so let's cross over to raul murder, our correspondent band, a reagan a joins as they are from the vatican. a band people are starting to arrive as one can see. ah, tell us what's the mood like? there are the doors of versa. basilica of some peters are open here and the lines are getting longer and longer. during the morning, thousands of people are lining up here. now the queue behind me is quite huge. it's are going around all the colonies of some peter square. there's a security check and then you can enter the, the steps of some peters and get into the church. over the former pope is to lying in state. not in a coffin isn't on an open pedestal, as so that you can be viewed from all sides or under the huge copper law. people can stay there for a few seconds, maybe her to think about

a little prayer or something like that and think about his sir legacy. and to his testament, he wrote actually a letter on the 31st of december asking for forgiveness. and the other can think about his last words on the deathbed. lord, i love you and, and people get out of the basilica and the other side. and the vatican exit is expecting 40 to 50000 people a day now coming here and the lying and said will continue until wednesday night. so what do we know about the funeral arrangements then? learn thursday morning there will be a service. an outside on the piazza of some peter are also 50 or 50000 people. i expect it's open to the public. everybody can come to it's. it's not as humble and as her modest as her the former pope has to wished for and guilt . but her frances will preside over this funeral, which is unique because that has not happened for 800. yet as

a pope is burying actually a pope and ended the burial itself will take place in a very close, very small circle. inside the basilica, the pope will be put into a sacrifice that will be lower to the grotto of fur st. peter's basilica, where 90 popes are already buried, and it's according to the vicious that benedict the sixteen's and has uttered before he died about what's the legacy there. benedict leaves behind. well, people discussing that he has a stand a line. it's a he was a controversial fig. on the one hand, of course he has very and die hard followers. fans, especially from germany, has, hey, he was somebody at that that preserved the church that protected the church from brodie influence. on the other side, there are some critics that they, that for bennett, was not able to handle the scanners around child abuse and the catholic church. well, but he was, of course, a very n e r. thorough sign, a scientist on the,

on the, in the papacy, he wrote many books and, you know, pushed forward the theological studies. and that is his main legacy. he was a professor in on, in the holy c band and he got their reporting from the vatican. thank you very much, back to ukraine, our officials and if say, added frances, a shot down, dozens of russian drones launched at the capital over night, cleaves may of italy clutch cro says the strikes caused heating and power outages in and around the city. kamikaze drones made an iran also targeted energy infrastructure across sovereignty and eastern ukraine. just as moscow had announced, there was no let up in a tax over the new year's holiday weekend on its crossover to ukraine. well correspondent manuel shaws is standing by and kia fair. manuel. ukrainian capital

has come under heavy strokes overnight again. what can you tell us? exactly. it has come under attack again last night. full hours of wait, while ukraine an air defense showed down around 40 iranian made to head jose over to capitol. this has unfortunately become a pattern for the past and 3 nights. we've had 4 large scale attacks here over the capital r n a. it has become, of course, quite exhausting for people here because every night they have to spend hours in the shelter when they do go out to the shelter. explosions could be heard to day in the city center with damages caused to a few buildings. and of course energy infrastructure, which is still being targeted by russia. now as you said, the strikes have caused a pod heating outages. how people coping well it's

so i would say it's difficult or mentally to cope with it. people have become used to as tricare air, read the lads air raid sirens, birds or the explosions of the past few days have been particularly difficult to cope with because they're really hid the cities center or here, not some far away infrastructure. where does know, you know, our residents, for example, and our new year's day or, and myself under team went to a maternity ward because you know, day in day out, babies are still being born in the home. we've met some doctors there. we've met some mothers and we've asked them, you know, how they were coping with that situation. maybe let's have a look. most 2nd year we are here in one of keir speakers 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 blantan, but pregnancy this time. so if you're less newly worse, no 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 older care provided to primitive babies, another danger looms over them. with the threat of me silo dance type, it would be too risky to unplug their monitors and bring them to safety, doing air red alerts. on new year's eve, doctor's still delivered babies, while keith was under heavy shelling of a chair i heard call at the platter to keep of italian could have usually when such air alarms occur for women who were giving birth, i cannot go down to the shelter and water church, we stay with them that they have support elements without the physically with 3 and morally. if essentially 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 neighbour. since the little girl was a little princess to us. there is carrier because oh, just a few minutes after give a verse, somethin who was hit just near i was under some that you for years, something like that. so i, i wasn't so scary because the head, 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 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 we heard these explosions actually nearby uphill to nearby. i was curious, just as simple as that. i was scared. i would help quite a quite nice conclusion of the year fe, like the most present for all the all the hard moments and all the dishes. so 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 and i you spent some time in this maternity ward. what was the mood like there? wiley was a strange because as we've seen into employed a decent maternity award is not as busy as it used to be free war because our millions of ukrainians who fled the country to begin with. so we have less

or less babies been born each day. there are, doctors are there of course are, are staying mothers. they gave birth even doing an air read. and i ran even when they had a, they have miss ice falling really near by. so that's really how you know, that's really something to witness. and that was also something impressive to see is to see the resilience of those people are still, you know, a working in hospitals and of course to their mothers who keepers in such conditions did others, manuel? so as they're in kia, thank you very much emma tom. not of look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. lose enough eula, the silver has been sworn in as brazil's new president and is appointing his new cabinet eula as he is widely known. narrowly defeated his far right rival jubal snarled in october's election run off. it's the left is politicians. 3rd terms
