to retaining control of the us senate, as mark kelly is re—elected in arizona. from mozart to lady gaga, scientists find that rats have rhythm and are able to dance to the beat, just like humans. two vintage planes have collided and crashed at an air show in the us state of texas. footage shows the two striking each other at a low altitude, breaking one of the aircraft in half. a fireball can be seen as it hits the ground. the planes, one of them a boeing b—17 flying fortress, were taking part in a commemorative air show near dallas. it's unclear how many people were on board. aviation officials have launched an investigation.

a short while ago hank coates, the president and ceo of the commemorative air force, a group dedicated to the preservation of world war ii combat aircraft, gave an update on the situation. at approximately 1:15pm today we had to aircraft flying, one was a b—17 and one was a p63. the b—17 normally has a crew of 4-5. that the b—17 normally has a crew of 4—5. that is what was on the aircraft. the p63 was a single piloted fighter type aircraft. there was an incident that is being investigated by the faa right now, so the families are being taken care of, they are receiving counselling, notjust receiving counselling, not just of receiving counselling, notjust of those who actually participated in the issue but also the cef folks and any folks here who may have seen it and have issues with what they saw, and obviously with our first responders, we want to make sure that they are supported as well. i'm joined now by chris kratovil, who was at the airshow when

the crash happened. thank you so much forjoining us here on bbc news. you were present at the airshow. this was a three—day event commemorating veterans�* day. awkus three how the day was progressing?— awkus three how the day was huroressin? , . ~ i. ., progressing? yes, thank you for havin: progressing? yes, thank you for having me- _ progressing? yes, thank you for having me- it — progressing? yes, thank you for having me. it is— progressing? yes, thank you for having me. it is an _ progressing? yes, thank you for having me. it is an annual- having me. it is an annual event here in dallas, called wings over dallas. it involves being able to look at world war ii aircraft on the ground, and the second half of the show is those aircraft flying and putting on a demonstration. it is narrated, they played patriotic and world war ii era music as the planes fly by. i have attended this many times and i had my 12—year—old daughter chelsea with me, who loves history and particularly world war ii history, and we were watching what they call the parade of bombers, so b-i7s, b-zss, b-zss the parade of bombers, so b—i7s, b—25s, b—25s and other world war ii era bombers, going over sequentially. they also

simulate the fighter aircraft escorts, that would have accompanied those bombers from england to germany, and there is a narrator, an announcer talking about the p—51 mustangs escorting the b—i7s on their raids over germany. as this was happening, suddenly the b—i7, and aircraft called the texas raider was the name of this particular aircraft, burst into flames. a fireball in the air, maybe four or 500 yards in front of me and my daughter, over the field. and my first thought was, well, this must be a simulation, this is part of the show, this is a pyrotechnic effect, special effect of some sort. but as i watched that huge, historic, four engined bomber plummeted to the ground, i thought, this is not a simulation, this is really happening. one of the last b—i7 flying fortresses in the world is crashing right in front of my eyes, and it was a horrible

thing to witness, i�*ve never seen anything like it and i hope to never see anything like it again. we hope to never see anything like it aaain. ~ ., hope to never see anything like it auain.~ . , it again. we have seen the footaae it again. we have seen the footage leading _ it again. we have seen the footage leading up - it again. we have seen the footage leading up to - it again. we have seen the footage leading up to that | footage leading up to that moment, and footage is available online that shows that dramatic incidents that you havejust that dramatic incidents that you have just described, that dramatic incidents that you havejust described, and it is a shocking tragedy. how did people on the ground react, you mentioned you had your 12 month __ my mentioned you had your 12 month —— my 12 year daughter with you, how is she coping? she -- my 12 year daughter with you, how is she coping? she is very quiet. _ you, how is she coping? she is very quiet. i — you, how is she coping? she is very quiet, i think _ you, how is she coping? she is very quiet, i think she - you, how is she coping? she is very quiet, i think she is - very quiet, i think she is still processing it, as everybody who is —— who witnessed it. the dallas police estimate of the crowd was anywhere between 5000 and 6000 people, which is a lot of people, which is a lot of people to witness something like that, and i�*ve never seen a crowd go more quiet or more still injust the a crowd go more quiet or more still in just the blink of an eye. it went from being a fairly excited, energetic crowd of patriotic music playing, to complete silence and stillness and just one moment, i have never seen a crowd react like that, but we all knew that we will witnessing something

terrible, something that we didn�*t want to see, and the reality of itjust hits and a lot of people, including myself, turned their children towards them and away from the airfield because there was burning wreckage in the middle of the airfield.— of the airfield. chris, thank ou so of the airfield. chris, thank you so much _ of the airfield. chris, thank you so much for— of the airfield. chris, thank you so much forjoining - of the airfield. chris, thankj you so much forjoining us, of the airfield. chris, thank- you so much forjoining us, and thank you for sharing your experience.— in ukraine, president volodymr zelensky has said 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 nearby major dam. the bbc�*s james waterhouse reports. 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, 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 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 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, odessa. our international editor jeremy bowen is in ukraine and sent us this update from the road into kherson. the ukrainians have a lot to celebrate. they have scored a 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. jeremy bowen. let�*s get some of the day�*s other news. 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 means the 2 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. now, after a long election, it can be tempting to remain focused 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.

ameshia cross is a political analyst and democratic strategist. 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. all the democrats is 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. at least 22 people have been killed and more than six injured in a bus crash in northern egypt on saturday. 35 passengers were onboard when the accident happened in aga town, some 146 kilometres northeast of cairo. wendy urquhart reports. a faulty steering wheel caused the bus to veer off course, overturn and veer into a canal in dekalia province, according to local media in egypt. police and emergency services were deployed to the scene and officers quickly cordoned off the area, while others pulled survivors out of the water. the injured have been taken to several different hospitals and some are in serious condition. translation: fit some are in serious condition. translation:— some are in serious condition. translation: of the in'ured we received, one * translation: of the in'ured we received, one patient_ translation: of the injured we received, one patient has - translation: of the injured we received, one patient has a - received, one patient has a

it was too intimate. it was almost like dylan going electric. it upset the male singer—songwriters. they thought, "do we have to bear our souls?" i think it made people nervous. more nervous than... it took to this generation — they seem to be able to face those 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 their discussion sir elton made a proposal. one day, i want you to sit in this room, like we�*re doing now, but with some recording equipment and i want you to make an album in this room. likejohnny cash, and he was on his deathbed — and you are not going to be on your deathbed — but i think you should make
