brent: president zelenskyy today praised the ukrainian people in the country's armed forces. >> today is a historic day, we are returning to the south of our country, returning to kherson, as of now our defenders are on the outskirts of the city. but special units are already in the city. the people of kherson were waiting they never gave up on ukraine. brent: ukrainian president zelenskyy there, our correspondent has more on the developments in the city of kherson, >> social media is awash with images like what you just saw of impromptu celebrations. ukrainian flags, hugging the soldiers, ukrainian flags on government buildings.

it ionly special forces that are inherson itself, they have move faster than the rest of the army. there are booby-traps preventing big groups of soldiers coming in. aunt many soldiers who didn't get -- and many russian ldiers who didn't get out in time are now stuck there. brent: they are stuck there, what does that mean for the ukrainian forces coming in? are they being told to expect russian forces that will be hostile? brent: -- >>hat was the expectation g and even today, they were not celebrating the announcement they were some -- they were suspicious that it was a trap. it the russian army has not been able to organize a media surprise. we see russian soldiers

apparently throwing away their uniforms and changing into civilian clothes to hide away or freed themselves up to be taken prisoner. you can see the russian troops on the other bank of the river with artillery and range. they are capable of turning the city into ruins. brent: nick, as always, thank you. earlier i spoke to a former british army officers who is now out the department of war studies at king's college in london, i asked him where the war is headed next. >> i think rather than describe it as a turning point, ts is another milestone. we have the turning point in kyiv in april, we had the moment in kharkiv where the ukrainians took a large portion back from the russians. this is t first insnce of a large gain for the ukrainians,

and it very much is again. -- is a gain. brent: why is kherson strategically important? >> it was the only regional capital that was under control of the russians. your viewers may remember that it was one of the four regions that was annexed by. -- by putin. it was taken in the first f days of the war, and it was -- it splits crimea into. it was the only foothold that the russians had on that side of the river and nothey have abandoned that foothold. brent: for those not following closy, it appears that russia lost control of kherson very

quickly is not the case? are you surprised by e speed of event brent: -- >> in one sense this has been a long time coming, ukrainians announcedn august that they would be starting operations on kherson in september, and now they have taken control of it. what has happened over the last few days, since the russians announced pullout, they have had to conduct a retreat under fire. that's probably the most -- in a technical stance -- sense, the most technical move they need to conduct. itasn't gone very well. brent: what is the strategy for the russian military moving forward, they pulled bk, what options do they have n?

>> i think what they are trying to do is set the front line for winter. they pulled back, they have built moref isn't -- defensive lines area and in otr parts of the country, they have dug defenses in antitank ditches. i think the russians are trying to prepare for winter, hoping they can rroup, retrain, and bring mobilized soldiers into play. brent: about four weeks ago we heard russian president putin say, that kherson would be part of russia forever. he was not the one making the announcement that russian troops were being removed from kherson. i wonder what this means for the morale of russian troops. >> i think the morale of russian troops has been pretty poor throughout the war. particularly the soldiers that

were given no training, that has always been very poor. this is classic staff. when there is successes, president putin announces it and when there are failures, he gets others to announce it. he likes to play the blame game and say that they ordered the retreat. it is not holding together very well for russians. brent: as always, we appreciate your time, we thank you. >> thank you. brent: here are stories making headlines around the world. a gasoline tank explosion in nigeria has killed 12 people. it was traveling on a major road the brakes failed, it crusd a number of cars before exploding. french cars -- french authorities are wrapping up checks at -- the border.

now. he gave delegates this assurance. pres. biden: today, eggs to the actions that we have taken -- thanks to the actions that we have taken, i can say with confidence that the united states of america will meet our emissions target by 2030. [applause] pres. biden: we are racing forward it to avoid the climate help that we were -- the climate hell we were warned about earlier this week. it is true, climate crisis is hitting hardest those countries and communities that have the fewest resources to respond and recover. brent: my colleague, says the u.s. midterm elections are now behind joe biden, and that fact

has put some wind in his sales and we saw that at the summit. >> he certainly appeared confident, did not t. he arrived -- didn't t. he arrived laced with confidence. president biden has made tackling climate change a central pillar of his goals. he drove that home, he touted the inflation reduction act, that just narrowly passed congress this year and it puts 370 billion dollars in two moving the u.s. from weisel fuels -- fossil fuels. he said that line it that you delivered -- that line that you delivered in your intro, that good climate policy is good international policy. president biden will likely have to deal with just one -- at

