but as not confirmed how many people were killed is to resume am liaison that says do that to them. as many of them in the keep regime targeted, a temporary diploma point of one of the units of the russian armed forces near the settlement of mchuga in the de nest people's republic. with 6 rockets of us made hammers, multiple rocket launchers, or other russian air defense systems, shut down to hammers. rockets as a result of the strike of 4 missiles with high explosive warhead at a timber diploma point. 63 russian service men were killed him away from moscow. his al jazeera 0 shows now was out that the far load was here a lot way on a holiday. and the russian ministry defense has issued a statement about the bombing of the temporary military barracks in the keep going to let scott minutes into the new year. he saw, according to the russians, the ukrainians fight 6 missiles, training barracks, to which they say they shot down the rescue at the barracks and was completely destroyed or not inside the will. russian troops,

including recent conscripts and russia citizen who joined the dentist front of the reportedly fuel trucks on site as well, the worse on the exclusion. and charles traffic has the view from key if it's fair to say that what's significant here is that this is a rare admission by the russian defense ministry that such an alleged attack happened. and they are admitting to that 63 soldiers according to them, were killed in this attack, using what they describe as a u. s. supplied. he malls, rocket systems. interesting. there has been a statement put out by the strategic communications directorate for the ukranian armed forces. now this is only telegram channel and it uses some pretty floral language as world are describing what it says were $400.00 soldiers in this attack, they were killed describing them as pig dogs and another $300.00 the sir were injured. now this con languages is not uncommon, it's used by both sides in this war. but sir,

the town of mackie of god is north of donetta. it's not directly on the front line, but it's close to some pretty heavy fighting on the east and sections of donuts near the town of i've d of co, i think what's important also to mention in terms of context is on the night that this attack allegedly happened russia launch dozens of cruise missiles at targets, and the ukranian capital and the wide country. what remains to be seen is how the russians respond to this alleged attack. because as i say, there is no way that we can independently confirm these figures being put out by both sides. well, samuel romani is an international relations specialist at oxford university and also an associate fellow with the roll. united services institute for defense and security studies. he joins us up from oxford. welcome to the program. as we heard that conflicting numbers when it comes to casualties, but of course, by any stretch of the imagination, this is

a significant attack. what's your understanding of what's happened here? well, i think that obviously you, wayne was answering to the wave of that. miss allen drums drank it, occurred in the capital against a 1000000 infrastructure ger on either side of the new year and debt ukraine couldn't have responded to one a few ways. you could have responded by striking russian territory again. i could get it angles around christmas time. work of stab responded by striking targets inside on bass. i could stand repeatedly. the interesting thing about this attack is that mackie fca is a stronghold for russian conscripts typically attacks of this nature. and because now and other parts of the front line we're targeting warden are mercenaries. and how unusual is it for russia tool to admit the casualties on this scale? according to the russian defense ministry, the numbers and at least in excess of around 60, we may well see that number fluctuate is unusual for the mission of icon. wasn't usual to admit den casualties in russia because russia very infrequently updates

his casualty of yours for the war. and when it does talk about casualties and usually talks about them in broad generic terms like heavy losses. the which you bash harvey's is that phrase quite often. and doesn't really go into exact numbers . it's interesting, for example, another attack of them at the sky in scale. about, i'm of come dashing, 20 age in syria war than 200 russians died. they finally 5 or 10 died. so admission of this level casualties in either syria or you grant is quite unique. it does by the question, of course, how will this be communicated by comb given already signs of rumblings and discontent. so particularly amongst people being recruited and constructed into conscripted rather into the russian army. well, this definitely is a blow to the partial mobilization drive ins. also raised a lot of questions about the operational and these that are associated with that. for example, as lensky has said, back mood in many other parts of dynamics can affectively been depopulated. almost all the civilians are got as many empty buildings and be schools empty residences. why we're ah,

