dumbass region and making small advances in some areas. chaw, stratford begins are coverage from keith. a residential street on file homes destroyed real good. a dead woman covered or she told of the marble woman the aftermath of yet another barrage of russian missiles when the ukrainian capital give not almost all them on both of them of got me and my husband were literally thrown into the corridor. we regained consciousness. we heard glass shattering and then there was an explosion, one after another. we ran to the basement mode. now when we came out into the street, we saw ambulances, and there are casualties. scoring for hip, see the so chill was reportedly only closed down in recent days. it was also hit by what's believe to have been an intercepted russian missile. walker's mother, the hulu. it was a nightmare. it was a massive explosion. we have

a strong building, but it still shook. i was standing by the window and went to the corridor and hid. i can't believe it was so close yet and i show you another neighbourhood. police gather shrapnel. nearer to meet the crater of a single building. isn't partially destroyed, people rush to repair their windows in the winter cold. this is the 3rd consecutive day. russia is launched, missiles will so called kamikaze drones, cranium capital, and numerous cities across the country. all it was with his wife, tatiana, in their sitting room. it was a sudden different last there were both the hotels or the floor. i entered my head . my husband, the place was cut and was terrified. what can you do now? is cold and they are afraid of ma. strikes is a constant fear for her through perpetual hon. there was

a crash and glass flew. i was afraid for my wife, more than myself. briefly were she, she was a blood covered pavement in a park where children lay, shock fear, and the terrifying uncertainty of not knowing where the next one will land scenes of utter devastation in this residential neighborhood, the level of the destruction here. it's incredible that more people were injured or killed. this is new years eve on the cranium. capital char stratford, al jazeera, give it rains president for to ms. lewinsky says his country will never forgive russia. following the latest barrage of strikes, giggling to know several waves of missile attacks on new year's eve, missiles against people, the non humans did it a non humans or lose you and i know it. terrorists can not change it. or easter

decayed out such attacks. and at christmas now at new year, they call themselves christians. they are very proud of their orthodoxy, but they are following the devil. you know, no one will ever forgive you for the terror. no one in the world will forgive you for this. ukraine will never forgive, and you yourself will not forgive putin everything he will destroy and every one he will kill me. my russian president, vladimir putin spent new year's eve with soldiers who fought in ukraine. this is the headquarters of the southern military district and stuff on zone. and his interview address, which in said moral and historical greatness is on russia side, you went on to say that his forces were fighting to protect people in what he called historical territories. referring to areas of eastern ukraine, annexed by moscow earlier this year, before, as a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute and economist at foreign policy magazine. she don't live from washington

d. c. thanks so much for being with us. what you make of the latest round of strikes, brush and strikes on ukraine, what you think the messages from putin here? the message is very clear. he is trying to break the morale of the premium people should remember that that he and russia invaded ukraine, thinking that the ukrainian public would not support that government as a result that the country would quickly gave that didn't happen in any shape or form. and by now, explicitly targeting civilians are, as the russians made by tuesday, and i'll try to break that really impressive more out of the brain. and so we should remember that the boy now year old and the ukraine is i put out with a great deal of misery. and what's about cookies, clearly calculating is if he does even more of this as such as the attack today, that will break that down morale that was break there. then they put the pressure

on the government to set the port piece that is different on pages to ukraine. and do you think that that strategy that you describe from bridge and will continue in 2023? how do you see the conflict play out in the new year? we will absolutely continue it because there is no way back for russia. they went into ukraine saying they wanted to, to replace the regime. and that has clearly not succeeded, in fact, not very much at all, or has succeeded. so the russians need to have something tangible to show it to their own public. they probably need something tangible to show to the russian public in order to, to settle for some sort of peace agreement with ukraine, even short of having replaced the government in ukraine. but at the moment, russia doesn't have anything at all related to demonstrate for all its efforts to keep going. and in fact, even accelerating because it needs that evidence of success in your brain that hasn't arrived to date. and that's why,

