Pelé's funeral

We come live from the Brazilian city of Santos where Pelé's funeral is taking place.

The coffin of the Brazilian football star Pelé has been driven through the streets of his hometown following a 24-four hour wake at the Santos stadium. OS's James Reynolds is in Santos talking to local people about how Pelé transformed Santos football club and put the city on the map.

James will also speak to black Brazilians about what Pelé, who himself had to overcome racism and poverty, meant to them.

Palestinians and several Muslim countries have condemned the visit by Israel's new far-right security minister to the Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem. Our correspondent explains.

We look back at the life and career of the American motorsport star Ken Block who has died in a snowmobile accident in Utah.
