will be calling the shots in congress, and more than 4 years up to the murder of saudi journalists, jamal cash of g. his fiance, health d, w, about her determination to keep his memory alive and to hold his killers to account class. germany turned to the next generation as it pursues world cup flory and katara. 17 euro, you sofa, mckoko is the name on everyone's lips. as the final germany squad is announced, we'll talk more about the teenage sensation and also the controversy dogging the competition. ah i'm and you keeps mccann and thanks for joining us. russian troops have started withdrawing from the strategic city of her son in southern ukraine. our son was the

1st major city to fall off to the russian invasion and the only regional capital under russian control. the move is being called a major setback for moscow with some analysts saying it could be a turning point in the wall. keith, however, is urging caution worker your new 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. were there more difficult when you're either going 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 on the city. and russia has been relocating

tens of thousands of its residents the streets of her son are now virtually empty or ukrainian take over 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 ideal. 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. moral metal with jeremy does not give us gifts, always does not make gestures of goodwill with we fight for it all. the more moral we will move very carefully listen without emotion that without unnecessary riskless. haley to liberate all our land and minimize our losses. yet name lynch, re capturing her son could allow ukraine to win back more last territory in southern areas, including crimea, which russia, i legally ceased in 2014. and i spoke to a correspondent and keith nick connelly earlier. i asked him why president pearson was nowhere to be seen when the withdrawal mountain was made. well, certainly this is typical puts in whenever this bad news to present to the russian people he is nowhere to be seen. and we don't know where exactly he spent the last few days. he's will see very cagey about his security. but we have seen basically the kind of political responsibility for this move being delegated. firstly, it's

a defense minister said geisha go and also to a general sort of each in the man in charge of the war hearing ukraine. and it kind of was even clear a couple, couple weeks ago that sort of, you can one of many people to be in charge of operation. there's been kind of huge rotation. lots of generals being fired, that he was being kind of built up and prepared. and kind of introduced the russian public as someone with authority to then bear the kind of political responsibility of this basically, unavoidable move as for you know, how it's actually playing out. and whether it should be believed. honestly, there's lots of red flags there in the past when russia has withdrawn from bits of ukraine, it hasn't admitted to doing so. it's maybe called it a good, well, jet good will gesture after the fact after they pulled out. but never have we seen this kind of announcement is kind of an admission of failure by the russian authorities. and also the rhetoric about saving russian soldiers lives doesn't really fit with the behavior we've seen in recent weeks of them throwing unprepared

newly mobilized people without new equipment. and without painting at the front lines, huge losses. so all of that made people here and key are very suspicious wondering whether this is attract, trying to your ukranian troops into have song with or it's still russian soldiers on the ground potentially ready to provide you. street to street kind of hand to hand fighting. so looks question marks, but definitely a sign that russia is on the retreat. so if we do take that at face value, if it is an admission of defeat, what does this tell us about the state of the russian army right now where this war might be heading? we're defi, shows that the ukranian strategy of basically avoiding direct confrontation with the russians. avoiding kind of sending people at the russian front lines at the russian trenches is working and said ukraine has basically done its best to starve the russian garrison the russian forces in had gone west of the new pro river of resources that food, you know, you winter uniforms, but also artillery munitions, they're really having to account for their shells and really think about when they

reply to ukrainian fire. and they've been doing this the kinds of media this methodically for weeks and months now at, at actually quite some cost internally in terms of your public opinion. people here in ukraine have been pushing for faster advances have been kind of impatient to see more progress there. but ukraine has just been methodically destroying those russian supply lines. and now we're seeing the russians coming out saying they're basically unable to provide enough resources to their soldiers in fed a song. and it also shows that russia now like looking to kind of hunker down the kind of perspective of taking more your grand territory. further advances that basically off the table for now they're just trying to hold on to what they already have at the note smallest possible cost neck. thanks so much for that analysis. that's nic connelly, reporting from keith them until as i grow most so as an expert in russian security policy at king's college london. i asked her why the kremlin chose to announce its withdrawal plan to the world. i think that the main objective is

full of the domestic ordinances. it's to explain to the russian population and the russian people why these repeat is happening. i'm to show in some way that this is not some kind of hasty and we treat our major defeat, is just something done. your knowing some kind of they kind of presented as a strategic retreat, giving the hope to solving the population that put potentially they could one day come back. so they're kind of saving the army so that eventually they can retake land in the future. so it is really, i think more, more than anything on the attempt to explain to the domestic audiences which have been very disappointed with the way in which not only the armed forces were operating. but we thought of these all these ation, which has so i had an impact on many sectors of election. so now the russian government, in a way, has to provide more information on responses and explanations to the general public

