ah ah ah ah, this is the w news life from berlin, a setback for russia in its war in ukraine. moscow confirms its troops or withdrawing from the key city of pass on. what does this mean for the future of the conflict? also on the program, u. s. president joe biden praises his party strong showing in tuesday's mid term elections,

but with vote still being counted in some race. is it still unclear who'll be calling the shots in congress more than 4 years after the murder of saudi journalist america shall g, his fiance tells d. w of her determination to keep his memory alive and to hold his killers to a cat. i'm sorry, africa breaks, new ground for ground station to help nasa missions to the moon and beyond. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. russia has ordered its troops to withdraw from the strategic city of half san in southern ukraine. a hassle was the 1st major city to fall after the russian invasion and was the only regional capital under russian control. the move being called the major sat back from moscow with some analysts say it could be a turning point in the war. keith, however,

is urging caution. 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 refer to which in your book, 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 keith, 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 feeling i could buy the country's president. little little with jeremy does not give us gifts away, does not make gestures of good will. when we fight for it all. the moral, we will move very carefully with them without emotion that without unnecessary risk,

as we need to liberate all our land and minimize our losses, yet name lynch, recapturing her son could allow ukraine to win back more last territory in southern areas, including crimea, which russia i legally ceased in 2014 law correspondent, nick connelly in cave gave me his take on this russian announcement. most definitely very strange. as you mentioned, there this announcement on tv, especially if you compare it to russia's other withdrawals earlier in the year, where often enough it was denied until basically was too obvious for every one. and then it was branded a good, well, good will gesture or tactical retreat to find better, more easily defendable lines. and so this is definitely a break in strategy or so all the talk about wanting to save russian soldiers lives wanting to kinda protect their own resources in their own manpower. that is also not something that really gels with what rushes be doing elsewhere,

where we've seen, especially freshly mobilized people being basically thrown at the front lines with very little preparation equipment. and a huge loss is there. so this whole doesn't really stack up and that's all kind of led to this huge kind of sense of disbelief here and key of and the kind of fear that this is a trap for ukrainian forces. i think broadly, russia is going to leave that west bank of deeper river. it's just too exposed. it's too difficult to defend. it's too difficult to supply the ukranian tactic of destroying the bridges destroying the pontoon bridges, making it basically impossible for russia to bring in enough ammunition and enough food for their garrison there that is working. but i think there might be some surprises on the way and there might be, as the ukrainian secret services have said, some can shoot me. russian special forces still active, had a song to mer potentially during the ukrainians, had some kind of st battles. and yeah, definitely no clear pathway. yeah. as to when you're training force that will be infested on schooling. right. so with those fears of a track,

what do you think is likely to be the ukrainian approach to re taking this region? i think definitely it's gonna take longer than lots people eastern key of would like to see that's been kind of a part of the, the kind of narrative here inside ukraine for a long time pressure from the public to make faster gains to push the russians back . faster, but yet the ukrainian military come and has been very resistant to that and has consistently kind of put a damper on those expectations and said that it's about basically fighting in a clever way without direct confrontations. kind of frontal attacks on the russian lines coming from the sides, depriving them of resources and basically making sure the russians leave themselves rather than in risking a direct kind of a battle of soldiers having to kind of storm the russian trenches. kind of 1st world war sal settings can take a good amount of time, but definitely looks like the period of russian control of a good song, russian flags over the government buildings in fact,

so on which was the 1st major gain the russia made in this war. the most significant gain, it was the only regional capital that russia has taken during this war. that is now definitely numbered. and what is a russian withdrawal? i like me to mean for people left in that region. was there a firstly? there are thousands, not hundreds of thousands believed of people from that region who have left to have been, as russian say, evacuated as the ukraine's would say, deported to russian hill. tertiary, on the other bank of the new pro river some 2 russian and ex crimea. so there's a big issue there of blocks, the locals basically having no option of getting to ukrainian control territory and being put under pressure to go and leave their homes. so how these people ever gonna get home, how they're gonna kind of reconnect with their families and friends. that is a major issue. but even if ukrainian troops are able to get in to have san, without too much of a kind of, you know, city battle, they're still the kind of scenario of russian forces on the other bank of the river

