very clear, mike martin from the department of war, started at kings college, london. and keep that's the united states where democrats did much better than expected in tuesday's mid term elections. it's still unclear who will control congress as a few key contests are still undecided. the president biden praised his party strong, showing, saying that forecast of a wipe out by the republicans had failed to materialize. well, we had an election yesterday and it was a good day, i think for democracy. and i think it was a good day for america. shoot me a little hoarse. our democracy has been tested in recent years, but with their vote. so the american people have spoken and proved once again that democracy is who we are. while the press in the pundents are predicting a giant red wave, it didn't happen. and i know you were somewhat miffed by my my obsession optimism. but i felt good during the whole process. i thought were going to do fine while any seat last is painful. some good democrats didn't. when the last night, democrats had a strong name, get more for washing the

mike martin, they're from the war service department, kings college london. thank you very much, mike. thank you. ah, at the football woke up on tuesday evening. iran battle with united states for the right to move on to the round of 16. the iranian side has faced government pressure after showing support for pro women protest as back home. still there hopes of advancing felt short against the us, with reports about the iranian government putting immense pressure on the team. the players were singing the national anthem without a great deal of enthusiasm and accompanied by booze and whistling from fans to game, picked off at the u. s. were in control after a half hour. it was timothy wire with the 1st big chance, but his header like power and precision. 10 minutes later it was western mckinney's perfect cross into the run of surgeon odessa, who squared it to kristin pool as ej chelsea's attacker puts the u. s. one mill ahead. however, while the fans were going wild pool, as it was in a lot of pain, after crashing into the iranian goalkeeper, he was pulled out

mike martin is war study senior visiting fellow at kings college london. i asked him if attacking civilian infrastructure was a clever strategy for making territorial games. it's not actually it. russia is largely fighting a defensive war at the moment. they are very keen to shore up deposition over the winter. i think they're aware that ukraine will be continuing to push forward and attack over the winter. and so what they're doing by targeting civilian infrastructure, which is by the way, a war crime is it basically means that the training government have to focus on delivering power to civilians. rather than spending that energy to paring suits and motion positions. how can support as a broad allies of ukraine to we've been sending weapons, try to support or help the millions of ukrainians without power right now. it's very difficult if not impossible, which is why, probably why the russians are doing it. what's happening is that the infrastructure of the power grid substations transmitters transmission lines, as well as some power generation, are being

might martin from king's college london. thanks so much. thank you. to the got 27 planet talks in egypt now and elation over a landmark compensation deal has been tempered by disappointment, over progress on cutting emissions and fossil fuels. so let's take a look at what the summer did and didn't achieve. now there was no agreement on phasing out fossil fuels any time soon, but delegates did however, reaffirm a commitment to the goal of keeping global warming to $1.00 degrees celsius above pre industrial levels. and there was a loss and damage deal that will compensate vulnerable nations suffering from climate change. it's a historic deal thrashed out by exhausted delegates after weeks of negotiations that the climate talks in egypt to day hearing, sir michelle, we established the 1st ever dedicated form for loss or damage a form that has been so long in the making the fund would pay poor nations on the front lines of climate change, dealing with destruction and death from extreme weather. developing countries have contributed the least to heat trapp

oh, but you have to look to marina. myron is from the defense studies department at king's college, london with ukrainian troops. now in control of hassan, i asked her if you crania troops still have to worry about being attacked for it here. so remains the city to be worried about because the russian forces have placed themselves on the eastern bank of the river so they will be shelling her song. it is to be expected. however, it will not be the main focus for russia. and the reason behind the pool out a had a lot of lead troops tripped in her son on the right river back and they needed to relocate them. so we are to expect the ship shift, the focus in the military operation from the russian side. now they're moving their lead forces to nest and are most likely to go and try to reinforce their positions along that it will. however, we have to remember is that their forces are on the eastern river bank and they need less was this to be able to hold their defendant position there. right. so just just looking, i'm how do you see the ver moscow playing this? now, because we've, we've seen a s

