so the mayor said one person was wounded when debris fell from a drone intercepted by the country's air defence forces. now, it was the second night in a row when the air raid alert sounded here in care. people were told to go to shelters and obviously, they are angry, they are tired of these attacks. he has been frequently targeted in recent days. the mayor said energy facilities were hit. power supplies have been disrupted and we heard from the army earlier today saying that all 39 drones were shot down. there is a rainy and made strange that russia has been using to attack this country. and again, key have coming under attack as russia continues with this strategy. towns across the country away from the

front lines. at least four people have died and several others injured after a helicopter crash on australia's gold coast. two helicopters collided mid—air close to the sea world theme park in queensland, before crash landing on a sandbank. police say initial evidence suggests the crash happened as one helicopter was taking off and the other was landing. gunmen have attacked a prison in northern mexico, killing ten guards and helping at least 2a inmates to escape. at least four prisoners also died in the incident in ciudad juarez. the mexican army has joined efforts to restore security, and locate the fugitives. for the first time in nearly seven years, private vehicles can join cargo crossing the border between colombia and venezuela. the full opening of the shared border follows years of tense diplomatic relations between the two countries, which have eased since president gustavo petro took office in august last year. senior doctors are warning that some a&e departments

are in a "complete state of crisis" because of the extreme pressures facing the nhs this winter. the royal college of emergency medicine says it's impossible to provide the best standard of care — and there's "no doubt" patients are being harmed. its vice—president, doctor ian higginson, said what patients are going through is dreadful. what we're seeing is an amplification of the sort of stuff we've been hearing about for a while now where patients are waiting a long time for ambulances, once they get an ambulance they might be waiting outside our emergency departments for a long time to actually get in our doors and once they finally make it through our are long waits inside our departments to be seen and were having to treat patients in all sorts of unsatisfactory places such as corridors are areas areas that simply amendments to house patients. all this is at a level where most of us have worked in emergency medicine

have never seen before. it's dreadful. and we've chosen our words carefully. it really is a crisis out there at the moment. it really is a crisis out there at the moment. let's talk to our political correspondent, iain watson. this is going to be difficult to hearfrom number ten. there will be a lot of pressure for something to be done about it.— be done about it. yes, well, we hear, of course, _ be done about it. yes, well, we hear, of course, that _ be done about it. yes, well, we hear, of course, that the - be done about it. yes, well, we l hear, of course, that the national health service is a priority for the prime minister rishi sue nike and the government say we are putting resources and try to deal with the problems created by the covid pandemic. 14 billion to help clear that backlog and an increase in bad is trying to get people to accident and emergency is particularly grim because the number of people waiting for more than 12 hours is more than three times higher than it was this time last year and against this backdrop you have action been taken

by many people in the nhs over pay and conditions so, for example, facing four days more strikes between nurses and ambulance crew, in many parts of england and wales, later this month. the government is refusing, at this stage, to talk to them about pay. it says will talk about other issues including morale, equipment, ideas to try to speed the flow of patients to the nhs but the unions are saying that they will only call off that action and they are willing, the government is willing to discuss pay. there have been concerns expressed today about whether an increase below inflation might be a prospect for nhs staff next year as well which could then potentially prolong any industrial action and therefore exacerbate the problem is that people have in accessing health care in the first place and the difficulty, as we heard they are, of course, from

those involved in emergency medicine, that there are problems elsewhere raised by one of the opposition parties, the liberal democrats, for example, but people having care. the local doctor, their local gp. so it is politically very difficult position for the government to be in. they are saying on the pay front, for example, if they were to meet demands to pay staff more than the current rate of inflation not only would that make it difficult to get the inflation rate down in their view but also it would take resources, much—needed resources away from the kind of problems which we've been hearing about from the royal college of emergency medicine.— about from the royal college of emergency medicine. thank you very much. thank you very much. tens of thousands of people are expected to pay their respects to the former pope, benedict the 16th, as he lies in state at the vatican over the next few days. the lying in state ceremony is currently under way inside st peter's basicalla, where the emeritus pope has been laid out in papal mourning robes

in front of the altar of the church, flanked by two swiss guards. he died on saturday at the age of 95 — almost 10 years after resigning as pontiff. elise ann allen is senior correspondent for crux, an independent catholic news website — shejoins us from rome. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us. talk about the ceremony, the procedure and what we can expect over the coming days. good morning. as you mentioned, this will be an event that attracts tens of thousands of people here to the vatican. i've added this morning, benedict, saint peters basilica has been opened, his body is lying in repose, it is lying in state and the basilica is open the faithful to come and pay their respects. so we are seeing hundreds of people flocking to that line to come and say their final goodbyes to the emeritus pope and over the next few days we can expect to see similar images coming out of the vatican and saint peter's basilica but the

