changing everything i'm making may to change. ah, you revealed this week on d, w ah ah, this is dw newswire from berlin. control of the u. s. congress hangs in the balance as mid term election results come in from publicans are likely to regain control of the house of representatives. but it's not the mid term wipe out the democrats were fearing us. president joe biden calls it a good day for democracy. he praises his party strong showing in tuesday's vote and

vows to find common ground with republicans also on the show of potentially serious setback for russia in its war on ukraine. versus defense minister confirming that moscow is pulling troops out of the key city of harris on the go for paul r. v. like sig, kept themselves in the mix at the top of the table with a solid 31 victory against high flying fry work on wednesday. nights ah hello, i'm clare richardson, thanks much for joining us. in the united states, mid term election results are pointing to a surprisingly strong showing for president biden's democrats. his party is doing better than paul's predicted, but there are still many races to call in the battle for congress,

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, 184 out of the 435 seats have gone to the democrats, and you see 272. the republicans now have a closer look at the senate, starting with the seats that aren't up for grabs. in this election, you can now add in those newly decided seats and see that the republicans are slightly ahead with 49 seats. and the democrats of $48.00 seats so far, of course, with vice president common harris able to cast tie, breaking vote. the republicans would need 51 from majority. 3 seats are still open . that's arizona, georgia and nevada. but some of the margins are razor thin, and it is still too early to draw conclusions. when you, as president joe biden has praised his party surprisingly strong, showing in his 1st public remarks since the vote. well,

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, a little hoarse. our democracy has been tested in recent years, but with their votes, the american people have spoken approval. 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 loss is painful. some good democrats didn't. when the last night, democrats had a strong name for more on this, i'm going now in the studio by our reporter stacy evans. hi, stacy. so there is no giant red wave, but how good of a night was this for joe biden? is democrats?

well, i think if the mid terms had a subtext it would be, there is something about bided. he continues to defy the odds and he even overcame some of the doubt within his own party. he had some criticism because in the last push to get voters to the polls, he focus more on the democracy than he did on the accomplishments that the democrats made economically speaking. but that was the success. it got the base out and it also was appealing to independent voters. so this was, this is not necessarily a mandate, so to speak in the counting is still going on. but it wasn't this big wave that a big red way that everybody thought was going to happen. so his, the 2nd half of biden's term looked like it won't be as tough as earlier predicted . and let's talk about that counting where do things go from here? what is the hold up and getting a result? ok, so there's 3 races. there were 2 close to call. nevada was one in arizona. i'm told that arizona we should get some results some time on friday. if not arizona and

nevada be early next week. as far as the ga contests with senator raphael war neck and the trump pick herschel walker there is going to be a run off on december 6th. so there's gonna be a little bit of a hold up still people just have to be patient. okay, so those are the races to watch. one of the big winners we already know in these mid terms was the republican governor rhonda santos. is something people think he's eyeing a run for the presidency in 2024. what do you make of that? well, i mean, because there were so many losses with the trump picks and this mid term election, i'm sure that the santas feels confident about his his odds. and also there was, this believed that there was going to be like this onslaught of latino voters that would uplift the republican party. and that doesn't seem to be the case except for south florida. where rhonda santa says governor, so i'm sure he feels very confident. okay and stacy,

we have more information about ronda sanders? let's see if we can take a closer look. morning ladies and gentlemen, this is your governor speaking. rhonda sandra, this is the top gun of florida republicans, but his main aim to become the next republican candidate for president to do that till likely have to take on the man who championed him. donald trump takes credit for desantis election to governor in 2018. now their rivals america's comeback begins this november, and it recently, trump gave him a derogatory nickname, calling him rhonda sanctimonious. that was just after the former president strongly hinted he wants to run again for the republicans. and now in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, i will very, very, very probably do it again. no, that would be

a blow to desantis own ambitions. in florida. he was, will pillar for keeping schools open during the pandemic, not to some call him the trump with brains, and he's seen as offering a more constructive take on the america fuss doctrine. and my view is, is, you know, obviously free enterprise is the best economic system, but that is a means to an end. it's means to having a good feeling, wife, in a prosperous society. poles put rhonda santas, a way ahead of all other potential republican presidential candidates. apart from trump, he'd likely have to put his biggest ambitions on the ice for a while. if the former president does decide to run again in 2024. so that's around santas for you and stacy, what do you think? is he going to be emboldened by the results of these mid term elections? i'm sure that he feels a little bit cocky. i mean that you can't run an ad like that being have gun,

not thinking that you have so strong chance, but let's see what happens when trump or if trump announces a run. yeah. so looking ahead at to 2024 already. i'm obviously also these midterms are something of a litmus test for both parties to see what sticks. what does and i do think we're going to see any changes in strategies going into the next round of elections. i think the republicans are smart that they've learned from this midterm. is that just leaning on nice culture war? things aren't going to be enough in even doing so with the, with the abortion matter that was a big loser for them. voters have pretty much that they want to see both sides worked together and they need to see results. so the, the fear mongering and also just an agenda where it's to stop the democrats and not to move forward is no longer palatable to some of these voters. and as far as the democrats go, president by dint made it very clear that he's not looking to go off the path that he's put the democrats on. and he feels that more people will be more supportive.

