6:02 pm
welcome to the news, our global superstar from brazil that billions around the world, simply know as pele of footballing legend to seem to defy the rules of gravity and transform football into what is now seen as simply the beautiful game pallet's the only football in history to win 3 world cup trophies and he scored countless goals . the many players have not matched or surpassed. while mourners from brazil and around the world are in the city of santos. these alive pitches are there to pay tribute to the legend who died on thursday. and that also as i was, he was john holman. and john, of course, this is a day of real sadness and celebration for a man who i suppose was the nearest thing to royalty there in brazil. yeah, actually you can see probably on the banner on the other side of the stadium here, it says long live the king import to gays. and that's how at pele was known simply
6:03 pm
here as at the king. and you can see that the people are filing around the sort of the templates in the middle underneath that. and there is the coffin that pallet's body is in a and we told the president, luna is going to come later on. and there's all sorts of people that been waiting outside since before sundown of the year of the, of the night before to come and pay their respects. you can also see that around that they've got what amounts to a presidential god, really that the same at the same elite force of the army that rule. so guarding lula president luna in his inauguration just yesterday. so that's a sign ready of how pele is regarded here in his homeland. but he's also known here . we've been talking to people for the last couple of days as just a good guy. that's how one man described than to me. and he seen as someone who was humble, when you go outside to the stadium here to the bar that says him from pretty much
6:04 pm
everyone has met him all kinds to have met. and they describe his good guy, someone who's humble down to worth his teammates from the period described him as good team player. he was someone that wasn't just individualist, but he was also out to help those he played with. so i think 2 different visions of play, one is the king of football, and one is that good guy, the electric small that everyone remembers here. and of course john talking about t side to play, there was a very much the, the public figure and the private man, of course, his 100 year old mother still lives in santo. so she, this is an opportunity for both public and private and private morning. took us to the coming few hours and also curious to know about this locker. yeah, i think you're and i was faking about that just the other day. no. so here where we are now in the st. those ground in the dressing in the dressing room, there's a locker that hasn't been opened pallet's locker since he stopped playing for the team. and he said, a legend has it. you can open that when i'm gone. so we're still waiting to see for
6:05 pm
that locus to be open and to see exactly what's within it. and what pearl of wisdom at the king has left for us. or if it's just a pair of sorts of mowdy foot will boots that have been used for 50 years or so. so we got that as well. you would speak in there as well, about the private and the public figure goes pele wasn't his real name. that's ed's enough mental and i think that that's been a lot of talk, especially in the coast last couple of days like victories coming out about the fact the in the last part of his life, particularly he was a man that's a sort of play pele. he had to play this role, he had to be there with this electric small that we've been talking about and he will so obviously may low of money from that. at pele was known for his endorsement deals, said he could sell pretty much everything from mastercard to viagra. once he'd finished at once, he'd finished his playing career. but i think that the essence of that and the a and the authentic nature of that meant that respect and love to him was still
6:06 pm
undimmed here. and he say in his homeland, that she off to this is finished after the 24 hours of this been audio. that's what they called a sort of extended wake him, which people are gonna fall back. they'll be a procession for his home town. oh, go past the higher the home of his 100 year old mother. what we told is that she is unconscious. she not really aware of what's going on at the moment. and after that, it will go up into a private ceremony in the cemetery near here, in which he'll be late to rest on and off to that people can go and visit his grave and joan before you go. can you explain why this wake is being held in sun sauce at the ground there rather than for example, other famous stadiums in the country? yeah, definitely. i think the people outside of brazil and i'm sure, and he's going to talk more about this. he's known for his performance, particularly in the 970 woke up the 1st one in color in which games were, were, were televised around the world in hope. but i think the people,
6:07 pm
especially with them brazil, santo's is where it all started for him. he started playing for this team as a 16 year old, me turned them, helped to turn them into a national and then an international force playing exhibition games against the great european sides of the period. and in that time that became known as a fantastic host. sort of a version of the fantastical as the fantastic team here, and it's where he's he, he and he got the majority of his $1200.00 plus goes. so this is a really special place for pele, and it's obviously where he wanted. b wanted to be remembered and where he wanted people to come and see him to extraordinary story relief. we were at the sun, a museum that was built for him while he was still alive here the other day. they still got the shoe box that he built with his uncle when he was a child. and that was how he started off shining shoes in a nearby railway station to rose from that poverty to base to be known as the king
6:08 pm
