mensray series will show you how people, companies and countries are we thinking everything and making later changes were 1000000 for cuba. if a massive cyber attack or something like that happens and we can reboot our country from the outside. well, a lot more from it's our future after all, and if we don't do something, our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air with a waterfall. euro revealed this week on d. w. who will call the shots in the u. s. congress for the next 2 years. 2 days after the mid term elections, the balance of power between republicans and democrats may come down to the very last votes, and they will not be tallied until december. republican candidates, they trusted in the power of a donald trump endorsement to catapult them to mid term victory. it didn't happen.

and if trump makes another run for the white house, where were republicans but their trust then i'm broke off in berlin. this is the day ah, it is a good day for democracy. there's a good day for america. most people thought we're going to lose by 89 or 10 points . and we're basically, you know, when he, by little bit hopefully will one of the end. this must be a read wave. you guys, you were talking about us losing 30 to 50 seats. that's not going to happen. we're when even that doesn't mean we want. and again, i don't want to get over my skis. our democracy has been tested in recent years. but with their votes, american people have spoken and proved once again. that democracy is who we are. also coming up in many people are binge watching

a new season of the netflix series, the crowd. it takes place during the night t 9, the turbulent times for queen elizabeth and the royals. it may be good television, but is it true history as royal sandals? damage the country's reputation with binding the nation together and setting an example of idea, eyes, family, life, situation that can help that affect the stability his account. i don't think it's flattering. no, i think that would be not. i think that would be doing and him and, and the audience to service, but i think it's fair and i think it's i think peter is always written with the idea of every, every, every on a fair hearing to our viewers watching on p b as to the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with the current to you as president and the man who wants to have his job again. presently joe biden has called the results of tuesday's midterm elections.

good for democracy. with democrats holding on to more seats in congress than they had expected. the next 2 years of the biden administration are looking better than many expected democrats had a strong night and we lost fewer seats in house representatives than the democratic presence. first, mid term election, the last 40 years and we had the best midterm for governors since 1986. i'm prepared to work in my republican college, the american people who made clear, i think that they expect republicans be prepared to work with me as well. as the president their sounding bipartisan, a positive spin on those results. it all sounds good unless you are the republicans who ran for congress with donald trump's endorsement. those candidates, of course last, it may be a time for soul searching for the g o. p. and for donald trump as well in just the last 24 hours, more and more republicans have gone public with the call for change,

meaning they want a presidential candidate in 2024 who will win and whose name will not be donald trump is trump's bid for the white house is it over before it even begins again? on my 1st guess to night, he knows a thing or 2 about the white house. the former white house inside of richard painter was the chief ethics lawyer for president george w bush. he's now a professor of corporate law at the university of minnesota fraser painter. it's good to have you. with us again, your politics is changing all the time in the united states. i want to start today by showing our viewers the front page of the new york post today. i don't know if you've seen it, but i'll, i'll describe it here. it shows donald trump as humpty dumpty, sitting on a wall. and it reads dawn who couldn't build a wall, had a great fall. can all the g o p 's men put the party back together again? now we have to remind ourselves, the near pose. that's

a rupert murdoch newspaper. does this tell you that the republican party is now done with donald trump? what we don't know all will say what happens and whether donald trump declares for the presidency and what the reaction is ok from leading republicans. we do now that the governor to santa supplier and i had a very good night on tuesday and i winning his re election as governor there by blow out. this is a state that, of course, was very hotly contested between democrats and republicans. when george w bush became president, but is now republican dominated, so dissatisfied, certainly a threat to donald trump. the governor dishonest decides to run for president night . the republicans, though, on tuesday night around the conference, i had 3 problems. one of them is donald trump in the baggage of donald trump. americans are tired of him, and particularly for most americans, protect, swing borders,

are very upset about the way donald trump refused to conclude. the fate in 2020, and the insurrection of january 6, and his contribution to their donald trump is a lot of baggage for the republican party. second, of course, was the abortion issue, which is motivated a lot of orders, particularly women voters in the suburbs, not support the republican party at all. now getting rid of donald trump won't solve that problem unless the republican party takes a more moderate stance on abortion rights. and then the 3rd problem was the body candidates. there were a number of candidates, particularly those who were pushed in promoted in primaries by donald trump. who were inferior candidates, who did very poorly, and dr. r, as in pennsylvania, was one of them, the republicans that opportunity to nominate someone who would have been a very staunch conservative, but more traditional republican. and they might have one that c, no,

