yes, a little early, 2 seasons these days instead of fall the summer and the winter autumn this year in temperature terms only lasted a couple of weeks. the around is planning differently for the year ahead. there'll be no sunflower, no call, no wheat. all this farm are being replaced by crops, more resistant to trout used to feed livestock, not people. he and his son are slowly adapting, but climate change may well outpace them. ah croatia adopt the year. oh and joins the eas aborted us travel, said we'll have a live report from zach aah! on carrie johnson. mrs. alba, sarah law from doha. also coming up. russia steps up its attacks against ukraine's capital as

a nation marks the new year. north korea's lead promise is an exponential increase in the production of nuclear weapons. plus, i'm john hendern, in guyana, where despite an oil boom, the country is investing heavily in solar power. ah, beginning cray shirt, where the nation has now dropped to the euro as its official currency becomes nearly 10 years after it joined european union. it also becomes part of the shank enzyme, meaning unrestricted, travel to other member nations. scifi decor has more from soccer. it's not just a new year, it's also a whole new currency. and here and crecia feelings are mixed or seems eminent. every country who took on the euro, you less than the stuff leaving went down, i think is going to be the same. and gray shots, danny, so samantha, 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 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 trades is done with the euro zone countries and approximately 2 thirds of the tourist overnight stays 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 and just to,

to slowly transition i think i hope the card payment will work would if that breaks out, then we are 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 board of trucks. most secretions foreign visitors or european said a lot, definitely know, borders and border control or sunday free movement and everything. yeah. 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 years 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 currency 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. let's go live now to stephanie decor, who's in the creation capital. so mixed reactions to this from the population that very much so i mean it's going to be an adjustment, i think for the next couple of weeks. so i think we will see challenges here for the next 2 weeks. basically, you can still buy in qu now, which is the local currency to show you what that looks like, but all the change is going to have to be in euro's so this is the 100 coon bill. it's around just over 13 euro's so. now this is going to be the official currency. so in terms of you heard that people have to have an emotional and identity, historical attachment to the queue not seen is independence victory. when you look at the history of this region of this country, and i think also

a lot of the shopkeepers were telling us in particular, if you look at the small businesses and when it comes to people going to buy include on having to convert to having to give the change in, in euros, this is going to be a huge challenge also for the elderly. this is something that's going to be very difficult to. one lady was telling us we're talking about her parents. she said, well, my dad was joking that now he needs to go to the market with a calculator, just to understand how much kilo of paris is going to cost him at the same time, the euro is not an alien concept here, particularly when it comes to buying apartments property cars, it's always been in euro's, in the sense that that's how they would value it. so you have this double edged side to it if you will, but certainly the government here hailing this as a huge success, entering the euro zone. it's good for trade inputs, exports, tourism, and also briefly as we heard there the jenkins. oh, now borderless travel between the shanghai area again, going to be great for tourism and for the movement of people. so certainly here

i've seen a success politically economically. i think when it comes to the people to the micro level, there are still going to be some challenges when they adjust to what is it quite a big adjustment for them? slightly, a massive adjustment. indeed, certainly july 1st since i got there, thank you. ah, the explosions have shaken the ukrainian capital just out the country. welcome the new year, half an hour into 2023 keeps an air raid sirens rang out with blasts falling shortly after the city's mare says air defense systems were working to protect people. they were a barrage of attacks on saturday that killed at least one person a residential street on file homes destroyed real good with a dead woman covered or a plastic sheet rolled over more boom. the after mile to get another barrage of

is that was so much multiplication of the virus, as you say, is a huge surge of infections in the chinese population. that gives the virus the opportunity to mutate and it could possibly mutate into a new variance, a variant that could evade the protection of our current vaccines and therapeutics . and because the chinese government is not providing the world's scientific community, the genetic information about the viruses currently circulating in china. the thought is we had best tests every one to make sure that they're negative. if were they come to this part of the world that will bias a little time in the event that there is a new variance of concern that is emerging in china. please understand this is not to just keep cases of cove it out. that's right. that's like asking

somebody not to pour a glass of water into your swimming pool. we have plenty of coven here. the concern is about new variance. if the chinese government provided information on the genetics of these variants that are now circulating in china, i think there would be less concern around the world. but once again, they are withholding scientific information. there's been a secondary protest in bolivia, santa cruz reaching out to the arrest of a right wing opposition leader place were out in force. after friday's bonnet, confrontations with supporters of jail. the governor lewis and under camacho, he was arrested and then placed in pre trials, the tension, camacho denies accusations over leaving a qu, 2 in protest in 2019 net force. then president, even morale is from power. one. claudio election is a political analyst. he says, support for camacho has grown beyond his stronghold in santa cruz. 6 months ago,
