4:02 pm
latest world cut news with one week until the turn may kicks off the trophy that 32 teams will play for touches down in qatar. so it turns out you as president joe by this democratic party, has defied predictions and retained power in the senate that was confirmed after the democratic incumbent in nevada sen, catherine cortez musto, narrowly defeated. her republican challenger adam lac salt had been endorsed by former president donald trump. as mike hannah reports from washington d. c. the results cast doubt on trumps influence within the party. ah, the democrats seized control of the senate. catherine cortez musto, winston nevada, giving the democratic party 50 seats, and with the casting boats at the vice president a majority in the chamber. i'm not surprised by the turn around. i am incredibly
4:03 pm
please. i think it's a reflection of the quality of our candidates in the they're all running on the same program and anybody wouldn't run it on what we did it all stay sticky with. so i feel good and i'm looking forward to a couple years. republican adam lex, that becomes yet another trump supported candidate to lu. earlier the democratic party, one in the state of arizona where former estron or to mark kelly defeated republican blake masters. i think that democrats have faced the central dilemma in this campaign. it became more and more obvious than 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 a clear loser in the mid term elections is former president, donald trump, who's endorsement of so many losing candidates, will call into question his outsized influence in the republican party and maybe
4:04 pm
another of his choices, herschel walker is likely to place an uphill battle in a runoff election in georgia next month. the counting of boats is continuing in the house of representative 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 margins and with control of the senate. president biden will still have a lot of leeway to press forward with his legislative agenda. of all these mid term elections have cemented his structure as a leader, which in turn will give him a greater degree of control over his party. my kind of, i'll just era washington. this is what a senate victory looks like. the democrats who have kept 59 seats to the
4:05 pm
republicans, 49. the swing state of georgia will hold a run off election in december. but regardless of that result, democrats will still control the senate because even if they end up losing georgia, even if the seats end up being split evenly 5050. well, democrats will hold the tie, breaking vote with vice president, come with harris onto the house of representatives. now that is still undecided, but leaning republic, and as you can see, they have 211 seats. that 7 short of the to 18 needed for a majority. democrats are expecting more winds in western states like california. however, more than 300 election deniers were on the ballot for the us house senate and key statewide offices during the mid terms. they included positions such as secretary of state who can certify state elections more than 90 or projected to lose. many of them endorsed by former president donald trump and in swing states such as nevada, new hampshire, arizona. however, that still means that 170 election deniers backed by trump are projected to win
4:06 pm
democrats forth on the issues of democracy and abortion. while republicans put the economy and the cost of living crisis front and center of their campaign as bringing the energy palmer in london, he's a professor of international politics at city university of london. energy. thank you so much for joining us. the democrats keeping the senate, that is not how the republicans hope that these elections would go. what message do they need to take away from this in your view? i think that's a tough one and it could well center around the role of donald trump. ah, but i think if you, if you like, if you look back to sex january 2021. this is the party and their president who mobilized an attack, a possible insurrection on the capital building to stop the certification of the 2020, at general election. the presidential election, so for that party, with that record to actually come so close if you like. and maybe as you say,
4:07 pm
hold on to the ha, ha ha, when the house and just lose the senate. i mean, in that no objective sense, i would say this is a big, big result for the republicans. it shows that trump and trump isn't remain very powerful within the party. despite the fact that donald trump pack bad elections in the victims in 2018 clearly lost in 2020 and has had her a bit of a bloody nose this time. so i would say this election hasn't really fundamentally, or decisively resolved anything on a macro scale of american historical and political development. oh, okay. but if you look back to, if you start counting, start the clock at the 2018 mid term elections. you could make the argument that trump isn't as last 3 elections in a row right to mid terms and one presidential election. even though of course we understand his name isn't directly on the ballot in the midterms. you're telling me
4:08 pm
