cheering celebrations marking an important and symbolic win in this bloody war. kherson now back in ukraine hands after eight months of russian occupation. president zelensky called it an historic day, "we are taking our country back," he said, but vladimir putin's spokesman denied the retreat was humiliating, with officials describing the withdrawal as merely a redeployment. kherson is strategically vital. the withdrawal allows the russians to use the dnipro river as a defensive barrier to protect earlier gains. as they left, russian engineers blew up part of the antonovski bridge. lines of troops can be seen using a temporary crossing,

before that was cut, too. speaking at a south east asian summit in cambodia, this morning the ukraine foreign minister said the fight would continue. we won the battle for kherson. kherson in the south, it was quite an exercise, i must say, but the war goes on and i understand that everyone wants this war to end as soon as possible, and we're definitely the ones who want it more than anybody else. the retreat did look better organized than some of russia's others in ukraine. not much left behind. a few dozen shells, mostly rubbish. cheering. for now, a time to celebrate but with russian guns only a few miles away, the people here are not out of danger.

david lumb, bbc news. earlier i spoke to our correspondent in kyiv catherine byaruhanga about what this means in the wider context of the war. the ukrainian officials are calling it a stabilisation process, they haven't moved all of their troops into kherson city at once, they have sentin into kherson city at once, they have sent in special units to try to take control of the city, we are still hearing there are some russian soldiers who were left behind following their retreat, we understand there are still some clashes with ukrainian forces and so the ukrainian government still needs to deal with those remnants of the russian forces that are also mines and on exploded and munitions all over kherson city and that is the next process. on top of that they have to think about rebuilding the city, it has been under russian

occupation for eight months, it has been at the centre opening tense battle. water, electricity had been cut off and they still need to bring in policemen, nurses, to rebuild the city that has been under russian occupation and not to mention the fact that the russian forces are now just across the river on the eastern bank of the dnipro river and there they are putting up their defences and so the fight will continue between the two forces. we and so the fight will continue between the two forces. we have some ictures of between the two forces. we have some pictures of the — between the two forces. we have some pictures of the approach _ between the two forces. we have some pictures of the approach along - pictures of the approach along towards the dam at nearby, there has been a lot of reporting about that, because we have talked about in your report as well about the first the suggestion is is that we have potential damage to a down —— the antonivskiy bridge. what we know about the dam? that antonivskiy bridge. what we know about the dam?—

minds of officials, both here in kyiv and in moscow, we don't know what has happened to it or who could have caused the damage of. earlier i spoke to the former head of ukraine's national security council, oleksander danylyuk, he told me what gaining kherson means for ukrainians. that is a feeling that across ukraine, _ that is a feeling that across ukraine, it's almost like a national holiday. _ ukraine, it's almost like a national holiday, everyone is cheering, congratulating each other. for me it is even _ congratulating each other. for me it is even more — congratulating each other. for me it is even more important because my military— is even more important because my military unit — is even more important because my military unit raised to serve before injury— military unit raised to serve before injury was— military unit raised to serve before injury was there, seeing the messages from them, sharing their impressions, about the population meeting _ impressions, about the population meeting ukrainian army. it's great, it's a _ meeting ukrainian army. it's great, it's a great— meeting ukrainian army. it's great, it's a great victory, but we understand that war is not over, russia _ understand that war is not over, russia wiii— understand that war is not over, russia will go into deep defence on the left _ russia will go into deep defence on the left bank and this is like... it

has beaten his republican rival for his seat in the us congress. his defeat of blake masters means the two parties now have 49 seats each in the senate. there are two races still to call — georgia and nevada — if the democrats win either, they will retain control of the senate. our north america correspondent, david willis, has the details. this is very, very good news for the democrats. they'll be extremely pleased with this result from arizona, given that inflation here is at a a0 year high and joe biden's approval ratings have sunk to a very low level, many people were predicting there will be some sort of rout on the part of the republicans, but it didn't materialise. and the democrats are on course to retain their majority in the upper house or maybe even enhance it. it comes down to two outstanding senate states. those are nevada and georgia.

nevada is said to be neck and neck. georgia, of course, we know, was so close that it's already gone to a runoff. so it may not be until the 6th of december when that runoff takes place that we know the full complexion of the upper house. but this is very good news for the democrats. they also, of course, have been widely predicted to lose a lot of seats in the house of representatives. and it appears that that's not been the case either. i've been speaking to christopher carman from the university of glasgow. i asked him whether the votes in arizona were processed quickly, to quell any doubts over the result. given what happened two years ago when many of the republicans i suggest that the election had been stolen. �* ., , suggest that the election had been stolen. �* . , ., , suggest that the election had been stolen. �* . , . , stolen. already we are seeing some of those allegations _ stolen. already we are seeing some of those allegations on _ stolen. already we are seeing some of those allegations on the - of those allegations on the republican side there have been

