this is the last public photo of diego. armando bought a donor after a successful brain operation early november. he'd been visibly ill for some time. he was the coach for a top argentinian team, but the 60 year old was having trouble staying on his feet. marathon i grew up in a pole suburb of corn as it is. his rise to stardom was meaty, are his goals spectacular? the striker with the number 10 shirt had his career highlight at the 986 world cup in mexico. he dribbled his way through, confused and helpless. defensive lines. his hand assisted goal against england will go down in history. marathoner later, mischievously called it the hand of god. he became a national hero in argentina. but after the great rise came the fall, he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for years. after his brain surgery, he was going through detox, but marathoner suffered
8:03 am
a heart attack. the magical and talented marathoner will now receive a state funeral fitting for one of the greatest footballers, if not the greatest of all time. well, just how many lives on the touch that came abundantly clear in the hours and mediately after news of his death brought thousands of stunned football fans in argentina, spain and italy poured on to the streets to on and celebrate their light. the identity and government has declared 3 days of national mourning and to further underline the impact of the man, even the pope expressed his solver celebration of the life to honor the death of a hero. tyson's a fans gathered at the oval eskin when his aires, in commemoration of the football great void, very,
8:04 am
very sad. i have no words to describe such pain. i think a boy who has some love for their set go to his debt. the legend of marriage on a is global victory, exploring the reason that he was a superstar. he was truly great, and he is especially remembered in the cities where he played like barcelona michel when i came to visit enough to know him just well. since i was born, maradona was always a presence. he was a god for the whole world in a fishbowl or he was the best of the best bar. 6 in naples with the fans and won't forget the 2 italian championships, they won during maradona's time in their city. but out

8:06 am
a lot into that. but i think it really what he, what he was was an example of what you can achieve. it was a guy who grew up in a vicious shanty town in overwhelming poverty is you know, stated aim was he wanted to play in order to buy a house for his model, which obviously he did and then some. and i think really what he did was break through a ceiling back to 64. and the worldwide fame, chiva obviously shows that talent was appreciated well by and i think really will go into a period now, if you will, a grief of almost everyone that learned his family. you know, diego was a genuine man, and that's very true is someone who spoke his mind always, no matter what trouble it got him self in. and i think you know, in terms of his coaching career, his legacy will not be so strong. but the memories that he's forged, i mean he took argentina in his chosen sport to as high as they could possibly go. and i think those, that kind of, that kind of achievement will never quite be matched on the same level. given the
8:07 am
way that the way that he played in the way that he was an inspiring, i mean everyone wanted to watch. i was german journalist james granger from one is here is speaking earlier to w. ok. here are some of the other stories making headlines this hour. hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets in chile to support legislation, allowing them to withdraw up to 10 percent of their pension funds, early position would help in cope with the current economic crisis. chile's unemployment rate has tripled during the pandemic. hundreds of protesters have marched through the colombian capital of bogota on in, on the international day for the elimination of violence against women. there were similar rallies around the globe to demand justice for gender. crimes of the latin american countries taking pot include europe, why, chile, mexico, and peru u.s. president donald trump has pardoned. former national security advisor michael flynn . flynn had pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about interactions he had with russia's ambassador to the u.s.
8:08 am
. he was the highest profile pod granted by trump. since he took office you're watching data. 1000000000 news still to come. we speak to the great photographer who's created a very special body of work documenting the lives and journeys of people, forced to flee their homelands. prime minister says the army has been ordered to move on the capital of the no, give them take right region in what he's calling the final phase of the offensive some half a 1000000. residents of the capital mckinley have been warned to stay indoors. the move comes just hours after an ultimatum expired for regional leaders to saranda to the central government. the u.n. is warning, it is running low on essential supplies for the nearly 1000000 people who have been displaced by the conflict. this baby boy is just 2 weeks old. the newborn
8:09 am
doesn't even have a name yet, but he's already been through much more than he should have. and i gave birth in the hope that is it with no one to help me. his mother says, she says people brought her in the baby to a refugee camp and that she's been waiting for help for 2 weeks. many people here have similar stories and there are new arrivals every day. more than 40000, people have fled the fighting in the ethiopian region of teague right across the border into sudan. people have come in all sorts of conditions with absolutely nothink. no money, no more clothes, no food, no contact with people. never enough. everyone here off guard to help, so it's a painful 1st few, few days and weeks. it's hard to get a true sense of what's happening on the ground in haiti, gride, some reports speak of thousands of people dead, but this is difficult to verify because of an internet blackout restricted media access and blocked telephone lines. ethiopian government troops are said to have
8:10 am
