confirming the deaths and the strike on ukrainian missiles on new year's eve. russian crowns gather in somber ceremony in the city of samara to morn, soldiers killed in ukraine. people who lived here are among those who died in a new year's eve bombing in le keep care the kremlin claim. 63 soldiers were killed. but ukraine and critics and russia put the death toll in the hundreds so that we get there to honor the memory of oil did thought years of the special military operations. we get there because it's hard for everyone with when it's hard, we should be together which mr. huge piles of rubble of all that remains from the bombing. now, russian nationalists and some lawmakers,

a demanding punishment for commanders, they say ignored dangers. some reports, claim soldiers were located next to a munitions depot which exploded in the strike. others say people had been able to use the russian mobile phones, giving away their location to ukrainian forces. the strike has not flowed russia's own shelling of ukraine. it's defense ministry, claiming responsibility for fresh attacks and the de needs region. one of them destroyed this ice rank, which local say was operating as a humanitarian warehouse. as a result of 3 hits an ice rink and the center of town was damaged as well as parts of the residential and industrial sector were on the circle, ukrainian, or authorities report that one person was killed and another injured in the strikes

and 20 residential buildings were destroyed, dw corresponded rollin gun to ranko, joins me now from cave roman. what more can you tell us about these russian attacks in the donna's region today? well, so far we have contradictory points from the ukrainian and the russian side, ukrainian side saying that only the as mostly that m a skating rink. it was or ice rink was, was damaged, and one person was, was killed and are not making any details or on other objects that were also hit. and the russian officials are claiming that they destroyed at least 2 of the am homeless or rocket launchers. and those are hammer, socket, launches, were used to, to strike, they and russian barracks and marquis if got on the new year's eve. and the russians also claimed that they destroyed some check military vehicles and ammunition people. so we have contradictory points,

but we cannot verify them. at this stage. there were early reports about more ukrainian casualties in russian unofficial sources, but nor confirmation of that. so far. these attacks in cave, gus still linger. how big is the backlash over them in russia? oh, it's too early to tell, i'm, but the anger is, is very big. so russia is in rage. i would say at least some parts of russia and a russian community that we can follow on the internet in social media. people are very angry with russian commanders hood and decided to deploy and those mobilized in that building to celebrate. and there was similar, similar cases in the pastor was dozens of russian are soldiers, reportedly killed and confirmed by the russian authorities that they were killed there. ah, at this moment it is too early to tell, as i've just said a how huge an impact would that be. but we know that or of those hundreds of

thousands are russians mobilized during the recent months to fight in ukraine. many of them were not eager to go to war, and now they have one grand, less or 2 to go to this warrant to join the russian army. their criticism against or about the russian military leadership has been brewing for quite some time. and it's just grown louder after this and this most of most devastating attack against the russian troops that we know of at least so far. and how dangerous can't this become for? who is war and, and his military operation is special military operation, as he continues to call it it is dangerous. in the longer term, i would say that the russian military leadership, the defense minister, mister chicago, was criticized several times before for the fellers of the russian army or the inability of the russian army to attack key if at the beginning and they,

they had to withdraw from the north they had to withdraw from the south, they lost our regions, like harkey forecasts on so now and again, we're here a criticism of mr. chicago, but vladimir put in the russian president is a very close friend of for mr. chicago. so i don't think that he will be hold respect held responsible for this attack, but on the other hand on there may be lower level. we can maybe see some changes in the russian officers and a lot of fractions and are demanding what they call retaliation. and in the past we've seen, when such attacks happened and done, russia attacked em, ukrainian targets and called it retaliation. so the rage subsided. so things come down. i think it could be this time as well. and ukrainian are expecting a major attack from russia anytime soon. as always, a situation to watch. thank you so much did over your correspondent volunteering

are joining us tonight from keith and the united states. republicans are struggling to impose order on the house of representatives as gaining control in november's mid term elections. the party has failed in its 1st attempt to collect a house speaker in front runner, kevin mccarthy failed to gain enough votes and congress. he's the 1st majority party leader not to win the early ballot in a century. recently, over gone and for war were joined. now by our corresponding carina t, y is falling all best for us from washington carleen. and this is very remarkable as the 1st time in a century that a speaker has not been elected in the 1st round of voting. what does that tell us about the state of the republican party? exactly, any colwell, this shows how incredibly divided the republicans are in congress. and this is again, an unprecedented moment in us. polio takes what we're seeing today has not happened since 1923. we are expecting now more ballads and nominees. peaches,

