14 November, 2022: U.S. House control, Dems take Senate, Biden, Xi talks, Turkey bomb, University of Virginia shooting, Zelenskiy visits recaptured Kherson

1. Control of the U.S. House of Representatives hinged on several tight races that could secure a majority for Republicans following midterm elections that saw President Joe Biden's Democrats beat expectations and retain the Senate.

2. U.S. President Joe Biden told Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping they were both responsible for preventing their superpower competition from turning into conflict, in rare talks aimed at thawing ties that are at their worst in decades.

3. Turkey blamed Kurdish militants for an explosion that killed six people in Istanbul and police detained 47 people including a Syrian woman suspected of planting the bomb, but the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) denied involvement.

4. Police were searching the University of Virginia campus and the area around the school for an "armed and dangerous" suspect who was wanted in a shooting that left three people dead and two wounded.

5. Russian and U.S. officials were reported to be holding talks in Turkey, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited Kherson, the biggest prize his troops have won so far, and vowed to press on recapturing all occupied lands.
