survive. president zelensky says russian troops destroyed all the critical infrastructure in kherson — including water, heating and electricity — before they abandoned the city. ukrainian officials have imposed a curfew there, because of what they say is a continuing security threat. ukraine regained control of the city, after moscow said 30,000 russian troops were pulled out of the area yesterday. but there are reports that the kremlin�*s forces are making new fortifications on the left bank of the dnipro river. fears have also been expressed after satellite images show significant new damage to a major dam in the area. james waterhouse reports from 0desa. 36 miles north of kherson, is a reminder that liberation is rarely simple. this is the kakhovka dam, one of the ukraine's biggest hydro electric power plants. it's not clear who did this. a section's clearly been destroyed. if it collapsed, more than 80 locations would be flooded,
12:06 am
including kherson. for now, the city's full of relief and celebration. the sight of ukrainian soldiers marks the end of eight months of russian occupation. recovery will take longer. translation: before fleeing from kherson, the occupiers i destroyed all critical infrastructure — communication, water supply, heat, electricity. russian forces everywhere have the same goal — mockery of people as much as possible. but we will restore everything, believe me. russian forces may have retreated across the dnipro river, but they haven't gone away. we have been warned yesterday by our general staff of the ukraine armed forces that the russians are making new fortification on the left bank side of the dnipro river and there is a likelihood of massive artillery shelling.

at a south—east asia summit in cambodia, a warning that other countries could follow in russia's footsteps if nothing is done. violation of borders, use of force, - committing mass atrocity against l civilian population, if anyone in the world sees that - russia can get away easily with all of this, then - someone will be tempted to follow the suit. - ukraine forcing russia out completely is still a long way off, but, in a war which brings more bad news than good, this is a country savouring kherson�*s liberation. james waterhouse, bbc news, 0dessa. 0ur international editor jeremy bowen is in ukraine, and sent us this update a little earlier from the road into kherson. the ukrainians have a lot to celebrate. they have scored a
12:08 am
major victory over the he russians more quickly than they expected. while the russians have left behind a great deal of damage, for now the ukrainians are not focussing on that, because they believe they have taken a giant step to victory. now, they will to deal with the changed strategic situation, because by withdrawing across the river, the russians have stabilised this section of the front and they say they have taken more than 30,000 troops out with them. those are troops who could have been killed trying to stay in kherson who now can be deployed elsewhere. that is why ukraine will continue to push nato for more and better weapons for the battles they face in the forthcoming winter months. , , �* .,

