988 has been systematically demolished in recent years. it is to rebuild these national rights and values that will guide all our efforts. given our latin america editor lithia newman was with the thousands of people at the presidential palace to witness louis arrival. it's been quite a day. there were people that began gathering here in brazilian front of the presidential palace from 7 o'clock in the morning. it was very, very hot. firemen had to throw wood using hoses, had to sprinkle them all over the people to keep them cool. you could see people are beginning to leave now, but not before listening to la address the people from the plan out the palace itself with the presidential sash, which was the 1st time since the return of democracy in brazil in 1985 was not put on was not handed over by the outgoing president. a jane bull. so not of the former president has, is actually in orlando,

florida. he hasn't even recognized his presidential defeat, at least not formally. president lula said that a country as large as brazil, which should be one of the world's largest and most prosperous economies, should not have poverty should not have people that are going hungry. and when he said that, he asked the brazilian people to help him. and in that, by saying that, or rather when he said that he broke down in tears, many people were also crying, as they heard him speak. interestingly enough, when he went up the ramp to the plan as the presidential palace, he was accompanied by a group of people that represent he says the, the people of brazil were talking here about an indigenous leader, a black woman, handicapped person, a child of trade union rather workers that worked for the industry that which he once worked for and all these he said representing what is brazil and he

considers himself the president of the people of brazil. well, john russia is a journalist and a writer focusing on brazilian politics. she says the new president is facing big challenges. the question of hunger, which he's made is his main priority. 33 brazilian 33 members didn't live in hunger. he wants to put an end to hunger. then there's a challenge saving amazon, which again, lula is committed himself to. he wants to achieve 0 deforestation. and again, that's much more difficult now because organized crime is taken over a lot of the amazon and is in league with all these illegal loggers and miners. and so on. well, the main challenge comes from congress because oversee, we'd have to pass and a major news to congress. and then he doesn't have majority. it is in the minority . he's been doing deals with a lot of the sentence and to write just bring them in the ministry in the hope of

getting them both. so the congress, this can be one of his major difficulties. and little however, is known as the various fields, negotiating his life, the trade union leads. that's where he who skills is going to reading the unions of strikes. so people have a lot of optimism that though there are these huge differences including huge lisco and financial difficulties because the previous government left the small is empty . they have faith in skill to bring people together and to achieve his aims. intellectual monitor, fun says that expects a 3rd of a global economy to go into recession this year. it's director says 2023 will be even tougher than the previous year. the i'm f blames i similar tammy or slow down of activity in the u. s. europe and china feeling the effect of the one ukraine

inflation high fuel costs on rising interest rates. vicky prices from the center for economics, i'm business research in london. she explains the headwinds global economy is a facing that had been the expectation that perhaps with the removal of covert restrictions, china would re merge if you like, and reunited with the rest of the world after the problems that he has had for a number of months. now and all slowing growth, but of course in the next few months, i think with the i, my things is that they're going to be problems. because of course, covered the spreading and the, there's the question of course, of traveling to the rest of the world by us. sorry about chinese citizens where they go to the u. s. with the go to the u. k. whether they go to france and italy and it's spreading low cost too many other countries as well. and that's a big issue for china. so over the next few months, we're probably going to see quite a slow down there as well. what they are anticipating is that growth in world trade will slow down to just one percent. now, one percent growth in trade means lowes of countries that depend on it in the

developing world as well. i'm going to suffer from this. this is one of the slowest growth rates that we have seen and of course we had coverage. but since the development since coverage with using restrictions, that is a pretty poor outcome to have in 2023. so i think that's going to slow down everybody, and that stems took a significant extent from what is happening in the biggest countries in world. but with inflation slowing down with a bit of luck is going to carry on. what we're seeing is energy prices slowing down depends, of course, what happens in china in the next few months, we're seeing gas prices being very substantially reduce was in food prices internationally coming down as well. it takes a bit of time until that's reflected for the consumer in what they're paying at the end of the day at the shops. but i think it's coming and i think that's going to be the big cost a new year and a new beginning for croatia, the balkan nation as a dr. the euro as its official currency and to the world's biggest passport, free travels on the full integration with the company. 10 years off and join the

the 1st time they held the euro coin, mint it with your national, all blame the corner. but it's not that simple for many people. for the next few weeks, you can still pay in the old currency the kuna, but the change must now be given in euro's, and that's causing confusion. one north america, this buyer tells us she has 2 wallets. now. i mean, she will convert the chain. she laughs, i still don't know. we are shown the up. they used to calculate the change. my mind, we have this app now, so convert thing is more or less simple creations are still paying in corners and foreigners helping in euro's we love the kona more of course, because it's our currency. i'll leave me a problem, but at least you know, i'm not happy about the euro, but it's not a problem for me to convert. i have some kernel and small euro's and the rest i will take from the cash machine if it will work. it's total chaos with the ac ems,
