of one of football's true greats. the greatest, it's opinion, but pele led, others stand on his shoulders. well over 1,000 goals, a career of over 20 years, three times a world cup winner. brazilian football, synonymous with flair and success, was built on pele. in 1958, pele took part in his first world cup tournament, aged just 17. he scored six goals in four matches, playing himself to the point of exhaustion. when brazil beat sweden in the final, one opponent said when he watched pele, he felt like applauding. injury limited his role in the 1962 world cup. in 1966, well, opposing teams knew they had to stop pele one way or another. four years later, in 1970 in mexico, pele was part of a brazilian team widely regarded as the best set of players ever. they won the world cup with a freedom of expression and fluency never seen before. it was pele�*s last world cup.

without him, brazil waited another 2a years before winning the trophy again. pele remained in demand. after all, he was one of the most famous names and faces in the world. he spent 18 years with one club, santos, averaging nearly a goal a game. by 1975, he was in the united states, the ultimate acquisition for a new league hungry for glamour. the league didn't last, but pele still thrilled new york. after football, he took on ambassadorial roles, commercial opportunities and naturally collected recognition. and pele expressed no regrets. if i have to to do every single game again since i was born until now, i would do everything again. and i thank god. the popularity of football, the very idea of what makes it entertaining, began more than any other man with pele.

tonight the arch at wembley stadium has been lit up in the colours of brazil — as tributes pour in from all over the world to the man many called the king. the french football star killian mbappe said "the king of football has left us but his legacy will never be forgotten". the brazilian star neymar — said pele turned football into art, into entertainment. he gave voice to the poor — visibility to brazil. joe wilson has more on the reaction to his death. many visited the museum at some remember the matches. amon- pele�*s remember the matches. among pele�*s content praise are some of england's most famous players. geoff hurst writing on social media i have so many memories of pele...

even from distance. he will never be forgotten and his memory will live forever in each and everyone of football lovers. in brazil pele�*s nearest equipment isn't his nemar. for him i would say football was just a sport. he changed everything he turned football into art, and tim and he gave a voice to the poor, to black people and mostly give visibility to brazil. the deep respect spans generations and sport two. you sample describes pele as a sporting legend. what pele stood for

is joy. sporting legend. what pele stood for isjoy. without sporting legend. what pele stood for is joy. without that what is sport? his career took football from black and to its fullest boldest colours, its global status. why else would when police are to be changed to the colours of brazil, ofjoy the colours of brazil, ofjoy the colours of brazil, ofjoy the colours of pele? former england footballer and now sports broadcaster gary lineker has also been sharing his thoughts on pele�*s legacy. well, pele is, of course, regarded as a legend, but he actually is a legend, certainly in football terms. he won three world cups and was a majorfigure in doing those. one of the greatest players of all time, won his first world cup in 1958 when he was just 17 years old and scored a hat—trick in the semifinal and then two in the final, including one where he flicks it over his head, over a defender and volleys it into the back of the net.

so he followed that up with success in �*62 and then again in �*70, the only player to win three world cups. so i think it's very easy to explain why he's a legend. he's unquestionably one of the greatest football players that's ever lived. and you have to be a certain age, of course. and i'm one of those people that were lucky enough to see him. my first world cup, i remember, was 1970, that brilliant brazilian side that he was the star of. and he had a profound effect on my love of football. now, we don't really have the access to see the amount of footage that we do in the modern game. even with maradona, we saw quite a lot more than you would do with pele, because obviously not so many matches were filmed. so we didn't see quite so much. and i caught him at the end of his career, but he was still outstanding. but he could do everything.

he was... for me, the three greats in my lifetime, there's pele, maradona and messi. it's difficult to separate them because they play in totally different eras, but all three of them do things that other players, other mere mortals of footballers, can't do. and i think that's what really lifts them above all the others. well, pele is hugely significant in not only the development of football, but also in football itself and the enjoyment of football, which is the most important thing. it's an entertainment business. and he was one of the great entertainers through his pure skill, talent and ability. and he was also a proven goal—scorer. in that sense, he was slightly different, perhaps to someone like maradona and even messi, who were more creative, possibly. but pele was an out and out goal scorer, and he's played a huge part in football. the name pele isjust synonymous with football.

