this is bbc news — i'm lewis vaughanjones — with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. brazil's lula vows to rebuild democracy and protect the amazon rainforest after being sworn in, once again, as president. after another wave of russian attacks, nato�*s secretary general, says support for ukraine, is long term. pope francis pays tribute to his predecessor, benedict, as a "faithful servant of the gospel and the church". new data shows record numbers of migrants tried to reach the uk across the channel last year and nearly a year into russia's war with ukraine, we hear the story of a troupe of displaced ukrainian dancers unable to return home after fleeing the country.
11:01 pm
hello and welcome. luiz inacio lula da silva, has been sworn in as brazil's new president, 20 years after first becoming the country's leader. almost five years ago — he was sent to jail for corruption, on charges that have since been annulled. he'll now lead a deeply divided country. at his inauguration in the capital brasilia he told the crowds he'd rebuild brazilfrom — what he called — the �*terrible ruins�* he had inherited from jair bolsonaro. our south america correspondent, katy watson now reports. a return to powerfor the man barack obama once called the most popular politician in the world. security was tight amid threats of violence by supporters of his far right predecessor, jair bolsonaro.
11:02 pm
mr bolsanoro didn't even hand over the presidential sash, instead abandoning his final official duty and flying to florida. lula is the same man but he inherits a very different country to the one he left before. in his speech, he promised unity and reconstruction, starting in the amazon. translation: you don't need to cut an trees translation: you don't need to cut any trees down _ translation: you don't need to cut any trees down burning _ translation: you don't need to cut any trees down burning it _ translation: you don't need to cut any trees down burning it are - any trees down burning it are encroach in our environment. an estimated 300,000 people turned up for today's ceremony. a sea of red. supporters stepped out in the color of lula was workers party. many came for the music festival put on by lulu's wife. thousands had traveled across brazil to witness his return. today has been part ceremonial pomp, but there has been a real festival atmosphere here. brazil has gotten through a few
11:03 pm
difficult years, it was hit hard by the pandemic, by political divide. but for these people here, they say this is a new beginning. not him any more. we are fighting in the name of democracy. that's why we are here today. love conquers hate, as the placard says. perhaps somewhat optimistic, because for lulu's critics, he is still a corrupt politician. he should never have been voted back in. you have to convince them that he can be their leader to for the next four years. katy watson, bbc news, brasilia. bbc brazil's camilla mota explains what lula's return means for brazil and the world. right. so, lula hasjust given his first speech to the crowd there, 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 the brazilian inequality and how he wants to change that, to bridge the gap between men and women
11:04 pm
in the labour market, to right the wrongs that were made to indigenous communities and indigenous people in brazil. so it seems i mean, he wants to set a completely different pace from the former president, and he has made that very clear in the two speeches that he gave. indeed. let's get to some of the pomp and pageantry then. that sash that we're looking at right now as we're looking at you, we can see him wearing the significance of it not being passed on by byjair bolsonaro. and the fact that this election was so close means it's a difficult task ahead. definitely lula won. he won from 50.9% of the vote. so it was a very tight win in october 30th. and since brazil, since the democratisation in 1988, it's a tradition that the former president hands over the presidential sash to the next one. but as you were saying,
11:05 pm
it wasn't the case this time. so what happened and this was still a really open question. we didn't know what was going to happen until we saw the images. the panel of people gathered outside the presidential palace just walking the ramp up with lula and the first ladyjonjoe. so he was welcomed by eight people representing the brazilian people. the diversity of the brazilian people, one of them being he's a very known indigenous leader. he was nominated for the nobel peace prize in 2020 and the sash itself was handed over to lula by a black woman, a waste picker. so she represents all the struggle of the brazilian people. she's a waste picker since she's 14 her mother and grandmother were at well. so this was also a very emotional and symbolic time. it's at the whole ceremony
11:06 pm
on this inauguration day. interesting couple of details that you picked out there from that ceremony that's really useful to know. just before i let you go, new presidents coming in to countries around the world. it's always significant, obviously, but particularly brazil, because of what it contains, the amazon and the decisions of a government in brazil, climate science, climate scientists will tell us, is significant for all of us around the globe. right. so the amazon is very important notjust for brazil, but for the whole world because it's a carbon storage, it's a place, it's a tropical rainforest that takes carbon dioxide out from the atmosphere and gets and gets it into the forest. so it's very important on our fight to tackle climate change and to make, a try to make the global climate stable. so when lula took office in 2003, during his two terms, it was the time when brazil was able to decrease deforestation by almost 80%.
