hello and welcome to the programme. brazil's new president, the veteran left—wing politician luiz inacio lula da silva, has vowed to make his country a "great environmental power". at his swearing—in ceremony in the capital brasilia, he told congress that he will rebuild the country from — as he put it — the �*terrible ruins�* he has inherited from jair bolsonaro. this is the scene live in the capital brasilia. this is the moment lula received the presidential sash. this isn't the first time he's done it. he was in this position 20 years ago also but he is now back after that long time out of power, and

right now, he is receiving dignitaries from various people coming to the end of the day of ceremony. we've seen him out and about travelling on a very impressive motorcade, and the actual inauguration process itself, and that sash you can see there, the green and yellow sash has a lot of significance which we will come to in a moment. this is something that has been controversially seen. this is the moment he formally received it from a faneuil of people up on stage there —— a panel. traditionally, the sash is given by the outgoing president, but this time, things were different. jair bolsonaro was not present at the ceremony — he's currently in florida in the us. he refused to take part. a big

significant breakfrom he refused to take part. a big significant break from tradition on that. we have been hearing from lula about what his priorities are. translation: 0ur translation: our goal is to achieve zero deforestation and a zero greenhouse gas emissions in the energy masks. —— mix. a little sense of it there. we can get a bit more of a fuller idea. i'm joined now by bbc brazil's camilla mota. good to see you. we'll come back to the sash and the ceremony. i want to focus first on what difference this new president will make. he started talking about his priorities. what messages has he been putting forward? so, lula has just so, lula hasjust given his first speech to the crowd gathered outside

the presidential palace. he spoke for 28 minutes and he became very emotional when talking about how many people are starving in brazil, when he talked about inequality and how he wants to change that. to bridge the gap between men and women in the labour market, to right the wrongs that were made to indigenous people in brazil, so it seems he wants to set a completely different pace from the former president and he has made that very clear in the two speeches he has given. let’s he has made that very clear in the two speeches he has given. let's get to some of the _ two speeches he has given. let's get to some of the pomp _ two speeches he has given. let's get to some of the pomp and _ two speeches he has given. let's get to some of the pomp and pageantry. i to some of the pomp and pageantry. that sash that we're looking at right now, we can see him wearing, the significance of it not being passed on by jair bolsonaro and the fact that this election was so close means it's a difficult task ahead.

definitely. lula won from 50.9% of the votes, so it was a very tight win in october 30. since brazil, 1988, it's a tradition that the former president hands over the presidential sash to the next one, but as you were saying, it wasn't the case at this time. what... this was still a really open question. we did know was going to happen until we saw the panel of people gathered outside the presidential palace, just walking the length with lula and the first lady. he was welcomed by eight people representing the brazilian people. one of them was chief mike coody, a very known indigenous leader. he was nominated for a nobel peace prize in 2020, and the sash itself was headed over to lula by a black woman representing

all the struggle of the brazilian people. since 1a, her motherand grandmother weren't well, so it was an emotional and symbolical time at the whole ceremony.— an emotional and symbolical time at the whole ceremony. really couple of interestin: the whole ceremony. really couple of interesting details. _ the whole ceremony. really couple of interesting details. just _ the whole ceremony. really couple of interesting details. just before - the whole ceremony. really couple of interesting details. just before i - interesting details. just before i let you go, new presidents coming into countries around the world is always significant, but particularly brazil because of what it contains — the amazon and the decisions of a government in brazil, client scientist will tell us is significant for all of us around the globe. significant for all of us around the lobe. , ., significant for all of us around the lobe. ,., ~ ., ., , significant for all of us around the lobe. ~ ., ., , , globe. right, so the amazon is very im ortant globe. right, so the amazon is very important not _ globe. right, so the amazon is very important notjust _ globe. right, so the amazon is very important not just for _ globe. right, so the amazon is very important notjust for brazil, - globe. right, so the amazon is very important notjust for brazil, but. important notjust for brazil, but for the whole world because it's a carbon storage, it's a tropical rain forest that takes carbon dioxide out from the atmosphere and gets it into

