west bank. showing their love for pele. thousands of fans flocked to his home stadium in santos paid their last respects to the king of boot. ball con, charging ahead with battery power, y norway's, and pulled position in sales of electric cars. ah, rush has made a rare admission. the dozens of his soldiers have been killed in one of the deadliest attacks of the ukraine war. the troops would in temporary barracks, beside an ammunition dump in my cave cup and occupied province of danielle. it's russia says the barracks were struck by 4 rockets, fired from us, made high mas launchers. it says it's shot down. 2 of the rockets. ukraine has a much higher casualty current saying, 400 russian soldiers died in the attack on new year's day. but russia says that

figure is exaggerated, it puts the number of fatalities at 63. yes, the with zillow liaison garcia, do they do them as layout of it? 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 high must multiple rocket launchers, rush in air defense systems, shot down to hammers. rockets as a result of the strike of 4 missiles of high explosive warhead as a temporary diploma point. 63 russian service men were killed. charles trifles got more from cave. the 1st real official statement from the ukrainians has come out, according to the general staff of ukraine and armed forces. they saying that they attract units of russians in mackey. and they set that up to 10 units. what they describe was, 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 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 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,

oversee mckee, 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 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 calls he 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. here,

giles is from the conflict studies research center. he says, russia is likely to use the death of its troops to justify future attacks on ukraine. we've seen attacks like this before. the only real difference that we're seeing at the moment is russia admitting to having suffered casualties. that's really the only thing that was distinguishes it from other missile strikes, up and down the front line, and even on russian attacks on ukrainian barracks and military holding facilities. earlier in the war. we've seen that at the far end of ukraine as well as you heard from the russian program to still get mark up just now. it won't make any political difference, but we can be sure that russia will present what it does next of some kind of response to this, simply because they're admitting it that it is happened. we hear that these troops were actually concentrated together in the building, which was also holding ammunition stalks, which, which contributed to the large casualty numbers. but that's just a symptom of the carefree way in which russia is treating the casualties of its own troops. now for recall, earlier on in this phase of its so called partial mobilization,

it was throwing untrained conscripts into the front line just to plug the gaps. and russia has always been fairly indifferent to the number of casualties that it's off, as in, in trying to reach a military objective. that will almost certainly continue and will almost certainly see high casualty figures on the russian side, simply because they do not treat minimizing casualties. as a priority, as modern western military's do, is there any forces have carried on raise in bait, rima north of mala and the occupied west bank. 3 palestinians have been shot and wounded during confrontations with soldiers. ah, and to ballast indians have died and fighting sponsor by the israeli demolition of houses in the occupied west bank. their homes belong to the families of to palestinians accused of killing and is really officer last year sources and the town of coffee. dan say israeli troops use live bullets when palestinian fighters confronted them with rocks gunfire and fire bombs

including those provided by humanitarian assistance. israel says it doesn't deter palestinian from launching attacks, but human rights organizations as it amounts to collect the punishment and the families relative to end up being targeted. for example, looking into pieces of forcible transfer or instruction of properties. and as we're going to work with the culture and unity witnessed bedrail and entrenched failures, the internet has been told israel's an account how to deal with these crimes and nations elsewhere in the occupied west bank israeli forces made several arrests with a focus on bethlehem nobliss and hebron palestinian media say the detainees were taken to jail on charges of resisting the occupation. there are now concerns with his role, new ultra right wing government. that more palestinians might be at risk of death

or even displacement. so i'll just era negative days of protests in bolivia against the detention of a right wing opposition leader are showing no signs of easing and tuesday, demonstrators in the santa clues region torched cars and set of fireworks and confrontations with police. governor louis fernando c'mon shall was arrested last week. he's accused of playing a role in unrest that led to the icing of president, even morales in 20. 19 republicans take control of the us house of representatives on tuesday been narrowly won a majority november's mid term elections. but the failed to take the senate, the poorer showing his lead to disagreements at the top of the party, and to call him 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 with a good one. 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 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 president jo biden's 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, no one seemed sure that it will be kevin mccarthy. paddock lane al jazeera washington. thousands of people in brazil have queued to pay for hours to pay their final respects to football. legend pelley, he died on thursday. the age 82. he's going to be laid to rest near the stadium. what his career started,

business on his 1st day in office. president lula desilva 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 in 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 lula 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 lit,

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 personally 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. the brazil's new president apparently intends to fix the sea. in human

al jazeera brazilian. norway has set a record for the sales of electric cars. new figures show almost 80 percent of new cars registered last year were battery powered. that's far ahead of the u, which registered less than 9 percent. the government wants all new cars to be in actually within 2 years. cobra is an executive analyst that i see cars dot com and is a contributor to the website for. this also explains some of the drawbacks that could limit electric car sales. 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 ranging variety. and so what we're going to see in the next few years could be

interesting. you could see new car sales dropping, but there being a lot of ease, but still being a huge percentage of norway. people that just hang onto their older car. everyone likes to think that they can charge the car at home and, and a lot of people obviously have electricity at their house. they get a level 2 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, 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. people in croatia are slowly adjusting to using the euro currency, which the country adopted on sunday that also entered the so called shank and zone, which allows travel between e u countries without border checks. saturday, car has more from the capital,

change these days. but the could, there is still very much being given from what we've been seeing. the bottom line is this for politically and economically. it's a major victory for co asia. it's the people that are going to have to slowly adjust to this major change. officials in the philippines to say could take 3 days to resume normal flight operations in manila, after a power cut to the main airport, thousands of travelers of been stranded. hundreds of flights have been delayed, cancelled, or diverted zambia and zimbabwe have started rashni electricity after a drop in water levels of the lake which supplies most of their hydro, electric power plants. zimbabwe shares lake cutty, but with zombie at mid. sometimes it can be without power for up to 18 hours a day. adam, a task got more from harvey traffic jams like this and now normal inside bob is capital had added motorists expect to get stuck for several reasons. among been