mateusz lachowski, is a polish war correspondent who is covering the russian invasion of ukraine for the polsat television broadcaster — he spoke to us earlier from the liberated city of kherson. as you see, there is a complete blackout, because there is no electricity. not water. but there is extraordinaryjoy of liberation, i think, joy of freedom. kerr herson is liberated and the russians were here two days ago. today a lot of people rejoice, greet the soldiers and they are liberated. it was crazy what has been happening on the streets of kherson today. for me, it was, ithink streets of kherson today. for me, it was, i think that the most happiness moment in
12:10 am
ukraine. i'm here from february and it was... i haven't words, because it's, it was you know, extraordinary experience. the ima . es extraordinary experience. the images that — extraordinary experience. the images that we _ extraordinary experience. the images that we are looking at are the images that you have been filming and we are seeing people take down russian propaganda. this was an area that vladimir putin had declared as being part of russia after those fake referendumsed that had taken place. what we are seeing are people relieved to have the russians out?— russians out? yes, yes, in september— russians out? yes, yes, in september russian - russians out? yes, yes, in - september russian authorities reported that in referendums. even over 85% of voters in kherson region wanted to join
12:11 am
russia. today i saw crowds welcoming ukrainian forces. i think that is russian again lying, as usual. but like you see, i show what happens to russians in kherson. all the younger man and woman use anything they have to destroy russian propaganda symbols. it was, yeah, for ukrainian, i think that they said me it was for them a great day. yesterday. 11 of november, yes. and today, 12th. it was totally you know crazy, because the city's not destroyed a lot of people are in kherson. they are waiting for the liberators and the ukrainian soldiers came and liberated the city.—
12:12 am
two planes crash at an air show in texas. as people celebrate the ukrainian city of kherson being retaken after months of russian occupation, volodymyr zelensky said russian troops destroyed nearly everything. the us democrats now need just one more seat to keep their control of the senate, after the democratic senator for arizona, the former astronaut, mark kelly, beat his republican rival for his seat in the us congress. blake masters' defeat meanss the two parties now have 49 seats each in the senate. there are two races still to call — georgia and nevada. in his first speech since the results were announce, mr kelly celebrated his victory with his supporters in pheonix. after a long election, it can be tempting to remain focussed
12:13 am
on the things that divide us. but we have seen the consequences that come when leaders refuse to accept the truth and focus more on conspiracies of the past than solving the challenges that we face today. earlier we spoke to ameshia cross, political analyst and democratic strategist. i started asking how the defeat of many republican candidates endorsed by donald trump will affect his political future. he absolutely did and it's actually quite funny, because a lot of the republican candidates who donald trump endorsed, many were election deniers and that was the hill they chose to die on, including the secretary of state candidate. this is just another sign that the trump era in terms of electability and trying to shake down our democracy, those days are over. so those days are over, we are waiting still for nevada, georgia
12:14 am
will have a reheat. with nevada, again, it is very tight, but we have got for the republicans somebody that donald trump endorsed. what do you think the result will be there? if you would dare to call it? nevada is going to be a democratic win as well. now the outstanding ballots that will be counted, are from highly liberal—leaning counties. and that bodes well for the democrats. if we get enough of those votes, then it quite frankly won't matter about next week, the way the votes are counted, it takes longer, because they also do vote match id match and things like that. they will happen next week. if the lead is high enough over the next he next two days we should know where we stand. do you think the democrats
12:15 am
can hold the senate? yes, all the democrats need is two seats. if they get arizona and nevada, the democrats would be in the same place we were over the past two years, but georgia, i think georgia will go blue as well, we will have two plus one and that will be a good sign forjoe biden. do you think that will mean he will run again in 202a. not potential, he is definitely running in 2024. you sound very strong on that. let's face it, there are still lots of concerns and you know his age being one of them, the economy being something very much at the forefront of american voters' minds, how does he work that through? frankly, the economy in america is strong. 0ur issue is inflationary costs that are issues across the pond as well. inflation has created a bevvy of concerns for this administration, as well as several others across the globe, as a result of trying to come back
12:16 am
from the pandemic. we see this president passed the inflation act and working to push morejob access, accountability, and to ensure that our nation gets back on track, reduce the cost of pharmaceutical drugs and make life easier for middle and low income earner, middle and low income earners, controlling the rising cost of rents and mortgages. he is working for american people. republicans don't like to throw shade, they don't have any policy ideas. i believe that the biden/harris administration is doing what they need to be and it is proof that many americans think so as well. you talk of republicans not having the ideas, but yet almost half of the voting electorate, voting population, are voting for them? £311" electorate, voting population, are voting for them? our sides don't necessarily _ are voting for them? our sides don't necessarily show- are voting for them? our sides
12:17 am
don't necessarily show that. if| don't necessarily show that. if that were the case we would have a higher amount of republicans that would take the house. that is not the case. democrats will maintain control of the senate. the red wave that republicans predicted is not that. the it looks more like diabetics who have to take that finger prick more than a red wave. donald trump is being kicked out of the people and more people who rr commentators or people in his own cabinet coming out against this man. the republicans are in disarray and the democrats have policies that americans choose and specifically choosing to be abortion. that was not the smartest move on the part of the republicans, in addition to running crazy anticrimes campaigns that the numbers didn'tjive campaigns that the numbers didn't jive with campaigns that the numbers didn'tjive with and not having a plan of action for anything. you can't run on sheer personality alone. they didn't have policy and they're

