can you just tell us a bit more about today's proceedings and how people are paying their respects to pele? today his coffin came down the hill from san palo overnights to the coastal city of san sauce. it arrived around 4 o'clock in the morning. and even then there were crowds of people there to welcome him. back to santos. the coffin opened, coffin now is in the center circle of the field at st. jo's. the door's been open for some 2 hours. now people can file past pay their respects full of all sorts. he's political authority, sporting authorities there as well in the stands. many bouquets of flowers sent vile o thorough season and celebrities. it will lie for 24 hours. and then to morrow there'll be a funeral procession through the streets of santos. it will pass the house of his mother, who still alive at the age of 100, before moving on to his final resting place. a cemetery. well, there'll be a private funeral for the family and it's

a vertical cemeteries up on the 9th floor, handpicked by pal i with a view of this stadium that he graced for so many years. serrato's rancho as well, or total close at the front has football club stadium. it was a special place for pele. tell us about his time there. well, this story has a global dimension, a national dimension, and also a local dimension that might be easy for the will to overlook. since us by the standards of brazilian cities is small, it's less than half a 1000000 people. pele wasn't born there, but he came there at the age of 15 and he played all of his career in brazil. incense was 18 years for the club, during which time they were probably the best club side in the world. now for a city that small, that's an extraordinary achievement, and it's one that they're very, very proud of. so there's a huge local pride here. it's a local moment, as well as well as one celebrated by the world and the country. we know, of course,

and pele was a hero in brazil, but she was also admired around the world. but his impact and did go even beyond football, didn't it? well, i think it does because we're talking about someone here born just 52 years after brazil, a boy she slavery, a poor black kid, a one time shoe shine boy who ends up through his own talents and determination. and through the democratic nitro football itself is form a shoe show and boy ends up shining more brightly than anyone else in the history of the global gain. his legacy globally is, i think, more than anything else to welcome the house that he built. he did more than anyone else to make the woke up this gripping event that makes us all once a down tools for 4 years every month for a month, every 4 years. his legacy in brazil is making them the country associated with winning. the woke up with winning it in style and with winning it in style with a smile on their face for a month every 4 years, with pele brazil, with

a country that everyone wanted to be. there was journalist, 10 degree reporting from rio. tim, thank you so much and brazil's new president is appointing his new cabinet just a day after being sworn in for his 3rd term in office. louise and angela da silva, narrowly defeated. the ongoing far right leadership here, balls narrow in last october's election run off lula is promising to uphold the law and to rebuild the economy. a new year and a new leader for brazil. as louis ignacio lula da 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 fab is below me. 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 or 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. most jeremy did is 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, we are not through the rear view mirror of past divisions and intolerance ain't galindo's. 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, pomp and celebration. but now luda face is a bulging in tray. of rebuilding environmental credibility, tackling soaring, gung violence, and reuniting

a deeply divided nation. the former po benedict is lying in state and the vatican, tens of thousands of mourners are expected to pay their final respects before been an ex burial. later this week. it will be the 1st paypal funeral in nearly 2 decades for 3 days. mourners will have the chance to say good bye to paul benedict, italian prime minister, georgia maloney among the 1st to do so. the somber mood inside saint peter's basilica disrupted only by the need to document as quote snake to round the vatican, waiting to enter the faithful. coming out. try to sum up the experience. aaron amberlynn, what's your own? it's a beautiful emotion to see the body and even a little transformed by suffering by. but even, and this is the pope give us an example of faith. when i'm with sony,

it's an indescribable emotion. i was in front of the pope's body. i didn't realize that he was right there. yeah, that it was really heavy. i think i'm in there on sunday, poke francis praised benedict during his new year's day prayer. tune jamante sir, me gone. let us all join together with one hot and one soul in thanking god for the gift of this faithful servant of the gospel and of the church. and he is then addict made history in 2013, when he resigned. siting ill health. the 1st point of to do so since the middle ages. he led the church at the height of the clerical child abuse scandal, offering an apology to victims during a visit to australia in 2008. indeed,

i am deeply sorry. was it pain and suffering? so victims haven't you? in his bavarian birthplace, a message to from beyond the grave, a local priest read from benedict spirit shall testimony released posthumously. with this unwavering message. stayed 5th him stand firm in your faith lot do not be confused. hope benedict will be lead to rest on thursday in a funeral. savish that's expected to draw thousands and historic occasion that will mark the end of an extraordinary iraq which saw to pope's living in the vatican. kelly, a correspondent band and he got as at the vatican, and i asked him earlier to describe the scene at st. peter's square, and in st. peter's basilica, the doors to the basilica open there since the early morning. and thousands and

