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 neighbourhood, 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 chance travel al jazeera give . will it claims president is wanting more attacks to be launched to make ukrainian celebrate the new year in darkness. he concluded, know, several waves of missile attacks on year's eve, missiles against people, the non humans did it, and non humans will lose you and i know it, terrorist cannot change it or easter, they hide 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,

or no one will ever forgive you for the terrace. no one in the world will forgive me for this. ukraine will never forgive. and you yourself will not forgive putin everything you will destroy, and every one he will kill or rush as leader has spent new year's eve with soldiers who fought in ukraine. ah, well, let me put in, says moral and historical ripeness on russia's side. he adds his forces, are fighting to protect people in what he called historical territories. that's a reference to areas of eastern ukraine illegally annexed by moscow during the conflict. but francis was paid tribute to his predecessor bennett. at the 16th there was died at the age of $95.00. the former head of the catholic church stunned the world. when he resigned in 2013, he was a 1st pope to step down in 600 years. but frances, called him a noble kind man, was a gift to the church and the wolf. if a handling i sent eliza in question 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 into gratitude to him with all the good he has accomplished and especially for his witness of faith and prayer, especially in these last years of his retired life is only god knows the value and strength others. intercession of his sacrifices offered for the good of the church . athenian out there as for bread and take a look back, the former post legacy benedict, the 16th final actors. pope arguably changed the catholic church more than anything else he 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 year old decision was frail health. the vatican stress benedict didn't suffer from any specific illness. but even by 2011, his physical deterioration was obvious. and he had to use a wheel platform to make his way down the long aisle of saint peter's basilica. louise is edita getting in these last months i felt my energies declining, and her boss got insistently and pray to grant me his light. and to help me make the right decision or not 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 and him the sober k, god's rottweiler. he was a traditionalist with strict use on 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 abuse cases. and in 2012 documents leaked by his butler in the vatike scandal, revealed a papal administration, riddled with factional power struggles and financial mismanagement. i was at both conclave, knows a very different feeling of a 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 leads 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 as benedict successor. well, bennet 16th body will lie in state from monday at the basilica in vatican city. hope frances will lead a funeral service on thursday in saint peter's square. meanwhile, tributes have been pouring in from global leaders. the german chancellor of shalt says the world has lost a formative figure of the catholic church. george maloney, italy's prime minister remembered benedict as a giant of faith and reason. french president domonique macro held benedict for his work towards a more brotherly world. and britons prime minister re, she soon said he was saddened by the death of a great fellow, josh. people have been remembering format, her benedict and the german town of mark till where he was born to stay long this kid trick. natalie. the mood is somber. of course, sir, we are in a state of deep sorrow because he is our pope's, our pope, from mark till hup and we mourn his passing on. we do. yeah. instinct. and i

believe it's a belief 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. yeah. so i made him personally twice during the paypal visit here. so 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. response was that when a 2nd day of protests and bolivia, santa cruz region, after the arrest of a right wing opposition leader lisa out in for soft a friday as vaughn and confrontations with supporters of jail. governor luis fernando camacho. he was arrested on thursday and placed in pre trial the tension, camacho denies accusations of leading a qu during protest in 2019, but force then president, eva morales from paula that spring in one cloud, your legend, he's a political analyst and joins us live from lima in peru at one good to have you with her. so lewis, fernando camacho is described as one of the most divisive politicians in bolivia. what do you think is a reason behind his arrest?

i'm in his support to say he was effect of mc kidnapped. well, he is in fact kidnapped by a commander, so that took him from his car and took him to the airport and inside a helicopter they flew him to let a pass. well, the, the fact that they call him divisive is because the government, which is a forum of this new dictatorships that are all over la to america, like fuel and controlled and held by cuba, this kind of system. they have a narrative that immediately we a put you attack in order to disqualify your political behavior. and of course, he's, he's called to divisive, although he has been elected as a democratic, a governor of a region of santa goose. so in fact, whether he is divisive or not,

he has no political and arm this. he has no police in his arm. he's just an administrator of the province of santa cruz one. i mean, that's a good point to make because the state attorney's office says he was arrested because he spearheaded the protests which led to the resignation of morales back in 2019. and he carried out a cou. i mean, was camacho really powerful enough to unseat the president? oh no, no, no. he was just, i hear a person from a group from my see big group back in the 9 in the 2019. and he just protested, this is his right to protest. and to immediately the population was very much against morales, a like 85 percent of the population was against it. take to ship 15 years, lead by morales. so he's part codes. he was more like a character of the situation more than

a powerful guy that came and took morales away. it was a bolivian people who took bully morales away. and as well as we're talking to you, when we seen some of those pictures of those protests in santa cruz, and that obviously is camacho stronghold. do you think his arrest could cause much wider unrest across the country? yes, infecting to pass like with 6 months ago, nobody of the rest of the provinces would be backing a car commercial very much. they, they didn't have very much sympathy. they didn't have very much so they didn't have a good opinion of camacho, today's different today. you can see very many protest not only in santa cruz, but also in different provinces of bolivia because the bolivian people is feeling that it's not only camacho that sing parity,

