6:03 pm
benedict didn't suffer from any specific illness. but even by 2011, his physical deterioration was obvious. and he had to use a wheeled platform to make his way down the long aisle of st. petersburg. silica in his room is indeed her getting even these last months i felt my energies declining, and her boss got insistently in prayer to grant me his light. and to help me make the right decision on us loving the church means also having the courage to make difficult and painful decisions always look into the good of the church and not of oneself. benedict was elected pope in 2005, his reputation as a hard liner, earned him to sobriquet gods rottweiler. he was a traditionalist with strict views on catholic doctrine, but his was 8 trouble. papacy benedict certainly made numerous efforts to tackle the global problem of child sex abuse by catholic clergy. but he was also criticized for his own past failures and inadequate handling of abuse cases. and in
6:04 pm
2012 documents leaked by his butler in the vatike scandal, revealed a papal administration, riddled with factional power struggles and financial mismanagement. and i was at base complex, knows a very different feeling, a very different dynamic in the 2013 when it was as if it was 16 byte by retiring by standing down simply handed over a job. you know, that was, that was that needed to be done straight away. he handed over, as it were, an inbox, you know, that was very clear and said the cardinals were able to say, right, this is what needs doing. who is the best person to do the job? the full reasons for benedict resignation may never be known, but the message of reform that it seemed to cent is credited with profoundly influencing the cardinal choice of pope francis has been an ex successor. on pope francis will lead the funeral services in pieces square tribute supporting in from

around the world. german chancellor showed says the world is lost a formative figure of the catholic church, georgia maloney. italy's prime minister remembered benedict as a giant of faith and reason. french president demand my call hailed benedict for his work towards a more brotherly world. and britons prime minister issues tonight said he, saddened by the death of a great fellow, jan giuliano caller is a vatican correspondent for america magazine and the author of the election of pope francis, an inside account of the conclave that changed history joins us now live from rome good to have you with us. so 1st of all, thank you. tell us about how he will be remembered in terms of the mark he left on fee ology and doctrine. or i think he will be seen as one of the great theologians over the past millennium. a few people have become pope, would such
6:06 pm
a theological background would such erudition in theology and it during, throughout his life he wrote books, he wrote articles that have been formative for many people. and he wrote during what he was pope, he wrote the life of jesus in 3 volumes. and this is quite extraordinary that during his time as poor as managing, as governing the church. he could find time to, to write the biography of jesus. he will go down in history really also as a pope who has changed the papacy by resigning he was the 1st pope in 600 years to resign. and he was the 1st he has opened the door for his successors. if they feel that they do not have the physical or mental energy, or indeed they cannot bear the weight of office to resign. all right. how when it
6:07 pm
comes, of course the issue is some of the issues which are he had to deal with during his time as pope child sex abuse within the clergy kind of legacy. dizzy leave behind on that issue? well, he will go down. i think in his trail, so for doing 2 things, one dealing really setting very strict rules for dealing with the child abuse questions and secondly, and then for also for he himself was the 1st poke to go out and meet abuse victims and to try to set up a structure, a legal structure within the church that would guarantee protection of children in the future. the 2nd thing that he did was he really sought to route out financial corruption from the vatican. and he again here,
6:08 pm
set up structures which francis has built on both of these structures to or ensure that there is real cleanliness, integrity in the handling of finances in the vatican central offices. okay, i am also faced sir. i wrote some control, this is the near. when quoting the koran are confusing the 2nd sora, a late a text as an earlier text. ah, kicking off a controversy of the muslim world, that it factual errors like that demonstrate the limits of traditionalism. well he, he obviously had made a grave error in that speech and regensburg university. and it sparked real anger in the muslim world. indeed it, in some places there was uprising against christians and some people were killed.
6:09 pm
but he realised that he had somehow got it wrong. and his successor though, during his time his pope, he sought to make amends. i mean, he went to the blue mosque in, in turkey and pray there. and he visited other other most as well in. and he opened to the intellectuals, but i don't think he ever reached the man, the muslim woman and man in the street. they felt a little uneasy about him. whereas frances, his successor, has reached out to the muslim world in a way that benedict never was able to do. i thank you so much for your thoughts on that. thank you. ah. our new year's eve, a barrage of russian miss aus rained down on areas across ukraine.