500 conscripts concentrated all in one place where they could be easily target at an easily track with the use of cell phones. why wasn't there underground bunkers that were established given the fact that this been almost a years, this is war started. so there's already been recriminations on telegram andrea from war hawks and debt and where cor, frustrated with the defense ministry reform us and this sa debacle is went to intensify those criticisms. a huge number of outstanding questions indeed, some ramadi. many thanks for joining us. thank you. very much ah, now global superstar from brazil, the billions around the world simply no as polite, a footballing legend who defied the rules of gravity and transformed football into what is now simply seen as the beautiful game pallet's the only footballer in history to win 3. well cup trophies and he scored countless goals that many players have not matched or surpassed. while mourners from brazil and around the world are

in the city of santos, to pay tribute to the legend who died on thursday. you're looking at live pictures of the scene. they're also out there as john holman. john, this of course is a day of sorrow, a day of celebration as well. what's the mood that sum it up for us, please? i think probably more celebration than sorry you can see on the banner probably behind us that says that he was 82 years old when he died pele and he beats suffering from cancer quite weak for some time now. so i think that now the inevitable has happened is died. a lot of people are sort of celebrating his life. and it's a lot, it's a chance to look back at something that probably many brazilians, perhaps weren't even born in his peak years. popella that we're back in the sixty's of course, it all started here in sam thought that's why we're here in this small ground which

holds about 16000 people. and he began here when he was 16 years old with the, with the club. he was kept in his 1st season. he went on to play for brazil in the 981950. 8 woke up when he was only 17 years old. and from there it was history really for him. i think a lot of people that are coming here, they remember him because of those 3 wo cups that he helped to give to brazil. because of his $1293.00 all there will, thereabouts goes. but also because he became someone who was iconic, not just for how he played, but the how he was he had that smile. he had the axis accessibility. when you watch old news rails, he's taking questions from every one. you know, he's not a, an aloof, standoffish presence and that continued off that he played some might say that it named his a, his magnetism slightly when he was during so endless endorsements from moss to cups of viagra in his late to years. but he was certainly an icon and

a national treasure, not just in metaphorically, for the people here, but also legally during his pick. he is, the brazilian government actually declared him as such. and that he couldn't be exported from the country sontols his club weren't allowed to sell him. that's his importance in brazil. a john, please remind as why the wake is taking place there, as opposed to although world famous stadiums and bizarre because they symbolizes for brazilians. what he's about, i think of her audience, his might be around the world a going to remember him for his exploits in the yellow jesse of brazil, particularly in the 1970 whoa comp. i think we've talked about where he came from. that really was seen as quite a pinnacle for him. by that time, he was already quite old. he was 30 almost 30 years old and it was seen as a great pressure for him to cement his legacy. he needed to bring that back to brazil. it's interesting, i think when you hear him talking about what that men,

he said the great is gift in victory, i think is not the trophy. it's the relief. and that gives a sense of the amount of responsibility that's his would when he was talking about that he fell on his shoulders to bring that to brazil to bring that to his home country and how he was valued in this nation. i suppose it also says something about the pressure on the way of that. he showed us about being polite. of course, that wasn't his real name. his real name was at soon as men talks, but he had to step into that character. he had to become that person, not just when he was playing, but in his late to life, he had to be that celebrity, that person, that all of brazil loved a privileged, i guess in. so a burden and now it's over and he's being celebrated here. don norman live in santos me. thanks. now a surgeon cove in 19 infections in china is causing global alarm increasing number

not presented before. we see the interest rate go from 0 and dollar all the way to 4 and a half percent of the year. we've seen the euro come up from subs 0 interest rates to 2 and a half percent. it could reach 3 percent very soon. i mean, yesterday i did see pro friend a very interesting analysis, a combination or a summary of all 2023 forecast from goldman sachs, morgan stanley, jeff morgan, and the light and the old show indications worse than 2008 crisis. we've seen trends, we haven't seen number of stock market decline, percentages of stock market, the erosion of the new ations, the pricing of all asset classes. if you look at the private equity space, you see that the repricing of assets and the private equity is worse than 08 now. but how do we curve this? is it by raising interest?