the forest, so it's very important on our fight to tackle climate change and to make or try to make the global climate stable. when lula took office in 2003, during his two terms, when brazil was able to decrease the force station if i was 80%, that's hard to pick up —— deforestation. then delma's successor, and with bolsonaro, it just exploded. lula has pledged to change that, so we'll see what happens from now on. camilla, great to talk to yom _ happens from now on. camilla, great to talk to you. thank _ happens from now on. camilla, great to talk to you. thank you _ happens from now on. camilla, great to talk to you. thank you so - happens from now on. camilla, great to talk to you. thank you so much. . to talk to you. thank you so much. we'll be back with you later. pope francis has addressed thousands of people who've gathered at st peter's square in the vatican, a day after the death of benedict xvi. the pope described his predecessor as a faithful servant of the gospel and the church. from monday, the body of the former pontiff will lie in state before his funeral on thursday. here's our religion

editor, aleem maqbool. singing they gathered at a mass for peace, at st peter's basilica. this traditional start to the catholic new year was, of course, overshadowed by the passing of benedict xvi. his successor talked of now entrusting the pope emeritus to the holy mother for his journey to god. later, it was many thousands that poured into st peter's square to see pope francis appear at a balcony and hear a prayer for his predecessor. translation: let us all 'oin together with one heart h and one soul, in thanking god for this faithful servant, of the gospel and the church. the legacy of pope benedict for some is complicated by the way he's viewed to have handled abuse

scandals, particularly when he was archbishop of munich. how do you look back at that now? 0n the one hand, we can say that also pope benedict, just as archbishop of munich, he was not so strong in this, but on the other hand, we must say also as pope, during all his pastoral visits, one meeting was dedicated to persons who suffered by the church, also by sexual abuses. even those who worked with and knew the late pope well acknowledge mistakes were made. but some of those who happened to have been visiting from far afield when the news broke feel honoured to be here now. we did not know that he passed until we actually were here and we saw

the lines, and my wife and i were very blessed because we had the opportunity to see him here and hear the new year's mass many years ago, so it touched us very personally. what are you going to take away from this? how much he meant to everyone, how much he impacted everyone, what did they do for him, seeing people crying and getting emotional, it got me emotional as well. over the coming three days, the pope emeritus will lie in state, for the masses who will want to pay tribute to him, in person. aleem maqbool, bbc news, at the vatican. croatia has become the latest country to adopt the euro as its currency. it has also joined europe's schengen zone, which allows internal travel without border checks. to mark the occasion, the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, has met croatia's prime minister, andrej plenkovic. the two grabbed a coffee in the capital zagreb, and when it came to settling the bill, they paid in euros.

of course. there it is. speaking earlier at a border crossing, von der leyen praised croatia for its "extraordinary successes". two immense achievements for the youngest member state of the european union, and both reached on the very same day. so, indeed, this is a day for the history books. but above all, this is a day ofjoy and pride for the croatian people. it is testimony of your amazing journey, your hard work, and your determination. ukraine's armed forces say they've shot down 45 iranian—made drones fired by russia since new year's eve. the latest bombardment follows a wave of attacks on ukraine cities over the christmas season, including residential areas, which forced tens of thousands of people into shelters. there's been a defiant new year address from president zelensky, with a message of hope for ukraine soldiers.

the bbc�*s 0lga malchevska reports. singing on the front line, these soldiers are celebrating new year's eve in the bunker during a brief moment of calm. this is bakhmut, eastern ukraine, the area that has seen the fiercest fighting. joining them, the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, ex—celebrity world boxing champion. he saw in the new year with the troops, his spokesperson told the bbc. bringing some supplies, a more festive mood and a message for the season. translation: the freedom battalion, bakhmut guys, who defend our - motherland and its territorial integrity, independence and peace of every ukrainian. i will do everything to make the next year, 2023, the year of peace. this christmas tree is in kramatorsk, another city on the eastern front line. a soldier shared the

