chanting. kherson�*s residents emerged from their homes as the first ukrainian soldiers reached the main square. chanting continues. for them, it's the end of more than eight months under occupation. plenty to celebrate, but they are not out of danger — russia's guns are only a few miles away across the river. as they left, russian engineers blew a section of the antonovski bridge over the dnipro. at dawn, long lines of russian troops seemed to be using a temporary crossing under the main damaged structure. the russian claim is that 30,000 soldiers and more than 5,000 pieces of equipment left kherson before the bridges were blown. the ukrainian forces pushed forward. the final russian departure happened much faster than anyone expected.

we received these pictures from a special forces unit, taken as they poked around a camp the russians had abandoned. here, at least, this retreat looks better organised than some of russia's others in ukraine — that's because, apart from a few dozen shells, most of what they left was rubbish and not equipment ukraine can use against them. president zelensky told ukrainians that this was an historic day — they were taking their country back. cheering. the people of kherson kept the liberation party going. what's happened deepens the ukrainian conviction that they can beat russia. ukrainians can celebrate tonight. there'll be harder times ahead. jeremy bowen, bbc news, in ukraine. ukrainians have been celebrating across the country.

0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet reports from the capital, kyiv. singing. this is the mood here in the centre of kyiv tonight — a night of celebration on what president zelensky describes as an historic day. look at the banners they are holding here, "kherson is ukraine," written in the colours of the ukrainian flag. they have been singing here for hours, singing popular songs like this, singing the ukrainian national anthem. this is the most significant victory for ukrainian forces in some time and certainly one of the most significant reversals for the russians. president zelensky says that ukrainian forces are now joining its special units in the centre of kherson. we've spoken to people here tonight who believe that moments like this are bringing the end of the war closer, bringing them closer to the victory they have always believed was possible. but this war is far from over. this is a city that is

suffering from power cuts because of russian strikes on the energy infrastructure. it also suffers from russian attacks. and the concern is that with this humiliation yet again for president putin's forces, it's just a matter of time before he strikes again. but that's not on the mind of these celebrations tonight. lyse doucet. we can now speak tojohn herbst, senior director of the eurasia center at the atlantic council and a former us ambassador to ukraine. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. this time yesterday, i was talking to one analyst who was not convinced that this withdrawal was going to happen at all and 2a hours later, it seems to have been completed. it's extraordinary how quickly it happened, isn't it? it how quickly it happened, isn't it? . ., , how quickly it happened, isn't

an extraordinary victory —— kharkiv. to victory made possible because of the arms that the united states and other nato members have sent, starting in latejune early july. starting in latejune early july- my starting in latejune early july. my sense is that if we were to send more advanced weapons like the attacker missiles they have long requested and we still refuse to send, ukraine, and tanks and armoured personnel characters are for carriers, ukraine will be able to lodge a significant offensive further to the east and the south and maybe even cut the land bridge to crimea. but we would have to help them by providing the necessary equipment. is by providing the necessary equipment-— by providing the necessary equipment. is that going to happen? — equipment. is that going to happen? the _ equipment. is that going to happen? the us _ equipment. is that going to happen? the us has - equipment. is that going to happen? the us has been i equipment. is that going to - happen? the us has been talking quite a lot about wanting dialogue to play a big part in this. i dialogue to play a big part in this. ~ , ., , ., , this. i think it is a serious mistake _ this. i think it is a serious mistake by _ this. i think it is a serious mistake by the _ this. i think it is a serious - mistake by the administration. we now have the kremlin soldiers on their heels and now is the time to help ukraine make more advances, to free ukrainians who are living under terror, under russian occupation, and to talk about

negotiations, at this point, ways to vladimir putin's sense of the west is weak and he could outlast ukraine so these are a tactical and human strategic error on the heart of the bidens administration. before on the part. in terms of this withdrawal from kherson, do you think the people celebrating tonight our right to think it has brought them one step closer to victory? it one step closer to victory? it has. but there are many steps to go. and ukraine does not want there to be another ceasefire in place. moscow keeps many of the land that has conquered since february and then they rest and come back and take more of ukraine. that's why it's really important for ukraine to continue this counteroffensive and to do that, they need more help from us, from the west, and especially the united states. ., ~' , ., , and especially the united states. ., ~ , ., , . and especially the united states. ., ~ , . ., states. thank you very much for “oininu states. thank you very much for joining us- _ states. thank you very much for joining us- john _ states. thank you very much for joining us. john herbs— states. thank you very much for joining us. john herbs from - states. thank you very much for joining us. john herbs from the l joining us. john herbs from the atlantic council. my pleasure. —— john herbst. let's get some of the day's other news.

