companies and countries are rethinking everything and making make changes. you reviewed this week on d, w. ah ah, ah, this is dw news live from berlin. control of the u. s. congress hangs in the balance as mid term election results. comment and republicans are likely to regain control of the house of representatives, but it's not the mid term wipe out. democrats were fearing us. president joe biden

calls it a good day for democracy. he praises his party's strong showing, and tuesday's boat and vows to find common ground with republicans also on the show or potentially serious setback for russia in its war on ukraine. russia's defense minister confirming that moscow is owing troops out of the key city, a. her son in open just think of football or v like figure kept themselves in the mix at the top of the table with a solid 31 victory against high flying fry war on wednesday night. ah. hello i am clare richardson, thanks so much for joining us. in the united states, midterm election results are pointing to a surprisingly strong show in for president biden's democrats. his party is doing better than poles predicted, but there are still many races to call in the battle for con,

which will set the country's course for the next 2 years. at the moment republicans have the lead in the race for the house of representatives. americans voted for lawmakers for the entire house, so far, 183 out of the 435 seats have gone to the democrats and 206 to the republicans. now let's have a closer look at the senate, starting with the seats that are not up for grabs in this election. if you add in those newly decided seats, you can see that the republicans are slightly ahead with 49 seats. and the democrats with 48 seats so far, and vice president common le harris able to cast a tie breaking votes. the republicans would need 51 from majority. 3 seats still open, arizona, georgia, and nevada. some of the margins are razor thin, and it is still too early to draw any conclusions when he was president, joe biden praised his party surprisingly strong, showing in his 1st public remarks since the vote. we had an election yesterday

and it was a good day. i think for democracy and i think there's a good day for america. shoot me a little hoarse. our democracy has been tested in recent years, but with their votes, the american people have spoken improve. once again, that democracy is who we are. while the press in the pundents are predicting a giant red wave, it didn't happen. and i know you were somewhat miffed by my my obsession optimism. but i felt good during the whole process. i thought were going to do fine while any seat last is painful. some good democrats didn't when the last night, democrats had a strong name. so let's get across to our correspondents to me. so i was kinda in washington d. c. so we, we just heard a bite in their calling these results a good day for democracy. how good are they for his party, the democrats?

well, certainly a better day than was expected clare. you know, we talked about the fact that historically the party that is in the white house usually gets punished at the midterm elections. and that's not what we saw, that red wave or red synonymy, that the polls had indicated that the republic republicans would come in and sweep through congress that didn't actually play out in these elections. instead, we saw these key races, the democrats, who were in battles and key races in the house of representatives. and even in the senate, managed to hold on to their seats. i just pointing to the state of virginia. that's what a lot of democratic observers and pundits today are pointing towards a 2 embattled democrats. they are managed to fend off their republican opponents. and that seemed to give the democrats a lot of momentum. one key factor that president biden himself a pointed to in that address said he delivered earlier today was the youth vote. so 18 to 2929 year olds. they turned out in record numbers and states like michigan and in wisconsin. and they really were instrumental in delivering some important

victories. so to the democrats, so all, all, certainly democrats are seeing this as a far better day than they had expected. of course, at the end of the day, it does look like the republicans will take control of the house of representatives, but again, with a much smaller margin than haddocks been expected. and the senate clare, we still have to wait and see the races in nevada and arizona are just too close to call. and ga, the state of georgia's going to go to a run off on december 6, something we'll have to watch as well. assuming you and i have been talking a lot about how these midterm elections are something of a litmus test. looking ahead to the presidential elections in 2024 a biter. now saying he will decide early next year whether to seek reelection, how well positioned after these midterms do think he has to go for another term yet he certainly sounded really energized, didn't he? in that address that he delivered earlier today he's, he spoke very openly, frankly, about the election and about the prospects for the next 2 years. you know, you're right. he was asked specifically about this. so by a reporter and he said,

you know, as of now, i am certainly running, but of course he has to consult the democratic party as to consult his advisors and his family as well as of now does look like the president is gearing for 2024, and of course the president and the white house feel vindicated by the results of the the midterm elections. they say that it was the president himself. his message to voters is appealed to go on in cash or balance to defend democracy, to protect abortion rights, reproductive rights. so that was instrumental in getting voters to the polls. on the other hand, clear, you have to say president biden is still a deeply unpopular president. his popularity ratings, we've mentioned again at around 45 percent. so it is not entirely clear whether that is the right step for the democratic party, but it is certainly in the president's hands right now. and he looks in position to be the one running in 2024. ok. so some of vindication for the democrats. what about the republicans? what do these mid term results mean for them?

a lot trickier for the republicans are declared. you know, we've seen republican observers pundits all day on media trying to detect what exactly happened. why that red wave didn't materialize. they talked about the fact that they underestimated how big of an issue. abortion was on the ballad or democracy was on the ballad. one important take away clear that we have to keep in mind is that the candidates who the former president donald trump endorsed and stood by at raleigh head of the election, they didn't perform as well as had been hoped. and so one of the big takeaways for republicans coming out of this is what effect of donald trump have on the republican party on voters. some are saying that he has been a drag on the republican party in some of those voters. and that comes just as we're expecting, the former president to announce that he's going to be running again in 2024 to republican. certainly doing some soul searching right now, wondering whether donald trump is the right candidate. we know what his intentions are. on the other hand, you have run descent is that governor in florida was massively popular and seems to be more popular among voters. so we're gonna have to watch how both of those yet

