Leading Democrats have been laying out their three policy priorities for the next Congress. These include affordability, accountability and ending the war on Iran. The men expected to lead the Senate and the House, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, said they would take on President Trump where necessary. We look at what ending the war with Iran might mean for Israel. We look at the deadly attack on a school in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine on Monday. President Zelensky says the number of dead has risen to 40. We speak to a local resident. And following the outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo we look at the case of a British national who has contracted the illness while in the DRC and is being flown back to the UK. Presenters: James Copnall and Rebecca Kesby. (Photo: US House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries discusses Democrats' midterm elections wins in Washington. Credit: Johnathan Ernst/Reuters).
