6:02 pm
a new beginning for croatia. the balkan nation has adopted the euro as its official currency and enter the world's biggest passport, free shang, and travel zone. the full integration to the european union comes nearly 10 years after it initially joined the blog. there's anees about the changes, stephanie decor reports from zagreb. it's not just a new year. it's also a whole new currency. and here crecia feelings are mixed. seems every, every country who took on the euro standard of leaving the wind down, i think is going to be the same in racial. so i'm not happy because i think everything will be more expensive. to be honest. i don't really care about that much. i think it's probably a natural transition and that's why i mean when it comes to business imports exports and the tourism crecia is hugely reliant on many say it's a benefit. more than half of our external trades only the years on countries, and approximately 2 thirds of the tourist overnight stays done by the
6:03 pm
tourists who are coming from the euro area. so for us, it's a huge, it's important for our tourism. for our economy, the 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. we will be a little exchange, but though i will push more kind of payment and just to slowly transition i think i hope the card payment over would if didn't break, then we are in the 1st day of 20. 23 has another 1st 2. as the euro currently takes over your career is also entering the shanghai zone. it's the 1st time
6:04 pm
a country adopt both on the same day. and that means that from now on, if you're entering or exiting from the shanghai zone, no more identity or border truck, most of creations, foreign visitors or european said a lot. i definitely know border sandy and border control or sunday free movement, steeper and everything. yeah. for now, it's the new year old, that is one of the main subjects of conversation. and prices will continue to be displayed in both currencies as the people navigate their way through the transition minis, austell, i'm sorry we are losing the kona, but nobody as the people, i feel sorry, because i think a country which has its 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 creation identity. even if it comes with benefits. stephanie decker, al jazeera zagreb, or the european commission president nurse lavonne de leon travels to
6:05 pm
a border crossing between croatia and slovenia, and held the milestone to decrease had joined the shannon area and the euro zone till immense achievements for the youngest member state of the european union and both reached on the very same day. so indeed, this is a day for the history books are karesha is the 20th member of the e. u to start using the euro, as well as the visa fries own that will likely help its tourism industry, which accounts for 20 percent of the economy when equations of already been using the euro to protect their assets around 80 percent of bank deposits. already in euro's, but krasier is struggling with high inflation. at 13.5 percent. that's higher than the average of 10 point one percent. and there are concerns price of goods which were in local currency could jump further after the euro goes into circulation. cable, as talk to timothy ash, who's over in london,
6:06 pm
he's and emerging market analysts at blue bay asset management. welcome to the news our. oh, when it comes to creation, sovereignty is joining the shannon and euro's home simultaneously seen as an economic loss or gain. well, i think it's a reflection of succession successful transition occur since the end of the bulk of that independence to get into the single currency you have to prove, you know, your, your macro credentials, which is a decent public finances for a relatively low public, that lower than you average modest budget deficit, it's external accounts are now, but current count, trade, trade positions that are pretty strong also. and remember it's been paid to the euro in, you know, for many, many years. and you mentioned the economies that your eyes. anyway, creations thinking euro's business in yours and most of the trade really is conducted in that way. anyway. so i think it's a reflection of sex. successful transition for creation. i think it will make life
6:07 pm
easier, even easy for business will make trade investment and financing a lot easier and cheaper. what does that mean for levels of inflation and croatia that kind of the standard around 13.5 percent. as i mentioned, introduction, the average is around 10 percent off the charge though the likes of a sonya, the balkan baltic nation. what will it mean for croatia regarding is it's inflation figures? well, i don't think it really makes much difference with the whole your faces, inflation problem, post cove, it while you cry, all those kind of issues. as i mentioned, the currency in effect was pegged. the euro anyway for many years didn't have an independent monetary policy hatch or whatever the c b did, you have to follow, at least this way it gets seats at the table of the see can input into that decision. so on inflation and i think it really makes little difference. and the experience of the eurozone bailouts of recent years, a stair,
6:08 pm
a t increase portugal in island. of course they cost a long shadow over the euro zone. how, where do you think croatian consumers are about being possibly indebted to brussels? if things go wrong? well then, i think what's interesting about gracious entry shows that european projects is not that despite wrecks it despite the war in ukraine. countries like gray shirt, still more european integration. there's a whole list of countries in the western balkans that still want to join the european union. still want to join nate, so that it's seen as a you know, strengths are in a group it's. it's a deep by been part of a big community centers, the defense from external pressures, the global economy, but also russia. so i think, you know, this, i think overall this is a positive for curation. so if you're talking about some confidence within these in the you are, is there, and of course we've seen a tremendous amount of euro skepticism in what seen traditionally,
6:09 pm
as the old european or you economies more enthusiasm and a newer members like croatia. what do you say about the direction in which the e is going and light of that growing your skepticism and western parts of the continent? well, the reality is if you go back to the treaty of copenhagen in 94, when the old u member states agreed to extend accession to east european countries, the 30th there is a period of incredible success in these countries of grown and developed remarkably well. actually if you compare where they were 2030 years ago, you know it's been a huge success. ready they've benefited from big u structural fund flows. the macro structural reforms been rolled out as part of the session of men that these countries are generally good place to business. international business wants to invest in these countries because you know, they have their competitive, their business friendly and you know,