there are many republican congressmen who are not willing to vote for their normally need for kevin mccarthy that many of their own party, mccarthy would have needed at least $218.00 votes to be the next speaker. and as so far, it is clear that he will not get that majority. we will see if for the next a vote, some republicans can be persuaded. and if they decide to vote for mccarthy in the next round or if they just vote present, which would not be considered an official vote. so again, a situation that can go for several hours. it couldn't even include a break for the republicans and to gather and if they don't agree on voting on mccarthy or on a new nominee, this could take days or even the weeks. and the u. s. congress will be completely gridlocked until they vote for speaker. whoever becomes speaker, there will be a republican majority in the house of representatives, and congress looks on course for a not only gridlock because of the procedural problems that are,

that are emerging now, but also a partisan gridlock. what could that mean for the biden administration? well, as he mentioned, regardless of the speaker, the majority in the house of representatives is helped by republicans. this means that the legislative agenda of the president of the united states will be dead. and regardless of who will be the speaker, the democrats will not be able to pass any big legislations. and they're of course, from a small bipartisan legislation regarding a u. s. domestic politics that might go through and possibly v 8 for ukraine could be one of those bipartisan legislation. but that's not clear yet. let's talk about the, the bigger picture. what will the republicans newfound power in the house mean for the us international allies? not only ukraine well, the m executive, the white house,

is still very close to their allies to their european allies. but still, many of the legislators pushed by congress in the last year have been focus on national economic interests. and this is probably not going to change with the new congress. and regarding the, the war ukraine, the u. s. has been one of the biggest hunters to support ukraine as you know. and they just voted last month for an 8 package of $45000000000.00. but of course, we know that mccarthy said before the midterms, that he's not going to support a blank check for ukraine a while yet citizens are still struggling with the economic situation here in the u . s. but since then, some republicans have soften their stance and seem to be ready to support further aid for ukraine, specially after the very emotional as peach held by president zelinski in congress before christmas. you know you're correspond carleen eci moines, washington. thank you. and here's

a look at some other stories making headlines around the world to day. authorities and working faso are investigating the deaths of at least 20 people in the north western town of known rights activists. blame armed civilians from a pro government militia for the killings. a g hottest insurgency that has displaced nearly 2000000 people since 2015 authorities in botswana have issued an arrest warrant for former president e on comma hayes. currently living in south africa, comma has been charged with illegal possession of firearms. he denies the accusations, it is no time for africa. iran has marked the 3rd anniversary of the death of a top general killed by a drone strike in a rock. the regime has bound to take revenge for the death of cross m soley mani bud. to anti government protesters have said fire to billboards, carrying his picture. arab leaders and the united states have condemned a visit. i israel's new,

far wrong security minister to one of jerusalem's holiest and most controversial sites. temple mount, which is known to palestinians as the noble sanctuary. they say a town mar been greer's present. there is a deliberate provocation just these off to being sworn in as history. national security minister fought right. both edition at the meat been given. hesper visited the site of the temple. mount is the most important piece to the people of history. the template mount is open for every party must have visitors, are coming questions and yes juice to so much in that government. i remembered of did want beauty through them and discrimination and just go to that and been mount . we clarified this for hamas. we do not surrender. we do not go home. he towards the grounds flat, but on security, a move that has outreach palestinians, the militant islamic group, hammers recognized as the interest organization. but the

e. u has threatened depak cushions. i this them. yeah. how does this provocative behavior increase is the state of tension warm in new york or drink matters closer to a major explosion? hopefully hockey and open the door wide, offered a real escalation and who had her them of the one all but when it got worse and did a so called stater sco, arrangement. non muslims that allowed to visit the holy compound on the condition they do not pre. but the 5th it of an ultra nationalist, israeli minister is a sensitive matter colon called the curity forces. think this is a dangerous move. it is not an accident that ministers have avoided with a thing for many years. it will be seen by the whole world as breaking the state. of course he, la garza, even if it's not all, it is an unnecessary with classical new dog. the complex is the most sacred sight to juice, and the 3rd holiest, please from muslims. competing claims over the shrine represent