after months of occupation. in the us, the democrats have taken a step closer to retaining control of the senate, as mark kelly is re—elected in arizona. allies of the uk justice secretary dominic raab have defended his conduct, after reports he behaved aggressively towards staff during his previous stint in the role. reports appeared in the newspapers this morning, saturday, suggesting dominic rab had seen some of his staff leave his private office after being offered at the transfer when he returns to the government after rishi sunak was elected prime minister. the claims where he had been rude to them. reports suggest staff have been anxious about his return to thejustice department and had been offered the chance to transfer out because of his behaviour. and with me now is our political

correspondent, jonathan blake. it's not the first and there have been complaints about dominic rab because my behaviour, wants do we know about this allegation? that the know about this allegation? at the guardian has _ know about this allegation? at the guardian has spoken _ know about this allegation? at the guardian has spoken to _ know about this allegation? at the guardian has spoken to several- guardian has spoken to several people who worked or who were working at the ministry ofjustice and their use of various terms from and their use of various terms from a demeaning or too rude to aggressive to describe his behaviour, and they claim that civil servants were given the option on his reappointment asjustice his reappointment as justice secretary, under his reappointment asjustice secretary, under rishi sunak, to either leave or be transferred to a different department, given concerns they might have had about the way they might have had about the way they were treated before. there is talk of a climate of fear, a climate of fear. one allegation that dominic rab behaved as a bully. but in a statement a spokesperson for the jeopardy minister mack said he has high standards, he works hard and expects a lot from esteem as well as of himself, he said he has worked

well with officials to drive agenda across whitehall and always act with utmost professionalism, strong rejection of accusation. that statement reflects, as is the restatement from the ministry of justice, talking about high expectations and level of ambition among officials at the department of justice, the question is whether the behaviour has crossed the line, but it doesn't seem at this point that there is any formal complaint, certainly, or allegation against him. ~ ., ., certainly, or allegation against him. . ., , ., ., ., him. we had that resignation of gavin williamson _ him. we had that resignation of gavin williamson in _ him. we had that resignation of gavin williamson in the - him. we had that resignation of gavin williamson in the end - him. we had that resignation of gavin williamson in the end of. him. we had that resignation of i gavin williamson in the end of the stories that apparently somebody had informally complained to hr but not made a formal complaint, subsequently ministries can public they did make a formal complaint, clearly a different situation, he of course still has the prime minister e as thejustice secretary. is there a question of this government looks like it has a bit of form in the case of whether ministers sometimes

a great documentary and he was very candid about the experience. it began his broadcasting career and overtime led him out of politics. let's talk about somebody else who may be is on that trajectory, matt hancock, still an mp in suffolk, we had someone on the programme an hour ago saying he had turned down offers to be on reality tv, because he didn't want to be away from his constituents. matt hancock is in australia, has been getting a fair bit of luck, lost the party whip for going ahead without permission to do this, but he has actually said, out there, he is looking for something other than recognition, publicity for charity and the theme. lemon ikea is looking for forgiveness he said in last night was mike episode and it was the moment when the other demo elephant in the room was... he was asked about his resignation and about the government handling of the pandemic. this is bound to come up,

it led in many ways the government's response during a large part of the covid pandemic, he explained that he hadn't broken any laws but covid pandemic, he explained that he hadn't broken any laws— hadn't broken any laws but he had broken with _ hadn't broken any laws but he had broken with the _ hadn't broken any laws but he had broken with the guidance, - hadn't broken any laws but he had broken with the guidance, the - broken with the guidance, the problem was he said that it was his guidance, so why did he do it, the question from one of his camp mates, he said it was a mistake and it happened because he had fallen in love. he was challenged on that, one of the other contestants said she had lost an aunt to covid, couldn't go to and visit her in hospital, had to stand alone at the funeral, for her and otherfamilies to stand alone at the funeral, for her and other families who to stand alone at the funeral, for her and otherfamilies who have to stand alone at the funeral, for her and other families who have lost loved ones to covid, that explanation and apology would not cut it. but as you say, matt hancock was saying somewhat emotionally that he was looking for forgiveness, that... did he it was likely found sympathy among fellow contestants, the key will be in terms of his future as a politician, whatever he chooses to do, beyond parliament, how much the public, by and have

eventually you start being yourself, because you can't give it up unless you are an incredible... if... what i make of him is that he has told the truth, he wants forgiveness, but who from, may be from the public, but personally i think is many audience has been children. just on that, he clearly _ audience has been children. just on that, he clearly is _ audience has been children. just on that, he clearly is talking _ audience has been children. just on that, he clearly is talking about i that, he clearly is talking about covid, he is talking about his charity interests as well, inevitably there is a bit of promoting him, isn't that? presumably, to some extent he must recognise that it is going to be hard for him to stand again as an mp, may not even be allowed to if he doesn't get the web back, of course he could stand as an independent, records of them winning in that it is pretty low, doesn't happen very often, realistically, this is a man who is looking beyond politics? that who is looking beyond politics? git the jury is out on that, i have lost my seat, partly because of my celebrity profile, maybe i was naive about that in 2010, but then nadine