but i think we'll see unfortunately more of these attacks on, on civilian targets. and that means that, that's it. we'll see even more mystery in ukraine than we have seen. today's, i do expect to some of the equipment that ukraine is getting in the coming weeks from months to to change that dynamic of it would you think to expect there? they could, they could have ability to resist airstrikes, to get any better. what we have seen in races weeks is that americans, for example, have come through for your praying and in agreeing to deliberate, the mythos, the patient this off that the payments have been knocking for as to that's a big change. and in fact the, the mens from ukraine side because with the eyes keep delivering weapons do but doesn't really have any allies delivering anywhere in relying on iran to deliver drones. but that's, that's not very, not you problem. when a war with the brain, the drums and rushes weapons and supplies are running low,

which is why didn't had this cold with president of china. yes, the day clearly coming propositional was sitting there tapping hand off the trying to support russia. so that's why russia is such a rush to, to change the course of this war very rapidly, because the longer it goes off, the more the momentum in ukraine side, despite the mystery and in terms of what's going on in russia itself. do you see any kind of threat building up to putins authority or to the central authority within russian? and if so, what kind of impact might that have on the way things play out? that's the strange thing in russia. really, i'm not seeing any demonstrations, a protest of the kind of we're seeing in iran, for example, where lots of people are going on the street despite the risk of arrest and long prison sentences and either execution. we're not seeing that in russia so, so prudent seems fairly se before now,

but we should remember that he lost this war, essentially arguing that it would be a big burden on russia, and it would be a special military operation. and that russians would be able to keep living their lives pretty much as normal. the longer war goes on, the less life become the more for life becomes abnormal in russia because western companies are needing the sanctions are kicking in. and so i think when lots of russians begin to become inconvenienced by this, this war, that's when the pressure on to it will begin to build. and i don't think we'll see the public trying to or manage it, but we may see power school. if this is russia continues to news in this, this a momentum that has been using today and as before. thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. thank you. america. coming up and out there, there's news of dozens of ivory and soldiers jailed in molly as authority say they were deployed illegally plus, when a motor sports, toughest endurance race is,

bears its teeth on day one, and he will have that story and sport ah, francis has paid tribute to his predecessor, pope benedict. the 16th died at the age of 90. 5 pounds has called him a noble kind man who was a gift to the catholic church and the world abandon. i sent eliza in quest a momento. at this moment, our thoughts go to our dearest pope benedict, the 16th who left us this morning. it was, it is with emotion that we remember this person so noble, so kind of young and we feel in our heart such gratitude as his gratitude to god for having gifted him to the church and the world. gratitude to him of all the good he has accomplished, and especially for his witness of faith and prayer,

especially in these last years of his retired life. only god knows the value and strength others, intercession of his sacrifices, offered for the good of the church community. and it resigned in 2013 after suffering ill health, becoming the 1st pontiff to step down in 600 years. he was regarded as a straight traditionalist within the catholic church. american says his body will be taken to the basilica than where it will line state from monday. o reynold, report benedict, the 16th final actors. pope arguably changed the catholic church more than anything else he'd achieved during his entire atm papacy. on february 28th 2013 benedict became the 1st pope in nearly 600 years to resign. and with his departure flight over the rooftops of rome he officially left behind the vatican the enclave where he'd held key leadership positions for decades. the official reason for the than 85,

your decision was frail health the vatican stress benedict didn't suffer from any specific illness. but even by 2011, his physical deterioration was obvious. we had to use a wheeled platform to make his way down the long aisle of saint petersburg, silica in his room, easy was indeed her getting even these last months i felt my energies declining, and her boss got insistently prayer to grant me his light and to help me make the right decision for not loving the church means whole. so 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, owned him, the sobriquet gods rottweiler. he was a traditionalist with strict views and catholic doctrine, but his was a troubled 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, of use cases. and in 2012 documents leaked by his butler in the battling scandal, revealed a papal administration, riddled with factional power struggles and financial mismanagement. i was at both conclave. there was a very different feeling, a very different dynamic. in the 20131. it was as if and is it the 16th by, 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 so 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's resignation may never be known, but the message of reform that it seemed to cent is credited with profoundly influencing the cardinal's choice of pope frances was benedict successor. hope francis will leave the funeral service for his previous hesser on thursday in saint