i spoke earlier to author andrew downie who wrote the greatest show on earth, a book about the 1970 world cup. i began by asking him what that legendary tournament meant for pele. there is almost no one in brazil whose old enough to remember a world before pele. he whose old enough to remember a world before pele. , _ ., , ., , before pele. he is so synonymous with the country _ before pele. he is so synonymous with the country for _ before pele. he is so synonymous with the country for winning, - before pele. he is so synonymous with the country for winning, for l with the country for winning, for winning in style and for winning in style with a smile on his face. he is the greatest diplomat that brazil has ever produced the greatest pr machine. to put it in a uk context it is like losing winston churchill lord nelson bobby charlton all—in—1. so even though it has not come as a

surprise it is still in shock. essen surprise it is still in shock. even in a country _ surprise it is still in shock. even in a country where _ surprise it is still in shock. even in a country where the - surprise it is still in shock. even in a country where the so - surprise it is still in shock. even in a country where the so much | surprise it is still in shock. even in a country where the so much of the population is extremely young how much of in it inspiration did he remain on and off the fill inspired people to play football and also as a national hero?— people to play football and also as a national hero? what you think of when ou a national hero? what you think of when you think — a national hero? what you think of when you think of _ a national hero? what you think of when you think of brazil _ a national hero? what you think of when you think of brazil you - a national hero? what you think of when you think of brazil you may l when you think of brazil you may think of the amazon rain forest, samba, but you will certainly think of football and that is because of pele. pele is born 52 years after brazil abolishes slavery and becomes the undisputed king of the game. it is an extraordinary and unbelievable story in one that should never be taken lightly. as a nine—year—old child he watches his father crying as he listens to the radio as brazil lose the final of the 1950 world cup to uruguay and pele decides to avenge his and he says his father,

he will avenge his in 20 years later. forstill he will avenge his in 20 years later. for still have won the world cup three—time blue is help them win three times and especially after mexico 1970, the first will cup which had been brought cost live too much of the planet. that habit of downing tools every four years and watching the world cup, we had just been doing this with the action in qatar it all starts with pele. he's the one who transformed the vent into one of the most gripping sporting events that there is. more than anyone else to turn pro cup into the spectacle that it is today. i think there is something fitting, appropriate about the fact that his last lucid on earth coincided with the world cup in qatar.

i spoke earlier to author andrew downie who wrote the greatest show on earth, a book about the 1970 world cup. i began by asking him what that legendary tournament meant for pele. it was his third world cup winners metal he won in 1950s and then again for somebody who is so well—known, such a legendary figure he was the humble guy. i met him on two occasions and i remember the first time he actually said mining. i remember my heart stopping for second and thinking, pele knows my

name. it was really a remarkable moment for me. he would often do this, remember peoples names and put his arm around people taking photos with them which is also a real amazing thing to have the greatest footballer of all time, a legendary quy footballer of all time, a legendary guy actually touching you and showing you this intimacy. that was the kind of guy that he was he was very down to earth. h0??? the kind of guy that he was he was very down to earth.— the kind of guy that he was he was very down to earth. how do you think he remains — very down to earth. how do you think he remains so _ very down to earth. how do you think he remains so when _ very down to earth. how do you think he remains so when he had _ very down to earth. how do you think he remains so when he had the - very down to earth. how do you think he remains so when he had the world as he? that is a great question. i'm not hundred percent sure. he was always, he came from a humble back on his mother and father were quite poor. he really grew up quite poor. there was drummed into him that he had to set an example. and he was criticised for not taking more of a stance on racism and the military dictatorship but his defence was always, listen i was brought up to not

to fight people but to set an example of what i've tried to do is that it is in the example of how to be a good person and how to reach the top without standing on too many people or doing the wrong thing. that was always his defence. henry winter, chief football writer for the times, also has words for pele and his achievements, not just in football, but also in brazil. pele has left us but his memory, legacy— pele has left us but his memory, legacy is — pele has left us but his memory, legacy is immortal. it is not asjoe was describing his career the three world _ was describing his career the three world cups — was describing his career the three world cups the performances for santos. — world cups the performances for santos. it — world cups the performances for santos, it was also how he played the game — santos, it was also how he played the game. forthat santos, it was also how he played the game. for that spectacular brazil fourth goal probably one of the greatest files of all time until messi a _ the greatest files of all time until messi a week or so ago. and try it

