a third of the world will be in recession this year. a very warm welcome to the programme. the ukrainian army says hundreds of russian soldiers were killed in a school being used as a base in the eastern region of donetsk on new year's eve. the facility was hit by ukraine, using rocket supplied by the united states, it is claimed. hugo is in kyiv with the latest. the mayor said one person was wounded when debris fell from a drone intercepted by the

country's and events pulses. it was the second night in the bro —— a rowdy air raid alert sounded. they are angry, tired of these attacks. he had has been frequently targeted in recent days. power supplies had been disrupted. we heard from the army earlier today saying all 39 trains were shot down. those iranians made trans— russia has been using to attack this country. again he had coming under attack as russia continues with this strategy, attacking cities and towns across the country away from the front lines. we have had the ukrainian army talking about the fact it has killed hundreds of russian soldiers in a rocket attack on new year's eve. what more do we know about that? , , . ., .,

were being housed in a facility without a shelter, saying it was an easy target for the ukrainian forces in that part of the country. number of people dying could be higher than usual. but it is undeniable that the nhs is under extreme pressure. 18% more people have turned up to a&e departments in england in the last six weeks compared to the same time last year. 9500 people are in hospital with covid, more than doubled recently. add onto that almost 4000 with flu and it means that i3% of hospital beds are being used for covid and flu patients. and all this comes with more strike action planned by nhs workers this month. catherine burns, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is at westminster. ministers say there are more staff, that they've put in more money. how much pressure is there to do more? they certainly are. of course the unions have been complaining about

staff shortages, about pay in the nhs but the new year has brought new criticisms. we were hearing from some of the professional bodies in the nhs. in addition to that there read these umbrella groups that represent trusts and they are speaking in grim terms as well, talking about the nhs being under an unbearable strain, there are challenges facing the government on virtually every front. 0n capacity, on staffing levels, on morale never mind disputes between the unions and strike action expected later this month. they are in corridors or other areas that simply aren't meant to have patience. the other areas that simply aren't meant to have patience.— to have patience. the royal college of emergency _ to have patience. the royal college of emergency medicine _ to have patience. the royal college of emergency medicine believes - to have patience. the royal college i of emergency medicine believes these delays mean between three and 500 people are dying in the uk every week. nhs england says it doesn't

recognise those figures and that there are different reasons why the number of people dying could be higher than usual, but it's undeniable that the nhs is under extreme pressure. 18% more people have turned up to a&e departments in england compared to the last —— the same time last year. the number of people in hospital with covid has almost doubled recently. add to that almost doubled recently. add to that almost 4000 with flu, another sharp increase, and it means i3% of hospital beds are being used for covid and flu patients. and all this comes with more strike action planned by nhs workers this month. catherine burns, bbc news. i've been speaking with sean linton, the health editor at the sunday times. he has been an investigative health journalist for more than a decade. i health journalist for more than a decade. ~ . ., ., decade. i think what we are hearing at the moment _ decade. i think what we are hearing at the moment from _ decade. i think what we are hearing at the moment from hospitals - decade. i think what we are hearing at the moment from hospitals up i decade. i think what we are hearing i at the moment from hospitals up and down the country are shortages of

portable oxygen cylinders that is a real crisis situation for hospitals. ambulances are very delayed outside a&e departments, and we are hearing both from families who are spending hours in the back of ambulances or in some cases patients waiting 24 hours for a bed on award, there are just long delays all the way through the system, from calling 999 through to getting a bed in a hospital. in some cases, that can take four or five days for some patients we have heard from. there are photographs online of people delete my children sleeping on plastic chairs enhance delete like a&e and family struggling to get information. it is a dire situation. we always hear about winter crises in the nhs but i think this is one of the worst i've seen certainly as a journalist. the seen certainly as a “ournalist. the resident seen certainly as a “ournalist. the president of h seen certainly as a journalist. the president of the royal college of emergency medicine said that between 300 and 500 people are dying a week

because of these delays and problems. were you surprised when you heard him give that figure out? i have to say actually no. the reason is that the situation with ambulance delays outside hospitals and then subsequent delays getting to patients who have dialled 999 in the community, that has been an issue facing the nhs for over 18 months now, and we know from data provided by ambulance trusts that there are over for thousands harm incidents every single month at the moment, due to delays. in all honesty, hundreds of deaths are not a surprise to us. and it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone in senior levels in government or the nhs. this has been a known problem that we haven't done enough to try and resolve yet.— that we haven't done enough to try and resolve yet. having investigated the health service _ and resolve yet. having investigated the health service in _ and resolve yet. having investigated the health service in the _ and resolve yet. having investigated the health service in the uk - and resolve yet. having investigated the health service in the uk for - and resolve yet. having investigated the health service in the uk for as i the health service in the uk for as long as you have, what do you think the answers are and where do they lie? ., . , ~' the answers are and where do they lie? ., ., , ~ , lie? unfortunately, ithink there is not much we _ lie? unfortunately, ithink there is

not much we can _ lie? unfortunately, ithink there is not much we can do _ lie? unfortunately, ithink there is not much we can do immediately i lie? unfortunately, i think there is. not much we can do immediately to solve some of the a&e pressures. we are seeing the result of managed decline of the nhs over the last decade. we haven't kept pace with investment in europe, for example, where if we had done that on a per capita basis, we would have £40 billion a year extra, according to the health foundation. there has not been that longer term investment in staffing, equipment and community services. we have halved the number of district nurses in the last ten years, so there is not that level of support out there for people. social care is a huge area where we just don't have the capacity at the moment to take in more patients, and the population is living longer and more sick, so there are these problems we haven't done enough to get ahead of, so the nhs goes into this window delete make winter as it went into the pandemic, with fewer staff than we need to cope with demand. some of the funding that has

