showing their love for pele. thousands of fans flocked to his home stadium in santos, to pay their last respects to the king of football. and charging ahead with battery power, y norway's in position in sales of electric cars. ah rushes made a rare admission. the dozens of his soldiers have been killed in one of the deadliest attacks of the ukraine war. the troops were in temporary barracks, beside an ammunition dump in mach, if cash in the occupied province of dun yeske, russia says the barracks were struck by 4 rockets fired from us, made high mars launches. it says it's shot down to rockets. ukraine has a much higher casualty count 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, give it is. remember when you struggle darcia studio doing them? if many of them in the keep regime targeted, a temporary deployment point of one of the units of the christian numbed forces near the settlement of mckeever in the de next people's republic with 6 rockets of yes, made hammers, multiple rocket launchers, or other russian id defense systems shut down to hammer's rockets as a result of the strike of 4 missiles with high explosive warhead as a temporary diploma pointer. 63 russian service men were killed him of. charles trifold has more form 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

death toll lay in there would say that the human loss is still being calculated. but it 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. 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, 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 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 is there any forces have carried out raise

in beta rima north of ramallah. in the occupied west bank. 3 palestinians have been shot and murdered during confrontations with soldiers. and to palestinians have died and fighting, sparked by the israeli demolition of houses in the occupied west bank. the homes belong to the families of 2 palestinians, accused of killing and israeli officer last year, sources and the time of cuff done. se israeli troops use live bullets when palestinian fighters confronted them with rocks gunfire, and far bombs the data. so the 1st reported palestinian fatalities since israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. so we took office the un records, $850.00 palestinian own structures were demolished and the occupied. why spain june, the 1st 11 months of 2022. as a result, about a 1000 people were forced from their homes, but are signs that israel is intensifying the campaign. in november last year,

a $123.00 buildings were destroyed. palestinian activists say the demolitions are illegal and form of collective punishment. israel's government and courts say that's not true, said car that has more from southern israel site that's becoming all too common in the occupied west bank. hundreds of mourners gather for the funeral to stimulate. one of them was shocked in the chest several times during, from taishan, with his ready forces on monday. also, they entered the village for don demolish to home. the houses belonged to the families of 2 palestinian men who were killed in september while carrying out an attack. it's a checkpoint. israeli soldier was killed. the palestinian health ministry says several palestinians were injured in the latest crossfire. israeli military says its troops came under heavy fire and fought back several dialed in women in the name. they made 2 families homeless. they eventual collective punishment. now if

they could, they would demolish high area, legitimate. israel has long implemented a policy of demolishing the houses of palestinians accused of killing israeli. this could also include the homes of their families or relative the united nations reports that israel has force more than the 1000 palestinians out of their homes in the occupied west bank. and that was just last year. but since 2009, it's demolish more than $9000.00 homes and building, including those provided by humanitarian assistance. israel says it does the palestinians from launching attacks. so human rights organizations as the amounts of collective punishment and the families relative to end up being targeted. for example, looking into pieces of for school transport or the destruction of properties. and we're going to work with a culture and you know,

witnessed bedrail. and this entrenched failures, the internet has been told israel's an account how to deal with these crimes against nations. elsewhere in the occupied westbank 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. dozens of people in brazil have queued for hours to pay their final respects to football. legend pele, he died on thursday at age 82. he's going to be laid to rest near the stadium. with his career started. john home reports from santos. her late coming

home to the very last time to the super ground where he made his name is a 16 year old. the smooth villa bone marrow stadium returned to suntrust team into a global force and himself into hey, the king. among these worlds status, the elite military unit, which usually guards the president assigned to watch over his coffin. and then the mourners came thousands, toiling, pulse to pay their last respects. palais had been only present in brazil for so long. it was hard for some to comprehend that he was gone. by the time i passed his coffin, i felt like crying because i news. i know that this is the last time. it's hard to state the importance of play to a country in which the government wants declared him legally. a national treasure is, was the dream rising from childhood, shining shoes to being the embodiment of brazil's hope and joy at a time, dark by military to take to ship abroad to he was fated an idolized as someone who

made the difficult look easy and football fun for speech on the wall, my bedroom was and he was there were presentation and inspiration of the best. and the most beautiful you having football. so for me, it was always my idol from, from very, very early age outside of the stadium, the queue to fall past the coughing, snake back when it so again, and again, celebrity, not sad, after all, play was $82.00 that struggle with cancer for a long time at the lunch matches local bows around the ground. everyone seems to have a story about how they've seen him met him. or do they have, he's told us, she was his nutritionist, and he's fine. you know, once a month i take his measurements, what you would be if he was, well, a real honor, right? i could have never imagined it like so many who, even though his last game was 45 years ago. the videos of many of the exploits

grainy, the stories and the had been passed on young as well as old turning out say good boy. the sun setting now in the village bell, miro stadium, the la sunset that its most famous sun is going to see in this place. people are still filing past his coffin to pay their last respect. her aunt sontols plays arrived was twilight fell. a silent question echoing into the duff's visit there. is there another pele out there? will there either be? john holman, out visitor santo's, brazilian president lose enough, he alluded silva has held meetings with world leaders in his 1st full day and office since being sworn in. know that once brazil, back on the global stage, and that's a different approach to that of his predecessor giant bull sonata, or latin america editor, lucy newman, reports from priscilla, brazil's president wasted no time getting down to business on his 1st day in office