retired pope benedict will be lying in state until thursday morning where pope francis will preside over his funeral. so while we're having some of these scenes and we are seeing people flocking to be there, to see the emeritus pope, we are not seeing some of the typical ceremonial aspects of when a reigning pope passes. for example, once benedict passes away there is no ceremonial ringing of the bells are official proclamation from the balcony of the vatican. things are far more simple and solemn. this is a retired pope so were not going to see the massive diplomatic crowds, embassies have not been mobilised to get the diplomatic representations to come. so were going to see a more limited presence but still very significant. limited presence but still very significant-— limited presence but still very siunificant. ~ , , . significant. absolutely. until cost of a little bit _ significant. absolutely. until cost of a little bit about _ significant. absolutely. until cost of a little bit about what - significant. absolutely. until cost of a little bit about what we - significant. absolutely. until cost of a little bit about what we see i significant. absolutely. until cost. of a little bit about what we see as the emeritus pope's legacy in terms

of how he left the catholic church. welcome obviously, one of the biggest thing benedict will be remembered for ace's historic resignation foot of the first pope in 600 years to resign the papacy and the set a new president in history for the catholic church. even in terms of coming up with funeral protocol for an emeritus paper something new in the vatican had to come up with over the last few years so that is something that could set a precedent for future popes. as people are living longer and they are limited, experiencing increased limited physical capacity as they age it opens the door for future popes to say maybe i should also take this decision. i can't govern the church as they wish and maybe it is time for me to step aside, too. so it opens that door and sets new precedent going forward but benedict xvi will be remembered command is already being hailed as one of the most, one of the brightest intellectuals of the late

20th and early 21st centuries. within the church but also culturally. he is considered already just a towering figure and i think his intellectual legacy in terms of, particularly during his papacy, his theological writings on secularism and how faith and reason go together and how faith and reason go together and how faith makes sense even in an increasingly secularised europe, she would say, that is something that you will be continued to be remembered for.— you will be continued to be remembered for. . ~ , ., , . when we look at the emerging markets and developing economies, there the picture is even more dire. why? because on top of everything else, they get hit by high interest rates

and by the appreciation of the dollar. for those economies that have high levels of debt, this is a devastation. let's cross live now to allan von mehren, who's chief analyst at danske bank in copenhagen. we did talk a little bit about what is happening in terms of the world economy butjust is happening in terms of the world economy but just a is happening in terms of the world economy butjust a recap is happening in terms of the world economy but just a recap for viewers who are confused about listening there to the imf chief. they are warning that much of the world will be in the session this year. i mean, how difficult is it going to be for the recovery, for many of the big economies?— the recovery, for many of the big economies? well, i think we have been in a situation _ economies? well, i think we have been in a situation where - economies? well, i think we have been in a situation where there i economies? well, i think we have. been in a situation where there has been in a situation where there has been too much demand in the global

economy and that is why we i see inflation prices be very high and seeing inflation grow up a lot so there is a need to cool down and thatis there is a need to cool down and that is probably why we are getting into a recession. i think it will be fairly mild. and in europe, the us, but clearly emerging markets are also going to be affected so, yeah, things are going to be a little bit more challenging in the coming quarters for sure. we more challenging in the coming quarters for sure.— more challenging in the coming quarters for sure. we were told by the imf that _ quarters for sure. we were told by the imf that even _ quarters for sure. we were told by the imf that even countries - quarters for sure. we were told by the imf that even countries that l quarters for sure. we were told by i the imf that even countries that are not in recession, it would feel like a recession for hundreds of millions of people on the big worry here is the knock—on impact on the developing world because when the european union, when the us, when china have economic difficulties it is the developing world often suffers the most positive reliance on those big economies.- on those big economies. yeah, definitely- _ on those big economies. yeah, definitely. and _ on those big economies. yeah, definitely. and i _ on those big economies. yeah, definitely. and i think- on those big economies. yeah, definitely. and i think the - definitely. and i think the developing world has definitely been suffering also from the global food crisis, the rise in food prices so i do think that, yeah, the biggest

challenge is in the developing world. i think if we look at the developed world, the us, europe, i mean, this recession is probably going to be a little bit different to what we have seen in the past. so if i still we have unemployment been very low. we have a labour shortage still in places so in some way we actually need this recession to ease up actually need this recession to ease up labour shortages and get the economy kind of rebooted and recover from there so i think, yeah, some necessary pain in the coming quarters. i think for the developing countries it will help in china starts to recover. china right now is reopening and clearly in the coming months, it is difficult but once we get to the other side of that we do at least expect a

