me affecting our lives with terrible consequences. a new documentary asks whether we've learned any lessons from the h i. v epidemic in the fight against covert 19 o. we ignored the global source to port preference before people, and it won't cost ah, time of pugs or not just ah, a rare admission by russia. moscow says its soldiers were killed in a ukrainian attack on new year's day. it's one of the deadliest assaults of the war so far. ah, hello there, i'm dealing with donald. this is sound as he relies from london, also coming up lying in state in the stadium where it all began. brazilians pay

their final respects to football legend pallet. we alive from santos. more restrictions on chinese travelers as corbett 19 searches in china, beijing calls policy unscientific. ah, to palestinians die in fighting triggered by these really demolition of houses in the occupied waste. ah, there one welcome to the program. russia has confirmed that dozens of its soldiers were killed in one of the deadliest assaults of the ukraine war. so far. the soldiers were housed in temporary barracks, beside an ammunition dump in mckinney car in the occupied province of damascus. russia says the barracks was struck by 4 rockets, far from us, made high mice launchers. now it said it also shot down to rockets. will you read

said about 400 russian soldiers died in the new year's day attack. russia said the number was exaggerated with the actual number of fatalities being 63. yes, with zillow leaseholders is directing them as layout of it. the keep regime targeted, temporary diploma. point of one of the units of the russian armed forces near the settlements of mckeever in the dentist people's republic. with 6 rockets of the us made him as multiple rocket launchers, fresh and air defense systems shut down to him as rockets as a result of the strike of 4 missiles with high explosive warhead as a temporary diploma point. 60 the russian service men were killed. we'll talk, stratford has more now from keith. the 1st real official statement from the ukrainians has come out, according to the general staff of ukraine and on forces. they saying that they attract units of russians, even mackey. and they said that up to 10 units,

what they describe was, various military equipment was destroyed in that attack. no mention of any kind of death toll lay in there would say that the human loss is still being calculated, but seems to be the 1st kind of recognition official statement. the coincides by these allegations made by the russians. i think what's surprising and is rare is that this is an admission by russian forces of the seemingly quite large attack. this is not normal procedure. interestingly, earlier there was a statement put out on a telegram channel saying that it was part of the strategic communications direct church for the ukrainian forces. and they saying that up to 400 russian soldiers were killed in this attack and 300 injured. so it's very difficult, impossible,

in fact for us to verify these kind of numbers, but just to put it in context. obviously my case closes on that is very close to a front line. and there is fighting going on in towns like close by, right the way along that area of the front line. so it would not be inconceivable that such a large strike has happened. the russians saying that an american weapon system hmos was used in it. initial forget though, that within the 24 hour period of this strike happening, russia was launching biologies of cruise missiles and kamikaze drones at the capital city at targets hit in the capital city. very few casualties, but a lot of damage done. but it's going to be very interesting to see just how the russians respond to this attack, because as i say, it's very rare that they admit that so many casualties that they've suffered so

many casualties. in an attack like this, hundreds of brazilians have gathered up the villa bell meal stadium in some toss to pay their respects to palate. the football legend started his career there, and the city is holding a 24 hour week to bid farewell. so there he will on tuesday his coffee will be carried in a procession through the streets before he started in a private ceremony. pelley died on thursday at the age of 82 after suffering from colon cancer. when john home and joins us, sat now from the village there he deal stadium, incense us until on so many people coming to join the celebration of this man's life. yeah, exactly. we've seen them coming in since 10 in the morning. local time here. young and old. and from brazil, and probably from other countries as well, waiting outside in a huge line snaking around the stadium, or wait an hour and

a half an hour to be able to get in and pay the respects to the coffee that's just in the middle of the santos pit, obviously this is where pele started his career at the age of 16 and that career for many people reached it's very pinnacle, it's high point in the woke up of mexico in 1970. and it just so happens. i've got with me someone who wrote a book about that co, brazil, 1970, some in that acount the something that i have thanks a lot to come to chat with us. you're at the stadium anyway. now to see this and you've been writing about football for a long time. so why was it? and how was it? the pele changed the game? thank you for having me on. i'm talking about 1970 paley new going into that world cup that that was his last chance to win the biggest tournament again and what brazil did during those 2 delirious weeks in mexico was quite spectacular. brazil saw some men did their name as

a football nation. and pillar and showed his place in the pants and of the gods. but above all because that walled cup was the 1st one in color. and the 1st one accessible on the wall. it's cemented on the place of football, asked a waltz number one sport, but also the place of the warped up itself as an event, as a global t. v spectacular. an off to that, of course, that woke up in which pele did make his name's use already colossally famous, but cemented it. she was saying, there was criticism for him in the back end of his life in which it seems some people said that he was ready to sell anything. no. yes, some people have accused himself were odd. he was a living bill boat. as you saw here earlier today, johnny in frontier, no us here. alex come no dominga. the com the ball president. look over a man the mayor of sa paulo. i'm every one wants a piece of pell aid, a still one to even today he'll at his boil. and that's perhaps