after the 1st of the year, when most of these policies have come into effect, and what do you make of that? he also spoke of bipartisan shape, which you have hinted at. what is going to be very difficult for him if indeed the house of representatives or even both chambers of congress do go under republican control. i think that he, he's not worried about being a lame duck. like i said, he seemed very confident and, and laying out his agenda, his, he says, look, i will veto, i want to work with the republicans to get some things done. immigration might be one of them, but he made it very clear that there are certain things that he will veto, not protecting social security, for example. so he's the willing to work, but on his terms. ok, thank you so much for that, that stacy begins with our election team. really appreciate it. and let's get the view from germany now. michael link is the coordinator of transit land. transatlantic cooperation at the german foreign office. he's also

a member of the business friendly f t p. just want to be government coalition partners here. my colleague asked him about how changing us politics could impact germany. what do these results mean for trans atlantic corporation? i think we have a unique opportunity now to use the next 2 years where we still have president biden miss administration and office to try to elaborate as much as possible in cooperation between the european union and the u. s. yes, we don't know. we get exactly the results in the senate and in the house, but we have a president and an administration, which is extremely interesting to work together with you as much as possible when it comes to ukraine. when it comes to issues like a human rights and digital world, when it comes to china. so let's pick that up. but we need to live up to the expectations also from the u. s. sorry. and there i think we can still do more.

what is your biggest concern when it comes to the results? what is the worst case scenario? and frankly, when i remember the last general election, where we saw 2 months later, certification of the results in the u. s. congress, january 6th. we saw the fatal. not rick, non recognition of the result by those who lost electrons. so the question is, will those who last see in some governance races on some important races? will they accept the results that's to be watched that's to be observed. and i really hope that's maybe in 234 weeks. we can be relieved and say everybody has recognized the results. because that is exactly what, what's at stake now. p who really recognition of the electro resolve if president by and doesn't come bogged down on national politics and foreign policy

takes a step back. what will europe have to do and response? well, 1st of all, of course, that's on the us side to, to, to find the necessary balance between, let's say, for a 2nd, we will have a, the congress dominated by the big party in case that turns out. then they have to find a way to go forward and i'm pretty sure deadlock of gridlock is not the solution for the next 3 years. there might be some in fighting on issues like inflation, the border crime. but even the republicans, even if they have the majority, they can't afford to do nothing for 2 years to, to block everything. so they will have to find a way forward and we, europeans, especially the germans need to be ready for the following. whoever is in charge in the us regarding china, democrats or republicans, will certainly address us with the question. where do you stand, china? what can you do together with us to really confront the systemic rivalry which we

have china. and i think independent of who is in charge in the us, this is the question we have to face. thank you very much. thank you. and now to potentially serious that back for russia in its war on ukraine, moscow has ordered its troops to withdraw from the city of harrison in southern ukraine. her son was the 1st major cities of fall after russia launched its invasion. but the good news rushes commander in ukraine announces a retreat in a military briefing on state tv, arguing it is no longer possible to keep supplying the city where they are more difficult when you arrive further to nibble. this is a very difficult decision, but we will be saving the lives of our service men and the combat capability of our troops, which is necessary to stay on the right bank in a limited area. russian troops swept across southern ukraine from annex crimea.

at the start of the war, seizing her son in early march. ah, in recent weeks ukrainian forces have been closing in the city. and russia has been relocating tens of thousands of its residents the streets of her son are now virtually empty. a ukrainian takeover of the city would be seen as a significant blow to russian president vladimir putin. only weeks ago he announced what he called the forever annexation of the her son region, along with 3 others in a big ceremony in moscow. on the streets of tea, if some had their doubts about a russian retreat, and when is this is i think this is russia planning something? yes. an idea. i can't really believe it. why would they gather 40000 soldiers there

in the 1st place? i think they are preparing something for the ukranian army at me. a ceiling cut by the consist, president moral middle jeremy does not give us gifts only does not make gestures of good will with we fight for at all. tomorrow we will move very carefully with them without emotion naval without unnecessary riskless. haley to liberate all our land and minimize our losses, yet named lynch. re capturing her son could allow ukraine to win back more lost territory in southern areas, including crimea, which russia, i legally ceased in 2014 or correspondence. nick connelly is in care of and earlier he told us how my trash has announcement should be trusted. will certainly there are lots of voices in care of who say this definitely cannot be believed. they see this as a provocation and attempt to lure in ukrainian troops to had

a song and then kind of forced them into kind of st. battles of the kind we saw in mario pal, we've heard from talk a ukrainian intelligence officials who say that some of forces best equipped, best trained soldiers are still in harrison 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 and missed ship buildings, but no conclusive proof so far that the russian military has left had stolen. so there's a lot of cautious kind of questioning here as to whether this is really something that you crank and take advantage of, or whether it really is going to be still a few weeks. and some very difficult matter before ukraine troops finally to castle that's now connelly reporting from here. we also spoke to mike martin, a former british army officer and senior visiting research fellow at the department of war studies at kings college london. and we got his take on whether this