russian terrorism. that was the reason why - he struck on new year's eve, because he had, like, - 311 days to kill everything. but he can't and he feels that we are stronger- than he thought before. and now he willjust| want to terrorise us. it will not work, though, says mykola and others we spoke to on this new year's day, after another russian attack. ukrainians believe 2023 will bring them victory. 0lga malchevska, bbc news. in the uk, new government figures have been released for the number of people who've arrived in the country by crossing the channel on small boats. just over 115,000 migrants made the crossing during the whole of 2022. the last crossings of the year happened on christmas day, when 90 people made the journey from france in two boats. there's still reported to be a backlog of 100,000 applications from people seeking asylum in the uk. in his new year message,

the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, has described the social care system in the uk as "broken". he says residential homes are "struggling" to deal with rising costs, as well as experiencing a shortage of carers. lambeth palace will release a report on social care later this month. the government says it's providing £7.5 billion to support the sector over the next two years. we know our care system is broken, but it doesn't have to be. we can rise to the challenge of fixing it. that means action from all of us: you, me, families, communities, government. jane dougall has all the sport. hello there. tottenham hotspur missed the chance to move back into the english premier league's top four after losing at home to aston villa. a mistake by goalkeeper hugo lloris allowed emiliano buendia to score. douglas luiz then doubled the lead for unai emery�*s side. it's a valuable win for villa, who move to 12th in the league.

however, the loss puts pressure on tottenham manager antonio conte, his side only have two wins from their last seven. he feels the club have to make new signings in the january transfer window. the club knows very well which is my opinion about the situation, and i continued to repeat that. to win, you create a foundation... last season was a miracle to finish in top form. put important players... this is the process if you want to win. we did a fantasticjob and we worked defensively with very good attitude, bein- defensively with very good attitude, being confident in our game and trying _ being confident in our game and trying to— being confident in our game and trying to keep the moment. they were

vinolas, 6—3,1—6, 6—3 — albert ramos—vinolas, 6-3,1-6, 6-3 - that win giving britain an unassailable lead. evans broke his opponent in his first service game of the deciding set and rallied again after the spaniard hit back to level the set at 2—2. dart and jonny 0'mara also won their doubles match. that's all the sport for now. jane, thanks for that. 2023 has arrived all over the world with the latest new year celebrations taking place across the united states, canada, the caribbean and latin america. in spite of the tough economic times — or maybe because of them — the events have been pretty spectacular. sanchia berg's report does contain flashing images. for 2023, new year celebrations are back around the world. in new york, partygoers in times square relished the moment, thousands squashed together, only a handful wearing masks. in london, thousands filled the banks of the thames, relieved after covid

and a difficult 2022. happy new year, and hopefully this year is better than last year. hopefully. after the year we've had, it is phenomenal. years, years we've had. the year we have had in general, with the cost of living, the inflation, the politics of the country, it's just been upheaval. it's the one time we all come together. this is london... the fireworks welcomed in the new year and marked the losses of the old. i declare before you all, that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service. in edinburgh, the first hogmanay events in three years were sold out across the city, despite rain and freezing temperatures. and in paris, crowds

filled the champs elysees for the fireworks. local media estimated 1 million people came to cheer in 2023. there were smiling crowds, too, in the chinese city of wuhan, where the pandemic began nearly three years ago and where covid is back. the chinese authorities say the situation is under control, but several countries, including the uk, are bringing back covid tests for travellers from china. sanchia berg, bbc news. and thousands of performers have been taking part in a new year's day parade in london. the event saw more than 8,000 entertainers delight the crowds along the route. it was the first full parade for three years and is thought

to have attracted up to half a million spectators. we heard earlier about the latest russian attacks in ukraine. it's almost a year now since russia's partial invasion, and millions of ukrainians are still unable to return home after fleeing the country. among them was a troupe of more than 70 ballet dancers. they are now living and training together at the former royal conservatoire in the dutch capital, the hague. 0ur correspondent kate vandy has been to visit them. moving gracefully around the stage, you wouldn't know these performers had recently fled war. when russia began its invasion of ukraine last year, many feared it would be the end of their careers. svetlana was one of them. i didn't have work and i was trying to find the job, and then i found this place and came here and i start to feel myself really, really good. like, before, i didn't want to do ballet, i was depressed and had no inspiration for life.

