awe inspiring story about survival. thanks to music. patch the cello player. well, i was the only one i'm super lucky. music under the swastika starts november 19th on t w. ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. us democrats retain control of the senate in the countries mid term elections. catherine cortez musto beats. her trump endorsed arrival in nevada and to give the democrats 50 seats in the upper house. our

washington correspondents will bring you the latest. also coming up in cambodia, the asi, an summit, wraps up with an agreement on a strategic partnership with the united states bond. will that strengthen us president biden ahead of his talks with the chinese premier at the g. 20 summit, we go to our correspondent, numb pan, to find out, plus the warring parties in ethiopia to take another step towards peace with a cease fire holding a fresh deal allows humanitarian aid into the war torrent t bry region. ah, i'm marina evans, dean. it's good to have you with us. you as democrats, having to fight expectations in the countries mid term vote to when a crucial seat to control the senate. democrat, catherine court as musto has one re election in the vada senate race. the victory

gives her party control of the chamber for the next 2 years of jo biden's presidency court as motto defeated, her republican challenger adam lac salt, whose early lead dwindled after late counted ballads came in. person on the wind breaks the historical trend of the president's party, typically losing seats and mid term elections. let's take a look now at the numbers. these are the seats that are not up for grabs and this election. and if you add all the newly decided races, you can see the democrats leaving with 50 seats, while the republicans hold 49 seats. one seat is still open, ga, holds a run off valid in december band with vice president. come with harris being able to cast time breaking votes. control of the senate is now out of reach for the republicans. i'm joined now from washington, d. c. by my colleagues in the misconduct. so see me. this was among the tightest

raises in the country, but certainly it's a great result for the democrats, isn't it? certainly it's a great result for the democrats. i mean, this was very close and we knew heading into these elections that this race in particular, would come down to the wire. i mean, what you need to know about nevada is that this was the senate race. the democrats were most worried about. they saw the democrat here, catherine cortez moscow. as being one of the most endangered senate democrats in the country. she was down in the polls ahead of the election to her republican opponent, adam lac salt will made a difference words those malin ballots that have been meticulously counted all week . and we know that male in ballots tend to skew in the favor of the democrats. now i spend some time on the ground with the most powerful private sector union in nevada. that is the culinary workers union. and they really are a powerhouse for the democrats. they ran a massive canvassing campaign going door to door with working class voters with voters of color in particular, trying to a stump for the democrats,

essentially because they say the democrats are the ones that best reflect their policies that might have made a difference. but certainly we'll have to wait and see who voted how. but yes, this is for the democrats, a really significant victory. now, assuming we can see it's still very late at night in washington where you are and this news broke rather late on saturday us. so our democrats reacting in how are they reacting to this victory? wishing some democrats a, taking a twitter, for example, helena says a victory for democracy, for reproductive rights. and as a clear repudiation of republicans and the democrats in the lead up to this vote worked hard to paint republicans as extremists that would put democracy at front. and remember that heading into these elections, we had expected this republican red wave that republicans would sweep through the house of representatives and to possibly the senate that did not materialize. a

president biden himself has been one of the loudest voices saying that voters are very clear that they trust the democrats in their policies. and he actually commented on, on this victory. i'm at the, as an summit in cambodia. take listen to what he said or to a word, congratulations. this is sure. murray's got a majority again. we're focusing now on. i'm ga. feel good, lower. and i know i'm a car optimist. understand. i'm not surprised, but i'm incredibly, please get to reflection. quality work candidates so the president, they're referring to the state of georgia, remember that there is a run off for there on december 6th between the republican candidate and the democratic candidate. but this does take pressure off that state to be the decisive factor in who will have control of a senate. this victory, nevada also means that democrats can have

