the passing of the german football icon funds back in the our has died at the age of 78. back in bower was one of the most successful players and soccer hope in clinch the world cup for germany, both as a player and then as a coach. but later in life, back in bower was accused of bringing corruption to the beautiful game. here's a look at the life of a man called, or germany rather called their kaiser, or the emperor. he was one of the most famous germans in the world, france beckon's out with every way he went successful to attend his entire life. been and so i can do for other people i was born of. okay. didn't people say that very goes have punctual voted anticipating i think that i have all of these characteristics dogged, easy category. okay. second valid was a paste war child born in munich in 1945, he began playing football. that's in the, the age. he started his professional career. that's fine. munich at the age of 19

fans gave him the nickname the kaiser due to his commanding the start of play. with the club, he won every major trophy that was as captain, he left the german national team. they became european champions and then wilts champions didn't 1974. that invalid is considered the ok until like 7 people or old style of play, always the free man on the fields and comforters, leaving based on the as my whole life has been defined by football, the. by soon as i can walk, i big gang kissing a bull and the fishing, and then i managed to perfect that to little to need. and this is how he was marketed. second ballot was also a world class business man. he was the 1st gym and play with his a manager and own brand new top quality. the only thing he wasn't good at was singing. nevertheless, he managed to get in the german music shots

the in 1977. his career took him to new york cause most the kaiser played alongside football. see the stop had a and he became the, the celebrity, german football. the id will hold himself. k did back and that was portrayed. so he ended his career on the pitch at the age of 38 and then became manager of the german team leading into world cup success in 1990 his career that to him to many patients including jobs that by munich and a deep uh, football. as well governing body. it was back in bass, hardwood, one gemini, the rights to host the 2006. well, the top starts on the thinking about what kind of vision does these event most. this world cup will be an example of friendliness of

organizational talent. and when the games over the people will say, germany organized a great $12.00 cost per page. and so then it goes out to give in foxtrot the 2006 will cost that came as some of the times that retails for the heights as they've driven self confidence. it also helped to send a positive image of the country, a broad transforming of his ideas of what gen and was the spot in 2015 the corruption navigations to do with the 2006 world cup. the spotlight fell on back. empower and his reputation suffered badly. he withdrew from the public, high personal struggles, followed with the loss of his son and some health problems, including 2 hospital probations. second valid, denied the corruption allegations against him. right till the very end. he was without doubts, germany's football. the of the century here lubarski is a former german football or and played for the 1990 woke up champions. he knew

funds back in board better than most. we asked him what made back in bowers so special. he was sending to nbc. what the football eh, gives us fun. taishan inc. hot muck success and beauty for classes and leadership on the pitch. and also also pitch. she was, it's a great guy in the, in the, in the promotions. and she was actually also a valued spectrum in the foot boulevard off those kind of yeah, you got us are going to come in 2006. so altogether and he was living for football and he gave germany so much and he changed also a little bit, maybe the view about germany during the world cup. so we have also some really kind parts as we turn out to the middle east, where it is rarely drones try, can southern lebanon has reportedly killed

a senior commander of the hezbollah, milton group as well. a put out a statement confirming that one of his commanders was on her son towel was killed in a strike on monday, but provided no further details loving the security sources said he was a member of hezbollah as a lead to rod one force and died in an attack on a vehicle in the southern village of care, but so near the border with his real this of the 2nd high profile killing inside a limit on this year. last week and last deputy leaders, salt lake a rory was killed in a blast in a b root summer. now this comes as us secretary of state anthony blinking is in israel, is part of a week long diplomatic tour and a trying to prevent the war and gone so from spreading to the wider region. he landed in tel aviv a short time ago after holding taunts with arrow bleeders from across the region. lincoln says the meetings are aimed at call me intentions. washington has repeatedly rejected calls for truce, blinking is expected to emphasize the need to protect civilians and increase aid.

the goal is blinking spoke to reporters and saudi arabia right before boarding his plane to israel. will have an opportunity to share with is rarely meters. everything i've heard just far on this trip and also to talk to them about the future direction of the military campaign. and guys i will press on the absolute imperative to do more to protect civilians. and to do more to make sure that you mandatory the system is getting into the hands of those who need what's bringing our washington correspondent, janelle jamal long for more. so do you know what exactly is mc blinking trying to achieve with his latest visit? it's well, broadly speaking, he has a 2 fronted emission there. the 1st is that he wants to remind is really government of the american viewpoint in terms of how to conduct this war in gaza. it is known

that washington is pushing israel for lower intensity operations involving fewer a troops instead of the mass of aerial bombardment that israel is currently conducted. the idea there being that fewer troops could lead to fewer civilian casualties, or at the very least could enable more ease in terms of a distribution, humanitarian aid. the 2nd priority for blinking would be that he's trying to of course, had also a wider escalation of the israel, a gaza conflict into a regional war. i made clashes with iran about proxies in lebanon, and in the red sea. it's worth noting that this is 5th visit to israel. it is just one country on a 9, a country tour of the region. and it clearly underscores just how concerned washington is at the prospect of this turning into a wider regional conflicts that could pull the us into yet another drawn out in