least one chamber in republican hands. we may see more from his office by presidential action remember that executive action can be struck down by the court, it is a risky move. he was a validated at the polls, young people made clear that they the climate policy as a priority but it is unclear what he will be able to push through congress with such slim margins. >> he spoke about kimi -- developing countries dealing with climate change, what is the united states offering these developing countries given that the u.s. is one of the biggest polluters in the world. >> he said that wealthy countries should support developing countries so that

they can support their energy transitions and build a path to prosperity that is compatible with our climate imperative. that was the message he was trying to deliver. but as you said, the u.s. is one of the against -- biggest emitte rs. we have heard from developing countries suffering from the brunt of climate change and they believe that wealthy western countries need to do more. 2/-- two -- to slash emissions, he didn't give specifics as to how america will help the developing world. brent: as always, thank you. activists have long blamed industrialized nation for

causing the most pollution. ugandan campaigner, told her that -- told us that richer countries are still not doing enough. >> president biden was not so ea how the united states- will be supporting developing and orer nations. i believe that our nations, are still depending on tnsition assistance to help suprt them and in mitigation. but these talks are ending with promises. we don'tnow when action will be taken because people are actually dying, disasters are happening, and africa is periencingome of the worst of the climate crisi

my community or communiti like mine have not been lped in adaptation. we would likto help -- we would like to be helped touild back better, to help us transition to a sustainable and clean environment. but we see that u.said is in' -- is investing it largest percentage in africa, and we only see about 682 u.s. dollars -- 682 million u.s. dollars invested in clean energy. brent: what do you wish that president biden had said today? i think a lot of people understand the points that you are making, what was msing from his address today, in your opinion? >> i think that esident biden's speech todayas

different, it seemed quite concrete. but it was unclear, the strategy to provide climate finance for poorer nations. we did not hear that. did hear him talk about -- ilding back better, that us is making commitments by 2030. but 2030 maye too fafor us because people are already dying now. we expected drastic action taken on this speech. we were hoping to hear of a facility being set up but we did not hear this. brent: we appreciate u taking

time to share thoughts wh us tonight, thank you. >> thank you for having me. brent: as world leaders meet, egypt's record of human rights is coming under scrutiny. the case of the pro-democracy campaign is of particular concern. he is in prison for reportedly spreading fake news. protesters are campaigning for his release, but authorities a making it difficult for activists to hold demonstrations. >> this is what egypt wants the world to see, a country playing perfect host to global leaders at the u.n. climate summit. but on the ground, activists say that they are not welcome here. >> it is completely different. the last climate conference was in glasgow, every day there were street protests near the

conference center. this year, you have to apply for permission to protest 36 hours in advance. it is only open from 10:00 until 5:00, and it is under heavy surveillance. >> some say they are being closely monitored. >> many activists, all of our information was being taken. how will we start something, if they already know who we are and where we stay. >> the spotlight has also been shown on human rights abuses, particularly in egypt where there are many political prisoners. among them, this man seen here in 2013. he has been on hunger strike since april. his sister has been at the summit fighting for his freedom.

>> could we please asked the gentleman to leave? >> despite an attempt by some, including an egyptian lawmaker to stop her. egypt had hoped climate would be the main focus. [chanting: free them all] >> instead its human rights record is overshadowing the summit. brent: germany will be holding a regular season -- game. it will be the first of several nfl games in germany in the next few years. >> known as the other football in germany, the nfl has scored a touchdown in the city of munich,

larger-than-life american football helmets have filled the street, proof that the nfl season germany as its number one market for growth. >> we s tremendous interest in the ga. we saw great devopment for nfl and american football in germany over the last couple of years. >> munich along with frankfurt will host two games each over the next few years. the variant capital making history on sunday playing -- the rho variant capital making history on sunday hosting -- the upper variant capital making history. >> i look for to it, our guys are out here looking -- having fun, everyone is just enjoying the community. >> the nfl hopes to catch the attention of the german market. >> i think germany has a chance

to show the rest of the world how they received the nfl and how they want to be part of their sporting experience. >> among the international nfl game scheduled the season, three have been played in london already, and now germany. the nfl's next stop, is mexico. completing the leagues overseas tour in 2022. brent: in senegal, despite injury concerns. he was hurt in the recent victory and the 30-year-old will miss the club smash this weekend, while they hope the senegal wins the africa cup this year. he will have health checks to monitor his recovery. let's have a look at the other headlines from the qatar world cup, elsewhere in sports, the

