doesn't look like the republicans, even if they want it to would be able to do much to stuff. well, the house is still undecided, but republicans are still favor to when they're, if they do what is that likely to mean for president biden's foreign policy agenda? well, i think it really comes down to this important question of ukraine, as i said. and i think what, what it would mean is that there would be more scrutiny of a lot of the spending that biden has pushed in support for ukraine. and for the republicans. you know, you really have to remember here that they are also divided on this question. there is some people who want no support for ukraine. some people want less support. but ultimately, i think, you know, they are not going to be able to help the path that biden has, has plowed here when it comes to ukraine and really, really, to other issues. because it's also worth remembering that foreign policy is really in the hands, primarily of the president in the united states. and it's only when he needs money

for something that he has to go to congress. right. that was political magazines, method partnership. thank you for your insights. thank you. and we turned ukraine. now we're ukrainian forces. have we taken the strategically important town of have sun but the russian withdrawal has left behind devastation and danger with booby traps bombs and destroyed infrastructure. posing a challenge for returning residence. oh, blue and yellow on the street. so some of the more than 8 months on the russian occupation, the day residents dreamed of has finally arrived. one doesn't know what chicago we've been waiting for this for so long. you know, like we've been without water and electricity for months. but we're happy to day. it's incredible. valley ha. russian forces have now withdrawn from his own the only regional capital they captured since the war began. it is

survivors, there is a recognition that things simply cannot go back to the way they were before. with the most difficult thing is that many of our neighbors became tracers. they said that russia's here forever. ukrainian authorities say russian forces are regrouping on the other side of the dinner for a river. they wandered, her son may soon be the target of retaliatory strikes from russian artillery. but despite the danger, the streets of her son, a once again alive with celebration and relief, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. benjamin netanyahu jasmine israel's president isaac hertzog with fishery, asked him to form a government. the veteran, former prime minister, is on track to form a stable right when coalition, after he and his fall right alleys. one of one, a majority of seats in elections earlier this month than yahoo had vowed to return to power after being ousted less than 2 years ago. or in parties in ethiopia have

increasingly assertive china by day is due to meet with china's president cheating ping the g. 20 summit in bali on monday to deliveries welcoming remark. d to be corresponded yard motus was infant on pen for the meeting of the ozzy and leaders, and he sent us this report. it's been a very packed agenda at this as young the summit here and the can body and capital of clump and not just for leaders from southeast asia, but also for east asian and nations. here, tackling all sorts of problems from me on mar to north korea. the message for military leaders and me and blah was that amazon wants to see some real progress on the piece plan that has been agreed between asi on in myanmar. and there was a surprise here that as an will grow, an 11th member has been formally accepted. and that is, is timor for the american president of the, of the, on summit of the 2 days he attended was a great opportunity to meet allies, but also to make new partners ahead of his crucial meeting with the chinese leader

at the g. 20 meeting in bali. the key problem biden faces it with ozzy on is basically that the southeast asian nations here are not particularly keen to pick sites in the rivalry for influence in this region between china and the u. s. ah, sports news now and germany plays host to the end. the fels 1st ever regular season, american football game today, the seattle seahawks take on the tampa, buccaneers in munich, or 70000 fans are expected to attend. the anna fills the view in germany, which will feature this or it's most iconic player. tom brady, the nfl is raining, king of accomplishments, with 7 super bowl rings, is on the verge of playing the leagues 1st ever game in germany. there is amazing, i know, and i told all my teammates that you know you're, you're not gonna necessary. remember, every game you play in your whole career. ah, but these ones you do remember, they're very special ah,

just to go to another place. and i mean have an experience like this center, you know, when i'm older, i'll be thinking about pracs annanette stadium right there and, and going to play in an alley on serena, which is amazing. so you know, this is your whole life is made of memories and experiences and to do with the teammates and do it with a game that i love. and football has brought me a lot of places in life and has brought me to germany now. the nfl had no trouble at all. silly, now the tickets to its day bew on sunday and munich between the seahawks and buccaneers. it's not only a contest between 2 division leaders. it's also one featuring an icon in this poor tom brain. so is germany ready for some football? the answer that has d w sports, chris harrington, who joins us now in the studio. so chris white, exactly the and if l choosing to play a game here in germany. well, obviously money is involved, you know, they want to expand their brand,

they research ceiling domestically, and it's not the 1st venture in germany over 3 decades ago. there was actually a preseason game that kicked off right here in related alertly stadium. and then that was the precursor for nfl europe. that was something that started in the early nineties to early 2, thousands. but it really failed in connecting in a basically a strong fan base with television and radio. you know, but here we go. one fact, a fun fact that people might not realize is that germany has a huge fan base that support american football. at one point there was a free to air television back between 20122015. the seattle seahawks actually had the largest german speaking fan base, germany's the number one market for growth according to all of the nfl executives. and they're looking forward to it. obviously they brought the biggest name in the sport to pretty much help. so tickets, tom brady, i mean he's basically the michael jordan equivalent to football. i'm sure all the vans are thirsty in

a salivating to see him. i take his 1st napa historic when at that here in germany . so how significate is playing the game here in germany for the nfl, but also for germans of football fans? well, i think from the nfl perspective speaking, as an american, you know, i think it will be a cultural experience. you know, there is a fair culture that exists in the nfl in the united states, a small pockets, a big difference. something that unique about germany is, you know, the masses, you know, you typically see a lot of celebrating it. but as they can, you see teams the other football, you know, the players celebrating interacting with fans. that's something that tom brady touched on because he has an actual famous german american footballer. let's take listen. so my friend sebastian vollmer, who had played with one of the great german football players ever, ah, he told me that the crowds for the soccer games here are the best in the world. so that's what i'm expecting. i expect to be really loud and they'll be cheering all game. ah. so i'm sure they're very educated group of fans. they probably know

football quite a bit now. all right, so the nfl is coming back to germany. what do you think is going to be a one off game, or are they here to stay? well, they've actually started and kicked off their international series, and that was in london where it started off, but up i believe 2007 in london. they've kicked off games, they've been had games in mexico, and they've expanded, they had games, a 2 stadiums in london. one had taught them in one at wembley. and now in germany, we're seeing this, the expansion, obviously game. actually, most people, not really, most people might not realize this, but since this all started 30 games, regular season, nfl games have actually kicked off overseas in frankfurt. oh, frankfurt stadium will host to matches. and byron unix aaliyah's arena will host another match. featuring, obviously, hopefully a big name, maybe not as big as tom brady, but the inner feels goal is really to attract young fans a young fan base. and hopefully this will be something that can kick start that and he can grow. and there are even been rumblings maybe in the distant future. we can

actually see the international franchise be established. and that would be something that would really help connect the dots of this beautiful game that i love america. all right, well i'm afraid we have to leave it there. that was d w's. chris harrington, thanks for joining us today. thank you. all right, that's all for now, but do stay tuned off. next is world stories the week reports and don't forget our website, debbie dot com for more international headlines around the clock. likewise, we have social media where a handle is at t w. news. i'm here until cumberland, thanks for watching. mm academy issues with all say we'll credit you a.
