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 his people also came out to urban oh caldera stadium, home to pay, lace former football club santos, rio 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 hulu is 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 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 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. talk about him is 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 lights up a room. he wanted to get to know every one he wanted to check to every one he. i think he loved being a king yet such a warm personality and warm way about him. he wanted everyone to feel this boom. he had a lot more to certainly came through. i'm sure there are lots of nuggets to choose from, but what in his biography, did you find most compelling think we actually found most we we look for that because he had 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 was injured. elaine was the fact

that, well, i think we all remember telling off nice in 70, that was the tournament stamped his legacy stamped his legacy and may present what it is that the country dropped more so than even like a teenager. but i think what we didn't realize was this genuine child wouldn't lie in 70 retired from the national team. we played for brazil and they had to coax in back. i have $970.00, i have no service. we took vitamins, 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. like we have to remember the area we 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 with this incredible smile. he looked amazing. he was incredibly a debt to proving these iconic moments on the big stage. you know, he would storm well 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 debates. i think one thing that always a comparison point, you know, we just say, you know, then chris marabella been messing around over there always been. i think the one thing we can always say whether he's the greatest or not other people to decide . but he was the 1st he was overseas, neil armstrong, he would no one can follow in his footsteps if it's possible to even articulate 2nd

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 largely down to one man like well said documentary director david trying on many, many things. it's got a round up of some of the other world headlines now. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says most of his country is without power. after russia launched one of its largest aerial attacks of the war, 3 people were killed and 6 wounded. in thursday's attacks. the damage residential buildings and critical infrastructure across the country. the vatican says the former pope benedict remains gravely ill but is stable and lucid. pope francis has called for prayers for the 95 year old. the former pontiff is receiving

a round the clock care as concerns grow over his condition. oblivion court has ordered opposition leader, louise, fernando camacho, remain in detention for the 6 months before his trial. tensions have escalated between camacho supporters and the government after he was charged with terrorism charges relate to his alleged goal in the 2019 resignation of then president able moran rescue. teams in cambodia are searching for more bodies after a massive fire killed at least 19 people on wednesday. the blaze at the grand diamond city hotel casino rates for 12 hours before fire fighters could bring it under control. many people are still missing. amir and more military court has sentence ousted civilian leader on sun sushi to a further 7 years in prison. she has been convicted of corruption in what is the

last of the string of criminal cases against her. this leaves her with a total jail time of 33 years. so she has been under house arrest since a military coup, ousted her democratically elected government in 2021 for supporters. shay, the charges are politically motivated. i spoke earlier with phil roberts and at human rights watch in bangkok. i asked him what this verdict means 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 to we will not see her again. and she is considered to be the pre eminent political threats to the military coup government. she some one who was one of 2 national elections by landslide, most recently in november 2020, which was the government that was all overthrown in the school. and i think that they are putting her away from good. they're going to locker away in

a prison and maybe daughter 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 and 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 occur 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 were against the military government that you know, their champion has been put away for 33 years, which at her age an age 77 is a life sentence that is, fil robertson. in bangkok many, many thanks, phil. one of the most important cultural events in africa is finally back after
