this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm maryam moshiri. our top stories: russia launches overnight drone attacks on kyiv, hitting critical infrastructure. the strikes come amid claims ukraine killed hundreds of 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". 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. thousands of roman catholics have begun paying their respects to the pope emeritus, benedict xvi, whose body

is lying in state at the vatican. a warning from the international monetary fund, it says a third of the world will be in recession this year. and a hearse carrying pele�*s coffin has made the journey from sao paulo to santos — where the brazilian football legend will lie in state ahead of his funeral on tuesday. hello and welcome to the programme. ukraine says russia attacked kyiv with waves of explosive drones overnight, targeting critical infrastructure. the military said air defence forces shot down all 39 iranian—made drones. but the mayor of kyiv, vitaly klitschko, said energy facilities were damaged, disrupting power and heating supplies. our correspondent hugo bachega is in the ukrainian capital kyiv and has the latest. 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 that the air raid alert sounded here in kyiv. people were told to go to shelters and obviously, they are angry, they are tired of these attacks. kyiv 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. those iranian—made drones that russia has been using to attack this country. and again, kyiv coming under attack as russia continues with this strategy, attacking cities and towns across the country away from the front lines. we've heard a ukrainian army talking about the fact it says it has killed hundreds of russian soldiers in a rocket attack in the eastern region

of don school on new year's eve — what more do we know about that? the what more do we know about that? tie ukrainian what more do we know about that? tue ukrainian army what more do we know about that? ttj: ukrainian army say they attacked a school that was used as a base by russian forces in an eastern town. the attack happened on new year's eve. what is interesting here is that the local authority in this town, appointed by russian officials, has confirmed that this attack took place. he hasn't confirmed the numbers but he said this attack was carried out by long—range missiles that have been provided by the americans to the ukrainians, and the ukrainians have been using these missiles to target locations away from the front lines. this local official confirmed that this attack has taken place, saying that it was a massive blow. there has been some criticism among

military commentators in russia about the fact that a large number of soldiers were being housed in a facility without a shelter, saying it was an easy target for ukrainian forces in that part of the country. 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. it's pretty dreadful out there for doctors, nurses and other practitioners. importantly, it is dreadfulfor practitioners. importantly, it is dreadful for our patients, i'm afraid. 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 doors there 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. your president talked about these waiting times increasing mortality. talk me through what he said, because he used some quite stark figures, didn't he? he because he used some quite stark figures, didn't he?— figures, didn't he? he did indeed. it is a stark— figures, didn't he? he did indeed. it is a stark picture _ figures, didn't he? he did indeed. it is a stark picture out _ figures, didn't he? he did indeed. it is a stark picture out there. - it is a stark picture out there. there was rock solid evidence and has been for a long time that overcrowding in emergency departments, however you look at it, causes harm to patients, however you measure it or look at it. we also know that for every 82 patients who wait for more than six hours in an emergency department, there was one

associated death. in many emergency departments, we are lucky if we even see a patient within six hours, let alone get them admitted to hospital within that time, and we are seeing patients wait for days and days in all departments, so there was no question at all that the level of harm adrian is speaking about is actually happening now. however we spin it, it is real and actually happening now. we spin it, it is real and actually happening "ow-— spin it, it is real and actually happening now. spin it, it is real and actually hauenina now. ~ ., happening now. we need urgent action on this. happening now. we need urgent action on this- how — happening now. we need urgent action on this. how many _ happening now. we need urgent action on this. how many patients _ happening now. we need urgent action on this. how many patients do - happening now. we need urgent action on this. how many patients do you - on this. how many patients do you think are dying because of what is happening?— think are dying because of what is hauuenin?j . , happening? adrian has come up with the best estimate _ happening? adrian has come up with the best estimate we _ happening? adrian has come up with the best estimate we can, _ happening? adrian has come up with the best estimate we can, based - happening? adrian has come up with the best estimate we can, based on | the best estimate we can, based on the best estimate we can, based on the hard evidence we have and the sort of waiting times. we know thousands of patients are waiting in emergency departments for six, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours, and we have heard of patients recently who have waited forfour of patients recently who have waited for four days, of patients recently who have waited forfour days, never mind of patients recently who have waited for four days, never mind four hours. we can't treat patients in

