Born in 1960, he grew up with his 7 siblings in via fiorito, a poor neighborhood in the Southern Suburbs of bonna cyrus.

See 3 of you very, very sad, very sad day from now on. I think that you told it recently with the legend. What about the water though . Now from now on, it would be a legend says euro cinderellas jordan eastern engineer and whatever. I want to remember him inside the tree is inside making inroads, making breathing and driving it all. Try to forget about his personal life. I dont, i dont care really. I dont because of course, not agree with all kinds of, of what you said it in a couple of intro about dr. Cole and whatever. I think people might remember the alarm on the modern us, one of the most important of the most important sort of football player. So gratian the stakes are very productive. When i want to say that, i prefer to remember there were months of on a bonus, a separate area, no or vote on what hed seen in there. One being the, you know, virile. Not Everybody Knows all around the world are, seems they also came from a very low, very low class that are jihadi. That is the boy. You know, that is the following. That is very hard for a guy came from a very low class, for instance, to have a lot of running or whatever he wants. But theres a reason if i just started as a reporter here, we want to take a look at some of the 1st reactions that we have been getting from fans in argentina to take a look. You know, it will get if i cant believe it. Its incredible. You think that all the bad things can happen, but then you see that they cant, you know, it turns out were all mortals. Im just saying it, but i feel a bit like its a bad dream in the field against my film that its a joke. I want to believe that its a joke. You know, good if they were going to be called the 1st thing. My 12 year old son said to me as a mom marriage donna died. I couldnt believe it. I didnt especially love him, but i did feel bad for them out of me. Maybe they are made out to be totally shocked, hurt and to be frank. Thats why this doesnt want to come out. I think it was a great guy who didnt have very good relations around him who was taken advantage of a lot. Get over it took them with a lady. Let me ask you, could you tell us what did madonna or what does he mean to the people in argentina . You know, country like europe is not the same education. We are very young countries that we can make a go of, you know, what i mean . You know, you know exactly what i want to tell you who view among them, what i dont, i was not a god. One of the best player in food will be able to. Ready ready strike gold and i think people must remember the arrow, the best player or what he did for the national the cause of the doing of the especially for nonpolice. You know, i also covered crime in april. d and it was amazing, i remember that was amazing. I walk on the street and peace might should, because i was with her not in the insurer walking, not bogus, please stop the car and see what happens. Somebody want to go . No, no, no, no, no. They say government in the audience sample much and you know, of course they are, you know, National Emergency officials. Yes. So i used to call them all the same idea for a moment only for a moment here. Rosenthals sports journalist joining us tonight when its our, its sincere, we appreciate you sharing your memories and your thoughts with us tonight. Thank you. Lets talk about this larger than life mythical figure that was Diego Maradona. And to do that im joined from good leads towards tom. Get away times. Now would you describe the sublime footballer who had an illustrious career . Yes, absolutely. I mean, very arguably, the best player ever to have played the most popular game in the world is a titanic figure in the world of football. And of course, in the world of sport, i mean he won trophies on many different continents. He won, probably the biggest sporting competition exists in the wode, the football world cup, in 1906 for a country, argentina, which is crazy about football as weve been hearing. And yet there are many players that will achieve more, i think, in the game of football than Diego Maradona just in terms of numbers of trophies, but very, very few who will ever be remembered in the same way that he will be. Because hes just regarded by very many people as the most gifted player ever to have had the guy he was challenged. He was also battling his personal demons, especially later in life was a yes, thats true. It was in naples where Diego Maradona developed a habit for alcohol and cocaine abuse that dont him for hours career that led to him being banned from playing the game by fifo on several occasions. You know, maradona developed associations with the camorra, the local mafia in naples during his time there. But, you know, were talking about a figure who embodies of an astronomical rise from obscurity and poverty, by virtue of his talent for playing the game for which so many people are so passionate. And then i think suffered naturally to the kind of immense limelight thats attached to the adoration and the claim that he received in public life. I think thats also what series year was trying to get into that. The extremes in his life were hard for most of his to imagine talk to us about what is known as the mara dunham, manage to have a magic a marathon. I think its, you know, for football fans who see merit on a play. Even for those whove had to see maradona play just in terms of videos in the road, use euclids. Its something that, you know, i think everybody can conjure images of maradona flicking the ball around of maradona, keeping the buso closely his feet as he dodges tackles and flies down the wing of maradona producing finishes that cheeky and so unbelievable that nobody else would have ever come to the idea of trying some of the things that maradona made look so effortless. Yeah, and as i say, sublime talent, dizzy does he deserve the title, the greatest footballer of all time . Thats kind of an open question and the several other contenders. Maradona was voted the fist player of the century, alongside brazilian legend pele. Whether or not hes the greatest of all time, thats an open question and people will have their own opinions on that. But if you ask anybody who the graceful of all time is, his would definitely be one of the very 1st names that come to mind. And thats a legacy that very, very few would have a claim. Diego, bardon, the dead at the age of 60. Tom, as always, thank you. Thank you. Lets take a look now at some of the tributes that are pouring in on social media sadness from the 3 clubs, maradona played for because juniors tweeting eternal thinks eternal diego over it. Is this the napoli, the club posting, always in our hearts, shall diego. And finally f. C. Barcelona. The club posting on twitter, saying q 4 everything. Diego, the legendary sprinter, usain bolt, posted these pictures of the pair doing the famous lightning bolt move. He tweeted, rest in peace to the legend. Well, it is considered to be a question not of if, but rather when and how much german chancellor Angela Merkel and regional leaders are expected to announce changes to the nationwide partial lockdown in place since the beginning of november. Theres tighter restrictions are expected to be eased during the Christmas Holiday and then reimposed as 2020 becomes 2021. Although the number of new coronavirus cases in germany is no longer increasing exponentially, the number of daily deaths from cove at 19 is now at a record high. And for more now we want to bring in our chief Political Editor mikhail eclipse north. Shes on the story for us in berlin, waiting like everyone mccaleb. We thought the german chancellor was going to come out hours ago to announce these changes, but were still waiting. What does that tell us . Well, 7 hours now, its increasingly feeling like one of those e. U. Summit. And its true, they all know the 16 state premiers and im going to machall, they have to come up with something. After all 1010. 