but everybody else that everybody else could be kidnapped. everybody else could be everybody from your position could be taking to prison at one. let me get a final thoughts before you go. because again, another interesting point from you, the former believe in president getting on as was sentenced to 10 years in jail ever. what. busy persecutor say, was her part in the crew to ask morales, how much worry is there then that camacho could face exactly the same fate? probably they, they have complete power odyssey and be the party in government for after 15 years in power. they have the parliament, they have the police, they have intelligence laid by cubans, and the military all seem to be treated by cubans. very cubans are very keen, oper, oper operatives, political, military operative. so i think she will face probably the same faith that jamie,

i knew because there is no organized opposition that can stop for the time being. she's doing the government, this kind of human rights violations. one club, the legend. great to get your thoughts on your analysis. one, thank you very much indeed. thank you. thank you, sir, and thank you. lot more sense come here now does air including canada, becomes the latest country to impose coping 19 checks on travelers from china, where infections a soaring and a new year and a new currency. we'll find out how correlations are feeling about joining the reza marina. stay with us. ah hello, welcome, novela can't the international forecast? we've got yet more snow in the forecast for japan. i'm afraid it's been quite over the last couple of days,

but the winds just veering back round to more than north wesley direction. so we're feeding that see effect snow into japan as we go on through the next couple days. western parts of han, she some areas could see another $40.00 to $50.00 centimeters of snow over the next 2 or 3 days or snow there to northern parts. as you can see, just pushing across into okada, other side of the mountains, not too bad. i think it should be generally dry with some brightness and sunshine to just around tokyo and south thereof. that he a dry, crisp sunshine, blue sky sparkling sunshine. therefore, we're creating a solar ram minus 2 celsius. it's a plus 2 for beijing, generally dry here. bit more clad across southern parts of china. now plenty a cloud making its way toward vietnam over the next day, or say, the northeast li monsoon, just driving showers into central and southern parts of vietnam. and we'll see some live showers just lingering across a good part of the philippines. you scattering a showers into malaysia, indonesia seems a big down. pause over the next few days. no significant downpours across much of

south asia. you might catch a shower or 2 in to spill anchor. but for india, logic dry had fine. ah, with the american people, if spoken, but what exactly did they say is the world looking for a whole new order with less america in it is the woke agenda on the decline in america. how much is social media companies know about you? and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line? the u. s. is always of interest to people. all right, the world people pay attention to what we saw here now does either is very good at bringing the news to the world from here. oh, blue.

ah, we'll go back and pick them out about top stories here. this, our explosions of shaken ukraine's capital less than an hour into the new year. they follow a barrage of missiles strikes by russia targeting peeve and other cities. the 1st bloss of 2023 hit, 2 districts. leaders around the world are paying tribute to former hope benedict 16 that was died at the age of 90. 5 benedict led the catholic church, but just on the 8 is he stepped down in 2013 because of ill health. and there's been a 2nd day protests in bolivia, santa cruz region after the rest are right wing opposition leader police for out enforce out of bonham confrontations with supporters of the governor, luis fernando camacho. north korea's lead as promising an exponential increase in the production of nuclear weapons state media. se kim jong has ordered new intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear capability. he says he wants the

arsenal to outclass u. s. and south korean forces. kim's comments came on the same day as pyongyang announced the test of a multiple rocket launcher. canada has become the latest country to impose covered 19 checks on travelers. some china were infections, a soaring from january 5th. they'll have to show a negative p. c, r test before departure, canada joins a growing list of countries introducing similar measures. you members are expected to meet on wednesday to discuss a joint response. with stephen vines, an author and journalist, he says the current levels of cove it could spell real trouble. the chinese government, well, the optimistic scenario is that this enormous tidal wave of infraction will recede as rapidly as it has 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 cove, it 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 demonstrations that we've seen in recent violence 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 debts. croatia has adopted the euro as of midnight on january. the 1st comes almost 10 years after joined the european union. it also

becomes part of the shingles zone, meaning unrestricted, travel to other member nations without identification checks, stephanie decker reports in the capital zagreb, on how corporations feel about the change. it's not just a new year, it's also a whole new currency. and here in korea, feelings are mixed or seems every country who took on the euro, your standard of leaving went down you, i think is going to be the same and racial any so. so i'm not happy because i think everything will be more expensive to be honest, i don't really care about that much. so i think it's probably a natural transition and that's why it's me, when it comes to business imports, exports, and the tourism, the crecia is hugely reliant on many say it's a benefit. more than half of our external traits is done with the euro zone countries, and approximately 2 thirds of the tourist overnight stays a done by the tourists who are coming from the euro area. so for us, it's a huge,