i'm sure mike martin with the department of more studies at kings college london. mike, as always, thank you. thank you very much. so in the united states, mid term election results are pointing to a surprisingly strong, showing for president biden's democrats. they're doing better than posted, predicted, with early indication suggesting that they've managed to fend off sweeping republican gains. but there are still many races to call in the battle for both houses of congress. course the results will set the country's course for the next 2 years. at the moment. republicans have the lead in the race for the house of representatives. us voters have been choosing lawmakers for the entire half so far a $176.00 out of the $435.00 seats have gone to the democrats. as you see there, 204 have gone to republicans. have a closer look now at the u. s. senate, starting with the seats that are not up for grabs in the selection. there are 100 total. if you add in those newly decided seats, you can see that the republic them slightly ahead with 49 seats. the democrats with 48 sea

mike martin from the department of war studies at kings college london. thank you. and we can get more for correspondent nick connelly in cave. welcome, nick. so we have this russian national tv announcement while we ukrainian the president urges caution. what's your take? ms. stephanie, very strange. as you mentioned, there this announcement on tv, especially if you compare it to russia's other withdrawals earlier in the year, where often enough it was denied until basically was too obvious for every one. and then it was branded a good, well, good will gesture or tactical retreat to find better, more easily defendable lines. and so this is definitely a break in strategy also to talk about wanting to save russian solves lives wanting to kind of protect their own resources in their own manpower. that is also not something that really gels with what rush has been doing elsewhere, where we've seen, especially freshly mobilized people being basically thrown at the front lines with very little preparation equipment. and a huge loss is there. so this'll literally stack up

i'm sure mike martin with the department of course, studies at kings college london. mike, as always, thank you. thank you very much. so in the united states, midterm election results are pointing to a surprisingly strong, showing for president biden's. democrats. are doing better than polls predicted, with early indications, suggesting that they're managing to fend off sweeping republican gains in congress . but there are still many races to call in the battle for both houses of congress, which will of course, set the country's course for the next 2 years. the 2nd closure look now at the latest numbers at the moment. republicans have the lead in the race for the house of representatives, us voters, they've been choosing lawmakers for the entire house so far. a 176 out of the 435 seats have gone to the democrats, 203, have gone to republicans say closer look. now at the u. s. senate, we know there's a 100 total seats there, starting with the seats that are not up for grabs in this election. if you add in those newly decided seats, you can see the republicans slightly

to dominate helen sanker mo, so she is an expert in russian foreign and security policy at kings college london . good to see donna taylor. and can i ask you if you're planning a major retreat, why broadcast it to the world are, you know, why will this theater is this a russian trap that we're saying? i think that the main objective is full of the domestic ordinances. it's to explain to the russian population and the russian people, why these repeat is happening. i'm to show in some way that this is not some kind of hasty. and we treat a major defeat is just something done, you know, in some kind of they kind of presented as a strategic retreat, giving the whole to family that population that put potentially they could one day come back. so they're kind of saving the army so that the eventually they can re take land in the future. so it is really, i think more, more than anything an attempt to explain to the domestic audiences which have been very disappointed with the way in which not only the armed forces were operating, but we thought of things mobilization which has so i had an impact on ma

to talk about all this, we have harsh pond, professor of international relations with kings college london. thanks so much for joining the program professor. can you parse what's happening here because we see we've seen india abstaining at the u. n, but we've also seen modi's recent tough comments to putin. it's quite a line to walk. ah, yes indeed. i think india has been now walking a very, very delicate balance between its various partnerships, radius commitments and various kinds of interests that are becoming salient to its foreign policy from defense, to energy, to do politics. and, and i think there is a growing discomfort in india that the war of the conflict in ukraine has jagged on that there's no sight of resolution yet. and it is having an impact, you know, globally in economic terms. and it is also suddenly having an impact on india's domestic political economy. so, so i think and yet is now more vocal about the need to bring it to it in a, talking directly to mr. fulton as, as you mentioned. but also on the other hand, trying to make the most of the energy security as well as