thousands of people are lining up on the sand. peter, a square to get into this enormous huge church, one of the biggest churches in the world. and if you enter, you see this, this whole this renee since architecture marble, gold and m under the copper law, there's the, the body of pope or benedict, lying, not in the coffin, but are on a little pedestrian. and you can, you can see, and actually from all sides, people can stop, say, a little prayer and say their own personal good bye to look benedict. and many did so, and many more expected 40 to 50000 people a day. and amongst the 1st visitors or the president of the italian state child czar, jermarta ally, and also the against my and the private secretary of the pope. and his long time lifelong confidence. one was of course,

a rather unusual situation to have 2 parks living at nevada can at the same time. but now that the former pope has died. what exactly is the procedure for the catholic church? yeah it's, it's new also to the catholic church. how to proceed with this because the for 800 years, not a the pope has not buried the pope and that will happen on thursday. pope francis will oversee that. the proceedings and the service for the late pope and after that, francis will be the only pope again, and the situation goes back to normal a. but the vatican is used to these kind of big events and an assembly. so everybody thinks here that it will boot b, b very smoothly and accordingly to a dignified term procedure or pump francis himself has his share of health problems. would stepping down, be an option for him like it was for po benedicts. yeah, that's

a very interesting question. the vatican vista of a talking about this here because hope friends actually hinted at the possibility that your to mad to step down because of his age and his failing her health's or it's not very likely, but it's not excluded. and then you would have to have the same situation, or pope frances 86 years old and he was, i forgot saying i was only 85 when he resign. did have a banjo, great reporting for us from the vatican band. thank you. let's take a look now and some of the other stories making headlines around the world. thousands gathered in the west bank town of janine for the funerals of 2 palestinians. they were killed and clashes, sparked by the israeli military's demolition of homes in the area. the international monetary fund is expecting a 3rd of the world to tip into recession this year. the fund is protecting

a tougher year than 2022. the downward trend is being driven by a slow down in the us, china and europe. actor, jeremy renner has been seriously injured in a snowplow accident near his home. he's in critical but stable condition. the star is known for his role in the mission impossible franchise, and as the super hero, hawkeye in marble, films rushes defense ministry has confirmed that 63 of its soldiers were killed in a new year's eve attack and ukraine. it happened and the russian occupied domestic region footed shows the aftermath of the strike with a large building reduced to rubble. ukraine's defense ministry earlier said as many as 400 russians were killed by the showing dw correspondent, roman gunshot, and co joins us now from key for more on this. so durham,

and what else can you tell us about this attack on a russian position in my keith co? well, we still don't have much details and, but there are few important things that i would like to mention. first. it looks like it could be one of the biggest successes of the ukranian army in this kind of operation with ukrainian army using the in a high mm. our systems, those high mobility, a rocket launchers that the united states provided are in somewhat 21 and 22. and 2, to strike the russian forces a to, to, to do us kind of a pin point strikes. are we are, they know where, where are there are the flat russian soldiers and it was exactly vague like this. we've seen some kind of similar text before. and, but the numbers are, are much higher this time. what could be much higher this time? the russian saying that there are 663 casualties, the ukraine, and sent about 400. there are, there is at least one indicator,

speaking that the number of casualties is, is higher than the russian army admits. and this is the very harsh and critical reaction by some of russian bloggers in social media are. they reacted and criticized the russian army for not for, for very bad organization. and they were risking a punishment for that because it is not prohibited in russia to criticize the army . and for me, it is clear sign that something very big has happened. and we've seen just a few days ago, a similar attack in the city of than ask where am a former russian government official admitted gazande was wondered as he was celebrating. so ukraine uses the time when the russian soldiers are celebrating or russian of phil shells are celebrating. they feel kind of safe. and then ukraine conduct a such a very pinpointed strike. and this could be, in my opinion, one of the biggest successes as i've just said, for the ukranian army. there are also numerous strikes. i'm here by the russian

military. there is a strikes that cause power and heating outages. roman, can you give us an update on the situation in the cranium capital after another night of these attacks? m. yes, m some here in queue of say that russia may be, are using some kind of a new tactics with. i am drawn strikes nearly every day or every night i would say, because mostly their techs are come at night and earn some expect that may be the russian army is trying to test the ukraine, an air defense, which is a rather good or has become rather goods or since the west has supplied a modern am modern systems including german, i, rusty, so ukrainians managed to shut down some 2 thirds, or in some cases, 3 fourths of the russian drones. and some observers, he and he of believe may be russians will use more missiles in the coming days when