. and i think this is part of it. ok, so given what you've just said, does this mean the rusher is losing the war? i do say that to in that area. and i think on additional going days hoping, hoping which probably i'm not slow will happen. is hoping that the ukrainians, i'm not going to hit them very hard as a retreat. so it is a way of saying, you know, we're going to leave you this terry tree. let us maybe go without hitting us too hard. but it clearly shows that i believe in this area, russia is unable to to hold the regions out, you know, to the waste of their new river on, hey, to sun is a copy dell of one of these sort of province is that they are next. i just a month ago. so it's very symbolic, so it's a symbolic loss. and it is also relevant because it shows that the objective of eventually, you know, taking all day sandwiches of georgia off of that area of ukraine, you know,

is also being postponed almost indefinitely. so it has many implications, it really shows that russia is in a very difficult position, that there is an understanding. increasingly, i think, among the russian leadership that this war is very difficult to win, that he's very difficult to advance father. and that the best is to try to secure the areas are easier to secure, so they're building very strong lines of defense to on the other side of the river . and also all along the areas that they occupying the south of ukraine in the south east. all the way to me at sun lawns to see if they can somehow negotiate at least a temporary cease fire that counselor defined these areas. i'm this control especially tried to protocol for now gram year becomes mobile mobile because you know, ukrainians can slowly are not advanced on if they effectively re take her to so on

. you know, they are much closer to crimea to many other areas that become a lot more vulnerable. donatello 0, mostly from the department of all studies at kings college london. thank you so much for that analysis. and here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world to day. an indonesian plane crash that killed all 62 people on board last year. it was caused by the pilots over reliance on the auto pilot system and inadequate training that's according to indonesia, transportation safety bodies, final report. the family of prominent jailed egyptian activist. allah abdel fattah is currently on hunger. strike says he has been moved to hospital in a statement on twitter thought house families that they had been notified by prison authorities. that the 40 year old was under medical intervention. the taliban have ordered amusement park owners in afghanistan to refuse entry to women as comes of

the country so called morales heat. ministry said that there would be restrictions on women being able to access public parks and on pears since taking over afghanistan last year. the taliban have said women should not leave home without a male relative and must cover their faces. u. s. president joe biden has welcomed the results of the midterm elections after his party fed better than expected. u. s. media had predicted huge gains for republicans, but these fail to materialize. however, biden's democrats do look set to lose control of the house of representatives. the battle for the upper chamber. the senate is also on a knife edge with 3 states still left to declare. there was a spring in the step of the u. s. president, as he faced reporters at the white house, the way to pre election fears perhaps lifted from his shoulders after better than expected midterm results. it was a good day, i think, for democracy. and i think it was a good day for america or shoot me

a little hoarse. our democracy has been tested emission years, but they're with their vote. so the american people's focus and for once again that democracy is who we are. this was a big task for j biden, who couldn't hide his glee when congratulating democrats, who helped see off a predicted republican sir, jim wired revelation in graduate job like better and he was a girl, congratulations. and so her mom, maria, the democrats man, am better than even the president expected. who with vote still being counted, there is still much to play for what happens here in nevada could be pivotal to who wins. control at the senate is one of 3 states that could swing the us up a house back into a publican, hands, patients. now the watch word here with hundreds of staff working to process pallets

another is ga, where the race between democratic incumbent, rafael warnock, and republican challenger herschel walker, who now going to run off in december at the end of day, everyone wants to know that we have honest and fair elections, and we do. i asked the voters to come out and vote one last time. just a few days ago, former president donald trump's mood had been buoyant, as he celebrated initial republican successes. he ham pigs many of the names on the ballots in key states. but in true trump style, he's now described the vote as somewhat disappointing in a message to supporters on his own. social platform was also hailing a very big victory. the more joining me now in the studio is tyson bark, a senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations here in berlin. welcome tyson. and we just heard joe biden there sounding pretty pleased with the outcome. but what does this actually mean for the, for the democrats,