will talk to my very distinguished guest this is sir lowrance freedman emeritus professor at king's college londonn expert in military studies he is the one who will be able to answer those the questions that i prepared for him sverlourenc i congratulate you and thank you for joining me today i am very pleased and we are going to the sources so my first question will be whether it was possible to avoid the russian invasion of ukraine i do not think that the invasion was inevitable because these were decisions that needed was to accept, in particular, taking into account what this could all turn into. maybe if russia had thought about actively, they would have realized that they are facing much greater difficulties than they could have imagined . i think that the problem is that it is difficult for putin to perceive ukraine as an independent state with its own identity and a strong government and a strong society that will not fall apart even with one push is still a problem that obviously originates in 1991 and stretches from the collapse of the soviet union to the color revolution from then until

mike martin, they're from the war service department, kings college london. thank you very much, mike. thank you. now, according to russian human rights activists, 9000 russian soldiers have died since the war and ukraine began. and of these, almost 300 are said to be men who have been recently mobilized. gremlin is far from its goals of ukraine. many russians are concerned about that, including those in fourteen's, in a circle. what does that mean for the war for pollutants, political career, or correspondent, you are russia to analyze the situation in this report. confusion about the reasons for going to war. few gains on the ground and the chaos of mobilization. the war ukraine is not going well for russia. the withdrawal of troops from house on, at the beginning of november, was moscow's biggest set back since the world began. hard line, as in moscow had been grumbling, ever since. 3 of the loudest have been businessman yevgeny pre goshen. chechnya leader graham's unclear of and former president dmitri mcdade, if for goshen, when a flat m. f. curtains clo

martin, he is a former british army officer and now with the department of war studies at kings college, london. we asked him where he believed this war was now heading. this is a another milestone. so we had to pull out from, keep in april, we had the operations in khaki, whether ukrainians took a huge trade, the territory back from the russians. this is the 3rd major failure of the russian forces all major again for the ukrainians. and it's it really since may the ukrainians have been taking territory off the russian so and they will continue to do so. let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news this hour. days after the us midterm elections, the associated press has called the arizona senate race for a democrat, mar kelly, who was up for reelection, democrats and republicans. now each have $49.00 seats in the upper house of congress. control will come down to the result in nevada or georgia, which is going to have run off in december. twitter appears to have halted it's $8.00 subscription plan. after a host of accounts, impersonating companies and celebrities flood

well, mike martin is war city senior visiting fellow at kings college london. my colleague asked him how ukraine's allies can help them millions who are now without power in ukraine. it's very difficult if not impossible, which is why, probably why the russians are doing it. what's happening is the infrastructure of the power grid. so substations transmitters transmission lines as well as some power generation are being hit and damaged. and obviously the same structure takes years to build in many cases. so what the ukrainians are going to be able to do is repass parts of it. and it is possible to provide pin prick power in places like hospitals by using generators. but the vast mass of the population. $10000000.00 people prisoners, he said, afraid is going to be when to largely without power from any of them. mike martin speaking to us earlier and even as they continue attacking civilian infrastructure, russian troops have retreated from several ukrainian territories and that they had occupied for much of the year and dw mateus bull and go went to the town of

mike martin, he's a former british army officer and now with the department of war studies at kings college london. and we asked him whether, where he believed this war was now heading. this is a, another milestone. so we had to pull out from, keep in april, we had the operations in khaki whether ukrainians took a huge trade, the territory back from the russians. this is the 3rd major failure of the russian forces all major again for the ukrainians and it, it really, since may the ukrainians have been taking territory off the russians so, and they will continue to do so. you as president joe biden has arrived in cambodia to take part in a summit of other countries. biden is seeking the support of the members of the association of southeast asian states to contain china, the weekend meetings in cambodia, come ahead of next week's g. 20 summit in indonesia where biden will meet chinese premier. she's been paying for the 1st time in person since taking office. and leaders are also said to discuss the ongoing political violence in me and more for more, we can speak to w correspondent, garrett martyrs,

