Kate Adie presents stories from Brazil, Russia, the US, South Korea and Italy Brazilians this week mourned the loss of one of their greatest footballers, Pele, with hundreds of thousands going to view his open casket in Santos. Meanwhile, the politics continue to divide the nation as Lula Da Silva returned to power. Katy Watson was in Brasilia for his inauguration and reflects on the challenges ahead. Vladimir Putin used his New Year address this year to rally the nation once more for war, as festive ice sculptures even depicted military figures. The announcement of a ceasefire for Orthodox Christmas appeared incongruous with Putin's rhetoric and was dismissed by Ukrainians as a plot to stay their advances. Steve Rosenberg was in Moscow as Russians were once more put on a war footing. Linda Pressly has a dispatch from Tucson in Arizona where she met a group of committed Christians helping migrants who've crossed from Mexico into the harsh landscape of the Sonoran desert, and lost their way. This comes as President Joe Biden prepares to visit the border next week. John Murphy visits the rooftop apartments of South Korea's capital Seoul to hear why they hold such appeal for young Koreans - and how economic circumstances, and social expectations are causing some to leave the city altogether. Rome was also in mourning for another iconic figure - of the Catholic church. 50 000 mourners reportedly attended the funeral of Pope Benedict in St Peter's Square and tens of thousands more paid homage to him as he lay in state. David Willey has covered the Vatican for half a decade, and says there is a bigger sea change underway.

Attacks continue from both sides in eastern Ukraine near the front line city of Bakhmut. Also: the impact of rising temperatures on the world's shrinking glaciers, and the former Italian football star Vialli dies aged 58.

Gunfire and burning of cars follow the arrest of Ovidio Guzman-Lopez, the son of the notorious drug trafficker. Also: Ukraine rejects Putin's proposed Orthodox Christmas truce, and more football players on Cameroon's Under-17 team fail age testing.

A unilateral ceasefire called by Russia has broken down within hours of coming into effect. Both the Ukrainian Defence Ministry and separatist forces say there's been shelling close to the frontline Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. President Putin ordered the thirty-six hour pause in fighting, to coincide with the Orthodox Christmas, which is celebrated in both countries. Ukraine had already rejected the truce - arguing that it could be used by Russia to reinforce its troops. NewsHour speaks to a Russian officer that defected from the army. Also in the programme: Mexico arrests drug kingpin's son; and Kevin McCarthy gains ground as US House Speaker stalemate continues.

Putin instructed his defense minister to order a temporary cease-fire in Ukraine over Orthodox Christmas. Ukraine accuses Russia of trying to buy time to replenish its stocks along the front lines.

It's been a few weeks since I posted an episode. Forgive me. There's been a lot going on over that time and now Orthodox Christmas is upon us. For about 12 days recently I was stricken with a debilitating health issue. I endured a lot of pain and required a cane just to walk for several of those days. One night last week I couldn't sleep because of the pain. I managed to get out of bed and I ended up lying on the floor before our family icon corner praying the Jesus prayer for a few hours. In the wee hours of that morning, I began to feel desperate. I felt like God was ignoring my pleas for His mercy. I cried from the depths of my soul, but tears of repentance escaped me, and nor did my soul find comfort. Then, despair began to set in. But St. Nikolai Velimirovich has said: “Don't ever succumb to the insane thought that God has abandoned you. God knows exactly how much one can endure and, according to that, measures the sufferings and pains of everyone.” “The powers of darkness are not fought with sweets and Turkish delight, but with conduits of tears, with pain of the soul, with extreme humility, great patience, and unceasing painful prayer until our last breath.” - St Joseph the Hesychast. “Let us understand that God is a physician and that suffering is a medicine for salvation, not a punishment for damnation.” - St. Agustine of Hippo. “Suffering is an indication of another Kingdom which we look to. If being Christian meant being “happy” in this life, we wouldn't need the Kingdom of Heaven. - Fr. Seraphim Rose We must all suffer in this life, especially those that would take up their cross to follow the Theanthropos (God-man) Jesus. Like Christ, we may ask that the cup of suffering pass from us, but we must neither be masochists nor hedonists. “Pleasure and happiness accustom one to satisfaction with the things given in this world, whereas pain and suffering drive one to seek a more profound happiness beyond the limitations of this world.” - Fr. Seraphim Rose The question, then, is how do we approach pain and suffering? What disposition should we have towards them? “It is necessary to bear tribulations in peace; for if you accept them with resignation, you shall gain great merit; but if you submit to them with reluctance, you shall increase, instead of diminishing, your misery.” - St. John Chrysostom. We do not seek pain and or suffering, but we must embrace the cross we are called to bear in faith. “God has not forgotten the man whom He sends suffering and trials, but in this way is proving His closeness to him.” - St. John Chrysostom. What lies on the other side of pain and suffering endured for the sake of Christ? “If you succeed in rising above pain, in the sense that you no longer see it as something evil but rather as something good; if you consider every difficulty, burden, privation, and pain as a divine visitation, then you will live beyond temptations.” - Elder Aimilianos --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepodvigpod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepodvigpod/support

Veronika Melkozerova, Ukraine reporter for Politico Europe, discusses Ukraine's rejection of Putin's Christmas ceasefire.

Russia's call for a 36-hour ceasefire to observe Orthodox Christmas has been met with scepticism by Ukraine and its western allies. It would be the first ceasefire in Ukraine since May, but Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected the offer, accusing Russia of using Christmas as a cover to bring more troops and equipment to the front lines.

Pope Benedict XVI, who died at age 95, was laid to rest on Thursday following his funeral at the Vatican. We hear about Pope Benedict's legacy and where the Catholic Church goes from here. And Ukrainian officials say they have struck several barracks housing Russian soldiers in recent days. Russia now says it will impose a temporary ceasefire over Orthodox Christmas, beginning Jan. 6. Also, the Biden administration is expanding its use of Title 42 to begin rapidly expelling migrants from Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua. The new policies also offer legal entry into the US under humanitarian parole for a limited number of migrants. Also, Karim Younis, a Palestinian Israeli imprisoned for 40 years for killing an Israeli soldier, has been released.