11:07 pm
that started to pick up piece by piece with lula's successor, dilma, then dilma successor. and with bolsonaro, it just exploded. and lula has pledged to change that. so we'll see what happens from now on. 0ur our thanks to camilla for talking us through what is going on there. and if you do want more info and look at our website. the secretary—general of nato, jens stoltenberg, says support for ukraine, has to be long term, and mustn't waiver. his comments were made in the wake of russia's latest assault on the country, including an attack on a children's hospital in kherson. ukraine's armed forces say they've shot down dozens of iranian— made drones fired since
11:08 pm
new year's eve, by the russians. there have been more air raid warnings tonight. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega gave us the latest from a bomb shelter in kyiv. this gives you an idea of the reality of millions of ukrainians across the country who have to deal this air raid alerts, day and night, missile attacks, also drone attacks. and ukrainians are tired of these air strikes that have hit places like kyiv, away from the front lines. the army said on sunday that at least 32 of those drones that russia has been using to attack this country were shot down. many here in kyiv. the authorities accused russia of deliberately targeting civilians by launching those attacks as people were celebrating the new year. we heard from the nato chief who defended more military support for ukraine. he said this would force russia to negotiate, but he also said there were no signs that russia wanted to end the war.
11:09 pm
he said, moscow was actually preparing more attacks. this is something we have heard from ukrainian officials in recent weeks. and just days ago, the spy chief told me that russia was preparing another mobilisation of conscripts and an announcement could come as soon as this week. 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 the sixteenth. 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.
11:10 pm
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 to 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 people is complicated by the way he's viewed to have handled abuse scandals, particularly while 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,
11:11 pm
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 were actually here and we saw the lines, and my wife and i were very blessed because we did have 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 experience? how much he meant to everyone, how much he impacted everyone, what did they do for him. seeing people crying
11:12 pm
and getting emotional 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. new figures show record numbers of migrants tried to reach the uk across the channel last year. almost 46 thousand, that's 60 % more than in 2021. the prime minister rishi sunak says legislation will be brought in this year, to tackle illegal immigration. 0ur corresponent, zoe conway, has been looking at the numbers. these figures are preliminary but they show a big increase on the previous year. with a record rise in the numbers crossing in small boats. more than 45,700 migrants across the trailing in small boats last year. in 2021 just over 28,500 made the crossing. government figures released a few weeks ago showed that it is not
11:13 pm
just the number of boats that is going up. it is also the number of people being packed onto them. in 2019, there were on average, 11 people per boat. two years later 28 people were being put onto each boat. by last year, a0 people, on average, were packed into each dinghy. men, women and children desperate to be rescued from a sinking dinghy in december. for parish. four perished. they drowned in the freezing waters. how to stop people making this perilous crossing. refugee charities say it needs to be easier for asylum—seekers to seek refuge. we need more safe routes which will allow people to get to the uk and apply for asylum without having to be exploited by people smugglers. without having to put their lives in danger. but prime minister rishi sunak wants a new law so that if people enter illegally they are then not able
11:14 pm
to remain in the uk. so what are the nationalities of the people getting onto these boats? well, betweenjanuary and september last year the greatest number, that is 35%, came from albania. the next biggest group came from afghanistan. and the other top nationalities were from iran, iraq, and cereal. were from iran, iraq, and sryia. the government says it will use every tool at its disposal to deter illegal migration. and to disrupt the business model of people smugglers. let's bring you some breaking news now 0ut out of ukraine. it is being reported on the reuters new agency. you remember earlier we brought our correspondent in a bombshell in kyiv because air raid sirens have been going on. the threats of strikes.
11:15 pm
and we have just heard from reuters via the mail. the blasts have hit kyiv district and that emergency services are at the site. the last couple of days, there have been attempted strikes from irani and made drones launched by russia. today many people in bomb shelters in kyiv and there has been a strike and it has hit and emergency services are at the scene. we will bring you more details on that as and when we get it. the environmental campaign group, extinction rebellion, says it will temporarily stop using public disruption tactics in its protests in the uk, because — they say — �*very little has changed.�* its activists have gained notoriety for blocking roads, railways and airports. the movement says it now wants to target the seat of power, and hold a demonstration outside the houses of parliament, later this year. in his new year message,
11:16 pm
the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, has described britain�*s social care system as "broken". mr welby — who is head of the anglican christian community worldwide , says care homes are "struggling" to deal with rising costs and he wants everyone to work together to improve the system. 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. a little earlier the ceo of the nhs confederation, matthew taylor, talked us through the issues the uk social care system is facing now. i'm afraid the archbishop is absolutely right. 0ur social care system is broken. we have an estimated 160,000 vacancies in social care. we have tens of thousands of people waiting to be assessed. we have a sector where pay is extremely poor, where the quality
11:17 pm
of care that we can offer people is often very, very limited and not able to offer support to enable people to stay independent. we can only offer support when people have become incredibly fragile and vulnerable, and that is not a happy experience for people receiving care and for their loved ones, but it then has all sorts of knock—on effects. it has a knock—on effect on the health service, where we have over 10,000 patients in hospital who don't need to be in hospital, aand one of the reasons they're in the hospital with often deteriorating hospitals, there isn't social care provision. and there's also impact on the economy because hundreds of thousands of people aren't able to work because either they have health conditions or care responsibilities or care needs that are not being addressed. the archbishop is right. the government has started to put a bit more money into social care
11:18 pm
over the next couple of years, although that's a quid pro quo for delaying the reforms which were going to cap the amount of money people are going to have to pay for care. but after a decade or more of negligence, it's going to take several years to rebuild our social care system. 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 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. 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.
