed the gap with some surprising winds in the past 24 hours. but even if republicans do take control of the house, it will be by the slimmest of margins and with control of the senate. president biden will still have a lot of leeway to press forward with his legislative agenda. ah, above all these midterm elections have cemented his stature as a leader, which in turn will give him a greater degree of control over his party. mike hannah, out his era washington. so this is, was a senate victory looks like for the democrats have kept 50 seats and the republicans who are now at $49.00. the swing state, georgia will hold a one off election in december. but even if the republicans win and the senate is

split evenly, the democratic vice president, carla harris, can cast a tie, breaking vote. but the house of representatives is undecided. republicans are leading there with 211 seats. that's 7 shores of the 218 needed for a majority. democrats are expecting more winds in western states like california the u. s. president says that the lines of communication with china will stay open to ensure the 2 countries don't via into conflicts. joe biden made the comments to leaders from asia or summers in cambodia. the asha meeting has been taking place ahead of a g 20 gathering in indonesia, where by them will meet china's leaders. she's in ping in person for the 1st time as president chinas. foreign ministry says that ty, one is a root cause of tension between paging and washington. let's go lived on a barley where the g tommy g. 20 summit will be opening up on tuesday. our sales

rep, mcbride, is that what can we expect them rob from this sir? biden. she meeting yeah, there is growing anticipation here about this so called bilateral meeting. these bilaterals always take place around these big summits on the often on the sidelines . they're often the side show, but given the problems besetting the g 20, this might actually turn out to be the most consequential meeting of the week. it is the meeting between these 2 superpowers really to try to work out or try to frame their relationship. moving forward, there is a growing acceptance that they are china and the usaa coming increasingly into competition. and at times, confrontation with each other on so many different fronts, economically, diplomatically, especially in this part of the world in the asia pacific. and even in terms of the way that their militaries operate in this part of the world, there is an increasing chance of miscalculation so that i think there is an

acceptance as, as the this is a very important meeting between the 2 world leaders. china is very mistrustful of what the u. s. his motives are in trying to bring together what it sees as this alliance of nations, to try to restrain the growth of china in terms of technology and so on. but as far as the u. s. is concerned, i think they want to try, given the surance that, that they can co have it in this world. yes, as competitors are, but certainly trying to work out between china and the u. s. where those red lines are so the rondo miscalculations moving forward, but it is an extremely interesting meeting, and especially given the changing circumstances for these 2 world leaders in the countries where they come from. of course, for the us, we keep hearing this expression from a senior officials in the state department, the joe biden, unexpectedly, for many, is coming to this part of the world with the wind at his back. having been given this boost from the mid terms. she, jim pink, of course,

is just emerged from his party congress in bay jane being given this unprecedented 3rd term term as, as leader. so both of them come in a very strong position. it remains to be seen what they're going to make from the talk said that are going to take place in the coming day. what about the actual g? 20 summit, robert. there any signs of unity among leaders? as always, as we knew as the rent that dave was going to be like this, it is all overshadowed, of course, by ukraine when it comes to a food security, a to food inflation, the energy crisis that is gripping the globe. all of these problems have been exacerbated by ukraine joker, we, dodo, the president of indonesia had wanted this to be really aimed at trying to sort out some of the food and energy problems in the world. but it, it really is overshadowed by ukraine. and don't forget, of course, there is the climate crisis where the much is going to be done towards the this

a growing climate crisis also remains to be seen. and i think we're going to see in the coming few days, an awful lot of political and diplomatic, a posturing. it is unclear whether there is going to be any family of photograph at the end of this says session as then normally is a when the, the foreign ministers of the g 20 matter the beginning of july. there was no family photo there at the a survey love rock is going to be here representing russia. vladimir putin is not here, although he was invited by jo, co widow as a way of possibly bringing zelinski and putting together. neither of those leaders will be here, although lot him is zalinski is due to be addressing the g 20 a virtually. but we are going to be seeing the russians really making as much as they can of survey love. rob's presence, he and beating as many foreign ministers as, as he can to show that russia is not as isolated or as ostracized as the u. s. and

its allies would want us to believe of from the u. s. and their allies point of view. they really want to show a united front to give a cold shoulder to russia and really to apportion blame on that one. g, 20 member russia for all of the myriad problems. now besetting the rest of the g. 20 rama. pride reporting live there from barley, manufactured a rob, the congolese army and rebels, a battling for control of the town of kent bomba. in north kiva province. it's 25 kilometers for the regional capital goma. that's the closest the rebel group. m. 23 has come to the city since it began it's offensive in march. now to serious malcolm web is in gama, on the road taken by many to flee, the conflict were just north of the city of goma. keep them was about 5 kilometers that way, which is where the economy leads army fighting. the m $23.00 rebel group right now,

which is widely understood to be a proxy of neighboring lawanda, although rwanda denies it. nevertheless, few hours we see none of the people coming down this road carrying whatever possessions they could grab before they fled. some of them said that they fled, people move when the fighting started. others so said that they were told to leave in the last couple of hours by the congress army because they're fighting heavily with artillery military. so a soda the m $23.00 began it's offensive with a barrage of dozens and dozens of rockets and bombs and sustain heavy machine guns . fire that went on for hours before they began trying to take the town with infantry. and just to show our guy, we've seen a truck of conley, republican guard presidential guard, who are the best trained invest equip unit in the congress military. they were driving this way, reinforcements presumably going to the front to join in the fight. there also the unit of the congress army has the most of the artillery. now earlier this, yeah,

it was just in july that the head of the un mission here said the m 23 was armed like a government army that it was so heavily armed, the un peacekeepers were no longer equipped, so not equipped to be able to tackle a conventional government army because they said their mandate, they're just here to be a to try to protect people from militia, from groups. these comments were echoed by and so you get there is the un secretary general in september. he stopped short of blaming rwanda for bucking am 23. can release government and you and investigate to say that is what's happening . although rwanda denied it. randa, and you can do id east in congo in the 199 season. they have been accused of fucking militia to do the same thing repeatedly, ever since resulting in a more than 2 decades. dividing conflict here in heathen congo. or we were here in
