Tributes to Pelé
We hear from people around the world sharing their memories of Pelé.
Brazil has declared three days of mourning for Pelé - for many, the world's greatest ever footballer - who has died in São Paulo at the age of 82. Pelé's wake will be held on Monday at the Santos Football club - for many years, his home stadium.
Tributes to the footballer have been pouring in from around the world. We hear from people sharing their memories of Pelé and from those who met him or saw him play.
We also look back at the life of the British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood who died in London this week.
And we talk to our South Asia Editor Anbarasan Ethirajan about Sri Lanka's economic crisis and what it was like to cover mass protests earlier this year.
