transpire after the fact. we later saw buffalo bills managers bringing the equipment inside the locker room which give you an indication that this game was more than likely going to be postponed and delayed due to the nature of what transpired on that field and eventually the nfl made a statement saying that the game had been cancelled due to the nature of what transpired hamlin and his injury that was witnessed by so many. wasn't a surrise witnessed by so many. wasn't a surprise for _ witnessed by so many. wasn't a surprise for you how long it - surprise for you how long it took for the match be suspended? it took for the match be suspended?— took for the match be suspended? it was not surprising. _ suspended? it was not surprising. it - suspended? it was not surprising. it was - suspended? it was not surprising. it was just | surprising. it was just wondering what were they discussing during the duration of the time. you see an injury of the time. you see an injury of that magnitude — we have seen injuries before, somebody suffered a multitude of concussions, at what he has dealt with this tragic but the first thing that came to my mind when i first saw the hamlin reminded me of when i was a young kid and at the start hang 20 hit to three

throws and collapsed on the court and unfortunately is no longer with us. so, those are some of the things that were running through my mind. i am surea lot running through my mind. i am sure a lot of the fans that were witnessing that, a lot of players witnessing that, even though they tried to keep positive thoughts out and praise to him, but also to there has been an update on his condition. according to his marketing manager and friend, jordan rooney, he said, "his vitals are back to normal and they have two sleep to put a breathing tube down his throat. they are currently running tests and they will provide updates as they happen via twitter." this was his marketing manager and brand. so, the next 48—72 hours are going to be critical. they are going to be critical. they are going to be critical. they are going to run the test stop it could be belief that he suffered cardiac arrest, whether that be because of the kit that he suffered on the field or something prior to being determined as they continue to run tests overnight at a local cincinnati hospital.

luke hamilton, thank you very much. we will watch closely for u dates. ., ~ much. we will watch closely for udates. ., ,, ,, russia has made a rare acknowledgement that 63 of its soldiers were killed in a new year's eve attack by ukrainian forces. the strikes were carried out with himars rockets supplied by the us, and destroyed a former school in the donetsk region, where the soldiers are said to have been temporarily deployed. several russian politicians have said commanders must be held to account for allowing such a large number of troops to be concentrated in an unprotected area. in ukraine, the country's armed forces say the strike killed hundreds of russian soldiers, as our correspondent in kyiv hugo bachega reports. in a town in eastern ukraine, rubble and many questions. this used to be a school, apparently turned into a base for russian soldiers. at around midnight on new year's eve, ukraine struck. how many were killed remains unclear. in moscow, the army claimed the attack was carried out with rockets supplied

by the americans, but there was also a rare admission of casualties. translation: as a result | of the strike by four rockets with high explosive warheads against the temporary deployment point, 63 russian servicemen were killed. in russia, military bloggers were furious. they accused the army of failing to hide its troops and of housing them near ammunition stores. one report said the use of mobile phones by soldiers allowed the building to be located. and here in kyiv, there were more conflicting reports. first, the military claimed that 400 russian troops had been killed, but now it says the number is still being investigated. eastern ukraine has seen some of the fiercest battles in recent weeks. the latest ukrainian attack could be one of the deadliest on russian forces since the start of the war. hugo bachega, bbc news, kyiv.

in his nightly video address, president volodymyr zelensky said russia's goal was to exhaust the ukrainian population. translation: we have information that russia | is planning a protracted attack using shahed drones, it is probably banking on exhaustion — exhausting our people, our anti—aircraft defences, our energy. but we have to do everything so the terrorists fail in their aim as all the others have failed. we can now speak to peter zalmayev who's director of the eurasia democracy initiative. he's in kyiv. peter, these himars rockets conflicted a considerable amount of damage. how are they making a difference on the battlefield for ukraine? they are making _ battlefield for ukraine? they are making a _ battlefield for ukraine? they are making a huge _ battlefield for ukraine? tie: are making a huge difference. ever since the uk provided them ukraine has been able to stage

successful attacks and liberate, crucially, the city of. it was used effectively himars rockets to disable the bridge which was used to resupply russian troops in and around kherson by disabling the bridge. ukrainians cut off that simply, bridge. ukrainians cut off that supply, and elsewhere we have seen the same. it is a miracle weapon brought ukrainians and going forward ukrainians have argued that imagine what we would be able to achieve if you gave us a slightly modified version of the himars rockets which have a longer range of 300 kilometres and using them ukrainians could disable things inside the russian territory which are used to house those launches continue to terrorise

ukrainians, including, as you know, on new year's night, as many as a0 irani and made drones were launched against ukraine, as well as missiles. ukrainians argue that they need to be given the ability to strike military targets inside russia. it strike military targets inside russia. , , ., strike military targets inside russia. , ., russia. it is very rare for russia. it is very rare for russia to _ russia. it is very rare for russia to acknowledge i russia. it is very rare for i russia to acknowledge that it's soldiers have been killed in this manner. why do you think they have made this acknowledgement now? they wanted to own the narrative because something of this magnitude is hard to find an already before the russian ministry of defence was able to react to the telegram channelled started and the witch—hunt, the blame considering how port these constructs were housed, they were put in this location with

