BBC World Service - Weekend, Catherine Cortez Masto holds Nevada for the Democrats

US Democrats win Nevada after a closely fought Senate race

US Democrats win Nevada after a closely fought Senate race.

Catherine Cortez Masto, defeats the Republican Adam Laxalt in a close race for a US Senate seat in the state of Nevada.  

Also, officials survey the damage that's been done to the recaptured city of Kherson, after the withdrawal of Russian forces.

And we hear from the US about National Novel Writing Month, a venture which was first organised in 1999 to encourage aspiring novelists to write a certain number of words each day.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Joumana Haddad, a Lebanese poet, author, broadcaster and human rights activist; and Gaia Vince, a British environmental journalist and author.
