BBC World Service - Weekend, Celebrations as Kyiv takes back the key city of Kherson

Kherson was the only regional capital taken by Russia after February's invasion

Video showed locals on the streets, flying Ukraine's national flag and chanting as Kyiv's troops arrived. The retreat has been seen as one of its biggest setbacks of the war.

Also in the programme:  US Democrats are one seat away from keeping control of the US Senate, with a win in Arizona, following the midterm elections; and the discovery of the most significant finds of ancient statues for a decade. 

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Mary Fitzgerald, non-resident scholar of the Middle East Institute; and Andrew Small, Senior transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall Fund.