12:19 am
by global warming. the activists, many of them africans, insisted there could be no climate change justice without human rights. the protests came as several countries proposed dropping the target of keeping the rise in global temperatures below 1.5 celsius — a move us secrertary of state said couldn't happen scientists injapan have found that rats have an innate ability to move to music. the researchers — from the university of tokyo — fitted highly sensitive devices to ten of the creatures — to record their movements. and they found that they bopped their heads to a range of different genres — from classical masterpieces, to modern pop hits. here's the leader researcher. historically in this field, many people

use mozart's sonata, because it was used for a long time in this kind of experiment. some of us believe that music is special to human culture, but i believe its origin is somehow inherited from our progenitors and maybe at least from rats. keith levene, a founding member of the clash and later guitarist for public image ltd, has died aged 65 from liver cancer. levene founded the clash with mickjones in the 1970s but left before they became successful. he then joined public image limited, the post—punk band set up byjohn lydon after he left the sex pistols. an iranian man who lived in a paris airport for 18 years has died. mehran karimi nasseri made a small area of roissy charles de gaulle airport his home in 1988, after he was caught
12:21 am
in a diplomatic limbo. his experience inspired the 2004 film, the terminal, starring tom hanks. mr nasseri was eventually given the right to live in france, but he ended up returning to the airport a few weeks ago, where he died of natural causes, according to airport officials. the folk starjoni mitchell has given a rare interview to her friend, and fellow musician, sir eltonjohn. it comes seven years after she survived a brain aneurysm and just a couple of months after she made a tentative return to the stage in america. bbc music correspondent, mark savage, has been given an exclusive preview. # don't it always seem to go # that you don't know what you've joni mitchell started singing in small clubs in western canada and her heartfelt lyrics propelled to worldwide fame.

but in 2015, a brain aneurysm robbed her of the ability to walk and talk. her recovery took years. since then she has only made occasional public appearances and she had to re—learn guitar by watching old videos of herself on youtube. then over the summer this happened. # ice cream castles in the air...# joni mitchell back and stage — herfirst full live show in 20 years. cheering and applause. the star recently sat down with sir eltonjohn to reflect on the performance. the newport folk festival you played guitar and you sang and it is extraordinary to see how music has brought you back to life. yes. you stood up and played guitar. i had to figure out what i did
12:23 am
and i couldn't sing, i had become an alto and i could not sing the song and i thought people would feel... if| if ijust if i just played if ijust played the guitar port. but i like the guitar part. and it was very well received, to my delight. as they discussed her career, she said she felt classic albums like blue had not received the recognition they deserve. at the time, no, it took a lot of flak if anything. you know, people thought it was too intimate. it was almost like dylan going electric. it upset the male singer song writers, they thought do we have to bear our souls? it made people nervous. it took to this generation, they seem to be able to face those
12:24 am
emotions more easily than my generation. the interview took place in her california living room where, during her recovery, she hosted regularjoni jams with fellow musicians. it was the end of that discussion, sir elton made a proposal. one day i want to sit in this room but with some recording equipment and make an album in this room. like johnny cash, and he was on his deathbed and you are not going to be on your deathbed but i think you should make an album in this room. every corner of this room isjoni mitchell. the only time we have recorded in this room was when i was about on the balcony. # ice cream castles in the air...# if sir elton gets his way, it would bejoni mitchell's first new music since 2007. for now, fans would simply be overjoyed to see the star back

12:27 am
england and scotland, shetland starting off with some low cloud and some fog as well. some of that will lift and clear to leave sunny spells but it may be that across parts of the east midlands in lincolnshire and yorkshire, he could stay quite great and murky for much of the day and elsewhere, will see some spells of sunshine starting to turn quite breezy across western parts ahead of this weatherfront, this band of cloud and rain. temperatures this time of year this afternoon should get between eight and 13 degrees for sunday, we are expecting heights of 12 to 18 degrees. so, still well above where we should be and then through sunday evening, we'll see this band of rain pushing across northern ireland and west wales the far southwest of england and scotland for the eastern half of the uk, we will again see some areas of low clouds and fog. a little bit chilly for some eastern parts generally, it is another mild night and then for monday, we bring this band of clouds and rain eastward. it will tend to weaken as it goes and as we get late

low cloud, behind the rain band, we should see clear skies, more sunshine for northern ireland, wales and the southwest of england still 16 degrees in london but most places are little bit less mild by this stage. then through tuesday, this frontal system will bring some heavy rain for many, in the middle of the week, further weather systems running of the atlantic with a chance for some wet and potentially quite windy weather. so, an unsettled week ahead but we lose some of that mild feel, and temperatures closer to where they should be.