middle east or something. of course that the us has some experience of. right. and you were saying that this is lincoln's 5th visit to the region. are there any signs that has mediation is actually achieved anything in the last 3 months as well? 5th, a visit to israel, 4th, visit to the region. but uh, with the death toll in gauze reaching $22000.00 according to the homeless run, the health industry. i don't think that success is really the word that anyone is reaching for here. now, us officials of course, are always very careful to say that although they consult closely with israel, they cannot in fact tell israel what to do and it is on israel to decide how to prosecute this war. but of course, this is the point of diplomacy, right? like talking is better than not talking, also worth imagining how this would look like without us involvement. arguably, it is us pressure that has force israel to allow in more humanitarian aid,

even though it's still far below the level of what is in fact required for the affected palestinians. it's us carriers that are reacting to the threats in the red sea, and it is us pressure again that is prompting israel to say now that it is prepared to transition to lower intensity operations involving fewer air strikes and fewer troops. even though the timeline on board is of course, open now, of course, a given the mass of devastation at the moment. it is fair to say that even though the us has expanding massive diplomatic resources, it is having trouble selling the fruits of its diplomatic labor not just to the region but to the wider world. all right, i'm afraid we'd have to leave it there. that was dw, janelle do a lot one in washington reporting for us. thank you very much for joining us. now there's been a snag in america's attempt to return to the moon. a lunar lander that was launched

into space earlier today as one of the technical difficulties astro biologic technologies. helgrin lender was launched on board a rocket from cape canaveral in florida. it separate the successfully from the rocket. but then the spacecraft experienced a quote anomaly that stopped it from pointing if solar panels at the sun, without the ability to charge batteries and maintain a power supply. the mission goes nowhere. this is the 1st lunar lander to be sent to the moon by the west since the apollo missions of the 1970s for more than they're supposed to bring in keith colleen or former rocket scientist and nasa employee. currently he is editor of nasa. watch dot com. so keep what exactly is the status of the lander now? well, it's a little bit beyond what you just mentioned. they did have a problem with the solar panels after the space crap separated from the rock. i just the only space graphite around it to start directing. but what happened was, it's separated from the rocket, but it didn't point towards the sun and it needed

a sun charged battery. they got it pointing at the sun and it's charged as batteries with the propulsion system seems to have a problem. so the spacecraft is alive and talking to earth, but it may not. gland on the moon, it may just sail by the moon and going to orbit around the sun. all right, but the bank, so the question can emission still be useful if it can't land directly on the moon itself or yeah i'm, i'm sure somebody sort of worst case scenario is here. first of all, the instruments you're working, it's gonna fly by the moon. some of the instruments can measure pretty much anything that they look at. they were designed to look at the lunar surface and you know, they're going to be practice on how the spacecraft works in case they want us to enter another one. so it's not a total loss, it's close to that, but not a total loss. but if nothing else, the crate or star trek and his wife, their ashes will now go by the moon and in orbit forever around the sun. so, slight cancellation. yeah, i mean it's a great track here if anything else. now,

this isn't the 1st major failure of a lunar emission in recent months. a russian mission also failed. why is it so difficult to land on the moon if we've already been there? well, you know, i'm 68 and when i was a kid we did all the moon thing for the 1st time. and the spacecraft barely had computers. so it's not, it's not easy, but it's not hard to thing is you have to keep doing it in this spacecraft is far more complex than anything that america has ever waited at the moment before that said, this is a commercial space craft the s a but surfaces on it's not an as the spacecraft. so it's the 1st time this spacecraft is flown and a fluid or new rocket which by the way, work perfectly. so if you're bound to have these problems happen, the flip side is that it was a lot cheaper to play a distribution then if nasa did it by itself. so you decide which risk you want. you want to risk a lot of money on $1.00 spacecraft or try a new model is cheaper,

maybe lose one, be get another. but we're going to watch another one to the moon and a couple of weeks. so you know, we'll try again. all right, and briefly zip code, does this affect nasa's goal of watching crude missions to the moon in the coming years? not, not directly. it provided it will provide you this mission and others will provide additional information that helps nasa, you know, brought me exactly what they're going to do with humans here, but this is not directly related to humans landing on the moon. all right, colleen, thank you very much. for joining us, that was keith colleen, the editor of nasa watch dot com. thank you for joining us. my pleasure. all right and your up to date, but stick around, there's much more news and analysis coming up in the coming hour. and remember, there's always our website, if you need more news on the go with that's dw dot com, or you can also check us out on social media or a handle is at dw news. stay tuned, coming up next is for our series looking at the lives of women in asia. thanks for joining us.

the vacation as an applicant? do they have the web? i, when i told me that they don't have to do this and we go say hoffman. fishy today because then they go to that set up to, you know, medical people watch stuff with car bama tenants otherwise. so not because there's no.