a part of the problem. we all want the piece of paper and ascribing certain characteristics that he did and half, which makes him a sort of blank can loves and the perfect person for commercials and advertisements . and that's the pat oaks of pele. he invented the beautiful game, but he also unleashed its commercial potential. one thing the and he didn't speak about so much in his playing days was a military dictatorship. they played under here in brazil for you. and that's also something that i suppose later on. it sorts of we're looking back in time for our arm chair and criticizing him. fool that at what she will take on it. well, in, in 1970 there was a lot of sun show ship hill in brazil, and obviously the national team left in a kind of bubble. they were kind of focused on playing and on winning that 3rd

trophy. now that it's obviously no excuse. and i think some of police teammates in the past heavily collected that at the time they didn't speak up so much space on this day of celebration of pele, a couple of questions. but overall, almost every one that we've spoken to, every one that we spoken to have talked about how humbly was about that smile about his kindness to people in everyday life, inside and outside of this stadium and around st. those. and here they're remembering him. 82 years of age, appellate being laid to rest, to morrow off to this funeral procession or home. and they are joining us live from san sauce in brazil on fine keep. ah, chinese government is calling coven restrictions on travelers from the country caught unscientific. a surgeon infections is causing global alarm after the

government relax its strict rules last month. a lack of information on their ends from beijing is also a source of word katrina. you has this report now from the chinese capital. before the pandemic, australia was a popular destination for chinese travelers, and they are expected to return soon as china prepares to open its borders for the 1st time in almost 3 years. but on thursday, they'll face new restrictions. the government has decided out of an abundance of caution, to require travelers from china to submit evidence before boarding their flight of a negative covered test, canada, the united states, united kingdom, japan, india, and south korea who also screen passengers from china. in europe, france, italy, and spain will do the same and are encouraging other you nations to follow suit. morocco has taken the hardest line banning all chinese travelers from tuesday. many fear the outbreak here could lead to a new corona,

virus straight and sparked new waves of infections globally. they ging has hit back at the restrictions calling them unscientific blended. i know you many leading medical experts from multiple countries have said that there is no need to impose restrictions on board or entry of travelers from china. the world health organization says it's understandable. governments want to protect their populations. it is asked for more real time data on deaths. hospitalization and strains dating says it isn't withholding any information from the w hate so. but with only a dozen covered 19 deaths who did in recent weeks, scientists suspect a drastic under reporting of infections. some estimate suggests that there could be as many as $9000.00 deaths occurring every day. between you out 0 dating israeli forces of carried outwards. and bait. rima north of ramallah in the occupied westbank to palestinians were shot and wounded during confrontations with

soldiers. the to palestinians have died in fighting spock by these really demolition of houses in the occupied west bank. the homes belong to the family of 2 palestinians, accused of killing and israeli officer. last year. sources from within the time of for don say that it's really true to live bullets when palestinian fighters confronted them with rocks gone far, far bombs, the deaths are reportedly the 1st palestinian fatality sense is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we took office well, according to us, during the 1st 11 months of 2022, a total of $850.00 palestinian old structures were demolished in the occupied westbank this forest about a 1000 people to their homes. and there are signs. israel is intensifying this campaign in november, $123.00 buildings were destroyed far more than the monthly average for the rest of the year. palestinian activists say the demolitions are illegal and constitute

a form of collective punishment. israel's government and courts dispute this will sarah, hi rach is in southern israel with more on those demolitions, these demolition. so come as a surprise. the demolition started on sunday nights and as a result of fighting between the israeli forces on the palestinians living in the area, 2 people have been killed to palestinians on 3 ended. one of them is in critical condition now. the demolitions will to homes that belong to young palestinians in september last year, they tried to carry out the tockets and is ready checkpoint and then the process of firing they got killed and also an israeli soldier was killed as well. now this is one of the things that the israeli forces do. it's a punitive kind of demolition that they do when people are involved in it talks or

they seem anyone is working against the state of israel, the type of demolitions we see there tends to be 2 types of demolition. you have the ones that are usually carried out by the military. and the other ones tend to be of where they've accused the palestinian family of not having the right israeli full thought it could be a home. it could be a shop, it could be a business, and in those instances, it's very hard palestinians say, because often it's very difficult to get hold of those permit. still to come here and al jazeera. why falling water level here are called in car accidents and traffic hale bopp way and 10 years after the sandy hook school massacre, shootings are increasing in number. what the u. s. is trying to do the killing. ah

normal in said bob is capital had at motors expect to get stuck for several reasons . among been traffic lights not working that because of electricity cuts that can last for alice, not far from the congestion. these people are making items like tombstones and kitchen tops from granite, tired of the constant power. they've invested in generators and other alternative sources of energy. if they didn't, that go out of business is actually is pro, hadn't known. so for us to cut it, we haven't received from ryan to pollution in everything. so to our electricity is actually the 1st thing that we are no business the barbie's pocket. a blamed on mismanagement corruption, aging coal plants and more recently, low water levels, africa reba south power station. the malware as i used to power outages with some

