it all began. brazilians pay their final respects to football legend. more restrictions on chinese travelers. the school with 1900 searches in china, beijing calls the policy. i'm scientific. israel demolish is more houses in the occupied west bank. it follows a year where more than i was in college, citizens were forced to their home. ah, welcome to the program. russia has confirmed dozens of it. soldiers were killed in one of the deadliest assaults of the ukraine war. so far. the soldiers were house in a temporary barracks beside, and ammunition them in mac, kids come in the occupied province of den ask, well, russia says the barracks, it was struck by 4. rock is fired from us, made high mars launches, but it said it also short time to rock is green said about 400 russian soldiers

died in the new year's day attack, the russia said the number was exaggerated with the actual number of fatalities being 63 if it is, remember, you should know versus you that the key regime targeted a temporary deployment point of one of the units of the russian on forces. near the settlement of mckeever into donya to people's republic with 6 rockets of us made high marse multiple rocket launchers, russian air defense systems shut down to high most rockets as a result of the strike of for me sales with a high expose of warhead at a temporary deployment point, $63.00 russian service men were killed. well, sale correspondence, o'shelley has more nasa moscow. mom was at the def, i level sierra other than a holiday, and the russian ministry of defense has issued a statement about the bombing of the temporary military barracks in mckinney k internet 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 rest of the barracks and was completely

destroyed or not inside the were russian troops, including recent conscripts and russian citizen, a rejoinder, denise crunchy, thought the reportedly few tropical psych as well. the worse on the exclusion city shall staff. it has more now from t. the 1st real official statement from the ukrainians has come out, according to the general staff of ukraine, an armed forces. they saying that sir, they attacked units of russians in mackie of kerr, 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 their words, 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 it is rare is that this is an admission by russian forces. all the seemingly are quite a large attack and this is not normal procedure. interestingly, earlier there was a statement put out on a telegram channel. i am saying that it was a part of the strategic communications direct shirts for the ukranian forces and they saying that her 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 con, text oversee makia, close to 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,

the mars, was used in it unless you forget though, that within the 24 hour period of this strike happening, russia was launching biology is of cruise missiles and kind of cause he drones at the capital city at targets here 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 bazillions of gallons at the via bell nealus stadium and some tossed to pay their respects to pele, who died on thursday. the age of 80 and football legend started his career there and the city is holding a 24 hour wait to bid farewell to their hero. on tuesday, president luna will attend the week before a procession carries police coughing through the streets to his final resting place

a sera winner, but someone that was a team player, some of that was humble. some of them was accessible for someone that did have that big smile. and people really related to that even just the last couple of days, talking to people around the stadium. most people have got a pele story about when they might have met him or shook his hand once the curator of his museum told us about how kind he was. the people above was saying about how down to work he was. and every one pretty much had the same thing that ed sent that she's actual name might have died, but pele is immortal. he will live on forever. ah, chinese government is calling corporate restrictions on travelers from the country calls unscientific. a surgeon infections is causing global alarm after the government relax its strict rules last month. a lack of information on variance
