The Olympic Stadium in Berlin has already held its fair share of momentous events, starting with American sprinter Jesse Owens winning four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games.

Now after a 242 million Euro facelift, on July 9th a global audience of well over a billion is set to follow the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final live from the stadium on TV.

SUGGESTED VOICEOVER:

After a turbulent history Berlin, the country's largest city, has once again become the capital of a united Germany, the Brandenburg Gate symbolising this re-unification.

The city became the political centre of Brandenburg, Prussia and the German Reich.

After the foundation of the German Reich in 1871, the city progressed quickly to become Germany's largest industrial and cultural centre. The Second World War (1939-1945) triggered by the National Socialists, the Nazis, had a devastating effect on Berlin and led to the destruction of large parts of the city. Subsequent political developments divided the country and its capital: The building of the Wall in 1961 brutally completed this separation.

The Wall did not come down again until 1989, when the people from West and East Berlin were finally reunited.

Berlin is not only the seat of the government and cultural capital, but also Germany's sports city. More than 525,000 male and female athletes are registered in about 1,900 clubs.

Like the city the The Berlin Olympic Stadium has a long and distinguished history. Originally designed by architect Werner March it was built between 1934-36 for the 1936 Olympic Games.

American sprinter Jesse Owens won four gold medals at those games and today, one of the avenues leading to the ground and a VIP lounge bear the great runner's name.

SOUNDBITE:

"Of course this stadium is special because it is old. It is more than 70 years old and if you look at it from the outside it was originally built in 1936. This is because it is protected by landmark protection, it is a monument. So this is part of the impression that you have when you go inside the stadium. From the outside you have a historical building and you get information by our tourist guides or the information points. But when you go inside you have one of the most modern arena in Europe."

Reconstruction at a cost of 242 million Euro began in the summer of 2000 and was officially re-opened in July 2004.

It has a total capacity of over 74,000, but will be restricted to 66,000 for the World Cup.

The new roof, a vast oval interrupted as before by the listed Marathon Gate, provides a delicate contrast to the robust muscularity of the historic tectonics.

The lightweight cantilever construction is borne by an intricate web of 20 beam supports ranging over the gallery, and 132 steel pillars.

The roof is literally the crowning glory of a harmonious solution incorporating past, present and future.

SOUNDBITE:

"242 million Euro were spent to renovate this stadium and of course Berlin is the capital of Germany. So this is a very good place and a place like Berlin really is a vibrant city to host a final of the world cup. It is the biggest media event in the world and I think the capital is the right place for this."

This spectacular stadium is due to host six matches during the tournament but the final on July 9th will of course be the biggest. A global audience of well over a billion is set to follow the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final live on TV.

STORYLINE:

Top marathon runners Eluid Kipchoge, Wilson Kipsang and Zersenay Tadese joined Tirunesh Dibaba, Glady Cherono and Edna Kiplagat in the shadow ot the famous Brandenburg Gate to look ahead to the Berlin Marathon in Germany on Friday (14th September).  

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Two days before there 45th Berlin Marathon takes place in the German capital, some of the favourites for the men's and women's races were invited to the famous Brandenburg Gate to promote the event.

The Berlin marathon has adopted the nickname 'the fastest marathon in the world' on the back of ten world record having been set on the course over the years.

Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge, the current men's Olympic champion and Tirunesh Dibaba of Ethiopia, the 2008 and 2012 Olympic 10,000 metres champion, will both start as favourites in the men's and women's races.

However, it will not be a stroll for either on Sunday.

While he might carry the favourite's tag with ease, the pressure is on Kipchoge to break a world record that was set in Berlin four years ago by his compatriot Dennis Kimetto at 2 hours 2 minutes and 57 seconds.   

Kipchoge has got as close as 2:03:05.

He has also won his last eight marathons in a run stretching back to Berlin in 2013.

Lining up against Kipchoge will be fellow countrymen Wilson Kipsang, Eliud Kiptanui and Amos Kipruto, plus Abera Kuma of Ethiopia.

Kipsang ran well at Tokyo in 2017, taking first place ahead of compatriots Gideon Kipketer and Dickson Chumba in a time of 2:03:58, but he dropped out of the Berlin run last year.

Kiptanui and Kipruto are experienced campaigners both with personal bests around 2 hours and five minutes.

Kuma has also been on the circuit for several years, though his personal best came just this spring, a 2:05:50 time in Rotterdam.

The women's race is more evenly balanced.

The main threat to Dibaba is likely to come from her fellow Ethiopians Aselefech Mergia and Ruti Aga, and Kenyan pair Gladys Cherono and Edna Kiplagat.  

Cherono won the Berlin marathon for the second time last year and, along with the other prominent names, will be hoping that their greater experience can be brought to bear on Dibaba, who will be competing in only her fifth marathon.   

However, that might just mean that the best of Dibaba is yet to come.

Her personal best of 2:17:56 places her behind only Paula Radcliffe and Mary Keitany on the all-time list.

After suffering their first defeat in the Bundesliga last weekend, RB Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuttl is hoping his side can bounce back on Saturday (17th December) against Hertha Berlin who lie one place below them in the table.

Second hosts third in the Bundesliga on Saturday with this season's surprise package RB Leipzig welcoming Hertha Berlin.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's Bundesliga new boys were top of the table after eight consecutive victories but their first defeat of the campaign at FC Ingolstadt last Saturday allowed champions Bayern Munich to move back in front of them but only on goal difference.

RB Leipzig and Hertha have never met in a competitive match with the home side unbeaten at their Red Bull Arena so far this season.