maybe they expect that ukrainian grenze will have a less rockets or should them down at the situation with energy is relatively stable. there are their work cuz some of power shortages here in key of but in general, people are remain very resilient. they say they, they seem to take things as they come. or they are preparing for the an orthodox christmas in the coming days. are you still here? he is, is he here music and, and people are in a joly mod, it was a sunny day here. and the winter is, has been rather warm. we have temperatures in ukraine, above 10 degrees celsius. so it's, it's not such a huge problem, or at least in these days or during the her. now the 1st days of this year, they got these roman going to rank are reporting from here from and thank you so much. or despite their relentless bombardment, the near holiday has brought good news to some of ukraine's young families. dw is

emmanuel. shes spent time at a key of maternity ward that still delivering babies. most of them mostly shipping . here we are here in one of key is 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 with her was delirious. because lots of people left to graham's. but we can easily imagine it's was slight less blanched by her 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 tide, 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 che hair color prepared to keep a retainer that of usually when such air alarms occur for 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 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 neighbor since the little girl. this little princess was there is karen because o, 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 we had these exclusions actually nearby. absolutely. and i was curious just as simple as that. i was scared. hell, quite a quite nice conclusion of the year for 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. german defense minister christina lamb christ has ignited a political controversy with a new your video message on her personal instagram account in it. she says the war in ukraine has brought her fascinating experiences and meetings with wonderful people. her tone sparked as social media uproar, as well as calls for her to resign. ministry says the video is the minister's personal matter. and lambaste was speaking against a background of new year's celebrations, and berlin was raging in the middle of europe. for me, this meant that i gathered many special impression. there are many encounters with interesting and wonderful people. for this, i wish to express my heartfelt thought that was a video message from germany's defense minister christine alam. grace, and i asked the w political correspondent, hans, but aunt,

how this video has been received, the reaction has been huge. there's been a huge wave of reaction, especially in social media ranging from this belief to derision to anger and many, many calls for the minister to do to resign or to be fired and factor in the media, but also from opposition. politicians, of course, a was also been interesting is that there has been very little reaction officially from the government. the government itself has said it does not want to comment on this. no one has rushed to the defense of the defense minister from her own party. there's been a deafening silence from her political allies. so all in all, i think one can say she's really and caused quite a lot of dismay with this video. well, hands, we should also mention that this is not the 1st time that the defense minister has been mired in controversy. what else has she been criticized for?

well, one of the things, sir, that caused a lot of for a public discussion was some months ago when she took her adult son long on an official trip in the government helicopter. she said she paid for that trip. everything was above board, but it was regarded as a very strange and unusual and 4th step. basically, for the defense minister, there would have been several statements by her about weapons deliveries to ukraine, which have been regarded as inappropriate or, and not sensitive enough to the needs of ukraine or to the feelings in ukraine. and of course, she is defense minister at a time when a german defense system and the nato defense system, the european defense system is under a lot of strain. so she is playing a central role in all of this and has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. under these circumstances, the way she has been operating in recent months has really not just strengthened

her position. it does seem that it is quite tenuous at the moment when he mentioned arms deliveries to ukraine. so what can you expect in terms of weapons deliveries in the coming months from germany? the 1st answer to that is more of the same and that's actually a good thing because things do get, gets destroyed, ammunition gets used. and so more ammunition, more trucks or more defense systems, air defense systems and so on. all of that, including things like sleeping bags, helmets, or winter gear. and so, and that's all important. but the big question is whether really sophisticated systems will be delivered to ukraine and there germany has been very reticent. the main question is around a major battle tanks, but also air defense systems. i think germany will only step ahead and deliver these systems if this is done together with nato, and there is some discussion within nato. the nato general secretary is pushing for

that to happen. if they to decide to do that, then germany will pull along. you can you political, corresponding hands, brant hands, thank you so much. you're watching the w news coming to from berlin or remind her now of our top stories. brazil is bidding farewell to one of its most famous sons. football legend pele died, aged $82.00 of cancer fans had begun filing into the stadium and his hometown of santos, the public, have a day to pay their respects before a private burial service. the former pope benedict is lying in state at the vatican before his funeral. benedict became the 1st pope in modern times to voluntarily resign. he died at the age of $95.00 after a long illness. don't forget you can always get d w. news on the go, just download our app from google play or from the apple app store. that'll give
