but the so called red wave, the republicans hoped for failed to materialize. instead, the democrats had their best mid term election results in 2 decades, despite president biden's approval rating. hovering around 40 percent. historically, the party of the sitting president loses seats in mid terms. democrats are hoping victory in the run off vote in georgia in december. we'll hand them an outright majority in the u. s. senate. earlier i talked to matthew karnicia, who is the chief europe, corresponded for political magazine. and i asked him what this all means from a european perspective. well, thanks for having me. i think from a european perspective, one has to rejoice because it's becoming clear that the biden positions towards ukraine, the united states support of ukraine is likely to continue. there will probably be

more scrutiny of the military aid and other 8 that is going into ukraine. but it 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 favorite to win their if they do what is that likely to mean for prison? 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 really have to remember here that they are also divided on this question. there are 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, metal partnership. thank you for your insights. thank you. after russia's withdrawal from her son, ukraine's president zalinski as bound to keep pushing the international forces out of his country, are the invasion forces rather, excuse me. there. russia has left harrison in devastation and danger with booby traps bombs and destroyed infrastructure. posing a challenge for returning residence. i lou in yellow on the street. the song of the more than 8 months on the russian occupation the day residents dreamed of has finally arrived. doesn't know what chicago we've been waiting for this for so long. you know, we've been without water and electricity for months, but we're happy today. it's incredible. alena, wow,

russian forces have now withdrawn from hm. the only regional capital they captured since the war began. it is a message that he declared to the kremlin war effort and a stunning morale boost for ukraine. but even as the country celebrates president, zalinski has told residence to stay vigilant, hewed as healing everywhere in the liberation territory. album disposal experts have a lot of work to do here. lucian, almost 2000 explosive items have already been removed at mines trip wires, an unexploded ammunition vicky narrative. as these 1st pictures coming out of the region showed the scars of the russian occupation are everywhere. residents have endured months without power or basic services. many recount harrowing experiences at the hands of russian occupiers here. okay, that's been a little kids us. when i had a mile annual tied behind my boy, he got the right and then they tied up my legs rather than a war in or he then as i one pulled up a grenade,

didn't vishal that he told me that he would put the grenade under better judgement, so i couldn't run away. dick dudgin with diligence run, not a bit. deb. among the survivors, there is a recognition that things simply cannot go back to the way they were, because the most difficult thing is that many of our neighbors became tracers. they said that rushes here forever ukrainian authorities, a russian forces are regrouping on the other side of the de nick for a river they wanted. 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 now at some of the other headlines making news around the world. benjamin netanyahu has met israel's president, is our catalog who efficiently 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 far right allies,

one of the majority of seats in elections earlier. this month, that young had vowed to return to power after being housed less than 2 years ago. in iranian man who lived in charles de gaulle airport in paris for 18 years, has died, may run karim necessary, made his hold there, after being denied entry into several european countries. as experience inspired the hollywood movie, the terminals are in tom hanks. controls has led his 1st remembrance day service as the british monarch elite wreath at the national war memorial in central london to pay tribute to the u. k. war dead remembrance, sunday is marked every year in the u. k. on the close of sunday to november 11th, u. s. president joe biden has promised to deepen ties with ozzy and announcing a strategic partnership with a 10 member block. the initiative comes as the u. s. seeks to contain the growing influence of increasingly assertive china biden is scheduled to meet chinese leaders teaching at the g. 20 summit in indonesia on monday. and while the u.