what will they be able to get done in the next 2 years? or i think it's going to be very depend on what happens with the senate. generally, obviously, we are looking at a situation where the senate could go either way still, but what we see in this result is the country remains still very divided. even if the republicans win control of the house, which looks likely, it's going to be just within a couple of seats. and that's going to leave the house quite dysfunctional because of the leader kevin mccarthy. a week leader we'll have to corral, coordinate, different, very fractious fractions of the party of the maga group, the, the freedom caucus, et cetera. and then there's gonna be this trump pressure. so it's not looking like the legislative agenda will be the place where policy moves forward, it's going to be executive action the night and group just to make claire is the trump, the front tests, right. the make america. great. again. let's talk a little bit more about their republicans. so where did the mid terms really leave then? and what about donald trump?

well, if you look at the candidates, including brad reference, worker who was just speaking of the secretary of state of georgia who won his re election decisively and was of course the center of a lot of pressure from trump to, to look for. oh, it's in the 2020 election. a lot of the candidates, the republican candidates who are able to emancipate themselves from trump, actually much over performed how performed you see this in ohio. you see it in georgia with the governor in georgia as well. you see it in florida, so there's going to be a lot of elite pressure in republican circles, including conservatives, fox news, et cetera, to try to bring up new power centers within the party. you touched on it a little bit earlier. what effect to these mid terms likely to have on the political dynamic in washington, i mean, will the republicans, given that it wasn't the red tsunami that was potentially expected? well, the republicans offer some level of corporation you think will in contrast to 2010

where there was the last major republican shall lacking in a congressional election. and they took control of the house with a tea party. they actually had a, an agenda which was austerity to cut fiscal responsibility, etc. they didn't really run on that this time. what we can expect is a lot of a very aggressive oversight, the debt ceiling, which is a traditional congressional responsibility to raise the ability to borrow the full freight faith in credit the united states is going to come a brinkman ship issue early next year. and there's going to be a lot of oversight hearings we can of course, assume right off the top, the back that the january 6th committee, the investigative committee will be shuttered. that's going to be one of the 1st things that they do. and they're going to start equally aggressive investigations into, for example, a hunter biden's connections to ukraine, to paris. huh. and to china. ok. so not looking at smooth sailing ahead. it's going to be a contentious washington. i think, tyson, doc, i,

thanks so much for your time. thank you. now it's been wasn't for years since sally journalist jamal cash help, jay was murdered in the kingdoms consulate in istanbul. away he went to collect the papers he needed to marry his fiance, the turkish national had see jen, jen? guess the howdy crown prince ma had been feldman denied ordering the killing but he did later admit that it took place under his watch. jingle, however is continuing her campaign for justice. she told the w julia han that her world collapse when she found out what was the part of my life, my identity when i lost him in this way, it changed my life completely. on the 2nd of october 2018, her teacher genius, his fiancee, the saudi dissident. her mom, she was brutally murdered inside the saudi consulate in a stumble. they want him still. i am asking this

the u. s. congress, the european parliament, the united nations human rights council. a un investigation found evidence that the saudi leadership was responsible for the killing of to microshore jeans. for some time, her teacher was certain that justice would prevail until she learned the meaning of re i'll politic in a weldon turmoil and hungry for energy resources. pariahs can become partners again . it wasn't easy to understand israel politic. it's was a huge, disappointing for me. everyone knows, with a politic efficient the couples on the banks of the boss for us, remind her teacher of her loss. but also of the fact that life is worth living and justice worth fighting for a researcher

turns human rights defender, her teacher jenkins has found new purpose in her life. speaking for those who are silenced, listening to those who are not heard, cliffs creek up. water a need for our future is all humanity. more democracy, him on human rights. no, not give up. that's why much can you can see a longer version of that report on d. w 's youtube channel. that's huge. you dot com forward slash d w news. ah, now big news from the wilder football that jen and world cup squad has now been announced. and we've got chris harrington from d. w. sports here in the studio to tell us all about said, hey there, chris, i am fast up. give us your thoughts on the japanese squad. any surprise editions?