in this country. john many thanks, shaw, home, and live there in santa swallow. for more in this some joint in the studio by andy richardson to talk all things, pele and auntie. i was speaking to an expert. somebody is based in south america a few days ago. and he described play as being like a modern player and gone into a time machine gone back in time with all the knowledge that we have now about sports nutrition and science. going back in time to, to show all time players how it's done, what do we mean by that? do they? yeah, it was, i mean, it was, it was a very sort of, insightful statement. i think if you, if you look back at what he did in 1951 of the reasons he called the public imagination back then at a time when the well cut wasn't the global platform, it is now was because of the skill he was using. the speed, it was not something that was normal in football, in the 1950s. the pitches were heavy, boots were heavy, the ball was heavy, the referees didn't protect plays in the way that they do now. and police somehow
6:09 pm
managed to overcome all of that, and standout is this unique talent in terms of what we're seeing now. i mean, lying in states in this way is something you normally see for a president, king queen, a prime minister. that is the or he is held in not just by brazil in the people of santos, but by all people around the world for what he's done, he's made his country synonymous with football, is made that city of sanford, which just outside, somehow already a place of pilgrimage because of what pallet's done is sure to continue now after i'm sure was going to be all sorts of memorials to him after his death. it will continue to be a global sensor for football. and really he made the world cup what it is now. the will come didn't have anything like stature has now before and i think it was, it was really nice that he was still 70 lucid and able to watch the world cup. and cats are, he was still posting. i'm of social media giving a few words of encouragement and name more on the current brazil team because
6:10 pm
without him the faith presidents, he's been as yawning, francine, and everybody who loves the world cup. that phone would not have anything like the states as it has now. if it wasn't for pele, extremely personal, took timing for pele. then i suppose if he was going to go. of course it's easy to imagine looking back at his life that it was all playing sailing for him, but he's a person also experience real adversity as me. yeah, and i think that's what makes his his career some so interesting. i mean, and it's the, the trajectory we see from, from many bottom plays, they merge the formats as he did in 1958 as a teenager. that saving nothing could go wrong for the world cup in 1962. he was injured in the 2nd game, so although brazil won the well copy, played a fairly minimal role in that tournaments. and in 1966 arrived in england for that former with a tale on his back, he was known as the world's greatest player. and boy, was he targeted by the teams and he was kicked left right and centre. the team went
6:11 pm
out in the group stages. and after that, he said he really got no interest in playing into for football anymore. if that was the way it was going to be in, it took a lot of persuasion from his team mates, from coaches and also from the politicians at the time. there was a lot of upheaval in brazil during the mid sixties. it was that there was a military coup in 1964 i think and the leaders of that q were very keen to have pele back in the national team and 970. so he's under a huge amount of pressure going into that, told him that we remember the joyful technicolor seems from mexico $970.00 real laugh color exam, the bill little, that'd be really complicated for plan for that thing. going to put you on the spot here on the because did play, do you think break the mold when he was born? i'm who can possibly replace them in people's minds when it comes to food. i mean, it's an eternal arguments and it's the reason we'll, we'll love football so much. i think what made him stand out. i was lucky enough to meet him in 2007 when he came. it's
6:12 pm
a capital. we sat down and very lucky to have an interview with him. he was very humble from, from the, from when he started. so how we was when i met him, then he said, i've never walked into a room thinking on better than anyone. on a female, it's what helps him stand out for so many people around the world. he came from a humble background. people could relate to him and he gave that impression that if you had the talent, if you had the dedication, you could become a professional football. it is interesting. on that occasion he was talking about his father himself was a very good play. but how does career cut short by injury? his father said same, i don't want to play football. i want to get a proper qualification, become a, become a doctor, or a lawyer, or whatever. thankfully pele ignored his advice and did carry on the football. and thanks so much for your insight, what an extraordinary character. well, just to take you back to these live pitches of sans, also the wake of pele. we've had several days of national morning. now the wake of
6:13 pm
course of a public event there on in the grounds. of that sir, all important football stadium where he began his career after this public event, a funeral. more of a private affair for the family in the coming days. or i plenty more had on the news out, including a reported surgeon cove in 19 infections in china. promised more countries around the world to impose restrictions on travelers after years of 10th relations between columbia and venezuela, the bridge slinking, the 2 nations finally opens in sport a disappointing night for one of the well cups. biggest stars andes. here again, with that story. mm rushes, defense ministry says 63 of its soldiers were killed in
6:14 pm
a ukrainian attack in the russian control done yet, screeching of ukraine. it happened in the town of mucky of car on new year's eve. yes, give it a zoom. um least normal doses do that, do them as many of them in the keep regime targeted, temporary diploma points of one of the units of the russian armed forces near the settlement of mchuga in the dentist people's republic with 6 rockets of the us made him as multiple rocket launchers, crashing air defense systems shut down to him as rockets as a result of the strike of 4 missiles with high explosive warhead at the to period deployment point. 60, the russian service men were killed. nobody. or charles travers joins us life now from care for more and less and charles, the conflicting numbers between ukraine and russia of exactly how many russian troops may have, di, but both sides appear to agree that a significant attack has taken place here. it certainly seems that way, yes, as you say,