. president lucila has made restoring brazil's leadership role and 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 law. 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. looters present signifies the return of brazil to the international stage. former president jade 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 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 longstanding 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 little 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. 11 percent 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 alluded, 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. to see

a newman al jazeera brazilian, republicans take control of the u. s. house of representatives on tuesday. they narrowly won a majority in november's mid term elections, but they failed to take the senate. the pu showings lead to disagreements at the top of the party article hand 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 razor ryan, man with 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 that is try to obstruct 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, 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. particle haine al jazeera washington still had on al jazeera, a sun that south korea wants to hear a lot more of the extra incentives for baby boom ah, with the risk of more flooding across saudi arabia, how they're good to be with you. here's the forecast on tuesday, so that rain really picking up mecca and medina. i think the bulk of the rain now falling north of jetta where we did see some flooding there. after about a year's worth of rain fell in 12 hours. schools as a result were shut on monday. now, as for us here in dough, i think as

a result we are going to see more cloud cover into the mix. a hive try to decrease those when still a factor as well. guys seem to about 30 or 40 kilometers per hour and you know what the winds have also picked up in southern pakistan. that's going to flush out the fog and smog and slowly, but surely the air quality will improve temperatures while above average, by the way. and ask about the height of 17 degrees, the con pitcher through turkey, a not much to report sunshine in, is stumble at 10 degrees and for the top end of africa, still some showers falling along the coast of egypt. but other than not, not much to report here either. central africa looks like this more wet weather for kenya that includes nairobi as we dipped toward the south, lot of rain falling as southern angola. northern to maybe i'm for south africa's cause zulu to tell province the eastern cape as some showers, so and too far away from durbin with the hiv toys 7 degrees on tuesday. thanks. very company sir. ah

2 years. cobra is an executive analyst at i see cause dot com and a contributor to the website. forbes altos, explaining 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 vehicles because they don't want to, they don't 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 but could be interested. 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 cart home. 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. south korea has one of the lowest fertility rates in the world with birthrates falling for the past 7 years. now the government's boosting childcare support to encourage young people to start families. eunice kept reports from sol. the 1st babies of the year in south korea twins held by their grandmothers and another buy a new father. a welcome sound in a country that has been at a population death cross since 2020. the number of deaths consistently outpacing

cash for additional expenses such as nappies and bottles. but the real help she needs an extra pair of hands is still out of reach that, that kind of service that i really need. because so if i have 2 children, if one is sick, then i need to go to the hospital, but i have to carry my infant 2nd child to go to the hospital with my 1st child. and it will be very difficult because it's not like my husband can be here like 247 . he needs to go out to work. when sociologist says the government has missed the mark, pointing to young people who face low wages and unstable employment prospects which leads to increased competition. and, and brewing distrust between genders. children are a life long commitment and many young ogles. find it difficult to think about being responsible for to one person's life when they're not sure about their future. so furthermore, some yarborough's are constantly exhausted entire as

that. the korean government is missing the most important point. i believe the women need equality more than just a few support on best look at the program of the action of the international conference on, on their population and development cur agents in 1994 conducted by. i'm united nations specifically mentions quote, we further believe that human development cannot be sustained unless women are women are guaranteed equal rights and equal state status with men quote. it has been nearly 29 years since the conference almost to 30 years. and south korea still marked ask the worst country in the we see the nations with the gender age gas for the last 10 years on the last year. for example, financial kinds are so green out data, establishing gender equality is a way more effective rather than cash county in addressing korea low fertility rates on south korea will not be able to use it the lowest for to the rate in the

world unless it rapidly change as feature culture and broken system which treats women as baby factories rather than eat or human beings spoiled to be social to robert. i did you as an interesting point that i just wanted to clarify. you said that this was predominantly one of the causes of the situations, predominantly the gender imbalance that you say exists in south korea. for those of us outside the country, can you, can you, in practical terms present, gives an idea of where that imbalances and why that affects the life of growth population growth in the country. for sure. i me and my friends are mostly we do talk about our system issues that are being discriminated against in the job market for example. and the people really, each jerky and confusion is irma. that refers mill workers. so for example, last years also be conducted by jose unable, which is one of the largest it must be or in south korea. and the job search raffle has had, i'm in o 721 human resources in hiring managers. more than half of the respondents,