peter's square. tribute to bed and date have been coming in from all over the world of canterbury justin welby hailed benedict as one of the greatest c logins of his age. committed to the face of the church. georgia mahoney, italy's prime minister remembered benedict as a giant of faith and reason, giving his life to service. and the french president my whole praise benedict for his work towards a more brotherly world. people remembering but benedict, in his best town of muscles, in germany to him is not in the mood is sondra. of course, we are in a state of deep sorrow because he is our polio. pop our pipe from marked all hop and we mourn his passing on between things. i believe it's a relief for him and that it was his wish. so it's the way he wanted it to happen that he is now with the lord. i met him personally twice during the paypal visit

here. i stood over there when he got out of the car and walked through the crowd. he even shook my hand, but i noticed that already that he was weak. he was shaking, but he still went around and grated people. and we're going to choose a vatican. alice reporter for the catholic news agents. he joined his life room by skype. thanks very much indeed. been with us. i wonder what you would say the main legacy of pope benedict is. what i will say that may legacy is. what's the last act of the tree? good. so that you show the batting that particular says that in fish was the 1st that facial recognition. are you seeing worse about the transportation catholic terms? a the 1st one in 600 year. so i mean, the 1st one in the mother mattie 7 petition that brought to the presence of medical and was so more there. that's expertise over time. everything we put that bug. in fact, that will be lack of additional lease like at that position or full bathroom. the only one was able not to be shown because we were into the kevin to be sure that to

be creative enough to be sure and to find any way. and he's not a pull, were resigned because he actually was very able and very lucid, he resigned because you don't want to be too weak. and that's the prime, even when francis vacancy said that he signed these vicki national letter. he said the b b in case would be in color, but that was not the case. so it's chrome breaking so much that it can change least the chip forever. i predict that that would be more problematic the future and tell me in the tribute chip it prompts is talked about benedict kind this and i know you've met him, you met, put them on a number of occasions, was the kindest something that came through to you yeah, the kindness was a bad, very important character, personality, but not, not going to you know, you spoke to him 5, mean you 10 minutes. induce 10 minutes. you where you are the person in the word

and a the meaning. i mean, you know, i was just generally say my, the 1st studies doesn't 9. and some of the time he and after designed and just finding them use we spoke to you will, you always want to know something about your personal life. you never had your patients to tell him something. you want to say. you know, you went there. i used to go out and we just sort of see the intelligence thing he wanted to shatter bout are talking about. there was no humidity because we were so curious about people in front of him. and that's strange because the people, the, the big female shy and his shy, i mean in front of the crowds were shy, was not a mental power. in this case. he was not carried my case, but the head of the front tender carried him and it was working. but it's very nice we could perceive very well when we were with him. now for brendan news report mentioned that the fact that he was criticized for his, the way he handled some the scandals within the church, is that something that he regretted his inability to,

to handle those better or why? i don't think, i don't know if that is something obviously, you know, we made mistakes. we make mistakes and obviously knows that make you made mistakes to in some cases. but what knows, and the thing is a testament, you know, now that the, what you see just really the speech was testament of many of the seen a couple of our school and that is always the kind of person that does things in good faith. i mean, you know, you can make mistakes, but you're risking that you're doing for the best obviously that it was things that could have met those better. but on the other hand that i would say, you know, it was fair. what to do, for example, just think about the back of the scandal and the bottler, he's bottler, personal friend was in board. so he had a fair trial and then he, pardon me. so you would need that the seems to balance even the situation, even the mistakes of nobody's mistakes, you know, even me stress. so you know,

if one's better because we need to put that very carefully. what do you do? because we'll do that. he was a short play. sure. life and also the people around and she thank you very much indeed for 200. thank you. thank you. john. the president choosing thing is called for unity in a televised new year's address. as code 19 infection saw across the country, asian abruptly dropped it's 0 code strategy and early december after series of protest. but china's handling of the situation is raised concerns around the world . found louis reports from hong kong at this shopping mall in beijing. people take a few moments to stop and listen to the chinese precedence new year's speech. she didn't ping appealed for unity. as his administration faces criticism at home, but it's handling of corona virus from want to move back. china is so big a country for different people will have different demands and different views on

