dozens of russian drones launched at the capital over night. keeps may of italy, cliffs, grocers strikes caused heating, and power outages in and around the city. kamikaze drones made in iran, also targeted energy infrastructure across southern and eastern youth. justice moscow had announced there was no let up in the talks over the new year's holiday weekend. and earlier i asked to w correspondent, emeralds shows for more details on the heavy strokes on the ukrainian capital overnight. exactly. it has come over or under attack again or last night for hours of wait while ukraine an air defense. so down around 40 or iranian, made to head jose over to capitol. this has unfortunately become a pattern for the past 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 to the shelter. explosions could be heard to day in the city center, out with or 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 outage is how people coping well, it's so i would say it's difficult or mentally to cope with it. people had 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. who is because they're really hid the cities center are here, not some far away infrastructure. where does know, you know, our residents, for example, and our new year's day or, and myself and the team went to the 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, but we can easily imagine it's was like less blantan by her pregnancies 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 all day care providers 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, dr. still delivered babies, while keith was under heavy shelling of a chair i heard call at tablets, had to keep of italian. that of usually when such airlines occur of, for women who are giving birth, i cannot go down to the shelter and water church. we stay with them that they have support element or both physically for 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 heed? just near i was under some that you for ear something like that. so i, i wasn't so scared 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 we heard these explosions actually nearby of sultani and by i was karen just as simple as that. i was scared. oh, how quite am quite nice. the conclusion of the year for the most present, for all the all the hard moments and all the dishes, souls just like sola mia liter 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 helpful. and i you spent some time in this maternity ward. what was the mood like? well, it was a strange because as we seen into employed say these maternity award is not as busy as it used to be a free war because our millions of ukrainians who fled to country or 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 red. and i ran even when they had her, they have me size 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. and those people are still, you know, a working in hospitals and of course to their mothers who give birth as conditions

. did a manuel, so as they're in here, thank you very much. m as of look law, and now add some other stories, making headlines around the world today to helicopters have collided mid air in australia's gold coast region. that's a popular tourist attraction. and these 4 people died and several others are in critical condition. authorities say 13 people were on board. these 2 aircraft, the australian transport safety bureau, has launched an investigation, turned guards and for inmates were killed in northern mexico. when gunman tried to storm of prison ensued at wallace. a city on the us border, mexican soldiers and state police have since regained control of the prison. but at least 2 dozen inmates escaped during the attack. the international monetary fund is expecting a 3rd of the world to enter recession this year, predicting it will be,

quote, tougher than the year we leave behind the downward trend as being primarily driven by a slow down in 3 big economies. the us, china, and europe. lewis in asked eula, the silva is appointing his new cabinets after being sworn in for his 3rd term as president of brazil, he narrowly defeated his far right, outgoing leader, j. a ball scenario in last. october's election run off lula has promised to uphold the law and rebuild brazil's economy a new year and a new lead for brazil. as louis ignacio lulu de silva returned to the presidency for a 3rd term in his 1st speech to congress. he pledged to combat deforestation in the amazon and restored trust in the countries ecological credentials. some of his full foggy film we are responsible for most of the

amazon and for vast biomes large aquifers, or to posits oil and clean energy sources. we will address these issues with sovereignty and responsibility. we will share these achievements with humanity in a communal way and never with subordination though. the form a union leader received the presidential sash from representatives of brazilian minority groups. an act normally conducted by the outgoing leader. but jaya boston, i wrote, refuse to perform his last shooting for a visibly emotional lula hood that made his inaugural address to the nation. speaking to the gathered crowds he pledged to govern for all brazilians. much jeremy did is you. i want to address those who voted for other candidates who did

that. i will be the president for 215000000 brazilian men and women. and not just for those who voted for me. vogel, i will govern for every one looking to our bright, common future, doing and not through the rear view mirror with past divisions and intolerance ain't only no ship. following the formalities, lula met foreign leaders and dignitaries, including argentine president, alberto fernandez. king philippe of spain. and the german president, frank, vault a shy maya it was a day of ceremonial pump and celebration. but now lou to faces bulging in tray of rebuilding environmental credibility, tackling soaring gun violence and reuniting

a deeply divided nation some cow. he has a journalist in brazil and he told us what we can expect from a 3rd lula presidency. the 1st priority of the government, as we know, is to basically, and in their own words, to rescue 3000000 brazilians, which are suffering in extreme poverty right now. are suffering with hunger crisis . this 33000000 brazilians right now that you're going hungry. this is the 1st priority of the government. the 2nd median priority of the government is to crack down on environmental crime and deforestation in the amazon region in brazil this, this environmental crime and deforestation got a lot was in recent years, is organized crime groups of consolidated themselves in the region. and then the 3rd priority of the government, you know, the long term priority over the school year is to return brazil,

the signups of growth and prosperity that were seen during the 1st 2 governments. so the difference between now and in 2003, when the. ready brazil is in a much worse situation. economically. there isn't the same commodities boom as there was in early 200-2000 in 2003 especially. and, you know, the public debt of brazil has got worse as well. still, it's expected that the new government will be able to introduce a certain amount of public policies. things are really lacking on his predecessor joy. also, nora, who's in southern florida right now in sort of taking place in the universe in process. and yet it is expected to look will be a difficult government to handle, will be a difficult government. there will be problems. but some of these are very basic kind of targets, like, you know, reducing hungering inequality and cracking down environments from the amazon. these