as is much of the capital. ukraine's military says — 69 missiles were launched from air and sea, with air defences intercepting 5a of them. it comes as the head of ukraine's military intelligence, has told the bbc, that russia is running out of missiles. hugo bachega reports from kyiv. 0n the outskirts of kyiv, tears and anger. tatiana lives far from the front lines, but this morning war has come to her. her house was hit when russia launched another barrage of air strikes. she shows us the renovation work they had just done. translation: my granddaughter was in this bedroom _ and you can see what happened. it's a very difficult feeling when you are just waiting for the next attack to happen. my granddaughter was very scared.

she was screaming on the phone. it's a very difficult feeling when you are just waiting for the next attack to happen. tatiana's husband was in the next room when the ceiling fell around him. translation: i went deaf a while. everything started to crumble around me. iran outside and found my daughter screaming. we still don't know what happened. this crater was likely the point of impact and the power of the blast destroyed these cars and all the houses here with personal belongings everywhere. three people were injured, no one was killed. russia's missiles and drones have brought scenes like this to places across this country. but kyiv�*s mayor says the attacks won't break people's determination to resist. the russians want to bring depression. especially right now,

christmas time, new year. the russians want to bring us to a black time. ukrainian people are very angry and they told better we stay without electricity and heating but we never give up. and from ukraine's spy chief, a warning — these attacks are unlikely to stop. they will try to continue them. can they do this for long? no, because they do not have many missiles left. their defence industry is incapable of producing enough missiles to sustain the same scale of strikes. this is another reason they're trying to get missiles from other countries. the strikes again have disrupted the lives of millions of ukrainians. they've emerged from underground shelters but wonder when and where the next attack will hit.

here in the uk, the english fashion designer dame vivienne westwood has died at the age of 81. her fashion house said she died peacefully in london surrounded by her family. with her boutique in chelsea in the 1970s, vivienne westwood brought modern punk and a subversive attitude into mainstream british fashion. sarah campbell looks back at her life. # i am an antichrist. # i am an anarchist. # don't know what i want but i know how to get it. i # i want to destroy...# she gave birth to punk, | conquered the catwalk and built a globalfashion empire. a grammarschool girl from glossop in derbyshire, vivienne westwood was a would—be revolutionary who both shocked and inspired, transforming british fashion. the trousers all come with a little loincloth on the back. everybody wants to know what that is for. it is just a loincloth, just a gesture.

her empire started here, a shop on london's kings road. she, along with her creative partner malcolm mclaren, dressed the sex pistols and made bondage gear and swastika trousers fashion must—haves. i think it is very sane for young people to be angry. and that is what we were doing, and i wanted this look of an urban guerrilla, and that is what we were after. in the �*80s, she moved from london to the paris catwalks, initially with mclaren, and then on her own. the fashionistas loved her. you have to go where you have to go. you have to do what you have to do, and i certainly don't want to be underground. i want to be at a place the most focused that i can find. she used traditional fabrics such as harris tweed and designs from the history books. the supermodels of the day wanted to show for her, even when asked to walk in nine—inch platforms.

this fall only added to naomi campbell's fame. laughter. the general public found some of her designs somewhat baffling. ms westwood was bemused by this reaction from this television audience in the late �*80s. if they don't stop laughing, i shall tell the next person not to come on. oh, dear. you're not to laugh! so many of her ideas ended up on the high street, it was she who would have the last laugh. and she was notjust passionate about clothing, she regularly used her profile to push causes she supported. this tank would end up outside david cameron's house. i declare war on fracking! ever the rebel, she chose not to wear any knickers while receiving her obe from the queen. that did not stop her being made a dame in 2006. when sex and the city's iconic character carrie bradshaw needed a wedding dress, she turned to vivienne westwood. my maxim — if in doubt, dress up. don't ever dress down, you will be so disappointed.

