resolve each sweden in the 1968 world tough line, won the competition again in 1962 and a 3rd time in 1970, where his mesmerizing play cemented his iconic standards for many in brazil and around the world. he was much more than a sportsman, sal paolo's, albert einstein hospital where football legend paley passed away. his fans gathered outside to bid farewell and mourn the loss of the man. brazilians, called the king, for samuel manager, i came to pay my respects. my good bye come, or in fact, the king never dies. for me, he did not die. i came to pay my respects somehow managing it. people also came out to urban o caldera stadium home to pay lace former football club. santos rios, statue of christ. the redeemer was lit up in his honor and tributes were laid

outside mira canal stadium. for me, with a book of the loop as other for me, soccer is in morning. we had our defeat, brazil lost the world cars, filica and we have the news of the death of our king little and was a deal. but life goes on are very sad, was my but pele was history. a legend thought on landon hello number 10, o is the football great. also inspired athletes in other sports, a orgy ice cream. but he had a great impact on athletes in general that everyone wanted to be the palais in their sport. it became a joke. i think i did a brazil is now beginning 3 days of morning for a footballer who transcended the game. earlier i spoke with david trying horn, the director of the netflix documentary pele. he shared some of his personal memories of the footballing legend with us. i was very lucky and privileged,

i guess, an honors to spend quite a bit of time with him. i originally met him 15 years ago, i think from the filming. and then again, it's lisa and then we did a big film with him from netflix. lou terry was an absolute gentleman. so i was a great player. i'm a great man and he was a great man. he would come into the room and in that period he was already a little bit physically incapacitated, but he would light up a room. he wants to get to know every one he wants to check to every one he. i think he loved being a king yet such a warm personality and a warm way about him. he wanted everyone to feel this boom. he had a thing that was certainly came through. i'm sure there are lots of nuggets to choose from, but what in his biography did you find most compelling we actually found most we look for to see how this career that was just one big high

we were actually looking for the lows with it and it was very, very difficult to find. so i think what we found much interest. elaine was the fact that i think we all remember probably now 1970. that was the tournament stamped his legacy stamped his legacy and may present what it is today. the country probably more so than even like a teenager. but i think what we didn't realize was this genuine child wouldn't play in 70 retire from the national fed up. we played brazil and they had to coax in back with 1970. i know we talk about it and say that without question pele was an iconic footballer, but people say he transcended the sport. and i imagine you agree definitely trying to send it to school. and i can't remember the area he came up through. you know, this was the bus, the football as big business, this is the football as

a commercial and in many ways. and i was the 1st looking super stop. and you've got this guy who fell in love with me as well. this incredible smile. he looked amazing and he was incredibly proving these iconic moments on the big stage. you know, he would storm woke up finals never go missing on those big, big occasions. i think he just came along the right times. the sport needed someone like that and he was the 1st to come along and be the super stop. so i think often we'll have to buy who's the greatest or something off. really wanted to get into some cross generational debate. i think one thing would always pay for comparison point, you know, we just, you know, then chris marabella that message renowned over there always been. i think the one thing we can always say whether he's the greatest or not the people to decide.

but he was the 1st he was out of the alarm from he would no one can follow in his footsteps if it's possible to even articulate such a thing in 20 seconds. what's his legacy? i think his legacy more than anything, is different. his country before 958 because it wasn't, wasn't the country pull off the 970. it became the country. we all know brazil today is such a large down. one man, like well said, documentary director david trying on many, many things a mere nor military court has sentence ousted civilian leader on son, sued she to a further 7 years in prison. she has been convicted of corruption in what is the last of a string of criminal cases against her. this leaves her with a total jail time of 33 years to t has been under house arrest since the military coup outside her democratically elected government in 2021 supporters say the charges or politically motivated

for more, i am joy now bite phil robertson, deputy director, asia division, human rights watch in bangkok, thailand. phil, what does this verdict tell us about the military hunter's plans for sushi and other opposition figures? while for sushi, there are locking the door and throwing away the key. they want to keep her in prison and i expect that we will not see her again. but she is considered to be the pre eminent political threat to the military coup government. she someone who has 12 national elections by landslide, most recently in november 2020, which was the government that was all overthrown in this school. and i think that they are putting her away from good. they're going to a locker away in a prison and maybe dog remote administrative capital of the country and keep her away from her supporters and from lawyers and from others. and you know,

she will become a hostage hosted for democracy in myanmar. have we seen any response from her or her supporters while she is being kept in incommunicado and even her lawyers are not allowed to speak to the media or anyone else about her case or face criminal sanction? her supporters, i think, will be making plans to somehow demonstrate an object to what has happened to her, but of course they face a violent crack down if they do so. and so it's quite clear that the military is trying to keep her away from her supporters to try to keep news about her out of any sort of discussion within the country. right now, is there a viable political opposition in miramar? well, there certainly is. i mean, what's gonna happen is that the, the ongoing efforts by both the non violent cdm movement and

also the people's defense forces which are violently contesting against the military will continue. they will just continue without her and without the national league for democracy her party, which i think is be increasingly sidelined as well. the, the situation is one where the, the push and paul, the sort of tug of war between the military and the people will continue. and this is not change as a result of her arrest. but it will certainly add fuel to the fire of her supporters who are against the military government that you know, their champion has been put away for 33 years, which at her age at age 77 is a life sentence that is, fil robertson. in bangkok many, many thanks, phil. thank you. let's get a round up of some other world headlines now. ukrainian president, a lot of his zalinski says, most of his country is without power. after russia launch,
