supporters that he would "reunite society and govern for everyone". 0ur south america correspondent, katy watson, reports. a return to powerfor the man barack 0bama once called the most popular politician in the world. security was tight amid threats of violence by supporters of his far—right predecessor, jair bolsonaro. with mr bolsonaro preferring a trip to florida over attending the ceremony, lula was instead accompanied by civil society as well as the presidential dog. it was a litter picker who had the honour of passing him the presidential sash. lula is the same man but he inherits a very different country to the one he led before. in his speech, he promised unity and reconstruction, starting in the amazon. translation: we don't need to out any trees down, - just plant millions of hectares, so people can live without destroying the forest,

burning it, or encroaching on our environment. an estimated 300,000 people turned up for today's ceremony. a sea of red. supporters decked out in the colour of lula's workers�* party. many came for the music festival put on by lula's wife. thousands had traveled across brazil to witness his return. lula! the inauguration has been partly ceremonial pomp, but there has also been a real festival atmosphere here. brazil has been through a few difficult years — it was hit hard by the pandemic, by political divide. but you speak to people here, they say this is a new beginning. not him anymore. we are fighting in the name of democracy. that's why we are here today. in the crowds were plenty of lula impersonators. hoping for more business now that he has returned, this one told me what his plans were for brazil. translation: we're going | to make this country better.

everyone will be able to eat. we will end hunger in this country. we will all have a right to live well here. love conquers hate, this placard says. perhaps somewhat optimistic, because for lulu's critics, he is still a corrupt politician who should never have been voted back in. he'll have to convince them that he can be their leader too for the next four years. katy watson, bbc news, brasilia. earlier we spoke to professor graziella testa, who is a politics professor at fgv university in brasilia. she had just come from the presidential inauguration event. i asked if president lula had an uphill battle ahead, given he'd only won 50% of the vote. yes, he does. i am pretty sure of that. and he's going to have a hard time building governability

as well because the national congress is further right than he is, but lula is also known for being a very conciliating personality, and it is going to be very interesting in this moment because the polarization plays an important role in the brazilian political i was going to say, it is an increasingly isolated country, a very different country from the one that he led 20 years ago. what will be his priorities? his priority is going to be deal with poverty and misery. the recent economy events led to a high inflation and bolsonaro had a hard time dealing with the health issues, education issues and social security issues in general. so there is this big part of the population who cannot afford to eat right now and this is going to be a priority for lula but he will have to deal

with taxes and tributary issues as well. the economy will be a challenge, i am sure of that. and what of mr bolsonaro? do you see him meddling from the sidelines in presidential politics? it is hard to anticipate the next move of bolsonaro as he just left the country three days while his supporters are still vigilant and are still waiting for him to do something and they stayed without some guide after he went. and on new year's eve, his vice president,

who is also a member of the military forces, came to the national television network to say that the armed forces are not going to support any kind of coup, and anyone who does, it is not the way of democracy. he has also been elected for the senate. so although lula did not have high support, with 50% of the vote, i believe not all bolsonaro supporters are extremists and they do believe in democracy and there is a lot to be rebuilt in brazilfrom now on. professor graziella testa. pele's public funeral service will take place later today in his adopted hometown of santos. his casket will be bought from

hospital where he died paulo to his adopted home of santos. this follows a period of mourning across brazil for the footballer who died at the age of 82 on thursday. tom grundy reports. applause. a country with a new president, saluting the man they call their king. at lula da silva puzzling inauguration, brazil's politicians, so often bitterly divided, united in remembering a national hero. and in england, players of all nationalities stopped to recognise a pioneer who revolutionised their sport. pele was a black man from a country with a deep history of racism. he became a global icon. at the hospital in sao paulo where he died on thursday, fans paid their own tributes. translation: outside the pitch. he _ tributes. translation: outside the pitch, he stopped _ tributes. translation: outside the pitch, he stopped was, - tributes. translation: outside the pitch, he stopped was, and i the pitch, he stopped was, and to me, he will always be the

shelter in kyiv. this gives you an idea of the reality of millions of ukrainians across the country who have to deal with this air raid alerts, day and night, missile attacks, also drone attacks. and ukrainians are tired of these air strikes that have hit places like kyiv, away from the front lines. the army said on sunday that at least 32 of those drones that russia has been using to attack this country were shot down. many here in kyiv. the authorities accused russia of deliberately targeting civilians by launching those attacks as people were celebrating the new year. we heard from jens stoltenberg, the nato chief who defended more military support for ukraine. he said this would force russia to negotiate, but he also said there were no signs that russia wanted to end the war. he said moscow was actually preparing more attacks. this is something we have heard from ukrainian officials in recent weeks.

later, it was many thousands that poured into st peter's square to see pope francis appear at a balcony and to hear a prayerfor his predecessor. translation: let us all join i together with one heart and one soul, in thanking god for this faithful servant, of the gospel and the church. the legacy of pope benedict for some people is complicated by the way he's viewed to have handled abuse scandals, particularly while he was archbishop of munich. how do you look back at that now? 0n the one hand, we can say that also pope benedict, just as archbishop of munich, he was not so strong in this, but on the other hand, we must say also as pope, during all his pastoral visits, one meeting was dedicated to persons who suffered by the church, also by sexual abuses.

even those who worked with and knew the late pope well acknowledge mistakes were made. but some of those who happened to have been visiting from far afield when the news broke feel honoured to be here now. we did not know that he passed until we were actually here and we saw the lines, and my wife and i were very blessed because we did have the opportunity to see him here and hear the new year's mass many years ago, so it touched us very personally. what are you going to take away from this experience? how much he meant to everyone, how much he impacted everyone, what did they do for him. seeing people crying and getting emotional got me emotional as well. over the coming three days, the pope emeritus will lie in state, for the masses who will want to pay tribute to him in person. aleem maqbool, bbc

northern ireland, northern england, certainly across scotland where we still have some lying snow. but through the morning, the showers will tend to clear away from the channel and the southeast of england. plenty of sunshine up and down the country, just a few showers for the north and west of scotland, these wintry over the hills. but a chillier—feeling day — in fact, temperatures closer to the seasonal norm, 3—9 celsius. so the day ends on a fine note, turns cold under clear skies overnight. but out west, the temperatures will be rising, and we'll see outbreaks of rain pushing in with this next frontal system — some of the rain will be heavy and falling as snow over the high ground across scotland as it bumps into that cold air, but not reaching the eastern side of the country until we move further into tuesday morning. so this is the pressure chart, then — low pressure taking over through tuesday. as the cold air gets pushed out of the way, the mild air returns, as you can see, from the yellow and orange colours there.

so initially, it'll be cold in the north and east of the country with that hill snow, maybe down to lower levels for a time. but it will revert back to rain as the milder air rushes in across the uk. some of the heaviest the rain will be across southern and western areas, some drier interludes across the east, but milder — as you can see temperatures for most back into double figures, well above where we should be for the time of year. that area of low pressure clears through, maybe something a little bit quieter on wednesday. by thursday and friday, more weather fronts pushing in with low pressure, bringing further rain and strong winds at times. so it is unsettled as we push towards the end of the week, generally mild in the south. just hints of something a little bit cooler moving in across all areas by the time we reach friday. see you later.
