  The main physics goals of the NA61/SHINE programme on strong interactions are
the study of the properties of the onset of deconfinement and the search for
signatures of the critical point of strongly interacting matter. These goals
are pursued by performing an energy (beam momentum 13A -158A GeV/c) and system
size (p+p, p+Pb, Be+Be, Ar+Sc, Xe+La) scan. This publication reviews results
and plans of NA61/SHINE. In particular, recent inclusive spectra and new
results on fluctuations and correlations of identified hadrons in inelastic p+p
and centrality selected Be+Be interactions at the SPS energies are presented.
The energy dependence of quantities inspired by the Statistical Model of the
Early Stage (kink, horn and step) show unexpected behavior in p+p collisions.
The NA61/SHINE results are compared with the corresponding data of other
experiments and model predictions.