6:10 pm
this is the scene in the capsule care for at least one person was killed and several injured about 10 explosions. were heard that go live now to charles, transferred his at the scene of an attack in key if so why? it's a heavy new year's eve. the people have to face there. yes, i me a very grim seen. hey, you join us in a residential neighborhood. in the center of key, you can see somebody's car behind, made completely destroyed, ripped to pieces by shrapnel. seems as if a cruise missile has landed smack bang in the center of this residential area. if i else goes good just to follow me down, the policy will show you the crater. this whole area is surrounded by residential 6 story flats. there's not a single one where the glass has not been completely shattered. many of these
6:11 pm
buildings partially destroyed. the main you could see daphne, in collecting shrapnel from what's understood to have been the cruise missile. and just in front of them there, you can see the crater to lodge, i suppose, about 2 metre, deep crater. we have far past the large pool of blood as well. i am on the way in. we understand that there were a number of people injured at this site, one of a number of sites across the capital. where am misunderstood a number of these missiles where i see intercepted this we understand actually hate and exploded, as you can see in this area. but sir, mexico, the mayor of kia, be saying at least 7 of those missiles were intercepted. there were other areas of the country also hit named me michel, i have in the south where we reported injuries and an area to the west of the country. also, at least one person killed at least 20 others injured. i mean,
6:12 pm
i'm looking at people here, poor residents overseas doing their best to clear up the glass. i mean, it's yeah, out of the chaos really here. you can imagine the sound of this explosion as it came in to hit one resident just just describing the sheer panic as it did happen of this is the 3rd consecutive day where the capital and other areas of the country have been hit either by kamikaze drone stroke and will targeted by chemicals, he drone strike ship, which the ukrainian government said were intercepted the day before. then there were around 70 cruise missiles that targeted various areas of the country. the majority of those were intercepted. we've shown you just interception missiles can, can have well this, as i say, is a direct change in the middle of a residential area of the capital city. and there is absolutely no sign
6:13 pm
a tool that most can we stand. he's trying to target energy infrastructure, important bits of infrastructure across the country that basically putting out electricity, rolling blackouts. imagine this neighborhood is got no light whatsoever. you can see lights in people's houses, but that's torches and generators. there are millions of people without electricity across this country, many without heat. so yeah, new is ave, in the capital of ukraine is a deeply, deeply depressing, and for many people terrifying place. thanks so much. charles stratford, russia's leader has spent new year's eve with soldiers who forth in ukraine. let me tell you, said that moral and historical right misses on russia side. he went on to say that these forces were fighting to protect people and what he called historical
6:14 pm
territories. that was a reference to areas of east in ukraine illegally amex by moscow. earlier this year . i see more ahead on the news hour, including i'm here, morgan in he sense the dad coming up. what if he'll be in refugees? think of the deal. fine this year between the to grand rebels and if you have in government and their chances of returning home in school is one of 4 balls. most famous names is on the back of a new shirt. and these, here with that story, ah, china's president changing thing says the nation is heading into a new phase of the pandemic in the new years address he called so unity to combat the virus. beijing abruptly dropped its covey restrictions in early december after nationwide. protests, numbers of infections of surge since then putting a strain on overcrowded hospitals and health workers ging wor, jenco, georgia,
6:15 pm
eleanor deep with extraordinary efforts be prevailed over unprecedented difficulties and challenges. and it's not been an easy journey for anyone. we have now entered a new phase of cupboard response, where tough challenges remain shared. juan slurry was watching that address in hong kong. he talked about the economy and said it's resilient. he said the long term fundamentals remain unchanged. there was no mention of quantitative measures that would be needed to booth the economy. something that we had seen other countries do when the pandemic was raging. he also talks about how china is so big that different people will have different demands and they will have different views. when coming about the same thing. i think this he talking about how they have been different reactions to the government measures on proven 19. now it's difficult to see how his remarks are going to be well received in china. he took, when he mentioned that the administration at beat,
6:16 pm
in an unprecedented challenge. i think many people in china will take very differently at the moment. we know that there is a search in cold cases in china. the hospitals are overwhelmed. there is a shortage in bed in medicine, medical staff are saying that they have to report into work even when they're not feeling well. and i think that, you know, his, his remark show that there is a certain level of disconnect between the administration and what the chinese people are experiencing. now, people have to take into social media to criticize the chinese government policy. one media outlet had collected stories from 2022 stories that particularly touched chinese people. and many of these stories touched on the difficulties that people had experienced in dealing with covert 19. now that post was taken down by noon on saturday, an indication of just how sensitive this topic still is in china. of steven vines is a journalist and political commentator. he's the author of defying the dragon, hong kong and the world's largest dictatorship,