that this is not going to fundamentally change the, the direction of the republican party losing 3 elections, or under performing and 3 elections in a row. sure. i think it's important to perhaps make a distinction between trump, that person, the personality and the very idiosyncratic individual is, is a singular style. and trump ism, and i think trump ism, trump may well have received serious, serious, or kind of blows. and i think he will be deflated, has his own kind of ego, political ego will be, will be damaged, but he still retains quite a lot of power within the republican party. but more important than trump perhaps in the long run is trump isn't, is that whole that kind of anti woke culture? culture was the idea of america as the white matcher male dominated, all guns blazing, kind of a national identity, a racial white identity that, that is in right inside the g o. p. as well as the kind of sensuality of corporate
4:09 pm
deregulation and lower taxes for the very wealthy and cuts for social security and so on. so i would make a big distinction between trump and trump ism, but i would on that, you know, people have written off donald trump. many times. he retains a very, very powerful grip on the rebel can party. it may be slightly loosened, but it be interesting. see where on de santis really stands after this particular set of elections as well as the men we're seeing on the screen as you speak. talk to me about the democrats now, you know, they've got to be looking at the 2024 wondering who is the best person to keep the white house for us? well, i think that's ok. it's interesting. you played a clip present by them saying he's looking forward to the next 2 couple of years in the next 6 years. so it could well be way, you know where he decides to go. and that's going to open up quite a chasm for them. but i think i would just reiterate that other point i was making
4:10 pm
about the importance of trump and trump isn't especially trump for the republican body. i think trump plays a big role for the 10 recording party as well. he is the project fear. he's the kind of figure around which they, they mobilize their electorate, if you like, they can get a more negative support for democratic bounty, through that, the pin, or trump, and trump return that they necessarily do for their own particular programs. so i would say, i'm not sure who the next person would be. i where the common harris, who seems so disappeared pretty much from the national scene in the last 2 years. i'm not sure who would be the best candidate to take over 2024. if president biden does not run which many people think, perhaps he won't. energy palmer, thank you so much for your insights today. great to talk to you. thank you very much. on got plenty more head on this. use our including making a comeback. how benjamin netanyahu is getting the go ahead. the foreman new is
4:11 pm
really government. ah, i. and we will be meeting in iraqi music teacher who turned his weapon into a lute. we've got more on all of that later this hour as well as the groundbreaking football coach in rwanda wants for students to pay close attention to the world cup . ah, by the u. s. president says lines of communication with china will stay open to ensure the 2 countries don't veer into conflict. joe biden made the comments to leaders from asia at a summit in cambodia. the as an meeting has been taking place ahead of a g 20 gathering in indonesia where biden will meet chinese leadership, ping in person for the 1st time. as president shyness, foreign ministry says taiwan is a root cause of tension between beijing and washington. rob mcbride is in bali
4:12 pm
where the g 20 summit will open on tuesday. what can we expect rob? the anticipation growing ahead of this meeting between joe biden and g. g, and ping here on monday. the lead as arrived for this g 20. what we see often as the case this time is the will of these bilateral are organized on the sidelines of the main event, but as it may well turn out with this meeting between she and biden, this may prove to be the most consequential meeting of any that are going to be held over the coming few days because i think there is this growing awareness that there is the super power competition building between china and the us on so many different fronts. and that they really need to frame their relationship for the way forward, whether it be a competing, economically, competing diplomatically, especially in the asia pacific region, even militarily, with the increasing military presence of both countries in this part of the world
4:13 pm
with around flash point like taiwan, and the south china sea. so it is important that these 2 leaders meet the 1st time since by and b has become president meeting face to face with she. there is a suspicion from the chinese pod that this is the us and its allies gathering up ganging up if you like, and really trying to constrain and restrict its development is a deep suspicion of u. s. motives here. but we've been seeing embarrass briefings ahead of biden's visit here that the u. s. is stressing that yes, china and the us are increasingly competitive, but they can and they must, for the sake of climate change and all the rest be able to co exist. and it's really working out where the red lines are so that there aren't any miscalculations between the 2 sides going forward. it worth pointing out as well. the personal stature at the 2 men who will be sitting across the table from each other. come monday, joe biden, we had expected, could have been politically undermined by this time arriving after bad mid terms.