a majority on the committees in the senate, so that's another boon for them. so that's something that the president is certainly celebrating. will see me tell us a bit more about what democratic control of the senate, in fact means for the president's agenda in the next 2 years. we have to weigh 1st of all to see who wins the house of representatives. we're still waiting for some very close races to be called there. but if that does end up that republicans gain control in the house of representatives, they have a slight edge there. we would be talking about divided government, so one chamber of congress that would be in democrats hands the other in republicans, and that still doesn't mean some trouble for president biden and his agenda. so republicans have vowed that they would stymie any spending plans. he has, for example, spending on climate change or perhaps further pandemic relief in the future. and they also have said that they want to launch investigations into president biden's family into the administration's withdrawal from afghanistan. afghanistan rather

also into immigration policy. so things might still get tricky for the president. but remember, if the republicans do get control of the house of representatives, it would be with a very small majority. and that would make it harder for them as well to pursue all of those things that they promised. so we have to wait and see how the chips fall. still in congress. d. w. cindy's them scanned a reporting from washington. d. c. c. me, thanks so much. well, us, president biden's hand might be strengthened back at home with the latest u. s. senate when, while at the association of southeast asian nations annual summit in cambodia now pen, he forge an important strategic partnership. as the meeting drew to a close, biden promised to deepen ties with a 10 country block initiative comes as a us seeks to boost its influence. in the region, in the face of an increasingly assertive china biden is due to meet with china's president, she paying at the g 20 summit in molly on monday a short time ago i

spoke to w, correspond and gary martin, his income pen to ask, want a u. s. strategic partnership with the ies, in blog would mean it basically means that relations have been lifted to a new level. so we will see closer economic cooperation, but also close a strategic corporation. there was a good example here for closer maritime a corporation because the u. s. president suggests that using a private satellite networks, for instance, to track down illegal fishing. so to track ships in the south china sea or more effectively, the lot of illegal fishing going on, for instance, by china is what southeast asian states are concerned about. but one has to say it is largely symbolic. it is an upgrade in relation to the china already got a last year, so it will really depend on what the u. s. and as the and will make of this. so some advantages for at the southeast asian nations. but what about president

biden's benefits of this? is he leaving the some ants in a stronger position then ahead of his meeting with she's in pink on monday in bali at the d. 20. i'd say most certainly it was a good opportunity to meet with allies, not just from southeast asia, but also from east asia. because today is the as the on east asia summit. it's also been an opportunity to gain a new allies and to talk with them about various subjects, everything from south china sea to him to myanmar one as to say. however, the real problem that biden faces in this region is that southeast asian states don't want to pick sites. and there was a good picture of that illustrating it. yet. yesterday's gala dinner, the u. s. president and the chinese premier were seated on either side of the host hudson. the leader of cambodia only mild the us,

japan and south korea talked about north korean here. how much of a role has the reason escalation of tensions out played at the senate? it is of course a concern for regional stability in a region that was particularly hard who'd buy cove it economically for many countries that is a big concern. so the last thing they would like to see is emasculating a conflict in north korea. the latest missile tests in north korea are very much a concern at today's sidelines of the east asia, on the summit and north of south korea, rather, japan and the u. s. will meet and have bilateral, our trilateral talks. and a key issue will be north korea, because the hope is that the american president will use his meeting with jane ping, the chinese leader at the g. 20 meeting and bobby, to put pressure on the key ally of north korea. that is china to cool down

a bit. d w, georg martez in tom pan. georg, thank you so much. let's get a check now. some of the other stories making news around the world. euros. ukraine's president says russian forces destroyed all critical infrastructure and car. so and before they retreated, ukrainian forces are now working to dismantle russian mines and booby traps around the southern city. the ukrainians have been celebrating the liberation of fair, sun officials or warning that the war is not over. fuel distribution has resumed in haiti after 2 months of shortages caused by armed gangs pumps, reopened after police flushed down. gunman holding the country's main import terminal. the sand off has lent a fuel shortages and prevented the distribution of drinking water to ethiopia. now where warring parties have signed a deal allowing humanitarian supplies into the war torn