and they did is a seat that was republican, has now gone over to the democrats in pennsylvania. would you say the dresser painted that? by listening to you? it sounds like you think that a trump endorsement has now become toxic at the ballot box. is that what the mid terms are telling us? drop and doors but apparently worked very well in primaries. ah, in republican primaries were only the most die hard republicans shall walk. but in the general election, trump endorse is very toxic. because swing voters, those are some possible democrats, some time to vote republican. i will have no respect for, for the donald trump's approach to elections. and donald trump last by 8000000 votes in 2020 and it wasn't even. this is not a bush versus gore situation like what we had in year 2022 years ago. and the way donald trump hamilton being a sore loser and all that,

but it instigating violence and engaging in other seditious activity that was probably criminal and that he may get indicted for i think he should get value for that is a very big turn off for the vast majority of american bait, the do you still think the vendor is he going to go ahead and announced his candidacy where he may and whether or not he thinks he can win on a match analysis can't. is it because he's focused only on himself and his own ego? he also may think that announced his candidacy will slow down the department of justice. investigation and potential indictment uh, president trump, in connection with in particular the insurrection of january sex and the attempt to overthrow the united states government. i mean, there was normal amounts of evidence that has been made public now about his role in trying to do anything. he could to stay in power, basically a self qu, which has happened to many democracies. oh, where someone is empower,

wants to stay in power and will reject democratic elections and we simply can't tolerate that united states, but he may want to declare his candidacy. so the department of justice. thanks. ok . now it might be a political conflict of interest for us to invite him because he's now a candidate. we have to put a special council and we have to delay this another 6 months or a year. and i think that be a mistake for their partner. justice if they happen to do evidence of died in there, but they haven't indicted the 1st payment and that's what makes me wonder if maybe he's thinking that this attorney general, mary garland, is not going to take action against a former president. and therefore of course, yeah, it makes sense for him to declare his candidacy and he can just run down the clock . i mean, do you think that the justice department is going to to change course now that the midterms are over? well they certainly wouldn't have been di them immediately before they and the midterm. so if they're going to die, they wouldn't die after the midterms. i believe the evidence is overwhelming. they

probably want to let the january 6th committee finish up with its hearings. a lot of the evidence is been exposed there are, i wrote not bad at the washington post with professor claire frank was going to the university pennsylvania. we laid out the case for dieting. donald trump, for criminal sedation, in connection with his conduct after the election. he committed other crimes and offices. well, i think the attorney general needs to get gone. ah, we cannot have anyone who is above the law. not a president, not a former president. if we want to keep our representative democracy, professor richard painter is always depend. we appreciate your time and your insights. always appreciated. thank you. thank you very much for having me. ah. following the mid terms, the bite administration has been quick to assure you crane that it will be business as usual. the weapons and the aid will continue flowing whatever the outcome. the

white house brushing off concerns that a republican controlled house of representatives in congress could perhaps pull the plug on assistance for keith in the war with russia. here's the president's special assistant. our expectation is that the outcome of the mid term elections is not going to impact u. s. policy towards ukraine in the least, the strong bipartisan support for all the actions we've taken to support the ukranian people in government and hold russia accountable. so no, we don't expect any major changes. and that comes, as russia says that its troops have started withdrawing from the strategic city of here. so in southern ukraine, ukraine's army, she says that it's too soon to say whether or not this is really happening. there's on or was the 1st major city to fall after russia began its invasion back in february. it's the only regional capital that is still under russian control. the move is being seen as a major setback for moscow,

but some say the withdrawal could be a trap set by the russians. we have more on this now with adama, tiller, zagata, mosul. she is an expert in russian for an insecurity policy at kings college london dom until it's going to have you on the program. russia is saying that it's forces or retreating from here, so on. but ukraine, the military is not rushing in to fill in a vacuum. why is that? well, i think of as the effect by your correspond. and i mean for your premiums are very worried that it could be a trap. i'm that to, you know, they could face as some kind of ambushes. i mean, what they're reporting is saying is also that there are no sort of roadblocks line . so if you say, if you could advance making, it's not an easy one. but i think that this announcement was made primarily for internal russian consumption primarily to prepare the russian public to that,