4:14 pm
that is not the case. he is much more strengthened the many would have anticipated . he might be an uncle. she jim ping has just won this. i've been. 3 run the 3rd term, i don't president china leader after his policies congress. alright, you've highlighted all the areas of tension and possible. disagreement is there. are there areas of potential common ground? they would, you would hope that would be, i know what joker, we don't know, the entities you president is hoping to get from. they said g 20 because it does come at a time. but, you know, exists tension, threats to humanity as we know from climate crisis, after climate, crises, etc. but all of these problems are being exacerbated of course and overshadow. they have all the events here by the ukraine war, the where, whether it is energy security or food price inflation, all of those problems are made worse. joker widow had hope that this g 20 summit
4:15 pm
would be an opportunity for the world to emerge from the pandemic. coming down to a bit stronger, i think just coming out of it at all with any kind of sense of unity would be a neat trick. as far as indonesia, the host are concerned. so we're going to see in the next few days, an awful lot of diplomatic and political posturing all based around the russian presence here. vladimir putin is not coming. we know that at one point, the indonesians hope they could get him here alongside locked him. it's lensky lensky is likely to appear virtually online. we don't know whether putin will be addressing any of the sessions, but certainly love the russian foreign minister is here as he was here, back in the foreign ministers summits in july. and it's important for the russians to try to show that they are not as ostracized as isolated in the u. s. and its allies would like. so it's important for the russians to be here equally important
4:16 pm
for the us and its allies to put on the united front and really to show the russian tell the russians of the rest of the world that they, they as one of the g 20 members are to blame for many of the problems now facing the rest of the 20 members. robin bryan reporting there. thank you very much. and the congress army and rebels are battling for control of the town of cuba in north cuba province. it's 25 kilometers from the regional capital goma. that is the closest the rebel group and $23.00 has come to the city since it began it's offensive in march. malcolm web is in go mount road, many take to flee. the conflict were just north of the city of goma, give them was about 5 kilometers that way, which is where the congo 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, we see none of the people coming down this road carrying whatever possessions they
4:17 pm
could grab before they fled. some of them said that they fled, he will move when the fighting started. others 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 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 kong, li, republican guard, the presidential god, who are the best trained and best equipped unit in the congo. these military, they were driving this way, reinforcements presumably going to the front to join in the fight. they're also the unit of the colonies. army has 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 on the
4:18 pm
like a government army that it was so heavily armed. the un peacekeepers were no longer equipped for 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 until 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 aided easton, congo, and the 1990 s. and they have been accused of backing militia to do the same thing repeatedly, ever since resulting in more than 2 decades. dividing complex here in eastern congo . we were here in 2008. we were here in 2012, and similar things happened when groups widely understood to be proxies of rwanda
4:19 pm
and was on the city of gamma was different. this time is a notable silence from the international community. the ukraine's military is assessing damage and the horses ridge enough. the russian troops fled president bullet. amir lensky says critical infrastructure was destroyed. work is underway to restore power and water supplies. people who lived under russian occupation or sharing their stories, lima who is lowered forecasts came and they told us it is because of your pro ukrainian position. i said you can shoot us down because we are ukrainians. we could not say a word. we could not say glory to ukraine. acid big is in the southern ukraine monitoring developments there. acid, this is day 2 and a half day 3, since the russians pulled out, of course on. what can you tell us about what's happening there at the moment?
