a wedding, a, a ward winning documentary from around to whoa, whoa, now she's 0, ah, south african say good bye to their national hero, anti apartheid activist. archbishop desmond tutu. ah, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is out there, alive from doha, also coming up with all major cities across the world, welcoming the new year under heavy quoted restrictions,

hundreds of homes destroyed and thousands evacuated. bought a fast moving wildfire in the us state of colorado is almost out. and tribute pull in for betty weiss, the golden girl of comedy who's died. just wait shy of her 100 birthday ah. a funeral service for lading, south africa's lading anti apartheid hero. archbishop desmond to church has been held in cape town. churches daughter led the tributes in a service impacted by the panoramic president 0 ram, oppose it, delivered the main eulogy, calling to do a crusade for justice, equality and pates. he'll be like to rest at saint george's cathedral, where he preached against racial injustice fees. he was not content to preach about social justice from the pulpit. he was with the homeless,

the helpless, the persecuted, the sick, and the destitute. in the street, in the shallow test. and in hopes he embraced all who had ever felt the cold wind of exclusion. and they intend also embraced him to manila has been covering developments for us in cape chance. hello there for made it the farewell has concluded. what stood out for you. how well the hearse carrying the remains of the archbishop esmond to has left the saint george's cathedral and he is expected to be cremated. and then his ashes later in turned at the church, the cathedral just behind us. but to tell us more about the service and just what it meant tor, south africans. and those within the anglican church were speaking a,

to a reverent him castillo jabber of the anglican church. and he was also part of the planning of this funeral service at reverend, certainly a fitting tribute to a global icon for march. we had to make sure of that because much of what has happened in the service itself because of all was the wishes of the archbishop. we had to make sure that we put together in a way that reflects most accurately what he desired and who he was saw in the 1st place. people were asked him why in a formal church service as such. and the response immediately which he gave or thought or that is with the archbishop was the service, was a bit context off, a eucharist him holy communion were from which was a fitting way of firm and giving thanks for a life of this nature. the eucharist is really a central feature of our life or faith because it takes us back to the heart of

both christian remembrance and as part of his own life and spirituality. the archbishop placed that eucharist at the heart of we was and many of us do believe that with fucked devotion and worship and prayer. that's where the life that we saw of him. and it flowed from his deep roots of prayer and worship and more spots rally in the eucharist, sol, so either way a number of reach was also in addition to that which spoke to m him as a or the office of the priest. the bishop that he was the archbishop that he was, if you saw at the beginning of the service in a, in a normal state and political funeral, you would have for a high official, whatever it is that was part of his, the office. but in this case, you will, you would have seen that, and we were specific about making sure that we have symbols of his ministry to

remind the world and everybody and, and asked as living christians, that he never stopped being the person a never stopped praying it never stopped and worshiping, and that's what really about the remains. and that was, i thought that was the things that we used to our dawn, his coffin. and at the end, you'd have seen the ashby shop during the beautiful re trial of cleansing the coffin with water. as a reminder of something that's very basic again in our faith, which is baptism. what, what we, what causes us to eat as christians that we are. and those are the things that we are special to very seriously. and the service was getting a fit in for his family. particularly the, the things that he chose, the cubes that connected to him specially that to african hymns that we include at least soliciting the la call, which is a very beautiful connection to,

to your saga. who wrote it as the fess african priest ordained. and all saw a hockey lea chickamauga, which is that's why it's why my him, which are when we land, that was his mother's him and those hymns brought life out of him. and so it was a very beautiful em way, which we also felt like we needed to honor him. and so that it's tough. it's not just a service about the church by also a service lot on us, the legacy at the pessimist, the ashby and his legacy. certainly one that will always play a central role in the future of the anglican church and south africa. certainly because as you write for research later on, the ashes will be in terms of the choice with tina the us be sort of explained is that this wasn't for the church was his home. he gave himself several of the from the, from beginning to end. and so it is a fitting legacy that especially

a good blessing that he's ashes will be here and everyone can pilgrim have to all to see where he's and to be a flight of prayer and continued thanksgiving for him. and thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. we're speaking there to reverend to priscilla javert from the anglican church explaining some of the rituals and traditions around the fi. well, to the archbishop desmond to, to what we know that the presidential convoy is also left the church now alongside the family of the late archbishop and of forsythe africans. really a sad day, one with the last of the generation of both political and religious leadership or has been lost. thank you very much from in a mil alive for us. in cape town. hundreds of people are marching across iraq to market nearly 2 years since iran's top general got samsung money was killed