6:15 pm
it's very difficult to try and sift through some of the competing narratives here. but it's safe to say that that is a rare mission from the russians that such a significant attack has happened. saying that 63 russian soldiers were killed in this attack. there has been a statement put out by the strategic communications director of ukraine on force is certainly on that telegram channel. and they are claiming that up to 400 russian corpses was seen russian soldiers dead. russian soldiers was seen at that strike site. again referring to it. they refer to it as a vocational college or a vocational school that had been used to house these soldiers. they're also talking around about of, around about $300.00 other soldiers that were injured. they use some pretty floor language is fair to say as well. only the only telegram channel calling these
6:16 pm
russian soldiers pay dogs. now that's not unusual, but what we do know for sure is that there is a lot of heavy fighting in that area, that area of mucky because it comes off the sort of the, the southern tip of don't ask is right on the front line. we were there a couple of months ago and the fighting was heavy enough then. so it is a very active front line. certainly the russians accusing the ukrainians of using a precision weapon that him malls system that the americans have supplied to the ukrainians. but as i say, it's very difficult to confirm exactly these kind of numbers, but it is fair to say that this is a red mission of, of a significant death toll by the russians. but let's be honest, this is a very active front line, right, the way down through the east. and there are hundreds of men according to some statistics and some military analyst, hundreds of men on both sides of it being killed in this war,
6:17 pm
in that area. every day, charles trying to live in kear is right. the forces have demolished 3 palestinian homes in the village of in a village rather in janine and the occupied westbank. ah, they belong to the families of 2 palestinians accused of killing and it's really officer last year following the demolitions fighting broke out between the israeli troops and local residents. sorry, high ads has more on those demolitions, these demolition. so come as a surprise. the demolition sausage on sunday nights and as a result of fighting before between the israeli forces and the palestinians living in the area you people have been killed to palestinians and 3. and one of them is a critical condition now. the demolitions were of 2 homes that belong to 2 young palestinians in september last year. they try to carry out an attack. hudson is
6:18 pm
ready checkpoint and in the process of firing they got killed and also an israeli soldier. it was killed as well. now this is one of the things that the israeli forces do. it's a punitive kind of demolition that they do when people are involved in attacks or they deem anyone that is working against the state of israel, the type of demolitions we see there tends to be 2 types of demolitions here. you have the ones that are usually carried out by the military and the other ones tend to be. 1 of where they've accused the palestinian family of not having the right israeli permits for that it could be a home. it could be a shop, it could be a business. and in those instances, it's very hard palestinian save it is often it's very difficult to get hold of those permits. so how frequent are home demolitions bias ready forces will, according to the united nations during the 1st 11 months of 2022, a total of $850.00 palestinian own structures were demolished in the occupied
6:19 pm
westbank. as a result, around a 1000 people were forced from their homes and their signs is rarely to intensify. this campaign in november on june 23 buildings were destroyed far more than the monthly average for the rest of the year. policy, dominion activists say the demolitions are illegal and constitute a form of collective punishment. israel's government, and course to speech this or shot co. dora is a senior legal researcher for our hug organization. she says that the demolition of homes is just one type of collective punishment that israel uses against palestinians. i think it's good to take a step back and explain what is, what is the punishment often individual for and often that he or she committed and by him, it is under international law, more specific to missouri and specifically article to put
6:20 pm
in an article 50 of his regulation prohibits collective punishment. the delay, the range of holding these unpacked productive punishment with the case today with the demolishing 2 houses and a dad and the attorney. but also we have the withholding of palestinian bodies, disclosure. and these are examples of collective punishment that the user to use conduct and carry out widespread, inadequate, so really connected to punishment and having a secret of israel and christian off colonial tactics of the british mandate. so they do militia the pinnacle how the munitions are carried out,
6:21 pm
when the veterans of the sweeping permission provider and for the regulation, 119 of the british emergency regulation and b and emergency regulation inherent by or from the british mandate. and so under the regulation, the so called military commanders has the authority to see or demolish kind of the property of individuals who have committed an attack against the state of israel. and israeli forces also arrested 15 palestinians in different areas of the occupied west bank. the overnight raids were concentrated mainly in nablus. hebron and janine palestinian media say the detainees who had taken to australia, jails, and on charges of resisting the occupation. damascus international airport has