areas having no electricity for most of the day. the government plan to import electricity from mozambique and zambia. and other countries in southern africa taking civil action lake ariba is the biggest source of power for boats. zimbabwe and neighboring zambia. but water labels have dropped significantly because of recurring droughts, low rainfall, and an increased use of water to generate power. zambia has also started rationing power and it's affecting businesses here in the capitol, the sucker. i was very disappointed because many of the products that we sell here about 8 percent, they're fresh products and when they get by my gale, our business is not here to show it. so we see that get up, victor, zambia government sees the power cuts will continue until water levels rise in late to reba in zimbabwe. leaders, i've told very people electricity services will get better. all those have to do is

wait and hope they are right. how do mcarthur algebra had added last year? is thought to have been one of the worst on record for a high profile mass shootings in the united states. according to the gun violence archive, there were 20000 firearm deaths in 2022. the state and local authorities have been passing laws trying to limit the supply and use of guns, but those efforts are facing new obstacles. does she have returned c reports from washington dc. it's been 10 years since the sandy hook elementary school shootings. $26.00 people were shot dead, including 20 children between the ages of $6.00 and $7.00. at the time gun control advocates hoped it would be a turning point. surely this would capitalize federal action to limit the sale of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. but up the annual national vigil for victims of gun violence in washington dc. a traditional begun officer sandy hook,

joe biden. it was the 1st president to attend, made it clear he wasn't satisfied with what has been achieved. so it was the gun control legislation passed last summer. together we made some important progress progress. most significant gun law passed in 30 years, but still not enough. even the most alden supporters of that law describe it as modest. the key provision was expanding background checks for 18 to 21 year olds before they buy a gun. and the absence of the bipartisan congressional action needed for meaningful gun control legislation. state legislatures have been acting, responding to public outrage following mouse shootings. and this is using strict regulations, for example, following a high profile mass shooting democrats in virginia passed a raft of gun control legislation. but those efforts have been put into jeopardy following a supreme court ruling last year. the court decreed that only firearm regulations that were part of the historical tradition of the us as gun laws were

constitutional. for those fighting gun control, the courts have now become the main weapon to row back. whatever efforts have been passed legislatively, they say the ruling means if a gun law wasn't on the books on the 18th or 19th century, it isn't constitutional. there were very, very few restrictions, extremely hard to find any kind of restriction back them. and that's what the founding fathers wanted to keep, but lawyers fighting for gun control say, this is a misreading of both the ruling and of history. first, they argue that country to popular perceptions, restrictive gum permit laws were in place by the late 1900 century, around the country. and they feel an assault weapons ban is consistent with the supreme court. judgements. weapons are not for self defense. they're not suited to self defense. they're not used for self defense is about an individual right to self defense outside of the home. it doesn't say that it's about a right to take a gun and walk into a school and gun down a bunch of kindergarteners. so the expectation is that mass shootings will continue

in 2023 hours will bursts of outrage and calls for something to be done. but for now, meaningful gun control remain some way off she ever time. see al jazeera washington, the german government has presented a new scheme to make it easier for skilled migrants to get jobs there. but immigration remains a divisive issue across europe. several countries wanted to limit rivals, so mccain has more coding is a big part of ha shuttling gums job as a software engineer in brother. and he works for several major firms. he's been in germany for several years and is hoping to get permanent residency. but as an indian citizen, he says there are difficulties, they would ask for one additional document and then they come back and then it gets delayed for 2 months or one and a half month more. so one of those about from that i didn't like personally didn't face language issues at the offices, but in terms of employment. yes. and that is something the current german

government wants to eliminate. they say that country needs 400000 new skilled migrants every year to make up for its aging population and bundle in the future. we will focus more on the qualifications and professional experience of immigrants . and left formalities will make it easier for immigrants to take cation and training of study in germany. and immigration has divided governments across europe for decades. and this new move in berlin has not gone unnoticed. elsewhere of course we have governments very conservative governments like and poland who still use migration ass. the very combat like expression of yeah, well, more in interior policy issue, way more than looking for the needs of the labor markets. such thoughts are not how just in walsall, the austrian government recently voted down a plan to allow bulgaria and romania into the use borderless shang and so it's

chancellor believes some european frontiers need physical barriers. austria is more than burdened. we have over 100000 asylum application or the 75000 across the external border cross member states and were only then apprehended and austria, we need stronger external border protection. we must finally break the capital offenders. fences are already up between hungry, which is inside the shannon zone. and serbia, which is not. this was a recent photo called arranged between leaders of both countries at their border. the issue of migration will be disgusted, especially e. u. summit in february, but the political fault lines are clear. so as a new year dawns, the e you finds itself with the same old problems. part of the solution can be found here and can apply across the board. but other parts really can't dominate cane al, jazeera brussels. thousands of people are paying their respects the former poor benedict,