shelling verizon. because this is a very wide river, but it's still definitely within range of russian artillery and a one local we spoke to basically over the last few months he was saying his major kind of fear is just basically mary, opal style kind of shelling of homes. if had song, even if you credit troops are back there, because the russians are still going, be close by. i thank you for that. nick nick connelly, inky. there is of all stories making headlines around the world. vladimir person will not attend next week's g 20 summit in indonesia. some hosts indonesia invited the russian president despite his invasion of ukraine, foreign minister, so they left off will be there instead of the tell about have ordered amusement park owners in afghanistan to begin refusing entry to women. this comes after the country, so called morality ministry said they would be restrictions on women being able to access public parks and fun, fast, and say,

you know the country last year tell about who said women should not the hope that a male relative and must cover their faces, tropical storm to call the strength and to hurry, can force as it heads towards the u. s. where is of course, to the state of florida authorities in counties among the states east coast time issued mandatory evacuation orders. the coal hit, the bahamas as a tropical storm causing flooding and power and the private art collection of the light. microsoft co founder paul allen, has reached the highest sum ever at a single auction. christy's in new york says the collection, which includes from van gall 5, says that and claimed, went from $1500000000.00. the other died in 2018. the proceeds will go to philanthropic courses. in accordance with the

in the us, democrats did much better than expected in tuesday's mid term elections with a few key contests, still undecided. it's still unclear who will control congress. but president biden praised his party strong showing, saying that forecasts of a wiper by republicans had failed to materialize. well, we had an election yesterday and it was a good day, i think for democracy. and i think it is a good day for america to 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. well, after the correspondence in washington, mckayla could know whether this really was a good day for the democrats, as the president said, well, what's a good day? you know, if your expectations are exceeded, i guess it is, and that's what happened for the democrats. they really were dreading this. traditionally here in the us, i can say a politics usually serve the party of a sitting president, a defeat at midterm elections. so it really wasn't that bad, was it a victory for joe biden? that's another question. if you have 3 quarters of the country saying that it's going in the wrong direction, his popularity ratings also not particularly high. so he's held the shop together. was it the strength of the democrats or the weakness of the republicans?

and that's the hot debate here right now. with everybody pointing towards trump, who the republicans feel lost it for them pretty much across the board. a missed opportunity after a lot of debates of a quality of candidates as well. but of course, a sigh of relief. that's also what dos biden's spoke of. and he too said that generally is plan was to run again, but that decision would still be taken. so this will be left to a lot of party committees on both sides of the aisle to discuss what the cause was . some results are still outstanding and we're pretty much on the knife edge of the moment. what are we likely to find out who controls compress? i don't have any results for you either. we know that in arizona that is highly contended in both races, their governor and the senatorial the seed, and we expect county to continue all weight into friday even. and what it may

come down to is what we already know will be a re run in georgia over the senate race there that's expected on the 6th of december. so if you really don't see any result this week, it might well have to wait for another month or all of us to find out who controls the senate. and other results are still trickling in, but no clear way to go as yet. okay, what, what are the big winners in this? these midterms is florida's republican governor rhonda sanchez who's thought to be considering a run for the presidency? we'll take a look at your report, mikaela and then come back to morning. ladies and gentlemen, this is your governor speaking. rhonda service is the top gun of florida republicans, but his main aim to become the next republican candidate for president to do that to likely have to take on the man who championed him. donald trump takes credit for

this santa selection to governor in 2018. now their rivals america's comeback begins this november, and it recently, trump gave him a derogatory nickname, calling him ron de 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 well pillar for keeping schools open during the pandemic, and that some called him the trump with brains. and he seen as offering a more constructive take on the america fast doctrine. and my view is, is, you know, obviously free enterprise is the best economic system. ah, but that is

a means to an end. it's means to having a good feeling, wife and a prosperous society poles put, rhonda sant is a way ahead of all other potential republican presidential candidates. apart from trump, he'd likely have to put his biggest ambitions on ice for a while. if the former president does decide to run again in 2024. so we had a customer where do these mid terms, leave the republican contest for the presidency in 2024? well, it leaves them a need for a fresh poll because this was a defeat for donald trump. particular donald trump's election denied candidates in the midterm elections. and rhonda santas, he won by almost 20 percent ahead of his rival. he won big with the hugely important latino community, which is quite something in itself for the republicans and his supporters