including a school teacher, who were on board. nasa is deciding whether or not to recover the wreckage. >> they have found something they were not looking for. divers from a documentary crew discovered debris from the u.s. space shuttle challenger. in one of the biggest accidents in space history, the shuttle exploded in a ball of flame shortly after lifting up killing all seven crewmembers. earlier this year, divers were exploring the seafloor off the coast of florida, hoping to find a world war ii plane for documenting. the plane had this appeared in the bermuda triangle. during their source -- during their search, they stumbled on

the challenger wreckage. they submitted to nasa, and their suspicion was right on the mark. though nasa officials were not happy. >> the discovery of this piece was mixed emotions. first we were reflected back on 1986 and the loss of our friends, colleagues and heroes, and it is also a sense of discovery to find something that was lost for so long is once again found. >> it is the first time in 25 years that theachshund that a piece of the challenger has been located, and is one of the biggest found so far. >> in reviewing the footage that the team provided, we can see a section roughly 15 by 15 feet, though we do know that the item does extend deeper into the sand, the true size is hard to determine at this point. i am rather confident that it is one of the largest pieces ever found on challenger. -- of the pallet -- of the

challenger. >> the look ocean -- the location attract many fish so they believe there could be wreckage there. nasa has not decided how to recover the wreckage or how to use the item to memorialize the crewmembers and families. brent: stick around. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ >> it is 10:00 in the french capital. here are the stories. jubilation in southern ukraine as russian soldiers retreat and kyiv takes back control. one of ukraine's most significant victories since the russian invasion began. election uncertainty in the u.s. where votes are still being counted following tuesday's midterm elections. mcgrath holding on hope they can maintain control of the senate while republicans look to control the house. . >> turmoil at twitter where top

security executives are the latest to resign. the company's new owner elon musk has made radical changes that have not gone over well. ryan quinn will join us with that story. ♪ >> thanks for joining us. ukrainian flags flying over the city of kherson following a major retreat by russian soldiers. celebration in the streets. from all appearances, the city is back under kyiv's control. it is seen as a political and symbolic blow to vladimir putin who had just one month ago declared the region part of russia. luke, we have seen the footage of jubilation in the streets.

how did the day unfold? >> there were initial reports in the small hours of the morning of a lar explosion around a bridge. several spans had been destroyed and it was later revealed russia's defense ministry said it had completed its withdrawal from kherson city without losing any troops or equipment, pulling back what it said was 5000 pieces of equipment and 30,000 troops to the eastern bank of the dnieper river. we have seen ukrainian forces move-in. it took quite some time for ukraine to confirm that forces were in the city, but we saw them welcomed with open arms. residents coming out from months of occupation, welcoming them jubilantly. we have seen the ripping down of

huge posters saying in russian, "we will be here forever." it has transpired that they had been there for several months. we have seen previous withdrawals such is kharkiv later in the summer where there was a massive collapse of russian lines with the chaotic withdrawal. there is still an element of chaos. russia saying it had not lost troops, but we have seen reports that russian soldiers have been abandoning both their uniforms and weapons and indeed being told they had to find their way back anyway they could to territories still under russian control. ukrainian authorities have been calling on russians that have been left behind to surrender and not hold out. they have said their security will be guaranteed with the potential for prisoner swaps for

ukrainian prisoners in russian captivity later down the line. it shows the situation was untenable for russia. ukraine had been keeping a pressure on supply lines using long-range artillery. it meant that russia was simply unable to hold the city. they decided to pull back to better defended dniprdnipro positions on the river -- on the dnipro river. it is thought likely that ukraine will be trying to movie -- will be trying to move forward, although it will be stymied for some time in terms of needing to repair damage that haveeen done, to clear landmines and restore service. >> luke trigger reporting for us. thank you so much. france and italy trading barbs over who is responsible for the fate of migrants from a rescue ship. the ocean viking doctor friday after spending weeks trying to

come ashore in italy. it marks the first time france has allowed a vessel carrying migrants from the mediterranean to land on its coast. >> after three be set see, the ocean viking ppares to dock in the south of france. on board, people picked up from libyan waters. under law, italy being closest to the point of rescue, is required to allow the migrants to access their country. amid his refusal and with sanitary conditions worsening, france granted the ocean viking access to its mediterranean port. >> italy has been inhumane in handling this. authorities were not professional. they left the boat there for 20 days without decisions. >> italy's new far-right prime minister complained about the number of migrants reaching its