yeah, there are a few surprise editions. i think the biggest surprise is the hero from 2014 mario. good sir. you know, back in 2014, he proved to the world. he was better than layla messy when they down argentina in one, they're a 4th world cup. you know, that's what surprise, he's kind of played him so back, you know, in good regard, i guess with hearty flay for frankfort and another surprise dobbins. 17 year old sensation. you so who move? cuckoo. he's been electric in front of goal. he's the 1st 17 year old, but us to get history to score and double digits. you know, hardy flick is trying to chase things up front, you know, because there really isn't a clear striker for the german national team. another okay, player is very raymond's nicholas full crew. he asked his goals is here, there was a question mark me, he really deserved it and i'm happy to see party flick at him to the attack for team job. so you mentioned the new 17 year old and star, really incredible. who do you see as being some of the key players and you know, once the, once the a welcome pixel the when you look at the german national team,

you see 7 players from the defending champions of the been as they go by munich. i believe that to be the core of the team solid in the midfield. you have ya? sure. kim, it's jamal moose, yellow gretzky. and then between the posts, of course, you're going to have model noise. he was a question mark before, but he is also the captain. so that leadership is going to be provided defensively and up front in the attack. you know, you have the dual threatened says cannot really rice on a, you know, the team is nice. you know, they have a lot of quality to choose from. it's all about performing. and given that gemini crashed out in 2018, how much pressure do you think there's going to be on the gemini manager handling flag this time around? you can look at a 2 ways you can state the obvious. i mean, of course, as pressure of hot, you please over, you know, because no one wants to see germany be ejected from the group stage. you finish to the bottom, their group, you know, at the previous rocha, you know, but according to flick, they're not looking backwards or looking forward. he has a lot of fresh faces that he's included to the roster. a lot of young names,

some of them have went silverware, you know, for the team feeding into the national men's team. the 1st team at least, you know, so they're not thinking about the past. they 1st have to get climatized accustomed to the temperature. they have a very short window to prepare for japan that match kicks off on the 23rd of november. so it's really a lot of homework and then test time immediately. and we'll, everyone is talking about our shimon rights issues and they have really taken sent to stage and the run and tick tock. hadn't i said we need to talk about that. yeah . you know, the german interior minister can them comments that came out of guitar, saying homosexuality is a disease of the mind. and at the camp from germany have expressed similar sentiment in that regard. they said they'll keep a watchful eye on what's happening off the pits, but of course their main focus is going to be successful on the pitch. now let's take another look at the roster because there are some fuel missions. now i'm up front. the additions i spoke of the names you want to focus on is mckoko. you know,

he was lighting it up, you know, for dorman 2nd team. and i'm happy to see him get his opportunity along with nicholas full croup and defensively. the goalkeeper one goal keeper, one defender not included much hummel's, was one name omitted off the list, and a few injuries year team o vana, in terms of attack and markle royce, i think in terms of injury, bug mark royce, it has this thing, him the most in the last decade, he's only been healthy for one major turn to me. you know, so he, he was the team. well, how did you flick even mentioned him as well? he feels that he feels bad. obviously the team has to prepare for a different rural cup. there's been a lot of football in the build up more football, all these competitions to juggle. but regardless of all that, everyone's going to be giving. they're all in a, i'm pulling for teams or so whether jenny plays fantastically or not. who do you think might be the when you know my as think woods me to lean towards france a to mom was yellow to mom was yellow. is a name. i think that will play himself on the radar. the likes a cleaning, bob

a and the other electric players and young talent around the world because he is exceptional. and it really depends on who shows up. we can see maybe mario goods become the hero. once again, we will be watching closely. chris harrington, thank you. thank you. all right and just some time for some racing use. the 2003 formula, one ferrari driven by germany's mecca issue maha has sets a record that they saw the bees auction house is sold for more than 13000000 years . now. that is the highest ever amount from modern formula one car ship race 9 times in this particular vehicle, winning 5 grand prix in the 2003 season, including the race that saw him clinch the title in japan. now schumacher has not been seen in public since suffering serious injuries due to a skiing accident back in 20. 13 is