corridors and car parks. when you see what is happening in those departments, you will be certain that the harm we are describing is happening. that the harm we are describing is ha eninu. ~ ., ., that the harm we are describing is ha enina.~ . ., ,, that the harm we are describing is haueninu. ~ . ., «j happening. what do you think the answer is here? _ happening. what do you think the answer is here? the _ happening. what do you think the answer is here? the first - happening. what do you think the answer is here? the first thing i happening. what do you think the answer is here? the first thing is | answer is here? the first thing is for our political _ answer is here? the first thing is for our political leaders - answer is here? the first thing is for our political leaders and - answer is here? the first thing is for our political leaders and our i for our political leaders and our health service leaders to properly acknowledge that there is a problem. i would really love to see our politicians in our emergency departments, in our gp practices and hospitals, experiencing first hand what it is like there at the moment. the ivory towers are no longer a place to be. we need to see them on the front line. come to a waiting room with me, stand there and explain to the patients why they have to wait so long to see a doctor, why they might be sitting the night on an uncomfortable chair instead of being admitted. spend a shift with the nurses looking after three or four times the patients she should be in a hospital corridor, or 12 hours with a paramedic and the patient in the back of an ambulance

in a car park, and then i think the narrative would start to change and we would start to see the sort of action that is needed. that action is proper planning, not short—term investment, not words, proper long—term investment in the workforce and the nhs itself, along with the social care system. tens of thousands of people are expected to pay their respects to the former pope, benedict xvi, 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. these are live pictures of saint peter's basilica in the vatican city, where thousands of catholics are expected to come to see the pope a's body, which is lying in

mourning. you can see on the left—hand side of the screen the queue of people waiting to file past the body. the funeral will be held on thursday, presided over by the current pope, francis, and after which the emeritus pope's remains will be buried under the basilica. earlier, i spoke to elise and alan, editor of an independent catholic news website, and she told me what will come in the coming days. st peter's basilica has — come in the coming days. st peter's basilica has been _ come in the coming days. st peter's basilica has been open, _ come in the coming days. st peter's basilica has been open, benedict's i basilica has been open, benedict's bodyis basilica has been open, benedict's body is lying in state, and as of this morning, the basilica is open for the faithful to come and pay theirfinal for the faithful to come and pay their final respects. we are already seeing hundreds of people flocking to that line to come and say the final goodbyes to the emeritus pope. over the next few days we can expect to see similar images coming out of the vatican and saint peter's

basilica. pope benedict will be lying in state until thursday morning, when pope francis will preside over his funeral. so, while we are having some of the scenes, and we are seeing people already flocking to be there to see the emeritus pope, we are not seeing some of the typical ceremonial aspects of what a reigning pope passes. there was no ceremonial ringing of the bells or official proclamation from the balcony of the vatican. things are far more simple and solemn. this is a retired pope, so we are not giving to see kind of the massive diplomatic crowds. embassies have not been mobilised to get their diplomatic representations to come, so we are going to see a more limited presence, but still very significant.— more limited presence, but still very significant. absolutely, and talk us through _ very significant. absolutely, and talk us through a _ very significant. absolutely, and talk us through a little _ very significant. absolutely, and talk us through a little bit - very significant. absolutely, and talk us through a little bit about| talk us through a little bit about what we see is the emeritus pope's

legacy, in terms of how he left the catholic church.— catholic church. obviously, one of the biggest _ catholic church. obviously, one of the biggest things _ catholic church. obviously, one of the biggest things that _ catholic church. obviously, one of the biggest things that pope - the biggest things that pope benedict will be remembered for is his historic resignation. he was the first pope in 600 years to resign the papacy, so this has set a new precedent in history for the catholic church, even in terms of coming out with funeral protocol for an emeritus pope, it is something new and something the vatican had to come up with over the last few years. it is something that could set a precedent for future popes, years. it is something that could set a precedent forfuture popes, as people are living longer and the experience increased limited physical capacity as the edge, it could be the decision delete like the moment for the pope to say, i could take this step as well. it opens that door and sets a new precedent. benedict xvi will be remembered and is already being hailed as one of the most, the brightest intellectuals of the late