very thin conditions. they were not kept in the basement as they should have been. munition was stored in the same building and ten armoured vehicles were standing outside the building in plain view while these troops were making new year's calls using their cellphones to their relatives in russia. so, their relatives in russia. so, the ineptitude of this, the russian army has been exposed to all in plain view. it has been quite stunning. and, so, the russian ministry of defence had no choice but to acknowledge this, it if you hear them saying that it was 63, you can easily multiply that by the time is to note the true figure. that by the time is to note the true figure-— true figure. peter, thank you. director of — true figure. peter, thank you. director of the _ true figure. peter, thank you. director of the eurasia - director of the eurasia democracy initiative. in uk people are returning to

they know that we are a captive audience. we do not have any other option therefore despite the issues we are still going to be using that service when it is running and thatjust really is a slap in the face on top of everything else. dispute has been running — of everything else. dispute has been running on _ of everything else. dispute has been running on it _ of everything else. dispute has been running on it since - of everything else. dispute has been running on it since june i been running on it sincejune and involves members of the rmt in and train operators and network rail. union members will walk out for another a8 hours on friday. meanwhile, 2a—hour strike by train drivers at the aslif union will result in widespread disruption. its ability to get about the negotiating table but the table is best. l operators and network rail say they have made their office and apologise to customers for the ongoing disruption. the department for transport that the government was being reasonable and stood ready to facilitate an end to

i mean, he played with leather balls and there were no yellow or red cards, but we do have messi and maradona and ronaldo and johan cruyff and zlatan ibrahimovic because of pele, he made all those guys possible, he made the game improvisational and creative, it used to be a stodgy and boring game and pele changed it, he invented the beautiful game, so if he were to come back today and play in his prime in this game, he would be a very good player but i don't know if he would be the best, but the best we have today are because of pele and what he did changed the game. and what he did to chang the game. time now for the rest of the sport. this is you update from the bbc sport centre. to the english premier league, where brentford beat liverpool 3—i premier league, where brentford beat liverpool 3—1 at home, bringing jurgen klopp's sides four game winning streak to an end and rattling their top four ambitions. liverpool defender

the bbc�*s tim allman reports. ancient, mysterious, and now finally back home. the green coffin predates christ, a brightly painted wooden sarcophagus belonging to an egyptian priest. it's from the country's late dynastic period, which spanned the 7th to the ath century bc, its return a significant source of cultural and national pride. translation: recovering this sarcophagus and bringing it i back to the country is a new step in the success of the foreign ministry to protect egypt's national heritage. it is a reflection of the spirit of cooperation between egypt and the united states. the green coffin has been on quite a journey. it was looted from the abu sir necropolis north of cairo in 2008. smuggled by a global art trafficking network, its first destination was germany, then it was taken to the us, a collector loaning it to a museum in houston in 2013.

and all those air miles have taken quite a toll. translation: a big part of the sarcophagus, i unfortunately, is in bad shape as a result of being smuggled illegally. we plan to take it to the egyptian museum to conduct something like first aid, some meticulous restoration. this is only one of nearly 30,000 smuggled artefacts recovered over the last ten years and there are believed to be many more still out there. the green coffin is back home, but the hunt for egypt's stolen treasure goes on. tim allman, bbc news. let's go back to those scenes in santos, where a people are going to pay their last respects to pele and his former club, santos, continues. people have been camping out overnight to see the footballing legend, with the funeral later on tuesday. you

the morning into the afternoon, temporarily some mountain snow there in scotland. it's not going to be raining all the time. i think the rain will come and go. in fact, there could even be a little bit of brightness to the east of the pennines for a time, but it won't last for very long. temperatures widely into double figures across england, wales and northern ireland, a bit colder there, the other side of the weather front in northern scotland, and then more of the same through the course of tuesday evening and really quite blustery around coasts, a0, maybe even 50mph, and i think most of the rain will fall around south—western and western parts of scotland, perhaps central areas, as well, could be 50mm of rain here, perhaps some local disruption to transport. now, here's wednesday — we are still in the wake of that area of low pressure, a lot of isobars there, and wednesday really will be a very blustery day. here are the gusts in the morning, perhaps in excess of 50mph around some coastal areas, blustery inland, but, again, not raining all the time. on wednesday, we are forecasting sunshine and showers, but the showers will be moving swiftly on, because of that strong wind. and look at the temperatures — 15 in london, my goodness, we are injanuary — 10 degrees expected in glasgow,

and then the rest of the week, just multiple weather systems barrel across the atlantic and head towards us, but it does look as though friday might actually bring some decent weather, sort of a gap in between the weather systems. but look how mild it is in the south, temperatures relatively mild in the north, as well. that's it from me. bye— bye.