been put into the nhs in the last few years, has been an increase, but it will be more costly now to deal with some these problems because it is sort of like the leaking roof syndrome — if it delete like we had acted sooner, it would have cost less. many of these millions will be spent on patients who have a long—term disability because of delays in their care. these are big problems that will take awhile to turn around, unfortunately. the health editor of the sunday times. catholics have begun paying their respects to the former pope, benedict xvi. his body is lying in state after his death at the weekend. mourners will be able to file past the casket before the on thursday. at dawn, the late pope was moved from the monastery and the vatican, where he died, for the short, solemn, private procession to saint peter's basilica. there, he was

taken through the nave to be placed in front of the altar. 0utside, while the ceremony was taking place, thousands had formed a queue that snaked around saint peter's square. these were among the first allowed in through the doors to pay their respects in person. it is expected around 30,000 people a day will file past the pope emeritus on each of the three days he lies in state. just one of those once—in—a—lifetime moments where you kind of feel quite, more and more emotional as you get closer to viewing the pope's body and you realise the impact he has had, i guess, on everybody, so there was kind of a sombre mood as there was kind of a sombre mood as the walk progressed, i guess. what the walk progressed, i guess. what was that limit _ the walk progressed, i guess. what was that limit like _ the walk progressed, i guess. what was that limit like for _ the walk progressed, i guess. what was that limit like for you when you were paying respect? that was that limit like for you when you were paying respect? that moment, i felt so honoured _ were paying respect? that moment, i felt so honoured because _ were paying respect? that moment, i felt so honoured because pope - felt so honoured because pope benedict was a servant of god. we

theologian who contributed to the advancement, in their view, theologian who contributed to the advancement, in theirview, of theologian who contributed to the advancement, in their view, of the thinking in the catholic church, but also simply as someone who devoted their entire life to catholicism. and so, like i say, there wasn't really that debate about his reputation today. these were really devote ease of pope benedict. a lot of people said that while they studied for their ordination, there wasn't a subject they touched where they didn't discuss what pope benedict a's view on the subject was, he was that important i think for them. was, he was that important i think forthem. certainly was, he was that important i think for them. certainly an incredibly solemn mood, as you heard, for much of the morning, because for those who came today, he meant so much. thank you very much. brazilians have begun to say farewell to the football legend pele is a 24—hour wake gets under way in the stadium

director explained why much of the rest of the world would suffer as well. 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. here's our business presenter tadhg enright with an explanation of the challenge for developing countries in particular. however h owever ba d however bad last year felt because of those rising energy bills, the overarching message from the imf is that the year ahead will be even worse. yes, it faces us all, but while bigger and more developed economies are better able to weather this storm, in emerging, developing economies, which are more volatile and less stable, they are having different consequences from the high

inflation the rest of the world is dealing with. if you look at the world leading economy, the usa, it also is having inflation levels and therefore interest rates of historically high proportions. as a consequence, it makes the us dollar more expensive currency to buy. many things traded out there in the world are traded through dollars, whether it is oil or government debt. it makes it harderfor it is oil or government debt. it makes it harder for emerging it is oil or government debt. it makes it harderfor emerging market economies to boost the spending power to buy things in dollars as well. . ., power to buy things in dollars as well. ., ~ ., ., ., well. talk to me about the impact of the ti . ht well. talk to me about the impact of the tight labour _ well. talk to me about the impact of the tight labour market, _ well. talk to me about the impact of the tight labour market, because i well. talk to me about the impact of the tight labour market, because a l the tight labour market, because a lot of economies have been talking about employment and what impact that has on the economy? aha, about employment and what impact that has on the economy? a curious recession to — that has on the economy? a curious recession to be _ that has on the economy? a curious recession to be heading _ that has on the economy? a curious recession to be heading into - that has on the economy? a curious recession to be heading into if- that has on the economy? a curious recession to be heading into if you | recession to be heading into if you are in a country that is heading into recession. we are experiencing labour shortages right now is an after effect of the pandemic people reappraising what they want from their lives, so unemployment is very low. in the uk, for example. in the

us, it hasn't been so low since the 19605, 3.7% us, it hasn't been so low since the 1960s, 3.7% over there. so even if things get tough, that means you you are less likely to lose yourjob and more likely to find another. there is a flip side, because a tight labour market can be another cause of inflation because if employers have to work harder to get you to work for them, they might have to pay y°u work for them, they might have to pay you more, so that could mean a delay to the anticipated reduction in inflation that is on the horizon and the interest rates that that should bring about. that is another issue to be —— to be concerned about in the year ahead. issue to be -- to be concerned about in the year ahead.— in the year ahead. let's go live now to santos- — in the year ahead. let's go live now to santos. these _ in the year ahead. let's go live now to santos. these are _ in the year ahead. let's go live now to santos. these are live _ in the year ahead. let's go live now to santos. these are live pictures i to santos. these are live pictures from the santos football club. with his back turned to us, there is gianni infantino, the president of fifa. he has arrived, like many before him and many will come after him, to pay his respects. that is the location, of course, of the