the same thing, which is normal way. it is necessary to build consensus through communication and consultation. this more would normally have been packed on new year's eve. but infections have searched since the government abruptly reversed it. 0 cove, it policy, and that's put a damper on celebrations. i thought 2022 or so ago, coven, i hope the panoramic goes away in 2023, and a country goes back to normal. when i see that home, the whole of last year, the pandemic is horrible. i hope i don't have to stay at home this new year in hong kong, the mood is decidedly different. nearly all cove, it requirements were removed on thursday. people out to party and hoping for a better year ahead. man, bring hong kong back. yeah. we hope that hong kong is going to be back to its former glory. why, how cold it goes away earlier? cuz it's affecting everybody. so yeah, the like the only indication cove it is still a concern. here are these face masts are mandatory in all public spaces even

outdoors. but while china and hong kong have relaxed cove, it, ruth of the countries are fearful of another wave of infections and have placed restrictions on visitors from these places. and some health experts say the increased cases in china could lead to the development of new variance of the virus . fluently, al jazeera hong kong, the u. n says 2022 has been the deadliest year for palestinians since it started recording fatalities and occupied territories. nearly 2 decades ago is really forces kill at least 224 people, including elders there john, mystery of work. lee. and with a new right. when government many fed, 2023 will see more violence. did abraham reports from the occupied with bank? it's been a year, overshadowed by loss for each grieving family. the loss of one person is one to

many months after he was killed that he has already seated. the table remains empty . the eldest of 5 siblings that went to school and never came home, is ready for his shot him in l. did it 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, that it wasn't the only palestinian killed on may. the 11th. c is really forces shot and jesse 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 reporter was described by many as the daughter of palestine. ah, she dns farewell stretched across more than 140 kilometers from jeannine to romano,

they came to help preserve the peace and molly, but now their faith in decades in prison. these cars carried the ivory and soldiers to a court, but they were convicted of undermining state security. ivory coast says their forces were working for the un, but marley says they had no right to be in the country. what god is among mazda forks, all the ivory and soldiers were illegally on the national territory of molly. as a result, they were immediately arrested and their arms, ammunition and equipment were seized and nothing un mission has been deployed in the region for years as armed groups, threats, and stability. the ob orient soldiers working for a company contracted by the u. n. rather than directly for the peacekeeping force law school was their mother. i did not disembark with weapons in hand, and they were dressed in uniform. they did not hide the identity in any way. this whole controversy should not have taken place. the families of the detained want,

they relatives returned home. the ivory coast says it's working on a diplomatic solution, but doesn't want the dispute to worse and ties with molly. we will do everything to avoid extremes, to engage unnecessarily. in a judicial debate would only create a further gap at the brotherhood between molly and the ivory coast. this is not what we want. i said again, molly is a brotherly country. molly has been increasingly isolated since colonel se mccoy to seized power in a military co 2 years ago. since then, the military government has missed deadlines for organizing elections and blocked you in forces from investigating alleged rights violations. as the ral over the jailed soldiers drags on, threatens to deepen molly's rift with the international community even further. alex o'brien al jazeera, so to come on out there in the news are from the war and ukraine to the cost of living crisis. we look back on the challenging year for you as president joe biden,

and his water setback for rafa, nevada. but the tennis, great is this isn't thinking about the time. ah hello, we have record walter corsica pass over here at fitting spring like for many not everywhere. having said that we have got some colder air, just tucking in across northernmost pass. see the winds coming in from a general northwest direction, but for the most part, the winds are coming in from the atlantic from the southwest. i mean, lots of cloud. it may have fairbetter windy weather and also meet a fair bit of rain. but boy, is it mild temperature getting up to 16 celsius in berlin should be around 4 degrees, much of europe, same temperatures running around about $5.00 to $10.00 celsius above the average. in those spring light temperatures set to continue for many as