so from king's college london. if that means the city is now safe from russian attack, i think we can assume that i think we're going to assume that russia is not going to want to. so, and i think all the destruction was already carried out there. they do a lot of the infrastructure in the communications, the water system. so i think now they're focusing where ever you focusing now or in the areas around the world around with the pressure? sure. i think that the lead thinking and trying to actually change i think you're moving to another direction as far as the rushing move. now, listening to a president landscape speaking this morning, he said that he was ready for peace bought. i'll be really any closer to piece now . i don't think we are reading. i think it's interesting for me today the russian foreign a school excusing alexander coffee. i know that there wouldn't be any surrender of terry 3 and then the negotiations. ukraine had to consider that we only get on the ground. so these are not really the basis for

all right, so maria, me hall the from the center of notary ethics at kings college in london. thank you so very much for your assessments. thank you. oh, on to the world cup in cats. ha. and argentina redeemed themselves after they are shocked. last to saudi arabia, by beating mexico to nil after a while, 1st half argentina, superstar leona nessie burst into life and put them a head with a precisely targeted strike. and a wonderful goal from answer fernandez, rounded off the wind, which leaves them 2nd and group, see a point behind poland. i did up the reporters were at the stadium in doha, after that match. they sent us some reactions from argentina, france. well, to suffer our being because i am the mother of murphy up here again, a joy. these match was amazing. was the best match ever. i. my husband is mexican in my really don't know. and i need to make the guy know, though i don't know. i'd be healing me already. i think we get the board. this is the person who i just really just sort of so i, i'm sorry, i just do mercy. i love you. a saudi arabia kicked off their world cu

targeting power and water supplies. marina miran is with the center for military ethics at kings college london. we spoke to her earlier about the impact that russian attacks on ukraine's critical infrastructure chapter. of course, obviously the oath there are 2 strands to this impact that russia is seeking to generate was also attack from critical infrastructure. on the one hand, that creates political pressure on the land ski because people are left in winter in cold without power, without water. there is no heating and so there might be an internal pressure upon the government, despite the fact that a elena zalinski said that people are ready to wait for 2 or 3 years without electricity that they will not give in. however, as the situation is getting worse, and the 2nd, perhaps the most important component is a military component because in winter, as a troops will have to be supplied. and now in order to provide heating for the population, grain will have to rely on power generators, which use fuel and as their main components. so that will create shortages of fuel, also slow down food supp

all right, and maria, me hall the from the center of military ethics at kings college in london. thank you so very much for your assessments. thank you. ah, to the welcome now and on his action. so costa rica be to japan one nill in group e. japan. were unable to build on their shock when over germany, as costa rica is keisha fuller broke the deadlock late in the 81st minutes. it was his country's 1st shot on target at the tournament in katara the result, megs, ruby, very interesting. but it still crunch time for germany when they faced spain, and group e later today was about to r d. w. sports corresponded jonathan harding, who is in doha, and asked him what a loss would mean for the germany team. it will be a disaster and maybe have an end even more obvious or clear terms. if germany due to spain, they will have the same number of points as hosts cut off to 2 games which is 0. i mean, that is a terrible situation for germany to find themselves in, but it's also a logical result really of the way that this tournament has gone for germany. that training camp in oman was pretty ru

