thinking everything to make you make a change. you reviewed this week on d. w. ah, ah. ah, this is d w. news line from berlin. the devil. democrats come a step closer to securing a majority in the u. s. senate mark kelley windsor race in arizona, meaning the democrats dry, even with the republicans. 2 other senate races are still undecided, corresponded, joins us from washington. jo,

wide and joined the asian leaders in cambodia. the u. s. president is seeking regional support for containing china's influence. we've got the latest from for non pants, and ukraine celebrates as it forces. liberate the southern city of hassan crowds, cheer rushes, retreat, and president lensky. calls it a historic day. ah, i'm here until thanks for joining us. we begin in the us where days after the u. s . midterm elections control of congress is still up in the air. democrat, mark kelley won a reelection or when re election, rather in a key senate race in arizona. he defeated the trump back to venture capitalists like masters who has yet to concede, democrats and republicans now have 49 seats. each in the upper house of congress control will come down to the results in nevada or georgia, which is going to run off in december or washing correspondence. susan was gone to

has more on the sickness seconds of this victory for the democrats and president joe biden. it's pretty important, erin, i mean, he puts democrats, as you said, one seed away from extending that majority that they have in the senate for another 2 years. and arizona as a state really has been key to democrat senate majority. i mean, if you remember in 2020 president biden just narrowly won the state, it was key to as victory. it is a hotly contested state. there were big campaigns we saw on both sides of the aisle to really energized voters. for example, latino voters who were a big part of the electorate. there it was an unexpected. so the democrat mark kelley was favorite heading to the selection. and he had opened up a decent lead over his opponent. but what it means now going forward is that there's going to be all the more scrutiny on what comes out of nevada. that is the other swing state we're vo counting is still taking place in the democrat. there is behind at the moment by around a 1000 votes. and of course,

aaron georgia as well we're, we're going to see a run off between the republican and democrat candidates for senate on december 6th, so lot still hanging in the balance. alright, so more kelly defeated a candidate backed by former president donald trump and we saw actually many trumpet candidates doing poorly in this years. polling. does that mean the trump brand may be running out of steam? well i think, you know, we have to talk about the former president and what he's been facing this past week . i mean, it hasn't been the best week for him. many of his endorse candidates as he said, like blake masters in arizona. dr. austin, pennsylvania. they loss and we're actually seeing right wing media questioning the former president's hold over the party. so fox news here has been bringing on guests who are openly calling for the former president to move on i. he is not happy about any of this. he's expected to announce next week that he's running again for president, and he's been lashing out on his social media platform truth social. but you know, the former president has been counted out before,

so i think it really is too soon to say. and just a quick note, and aaron, also, you know, he has actually started a brand of conservative populism. that has become this hard right movement. that is still very influential in the republican party. he's energized part of the electorate that previously didn't really vote for the republican party with the fervor that it does now. so he's unleashed something among a core group of supporters and people running for office. that certainly isn't going away or you different, right? it doesn't seem that gonna be going away anytime soon, but what do these mid term results mean for the upcoming presidential reason 2024? well, we're starting to see some of those tips fall. so as i said, we're likely going to find out very soon if the former president donald trump is going to run, i believe he will and that he will make that announcement tuesday of next week. and joe biden, the current president, he feels validated vindicated by these election results. so that means that he is more likely to run. he says he intends to,

but he's going to consult his family and, and the party. and he's going to make a decision by early next year. so i think the 2 parties, aaron, are going to be taking notes and breaking down all the numbers, looking at who voted for whom and, and where and trying to figure out what the best path is to victory in 2 years time . but again, so much can change in 2 years. really does seem like the races, anything but decided at this point. all right, that was did. of course of correspondence. we saw misconduct reporting for us from washington. thank you for analysis away from washington. you as president joe biden is meeting asian leaders at a summit. cambodia she wants the 10 member block to help contain china's growing influence in the region. widens as the association of southeast asian nations is at the heart of his administration strategy, the regional. he's promising to talk with key issues including climate change. the rule of law, biden's presence is meant to lay the groundwork for meeting with the chinese president. she and families vacuum. now, earlier i ask your matters. our correspondent been on penn how biden's plan to work

