Brazil football legend Pele has died at the age of 82. He had been battling colon cancer and spent Christmas in hospital, receiving treatment for cardiac and renal dysfunction, before his death was confirmed on 29 December. Pele's daughter Kely Nascimento confirmed the news on Instagram, in a post that said: "Everything we are is thanks to you. We love you infinitely. Rest in peace." She then added three heartbroken emojis. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Football Association simply tweeted "King Pele" with three crown emojis and a graphic calling him "eternal" with a lifespan of 1940 to infinity. Widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, Pele is the only man to have won the World Cup on three occasions, as he helped Brazil to success at the 1958, 1962 and 1970 tournaments, also winning the Golden Ball for best player at the latter. |

Could the UK impose new Covid travel restrictions? |
From Thursday 5 January 2023, arrivals to the US from China must show a negative coronavirus test result or evidence of recent recovery from the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made the move after Beijing lifted its "zero Covid" policy, leading to a rapid rise in infections. America's decision follows similar moves made by India, Italy, Japan and Taiwan but what is the likelihood the UK could follow suit? These are the key questions and answers. |