4:20 pm
well, from reports there's been few russians shelling less russian shelling of the capital region a capital her son. but that is the thinking give that was the russians take time to withdraw and settling into their positions that will continue again. now the ukranian say that they've hitch russian targets on the east side of the denito reverse still within the region, of course on they said they had a position where burn $500.00 russian troops. station they say around 50 were taken to hospital and 16 later died. ukrainians also say that they have military equipment as well as anti aircraft missiles. now we can't independently verify any of these claims media. the access to me just really strict at the moment we've been trying to get access to that regional capital, the ukrainians haven't allowed to think they've been very selective of which media are allowed in. and since the start of the war, media freedom here has really got tighter and tighter. we've even been threatened with our media accreditation. been withdrawn, if we tried to go to the regional capital on our own. the ukrainians also said that
4:21 pm
they've targeted russian basis with the equipment, and they've also been showing some of the destruction that's taking place, the destruction to the antenna sky bridge with the raised the flag as well as the power supplies that's been hit and a russian base where they showed military equipment in the capital, of course, on the russia military equipment that been hit and left over russia and munitions. now elsewhere in the country, the ukrainian say that they've repelled 10 attacks and done it. and 2, in the hands, that's in the done best region, and the ministry say the fear says battles are taking place around the town of the eastern town where the russians are trying to make advances on 3 different axis. it's really intense that we were there back in may and earlier in october, the ukraine, the still holding on to the town, although the russians are trying to break through the ukrainian front lines. now, over the last few days we've been talking about the russian withdrawal and their ability to still strike not only the capture of her son,
4:22 pm
but the horse on region and further a fear that field and hair in michel, i of this city is best testimony to that this building behind me was struck on friday and 7 people were killed and that just goes to show that the russian forces are still dangerous and the still able to strike targets across the country with deadly consequences. i said, thank you very much. now in the past month key, there's come under more sustained attacks than at any time since the early weeks of the war, but between airstrikes, power cuts and sirens, the cities. 3000000 people live life as normally as they can. harry faucet spent the morning at the ukrainian capitals main registry office getting a sense of love in a time of war. on a cold, cloudy key of morning, families and friends celebrate a new union. it's a case of love between the air raid sirens. the bride and groom had to wait for the all clear before they could say their vows. inside small groups wait patiently for

4:34 pm
with the meeting between president biden and chinese presidents, some progress will be made to the world largest army bank. the indonesia president, been a great job in terms settings, the stomach being, you know, they're, they're talking about recovering together, recovering stronger. they definitely they have to reimburse topics in terms of local global health architecture. sustainable economic energy transition and digital transformation. things are definitely going to be some areas that us and china can try to work together. i'm, you know, they are vastly different countries with the different ideologies. but again, if they can just find common ground on the areas that are worth both of them beneficially, you know, they're for the common good and economic issues tend to be again, less hostile to discuss them than some of the political issues that they're going to be getting at at the summit as well. then again,
4:35 pm
that fingers crossed. hopefully it will create more market confidence ends and do something to address that we're currently israel's president has given benjamin netanyahu. the mandate, the form of government, the former prime minister, made a strong come back in a general election at the beginning of the month. that gave netanyahu is liquid party and it's far right allies, a clear majority in parliament. stephanie decker joins us from western and stephanie, this is the most right wing net. yeah. who's coalition partners have ever been in that saying something does that pose any challenges for him? yes, i think that there is one thing which is to, you know, run for office and other thing is to is to govern. and he has brought what was a fringe movement of the stream right wing now into the mainstream. the, the 3rd biggest block in parliament, and we were talking to a professor of political science who said yes. and he actually said,
4:36 pm
i don't think natalie, i was happy about it because he now has to balance internal politics. and even within israel society, you have concern particular the secular israelis about what is the most right wing and religious government. this country is ever had. at the same time, you have pressure also from the united states. they have made it clear that they're not happy with extreme right wing elements in government, you will have some of the major ministry is run by the extreme right wing leaders like it to more been given. we believe he may be appointed as the minister of public security, which means would be in charge of the police. the police of course, have authority in or around the lock. some also compound, they have authority in occupied east jerusalem. and this is a group with an ideology that calls for the annexation of the west bank. and you actually had us ambassador recently saying there will be push back in this kind of ideology gets put forward. and also big concern is the status quo. and the locks
