US midterm election fallout: Global implications for Ukraine, Middle East, and China

Democrats have won control of both the Senate and House in the US midterm elections, delivering a major setback to President Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency. The results are expected to reshape US foreign policy globally. Trump acknowledged the Iran war and rising living costs contributed to Republican losses, with Vice President J.D. Vance citing "the war" as the reason for defeat. BBC correspondents analyze implications for conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, plus trade relations with China. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei dismissed expectations of US policy change, while threatening greater retaliation if struck again. China sees an opportunity ahead of Trump's visit, and Russia hopes peace efforts continue.
