The Democrats take control of the lower House in Congress after the mid-term elections. 

The Democrats deal a blow to President Trump in the mid-terms by taking control of the lower House in Congress for the first time in eight years. 

In the United States, the Democrats have won control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections - but their hopes of winning the Upper house of the Senate have been dashed. Donald Trump's seized on the result. He's hailed the results a tremendous success. Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats' leader in the House of Representatives, said the result was a victory for the American constitution. 

And a men's health charity in Derry says it's having more referrals now than at any time in its 25-year history. Staff at Men's Action Network say they are seeing up to 80 men a week and their services are under pressure. Five years ago they would have been seeing on average of 30 men per week. We're going to focus on men and mental health this morning. We're going to hear from MAN's director of services in a few minutes and this morning we are also have been hearing some very honest accounts from men about their mental health.