her influence as a designer spanned five decades. she was both a commercial and critical success, managing to rise up the ranks of the establishment without abandoning her antiestablishment credentials. i'm joined now by zak maoui, he's style editor at british gq magazine. thank you so much forjoining us here on bbc news. what do you think made dame vivienne westwood stand out? i made dame vivienne westwood stand out? ., �* ~' made dame vivienne westwood stand out? ., �* ~ ., out? i don't think her impact on the fashion industry _ out? i don't think her impact on the fashion industry is _ out? i don't think her impact on the fashion industry is measurable - out? i don't think her impact on the fashion industry is measurable by l fashion industry is measurable by any means i don't think what you could put what she is done in a single book she put punk on the catwalk she took it to the mainstream. she did it at a time when fashion wasn't stuffy and not really doing anything like that so he came as a shock not only to the

industry but those outside of it and she do it it with ace playfulness. what will be her lasting legacy is that she did everything with salinas and there was a serious depth to it. —— silliness. she fought for animal—rights everything should be on the catwalk was part of her big mission and that was to save the planet whether that was through her fight against climate change, like when you said she turned up to david cameron's house against tracking. everything she did came with a mission statement and it was not just about designing clothes for her which i think something that we had not seen in the 80s and 90s with other designers she had really put that on the map for future generations of designers. what do you may collect legacy will be?

before bakker wasn't there was really no one doing what she was doing using designs to make a statement. i was lucky enough to go to a show of hers and she got on stage and saying about how we were ruining the planet. that is unlike anything because fashion shows are usually over in three minutes. a nonprofit organisation will continue her fight nonprofit organisation will continue herfight and preaching nonprofit organisation will continue her fight and preaching for what she wanted, the end of war, the end of climate change and all the things that she fought for.— climate change and all the things that she fought for. thank you very much for talking _ that she fought for. thank you very much for talking to _ that she fought for. thank you very much for talking to us. _ let's return to our top story.... one of the greatest footballers of all time, pele, has died in brazil at the age of eighty—two, prompting tributes

from around the world. the brazilian government has declared three days of national mourning. pele's wake will be held on monday at the santos football club ground where he played for most of his career. thousands of people have begun arriving in the area to pay their respects to the former champion. much more on pele pots that on the bbc website. so many tributes being paid for politicians, players past and present and also pendants who of course have all of those incredible statistics at their fingertips that pele is credited with. 81 goals and over 600 appearances in a 20 plus year career. the only player to win

the world cup three times lifting the world cup three times lifting the trophy in 1958, 1962 and 1970. pele was named fifa's player of the century in the year 2000. hello there. after a day of sunshine and blustery showers on thursday, the winds are still going to be quite strong on friday. and we've got more rain heading our way as well. and that could be bringing some flooding issues in one or two places. have a look at the satellite picture from earlier on. you can see all that cloud that's been pushing in from the atlantic, thickening up. and these weather fronts, areas of low pressure, strengthening the winds and bringing rain into many western and northern parts of the uk. it's notjust rain around though, because in northern scotland it's cold enough in the hills to find some more snow falling could be as much as 20 centimetres, perhaps some heavier rain briefly across northern ireland, but it could be even wetter across southern parts of scotland. a couple of inches or more of rain

in here in the south of the country. we've got this amber rain warning from the met office. given how wet it's been recently, more rain is likely to bring some flooding and travel disruption. we've got rain notjust in scotland and northern ireland, but pushing eastwards quickly across england and wales on those stronger winds. you can see how most of that weather moves away for the afternoon, brightening up from the west with some sunshine showers coming into northern ireland and southern scotland and turning drier across northern parts of the country, perhaps later as well. here it's going to be quite chilly. four degrees in stornoway, 13, though, in london, another mild day for england and wales and mild again on saturday. but there is more rain at times and that rain could be a bit steadier and heavier in the south for a while. maybe some patchy rain across southern scotland and northern ireland. some sunshine further north, but a few wintry showers in the far north of the country. and again, those temperatures contrast cold in northern scotland, very mild in east anglia in the south east, 15 degrees here. we've got more rain now to come if you are going to be out celebrating the new year with low pressure and a number of weather fronts.

and the details keep changing as we head into new year's day, we've now got some wetter weather pushing further north across northern ireland and northwards into scotland. and again, it's going to be cold enough for some sleet and snow over the hills. for england and wales. there may be some sunshine at times, but rain is never too far away and it could be on the heavy side. another mild day, though, across more southern parts of england and wales. temperatures 12 degrees, so fairly mild for many parts of the country over the new year. but there will be more wet weather around may turn a bit drier for the start of next week, but it may turn a little bit chillier as well.
