Donna, whos died of a heart attack at the age of 60 weeks after emergency brain surgery regarded as one of the greatest of nosey greatest player of all time. He captained argentina to victory in the 1986 world cup, rather than also enjoyed Great Success in Club Football. But off the pitch, he had a turbulent private life. Theyve had stokes looks back on his career. He, infamously referred to a hand of god, and the unique gifts of diego, amanda omeara donner appeared to come from a higher force born in 1960 and raised in a shanty town on the outskirts of one a set is he became their National Hero and a Global Football superstar is impacting Club Football meant he was playing for his country as a teenager, a prolific creator and score a goal. Just 1. 65 meters, tall, stocky, and powerful. His skill and balance made him unstoppable. The 986 world cup was his time. Marathon of the player, the man encapsulated in an unforgettable quarter final against england. Firstly, what he was to call the hand of god, punching the ball into the net. Then a 2nd goal of scarcely believe a ball quality to many the greatest individual goal in world cup history. Maraton his argentina went on to lift that world cup in mexico. A good team made great by one player. 4 years later, they lost the trophy as west germany gained revenge in the final. But marat dano was thriving in Club Football in europe for barcelona in the early eightys. Then napoli in italy who he took to their 1st, ever italian titles, and where he is still treated as a favorite son of the field, there was turbulence. He was addicted to cocaine and was banned from both club and International Football for failed drug tests. One of which ended his 994. 00 world cup. In 2004, he spent time in intensive care after a heart attack and his weight fluctuated during battles with addiction. He had 2 daughters through his marriage that ended in divorce, and a son born outside the marriage as well. Diego junior, the peoples choice managed his country at the 2010 world cup. He defied many critics until the quarter final defeat against germany. Again. He dipped in an ounce of coke by the germans as well. In 28 team, he took over the mexican 2nd division club, the rod us dissin aloa. But it wasnt long before you return to argentina to lead top flight team, give no seattle a platter. In true maraton a style. He stepped down after only 2 months in charge, only to rejoin again. 2 days later. His last public appearance was at a game on his 60th birthday, where he appeared frail and left at half time. A few days later, he was admitted to hospital initially with anemia and dehydration. But things quickly escalated and he needed surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain. The operation went well, but he never recovered. Whether marathoner is the greatest ever footballer is open to debate, but his incredible talent and contribution to the games history make him a phenomenon. Well, tennis of all joins us live now from the argentinian capital of when the sole intent is that obviously a shock, perhaps not a surprise to many people who had been following a Diego Maradonas life. How is the news going down there in argentina and south . Well, as you just said, the country is in shock and the news are slowly started to sink in. That deal might have or not. Is that a man whos been in a way, struggling health wise for the past few years that many in a way were suspected that Something Like this could happen. It was all paraded, he received a brain surgery about 2 weeks ago. He had a clot in his brain, he was recovering not far away from where we are outside the center of one of scientists. And he died of a heart attack earlier this morning. And its much more than a Football Player for argentina. Hes in a way, a National Hero, a man for example, that represents much of what argentina is a man that came from extreme poverty that played in the most important clubs in the world that helped argentina win a world cup that scored 2 goals against england during the world cup after a very painful war between argentina and invent a man who also be friended left wing leaders in latin america sense chess, castro, who also died on november 25th, 4 years ago, a close friend of the able. But i dont know. I was also a friend of chavis for example. Now a personal friend of president nicolas my daughter from venezuela. Its not why it is such a shocking news for a country such as this one. A president got a call from and this has declared 3 days of mourning in order to honor the legacy. He said that bill mother never presented argentina around the world and about the world needs to honor him today. And of course, a relatively young age, only 60 and i guess the peaks of his career will always be the 1906 world cup in mexico. And to some extent the italian 90 as well. So i guess all the argentinians will know all about him and obviously remember him. But what about younger argentinians when young boys and girls in argentina play football . Do you think they still know and admire the way that their parents perhaps too well thats a very good question because many of young people know who dont. I actually like much more. See another star from the argentinas football squad. However, my dad or not has a very special role here in argentina, mostly because of the world cup a world cup. Where as i said before, he scored 2 goals against england. Even though those goals were in quarterfinals, they were crucial for argentina because this happened after a war, a painful war. Well, argentina was during a military dictatorship when argentina lost against england, im a lover things and thats why in a way the hall has a special place in argentina and hearts and minds also. And whats important to know is that for most origin times when you talk to them, they will not have an ever present what argentina would like to be. Is that place where argentines with facing many struggles and economic struggles like were facing today . Well, they compare themselves to what i dont, i dont, i was a great player and he actually made it to the top in spite of all the problems that he had. So yes, the younger generations know who belong, what i dont i, yes, they respect him. We were just seeing some images from the poor neighborhood where, where he grew up, where young boys are wearing his teachers and theyre right outside there alongside their parents. And they say that they will, but i dont act as a crucial place in argentinas history to disappear with the latest there from what i think you well, thats the latest from what ive done as native argentina. But he was equally popular in the telling city of naples, thanks to his incredibly successful spell with the citys club. Not fully supporters are out on the streets, mourning the deaths of the man regarded as an adopted son of the city. What is going to help to napoli when there are only 2 Italian League titles in 19871990 described is that as a devastating blow for both the city and the club the 72 hour deadline, ethiopia gave 40 grand forces to surrender, has past Prime Minister. Ive made, gave to t. Great Peoples Liberation front until 1630 g. M. T. This just over 2 and a half hours ago to lay down their weapons or braced for all of the assault. The Ethiopian Army is threatening to use its artillery on the regional capital of macula, a, a city of 500000 people, and the news agency in a neighboring region says more than 10000, t. P. S. Left troops have been quote destroyed. Although the internet and phone blackout in t. Great makes this hard to to verify. Well, is that that line approach to be a rejected demands for dialogue and urged the International Community not to interfere. Despite that warning, former president of mozambique liberia and south africa were due to arrive in this of about on wednesday this batch by the African Union to broker talks. Well, degree of leaders are denying claims base e. O. P. That their fighters have been surrendering al jazeera as a surprise. It is in tikrit province. We have translated his exclusive report from arabic. On the right front line in Southern Federal reinforcements arrive and helicopters, hover above fools. As the Ethiopian Government has maintained that this is a Law Enforcement operation against what it calls a treasonous group. Then it isnt. I dont know much about our morale is high. Were ready to enforce the rule of law for the sake of the fallen. We will prevail over those who had betrayed them. We have another mission, namely to safeguard the renaissance dam until its fully completed and operational. This building has been set up to receive fighters from the Peoples Liberation front, whove surrendered ahead of Prime Minister abi admits wednesday deadline for the t. P. Left to put down its weapons. Government forces here say this man was among those who surrendered. We are being treated well. We are not enemies, we are all fellow ethiopians. We are all brothers.