a set across more than most pass. that is not the case. starting to get around 4 or 5 there in scotland minus 2 in aust, learn a minus 5 there. talk temperature in moscow now as we go into we're the new year where we are looking at a fair bit of wet weather piling its way into western areas of europe on that mild, moist southwesterly when very heavy rain. it's a good part of portugal that will lead to some flooding heavy rain, pushing its way into northern parts of spain, grassy fighting up across the good part of france into the low countries. conrad tucked packing behind across the bridge. dolls, and the island of ireland shall be dry, down towards south east and still warm for the met. ah, lebanon is facing a range of crises, political, economic country. many tarion children are hungry, and many people are jobless, while others die at sea. in the midst of the despair,

ah, one of his top stories to 0. you creating president, ms. lewinsky says he's country will never forgive russia following the latest powers of strikes. more than 20 missiles, rain down on areas across ukraine on saturday. and he's one person was killed in the capital. keith. it is around the world, paying tribute to form a pipe benedict. the 16th news died at the age of $95.00. the catholic church were just on the 8th, is you step down in 2013 of suffering in health in china is present, changing things as the nation is heading into a new phase of the pandemic. optimist kind of restrictions were lifted. it's called for unity in a televised new year's address. brazil's new president, louise, let us silver. we'll be faced with a number of problems after his inauguration on sunday. the country's health sector

is in a serious crisis. as is the public education system, many blame years of neglect by formally desirable scenarios. government for the current state of affairs. want to kinda get reports from year to generic not long ago, whose eyes were comments, 9 out of every tender zone children receiving the regular vaccine. it took 3 decades of hard work to build the public health system in brazil, reaching the most remote areas of latin, america's largest country. but medical professionals say the vaccination program had been all but destroyed in just the last 4 years. well, but i still feel my food and the worst blow inflicted by president job. oh, so not as right wing government was to our credibility. we spent 30 years convincing brazilians to get their free shots regularly. but both scenarios costs so many doubts about the efficacy that not only 60 percent of our children are

being vaccinated. as a result, diseases like measles and polio, which had been eradicated, are making a comeback. revitalizing brazil's public health system is but one of many challenges president like lucy, now sooner the sooner we'll have to face once he takes off his son, january 1st. education is another. the coven 19 pandemic, coupled with a lack of investment, has increased the education gap between rich and poor, and between whites and blacks. the goddesses, always affable, as alluded ballston aro, wanted to end the affirmative action policies establishing racial quotas and universities. he couldn't but stopped giving students financial aid for transportation and accommodation as a result of 30 percent of those he benefited from quotas, had to drop out, because they had no money to travel back and forth. with the pandemic that went up to 50 percent, who actually the virus also caused public schools 9 year old. the issues like many

who live in reels for villas, forgot much of what he had learned by germany. i was unemployed, i just had another baby and had no money for why fi or food? for vinicius, standing on his own on an empty stomach was almost impossible. and that is perhaps lola's greatest challenge. curbing hunger. brazil is one of the world's largest exporter of grain and need a volunteer here are scrambling for donations to feed a small portion of the countries growing number of hungry fin. geo citizenship actually has collected 1500 tons of food. this is enough to feed 600000 brazilians, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the 33000000 that have nothing to eat. that is the same number of hungry people. brazil had 30 years ago, a number reduced to 4 and a half 1000000 by 2014. now the country is back to square one. citizenship action,

blaine. success of right wing governments for reducing by 96 percent investments in social times to reduce poverty. to 2016, 2022. hundreds rose from 4500000 people to 33000000 people. that 15 percent of the country living incomplete hunger lula has promised to continue distributing $120.00 monthly emergency handouts to the poor. as both so now did. during the pandemic. you also promised an additional $30.00 for every child by finding the money to solve so many pressing social demands at a time when the economy is in crisis, will be perhaps less the biggest challenge. overall, monica in all just 0. we addition narrow resident in india's capital say they've been facing, were spiritual issues and difficulty breathing as the air quality reading reached

