president frank vall, to shy maya it was a day of ceremonial, pomp and celebration. but now lead a face is a bulging in tray. of rebuilding environmental credibility, tackling soaring, gung violence, and re uniting a deeply divided nation or some cow. he is a journalist in brazil and he told us what we could expect from lola's 3rd presidency blue. first priority of the lula government, as we know, is to basically, and in their own was to rescue 33000000 brazilians, which are suffering in extreme poverty right now. are suffering with hunger crisis . the 3000000 brazilians right now that's going hungry. this is the 1st priority of diluted government. the 2nd medium priority of balloon government is cracked down

on the environment of crime and deforestation. in the amazon region in brazil, this is environmental crime. and the recitation going to lot was in recent years, organized crime groups consult themselves in the region. and then the 3rd priority of the little government, you know, the long term priority over these 4 years is to return brazil, the sale of the growth and prosperity that was seen during the 1st 2 governments. so the difference between now and in 2003 when the bus to go based is the. ready brazil is in a much worse situation. economically. there isn't the same commodities boom and they was in the, in the 2000 year, 2000 in 2003 especially. and, you know, the public deposition of brazil has got worse as well. still, it's expected that the new government will be able to introduce a certain amount of like public policies. things will really lacking his

predecessors or, or sonora, who's in southern florida right now in sort of taking place in univer ration process. and yeah, it's expected the lulu will, it will be a difficult government to handle, will be a difficult government. there will be problems. but some of these are the very basic kind of targets, like, you know, reducing hungry inequality and cracking down on the environment, grinding the out of the, the seem like realistic targets. i was during the sam curry in brazil. well, air raid sirens have sounded again in ukraine as russia launched another wave of drone attacks against targets including the capitol cave. this comes after ukrainians faced a barrage of missiles over the new year. but life goes on even during the most intense bombardment. ukrainian doctors have been delivering babies over the festive season. most of whom, nationally stripping. here we are here in one of key is figures. maternity ward the

2nd, 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 blantan, but 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 provided to primitive babies, another danger looms over them. with the threat of me silo 2 ounce tie, it would be too risky to unplug their monitors and bring them to safety, doing air, read aloud. on new year's eve, dr. still delivered babies while keith was under heavy selling. ha ha, ha, hair colored prepared to keep of italian. usually when such air alarms occur for

women who were giving birth, i cannot go down to the shelter and wasn't sure we stay with them that they have support elements. what i, physically with 3 and morally, is each night in what i law. we meet alexander a neary, 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 was very scary because oh, just a few minutes after i get averse something. who was he just knew i was under some that you for years, something like that. so i, i wasn't so scary because i had my child, but in general i wasn't dreaming about such day for my little girl during the night. it was also very scary. ah, because s saran was there 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 nearby. i was curious just as simple as that. i was scared. i would help quite a quite nice conclusion of the year. i like the most present for all the. all the hard moments and all the dishes, just like sola mia lee to live, came to the world in a water, new crane. but for one moment in the quietness of this key of hospital life did feel a bit more hopeful. let's take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. at least 9 people have been killed in a stampede during new year celebrations in uganda as capitol compiler. the crush

happened in a shopping mall as people went outside to watch a fireworks display. most of the victims were aged to between 10 and 20. so that france started screening arrivals from china for cove at 19. it's the 3rd ear country after italy and spain to introduce mandatory tests in recent days. they say the measures will help identify any new variance that may emerge as china experiences a search in cases. 10 guards and 4 inmates were killed in northern mexico. when gunman tried to storm a prison into the white. if a city on the us border mexican soldiers and state police have since regained control of the prison, but at least 2 dozen inmates were able to escape during the attack. hope frances has led the vatican's traditional new year mass a day after the death of his predecessor frances praised the former pope benedict

lifetime of service to the catholic church. benedict died at the age of $95.00. he was in poor health and had made few public appearances. pope frances praise for his predecessor thousands listen. as woman pet benedict is remembered. no more to the sheer me go, let us all join together with one heart and one soul and thanking god for the gift of this faithful servant of the gospel and of the church is benedict leaves a complicated legacy. his era was marked by scandals of sexual abuse in the church. that is to send to say he pushed through key changes and how the vatican handled had a fall priests kind of for him hotspots xfinity like no one before him. pope benedict has made it clear every abuse is

a crime and we need structures in the church that deal with these crimes appropriately. but all right. so progressive catholics, benedict beliefs did not reflect the realities of the modern world. i think he's quite conservative, like as a young person, i always found him really conservative. benedict upheld the churches, traditional opposition to homosexuality, contraception and women priests. the sacred a devotion to dot trains rather not disappointed her hoping, heard different catholicism akin city is a healthy city, at least that's what one man in washington dc believes his non profit organization wants to help the u. s. capital cleanup. it's act a key part of the strategy is helping people with employment barriers contribute more to society. it's a frigid winter morning in washington, dc,

but it's time to get to work for nathan harrington. he's an environmentalist and a former teacher. she founded an organization called ward 8 woods, the cleanup public green spaces that should be maintained by the city, but aren't. instead, they become dumping grounds. people used to volunteer to help out until harrington realised that doing work like this without pay with the luxury working for, for it doesn't make sense if you don't already have a source of income. one of the, the best ways to engage people in environmental work is to simultaneously meet that, that need for a, for income. so he got funding from donations in institutions like the department of energy for paid jobs. yeah, he decided to work with a group that has the hardest time finding employment in the u. s. those who have been incarcerated because of that history. they, a lot of employers will not hire than they face a lot of discrimination. um,

so they need, they need a 2nd chance and i so we give them meaningful work to do a living wages and training that will hopefully set them up for careers in that environmental feel. john is part of the word eat with team. she was once in the prison system having graduates of of you, i was incarcerated. now this when i graduated, so, but i came home. no, i've no nathan, all my life. that's because nathan was john's teacher when he was younger. as part of the program, john picks trash clears invasive species head and connects with nature. he says that things like this aren't always taught in schools. john sees a life for himself outside of the city. was the life out there? i'm a go see that? ah, ah no problem, mr. acton, how i actor. i'm again in there. but it's pretty much enough for me. but he carries this experience with and he says, ward eat woods,

opus or add to what it could be. yeah, me your want, the it tarnish, the environmental, i got to say all of them planner on garbage to me is things you find now here, they're not safe. nathan hopes that more programs champion paid jobs for environmental action. if we really think that environmental justice is important and we should care about it enough to expand funds are for people to do it professionally. in the meantime, hearing to believes that word 8 woods can be a start on a path in the right direction. thanks for watching. ah ah, raring to read. ah, everyone who loves books has to go and say.