to the food withdrawn from, from the area from, from, from the city. so, and i'm from sort of the north west bank of need a riva. so i think we need to see to have within, to sort of perspective so, so you're saying that this announcement is, is basically a p r, move for the russian military to prepare the russian public for what for, for a defeat or for yet another blow to this campaign i, i think that if they look at what had happened in the areas of kind of keys, when there was a major sort of advanced, my ukranian full says i'm that it was sort of a collapse of russian forces in that area. and in the north east, that was there came as a real shock to mine in russia. and it was seen as a, as carried out in a very sort of unprofessional mom not without taking care about, you know, so here is an equipment. so what the russians are trying to do,

if they are actually the timing to withdraw is to do a non more a sort of organized and professional manner. and this is going to take us everybody days. so what i think what they are trying to do is to sort of prepare their population to add to these, to this event, which is in many ways a serious defeat. i mean, we, as we, as we know a few weeks ago, this was considered, you know, the copy of one of the next regions. so also we must consider that now, you know, the position of the russian government is much weaker. they have relied on mobilization of const great, so there is much more in this so it requires sort of additional explanations. and now that we face change, i think of who is in charge of the operations in ukraine from the russian point of view. you know, there is not to have been to professionalism backed up communication and i think this is, this is really part of it. of course,

it makes sense for your brain is to be cautious. but what is interesting is that today we see very heavy fighting in bar mode in the back mode area. so this does not mean a trace of giving up, and he's not going to fight any longer. i mean, they are the area where russia is fighting quite intensely and there is a lot of concern around the area that let me pick up there. what you said about an attempt to bring more professionalism in the leadership of this more just a couple of weeks ago, a new commander was on this war. this campaign was, was put into place, sergey sort of keyvi. and he was put into place by vladimir putin. now he is the one who has announced this withdrawal on state television. it looks like vladimir putin could be using this man to keep his distance away from any possible military defeats. is that a, a correct assessment in your opinion?

i think what is happening is probably that i, that this and newly commander sort of eking these trying to ship to find a way to hold positions more effectively and to reduce ukraine and advances. i'm. that requires that to evade they've been done more effective 9 of defense along that sort of the southern or eastern banks of the near but river. and that's where they are actually doing. so i think what i want to put in is, is, is, is thinking, is, are to and now may be way them more professional or individual in charge. there is a chance maybe to stop ukrainian. i bounces on maybe to gain some to rang. and i, so i think that the russians are not giving up, they're not thinking that this is a major knowledge. and this is also been a sort of a trade in the russian media as are necessary retreat to safe man. so that the, at a later stage we can come back. so i, it's, it seemed really i sort of saving man for a later stage where we can then come back when get it prepared on more. so if

you're a quick, so i think we have to really understand how this is being sold to the russian public, not as a major defeat a data sort of rationally move to better protect areas that they controlling now. and to maybe think that in the future they can try to conquer these territories. again, which i think is kind of very unlikely at the moment. and what it also shows is that correct? yes, sorry, unfortunate dunghill. we're, we're out of time, but i just want to say thank you, we appreciate your time. and so i just like this is valuable analysis to an insight into what is actually going on. also maybe in the minds of the military in russia. thank you. thank ah, are you bingeing on the crown this week? if you are, you are not alone. the longer anticipated season 5 of the british drama, the crown finally dropped on netflix this week. the popular series chronicles the

life and times of the british monarchy under the late queen elizabeth and this latest season, it begins the $900.00 ninety's and it is turned out to be the most controversial yet. let's take a look at what's in store. oh, house royal's channels damaged the country's reputation of winter should be binding the nation together setting an example of idealized family life. the 19 nineties and the british war family is under strain. my behavior is threatened by a few as future king have a duty marrow to discord, public descent under fire at windsor castle 12 months and through it all, the queen mist manage her family and the reputation of the royal brand. in this 5th outing of the series created by peter morgan, imelda thornton takes over the monarch. what peter morgan does is try to make

people understand like what is like if i to be a member of the royal family, you have to put a face on whatever's going on behind closed doors. there's a lot going on. dominic west betrays the now king, then prince of wales, charles, it's a time of his life that was, you know, not only of the prime of his life, but also in many ways the most difficult time. his life. and i felt that i felt enormous. and between symptoms for him of the one condition, the crown is no stranger to criticism, but this season has come under particular fire. critics say the mixture of historical fact and dramatized fiction could prove confusing even damaging to the royal it stars disagree fails. it's all about where rough. i think peter is always written right with the idea of gabriel. every. every on a fair hearing and um, i love the guy and i like the way, i mean if my friend have done it without him,