6:10 pm
the out looks looks generally pretty good. so, you know, you know, clearly western european countries have their own problems, their own structural problems that they need to resolve. but actually emerging europe seems to be heading in the right direction. timothy ash, going to have you on the news out my pleasure. now 14 people have been killed in an attack in afghanistan. capital kabul. it happened near the cities international airport. 18 people were injured. the body of the attacker was found near the scene . no group has claimed responsibility yet. north korea's leader is promising an exponential increase in the production of nuclear weapons state media. se kim young has ordered new intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear capability. he says it's to counter pyongyang, isolation by its enemies units. kim reports from sol, there was dancing fireworks and

6:14 pm
as i mentioned there an incredibly tightly ford election, wasn't it clearly not everybody is going to be happy about this integration home? no, the capsule brazilian is divided, as is the country one side where we are not now is form filled with the supporters of our president. like we said national level will take office in just a few hours. the schedule is running a bit late with delegations of 65 different countries. now on the other side, we have a camp right in front of the military barracks of brazilian. these are the supporters of president j. e bull sonata, and they are not happy. they think the election has been stolen, much like trump, supporters did in the united states. and they planned to continue here is you can see right now they're cooking because they have been here for 62 days. so now
6:15 pm
they're having lunch, a little bit upper rest, but they plan to continue here because they are asking even for a military intervention. now, president abel coronado has left for florida. his vice president, general, our mutual model, has said that he will not pass the presidential sash to president lula. now let's hear somebody here who is bony. he better was been here at the camp. bunny. by how long will you guys stay here? as long as we can in what do you want? we want justice, we are fighting for justice. here i am and everyone here is fighting for justice. we do not believe in the whole, profess, you do not believe in the result of the election. we not even can talk about it because we may lose our medias. so there isn't democracy on our country anymore. now, asking for military intervention, isn't that the same as asking for
6:16 pm
a military coup with a time? now it is not because in our constitution and it's written dad, if we have free powers here in brazil, and if one of the powers did not respect the others than it's the armed forces has to do something. and it is, they are doing to do something in which power do you think is not respecting the other powers adjusted not with fact. ah, the other yada powers. ok. you're talking about the supreme court. we yeah, i'm talking about them. supreme court latin defect norm jada auto. if there isn't a military intervention, what will you do here? we are resisting to mostly hands and to we are listen well, thank you so you can see that they are be plan on staying here. it's not sure that they will be able to stay here, but they, that's what the situation is here,
6:17 pm
a divided country, but the other side of the city, a just 6 kilometers for from here, there's a big party going on. so we have far, both sides about divided country divided country in d to monica and okay, of live in brazilian. thank you. we're from on this. let's go to gustavo ribeiro, the founder of the online magazine, the brazilian report. he joins us from brazil. yeah, welcome to the news out. of course, the swearing in walks a massive comeback for the 77 year old, less than 5 years after being jailed on now, quashed corruption charges. what does his term say about how brazilians view their political future? well it's, it's hard to, to answer that question very quickly because of a big chunk of flawless votes and little one by the narrowest margin that we have ever seen in the present presidential election. just 50.9 percent of the votes. a lot of these votes are not necessarily for
6:18 pm
a little but also anti variables. and i do i would say that the 2 biggest political forces in the, in brazil are little ism and both of them, but also anti little ism and end tables on their ism. but still, it is a come back up for the ages and lose political trajectory has been a trajectory of improbable accomplishments. he was a poverty migrants worked as a shoe shine or worked in in the factory floor, then rose to union leader last 3 presidential races before we need to terms like he said, he was jailed, his corruption charges were crossed and now he comes back for this unprecedented 3rd term, and i would there to say that this will be his biggest challenge so far given that
6:19 pm
we've just heard from our corresponding money, kiana k of speaking to pro pro, both in our protest is calling for military intervention. it's going to be a hugely challenging start. so his 1st day returning to the presidency, isn't it? yes, i would say. busy i don't think lula will benefit from that proverbial honeymoon period, that new presidents of the enjoy a big chunk of the country does not see him as a legitimate leader. and i mean, he will take over a cash strapped government with a lot of challenges ahead of him. he will take over a government which has allowed after both. so now the who has allowed the state of parameters in areas like education, the environment health care just be dismantled over the past 4 years. so little cash, lots of challenges had, he will have to deliver results quickly. otherwise,
6:20 pm
his approval ratings, which i will seriously doubt they will ever reached the levels they did in his 1st spell was present over 80 percent, will quickly erodes in the months to come. now these threats of violence from some of both scenarios, supported on more than just high, probably in rhetoric. are there any last week of both scenarios? the porter was arrested up to planting a truck bomb a bazillion airport. how will lula handle what's left of the country's right wing hotline as well that's, that's a big question, because we are seeing a lot of moves from the supreme court, not necessarily from the federal government, which will take over it, but we'll have to balance how to respond to, to this most radical fringes of the, of the far right. because on one side, he has to penetrate conservancy has done the big tense correlation to wind power.