with ozzy members to counter chinese influence is playing out there. what a day the level of the relationship was listed to that of a strategic partnership. and the american president made clear here in prom pen at the meeting of the 10 as young member states. that it is this new partnership that will tackle the biggest issues of our times. now this new partnership on has to say is largely symbolic and it is an upgrade to the u. s. relations and upgrade that china already got a last year. the real issue for the american president here is that the other member states do not want to pick sites when it comes to the rivalry between china and the u. s. all right, but we also know that me and mars also on the agenda what's being said there, about the state of affairs in the, in more what really as an, as a diverse crop of states. and so the concern is if you move into anything like eco

know, make sanctions against the member state, which myanmar are still is, then that is something that could hit you and on the way on the road into the future and could hit yourself. and so they're rather careful about it when, when it comes to me on mar, the opinion here really is it is not as a on that field, but it is military rulers and me on mar, that are not complying with what, as an agreed with them. some one and a half years ago. so the frustration about how bad things really are in me on my runs very deep. let's take a look. a residential area in myanmar houses on fire across the country. entire villages have been set ablaze. international observers say the military is behind the attacks. those who have not fled to violence are living in fear, ankle, when my cousin was shot in the street, he saw just attached

a mind to his body meant for whoever tried to retrieve it. didn't someone tried to move the party with a long stick? my mind went off immediately to tampa. we caught his body back in pieces, flew to nagle warrior descent, including smuggling pictures like these out of me and mar, can be life threatening the repression and the on grew dallas. he of the operations that the military is committing against his own people. i think there's been no barrow before now. we aren't getting. let's be frank, we're not getting any substantial assistance from abroad. there are hopes that the asean summit in put on pan could change that. the association of southeast asian nations is based on political and economic interests. the host nation cambodia, underlined what's at stake. global cut no closer to like perfect millions of people live in our region. depend on wisdom and our foresight. longer model. everything

depends on us making the right decision. so job corps, we say rich guy, why? but the un secretary general criticized how the international community had handled myanmar. everybody has 5 musicians with the international community as a whole list of the web spots of international it is the domestic to see in the suffering of the bn bodies. man, mars generals have been banned from attending the summit. still a consensus on concrete action. it could be elusive. the us, china and russia are invited to the meeting, all big players with conflicts of their own. some are doubtful that change will materialize. amir mas case has to be an aids has to be dr. basil discussed at these high level summits. some people are

becoming very out, discouraged and cynical thing. now, all is globalized, not going to have any effect. brutal seems like these serve as a powerful reminder of just how badly action is needed. no geared this conflict in me more has been going on for years. can we actually expect any type of progress? the summit lead us year at the summit in cambodia decided now on a 15 point plan and there are some surprises in there. for instance, especially as the an and boy is now ready to meet oppositional parties in myanmar, which gives them a quite a big boost and didn't go down. oh, well, at all with the military rulers, in myanmar, also the foreign ministers of ozzy on are now meant to hammer out a plan how to make substantial progress. and the message for me on my, from the summit is if there will be no substantial progress. and for the 1st time,

there is talk of a timeline for that piece plan that has been agreed if there is no progress, then all representatives, including the non political ones that so far had an observer status, will be uninvited from all ministerial meetings and summits that are the on is having the right, that was the top is geared matters into non pen. thank you for your reporting. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. activists or staging a worldwide day of action as the you and climate conference in egypt reaches the halfway mark. several 100 protesters joined a rally in sidney, while others demonstrated outside the capone. 7 talks in channel, shake egypt, companion campaigners a greenhouse gas emissions are still rising just my pledges meet at previous summits. can in troops have arrived in the democratic republic of congo on a peacekeeping mission around a 100 soldiers landed at goma in the east congo has been struggling to contain our militias. that of captured territory in inflamed ethnic tensions. police in bolivia