recovery in china and that should have some benefit also for developing countries in general. lets talk about the labour market because it is often quoted that if you have a strong labour market than often, you know, that can counter anyissues often, you know, that can counter any issues that might pull you further into recession. there is a strong labour market in the uk, for example. to think that is something thatis example. to think that is something that is going to counteract any negative impacts that we are seeing from these economic headwinds? yeah. from these economic headwinds? yeah, i do think from these economic headwinds? yeah, i do think s0- — from these economic headwinds? yeah, i do think s0- at— from these economic headwinds? yeah, i do think so. at the _ from these economic headwinds? yeah, i do think so. at the moment, _ from these economic headwinds? yeah, i do think so. at the moment, in - i do think so. at the moment, in terms of higher inflation, higher prices, the labour demand is quite strong so were not really seeing the usual pain and in some ways, as i said, this recession is a way, may be to ease up prices a bit in the labour market so we can get wheat prices down more and get inflation back on a more sustainable track so, yeah, the economy, but the labour markets are fairly robust and at the

labour market start to weaken more substantially than i think it will be quick to reverse course because then inflation prices are going to cool down and then we can get, you know, some easing and get the recovery back on track.- know, some easing and get the recovery back on track. thank you so much. the headlines. russia has attacked the ukrainian capital, kyiv, overnight with drones, hitting criticial infrastructure. in a separate development, ukraine claims it killed 400 russian soldiers in a missile strike in donetsk on new year's day. a warning over the uk's national health service — senior doctors say some emergency departments are in a "complete state of crisis". tens of thousands of people are expected to pay their respects to the former pope, benedict, as he lies in state at the vatican. sport and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. preparations are currently under way in the brazilian city ahead of the funeral of football legend pele.

status we have not only excluded and we have near 50% of damages in our electrical grid. the key problem here is the system is not able now to cover all the needs of our country that we are using, they are all in black out to save systems the same time to supply our people, to supply ukrainians with electricity evenif supply ukrainians with electricity even if it is like four hours. four hours of grid connection around the country. when we are talking about here which is extremely critical for electricity and moscow regime know very well about this and focus the last three days and that a bit more

than 120 air rockets and drains just after new year which was focused on kyiv energy district and our power grid here but it was not successful because of a defence action and a huge hit. weight makes a what is the situation now in terms of repairing and restoring? how easy is it to do that? it is not easy because we went from one side, we already used all our equipment from our storages, all the equipment raw material which was available. to zero. the support which was provided to us just started and we just received the first part, the first drains but we

need a lot more and now we are working together with many energy companies around the world together with our partnership and governments to obtain more equipment to repair. thank you so much for talking to us. it has been good to have you on the programme. it has been good to have you on the programme-— in brazil, people are preparing to bid a final farewell to the football legend pele. his casket has been transferred from the hospital where he died in sao paulo on thursday, to his adopted hometown of santos. fans from across the world have been mourning the loss of the 82—year—old. tom grundy reports. a country with a new president saluting the man they called their king. at lula da silva's inauguration, brazil's politicians so often bitterly divided, united in remembering a national hero. and in england, players of all nationalities stopped to recognise a pioneer who revolutionised their sport. pele was a black man from a country with a deep history of racism. he became a global icon. at the hospital in sao paolo,

where he died on thursday, fans paid their own tributes. translation: outside - the pitch, he stopped wars. and to me, he will always be the eternal king, as he was the biggest representative of brazilian soccer. translation: to me, pele was a life model because he was a person - who always did what the people need to do to be good people. brazil has observed a three—day period of mourning. new year celebrations were more subdued but tried to capture the moment. bobby smith played alongside pele for new york cosmos in the 1970s, where his kindness and generosity stood out. he was a great team—mate - and he cared about his team—mates. all of us, you know, _ he wasn't just a superstar that, you know, him and carlos alberto or him and beckenbauerjust- had their little clique. pele was like with everybody. but it was on the pitch that pele really made his mark. commentator: pele has an easy

third goal for brazil. _ before messi, ronaldo and maradona, 1,200 career goals and three world cups, he was the original greatest of all time. he never played the ball where . you think he was going to play it. it was so deceptive. that's the big difference i learned from him. - and it made me better prepared to markjohan cruyff _ and george best and eusebio. pele's coffin is being displayed at the home of santos fc. it will stay here for 24 hours before a private family burial. for the footballer that transcended borders and generations, one final stadium to fill. tom grundy, bbc news. before we go, let's take you to the vatican city and st peter's basilica. this is where thousands of roman catholics have begun paying their respects to the emeritus pope