both of those men to former president and the current governor, florida, navigate that going forward. i thank you so much for reporting. that's our correspondence in some misconduct in washington d. c. let's take a closer look now at how some high profile actions unfolded on tuesday and what they could mean for the u. s. political landscape. with control of congress hanging in the balance, americans woke up to a very mixed picture in pennsylvania. it was the democrats who emerged victorious, winning the open senate seat. jim them. we hulu, and they triumphed in wisconsin's closely fort governor's race. some people got boring or you know, i was godson as it turns out boring wins. but it was the

republicans who romped home in florida with ultra conservative governor rhonda santas winning decisively alexia. we have rewritten the political matter, but with vote counting still underway in key states that political map isn't looking as good for republicans. as many analysts predicted, we went in expecting a, a big knife for republicans giving a, given the unpopularity of biden, the fact that in mid term elections throughout the out party tends to do well. inflation of course, is, is still pretty high. and on a lot of voters minds and the big night did not really pan out on republicans, especially trump, backed republicans, struggled in about one key issue that appears to have helped boost the democrats at the polls. is abortion rights. currently, nearly as women, i'm protecting reproductive rates in all forms in the city. and federally is the

most important thing that's been driving me and a lot of my friends and i think has really pushed a lot of us to get friends. maybe wouldn't have voted or get people to kind of look into who they're voting for, why they're voting for them. while counting continues in key battleground states, like here in arizona, with control of congress still unclear for now at least it seems, the democrats have performed better than some expected them to our washington bureau chief in as paul is falling, that closely fought race to represent arizona in the senate at units, arizona, one of those remaining seats that will determine which party holds majority in the senate. when can we expect the results? the same as with the government, a race here in arizona, a clare. it's probably taking at least until tomorrow and why is that? where were some issues?

we're with mo voting machines. we hear that in 60 or so voting stations. the printers didn't work, but it's mainly because of the biggest county in maricopa county where approximately 60 percent of all a voters are based. they want to make the 100 prints and sure that there aren't any mistakes. so nobody can after the cow and say that there were some fraud. so that is why it's double and triple counted. and that is why this taking so long. okay, so that is the state of play in arizona. we know it could be even weeks before we find out who controls the u. s. senate looking more broadly wise as taking so long . well, so it's, we will have to wait until tomorrow. so if we know if the democrats that looks like it's the democratic senate candidate in arizona, wins and that would probably bring it down to georgia again. and as in george are there is a specific law that the senator has been with 50 plus one votes and none of the

both candidates has this vote. so they will have to go into another election which will probably take until the last the end of december, which will be when we get the results from georgia. so, another couple of weeks when we finally will know if the democrats can keep the majority in the senate, or if they lose it to the republican party, who is looking at that run off race in at georgia, is more broadly what these med terms tell us about the key issues that have been on the minds of us voters. yeah, we just heard, so me talking about it. it is. so for many surprising that all the trump, or many i shall say of the trump begged candidates, didn't perform as well as it was expected. and that will be the big discussion after these midterms. once we know who controls the houses,

what is the future role of donald trump with his extreme politics, with his election denying and is spreading confusion. so it will be a huge task for the republican party to find out whom they send into the next presidential election. and it's also interesting that there was a shift like until a couple of weeks ago, everybody said that the american people don't really care about the threat of the democratic structures. that seems to be not correct. as we just read in the latest polls after inflation and after abortion rights, people really do care about the state of their democracy. and that obviously played really a pretty big role here in these midterms across the united states. ok, thank you very much for that update. that's our washington bureau chief. in his poll reporting today from phoenix, arizona,

russia claims it has ordered its troops to withdraw from the western bank of the to the pro river near her son. this move could mark a major turning point in the war. the announcement by russian defense minister survey showing go comes after weeks of ukrainian gains in the area. russian commanders say it's no longer possible to deliver supplies to the city, and troops will pull back to defend the eastern side of the river. her son is the largest city captured by russia since the war began, and the withdraw would mark a major setback for the kremlin. dw correspondent nick connelly is in kiff. earlier. he told us how much russia's announcement should be trusted. well, certainly there are lots of voices in care of who say this definitely cannot be believed. they see this as a provocation and attempts to lou or in ukrainian troops to hassan and then kind of force them into kind of st. battles of the kind we saw in mary apple. we've heard from talk ukrainian intelligence officials who say that some of course is best

equipped and best trained soldiers are still in his own city. that some of them it's believed changed in civilian clothes, more difficult to identify them. and they certainly said they haven't seen any evidence of the russian military pulling back we have seen in recent days, checkpoints disappearing, police disappearing. russian flags being taken off mister buildings, but no conclusive proof so far that the russian military has left kind of solemn. so there's a lot of cautious kind of questioning here as to whether this is really something that you can can take advantage of, or whether it really is going to be still a few weeks. and some very difficult matter before you credit troops. finally, to console that update earlier from our correspondent nick connelly and kim and we also spoke to mike martin, a former british army officer and senior visiting research fellow at the department of war studies that came to college london. we got his take on whether this announcement could be a russian trap. it might be perceived as a chart, but there is some simple facts. this was

a region that russia annexed about 6 weeks ago. and supposedly this is part of russia. and now we're seeing the commander of russian forces announcing withdrawal . so i'm sure there will be traps and stay behind policies and all the rest of it. but the simple facts are the large body of russian troops. that's been the only large body of russian shapes i should say, that it's crossed the ribbon prose on the west. franklin in pro is now withdrawing, and that's a significant victory. see my part and speaking to us earlier. now i can take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. a 23 year old man has been arrested for hurling eggs at britons, king charles and camilla, the queen concert. the incident took place in the city of york in northern england, where the king was participating in an event marking the start of his reign. the king narrowly avoided being hit. in the greek capital athens striking protesters