svetlana fled ukraine shortly after war broke out, leaving her entire family behind. she thinks all ukrainians have a battlefield now and the stage is hers. i am trying to enjoy the stage and dance and give energy to people, but the most important to help our country to recover, to help ukrainian people, who really need help. in this way, i'm trying to help our country. svetlana is one of more than 70 displaced dancers who make up the united ukrainian ballet, an ngo founded to protect and spread a culture that has been threatened by this conflict. it's a little room, but i love it. fellow dancer, valeria, grateful for the possibility to be living and training here at the hague. translation: the war | is a big tragedy, not only because people are dying, but also for me, and the big tragedy is a lot of talented artist will not

have a chance to realise themselves on stage. to do what they were born for. valeria has just returned from taking swan lake on tour, a ballet by russian composer tchaikovsky. some of the groups' dancers have refused to perform it, while others, like valeria, take it to the stage with new meaning. translation: i express myself| through the dance, my feelings, my spirit of resistance to something i can't necessarily influence, but i have to react to what's happening somehow, a protest dance. and it's clear to see that for all these ballerinas, their dance is no longerjust one of performance — it's now also one of defiance. kate vandy, bbc news, the hague. one of the original members of the pointer sisters, anita pointer, has died aged 7a. the singers were known for hits including "jump" and "automatic" —

both of which won grammys — and "i'm so excited." they won three grammy awards during their career. her publicist said she had cancer and was surrounded by family when she died. just before i go, let's take you back to brazil and these hugely significant events in brazil. there is return of lula da silva, and we have art he heard from him an idea of his priorities. he wants to make the country a great environmental power and to rebuild the country from, as he put it, the terrible ruins he inherited from jair bolsonaro. he decided not to attend

these official events. we'll be keeping right across the events in brazil. i'm lewis vaughanjones on this is bbc news. bye—bye. hello. we've had split weather fortunes across the uk for the first day of the year. northern parts have had quite a cold day, cold enough for some snow on the ground for this weather watcher in shetland earlier on this afternoon. further south it has been milder, i think mild air will win out for much of this week, with some rain at times, but there will be some drier and chillier interludes. tonight, south—east england and east anglia will have some outbreaks of rain. 0ther southern counties of england, along with the channel islands seeing some showers. further north and west, most of the showers will fade. clear skies overhead will allow temperatures to drop, with ice likely to be an issue in northern england, northern ireland and scotland — lows of —8 in the north

of the highlands. even further south, it'll be colder than it was last night, and then into tomorrow, some showers around, particularly the south—east, through the morning, and then some further showers pushing in across western scotland, some of which will be wintry. for many areas, it will be a dry day with lots of sunshine, a fine day for a bank holiday stroll, if a somewhat chillier day in the south. 8—9 degrees, and further north, 4 degrees for belfast, just three for glasgow. into tuesday, we see a change, we see frontal systems pushing in from the atlantic, bringing some outbreaks of rain for a time. there could be some snow, mixing in over high ground in northern england and scotland, but only temporarily, because as these weather systems move through, they will usher in some milder air. it will be windy on tuesday, that wind coming up from the south—west, so temperatures across large parts of england, wales, northern ireland getting to between 10—12 degrees. even for scotland, temperatures beginning to rise. and then into wednesday, well, that weather system swings away eastwards, leaving us with a mix of sunshine and showers,

perhaps some more persistent rain getting into northern ireland once again, but temperatures on wednesday, it is going to be mild again, 13—14 in the south. even further north, ten for belfast, eight there for aberdeen. now, as we look to the end of the week, on thursday, briefly, a ridge of high pressure, but then we see this frontal system pushing in from the west, so that will bring rain for many. perhaps some snow over high ground in the north, but it will be mild for most places. friday does look a bit chillier with a mix of sunny spells and one or two showers.