to meet its own targets. france and italy have been trading criticism over the handling of a migrant rescue ship. the ocean viking, which had 230 people on board, has been allowed to dock in the french port of toulon, after being refused entry to italian ports. mark lowen reports from rome. arriving into safe harbour, but sailing into a diplomatic crisis between france and italy, the ocean viking, which rescued migrants coming from libya, but whom italy refused to take in. and so france agreed to welcome the ship instead. the migrants on board had been blocked for days. italy finally allowed three other vessels to dock, declaring france would take this one. but it seems paris hadn't agreed — seeing italy's announcement as a way of forcing a deal, behaviour it called reprehensible. translation: many | people were very sick. italy has been very inhumane in handling the situation.

the italian authorities were not professional. they left this boat there for 20 days without making any decisions. italy's new prime minister, giorgia meloni, hit back. the country has long argued it unfairly bears the migration burden. but there's also domestic politics here, with a far right leader wanting to please her base. translation: i was struck by the aggressive reaction l from the french government, which, from my point of view, is incomprehensible and unjustified. what exactly makes them so angry that italy must be the only possible port of disembarkation for migrants in the mediterranean? i don't think that's right. some on board had to be flown to a french hospital. italy says almost 90,000 migrants have arrived here this year while the ocean viking is the first ngo boat france has accepted. but the french far right still seized the moment, condemning president macron's move.

translation: he makes people believe that he is opposed - to massive and illegal immigration, when in reality he is its defender, its promoter, and if i may say so, this act, this decision that has just been taken is the greatest symbol of it. this was the moment the migrants heard they'd be allowed into france after a treacherous journey and days blocked at sea. the latest pawns in the migration battle dividing the eu. theirjourney for now may be over, but the storm between two eu allies is whipping up. mark lowen, bbc news, rome. one of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchanges, ftx, has begun bankruptcy proceedings in the united states. the firm has been struggling to deal with investors attempting to withdraw billions of dollars from its online platform. earlier, techcrunch reporter

anita ramaswamy explained the day's events. it is a complicated story, but the balance sheet was revealed essentially, and that report led to the ceo of a rival exchange, binance, which is the biggest crypto exchange in the world firing off a bunch of tweets that raised questions about ftx's solvency. overnight the company essentially went from a darling of the crypto industry that everyone thought was very stable, to being something which came underfire and under question because of close ties that it had to its sister entity alameda research, and a lot of its value was locked up in its own token, so ftx had created this token called ftt, and a lot of its value was based on the value of ftt which is not backed by anything. and it is extraordinary how quick this all happened, isn't it, it shows you how vulnerable it is. it happened so fast, and nothing is ever as it seems in crypto, this happened seemingly overnight and sam bankman—fried,

the ceo and founder of ftx was held in very high regarding the crypto industry. he was seen as a figurehead for the entire secular, and so see his company fall from grace so quickly and to know that they have these underlying issues this whole time, and didn't reveal that to the public, is very troubling. so what was it, did he stretch himself too thin, did he try to do too much, what was the problem? i believe there was a little bit more intent behind it than that. you know, new information is coming to light every single day on this topic at this point, but they had raised, they had raised an evaluation of $32 billion as recently as september. so they were not being honest or transparent with customers about their liquidity position, and furthermore there has been some evidence to show that they might have improperly used customer funds to cover some of that shortfall. right. and the important issue of customers and what happens to them, and in terms of getting their money back? yeah.

i mean, right now it is uncertain and it is unclear. ftx halted withdrawal and the us entity also did the same today. so people can't get their money out, and there were some anecdotes because the one jurisdiction that people tried to get their money out today was in the bahamas, where they actually are headquartered. so some people were sending requests and doing these complicated transactions when they were located outside of the bahamas, getting people in the bahamas to take out crypto and funds on their behalf. so withdrawals have been all but halted for people around the world, and it will be really tough and only time will tell you that ftx is actually going to be able to return this money to customers, especially if they go through bankruptcy. what can crypto firms do to try and restore confidence, because this is going to do a lot of damage? it already has, but at the end of the outcomes and transparency. you see a lot of firms in the coming weeks released approve exams, a lot of exchanges will try to show they have enough liquidity, that they are in a strong