shores, demanding fellow eu countries take responsibility. >> i have been very much struck by the french government's aggressive reaction, which in my point of view is incomprehensible and unjustified. almost 90,000 people have entered italy since the start of the year. on the same day of our discussions about the ocean viking, 600 people arrived in small boats. butter 232 people, they have made diplomatic relations blow up. >> they will be located two different countries across such as germany and luxembourg. >> nine countries have agreed to take them in. -- staying in france. we will organize return to their home countries. >> 57 miners were aboard the ocean viking. 44 of which were unaccompanied

by their parents. >> the very life of the planet is at stake. that was the message from president biden, speaking at the cap 27 climate crisis -- conference. biden held his own action, poor push -- poor countries are pushing for others to help. the u.s. is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases behind china. president biden said the country is on track to reduce its carbon foot, urging other world leaders to double down on climate goals. pres. biden: our department of energy estimates the new law will reduce emissions in the united states by about one billion tons in 2030. while unleashing a new era of economic power and growth. our investments in technology from electric batteries to hydrogen will spark a cycle of innovation that will reduce the cost and improve the performance of clean energy technology that

will be available to nations worldwide, not just the united states. >> in the u.s., the counting of votes is still underway following tuesday's elections. democrats holding onto hope they can maintain control of the senate. republicans look to control the house. one of the senate races in georgia is headed to a runoff. it could be i while to know the outcome. for more, we are joined by lawrence rosenthal. executive director of the berkeley center for right wing studies. as weaid, we do not have final results, but this is a blow to the republicans and donald trump , given many of the candidates he backed did not win. is trump still the defective leader of the republican party? will that continue into 2024? >> he h a serious challenge.

in terms of his control of the party. the fact that his candidates did so poorly in the election has ceded the leadership, on the surface it seems, to others. in particular, ron desantis. however, trump has a base which is perhaps 30% of the party, which is devoted to him personally so that moving him from the leadership of the party is going to be difficult. especially since how candidates are determined in the u.s. is through the system of primary voting in which the party puts up several candidates. the trump base is particularly

active in primary elections. the chances of his candidates prevailing is still very high. >> trump raised doubts about the legitimacy of the midterm results in some states without offering proof. in general, how prevalent has election denial is him becoming the republican party? >> it is a good question. to some extent, the people who lost badly on tuesday were extreme election deniers. on the other hand, almost 200 representatives, republican representatives in the house of representatives in the congress have cast doubt on the 2020 election results.

so, there is this tension between extreme election deniers and those who have gone along with it. in many cases, for fear of reprisal from donald trump and his winof the party. >> ron desantis just scored a huge reelection victory. beating his opponent by 20 points. many are saying he could be the republican presidential candidate in 2024. is that a possibility? >> of course, but it is a long way from now until then. but what he has done is to essentially present himself as the figure of trumpism without trump.

when trump could -- when trump took control of e party, he changed its course dramatically. nato, the republican party was for 40 years firmly pportive of nato. donald trump began speaking ill of it, backing off commitments to nato. that is the example of the kind of very large ideological change that trump brought into the party. since that time, that point of view has been developed. there are intellectuals who are putting together what is now being called national conservatism. if you want to understand what

that stands for, the close tastes -- closest example is hungary. the republican party has moved toward following trump ideologically. a liberalism -- of victor or ban and folks like that. ron desantis is one of the leading exponents of that. ron desantis has turned florida into something like hungary. >> if the gop goes from being the party of trump to the party of desantis, how would that change things? would election denial is him still be part of the playbook? >> what would happen is that the issues of how elections get

determined, what part of state government has control over elections, that would tend to move more into political hands. into the hands of state legislatures, which are controlled by republicans. so that you would move from election denial as a myth, the rallying cry, -- take institutionalizing the chances that the republican party would prevail in elections no matter what. >> thank you, lawrence rosenthal. executive director of the berkeley center for right wing studies.