british army officer and a senior visiting research fellow at the department of war studies at kings college, london. i asked him whether this announcement could be a trap set by russia. it might be perceived as a chat, but there is some simple facts. this was a region that russia annexed about 6 weeks ago. and supposedly this is part of russia. and now we're seeing the commander of russian forces announcing withdrawal . so i'm sure that will be our list. listen in you as president biden speaking. well, we had an election yesterday and it was a good day, i think for democracy. and i think it was a good day for america, a little hoarse. our democracy has been tested in recent years, but with their vote. so the american people spoken improve once again that democracy is who we are, the states across the country, i saw a record voter turnout and the heart and soul of our democracy. the voters, poll workers, election officials, they did their job and they fulfilled their duty. and apparently without much interference at all. so it looks like, and that's a testament, i think, to the american people. whil

in singapore, a visiting lecturer at king's college london and author of the book "russia up's -- pressure'sd to war with ukraine -- "russia's road to war with ukraine." this is a day that many predicted would come, spillover of russia's war into nato territory. how have you rated the response? quick some not so sure it really is a spillover of the war. that implies something quite major. if it was a ukrainian missile, then it is actually a rather minor matter. the response has been interesting. the president does not want to see escalation if at all possible. he wants russia to back off. he wants to support mr. zelenskyy in what he is doing in ukraine, but once the administration has kept its message very tightly controlled and not gotten ahead of the facts is a good thing because more than the actual matter that took place on polish territory is the symbolism it had and the heightened anxiety within various nato countries mostly along the frontier with ukraine, so it is the psychological impact which is important. >> it does seem russia has appreciated the calm response from the u.s. might

. >> we are joined by an expert from king's college, london. >> these nuclear power plant's have been. we have seen russian military forces moving quickly to secure a variety of nuclear facilities. it seems the only one they have managed to hold onto is zaporizhia. nuclear fuel in a reactor -- when you shut the reactor down, he remains hot, and generates even more heat, actually. you need to continue to remove the heat in order to prevent temperature rising to the point of beingn danger. that heat generation will continue for quite a long period of time. it might initially be very hot and very high generating. it remains for years and years. >> in germany, foreign ministers have begun a two day meeting focusing on how to support ukraine through the winter in the face of russian attacks on the power plant. more than 30% of ukraine's electricity grid had been destroyed. germany sent 100 generators to ukraine to stabilize the grid. g7 leaders pledged to supply aid to ukraine including heaters, blankets, and beds. the foreign minister says the group will not allow russia to inflict starva

don montela zigler mo, so she's an expert in russian for an insecurity policy at kings college london. earlier i asked her why ukraine is not rushing into the city of harrison, even the russian says that its forces or withdraw. well, i think of as i sat by your correspond and i mean the ukrainians are very worried that it could be a trap. i'm that you know, they could face and some kind of ambushes. i mean, what they're reporting is saying is also that there are a lot of sort of road blogs lines. so if you say, if you could advance mentoring, it's not an easy one. but i think that this announcement was made primarily for internal russian consumption primarily to prepare the russian public to that, to the food withdrawing from from the area from app, from app, from the city of credit. so, and i'm from sort of the north western bank of nearby river, so i think we need to see to have within, to sort of perspective so. so you're saying that this announcement is, is basically a p r, move for the russian military to prepare the russian public for what for, for a defeat or for yet another bl

this collaboration between artists and scientists at king's college london is an illustration of howd digital environments come together in today's society — sometimes in seemingly unconnected ways. and the sim project makes art out of the small chips that have, for some years, been central to our communications, interactions, and even our identity... ultimately, this technology is about people and our connection to each other. ..as we prepare to exist in more than one place at a time. if the hope is to be believed, we are about to enter a whole —— if the hype is to be believed, we are about to enter a whole new virtual universe. but i think it's potentially misunderstood, misadvertised and pretty unknown right now. it's the metaverse, but what is it? yeah, who knows? is it the 3d internet? is it a cluster of virtual spaces? or is itjust cyberspace from the 1990s? this whole thing has been muddled further by facebook, which liked the idea so much that it renamed itself meta — possibly so that when we think about the metaverse, we think of them. so many questions but so few definitive