6:17 pm
joins us from st. halbens in the u. k. good to have with us. so 1st of all, she teaching things new years address. it didn't touch perhaps as much as one might have expected on the big challenge facing china right now, a resurgence or a possible resurgence of cobra. 19. why, i assume the reason is because it's such a mess. i mean, we've just heard from your correspondence in hong kong of the overwhelming of hospitals, the shortage of medicines, the lack of preparedness for having suddenly damaged the cove is 0 policy and open the floodgates which will literally lead to millions, hundreds of millions of people being infected with co grid and multiple desks. so it is kind of the weight of the regime response to these things. if something is really bad, they prefer not to talk about it and just say in general terms,
6:18 pm
this is a big challenge. we have the resources to face it and leave it at that. is this going to be the situation going forward to 20? 23 now is trying to kind of court between the will of protesters and the reality of 0 cove in not having worked at least to the extent that officials might have hope for. well, the optimistic scenario is that this enormous tidal wave of infraction will recede. as rapidly as it is emerged, that's quite not to mystic reading. but if that happens, but it's possible to say that they can be a restoration of business more or less as normal. but only indications are that you may find the, the coven crisis, lingers longer than the leadership expects it to the level of discontent among people rises even if it isn't seen in open demonstrations. just sporadic
6:19 pm
demonstrations that we've seen in recent balance. and most importantly, it almost inevitably will lead to a continuation of the economic slowdown. and the growth of the economy has always been the main thing that the chinese communist party has offered to the people of china as a indication of its legitimacy to rule the country. it says we can deliver the economic goods and nobody else can do that. well, at the moment, many, many people are unemployed. people's incomes are falling, and a lot of people are in, in ludicrous levels of debt. well, in addition to those challenges have protested, shown that they can successfully challenge and also government policy. when we talk about the protests over coven restrictions, and what does that mean for challenges facing the government in 2023. well,
6:20 pm
i think this is one of the most fascinating questions. because in the great order of things, the process will not that large. they were incidentally very widespread. i mean, they were all over china, but they weren't large enough, wasn't hundreds of thousands of people yet. it shook the communist party to a very considerable degree. and i think that at the moment they're trying to calibrate who we just in their view crackdown on all sides of the process. so is there a way of accommodating the views of the population? and i'm not sure that they have actually resolved that question. i think this is something which is very actively debated at the highest level so of the communist party leadership. i thank so much for your analysis but you and says 2022 has been the worst year for palestinians since it started a recording desk. nearly 2 decades ago is ready, forces killed at least 224 people in occupied palestinian territory,
6:21 pm
including al jazeera journalist, sharina barclay, and with a new right twin government. many fear 2023 will see more violence die. abraham reports from the occupied west bank. it's been a year over shadowed by loss for each grieving family. the loss of one person is one to many months after he was killed that he has already seat at the table remains empty. the eldest of 5 siblings that went to school and never came home, is ready for the shot him in elvita in the occupied westbank. no matter how hard she tries, his mother, mary. yes, as no words can express her pain. janna matthew, have a daughter, felicia. ha ha. i want to know why he was killed. it's a simple ask. the area was, can no confrontations. children were going home after school children who never fulfilled their dreams,
6:22 pm
that it wasn't the only palestinian killed on may. the 11th. c is really forces shot and just he had a journalist cheating a barclay in the head while she was on assignment in genes that about them cause the end of, of the veteran to puerto was described by many as the daughter of palestine. ah, she didn't speak well stretched across more than 140 kilometers from jeanene to romano, to our final resting place in occupied as jerusalem. and perhaps some of the most shocking scene in the occupied territory this year. the attack on poor barriers, atchison's funeral in midst of global condemnation, palestinian demanded action. decide anything of a position when we're discussing him. there is offenders which include journalist, paramedics or any other palestinian a. so not necessarily working in civil such organizations is and is
6:23 pm