s. looks for support and how to handle its relationship with china. germany to is reassessing its position. d w international editor richard walker has more russia's warren, ukraine is forcing a massive global re thing into how geo politics can cause turmoil in the world economy. european countries are rushing to cut their dependence on russian energy and sanctions are having a ripple effect all over the world. we're here in asia. people are thinking about what might be next. and what in particular, if china follows through one day, maybe soon on its threat to invade, ty one? what would that mean for the asian economy? what would that mean for the world economy? these are pricing questions for germany to and germany's vice chancellor robert harvey is here and sing a pool co hosting

a conference this tackling some of these questions. his password is diversification . following through on the idea that germany has become simply too dependent on his economic ties with china. in the last few decades, we spoke to him about how back, thanks for speaking to dodge vella. now you're in here in singapore trying to get the message out. the germany wants to diversify its economy, that it wants to become less dependent on china. not of other countries thinking the same thing. explain what is the problem, why you doing this? or the 1st of all, this is her conference with quite a traditional quarter history for this heavens, conference where a german business litigations are meeting very counterparts from the asian, south, south east asian regions. but this, this conference now is under different circumstances because of the russian aggression on ukraine. energy prices skyrocketing high are here in this region. and

then of course, hopefully a lesson learned. we have to diversify us your search. we are, we have also with regards to raw materials. so semiconductors are critical groups are high dependence on one supplier and this is mandy china and s s. as long as businesses open and everything is working fine. this is an advantage of course, but what if not, and the lesson learned is that we now have to find some security network. and this means that we have to reach out to other regions and other regions may be more interested then before that german businesses, european business are coming to them. now you say as long as everything is fine, i mean, thinking about what are the sort of like risks, scenarios that could happen with in asia. the americans, sounding the alarm more and more about the risk of chinese aggression against taiwan. defect through state tony blink and has been saying that this could happen on a much faster time line than many people had thought. are you planning for this scenario

while you mean you mean you turn us a ticket tow on? yes. well this is our nobody can recon plan for. this is something very, very threatening, and this will have disastrous effect on the whole voice. we have seen the regional conflict like the rushing war on your cry and has brought the whole world into trouble and says close central europe and germany. but also the rest of the road is affected by that. that would be far more cas traffic. so this is something we definitely have to avoid, and i hope to china knows that the whole world is watching about of costs. that might be a scenario below this campus traffic scenario that's still threatening the idea of an influence of a foreign power that might have its own interests and maybe some interests directed against the serenity of the state. it's

a threat and it's have so critical infrastructure. goods that come from critique checked us like telecommunication energy sector, chips and to conduct us must be protect, attend. this does not mean that this no possibility to do business, but we have to take care that we have to own grap known serenity in this, in this field. and this is how we are acting now. now germany is, as you mentioned, depends on how many imports from china, but it's also quite dependent on exports to china. i just want to pick out one example mean volkswagen. you know what a household name around the world. it fails 40 percent of its cause in china. it even says that it has, according to certain numbers, more than 40 factories in china. what happens to those factories if there is some kind of chinese aggression against taiwan, if their international sanction slapped on china? what happens to the factory for this is a threat for the company if,

if they would be affected by sanctions, if that would be a catastrophic scenario. now, i said would be 3 times in one sentence, so they have to know what they're doing. and of course, the checked the german, the german economy. it's in a big company like for walking me and then w b. s f that the for the playoffs in china, which they do risk, their business model, the christian, this is a free market for the politics. some possibilities to, to, to interact perfect and that's we have and this that we would do. we will have a cap on guarantees on investments sort of other companies, although named companies will invest in china boss a certain amount that say 3000000000 sounds reasonable, but can do that,

but people guarantee for that anymore. but we will guarantee far more investments in other countries. so this might be a strong push for, for divesting and going to other countries because then the and the state gives the guarantee that if something's happened, then we will pay them out. but it is quite important, isn't it? the idea that the german government provides effectively a kind of insurance in months or working in an open market economy. we, we can't, we can't interfere in the markets and say you are not allowed to, we are not the totalitarian, authoritarian state and say you are not allowed to. what we can do is re from the market druids. and i'm convinced that this will work. so changing the roots of market, which changed the market and this is our way, but, but you still are prepared to provide this insurance. this kind of guarantees to some investments in china. why not just cancel that? why no.