As fighting continues in northern ethiopia for a 3rd consecutive week, the team leader has reiterated his rejection of the ultimatum and says his fighters will continue their struggle against the federal government until the end with on the other side of the battlefield. In mecca, the t. V. Says its standing its ground and that its fighters are ready to die, defending and its right to govern itself. There are conflicting claims of victory on both sides and a communication blackout in the region makes it difficult to verify information. The Prime Minister has met, as said, this operation will end when the t. P. O. Left, who he accuses of destabilizing the country and undermining his leadership, are brought to justice. The province in Northern Lights came on. The latest developments from al can lead in that nie of robey, as so malcolm that that line has passed 2 and a half hours, any idea of what might be happening now in tigray . The renault reports of fighting from mikhail a so far neither has there been any statement from the government about the offensive, from the federal government in the capital, addis ababa, but the federal government, and Prime Minister abu ahmed had issued this ultimatum on sunday. They gave the green forces 3 days to lay down their arms and the government had said that its tanks and artillery had surrounded the city that were about 50 kilometers away and ready for this assault that the to grow in military leadership actually disputed these claims and because the phone lines in the internet are being cut off for weeks, very little access to the area is very difficult to, to verify any of these claims and counterclaims. But what we have seen in satellite imagery is in the city of mackay, which is home to about a half a 1000000 people. You see queues of vehicles lining up at fuel stations. Which would suggest that possibly theres rationing of fuel or a shortage of fuel, which could easily have resulted from the conflict in the insecurity on the roads connecting the city over the last 3 weeks. With the latest there from there will be about them saying you well, meanwhile, ethiopias government has pulled 3 soldiers of the grain in this city, out of a United Nations peacekeeping mission in south sudan.

We are still expecting to hear him now. Obviously a day before thanksgiving. What kind of tone do you think is going to strike unity and hope and shared sacrifice . As you mention, clearly another attempt, another chance for biden 2 to differentiate himself from president trump. As you mentioned, clearly will also be a major theme theme. In the speech we understand and the Transition Team is now receiving briefings, and we understood that they were received briefings on 4 separate areas, in particular, covert 19 vaccine distribution, the operation speed. So that for covert production, stockpiles and testing the supply chain for p. P. For p. P. The, for the current state of testing in the United States. And these are the 4 priorities that weve had for some time now from the Transition Team about how biden is going to attack the pandemic. Once he, once he assumes office and part of that is through flooding, the u. S. With p p e. Through the defense production act that is centralizing the manufacture of foot personal protective equipment and the distribution of person. A person protective equipment no longer. This idea that each state each organization has to fight amongst each other to find to find a supply. Similarly with testing, this is key. They keep saying that the team keeps saying that they want to go after asymptomatic carriers. So therefore, they want to really ramp up the production of testing against, again, perhaps using the defense production act to ramp up everything thats needed to test as many people as possible. But the problem is, goes with this surge that were having right now. That the manufacturing might have to might have to look at, you know, might have other priorities and testing. So there are real concerns now because its thanksgiving because we are seeing americans travel for thanksgiving anyway. That there is likely to be another surge in a few weeks time off covert infection even though even as we experienced a surge right now.

And when they lent what happened to my daughter, they said that they were proud of my struggle to save the economy. Is that the situation is worsening. Right now, jule independent gender violence has increased. We believe the root of all of these is a national, the authorities did apathy. They know wanting to work for women. Yes, even was. But we decided together with other women to occupy the building. On september the 4th, the building has been converted into a shelter for women who are victims of violence with the children. They can come here without being judged. On the contrary, they are left because we as speak to understand them all of these changes, you and you have 2 options. You either stay at home crying or you go out and fight. I realized that if you want to change things, you have to go out, go out and burn things, break things, go out and scream.

It is a pinpointing the finances of the wealth of the king. This is something that theyve really focused on in their overall movement. In fact, its one of the 3 main demands that theres a reform within the monarchy. They originally wanted to go to a very sensitive area, but the security footprint was such that they decided they needed to move it here to make their point and their music making the point here because the king owns 23 percent, the largest shareholder in see him pushing back again, the headquarters right here, and its also very different because if they were to have gone to that original location, the security around there was very, very, very tight. It could have been a much different scene. The overseeing of this is much more like a night market than a protest, but there have been speeches going after the king and his well, the 30000000000. 00 it decimated. That is what he did. 2 years ago, implemented in god that gave him all the control of the crowns money. So that is something the protesters want to order.