she is an expert in russian for an insecurity policy at kings college london dom until it's going to have you on the program. russia is saying that it's forces or retreating from here, so on. but ukraine, the military is not rushing in to fill in a vacuum. why is that? well, i think of as will affect by your correspond and i mean the ukrainians are very worried that it could be a trap. i'm that you know, they could face as some kind of ambushes. i mean, what they're reporting is saying is also that there are no sort of roadblocks line . so if you say, if you could advance one thing, it's not an easy one. but i think that this announcement was made primarily for internal russian consumption primarily to prepare the russian public to that, to the food withdrawing from from the area from, from, from the city of kind of so, and i'm from sort of the north west bank of nearby river, so i think we need to see to have within, to sort of perspective. so. so you're saying that this announcement is, is basically a p r, move for the russian military to prepare the russian public for what for, fo

i king's college, london. we got his take on whether this announcement could be a russian trap. it might be perceived as a chart, but there is some simple facts. this was a region that russia annexed about 6 weeks ago. and supposedly this is part of russia. and now we're seeing the commander of russian forces announcing withdrawal . so i'm sure they will be chops and stay behind policies and all the rest of it. but the simple facts are the large body of russian troops. there's been the only large body of russian shapes i should say that crossed the ribbon. the pros on the west, franklin in pro is now withdrawing, and that's a significant make sure you got my heart and speaking to us earlier there, i can take a look now. i think the other story is my. he had lines around the world's a 23 or old man has been arrested for hurling eggs at britons, king charles and camilla, the queen concert. the incident took place in the city of york and northern england, where the king was participating in an event marking the start of his reign. the king narrowly avoided being hit. in the greek c

mike martin, the from the war studies department of kings college in london. thank you very much, mike. let's have a look now. some of the other stories making headlines. us secretary of state antony blinking is in romania, head of the meeting of nato. foreign minister. lincoln is expected to announce measures to help restore power in ukraine following russian stripes on critical infrastructure. that 1000000 across the country have been left without power or heating. police forces in 6 countries have brought down an international cartel that controlled about a 3rd of europe's cocaine trade. these made arrests in europe and the united arab emirates and seized around 30 tons of drugs. officials on hawaii's big islands have urged people to be ready to evacuate. if lava flows from the amount of lower ok, no change direction on a low as the world's largest active volcano and is interrupting for the 1st time. nearly 40 years. so far, the russian is far from home. scientists born lava flows can change rapidly. un panels says australia's great barrier should be listed

little earlier i asked ayesha siddiqa, who's a fellow at the department of war studies at kings college londony authority imposed the ban on the context of mr khan and his party members were accusing the military, the isi, the primary intelligence agency, the military of being involved in this attack and they were labelling the military and therefore in order to stop it there is already a law and there is another law is being talked about is being negotiated to stop people from accusing the military of anything and then pointing the finger at it. mr khan has had his long protest march to the capital, he was shot in the leg, as we have seen, and he accuses the government and the military of being behind a plot to assassinate him. what is mr khan trying to achieve here? well, for one, it is bringing him a lot of popularity. he is trying to, you know, thrive on the general sentiment. people are, you know, people have grown wary of military�*s involvement in politics and definitely he has captured the sentiment. and also he wants to force the government, the sitting government, you know, to back o

so we commissioned research from king's college london.a representative survey of more than 4,000 people. the survey suggests that one in seven doubt major terror attacks have taken place in the uk. i'm surprised, when you look around, you look at the population around you, and you think, gosh, that's a significant minority of people who reject the idea that terrorist attacks have even taken place in the uk. the survey also suggests some people doubt the survivors. almost one in five said they think victims of attacks were not being truthful about what happened to them. i think some things around actions like terrorist attacks are so awful that some people are looking for another explanation for it, that it's notjust that obvious explanation. it becomes such a difficult thing for us to process that looking for alternative explanations for some people is even more heightened. survivors aren't just being doubted — i've been contacted by many who say they've been abused online. travis frain, who was badly injured in the westminster bridge att
