a holy site. just days after taking office, opponents condemned the visit as an international provocation and brazil bids a final farewell to its greatest sporting legend, pillar of private burial services taking place in his hometown of santos. following his death last week. ah m. anthony. how welcome to the program. russian military commanders are facing mounting criticism over the deaths of 63 soldiers, killed by a ukrainian missile struck. families have held a vigil in samarra in central russia, the home city of some of the troops. the kremlin took the unusual step up from confirming the debts in the strife. on new years eve, a russian media, commentators who bats the war and ukraine,

se senior officers have failed to learn lessons from previous incidents. there's not much left of this building once used by the russian army and mc keith car. ukrainian horses attacked the site in the russian occupied city after noticing a cluster of my ball thing signals. the russian defense minister confirmed the attack for the 1st time in a long time admitted significant losses was that it was an issue. the 63 russian soldiers were killed as a result of for me, sale strike at a temporary deployment point here. this is one of the relatives and friends of the dead soldiers of a being provided with all the necessary assistance and support it by the author. ukraine reckons the number of casualties is much higher. the ukrainian armed forces estimates that full 100 soldiers lost their lives. but if it federal, on the 31st of december in the settlement of mc, keith k, internet's up to 10 units of enemy military equipment of various types were

destroyed and damaged or within the losses of personnel of the occupy as is still being determined. while you will push nature on sunday night, russia again attacked you crane with a rainy combat, drones ukrainian sources say 41 of the pilot. las aircraft will shut down by anti aircraft missiles mileage. and we have information that russia is planning a prolonged attack using shy drones. it's probably banking on exhaustion, exhausting our actually around to aircraft offense is our energy now, but we actually do everything so that the terrorists fail and their aim as all the others are failed now or? well. yeah, if she each he is, may i be tele? glitched, i said that while there had been some damage to energy infrastructure, no one had been killed or early i asked her correspondent in keep running on to ranko why the kremlin acknowledged these casualties despite routinely withholding such information. well, i presume there could be 2 reasons. one is m e,

they couldn't hide it. there must have been some a witnesses. and the 2nd and more important one, and they pro war russian bloggers, some of them affiliated with the russian government, criticized the russian officials who decided to deploy a russian troops in that school. so the criticism, very, very harsh and you have to understand is bloggers, they are very influential. some of them have up to 1000000 and more subscribers. and, and they also criticized, for example, are the events in september last year in the region of hockey, in north of ukraine, when completely unexpectedly to the russian forces. ukraine started a counter offensive and could take back a lot of territory. that was the time on blockers also criticized the russian army and the result was on what may be one of the reasons why in the russian government decided to change the commander. so they're very influential because they, they're being read and earned by, by the hardcore and supporters of vladimir putin,

russian president and supporters of this war. so it is very important for us and not to lose that support and, and that's why i think there decided to, to be more or less frank and say that yes, we have a problem and doesn't have been killed right separately to that roman ukraine says it's forces have killed and injured around $500.00 ruffin russian soldiers in half sun in the south. what more can you tell us about that struck and there are not much details on that, and it is still unclear what is the proportion because the ukrainian source are so to say that a $500.00 is the number of are killed and injured. and we don't know if there were 100 killed and 400 injured. it's just a figure. so i'm, but you have to understand that we have nearly every day information from the ukraine. an army that, about a 70 or a 100 russian soldiers are being killed. we cannot verify,

verify that information on the other hand, also the russian army general general's every day on the briefings. they say to day is no exception. they say that they killed about 400 ukrainians on different locations. so if you add that up a $130.00, they're 50, they're 80 on another place. so you have figures like 500 or 400. what we hear in cliff cannot verify that information. what's interesting is that we have information from ukrainian sources. there is fighting or to the south or of course on which was liberated last year and fighting for a, for an island in the delta of the new pro eva and it. this is not far away from the place or 2 controller, kiefer and federal got those 22 villages, ukrainian villages under russian occupation at the moment. and this is for me and indicated that the fighting the south of your son is still continuous, thought there is still ukrainian armies still attempting to, to, to attack the russian army there and to liberate even more territories. they doubly