surrounded the provincial capital, mckayla, and i threatening a major offensive if the leaders of the tea gripe people's liberation front do not surrender. ethiopia's prime minister ahmed who won the nobel peace prize last year doesn't appear to be pushing for a peaceful solution. he's demanded the international community, stay out of the conflict. the highly aggressive rhetoric on both sides regarding the fight for me, kenny is dangerously provocative and it risks placing already vulnerable and frightened civilians in grave danger over the border in sudan, those who made it out of just trying to get by the young mother who recently gave birth hopes her child going to be forced to grow up in a refugee camp. or german chancellor angela merkel is set to outline new measures to curb the spread of coronavirus in the next hour. thankfully the extension of a partial lockdown until at least december 20th or thirty's. here are concerned as
8:11 am
the numbers of new infections in germany has failed to drop significantly, and the number of deaths has reached a new high new infection rate just still not falling fast enough. that's why the german government is tightening restrictions. no, in a bed to save christmas, the country's most important family holiday. we need another big effort. patience, solidarity, and discipline will be put to the taste once again. social contacts will be tightened until december 20th, only 5 people from 2 different households can gather privately. recommend dijon already. know it's a rule. children under 14 are exempt. the hope is that staying a part no will allow families to come together over christmas and new year in groups of 10. schools will stay open in december. but holidays will start
8:12 am
a few days early this year to allow families to quarantine before festivities begin . the much loved tradition of new year's eve will also be limited with a ban on fire, what displays in busy streets and squares. the idea is to avoid big parties in cripes the holiday period shouldn't become a risk when we start into the new year in january. we want to still be at the level we've achieved with all these precautionary measures. including the states can tighten measures depending on regional and local infection rates. leaders will meet again mid december. and if infection numbers don't go down, the measures could be extended through january. and for more on this, let's bring in a political correspondent in the states where fighting off nichols hardline before
8:13 am
the meeting, but it appears that caution has won the day exactly. markets on there go see asians once again, some saying chance of dying alone, america is no stranger to and also a logical consequence of the federal system. much of the decision making is left to the state premiers. so even if i go america would have liked a tougher stance, more restriction as well. she aligned with what the safe, i mean is a hobby in mind. there was one bone of contention schools, especially among the premier, is that was regarding ma, screws and closures both those state primaries and the chancellor came to new agreements. so given how tough this negotiations were, how real is the prospect that the lockdown will be expanded? well, into the new year. well, these will all depend on the state of things by the end of this year. as the chancellor and the state premiers will revive it, reevaluate the situation every 2 weeks to go, has always been to reduce the number of daily infections under oath 50 infections, perhaps 3000 inobvious and said uncle america,
8:14 am
we might do it again yesterday. that hard to remain vigilant, how to keep the flying social these 10 seeing wearing modest washing hands. those other things out won't change anytime soon. so the restaurants and bars we know to be open before the end of the year. so no socializing and courage are possible into that. in fact, the government edition of the president of the 17000000000 euros package for this sector looks like. but the states in the federal government applying a white whiting for the vaccine, have negotiations begun behind the scenes here within germany as to who gets the vaccine 1st. well, you know, it is being a vaccination strategic elaborated way in advance. even before we had positive news, a box of about a vaccine has minister, young spano warned time and again that at 1st there will only be a limited supply of a vaccine time for production to catch up to pick up. so we'll see a 2 phases, vaccinations to t.g.
8:15 am
. there will be vaccination senses being set so they expected to be operational within a few weeks now and a vulnerable people will be vaccinated there. 1st and through mobile teams also. and in a 2nd phase, once a vaccine will be more broadly available, then the general population will benefit from it. so there was still be months of vision and so had before everybody's more or less protective. there was a lot of, you know, who's head of the cohen city to each handles a pandemic. and so many, we not, not out of the woods yet. they did lose political correspondent and i know she has, thanks so much. and an important note here is the german chancellor will be addressing parliament on the new coronavirus measures. in the next hour. we'll have live coverage of that when it happens. i'm moving on and as the coronavirus continues to surge across the us. health officials are warning that thursday's thanksgiving holiday could become a national super spread, a vent after more than 8 months of social distancing. many eager to get home for
8:16 am
family, family gatherings, and millions have already taken to roads, rails, and skies. but with it travel down significantly from the same time last year, it's clear many others heeding the warnings to stay home and celebrations. small, well thanksgiving also marks the start of the most important time of the year for retailers who via for shoppers attention with hefty black friday discounts on and off line. it could be a somber season for many bookstores, though, who's challenging battle against online competition has only been made more difficult by the pandemic. downtown washington d.c. seems deserted. employees of the many think tanks, banks, and international institutions based in the u.s. capital, are working from home before the pandemic, at least 15000 passengers took the metros redlined to work every day. these days it's just 1500. that's one reason why small shops in the city center are losing
8:17 am