cheering. they said all 2 more years, 2 more years, one de santis and they certainly want to see him as the next candidate for president donald trump. is expected to declare his candidacy on the 15th next week . and there was even talk that he made delays. but rhonda santas is the over arching signing star. it's really interesting to see also the media coverage right now. the new york post, which always bactrim speaking of a trump di dumpty who failed to build a wall. there's a lot of tramp criticism within the republican party. so if there is a, whatever was a momentum for the republicans to discuss openly whether to rid themselves of trump, this could well be the moment because there is a very powerful alternative, powerful at the ballot box of at hand right now. and that's rhonda santas,

mikaela mikaela cutler in washington. now it's been more than the for yes. and saudi journalist shamarka shoji was murdered in the kingdoms consulate in istanbul, where he went to collect the papers he needed to marry his fiance, turkish natural, a teacher generous. saudi crown prince. sir mohammed brin solomon denied ordering the killing, but later admitted it took place under his watch. was jagger's, however, is continuing her campaign for justice. she told d w 's, you'll your harm as her world collapse when she found out what had happened. lou, i struggle with big pain in my life in my heart to my was home. he was a part of my life, my identity when i lost him in this way, it changed my life completely. on the 2nd of october

against fellow contenders fryeburg for. so it's been a good week for spacing fuse, yes, in africa in barbara and uganda, launch their 1st satellites aboard a nasa rocket. and south africa held the groundbreaking ceremony for an africa deep space ground station, which will help mass attract missions to the moon and beyond. a correspondent, idea increase was at the ceremony in the village of matches, fun time. about 3 hours from cape town. i knew it sometimes feels like the clock stopped ticking here a long time ago. my cheese fontaine was built around a railway station and it still is the rare arrival of a train that brings a bit of life to the sleepy village. the former residents mainly make a living of travellers who stop here on their journey from cape town to johannesburg. but this could change because scientists say that this is one of the best places on earth to communicate with the heavens. clear skies and practically

no rain for the conditions just outside the village and the carew desert are ideal . it's, it's time for africa to to be counted when we're talking about the global. so they proposed based markets. today we're breaking ground out for building a ground station that will allow us to be able to track and talk to satellites that go to the moon and out of space to other planets. the project is the partnership between south africa, national space agency and the u. s, space agency, nasa, we have been working with them for so many years to our dog toys, to find the proper, the best location in all of south africa. if not on all of africa to ah, to be part of a, a subnet of ground station supporting the artemus program are to mrs. nasa's program to return astronauts to the moon by 2024. preparing the way for human

missions to mars ground stations, like the new one and south africa will play a key role in communication during the space flights. oh, good back in matt. she's fontaine, they can't wait for a nasa sign at the venus entrance. bringing in more tourists. lou, i was got river midweek bonded legal football action. wednesdays taught match saw 6th place are bay leipzig come here from one of 11 and beat games host 2nd place fryeburg. i'd like to say came out on top with a convincing 31 victory. ah leipzig managed to surprise the fryeburg defense only watch in the 1st half. but christopher in cuckoo attempt only kiss the outside of the post lives. it didn't come any closer to taking the lead and cuckoo did hear . but after 55 minutes and after the cuckoo again was denied by the cross bar. the

deadlock was finally broken. fellow frenchmen, muhammad z, marking nettie the deserved leipzig lead. and just one minute later, christopher on cuckoo finally got his goal. number 12 of the season for the bonus biggest top marks me who will hopefully shine is bright at the world cup. having made it into the french squad, fryeburg not only both the leagues best defense, they also pride themselves on being very efficient at the other end of the pitch, defender lucas, curb, la, netting fryeburg 1st good scoring chance. the life, the keeper yanis bloss wish could barely react. however, when chris approved cuckoo earned a penalty after tumbling in the area, the game was decided, easy work for a meal horse we're converting me and suing kick for the final score of 31. 8

convince he lives in victory, left them the 5th place in the standings. fryeburg meanwhile slipped to 3rd after their 3rd defeat of the season. i once i also saw union berlin, extend that windlass to straight to 3 matches. i could only manage at 2 will draw with ours berg, but they did manage to score the goal of the march day, 7 minutes in a long pass fashion, rather baccha, who 1st had to round the keeper before curling in a long range shot from a seemingly impossible angle, despite failing to win the match union did move up to 2nd in the table after fryeburg last bag. so what is all i mean for the bundis legal standings? well behind munich, hang on to the top spot, followed by own young berlin, fryeburg, frankfort, and leipzig. and the bottom half stood got to move out of the relegation zone,