20th and early 21st century within the church. culturally he was already considered a towering figure. and his intellectual legacy of particularly during his papacy, his theological writings on secularism and how faith and reason go together, and how faith makes sense, even in an increasingly secularised europe. that is something he will continue to be remembered for. the children's commissioner for england, dame rachel de souza, says society isn't doing enough to help those who leave care at 18 when the state is no longer responsible for them. she's calling for the "basic principle of ambition and support" for young people to be put into legislation. the government says there is a £1000 bursary and provision of practical support to help care leavers aged between 16 and 24 to live independently. let's talk more about this with the katharine sacks—jones. she's the ceo of the charity become, which works with young care leavers.

let me ask you what you think about what we have been hearing today. do you believe that those leaving the care system are given enough support to carry on with their lives independently? to carry on with their lives indeendentl ? j , ., ~ independently? absolutely not. we hear from young — independently? absolutely not. we hear from young people _ independently? absolutely not. we hear from young people all - independently? absolutely not. we hear from young people all the - independently? absolutely not. we| hear from young people all the time that they dread their 18th birthday approaching because they know they will be expected overnight to become independent and leave care. when most i8—year—olds are maybe midway through doing their a—levels are thinking about going to university or college, young people leaving care are expected to become independent overnight. that means running a household, paying their bills. sadly, many really struggle with that and we see a disproportionate number of young people leaving care going on to be homeless, not being able to find work, and we have to do better by our young people. we can't expect them to become independent overnight, and we have to properly support them, which means ending the

care cliff and giving young people proper support to make a success of their lives into adult hood. what proper support to make a success of their lives into adult hood.— their lives into adult hood. what do ou think their lives into adult hood. what do you think of — their lives into adult hood. what do you think of what _ their lives into adult hood. what do you think of what the _ their lives into adult hood. what do you think of what the support - their lives into adult hood. what do you think of what the support is - you think of what the support is now? the government says it gives £1000 to young people, that there was support for those between 16 and 24, but you are saying that's not the case, not enough? tt is the case, not enough? it is absolutely _ the case, not enough? it is absolutely not _ the case, not enough? it is absolutely not enough. - the case, not enough? tit 3 absolutely not enough. care leavers get a small bursary to help them set “p get a small bursary to help them set up a home, which varies from area to area, often doesn't meet the basic cost of having to buy furniture, bedding and paying a deposit and so one. and then they are given a bit of support, which again is highly variable, and advice, as they enter adulthood, and it varies massively. the statistics speak for themselves. we are not supporting young people well when so many go on to face homelessness and struggle to find work. and we simply have to do better. this is an amazing group of young people who have huge potential, huge talent and

commitment, and they really want to go on and do things with their lives, and we have to give them proper support to make that a reality for more young people. dangerous user as talked about the principal —— dame d'souza spoke about the ambition principle. we principal -- dame d'souza spoke about the ambition principle. we do need to see — about the ambition principle. we do need to see greater— about the ambition principle. we do need to see greater ambition - about the ambition principle. we do need to see greater ambition for . about the ambition principle. : if need to see greater ambition for our young people to help them be who they want to be into adult hood. ultimately, that will only happen if we give them proper support, and that means ending the care cliff, so that means ending the care cliff, so that when young people turn 18, they are expected to leave care before they are ready. that has to be the starting point, enter the care cliff and give people proper support into aduu and give people proper support into adult hood. ., ., «j ., adult hood. good to talk to you. thank yon _ sport and for a full round up, we head over

to the bbc sport centre. plenty to bring you, including the news that pele's club santos will be the focus of the memorial for the brazilian football legend on monday ahead of his funeral on tuesday. the hearse carrying his coffin set off this morning as fireworks were let off on the streets to accompany him. his body is being taken to the centre of the pitch at the stadium, with the public like taking place a little later. the with the public like taking place a little later. . ., j , , little later. the coffin is placed in the centre _ little later. the coffin is placed in the centre circle _ little later. the coffin is placed in the centre circle and - little later. the coffin is placed in the centre circle and will. little later. the coffin is placed in the centre circle and will be| in the centre circle and will be open to the public for a period we expect of a round 24—hour is. the body has been embalmed so it is there for an open coffin. people can come in and see and there will be huge demand to do that. lots of people have travelled from afar to be part of this process. and then tomorrow, after the break, there will be a procession through the streets of santos, expected to pass by the house where his mother still lives at the age of 100, before

