dest tollway 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 mackie of good close on that because very
5:04 am
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 russian 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 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 was such a mark off as

5:11 am
you want a majority in november's mid term elections, but failed to take the senate. the poor showing has led to disagreements at the top of the party, political hang reports from washington, dc. it's not been a question for 100 years, not since 1923. when it took 9 rounds of voting to elect frederick gillett. as speaker of the house of representatives. please raise your ryan man with your every time since it's been decided on the 1st vote. but 2023 is possibly going to be very different. the presumptive speaker, kevin mccarthy has been lobbying his fellow republicans since the midterm election . they still seem sure to vote the speaker. really good very well. there will be 222 republican sworn in mccarthy needs 218 of them to vote for him to become speaker 5, on the far right have already said they will never vote for him. so mccarthy has made some concessions, promising to change the rules, so just 5 representatives can call for
5:12 am
a vote to remove him from leadership. right now, it would take a majority of republicans. he's also pledged to create committees to investigate the justice department over it's investigation of former president, donald trump, and a committee focused on competing with china. but 7 additional republicans released a letter saying it's still not enough. once republicans do like the speaker, it seems unlikely they'll be able to pass significant legislation because democrats control the senate and the white house. what they can do though is try to abstract presidential binds agenda and launch investigations. i think they are fine with being able to do more oversight and want, you know, the white house to answer questions about afghanistan. ah, i want to talk about corona virus where they come from. did the government have anything to do with it? much of the agenda will depend on who is handed the gap. ah, as of now,

5:19 am
president, louise danasia, luna da silva, has held a series of meetings with well leaders. luna wants brazil back on the global stage . a change in approach from his predecessor j both amarrow or latin america editor lexia newman reports now from presidio. a brazil's president wasted no time getting 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,
5:20 am
especially in his own region. but luna says that brazil the world's 5th largest country and latin america's power house 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 fuel. ha, ha, you in a foot 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 some of luna was an influential figure the last time that many latin american countries turn to the left. he believes in strength in numbers.
5:21 am
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. the brazil's new president apparently intends to fix c, n human al jazeera brazil. now norway has set a record for electric car sales. new figures show almost 80 percent of new cars registered last year with battery powered. that's far ahead of the e u, which registered fewer than 9 percent sales in norway have benefited from tax breaks and lower fees for road tolls and public parking. the government wants all new cars to be electric within 2 years. let's bring in called brower. he's an executive analyst of the icy cars dot com and forbes autos contributor. he joins his lie from irvine in california called good to abby with a. so look, norway is of course not the world's biggest commack it but it does lead the way with soaring sales of e. these. how's it managed to do this?
5:22 am
when other countries have struggled with evie penetration? i think the big thing is, is the incentive, as you mentioned, i mean, they are very aggressive on their taxation of cars in norway. and when you remove essentially all those taxes, which is what the benefit from that makes them extremely desirable in that country . it really affects the costs and the outlay that you pay as a consumer buying one. yeah, call and it, it's, it's not all good news though, is it? because there are reports that norway is planning to bring in. this new tax on e v. 's based on the weight of a car, is this likely then to slow down market growth? if people see a these as far too costly to run? based on what we've seen here, when you take the tax incentives away, it does impact people's purchasing of the bees. and i would expect that to have the same impact on norway again and weight of course. but if these are heavy, so if they start based on weight, it's not only going to not help ease, it's gonna probably hurt them more than the average car. is that because the
5:23 am
battery is a heavier col yeah, any, any equivalent electric vehicle bias wise to an internal combustion vehicle is always more waste more because of the battery back there just so heavy. let's just talk about the charging issues because no way is plagued by the same problem facing all easy owners all over the world with the limited network of charging stations available. why is it so problematic to develop the charging infrastructure for e b 's? is this a funding issue? what is it? it's a funding and it's very expensive. you know, i mean, everyone likes to think that they can charge the card home and, and a lot of people obviously have electricity at their house. they get a level to charger, not less than charge overnight, but if you want to travel more than the cars range or you want to run multiple errands during the day, and you have to use the public system, there's really still no good country that's got that handled the closest might be the supercharger network that tesla has, for instance, in the us. but again,
5:24 am
you can find big pockets of the u. s. that have no coverage. and most cars just, it makes people very nervous. they want to drive a long distance. and if they can't depend on their home charger, it's very nervous for them. yeah, i think this is what people call range anxiety. calling just to just to final thoughts on the long term trend of eighty's in norway. if people are getting the tax breaks that you just talked about and see these as expensive to run, are they like you've been to hang on to their older petro driven cars longer? what would that mean for norway? yeah, and that's what i'm kind of seeing, you know, we see the percentage of new vehicle sales in norway going toward e v. 's. but we don't necessarily see the sales growth. and if anything, there's been some contraction for the last few years. and so i'm wondering how many people in norway, they're either new car buyers and the tax breaks help them or they're not necessarily new car buyers. and they're just hanging on to their internal combustion vehicle because they don't want to, they want to face the potential long term issues that we're talking about with
5:25 am
ranging variety. and so what we're going to see in the next few years, but could be interesting. you could see new car sales dropping, but there being a lot of e v. 's but still being a huge percentage of norway. people that just hang onto their older car cobra. really good to get your thoughts on your analysis. thank you. thank you. snap people in croatia are slowly adjusting to the euro, which the country adopted on sunday and also into the e. u. shingles zone allowing internal travel without border checks out. 0. stephanie becca has more now from a capital saga. it is the 1st official working day here in korea, since major changes have taken effect. the euro is now the countries official currency, and it's also joined the shingles out. we're here in a market in the center of the capital zigler, to try to figure out how these changes are affecting the people. there is still a lot of confusion, certainly also to help them. you have prices, for example, not just here in the market, but everywhere displayed in euro's and the old currency. the qu,