00 days ago, the greed to disagree on where to take the corona, partial lockdown until christmas, and whether to ease up. They promised to the bigger plan for the next couple of weeks for now and theyll have to deliver whatever happens. We understand that theyre locked down in the nitty gritty of schooling if the issues of who pays for what, but also on how much germans will be allowed to enjoy the christmas season. And what that means for Christmas Shopping. Weve learned that theres talk of having new measures in place for larger shops, 25 square meters for every customer in larger shops, so that Christmas Shopping doesnt simply take place on line. And that also theres a new red line being debated of 200 infections 4100000 people within the space of 7 days before that figure was 50. And that, of course, raises a lot of questions over where that new red line will be and how much the individual states are feeling the pressure of a looming looming, new exponential growth in covered 19. And thats, thats what people are afraid of me remind us of why these restrictions these tighter restrictions, why they are needed now. Well that one is a couple weeks ago when suddenly infections were 23000 a day plus. And this after Angela Merkel done the math and said that she expects some 900200 by christmas. And that shows you how suddenly the infections can start galloping away. And that has been somewhat contained, were down 218600 something today, but 410 deaths. And thats a clear indicator that not just the Emergency Rooms filling up here and more and more covered 900. 00 patients. But also there are more deaths that indicates that theres a stress limit being reached. Also within the German Health system and christmas or not, the state premier sitting around the table will have to ensure that he doesnt go past that point of very difficult return to some bought some kind of control over the infections. Here. As you were saying, the chancellor, she wanted it tighter restrictions weeks ago. Now when we talk about germany losing its grip on this pandemic, how do we describe it . How did it have been . Do we blame when it depends on who you are. Those who disagree about acquisitive dont feel that the current mess is adequate. Some call for even stricter measures, but about a quarter of doubtful about that. And theres a very smooth minority thats also taken that protests to the streets here. And, but overall, were told from the beginning that simply there would be a new master plan and that seems to have worked that kind of transparency with the public. At the same time, there are some states who find it hard to sell than others. To explain to people why theres now a priority also when it comes to schools, but also keeping salt open and every individual state premier from that 16 states seems to have different priorities that. And thats whats proving so difficult this evening. All right. There on the story for us here in berlin tonight, mikhail as always, thank you. Lets have a look now. At other developments in the coronavirus pandemic, france is relaxing its restrictions following a drop in new infections. Not a single shops. Movie theaters and museums will gradually reopen, but large gatherings will remain banned. Australias most populous state New South Wales has eased social distancing measures and allowed companies to bring employees back to work. And in the us, a restaurant dining ban comes into effect today in los angeles. The 3 week order comes as the state of california faces a Record Number of new infections. If the Prime Minister has asked the International Community not to interfere in the conflict in his countries to agree region, the Central Government gave the regions leaders an ultimatum. Surrender by tonight or face an assault on their city. Over the last 3 weeks, hundreds of people have been killed in a government offensive. Communications remain almost completely cut off to the gray, which is home to about 6000000 people. Many have been forced to flee to refugee piece baby boy is just 2 weeks old. The newborn doesnt even have a name yet, but hes 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. Its martha says, she says people brought here in the baby to a refugee camp and that shes 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 see don, people have commented, all sorts of conditions with absolutely nothing. No money, no more clothes, no food, no contact with people. Never enough. Everyone here off guard to help, so its a painful 1st few, few days and weeks. Its hard to get a true sense of whats happening on the ground in 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 surrounded the provincial capital, mckayla, and i threatening a major offensive if the leaders of the tea gripe Peoples Liberation front do not surrender. Ethiopias Prime Minister who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, doesnt appear to be pushing for a peaceful solution and hes demanded the International Community. Stay out of the conflict. Heidi agree, since rhetoric on both sides regarding the fight for me, kenny is dangerously provocative and it risks placing already vulnerable and frightened civilians in great danger. Over the border in sudan, those who made it out of a just trying to get by the young mother who recently gave birth hopes her child point be forced to grow up in a refugee camp for the latest. Some joined by journalist sam, you will get a cheer. He is in the ethiopian capital, addis ababa . Samuel . The deadline that the Ethiopian Government gave as leaders, that ultimatum has expired. That deadline has expired. Do we know what is happening now on the ground in light . My, all of my colleagues, weve been waiting for any kinds of time, no instrument. Weve been reading this social media because the government, the Ethiopian Government, seems to use social media to distribute information, misinformation, or fight for what the, the must misinformation. There hasnt been any updates, so at this moment we really dont know if the violence 2 are actually getting to my colleague or if theyre just waiting by this summers mccully, which is that replacing of 1000 at the cou