4:37 pm
most compound because it to more been given is someone who has in the past tor, the compound calling for the right of jewish prayer, which is a red line, not just for palestinians, but for the wider muslim world. so you're talking about all these kinds of issues that benjamin netanyahu now has to balance. he is of course, extremely political savvy operators. so he knows that these will be challenges and we've just heard from him as he was allocated to form a government where he said that he was going to represent all of his role, those who voted for him. and even those who did vote for me said this is not just lip service. i mean that he knows that there are challenges with this government. but again, yes, he's got 28 days to form it. and so we're going to have to wait and see how specifically it's going to made up of what is clear as you say, the most far right wing and religious government in israel's history for stephanie decor reporting from was to rosalind. thank you very much. a polls have opened in slovenia, in the 2nd round of presidential election center, right,

4:55 pm
is sick last week, especially with the old buildings. historical buildings. it is. it is a symbol of early early turkish republic, architecture. and the latest time of the ottoman empire and very famous art architects have designed those buildings. and this is the, this is appear. this is like showing video of paris not a comparison, but in terms of its meaning. and it's, it's attraction to the terrorist. and for the last couple of years, many a rapturous company stumbled a shop in this area. 9 you're going to see lots of coffee restaurants. 9 shopping places, you can find everything that you need in the long run. you think from toxeme down to china. there are pops or bars, so it both during the day and during the night the area is very, very crowded. and there are so many business places around and there are so many
4:56 pm
hotels. a there are some media outlets, buildings around for i'm talking about the turkish national media and. 9 this is always very attractive area and for the last couple of years, as i sat around, i prefer to stay in this area. you never find any hotel mc, especially within the last 3 years, especially after, during the panoramic trickier is the measure against, against the cold 900 situations. that's why many people can travel to stumble without without any, any measures, any restrictions. let me say so the area is that the heart. a of stumble, very close to the historical penance fill out where we call the blue sky area. you have everything. this is the heart of the you have business, you have tourism. you have people you. a universities culture probably carries the
4:57 pm
spirit of is stumble. this is how i can describe toxeme and the truth itself for the stumble resident, what is the level of security readiness in a place like that in central is stumble. that is so busy, which is telling us moments ago that you know, obviously attacks like this one or something that is dumb will, has known in, in the past, in the not too distant past. yes, it's been a few years, but it is something is stumble was used to at one point in time. so what's the level of security readiness here? exactly, especially when the peace process would be with the crew to some workers failed a couple of years ago when president john frees the peace process, it's the best way to phrase it. we saw these kinds of attacks that was the time and it's tumble was time to but normally the p kid kate targets the rural areas,
4:58 pm

4:59 pm
there's an election coming up next to this is what the government is. marketing itself was saying that we finished there is and they were, they were terror attacks in the stumble in other cities as well. but we finished, i would think so this is, this is surprising for all of us actually living in this campbell, but i must say that the security measures are high around this area. this is very important towards the area to, to, to, to, to preserve safety and security in the area. in every corner, you might civilian police officers or with their uniforms. but you will see every way that sometimes when there is an event, when there's a pull, they're trying to steal the area to, to prevent any kind of provocation in the area. but this is an open area. you have everyone coming through the square and walking down the street. i remember
5:00 pm
back back then when they were these kinds of attacks happening, they were warning. people are trying to educate people on how to, how to detect if there's something, it's a specious around. you're telling me that if somebody is wearing a cold point in, in a warm weather, doing it wrong, whether you might suspect and you can warn to police, etc. but to be honest, 1st i need to go to the area with my camera, men, and i will learn more from the official by then we will hear some official statement. but this is surprising, both for tourists and for stumble raises. and this is very clear. and we are at some point going to let you go to the scene where this has occurred, but stay on the line with us for the moment because we're reaching the top of the hour. it is $1400.00 gmc and i would just want to reset for people.
