democrats retain control of the u. s. senate in mid term elections. catherine at court has musto beat. her trump endorsed rival in nevada to give the democrats a majority in the upper house of congress. ah. hello, i'm clear. richardson in berlin, thanks much for joining us. a bomb blast in the heart of a stumble has killed at least 6 people, and wounded more than 80 others turkish president wretch, a tie up. or no one has condemned it as a terrorist attack, and vowed to punish the bombers. the explosion ripped through a crowded pedestrian street near toxins. square footage on social media shows the moment an explosion transformed an afternoon on its tentacles bustling shopping. mile into a nightmare. panic and confusion descended on tourists and shoppers. out for

a stroll on istic lull avenue ambulances rushed to the scene to treat the wounded. and police cordoned off the street warning onlookers to stay clear in case of a 2nd explosion. system we were a bit far away, was us. but we saw a few people lying on the ground. it was a huge blast noise. and afterwards there was dark smoke rising up, so and then people began running away. i warned people not to panic, but since there were children and families present, the investigators have yet to determine the cause of the blast. but president rich uptight air to one said it was likely an attack kitchen. will it a wu could or do it? would be wrong to say this is undoubtedly a terrorist attack, but the initial developments and initial intelligence for my governor riding me is that it smells like terrorism. need you. what are the terror quote?

sure. it's not the 1st time you stick. wile avenue has seen bloodshed in recent years. a suicide bombing in 2016 killed 4 people and wounded dozens more. the turkish government said the perpetrator had links to the so called islamic state. turkeys broadcasting authority says it restricted news coverage of the explosion in order to avoid sewing panic. access to social media networks is also reportedly limited across the country. for more, let's get straight across to our corresponding in istanbul. johan julia, turkeys, president, ardon has said this smells like terror. what do you think makes him say that or turkish authorities now officially treating this as an act of terrorism that was confirmed by vice president for october visited the scene of the blast because

president ad on himself is now on his way to the g. 20 summit in indonesia, the vice president also said that a woman was lightly involved in the attack, but he did not provide further detail so far. no one has claimed this blast. this attack and touch authorities have not blamed any particular perpetrators or groups . but what we do know for sure this blast has really hit the heart of the city. the is to it's decline avenue, as you mentioned, is a very popular spot. even on a sunday, shops and restaurants are open. so at the moment of the exploit explosion, they were likely thousands, if not tens of thousands of people in the area. there must be a tough night for a stumble. how have people there been reacting? what was fear and panic in the immediate so off to moth?

security forces of try to evacuate parts of the city center and then we saw huge traffic gems. we saw huge crowds of people somehow trying to get out of the area. and then of course, many of try to reach out to their family and friends to their loved ones, to see whether they were okay because an alleged terrorist attack in the center of istanbul, it brings back really painful memories for people here in the city. but all over turkey of a series, all the tax and bombings in the years 2015 to 2017, which killed hundreds of people nationwide. some of the attacks were blind blamed by the 14th on the so called islamic state group. others were blamed on a kurdish militants, but for eastern bull it, i can say this has really changed the city and it has shaken people, sense of security. thank you so much for that update. that's our corresponded johan

. and as tumble let's go to the united states now and i for this week's midterm elections. democrats have secured a surprise victory in the senate. catherine cortez masters reelection in nevada, allows the democrats to keep control of the upper chamber of congress, giving the party fresh momentum victory that defied expectations and history. catherine cortez masters. when in nevada gives the democrats the 50 seats they needed to keep control of the senate. president joe biden received the news at a summit in cambodia and sent this message to the senate majority leader or to a work congratulations of some new schumer who's got a majority again. we're focusing now on, on ga. feel good, lower. and oh, i know i'm a cockeyed afternoon. i understand you. i'm not surprised,

but i'm incredibly clear. i think it's a reflection quality we're can raise a bitter defeat for adam like salt the republican candidate in the swing state of nevada. he was endorsed by former u. s. president donald trump, 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. early i spoke to our washington correspondence whom he saw misconduct, and i asked her if it was a surprising victory for the democrats. well, it is surprising, clear in a few ways, no nevada in particular,

because this was the seat that democrats had actually expected to lose. captain cortez massa was considered the most embattled democrat in the senate in the country. it was a real battle for her to finish there and to hold on to her seat at we were actually in nevada, accompanying canvassers for the democrats, and they were facing stiff, had wet winds on inflation. in particular, i saw them talked a working class voters who said their number one issue, hands down was inflation. but across the country and also in nevada. of course of the democrats painted their republican opponents as extremists. and there was a fear of voting for republicans among many moderate voters. and that might have been one of the factors that help the democrats pull it out. and claire, i think it's also surprising because just a month ago we were talking about the republicans having the opportunity to win both the house of representatives and the senate senate and make life very difficult for president biden. and his agenda. now we're seeing the democrats, as we heard in that piece, a retaining the senate, and the house of representatives is still not certain. so not the result that we

had been predicting, let's say a month ago, not that red wave that was predicted. i don't know many republican candidates who lost their races had also been endorsed by former president donald trump says this now then look like a failing strategy for republicans. that's what many observers here and republican pundits even are saying said the biggest names who he supported and endorsed these elections last and that has right wing media and even members of the republican party asking be it cautiously in most cases, whether donald trump is still good for the party, there were around 300 election deniers running in these elections across the u. s. so these are people who endorse the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. that is a movement that was started by and fueled on by the former president donald trump. it's been reported here by the new york times that every election deny or who sought to become at the top election, official of a battle ground state last. so that certainly says a lot about president trump's influence there. but remember,

he is still widely popular among this hardened corps in the republican party and they still have a lot of influence on the right wing of this country. so we can't write off the former president and his influence just yeah, assuming you touched on this, but i want to dig in a little bit deeper on the senate remains in the hands of democrats. republicans looking more likely to take the house. of course, we haven't heard the decision there yet, but where would that leave the bite and administration? so leave him with a divided government. so it's certainly easier for president fighting to have the senate in the hands of the democrats. he can win confirmation of judges, for example. it'll also help him raise the debt ceiling and avoid government shut down. that something that could cause a lot of volatility here in the u. s. and across the world. but the republicans in the house said that if they have controlled, they won't find on spending bills, tackling climate change. and the man who became the who could become rather the speaker of the house, said that americans will not be able to write blank checks to ukraine any more. so

the tenor of the overwhelmingly bipartisan support for ukraine could change a bit and it will just in general, be a lot harder for the president of pushed through some of his more ambitious policy goals. so that is something that he could likely be facing in the next few years. okay, thank you very much for that update. had state of the correspondence in the someone scanned in washington dc let's bring you up to speed now. it's mother world news headlines. ukraine's president's has russian forces destroyed all critical infrastructure in harrison 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 harrison officials warren. the war is not over. israel's president has officially asked the election winter benjamin netanyahu to form a government. the veteran, former prime minister, wants to join forces with the right wing and religious allies. netanyahu was ousted from power less than 2 years ago. he is still being investigated for corruption.