a meter source of conflict between the 2 sites. one that has often resulted in violence. i asked our correspond rebecca writers and jerusalem. why this visit has drawn so much condemnation. this is a, as you mentioned, a very new member of the government. he's a himself, a settler. he's from a 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 see as a provocation, that as you rightly point out, has been condemned inside by the opposition to being condemned by the palestinian authority. hamas has come out saying that this activity,

any continuation of this activity, would lead to violence. it is being seen as a provocation. it's neighbors as well. israel's name is also very upset by this move is ready, ambassador to jewel with salmon addressing down for talking to if you will, this is being seen very seriously by israel advise for back our readers reporting there. you're watching that we news silicon brazil beds farewell to its most famous sun football legend play is laid to rest in his home town. and 1st, china has begun allowing travel, but not every one is anxious to receive its visitors. the country is finding a surge of corona bars infection, so some countries are imposing restrictions that are making the transition to normal life rather complicated, large crowds at the airports throughout china for 3 years. strict cove at 19

measures have overshadowed people's vacation plans. now the travel wave has begun, but some countries are imposing mandatory testing on travelers arriving from china . that's causing resentment from the chinese government, which is calling it discriminatory. whom she again, we believe that these entry restrictions, which some countries have imposed only on china have nice scientific basis and are completely unacceptable. we object to any attempt to use preventative measures for political purposes. either don't jump to movie. this will affect officially, china has reported only 7 corona virus related deaths in the last 4 weeks. however, emergency rooms and major cities like shanghai are overloaded. people sometimes have to wait days to be admitted to the hospital with a serious coronary infection. medication is also in short supply for nearly 3 years as a preventative measure. china required all people entering the country from abroad

to quarantine. that is due to end on sunday videos on social media show how currently inbound travelers are struggling in vain to avoid having to go into quarantine to germany. now we're the war on ukraine will again, top the political agenda. this here chancellor will have shots, is government has already pushed through relief packages to offset rising energy prices. but it's fair. the economic pinch could undermine public support for berlin's ukraine policies. when spring 23 comes, the 1st big question will be did the german government do enough to get germans through this winter? ok, as chancellor shaw's promised. people do consume more gas and electricity when it's cold. after all. will consumers and companies have been able to cope with a high energy prices and with inflation? and what about energy security? german chancellor will have shows was spent much of his secondary in office trying

to replace russian energy sources just like he did in his 1st year following rushes, large scale invasion of ukraine. but will that come at the detriment of the countries climate goals? which brings me to the 2nd big challenge of 2023 will have shards needs to keep the germans convinced that solidarity with ukraine has to continue for as long as it takes printer, financial aid, humanitarian aids and weapons will continue the support for as long as it is needed for as long as russia doesn't withdraw its troops. that is a december poll showed not even one in 3 east german say germany should show solidarity with ukraine even if that comes with negative consequences, like high energy prices. in west germany, the number was slightly higher, but still not the majority of people. and while we're on that topic, we'll have towards needs to convince international partners that germany is

reliable and can be trusted when it comes to support of ukraine. and that includes modernizing the german army, which is a huge challenge after years of neglect and all after its needs to keep the country united. a foiled qu attempt in december reminded every one how real the threat from right wing extremism is in germany. the most important consequence is that everyone knows that we have a state that can defend itself. we are a democracy that can and itself, which can sworn such violations of law, such planning with its security authorities and can defend itself with full force. then of course, there are the big international challenges. what is russia going to do next? and all of shorts says he wants to put a big focus on the countries of the global south, which are becoming increasingly not just trade, but also strategic partners for germany. that means you'll be doing