announcement could be a russian trop. it might be perceived as a shot, but there are some simple facts. this was a region that russia annex about 6 weeks ago. and supposedly this is part of russia . and now with thing, the commander of russian forces announced withdrew. so i'm sure there will be chops and stay behind policies and all the rest of it. but the simple facts are the large body of russian troops has been the only large body of russian troops. i should say that crossed the river, the prose on the west, franklin, a negro, is now withdrawing, and that's a significant victory for you. and i will bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making well, there's headlines. russian president vladimir putin will not travel to indonesia next week for the g. 20 summit. and his foreign minister survey le, from will instead attend the event post indonesia invited put into the summit

despite his decision to invade ukraine. at 23 year old man has been arrested for hurling exit, britons, king charles and camilla queen consort. the incident took place in the city of york in northern england, but the king was participating in an event marking the start of his reign. it can narrowly avoided being heads tropical storm. nicole has strengthened to a hurricane as it heads toward the state of florida. this had to be a rare november hurricane for florida. nicole early her head, the bahamas, where she called flooding and power cuts. egypt now where human rights violations have been overshadowing events at the cop $27.00 climate so met. protesters have come out in force in support of jails, british injection activists, a law abdel fata, the pro democracy activist has spent many years in prison for months. he's been on hunger strike and since the summit opened,

he's even refused water. his family and rights groups both saying that they are afraid for his health and international pressure is growing for his release. this is ala abdel fata, the british egyptian activist, is currently imprisoned in egypt in a desperate bid for freedom. he's been on hunger strike since april and to coincide with cop $27.00, he's taken it to a more dangerous level. his family are gravely concerned on his do my best try and said let him live with him today. his love love. oh, i am the way it would be this coming. especially with rights group, say abdel fata is one of more than 60000 political prisoners in egypt. he spent

most of the past decade behind bars, 1st being sentenced for protesting against a ban on unauthorized demonstrations and later allegedly being detained by security forces in response to protests against government. corruption. as world leaders gather in egypt for cop 27, a law del fatis detention has been condemned by human rights activists. the extraordinarily simply a human rights situation in the country become so global that priority. and he's, you know, i in, and his andy squarely at the halt of cop 27 agenda. you know, the, whoops, yes, it's about climate justice. but you cannot den climate justice anywhere in the world, including in egypt. if you don't have human rights protection, british prime minister richie sooner has said he'll raise the activists case with

egyptian president abdel thought to, i'll cc at cop 27. a la abdel fought a supporters of stress. the urgency of releasing him as his hunger strike increasingly endangers his life. while in germany, the night of november 9th, 1938 is known as crystal not or the night of the broken glass. it was the day mobs of germans and austrians attacked, looted and burned jewish shops and homes, destroyed at $1400.00 synagogues killed 90, to choose ants, and another $30000.00 to concentration camps. now, when you detail the documentary explores how thousands of german musicians were also ostracized and banned from their professions, under nazi rule, we would like to share this preview with you. ah, how was it possible that the home of the german musical profession and establishment turned overnight into nazi collaborators

building? oh cool. and it was the quality of moral bar gone down rather than pointing fingers music under the swastika explains how music since became accomplices. victims and supporters of the 3rd, rice star conductor, and nazi favorite vill helm. fort langley is the central figure in the film. ah, as is anita alaska vall fish who became known as the cellist, vouch bits, she started playing as a child. but under the nazis, everything changed, anita and her family were to put it to the camps. she and her sister ended up in outfits. anita laska played in the camp orchestra. the cello saved her life. oh, am xander coppers called they were concerts on sundays and we sat down somewhere in

the camp. i can't remember exactly where from and played to for the amusement of the gods and her boss comma. the prisoners could also hear you fung and conch offer an idea of it are they had varied reactions amongst for summit was an insult. i've also read about people who say it allowed them to dream themselves out of that hell give only for a few minutes. while jewish musicians performed in concentration camps, foot vang let grace the major stages becoming internationally famous. initially he defended jewish musicians, but he succumbed to prussia and allowed himself to become a figurehead of the nazi regime. and so he makes his packed with the devil he conducts in front of a huge swastika, he is morally degenerate. issue after port. i don't blame fort dangler for not leaving everything behind and going to america. when no one would have known who he

was. is that so easy? so later, the filmmakers dig deep into the archives for that research and colorized, historical concert footage to give it new life. any moral judgments are left up to the viewer to make. and that's one of the film's greatest strengths. football now with some mid week wound as legal action, wednesday's top matches all 6 placed arby lights. a shoe are coming off a run of 11 unbeaten games. host a 2nd placed fryeburg and lights ish, came out on top in a convincing 31 victory. only one since the 1st half deadlocks is managed to surprise the fryeburg defense. but christopher conquests attempt only christie outside of supposed blood seek, did not come any closer to taking delete and concluded tia. but