6:21 pm
so he has a lot of conservatives who are against a more tough approach on these protests, for instance, his seemed to be appointed, a defense minister is against just forcibly removing this camp sites where monica was reporting from his future. justice minister is a more lastly person and he wants a more active row of federal police forces to, to handle this kind of anti democratic process will openly call for it's another tension is going to be between the new administration and the, and the armed forces, which have done both of those bids in challenging the electoral system to the point that has been reported that the presidential security rule might not be done by armed forces as it usually is, but by the federal police. because there's a lot of distrust from both sides, right?
6:22 pm
gustavo, i mean, despite all this tension around the unorganized inauguration, nevertheless, dozens of heads of state from all over the world flying in for it's even the king of spain. but what does not firstly say about the importance of brazil, internationally. and secondly, about lula standing globally well, lula is this political force of nature, and he has invested a lot in political soft, international soft power. when he was president asked her he left off as brazil retreated from the. busy international arena and specially during the most natural years became a pariah. so his return to the presidency also represents in many ways, brazil's return to the political scene. you have said as much during call 27 says brazil was back. he's trying to rebuild allows of the bridges that brazil has burned, especially with europe,
6:23 pm
with the us as well. but he is also to invest a lot in so south relations as it did when he was president. and we see from a lot of leaders that they want a lot of foreign leaders wanted little it's when and this is sort of because they agree with his politics. but also because rule of plays by the rules of international politics in ways that both and that'll never abide by christ robera found the online magazine, a brazilian report, great to have them on the news and thank you. thank you. happy new year. the pro russian separatists and ukraine. se key as forces carried out, must shelling or new year's eve for teach they released shows the aftermath. if the attack in the city have done yes, which is on the moscow's control, residential building stalls and education facilities were damaged. the assault

6:33 pm
where it all began. jo. yes, definitely. there's a reason why this is the center of the celebrations of his life and the morning over his death. we were at a museum to paley, that was, and that was bill actually during his lifetime, one of the few figures, i guessed him while he was alive. we were talking to people there. i'm just interested really i speaking to a 16 year old boy and i was like will a lot of pallet's career isn't on video. know a lot of it before the night. he said that he woke up. he just can't see why he so special to someone of your generation. and the answer was pretty simple. he was a genius. there's only one like him and it's difficult to argue with that is the only player to win 3 whoa cups. and here for this town, especially for this club santo's, you can see him behind me on the wall of the stadium there, where the z thought a peppy, a couple of the other iconic plays of this team. this is where he scored the majority of his 1000 plus goes more than $1200.00. in the end, this was
6:34 pm
a player who could strike with both feet who could seem to hover supernaturally in the air to head the bull who could run the 100 meters in under 11 seconds. so for brazilians, that part of why his special but there's another part as well as talking to a man he said to me at that he's regarded here just as a bomb more so and put on a bris resilience to that printer. i just means that he was a good guy, he had a great smile. he was known as being charismatic, but humble. at the same time. later on in this life, he turned that into a great endorsement package in which he endorsed pretty much every product under the sun, which may be dimmed slightly, his legacy outside of brazil. but here in his home town, he is that known as someone that's eternal, as they call him a speaking to the curator of his museum, that said, well, now he's immortal. and joanna, how will ordinary brazilians get
6:35 pm
a chance to mourn his loss on and around his funeral? there? good chance here, actually in the stadium, that's where he is, but he's going to be brought overnight. and there's quite seeks to preparations, i expect, so that there's not a huge amount of price that a trolling after the call that's going to bring it to the stadium. i'm there, it's gonna be late between monday and tuesday so that people can come in to the stadium of pay. their respects will obviously be there as well. just a little story that i found fascinating about in this stadium. there's a lot flucker since pele left santo's you so i conic for the club that they looked up the looker and he said only open that when i'm gone that's how the legend goes. so i have yet to see if that locker is going to be open and now that he is gone. and what's going to be found inside is just chatting with locals here and wondering if it's just going to be a paris smelly, a 50 year old football salts, or if there's going to be something more significant to share with the world. so i think there's a general atmosphere round to it. yes of a bit of sadness,
6:36 pm
but he was 82 been struggling with cancer for some time. and you can see people taking photos behind him. it's also about celebration. know of one of brazil's great players, one of brazil's great exports to the world, the mystery of pallet's loca, had shown a very, very curious to see what's inside your home and live incentive. now another news, a lack of affordable housing, is contributing to an increasingly visible homeless crisis in the united states is estimated, the country needs an additional $3800000.00 housing units. kristen salumi has more . ah, it may look like an ordinary apartment building, but for 67 year old helen, it's the home she never had before coming here. 3 years ago, she spent years cycling in and out of jail as she struggled with the diction life before here, before fortune society for me, my cell, i was not and been darkness since i've been, he had been to