going to the cemetery, which he picked himself. it is a cemetery thatis picked himself. it is a cemetery that is in the guinness book of records, a vertical symmetry that stands tall, and pele will be on the ninth floor with a view of the stadium there at santos that he graced for so long.— stadium there at santos that he graced for so long. novak d'okovic has -la ed graced for so long. novak d'okovic has played his * graced for so long. novak d'okovic has played his first * graced for so long. novak d'okovic has played his first match _ graced for so long. novak djokovic has played his first match in - has played his first match in australia and since being deported from the country early last year. he was warmly received as he began his 2023 season with a doubles defeat at the adelaide international. he will play in the singles on tuesday. djokovic will then attempt to win a tenth australian open title a year after he was sent home on the eve of the tournament for not being vaccinated against covid. the nfl player picture was becoming clear, with the penultimate week of the regular season almost over. two teams clinched to place it in the postseason, including the tampa bay buccaneers, tom brady orchestrating anotherfourth—quarter buccaneers, tom brady orchestrating another fourth—quarter comeback. the box climb the nfc south division

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 david higgins, who's an economist at carraighill research. thanks forjoining us. what do you think about the imf predictions? t think about the imf predictions? i think about the imf predictions? i think they're accurate. i think we are going to see that slow down in the three major pillars of global growth, china, europe and the us, and the reason i'm confident is because it is partly by design. we had inflation last year which was inflation that people began to feel for the first time in many decades, and central banks have been addressing that by raising interest rates. when you raise interest rates, you inevitably slow growth. there is a balancing act to be struck this year. you can't raise rates so much that you cause so much

lack of growth that you end up with major recessions and a spike in unemployment. so for that balancing act is going well. we are steering inflation down. we are also stealing growth down but we haven't had a spike in unemployment, so there was a bit of wait and see what will happen in the middle or later in the year. there could be higher unemployment and that slow growth could come through. it is unemployment and that slow growth could come through.— could come through. it is important to tell viewers _ could come through. it is important to tell viewers that _ could come through. it is important to tell viewers that high _ could come through. it is important to tell viewers that high interest. to tell viewers that high interest rates make borrowing more expensive, so businesses don't invest and expand their businesses, which has an impact. high interest rates are not something we want to see carrying on in 2023. an interesting point that the head of the imf made was talking about how even if there was talking about how even if there was no recession in many countries, it will feel that way.— it will feel that way. yes. now, i also think— it will feel that way. yes. now, i also think that _ it will feel that way. yes. now, i also think that may _ it will feel that way. yes. now, i also think that may end - it will feel that way. yes. now, i also think that may end up - it will feel that way. yes. now, i also think that may end up not l it will feel that way. yes. now, i - also think that may end up not being the case in some places. when growth begins to slow, what first happens

is that instead of companies cutting jobs, they first cut theirjob openings, newjobs. we saw that beginning to happen at the end of last year and it will continue in the early part of this year. thereafter, we will see that up tick in employment, and that is when people will feel it. the central banks driving this, their view is that you have to tick up unemployment a bit to get inflation back down. crucially, they are trying to stop major wage increases coming through. christine lagarde that the imf was warning about this last week, that if we see too much of an increase in wages this year, and that happens when labour markets are pretty tight, then you will only take inflation up even higher. that is the balance everyone is trying to get right. is the balance everyone is trying to net riuht. �* , , is the balance everyone is trying to caetriht. �* , , get right. briefly, is everyone in the same boat? _ get right. briefly, is everyone in the same boat? i _ get right. briefly, is everyone in the same boat? i think- get right. briefly, is everyone in the same boat? i think they - get right. briefly, is everyone in| the same boat? i think they are, get right. briefly, is everyone in - the same boat? i think they are, but i think the same boat? i think they are, but i think where — the same boat? i think they are, but i think where everyone _ the same boat? i think they are, but i think where everyone might - the same boat? i think they are, but

i think where everyone might be - i think where everyone might be kicked off the boat or thrown overboard is if the tick up in employment is to shop and then central banks might need to cut interest rates to try and reverse that. then things get messy because you would only send inflation back up you would only send inflation back up higher again. that was what we saw in the 1970s. the risk is that we repeat that. so far, the same boat, but there are choppy waters ahead. . «j ,. , . ahead. thank you very much indeed, david higgins- _ in brazil, people are preparing to bid a final farewell to the football legend pele. 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 this 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 revolutionized 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 teammate and he cared about his teammates. _ 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.