kurt correspondent, roman, gone to ranko and keith, thanks so much. now, arab leaders have condemned the visit by his roused new far right. security minister to one of jerusalem's most hotly contested holy sites. palestinians are angry that a security detail accompanied it. it may have been given into the compound one of the most sensitive sites in jerusalem. this holy complex is known to palestinians as the noble sanctuary and to israelis as the temple mount. competing claims over the shrine represent a major source of conflicts between the 2 sides. one that has often resulted in violence. now tensions arising once more, just days after being sworn in as israel's national security minister. fall right, politician is a mob been given, has visited the site he to the grounds flanked by armed security, a move that has outraged palestinians, the militant islamist group,

hamas recognized as the terrorist organization by the e. u. has threatened repercussions how through this provocative behavior increased, the state of tension brings matters closer to a major explosion and opens a door wide for real escalation, really under a so called status quo arrangement. non muslims are allowed to visit the holy compound on the condition that they do not pray. but the visit of an ultra nationalist, israeli minister is a sensitive matter. god and call came, the security force has think this is a dangerous move. it's not an accident that ministers have avoided visiting for many years, like nestali melissa law. it will be seen by the whole world as break in the state of war, even if it's not, it's an unnecessary risk. then given responded to criticism by lashing out on twitter, saying the site is open to all and warning. hm. us,

that is rails new government will not back down. earlier i asked our correspondent, rebecca, written into his dilemma why this visit has drawn from much condemnation. this is a, as you mentioned, a very new member of the government. he's a himself, a settler. he's from the very right wing extreme parties that may cause the faction that make up the gov of the coalition rather than make up the government. and that is potentially seen as even more of a provocation. just you know who, what he symbolizes. and what he said in the lead up to the election. all the rhetoric. how about how he wants more access to the jews? how he does want to change the status quo to allow jews to be able to pray up there . and so this move today, well, it isn't a technical change to the status quo. we say as a provocation, that as you rightly point out, has been condemned. but inside by the opposition been condemned by the palestinian authority, hamas has come out saying that this activity, any continuation of this activity, would lead to violence. it is the same as

a provocation. its neighbors as well. israel's name is also very upset by this move is ready, ambassador to jordan with summon, addressing down for talking to if you will. this is been seen very seriously by israel advised from rebecca, written in jerusalem. his look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. now, authorities in botswana have issued an arrest warrant for former president in coma . he's currently living in south africa, come, has been charged with a legal position of firearms. he denies the accusation that explains political islands, have introduced free public transport for residence in an effort to produce traffic and pollution. the islands include the popular tourist destinations, majorca and ether. tourists will still have to buy tickets. us republican later kevin mccarthy spicing a challenge from the right wing of his party struggling to gain enough boats to

you really could feel the gratitude in the air. crowds of crowds gathered during the passing of the convoy and they followed it. there was cheering, there was singing, there was clapping, and it was a real party of goosebumps. i would say, because obviously there's a lot of emotion pinned to calais in santos. and during the wake in the stadium, the 24 hour wait over 200000 people are said to have joined. so it's really important for people to say their last good bye to pay their respects. they're proud that today has brought football, made football so big in brazil and a half feet brazil worldwide famous for its put were player. and so that's one thing that he gave to them and you really feel it there. if you, if you ask people they, most of the time told me he's here he is in my heart. and i think that pretty much as a very strong sentence already to say. so he will never be forgotten. and it's very,

very important for them to say good bye. here in santos. the call you described what the hell i meant to the people who sent us. what did that place? and its people made to him or this is where his career started. this is where he was training from an early age on back at the stadium here. and this is basically what made him one of the best football players in the world are his star tier. and his curio are, are basically rooted in santos and football is all around this place. there are lots of football, pat pitches. there are lots of young football players so that you can see in the morning already training i it, my guess is that they also do aspire to be as good as palais and for him as, as all fight kind of always his hometown, his mom, this year the convoy also passed by her house because she physically is not able any more to to get out on the street to join the whole thing. i'm so this is

basically our ground 0 for play, for an icon of football for somebody or golder. as many and more goals as anyone heard of anyone else? briefly, if you couldn't tell such a momentous they already of what comes next. hopefully. oh, billy will have a very, a private funeral in a high rise building. it's a vertical cemetery and he actually is placed there has a view to the stadium so we were always somehow be connected to santos and the stadium and the beginning of his career. hey, deb least nick over is reporting from santos. thanks so much that before we go, don't forget, you can always get t w news on the go. just download our app from google play or from the apple app store that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news. coming up next in d. w. news asia path rates from china and north korea changing the security plans