seem like realistic targets tell us some car they're speaking to us from brazil. now across asia, people are reaching for their smartphones to enter a forbidden world. the world of online gambling, thousands of sites and times plays with promises of easy money, but campaigners are warning that it's never been easier to lose big as well. while online gambling is banned and most of asian authorities are struggling to stamp it out. d, w met up with an indonesian man who plays poker for a living. the moment the carts are dealt, it's when the adrenalin starts to flow, and that is when let's call him roger clock's in for work. although it is strictly legal in indonesia for him playing poker is not just a game. it's a chop. roger therefore wants to stay anonymous. he is one of many indonesians trying to earn a living from online gambling that he would,

and i really loved gambling. all my life. finally, i'm able to play in line, which makes things a lot easier and safer here where you don't even have to leave the house in order to play around. ok, and i will be giving you all of a simple internet. gambling is a growing problem. the nation government says online gambling transactions totaled almost 10630000000 euros in 2022 alone. but while all forms of gambling are banned in the country, cracking down on online gamblers has turned out particularly difficult. yeah, yeah, it is a jerk. got a would love unblocked from 20 and a local to august 2022 who are able to help the government to shut down with well over 500000 a cycle accounts labor to strongly suspected of being related to one i gambling. look, the girl said though, so we been trying to get ahead of the problem. they do require that i'd been

amplitude yet online. but just closing sites or freezing bank accounts doesn't really change much as long as the providers are situated abroad. new sites continually appear. and in indonesia, almost everyone has a mobile phone and an e wallet. so tracing individual gamblers like roger is very hot. on good days he can earn as much as 345 euros a day from online gambling. more than the average monthly income of jakarta residence. but they are not always good days. villa yeah, but we're my and i once played and in a simply lost around 14000 euros in one night. crazy. right. that was a moment when i wanted to inquire and i did. but then only for a week and then it starts playing again. hillary, like the lock downs during the pandemic have caused roger to spend even more time gambling. but no one can predict who will develop an addiction. this clinical

psychologist tells me gambling becomes a problem when it can no longer be controls. carleen is when someone 1st tries, it creates a feeling of pleasure. and that feeling of pleasure releases delta mean for me in a hormone that creates feelings of contracting, happiness and pleasure camera. that's what finally makes people think. and i want to be happy. then i have to keep playing, it turns it to officially cycle can we didn't get sick, luciana. roger, even got his wife into gambling. the fact that they can potentially make money from anywhere, such as on a beach and barley, is particularly appealing to them. but like tens of thousands of other addicts in indonesia, one bed roll the dice, could see their money swept away in the blink of an eye. let's have a look at some more news headlines in brief. north korea state media says the country 2nd most powerful military official after leader kim jong on has been fired

back. john sean was replaced at a meeting of the party central committee last week. the reason for his dismissal is not known, or venezuela and columbia have reopened a bridge linking the to south american countries is march the full reopening of their shared borders. since with storing diplomatic relations last year, columbia new left his president, gustavo petro, as saw to re establish ties with an ass wailer, which were broken off in 2019 under his predecessor frances started screening arrivals from china for cove at 19. it's the 3rd you country of the italy in spain to introduce mandatory tests. in recent days. they say the measures will help it identify any new variance that emerge as china experiences search in cases. well tough organization says it's hopeful that it will be able to officially declare an end to the coven 19 pandemic this year. but it's warning

that there is still a danger of a new more deadly variant emerging. that's a look at where we are. after 3 years of the pandemic since the 1st outbreak in china, the end of 2019 nearly 6700000 people have died of cobit 19. and even now the virus still claims more than 1500 lives every day worldwide. but that's way down on earlier figures. vaccination largely protects people against severe disease, but the w h o says access to effective vaccines is still very unequal. in many parts of the world. covert restrictions have been east, as people learn to live with a virus rather than eliminate it. and here in europe, northern italy was the 1st region to see a rapid spread of corona, virus infections. at the start of the panoramic and followed china's lead and locking down parts of the country, one city in particular, bergamot became

a powerful warning sign to the rest of the world. back in early 2020 the corona various picked the northern italian city of bergman. as the place where it would cost it's dark, his shadow during the 1st wave of infections for a time. bergamot was the world's epicenter of the viruses. deadly outbreak. leading to these haunting scenes, bodies of the dead in army tracks, been transported to crematorium in neighboring regions. inside burger, most hospitals, health work, his battles to keep people alive. i remember the sounds yes. all of a different devices that you were using are of the time we for, for, ah, you know, when we give a lot of gas oxygen to their people. and um, i am also

a kind of smell something with which i remember very well at the height of the crisis. burger, most hospitals did not have enough oxygen and intensive care beds. consuelo localities, 82 year old father, died just days after being admitted. a b i must go bare dolly jane to look out if they luckily nika, were discovered from reading the medical records. the day after he was hospitalized . he was given the steep up ventilation helmets. and unfortunately, at that time, there were not enough dose helmets and doctors who had to choose who could survive and who to lead die in my dead or so for the choice to be accompanied to death in man. there are so little a shame that the us that a companion dog nellum of cove, its wrath on bergman was filled by a slow response by officials to detect the virus and enforced measures to contain. it's spread a population of older adults with underlying conditions and a desperately under resourced health care system that had suffered years of budget

cuts we need were doctors in the territory or for generic purposes and or so small. i asked carol, please you sit in the in the seat in the territory. bergamot won't forget those that were taken away by cove at 19. this memorial is attribute to them, surrounded by a grove of trees, releasing the oxygen so many needed in their final moments. brazil is preparing to bid farewell to one of its most famous sons, footballing legit. hello, died last week at the age of 82. a procession carried his body from south pallet, the stadium in his home town of santos, where he played for much of his career. the stadium will be open for the public to pay their respects before a crowd girl service. on brazil has been observing 3 days of national morning