11:19 pm
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. anita pointer, one of the original members of the singing group, the pointer sisters, has died. she was 7a. they had a string of hits in the 70s and 80s, winning several grammy awards. steffan powell, looks back at her life. thanks to a diverse blend of rhythm and blues, funk and soul, the pointer sisters were responsible for songs that are still lighting up dance floors decades after they were first performed. and making an impact on wider
11:20 pm
popular culture, too. it was the 1973 song, yes we can can, with its anita—led vocals calling for togetherness during a time of racial unrest in the us that catapulted the group into the mainstream. originally from oakland in california, anita pointer and her sisters went on to win grammy awards and become prominent features in the american music charts. still performing into her late 60s, anita suffered personal tragedy during her life, losing her only child, jada pointer, to cancer in 2003. the singer went on to raise her granddaughter. she�*s died aged 7a, surrounded by herfamily in california, who said that heaven is a more loving, beautiful place with anita there. and they�*re comforted knowing that she�*s now with her daughter and her sisters, june and bonnie, and at peace. stefan powell, bbc news.
11:21 pm
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 have left the country. among them — a group of more than 70 ballet dancers. they are now living and training together in the netherlands. 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. i think here, 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,
11:22 pm
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 now 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 is 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.
11:23 pm
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. 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
11:24 pm
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've 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,
11:25 pm
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.
11:26 pm
hello there. new year�*s day brought mixed fortunes of weather across the uk once again. and indeed, as we move through the first week of january 2023, it looks like it�*ll stay on the unsettled side for most generally mild, but with spells of wet and windy weather moving in with areas of low pressure. and in between there will be some drier, quieter moments with some sunshine. and in fact, the first, most significant, quieter, drier moment of the week will be for today. bank holiday monday. that ridge of high pressure will be nosing in across the uk, some slightly colder air mixed into it, so it will feel fresher across the board and quite a cold start to come across northern and western parts of the country. watch out for some icy stretches across some northern areas northern ireland, northern england and certainly across scotland where we still
11:27 pm
have some light snow. but through the morning, the showers will tend to clear away from the channel and the south east of england. plenty of sunshine up and down the country, just a few showers for the north and west of scotland. these wintry over the hills, but a chillierfeeling day. in fact, temperatures closer to the seasonal norm, three to nine celsius. so the day ends on a fine note, turns cold under clear skies overnight. but out west, the temperatures will be rising and we�*ll see outbreaks of rain pushing in with this next frontal system. some of the rain will be heavy and be falling as snow over the high ground across scotland as it bumps into that cold air, but not reaching the eastern side of the country until we move further into tuesday morning. so this is the pressure chart then. low pressure pressures taking over through tuesday as the cold air gets pushed out of the way. the mild air returns, as you can see, from the yellow and orange colours there. so initially it�*ll be cold in the north and east of the country with that hill snow maybe down to lower levels for a time, but it will revert back to rain
11:28 pm
as the milder air rushes in across the uk. some of the heaviest the rain will be across southern and western areas. some drier interludes across the east, but milder. you can see temperatures for most back into double figures, well above where we should be for the time of year. that area of low pressure clears through, maybe something a little bit quieter on wednesday. by thursday and friday, more weather fronts pushing in with low pressure, bringing further rain and strong winds at times. so it is unsettled as we push towards the end of the week, generally mild in the south, just hints of something a little bit cooler moving in across all areas by the time we reach friday. see you later.
11:30 pm
this is bbc news, the headlines... leftist leader luiz inacio lula da silva is sworn in as president of brazil, 20 years since he first led the country. he has vowed to make his country a "great environmental power". there have been more air raid warnings in kyiv tonight, after a wave of russian missile strikes on the ukrainian capital on new year�*s day. nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg has said western countries must be prepared to provide long—term support to ukraine. addressing crowds at st peter�*s square, pope francis has described his predecessor, benedict xvi, as "a faithful servant of the gospel and the church". pope benedict died at the age of 95. the environmental campaign group, extinction rebellion,
11:31 pm
says it will temporarily stop using public disruption tactics in its protests in the uk, because they say "very little has changed". hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are senior associate editor at the new statesman, rachel cunliffe, and former conservative pensions minister, baroness ros altmann. wheel site hello to both of you in the moment, but first let�*s look at those actual front pages —— we will say hello. starting with the mirror — which leads with a warning that up to 500 people a week could be dying because of delays in emergency care. the mail says this is alljust part of rishi sunak�*s triple new year headache, along with the channel migrant
11:32 pm
crisis and continuing strikes. the independent focuses on another "overwhelmed" part of the public sector, quoting the head of the crown prosecution service saying victims of crime are being let down by delays in the court system. the telegraph says sunak has shelved his proposed "big bang" childcare reforms to help parents get back to work. and finally, according to the sun, prince harry�*s upcoming memoir spare is expected to further criticise his brother, the prince of wales. plenty of stories for us to look at and get through. good evening, lovely to see you again. let�*s get straight onto the front page of the daily mirror, a pretty grim story and headline, "five hundred deaths a week due to nhs crisis." can you explain this to us? this week due to nhs crisis." can you explain this to us?— explain this to us? this is in a number of — explain this to us? this is in a number of papers _

11:34 pm