everyone has watched the crown for 4 seasons. hasn't bothered them before. whatever you've used the crown season fight is a drama packed emotional rollercoaster. that makes for a nail biting been was. who did it come to this? how did he come to this to help us separate facts? maybe from fiction? i'm joined now by royal commentator, mr. richard fitz williams, he joins me from london. mr. pitts. winged, it's good to see you again. so, you know, i have to ask you, beginning here, are you binge watching this late a season of the crown? indeed i have, and i have to say that a large number of people throughout the world many millions will watch it. my concern is that there are so many inaccuracies, both in the sand, in previous series, and a lot of them will believe what they see is in fact what actually happened. and that's been a great deal of come from us from a former prime ministers attending clarence john major,

tacking it some day to day calling for a disclaimer. something that there for each episode would say that the, from the fictional privatization of natural events should be that it is on the marketing. so net fixed, seated the principal, but they haven't included in the actual films. ok, without spoiling this for people maybe who have not seen the new episode yet. tell me what you considered to be the most egregious in terms of yet, you know, historical inaccuracy. well, it begins and ends with cows are trying to persuade 1st you, sir john major. and secondly, tony blair, to persuade the queen to abdicate this is complete nonsense. just as the scene where diana's brakes failed in her car, something that she in an unstable state of mind, always feared,

is also wrong. peter morgan, it's created and he did the queen, i suppose film has said that sometimes you have to do that accuracy. but you should never does a truth since the very beginning. although the earlier episode to clarify i, when played when she played the queen, why my opinion thomas balanced. he has been very cavalier with the cruise. it his aim an anti monarchist cracked. unfortunately. no. is that what you think it is, mister fitz waves is the person writing this behind this season? is someone who actually would like to see there not be a monarchy in the u. k. effectively? yes, i mean he would deny that. he said that this was his loved lesson to the queen if say it's got very, very poisoned and used to it because he has in the past compared the monarchy to a mutating virus. yes,

no question. the production values are remarkable unless some so per performance is particularly elizabeth to vicki as a very unstable diana. but he sees the crown of poison callison. he sees the royal family around them on as sufferers and victims, and some of them unquestionably, for example, jonathan price, very good performance of the duke of edinburgh, but more with a wandering eyes and the very beginning of the series, it keeps hinting it never proven a doll to raise and one of the problems with the crown. those who are not familiar with the history won't know the best. so outrageous lies a particularly and i did that a 6 and episode where the google van braves blame when prince philip at golden stood for the death of his sister cecile in a crash. something that will complete lie. so it's, it's a very mixed pick. shanise people will be entertained by it on the mix of politics

and royalty. somehow find it resistible. but when you're watching, do bear in mind what you see isn't necessarily what happened at all. miss vincent, do you know how the royals themselves and how they feel about the show and i know it, some people are wondering what the late queen elizabeth herself would it would have thought that she had seen the season. i mean, have you heard what the royals themselves think? we know the prince harry and it's well mentioned that thanks produces the crown and harry and megan have a contract with netflix. you said a role that he thinks that they were as fiction. i it is nonetheless an acceptable grant of station. we know that sam prince is an certainly watch some of the scenes where she appeared. but beyond that, there's been a lot of conjecture, but they think, i think that those will be very,

very painful. for example, but 2 episodes and you can't do that in the $99.00 to which is the nightmarish time for the family. you simply come with events without looking at ha panorama was dishonesty obtained. and i screamed, we see that this will cause a great deal of pain. i think, to the prince of wales. he did call for the actual program never to be screened again. this will bring it all back to him and indeed the dead one, obviously. so the royal family count. so it is only reasonable that the crime, in my opinion, put to the claimant to make it clear to millions who may be confused that a lot of this is fiction or some of it is malicious fiction. yeah, i mean, you did, but you did make a good point. i've heard a lot of people just asking in pads and you know was, is that true? did that really happen? and yeah, if you, if you don't know the intricacies of royal history,

you're right. you may think that it is true, but we will be watching. i'll be bingeing as well. in the next coming days, or you'll commentator richard fitzwilliam joining us tonight. what it is always mr . it's williams is good to have your voice. thank you. thank well the day is almost done, the conversation continues online to find a twitter news. you can follow me at brent gov tv. every member whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then everybody with