a way of maintaining the upper darby gym. and in essence the upper denture gym as was here today and is at all of a forcing sinus at a could organism palestinians have told us if they had to choose one word to sum up 2022, it would be oppression. remember those who were killed by posting their photos online displaying their pictures on walls and talking about them. their images became part of public spaces. palestinian say that without just there's an accountability collective morning helps families through their grief. neither abraham al jazeera, the occupied westbank. now marian, but haughty is a palestine correspondence for one device, news websites. she joins us from ramallah in the occupied westbank have you with us? so past indians have of course, long in jude's occupation. but what may 2022 exceptionally deadly
6:24 pm
i'm going to having the same. so 2022 came after we witnessed the rise of that landmark last year chanting that the arabs it was the last year that last year for policy mean children and the fact that nobody was held accountable only meant that israel can intensify and delay it's direct vital, some palestinians, and i think that's what happened here. we saw the way impunity work is that it also in bold and you've had more than 230 palestinians killed one by every single person killed with a child or a minor israel was killing palace. the means through extra judicial fascination. this is a practice that has employed historically, but continuously intensified it this year. and yet it wasn't held accountable. it
6:25 pm
killed that. the israeli army killed shooting off the bill, not held accountable. so, so what we saw was role colonialism. and in building settlers, but what we also saw is the rise of palestine confrontation, armed resistance and specific and that the younger generation is very aware of that. appealing to the u. n is not going to save their lives. icelanders are quite literally kicking them out of their homes at gunpoint and through used to having one of the most powerful armies. let me jump in and put you these really line. they say that they are simply responding to an increase of palestinian attacks, a knife attacks on israelis. this has constantly been really narrative on the not that this is the higher state that was built
6:26 pm
through the killing ethnic cleansing palace themes up until now. but if you even look at the data that is collected by dinos apologise, sinus organization, the number of attacks that happen throughout this year, more almost 70 percent were by the israeli army recorded. and the 30 percent that were documented up palestinians were mostly age. things like doing throwing or molotov cocktails. and if this is an army that long being incredibly strong, technologically advanced and powerful, then it know that it is using a disproportionate use of expensive violence. what's happening this year was a military offensive called break. the way that was planned and strategize with through employing the intelligence june. it's like the israeli bod, and they're shabbots. we're sion beds. and that's really what it is to try and gave
6:27 pm
the time that you're given that the israeli government includes ministers who have been convicted of racism. another one who is on the rack holders calling for the segregation of jewish and palestinian mothers in maternity ward. you know, people like that. is there any reason to believe that 2023 is going to be any less deadly? i think 2023. if anything's going to be more mis we, we heard settlers last year's telling, telling me, and then the 2nd neck is coming. and what we're seeing is that these aren't threat there warning and nobody really mobilized enough stuff that i think is going to be more more deadly. do we also see a dynamic in 20? 22 with the increasing emergence of armed palestinian groups like the
6:28 pm
lions den and where is that going to leave? not only these very palestinian dynamic but the internal palestinian dynamic in the palestinian authority. i think this new generation is really track touring and whether it's the armed resistance or not, this new generation is fracturing rupturing on the palestinian political fragmentation. so their main concern is liberty. it is dignity. it is not having to live through one war after the other as a child and as a teenager, and then as an adults. so when, when it comes to internal dynamics, i think it's going to define itself as we go. it's really hard to predict or steve, because it hinges on the collective response to the continuous repression, the continued ethnic cleansing the happenings. first and foremost,
6:29 pm
these are the fighters are, are confronting the settlers that are trying to just place them and then they're also within the palestinian collective part of a larger sense of resistance and unity that in burg here. and that there's more support. yes. ok, we'll leave it up. thanks so much remotely. thank. now the libyan coast guard says it's stopped to ship carrying at least $700.00 refugees and migrants, one of the largest in deceptions. in recent month, the vessel was full of the blocked on friday, near the town west of ben advisory, as it was making its way to europe, the migrants and said to come from several countries. far as the say, those who entered libya illegally will be handed over to the home states. refugees who fled the conflict in a few of his trigger. i regions say they're worried about returning home. despite

6:33 pm
those inside, if you hope that the coming months bring stability. but those in refugee camps outside the country, save ill wait to see if the deal holds and things improve before they can return home. hip morgan august 0 got out if eastern sudan still had on al jazeera, we look back on the year of strikes across several industries and farms. how industrial action could continue in 2023 and sold a sidebar for a while and the dog. but his grades and cecilia with hello there will start this forecasts in south america. and thunderstorms continue to steal, to show particular cause northern parts of the content. rushing all the way down
