presidency. so yeah, i think the 1st thing that we need to do is put together a task force to essentially relieve hunger in brazil at the moment. you have 33 brazilian, 33000000 brazilians who don't have enough to be going hungry. thing that's going to be a clear number one priority will be addressing those people through the creation of public policies. yeah, that would be relieving home, certainly be the 1st priority. the 2nd medium warranty will be coming down on the, for a station and environment through crime in brazil, and was in region. you have like large, powerful, well finance groups of organized crime that's essentially taking control over large weights of brazil's amazon. and so the median term position will be

looking to dismantle those criminal networks and provide not only lower enforcement, but also a more just economy in the amazon region. and then the priority over the long over the full year and the mandate would be to return brazil sustainable will help the level of grove, the growth as seen and job creation as the during the to upload his presidency. well, we should mention that the one with a very narrow margin and there is still quite a bit of mistrust towards him. among many brazilians. why is that? well, lose policy. the work is basil. so did preside over a large economic crisis in brazil, which led essentially to the impeachment of his success, german,

the safety of many countries across the world. the pot, the most successful party, is often always the most hated party as well. right? especially if it's a policy that generally tends to look to make the country more just and more and way it's for everybody to live. right. that's very common phenomena across the world. but yeah, so blue. so there's a lot of mistrust about lou coming from many sectors. louis did spend time in jail, he's, he's a corruption accusations. he's corruption, conviction story was a node by brazil supreme court. but there's a lot of people out in brazil that don't really don't really believe that i think it was just done. well, that's a pain in the way to go to the presidency. so yeah, there is a lot of mistrust about loser in brazil, but yeah, he will be his job to it's it's, it's

a rebuild the country real will be economy. and perhaps some of that mistrust will fall. he left the left, the when he left the presidency in 2010, you have to record high approval ratings. let's see what his approval ratings are when he leaves in 4 years time. if he leaves it. so that was journalist from cali, reporting from south paula. thank you so much. thank you. well, russian has marked the new year with a fresh wave of a tax on ukraine. in cranes defense forces say moscow fired at least 20 cruise missiles. but life goes on even during the most intense and barden int he cranium. doctors have been delivering babies over the festive season. i still don't necessarily 2nd year we are here in one of key is figures maternity ward. but because of the all the hospital is almost empty just before the russian aggression up to 25 babies were born here each day after war starts. we have was delirious

because lots of people left to graham. so we can easily imagine it's was like less blanched by pregnancies this time. so if you're less newly worse now fewer birth and no patients names on a usually full board. but one room is still busy around the clock. the neonatal intensive care unit, despite all their care providing to primitive babies, another danger looms over them. with the threat of me silo 2 ounce type, it would be too risky to unplug their monitors and bring them to safety, doing air red alerts. on new year's eve, dr. still delivered babies while keith was under heavy shelling of a che hair color prepared to keep a retainer that of usually when such air alarms occur of women who were giving birth, i cannot go down to the shelter animals richer. we stay with them that they have support element, although the physically with 3 and morally, if is each night in what i law, we meet alexandra newry,

whose daughter salome i was born during the attack. one me sire fell a few 100 meters away as alexandra was in neighbor. since the little girl was little princess to us, there is carrier because oh, just a few minutes after give a verse. sonton who was here just near i was under sung that if her ear something like that. so i, i wasn't so scary because i had my child, but in general i wasn't dreaming about such therefore my little girl during the night it was also very scary. oh, because yes sir, and was there it alone for a very long time? we have been waiting in the corridor for several hours. and leona also gave birth at the same time to a little boy named live. i was actually in the active face of giving birth already

and i heard these explosions actually nearby. absolutely. and by i was curious just as simple as that. i was scared. oh, how quite a quite nice a conclusion of the year, for the most present for all they are all the hard moments and all the dish is so just like sola mia. lita live came to the world in water, ukraine. but for one moment in the quietness of this key of hospital life did feel a bit more hopeful. dw correspondent in manuel shes filed that report. and i asked her earlier to tell us more about the new parents that she spoke to in that key of maternity ward. whether the parents or the hospital were obviously in even or under even more stress than any

other citizen trying to take shelter from the incoming, me sorry, on the incoming drones attacking kia. imagine you have 1st i mother and you have to take into account that to my be shelves, either any moment birth. what really struck me at this hospital was the resilience of doors or goes her parents, sir, or the inner piece that are, are they die? i encountered this morning when i talked to them, and if you can hear around me, also the resilience of people here i'm hearing as self. yes, squaring the center of key if and key if despite having been attacked 3 times over the past 2 days, was misses with drones where keith remains unbroken. then that's really something a remarkable to witness. he has of course, we've been reporting about the incredibly massive bombardment that ukraine has been suffering at the hands of the russian forces among the wall. how are people coping? where do they get this courage and this resilience to keep going i

would say they don't have a choice. this is they home are they have been under attack since february birds. they are here so they have no choice but to cope with the situation. of course it is very scary. we're in the middle of the night in the middle of the day, whatever you're doing, whether you're sleeping or you're working, you have to run to a shelter and to give you an idea last night or attack or involve the $32.00 drones kamikaze draws that were shot down over a key if these attack lasted for hours. and you know, when you sleep is constantly broken when the threat is constantly over your head. of course, your fear, of course it's completely destroys you a normal way of life, but the people here just decided that they will or you know, fight against that. you sir me down, tito, here is a holly days. it's a new year dak confidence in ukraine's victory. and this is a spirit of resistance or you know,