thank you for being with us and for all of your insight. >> thank you. >> time now for a look at the top business news with brian quinn. many are calling a potential lehman brothers moment for the cryptocurrency world as ftx collapses. >> prior to this week, ftx was one of the biggest players in the crypto sector. its ceo seen as a millennial j.p. morgan as he built digital currency operations. that has collapsed in just days. resigning as ceo and declaring bankruptcy. the company and the founder under investigation by the department of justice and the

securities and exchange commission, risky bets at their hedge fund. it was precipitated by the crypto equivalent of a bank run on assets, spurred in part by binance. binance had offered to take over ftx, after -- until backing out of the deal. analysts are predicting cascading effect across the entire crypto sector. >> peopleoth in the business world and the policy world who looked to crypto with some sor of skepticism, and retail investors who were not sure whether they would put their money into crypto, some of their suspicions have been validated. that is an unfortunate mark on the industry. >> twitter mired in chaos two weeks after been -- being taken over by elon musk. muska warned of a potential for the firm to go bankrupt.

today brought another exodus of key executives including top compliance officers. regulators say they are watching the company with deep concern. >> the times remain challenging and uncertain at twitter. two weeks after buying the social media giant for $44 billion, elon musk has lost his chief information security officer. several high-profile security personnel reportedly quit the company. concerns over macron's strategy -- musk's strategy to keep the platform afloat has reached a u.s. regulator that has warned him that he is not above the law. as the tech world grapples with the impact of inflation, the world's richest man has said bankruptcy may be on the way. he has already fired half of twitter's employees since taking over.

>> there are an unprecedented number of challenges within the digital ad industry right now. these companies have to find a way to cut costs. on the employees were let go as well as the employees who remain and there is the addedhallenge of keeping the employees who remain at these companies motivated to help them grow their businesses. >> online platforms having to find new sources of revenue as advertisers cut costs. many advertisers fled twitter after the takeover. the company now reportedly losing over $4 million a day. >> checking in on today's trading action. european continental indexes gained amid thursday's massive equities rally. those gains driven by a lower than expected inflation data in the u.s. leading to hopes for a slowing of interest rate hikes by the federal reserve.

london's ftse 100 down as the u.k. races for recession. on wall street, ursday's lurch -- search slowing. s&p gaining 5% yesterday. as tech popped 7.4%. finishing nearly 2% friday. in paris, the made in france expo opened its doors, helped out helping small french businesses gained international attention. 100,000 visitors are expected. france's economy minister kicked off the expo, promising more help for companies who vowed to keep their factories in france. >> of the sands i visited, you could clearly see what is the biggest concern for small and medium sized french businesses and manufacturers. it is their electricity and gas bills.

a fake george bush saying he misses killing iraqis. fake donald trump promising full endorsement to joe biden. a utah house of representatives, in much more road target. all of these parities have been verified by the new blue check mark. >> this looks like mass confusion. how can you know if an account is real? >> the short answer is that it is much harder to know. the old one showed that an account of a high-profile person were brand was verified and that they were whose -- were who they said they were. elon musk has saidhey will disappear unless their owners start paying. at the moment, you can see two types of tick which look identical until you click on them and see that some are subscribed to the new blue. the problem is that there is no identity verification.

elon musk has said parody accounts must be labeled as such , otherwise they will be removed. any fake accounts have since been removed. but some like this account of jesus is still live. he calls himself a carpenter, healer, god, but nowhere is the word parody. perhaps more damaging for twitter is the brands that have been targeted. obviously bad news as they rely on advertising. here we have nintendo giving the finger. lockheed martin. we even have a fake tesla account, which was up eight hours before it was taken down and was tweeting for eight hours. all of these embarrassing things with a blue tick decks to their name, which makes it real. including this video.

it is basically like a tesla card crashing into a child dummy as part of a test. but it is not sometng elon mu and tesla want to draw attention to. this is all coming at a time when the owner himself has admitted that twitter could go bankrupt. so many senior executives have quit. how can you tell these are fake? obviously you can use common sense, but some are really well disguised. the other thing you can do is click into one of these profiles you are looking at and look for clues such as, fake apple tv plus. the real one has more followers. that is how we can tell. this is a big problem for misinformation because some people do not click on the

profile, they just see the tweet and take it at face value. elon musk supporters have said these are teething problems and that twitter has made moves to try to stop fake accounts from proliferating, saying that anyone who has created a profile after november 9 is unable to subscribe to twitter blue. that is likely to change because elon musk wants as many people as possible to subscribe. in the meantime, now more than ever, don't believe everything you see. >> that is a huge understatement. stay tuned for more world news coming up on france 24. ♪ >> special events. join us for in-depth coverage of the greatest sporting competition. around the world, fans can barely contain their excitement.