a toxic category. air pollution and new delhi deteriorates every winter as low temperatures and wind speeds, truck emissions from vehicles burning farm waste and industries. india suspended most construction and demolition activities around the capital on friday. afternoon air quality reading debt early this month said your thirty's band, private construction projects and diesel cause and effort to reduce pollution. well the show you all of the the pollution is so bad that people like me who use motor bikes to commute eyes burn and it gets difficult to see. breathing becomes challenging. even more sofa asthmatic people like south korea, is accusing the north of firing 3 ballistic missiles towards the see east of the korean peninsula. it says the early morning miss l test was launched from a province south of pyongyang. north korea tested more missiles this year than ever before. and a few days ago it drones crossed into south korean airspace. so says these are

provocations for got it handled by 7 north korea. ballistic missile launches a grave provocation that undermines peace, instability on the korean peninsula, as well as the international community. also, it's a clear violation of the un security council resolution. thus, we urge them to stop immediately. meanwhile, neighboring japan wants to develop missiles with a range of up to 3000 kilometers. they'd be able to reach anywhere in north korea and some parts of china, local media, se michelle's should be ready within the next decade. from the war and ukraine to the cost of living crisis at home years, president joe biden has been put to the test in 2022. whitehouse correspond kimberly hallett takes a look at the year. that was 2022 began with a major stress test of president jo biden's foreign policy. russia's invasion of ukraine as the united states join nato allies and condemning the attack led by

president vladimir putin biden, went a step further sending billiards to the cranium, military and imposing sanctions on the kremlin. potent is the aggressor who chose this war. and now he and his country will bear the consequences. but americans also pay to price. u. s. ban on russian energy imports drove fuel and food prices. way up the record 40 year high inflation for the bite and whitehouse to tap into the countries all reserves to temporarily bring down fuel costs. leave me understand the frustration in july with fuel prices. it record highs wide and traveled to the middle east to meet with the saudi crown prince. he promised to make the royal a pariah over the killing of us based saudi critic to malcolm shoji. instead,

biden warmly greeted him with a fist bump, returned to the united states empty handed. rolling dissatisfaction over the economy had holster speculating. biden's democrats would lose control of congress in november, mid term elections. but biden's party hung on narrowly clinging to control of the senate. still losing control of the house of representatives. 2 republicans by a small number of seats will change the dynamic in congress come january. in many ways, fight in legislative agenda is, is over in the sense that with the help being controlled by republicans for the most part, the way the party is going, their incentive will be more to block what he has wants to do, rather than to work with him the title of 2023 will also see a number of republicans stepping forward to announce their plans to take back the white house in order to make america great. a glorious, again,

overseas territories. public sector employees in got lou protested against high prices and the rising cost of living. it exposed the underlying ethnic and racial tensions for many see, they're still treated like a colony. oh, well good. my team restrictions were lifted, people took to the streets to waste their demands for higher salaries and better working conditions. the protests cause travel disruption. hundreds of flights were cancelled when airport workers walked off the job, calling for better contracts. and every hiring employees who were let go during the pandemic. i meant is based in a need for more stuff year, and the fact of bonuses haven't been reviewed before the panoramic in the energy sector. industrial action resulted in long queues at fuel stations is bundled stuffs. the multinational corporations make large profits, but the disparity and salaries remain. we can understand that people are angry when

the workers went on strike. although last minute negotiations prevented major cancellation. union c issues haven't been resolved. stand on defense, interest of the corporations, of the big banks, of the companies in general and the shareholders. the, the government is of course, very intent on trying to contain the strikes and certainly not giving in to them in order for it to avoid the situation where the strike was spread and workers would inspire each other to go onto a general strike. especially considering the fact that they are intent on the presenting pension reform in january, which will lead to heightened social tensions president emanuel mccomb wants to overhaul the pension system. already postponed in 2022. he's likely to go ahead with the plans in january and was good proposal for the reform to do what i propose in these reform is shifting the legal es progressively to 65 years. we are abolishing the special pension plans because these are real injustice. and there are real discrepancies,
