101 east reveals explosive allegations a police corruption on out of europe. ah, al jazeera with no, he moscow acknowledges the death of dozens of russian troops in ukraine in one of the worst attacks and its forces since the start of the war. ah, hello on darren jordan, this is al jazeera ly, from de also coming up a final farewell to pele. thousands of fans flocked to his home state him in santos,

to pay the last respects to the king of football. to palestinians are killed in fighting triggered by the israeli demolition of homes in the occupied west bank. and survivors of last he has devastating floods in nigeria are still struggling to return home and rebuild ah welcome to the program. russia has made a rare admission that dozens of its soldiers have been killed in one of the deadliest attacks of the ukraine wool. the troops were in temporary barracks, beside an ammunition dump in my keep cut in the occupied province of done yet. what russia says, the barracks were struck by 4 rockets, fired from us, made high moss launch as it says, it's shot down to rockets. ukraine has a much higher casualty count though, saying 400 russian soldiers died in the new year's day attack. but russia says back figure is exaggerated, it puts the number of fatalities at 63. yes,

to resume am liaison garcia, do they're doing them? is they, are them in the key regime targeted a temporary deployment 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, other russian air defense systems, shot down to hammers, rockets as a result of the strike of 4 missiles with high explosive warhead as a temporary diploma pointer. $63.00 russian service men were killed him over or from moscow he is out a 0 z our shells. mom was out that the far locals are that way and a hollow. 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, 56 missiles, training barracks, to which they say they shot down the rest of the barracks and was completely destroyed or not inside the will. russian troops, including recent conscripts and rusty citizens who joined the disc front of the

reportedly fuel troxell site as well, but worse on the exclusion. since char stratford has more now from keith, the 1st real official statement from the ukrainians has come out. according to the general staff of ukraine on forces, they saying that they attract units of russians in mackey. and they set that up to 10 units. what they describe is, various military equipment was destroyed in that attack. no mention of any kind of dest 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

a 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 director, it 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 mackey, a close of that is very close to a front line. and there is fighting going on in towns like close by. right, the way along that not area of the front lines. so it would not be inconceivable that such a large strike has happened. the russians saying that an american weapon system, that mars was used in it. unless you forget though,

that within the 24 hour period of this strike happening, russia was launching biologies of cruise missiles and chemicals, drones at the capital city at target 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. what's ok mark off as a former spokesman for president poosey and he says the losses in my keith could be seen as a blow for the russian military. but he also lives the blame on the us. it was really a lot of russian soldiers rush in the business. a claim to now it's $63.00 about the more not always to clear. finally, really something about a 120 irrational soldiers. of course it's

a big waste. my so i use the same boarding because i can't exactly long on the minutes of your to sound sources. see i yeah. so it's tragic beginning cause i yeah. i think time was it's real ones could be also taken accounts that lost off your brain on it. approximately 2 or 3 time began last as a russian. i'm a gen the now are a lot of discussion in the russians. i'll fight it of all was a measures which should be taken by to come on the russian army. by same time it will have no influence at all. it was in defense that right was

only formally by ukrainian army, but it was the united states of america that is and service sort of satellite. and it was the united states of america when mary and you had to central america military devices. so in fact, this russian soldier had been killed by america. thousands of brazilians have been lining up in the city of santos, to pay their respects to pillow who died on thursday. at the age of $82.00, the football legend started his career and the city is holding a 24 hour wake at the via bermuda stadium. on tuesday, as coughing would be carried in a procession through the streets before his buried in a private ceremony. well, monica do not give his lives in santa for us now, monica, so we've, we've seen these long queues outside the stadium, we can see them behind you now talk us through the atmosphere there as people come to pay the final respects to pillow. well

down to business on his 1st day in office. president lulu the silva, has made restoring brazil's leadership role on the global stage, a key priority. he held a host of bilateral meetings with leaders and diplomats from china to europe and africa, to latin america. be cmt long. i believe president lula is a regional leader who will give a strong boost to latin america. brazil's absence of the past few years has been felt. lewis present signifies the return of brazil to the international stage. former president james bull sonata a hard line conservative had little interest in fostering international ties, especially in his own region. but luna says that brazil the world's 5th largest country and latin america's powerhouse must again become a major player. as it was when he was last, president, chinese vice president once he shine, was among the 1st to pay him

a visit. although china is brazil's main trading partner, lulu the silva, is concentrating 1st on reviving his long standing goal of strengthening latin american unity. without leaving any country out, he has begun by restoring ties with venezuela, severed by his predecessor. but a lot from film, i'd like to schedule you in a for a lot with president lula. we discussed ways of incorporating venezuela into the latin american fold as well as the importance of legitimate elections and venezuela in 2024. so that they will be really legitimate with guarantees for all actors, all of them, but somebody be lula was an influential figure. the last time that many latin american countries turn to the left, he believes in strength in numbers. although latin america is again witnessing the swing to the left regional unit, he has always eluded it. unlike the european union, that unity has always depended on common ideologies rather than common interests.

that's a mistake that brazil's new president apparently intends to fix the sea. in human, al jazeera brazilian, israeli forces of carried out raids in bait. rima north of ramallah. in the occupied west bank 3 palestinians were shot and wounded during confrontations with soldiers to palestinians of died and fighting spot by these ready demolition of houses in the occupied west bank. the homes belong to the families of 2 palestinians accused of killing an israeli officer. last year, so says the town of preferred don say is ready. troops used live rounds, and palestinian fighters confronted them with rocks, gunfire, and fire box. the deaths are the 1st reported palestinian fatalities since his ready prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we took off it's. let's look at how frequent palestinian home demolitions are by israeli forces. the you in says 850 palestinian own structures were demolished in the occupied west bank during the 1st