it's important for our tourism, for our economy. jeweler, mario not guy agrees, i think it will be easier to, to work and many levels and we don't lose money on conversions. the challenge in the short term, however, is that for the next 2 weeks, the local currency can still be used to buy, but the change must be in euro's. we will be a little exchange, but though i will push more kind of payment than just to, to slowly transition. i think i hope the kind of payment will work would if didn't break, then we are in the 1st day of 2023 has another 1st 2. as the euro currently takes over your career is also entering the shank and zone. it's the 1st time a country adopt both on the same day. and that means that from now on, if you're entering or exiting from the shank zone,

no more identity or border truck, most of creations, foreign visitors or european to meet a lot, definitely know border sandy and border control or sand free movement and everything. for now, it's the new euro, that is one of the main subjects of conversation. prices will continue to be displayed in both currencies as the people navigate their way through the transition. many is also, i'm sorry, we are losing the corner, but nobody as the people, i feel sorry because i think a country which has their own current maintains its identity and historical values . not just an economic and political change, but for many here the loss of a small sense of croatian identity, even if it comes with benefits. stephanie decker al jazeera, as i grabbed my workers in almost every sector in france, i've gone on strike in 2022 major reforms are on the way and many homeless expect more. unrest in europe's 3rd biggest economy,

a. some been jervey reports from pass. 02022 begun with strikes in french overseas territories, public sector employees in what lou protested against high prices and the rising cost of living. it exposed the underlying ethnic and racial tension preventing say, they're still treated like a colony. oh, when good 19th restrictions were lifted, people took to the streets to waste their demands for higher salaries and better working conditions. the protests cause travel disruptions. hundreds of flights were cancelled when airport workers walked off the job, calling for better contracts and the hiring of employees who were let go during the pandemic. look, i meant is based in a need for more stuff. and the fact of bonuses haven't been reviewed since before the pandemic in the energy sector. industrial action resulted in long queues at fuel stations. disgruntled staffs, the multinational corporations make large profits,

but the disparity and salaries remain. but we can understand that people are angry when they have to queue, but it is not our intention to make them way for us. the only option has gone struck when we start the production. so there are inevitably repercussions, and they don't negotiate. the only thing that works is for when energy prices skyrocketed in europe, front spend billions to cushion the effects of inflation to prevent household bills for more than doubling next year. and the g caps will cost an estimated $60000000.00. the people say the government must do more. even with the cat energy costs have increased by 15 percent is twice as much as the minimum wage or even doctors and paramedics joined the picket. known up today, want people to know that we can't take it anymore. that we need best working conditions in order to better take care of them. because what we want to time with patients on the,

in the be holiday season at the end of the year will be workers went on strike. although last minute negotiations prevented major constellations, union see issues haven't been resolved. standard defense interest of the corporations, of the big banks, of the companies in general and the shareholders. 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 that was good proposals, something to do what i propose cindy's 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. so we are shutting them down. but labor unions are opposed to the proposal, which would save the government billions of dollars from to year. a strikes may be over, but the government is poised to make changes for retiring workers. the unions in the past have been able to postpone the proposed reforms, but 2023 is likely to be a year on track for more strikes and more union action. and this wages are increased and there are more jobs, some of the job of era, part. brazil is in a 3rd day of national mornings, a pa wanted known as the king of football. the late football legends wake will be held on monday at the club stadium in santos, where he 1st made his name. tens of thousands of people are expected to attend a funeral possession, carrying his coffins through the city on tuesday. john holmes has mona from santos . for in the museum dedicated fellow in his home town santos. and you can really

see here where it all started for him. this is a shoe shining box that he built with his uncle. and that used in the 1st years of his life to shine shoes in the local railway station. it's a piggyback for the few coins managed to put together to try and play a match. and it then grew from there, obviously to more than a 1000 goals later, and 3 wo cups that he was. you can see there's actually in this museum, a floor dedicated to each of the woke ups. and i asked one of the people that had traveled here to, to see this museum. what made him so special, there's been a lot of great plays and a lot, lot of great brazilian plays. and he just pointed to 3 of the stalls. i'm his brazilian shirt and said, who else is 13 wo cups. but for a lot of people in brazil, he was more than that. they referred to him as someone who unified the country. someone that everyone seemed to be able to get behind because he kept it simple. he

was seen as keeping it reasonably humble. and he was seen as someone that spread joy free some difficult times. in brazil, most of the time he was playing the country, had a military government military dictatorship, which he play through. so if you come a little bit further this way as well, we'll see some of his achievements throughout the years. as he became more famous, he started playing obviously, in his teenage years and he won the cup. when he won the woke up, he was only 7 saying when he was playing in the final. you can see that roy at the end of it. remember this, the boy that's gone from shoe shining in that railway station. he raised wave one of the presidents of the united states, that he met jimmy casa with a boat. and obviously in the late to part of his life, pele became very well known among the movie world among famous celebrities. until he died at the age of 82 in south. paolo now from oakland

to london, the world has been ringing in 2023. he has a quick look at some new year's celebrations. ah ah ah ah.