customers. like this antiquarian bookstore, washington, it's become a virtual ghost town. 90 percent of all for traffic has ended between people not coming in the worship or communities, not going on the street. and there's absolutely no tourism, which was part of our general sales. every allan's type extort had to shut for 6 months, government coronavirus assistance and able to him to keep his 40 employees. and his landlord kindly lowered his rent for a time. but that's no long term solution. so he's had to rely on his internet business. we have $25000.00 books on amazon. and amazon is one of our income platform streams that runs co, hourly with our perks and mortar stores. and they're reasonably be internet was seen as one of the biggest threat to these small businesses that the pandemic is now a much greater evil. small bookstores are among the biggest losers due to the lock
8:18 am
down. and internet giants like amazon among the biggest winners. last quarter, the internet retail giant posted a profit of more than $6000000000.00, the largest in the company's 26 year history. that makes booksellers like allen stripe, all the more to pendent on amazon, back it continue even after a lockdown, since there's no guarantee that customers will come back to stores. or pro-democracy demonstrators in thailand have been out in force again in recent days . they're calling for political reforms, but they're also demanding changes to the monarchy to make it more accountable. many complain the excessively lavish lifestyle of king by have a year long corn. but the king is also causing disquiet here in germany. that's because he spends most of his time in a hotel in bavaria. some politicians say he may be breaking the law by conducting state affairs of another country. for months,
8:19 am
pro-democracy protesters in thailand have been trying to send a message to the king. reform our country and your monarchy. but the man they were dressing has often been absent thousands of kilometers away. in fact, while protests right on the streets of bangkok, the time monarch spent much of his time in germany, in a luxury hotel in the southern berrien alps. his extended stays in the quaint area, have put the german government in a bind. berlin has been trying to determine whether the king conduct state affairs from has been very and hide away. the foreign minister has stated that that would be a deal breaker for germany's hospitality of the us . i obviously, i'm also watching the thai kings behavior in germany with not just been monitoring this in recent weeks. we are monitoring this long term. there are things that we
8:20 am
consider to be illegal. there will be immediate consequences as consequences. but that's easier said than done a parliamentary investigation has found that germany has a limited legal options because the king enjoys diplomatic protections like other visiting heads of state, even if it's their own private business. it's called frustration among lawmakers who commissioned the research, the left party saving data, len had this to say on twitter. anyone you like the thai king along with the military junta, brutally knocks down the democracy movement. shouldn't be rewarded with a visa for luxurious, long term stay in germany by the federal government. it appears germany has just one option to take action against the king. and that's using a decades old international treaty on diplomatic relations. parliamentary researches said berlin can declare the king
8:21 am
a persona non-grata or an exceptional person and expel him from the country. but that option was described as a last resort. it also carries the risk of a diplomatic escalation of the political drama that germany wanted. no part in the was so now there's less pressure on german politicians. in mid october, the king returned to thailand to the joy of his royalists, supporters. his critics are hoping he'll finally address their grievances and not return to his hideaway in the bavarian mountains. many germany are hoping for this thing. when more europe's biggest refugee camp went off in flying in september, magnum photographer, and recently i was there to capture if someone has been documenting the lives of asylum seekers for years, he's working,

greece puts human faces to stories of desperation at a time when the approaching winter and the continuing coronavirus crisis makes the situation of unsettled migrants even more precarious. the knave. a few days before a new coated 1000 lockdown took effect and read sun, i was out taking photos. victoria square has become a makeshift home for many migrants who fled the fire on the island of moria. they've been granted asylum seekers status because he says new asylum laws mean they're left to their own devices. they're no longer entitle to any government support or shelter making their situation even worse. sinai has been documenting their fates for years. and he can relate to them because when he was a child, he and his family fled albania, and lived for a time without documentation in athens. the magnum photographer has made refugees and migrants the focus of his work. when fire broke out at the camp in moria,
8:23 am
he headed there mama, i remember the exhaustion and the fear in their eyes. but i also saw hope there that moria would finally be over and it would finally get better. like the day after the fire, one of the girls i photographed the 12 year old manager from afghanistan, organized a protest march. first, there were just 20 other children, but then the march will be bigger. people just wanted off the island with its of look after the photographer is a kind of anchor for some here, like masha also from afghanistan by this masses will be far fewer than a bomb. and when i told her that i'd be leaving again in a few days, she suddenly turned to me and said, before you leave, say goodbye to us, borders,

8:26 am
the creators say the inspiration is all around the one i was when i travelled by minibus taxi, i noticed people eating chocolates, my lunch bar one. when i realized there is a good idea, you tried making a milkshake mixing all of those together with peanut butter. crunch or bar one to make that, and it's delicious. with the customers having sampled the shakes, you can take their word for it too. but i guess i'm drinking a chocolate peppermint milkshake. and they've got one of the biggest varieties of milkshakes in the world. and i think it's amazing that every time we come there is so much to choose from. you can try something different each time. so it's really nice for me. so with what's on offer, there's a flavor for every sweet tooth. and a reminder of the top story we're following for you this hour. people of argentina
