fear and panic. in the immediate sir aftermath, 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 are, 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 really hot in as humble now to some other stories making world news headlines. iran has issued the 1st known a death sentence linked to recent anti government protests. a court condemned a man for setting fire to a public building. authorities are using the law to suppress demonstrations set off by the september death of a young woman in police custody. campaigners had staged a mass rally and madrid, accusing the regional government there of neglecting the health sector. they criticized the conservative authorities, austerity policies, and its plans to move emergency services partly online. israel's president has officially asked the election when are 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, and

a still being investigated for corruption. while after this week's mid term elections in the united states, democrats have secure to 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 this. senate president joe biden received the news at a summit in cambodia and sent this message to the senate majority leader or terry worked . congratulations of some new schumer's. not a majority again. we're focusing now on, on georgia. feel good lower. and oh, i know i'm a car called off to new sanderson. i'm not surprised what i'm incredibly please.

i think it's a reflection of 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 runoff vote in georgia in december. we'll hand them an outright majority in the u. s. senate. earlier asked ark, washington correspondent assume he saw misconduct if it was a surprising victory for the democrats. this was the seat that democrats had actually expected to lose em. 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. and we were actually in nevada, accompanying canvassers for the democrats, and they were facing stiff head, 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, 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. or correspondence to me so has gone to in washington. there are u. s. president joe biden is set to hold high stakes talks with the chinese leader

. she jim peng. both leaders are in indonesia for a summit of the g. 20 group of nations. they're expected to set boundaries on issues, dividing the 2 superpowers, including trade, taiwan and human rights abuses in, in, gen, pennsylvania. well, and joe, as president joe biden and chinese supreme leader. she, jim ping had much to discuss in their 1st face to face talks as leaders, but don't expect any breakthroughs. all the united states and china are at loggerheads over an explosive range of geopolitical issues. both leaders, head into their talks and politically robust positions. she emboldened after naming himself communist party boss for an historic 3rd term and biden boosted by a strong performance in mid term elections. i know i'm coming to the story rather than neither. know she's spent more time and many other rural leer. i knew him well, he knows me. know we have very little misunderstanding. he's got to figure out what

the red lines are. what was the most important visitors? what a difference 11 years makes relations have knows dives. since the 2 men spent days traveling together through such a province as vice presidents over a decade ago, and biden spoke of welcoming a rising china. these days, the pentagon describes china's rise as the most comprehensive and serious challenge faced by us national security. u. s. is angry at china's top of support for russia's invasion of ukraine. russian president vladimir putin with a close ally of she will be notably absent from the g 20 meeting. she dug biden has raised chinese hackles by saying the u. s. will be ready to defend self rules. taiwan militarily, the u. s. has been briefing its allies on the massive economic fall. actually paging invades taiwan, which is considered part of its territory. the us china relationship has really

rapidly deteriorated and recent years due to disagreements over trade taiwan policy, human rights issues just to name a few. and so this really is an opportunity for the 2 leaders to get together in person. busy and to talk about these tough issues as well as areas for cooperation . growing nuclear tensions in the region will be high on the agenda and bali 5 and will push china to use it implements terrain in north korea. after a space of missile tests and fierce soaring, the young young is stepping up, its nuclear ambitions. and president validator. zalinski is vowing to keep pushing russian forces out of ukraine. moscow's retreat from the city of her son has left devastation and danger. residents are returning home to destroyed infrastructure bombs and booby traps. but despite the risks there is still cause for celebration. i blue and yellow on the street person of the more than 8 months on the

russian occupation the day residents dreamed of has finally arrived on those under which a guard we've been waiting for this for so long. you know, we've been without water and electricity for months, but we're happy to day unless it's incredible. valley ha. russian forces have now withdrawn from her son, the only regional capital they capture since the war began. it is a massive strategic blow to the gremlins war effort and a stunning morale group. the ukraine you're without, even as the countries celebrates president zalinski has told residence to stay vigilant, should, as in, everywhere in the liberation territory. album, disposal experts have a lot of work to do hulu. and almost 2000 explosive items have already been removed . mines trip wires, an unexploded ammunition did you want to do?

as these 1st pictures coming out of the region show, the skulls 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. it'll gazesberg in little kids us when i had my land yuletide. behind my back, it gathered the light and then lay tied up my leg, joe, the cole inlaw hit. then as a one pulled up, a grenade, didn't vishal this. they told me that he would put the grenade under better judgement. so i couldn't run away. dick dudgin with delusion, run out to get them among the survivors. there was a recognition that things simply cannot go back to the way they were both cool. 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