a loss of flying to face time with leaders in countries like brazil and india will find out more details once the new national security strategy has been spelt out. and that will happen early on in the year. and that is supposed to be followed by japanese new china strategy. now, some are already bringing the alarm bells because of germany's high dependency on china. germany is an export oriented country, roughly 1000000 jobs depend on trade with china here. so what if tensions rise between china and some of his neighbors? well, that would be pure speculation and let's face it. the german government looks busy enough as it is. ellis, take a quick look at some more headlines from around the world. protesters in bolivia have attacked police during demonstrations against the arrest of a local governor. thousands of supporters have burned vehicles and blocked highways . news camacho was detained for allegedly, being involved in removing the former president abel morales in 2019 and he was

national football player is in critical condition after suffering cardiac arrest during a game de mar. hamlin received medical treatment on the field of were being taken to a hospital the nfl game between the buffalo bills and the cincinnati bengals was suspended . brazil has made an emotional farewell to its most famous son, palais. the star striker was laid to rest in his home city. santos fans queued for hours to pay their respects. the emotions were running high as hundreds of thousands of people have gathered to see the procession of police coffin through this city. the 3 time world cup winner died on thursday at the age of 80 to denver. the world owes a lot to pillay, especially the dignity of a man that was born poor black up in a country way treacherous is still high and played it. not that this affect him. he knew how to be politely shaped the best and the most humble, mitchell, i'm sorry,

said after a few trish. people were standing on rooftops leaning from balconies and packing the roads to get a glimpse of the brazilian icon. the procession came to a halt when it passed the house, where as 100 year old mother celeste, i run to still lives. it's a day of morning, the man brazilians call their king. but for many, it's a moment to celebrate him as well. you politely represent a lot because since i was a kid, i saw him and i was very moved. it's pure emotional to day. my son and we are here at his funeral and you can see that the whole city has stopped to use the whole world. his daughter for the bottle, because a pillow he dental mark that he does is so poorly, arguably, the world's greatest ever player will be lay to rest after the procession in

a private ceremony. and we can now speak to him vagaries and journalists falling all this from rio de janeiro. tim, help us understand the meaning for a play for brazilians. well, he hasn't played for brazil for more than 50 years, but even to die when brazilians travel abroad as an instant association. ah, you're from the country of palais. and it's association with a country that wins with a country that wins in style with a country that wins in style with a smile on its face. he made brazil the country that everyone wants it to be. for a month, every 4 years, when the woke up came round, it's very, very powerful legacy and the outpouring of love we seen there in the report over the past couple of days. it's just been overwhelming. he is an algorithm and santa's where he spent most of his career. how did he shape a club and, and how did the city and the club say? well, that's a great question because there is a global, a national and

a local dimension to the police story. he spent really his entire career that there was little code or at the end in the united states. now some might see this as a shotgun wedding because he wasn't allowed to leave. european clubs wanted him, but he was declared a national treasure or i'm think really he wanted to leave at that time. he could earn as much in south america as he could in europe. there was no big gulf in quality between club football on the both sides of atlantic and brazil at that time only selected players who played in brazil. so i think pele was quite happy to stay . incense us now sent us is a relatively small city where brazilian standards less than half a 1000000, but it has an air of a mini rio de janeiro around, and it's a port city with, with a tropical feel, pele when he came to the city at the age of 15 was a country boy. he'd never seen the sea, but the 1st thing he did when he arrived at census was rushing to the sea and discover that yes, it really is salty. and i think santos played a key role in urban eyes in this country, boy,

in preparing him 1st to take over cents us and then to take over the world. now that will gone white. well pallet's legacy. i think it's a number of things. one is the primacy of football, as the global sports, or the most democratic of all sports, the sports where a former shoe shine boy like pal, i can shine more brightly than anyone else in the history of the game. and in the primacy of football, as a global game, there is the primacy of the world cup. no one did more than polite to establish the world cup. at this moment when we all once had down tools for full weeks and follow the football, the well cup essentially is the house that pele built while the world cup is being played. we remember polite while we see anyone in a number 10 shirts, do something magical. we remember pal, i, in that sense,

pele is immortal. likely 10 degree. thank you. so once i get a lighter at the top story, we're falling for you. well, looks like we're having technical problems here we are. that is what we wanted to show you. families of health vigil for russian troops killed. and one of the biggest strengths of the war in ukraine senior officers are facing mountain criticism over at the depth of $63.00 soldiers killed by bringing with
