a strong night for democrats, with president biden welcoming the results of the mid term elections, his party, the democrats, they fared better than expected. ah, i'm bring gov. it's good to have you with us that we begin in ukraine. president bodamer zalinski saying tonight the troops, his troops have now liberated 41 communities. as they advance through the south of the country. keeps forces remain cautious after moscow announced the retreat of its troops from the strategic city of hare san ukraine. has yet to confirm it. this is true that many experts say that the latest developments represent a major setback for moscow. ukrainian troops slowly

advance on house on the city has been held by russia since early on in the war. ukrainian president flooded me, zalinski has urged caution. and these soldiers, a wary of possible traps left behind by the retreating russian army for service, wolves threw me who was step by step we will reach victory, norma, we will not rush, losing people on our way with which the russian troops are scared of the law they didn't expect so much resistance from our side and in recent weeks, ukrainian forces have been closing in on house on and say they've already re taken several towns in the region. russia has been relocating tens of thousands of residents and the straits of house on a now virtually empty rushes commander in ukraine announced the retreat in a military briefing on state tv. on wednesday workers,

he argued it was no longer possible to keep supplying hassan rewarded more for a cup of buckle when my foreclosure nibbled 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 or in a limited area. russia's defense ministry says troops have already begun moving out of the city. a forced pull out of russian troops from her son would be a significant blow to vladimir putin. only weeks ago, the russian president announced what he called the forever annexation of the house on region, along with 3 others in a ceremony in moscow. her son was the 1st major city captured by russia at the start of the war. and re taking it could allow ukraine to win back more lost territory in southern areas, including crimea, which russia illegally seized in 2014.

earlier i spoke with our correspondent mathias bellinger in keven. i asked him why the ukrainians are still wary of that russian announcement. it's a bit unusual to announce a withdrawal days in advance and rhetoric has even before hinted at that. so that something that makes a military year suspicious. the plot could very well be to draw the ukrainians into the city of harris on weight there with quite a few units heavily armed and engage the ukrainians and costly street fights or to have major buildings mine to a blow up a parts of the city as the ukrainians enter their many variance, but to this announcement seems a little bit suspicious to people here to the military. and that's why the ukrainians are saying they're moving on very cautiously. they're very well aware that this might be something different from what it looks like in what he has. what

about where you are there in the ukrainian capital key, but what are people they're saying about this withdrawal announcement? at 1st of course, the announcement was met with joy that it was expected that the ukrainians might move on to her son, and that the russians might retreat. but a now of course people are discussing all these possibilities and, and trying to figure out what is really going on. it's, of course, the biggest subject of discussions now in the ukrainian capital it abuse mathias, berliner in keith's mathias. thank you. he was president joe biden has welcome the results of the mid term elections after his party. the democrats fared better than expected. u. s. media had predicted huge gains for the republicans, but that did not materialize. a democrat biden's, democrats look, set to lose control of the house of representatives. but the senate now that

remains on a knife edge from a president. donald trump also claimed a victory for republicans despite the weaker than expected results for the g o p. here's the president speaking a short while ago to members of his party. thank you. i really mean it. thank you for fighting like the devil to make sure that we had a free and fair election. and you know, all those elections and i are so far best of my knowledge, none of them has not said that when they last. i said we lost. that's a big deal. no i, i rarely mean it. you know, tuesday was a good day for america. a good day for democracy. i was a strong night for democrats. let's bring in my colleagues and me. she was gone as she has been covering these midterms words all week. see me. i assumed the president at the beginning of the week was not expecting that he would be able to make

a speech like that this thursday. but that's where he is. that's what he's doing. who benefited the most from these midterms, wasn't the republicans. the democrats was by nor was it former president, donald trump. i think it's safe to say a brand that the democrats and president biden benefited perhaps the most from these elections. we just heard president biden, they're driving home that message once again. he gave the speech at the democratic national convention earlier today, and he said, democrats beat the odds in large part because americans overwhelmingly supported his agenda and his message. and he pointed to the fact that a majority of independent voters, so those who don't vote are not registered, rather with republicans or democrats, that they voted for the democratic party that women and young people showed up in force. so it's clear at this point that the democrats certainly performed better than had been expected. the republicans also did have some bright spots. they were happy to win a big senate seat in ohio, some big congressional seats in new york. they won some big governors races in the

state of georgia, for example, beating stacy abrams. but republicans themselves brent. they are voicing disappointment because they again had expected to do better. and that last part of your question, i think it's safe to say that donald trump did not benefit much from these elections. i mean, many of the candidates that he hand picked did not do very well. it was the more extreme candidates his struggles. so that's raising questions about the viability of riding that trump wave in the republican party. yeah, we, we just spoke with the republican a former one health insider who said that the donald trump endorsement has now become toxic. i wonder what did these mid term election results mean for the next presidential election in 20? 24? well, definitely trouble for donald trump. i mean we're seeing right wing media itself, raising questions about trump's influence on the party, including fox news and, and he's not happy about that. as you can imagine, he's been a raging over on truth social, which is the social media site. he's blaming the republican party. we're book republican officials for making bad choices. and as we've been talking about at the

same time, his rival rhonda santas, the governor florida getting heaps of praise for doing so well. so even though we're expecting the former president to announce that he's running again, the pressure on him is very high to rethink. now for the democrats, we should say that president biden has said he is running as of now, he has to consult his family advisors. he'll come to a decision early next year, he said, and he is facing some headwinds. the fact that he's still unpopular and that he's turning 80 this month. so there might be some factors that change things there, but as of now, it would be president biden, for the democrats in 2024. yeah. and we know 2 years as a new term of the politics, a lot could change, but we're still dealing with these midterm, so we're or vote still being counted. and when will we have the final results? and yeah, we're all eager for final results. but there's a lot of counting still to be done. you mentioned the senate races there on a knife edge. and we got an update recently in the state of nevada that more than

50000 ballots still have to be counted in the largest county where los vegas is, you know, that the huge city. and in the state of words, though, arizona over 400000 votes have to be counted in the biggest county, they are maricopa county were phoenixes. imagine these are 2 huge a cities and both these states are crucial and deciding the balance of the senate. and then lastly, brent will all have to watch georgia again become the epicenter when we see the senate candidates face off in a run off there. so at least by early december, we should have a much clearer picture yet, which is a place for history likes to repeat itself, it suit you w that to me she was gonna, as always, with me. thank you. and here were some of the other stories. now that are making headlines around the world and indonesian plane crash that killed all 62 people on board last year was caused by the pilots over reliance on the alder pilot system, as well as by inadequate training. now that is, according to indonesia, transportation safety bodies, final report on the crash. the tele bon have ordered amusement park owners and