financial position, but there are still a lot of private companies in the space and transparency is really lacking, that is what is going to differentiate customers who are going to win over customer trust versus those who cannot, people who are providing the most information disclosure as possible. but even then it will be very hard for the public to regain their trust in crypto after a huge event like this. anita ramaswamy there. a senior reporterfrom a senior reporter from techcrunch with the latest on the ftx collapse. twitter has started removing fake accounts that have multiplied since elon musk�*s takeover, suspending sign—ups for a new paid checkmark system and reinstating a grey official badge on some accounts. us regulators say they're concerned about staff upheavals at twitter, as top officers for privacy and compliance are among the latest executives to resign. the federal trade commission warned musk that he was not above the law. after more than 90 years of showcasing other people's stories, britain's oldest amateur film—making club is finally in the spotlight itself. a documentary about bradford film makers' work has made it to the big screen — and to rave reviews. our arts correspondent david sillito went along to meet them.

we are a group of keen amateurfilm—makers. the bradford movie makers, they have been making films since 1932 with lots of enthusiasm, but not a lot of success. however, things have changed. i would like to remake oklahoma where i am riding a white stallion. the film a bunch of amateurs is a documentary about the club. it tells the story of people like harry... # oh, what a beautiful morning...# ..here doing his version of oklahoma. and the documentary has been getting rave reviews. harry has been all over. you've been to bafta. i've been to bafta, i've been to london twice in this last week. are you getting used

to the showbusiness lifestyle? colin has been a member for more than 50 years and this is his first premiere. this is more my line, you know. it's cine, you know. oh, it's dropped out again. this is a special day for you. yeah, oh, yeah. i'm looking forward to it, yeah. but this is about more than just a hobby. a lot of the members are carers. the idea of the film began whenjoe, a disability support volunteer, posted a message online about loneliness and isolation. you talk about very personal things in this, depression. oh, yeah, i've had that for many years, for my sins. in filming i can actually show the story of my life on film

if i wanted. i think what happens in this film, we are all going to get old, we are all going to be looking for something to do with our minds, we are all going to be looking for a community, we may lose our loved ones, and i think this club is like an amazing alternative family. it's five, everybody. and then there is the main event, the hometown gala premiere. in 90 years of movie—making, there have been no glamorous premieres, many ups and downs, so today for the bradford movie makers it's quite a moment. applause david sillito, bbc news, bradford. kevin conroy, who was best—known as the voice of the caped crusader in batman: the animated series, has died at the age of 66. he first took on the iconic role of bruce wayne 30 years

that is all for me for this half—hour. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @lucyegrey. thanks very much for watching. hello. this exceptionally mild weather is producing some remarkable temperatures — 19.5 degrees celsius in lancashire on friday, 19.1 at lossiemouth in murray. so, what's going on? we've got a big dip in thejet stream to the west of the uk and it's around the base of this dip we're drawing up close to the azores, some of this exceptionally mild air ourway. so temperatures are so far above average for the time of year. in fact, on thursday night, provisionally, according to the met office, both scotland and northern ireland had their warmest november nights on record. and of course, climate change is not just about those big headline—grabbing daytime temperatures, it's how far we keep warmth overnight as well. very windy on friday across northern areas, and yet more rain in the highlands. in fact, achnagart since monday has had 258 millimetres of rain, some months worth of rain in a week.

a lot of that rain has gone this weekend keeping the very mild weather. not as windy, though, and that does increase the risk of seeing some mist and some fog and actually a cooler start to the day for saturday, in fact. and the clear skies in north—east scotland, low single figures in some spots, six or seven degrees in east anglia with a lot of low cloud and mistiness across a large part of wales and england. northern ireland seeing some overnight rain clearing away as that trundles north across scotland. behind it will brighten up, though, still the cloud thick enough in a few spots for a bit of drizzle. some eastern parts of england may stay with some low cloud, whereas for much of england and wales will turn sunnier. a cooler day, but still very mild for scotland, northern ireland, northern england, through much of england and for wales we're talking 16 to 18 degrees celsius. and yes, those lighter winds allowing more in the way of low cloud and mist and fog to form as we go overnight and into sunday morning, thick enough for some drizzle in places, particularly through eastern scotland, central and eastern parts of england, a milder start to the day on sunday. so for remembrance sunday, then, a grey, misty, murky start in many places. and although for many places it will brighten up and get

to see some sunshine. there'll be some spots from eastern scotland and down through central and eastern parts of england that could well hold on to some grey conditions, maybe quite widely into yorkshire. another very mild day out there, wind freshening in the west and rain to northern ireland as we go on into the evening. and the main feature of the weather for the week ahead is that temperatures are going to come down much closer to average, spells of strong winds and heavy rain at times.