Hertha are six points behind the leaders with Vedad Ibisevic their topscorer on eight goals this season.

The 32-year-old Bosnian striker has scored against 17 of the 18 current Bundesliga sides and needs one against RB Leipzig to complete his collection.

3. 00:14 SOUNDBITE: (German) Ralph Hasenhuttl, RB Leipzig coach:

"We now have a task against the team ranked third. They are coming here for an absolute top match. We're a team that has developed greatly in the past two years, and we put the entire focus, the whole energy into it. This is possibly a new series here in this home match, this is the goal we're having."

4. 00:38 Cutaway

5. 00:43 SOUNDBITE: (German) Ralph Hasenhuttl, RB Leipzig coach(on defeat in their last match against Ingolstadt):

"It wasn't so much an issue this week. We very, very quickly settled, and I don't want to discuss it anymore because the focus since Tuesday is so much on the match against Hertha. We do not think about the defeat anymore."

6. 00:58 Cutaway, Hasenhuttl and Marcel Halstenberg

7. 01:03 SOUNDBITE: (German) Marcel Halstenberg, RB Leipzig defender:

"Of course, we want to play our game, and play differently to the match against Ingolstadt where we brought our game on the pitch in the last 15 minutes. We had the chance to score and were a bit unlucky. Well, we will see how Hertha plays and makes our life hell."

8. 01:26 Cutaway

9. 01:30 SOUNDBITE: (German) Ralph Hasenhuttl, RB Leipzig coach:

"We'll see if they surprise us. We know which team to expect, and it is an opponent changing a lot anyway in the course of the game. So therefore for us it is about acting very flexibly and being very alert, finding a solution for everything and ideally forcing our game on them so that they have to try to find solutions. That's actually our plan."

10. 01:59 Cutaway

11. 02:03 SOUNDBITE: (German) Ralph Hasenhuttl, RB Leipzig coach:

"We are a new team in the league, one forgets this sometimes. We haven't played against all teams. We want to see what it's like to play against these teams, and we want to prove to ourselves that we can stand our ground. We don't see ourselves as favourites because we have a home match against Hertha. As some occasionally portray us, we know where we are coming from and we have humility towards the tasks waiting for us. But we also have, and I can promise this, a lot of courage and a lot of confidence in what we do."

STORYLINE:

Brazilian football legend Pele visited Berlin on Wednesday to inaugurate an exhibition dedicated to his footballing career, one of several events taking place in the build up to the opening game of World Cup 2006.

The exhibition, PeleStation - the Legend in Action, contains two 40 metre (43 yard) wide projections of images highlighting Pele's remarkable playing career.

PeleStation was opened in a tunnel of a subway station in Berlin.

Pele's popularity cuts across generations and fans came in large numbers to see the Brazilian.

With football fever at a high, Pele turned nostalgic and told the media he was extremely satisfied with the way his career panned out.

PeleStation was designed and created by a Brazilian company with the close cooperation and support of Pele himself.

Meanwhile, the car manufacturer BMW gave 32 Mini cars to the ambassadors of the countries participating in the World Cup, part of the 'Berlinizer' campaign to promote Germany as a friendly host.

The cars will be driven until July 9 by the ambassadors or by people participating in the 'Berlinizer' campaign.

For the ambassadors who live in Berlin, the handover of the cars was a special moment.

The ceremony took pace in the same place that former US President John F Kennedy once said: "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I'm a Berliner).

Marketing company Partner Berlin launched the campaign to encourage Germans to open up to guests and friends.

To become a 'Berlinizer', visitors have to log on to the Internet and answer some questions about Berlin.

Those who answer correctly win a badge marked with "I'm a Berlinizer please ask me for help".

Organisers hope that visitors to the city can approach those wearing the badges to ask for assistance or help.

Also in Berlin, the popular German sports brand Adidas has built a special arena where fans can experience an atmosphere similar to the city's famous Olympia Stadium.

The massive arena, built next to the spectacular Reichstag - the German Parliament building, will have live screenings of all World Cup games.

The English were also getting involved in publicity events in the run up to the tournament.

A British tabloid newspaper arranged for a giant beach towel, emblazoned with England's St. George cross, to be spread across a stand at the

Olympiastadium in Berlin.

The newspaper says the 7,578 square-foot (704-square-metre) towel is the world's largest, though the Guiness Book of World Records is still in the process of verifying this claim.

A team of ten unfurled the towel to send a message of support to the English World Cup squad.

The publicity stunt plays upon a popular British view that stereotypes German tourists as always seeking to reserve sun loungers with their towels before British holidaymakers can reach them.

9. Low shot of coordination centre

STORYLINE

The German Interior Ministry has expressed confidence that the security measures taken for the World Cup in Germany will prevent scenes of football violence similar to those seen in Warsaw, Basel and Berlin over the weekend.

Interior Ministry spokesman Christian Sachs spoke to AP Television News at the opening of the Interior Ministry's National Information and Coordination Centre (NICC) on Tuesday.

"We expect to have a very secure situation in the stadiums," Sachs said.

The NICC will be operational 24 hours a day, and is designed to facilitate the exchange of security-related information between various organisations and government bodies.

While Sachs showed concern about the escalation of violence in various cities, he said the personalisation, or printing of the rightful owner's name, on tickets would guarantee security.

Sachs appealed to the local authorities to implement security measures suggested by the federal government for the so called "Public Viewing" areas.

The police union has repeatedly expressed concern about some 300 such locations where safety measures are regulated by the local authorities.

Worry surrounding security at the World Cup has grown after scores of police and rioters were injured during clashes between police and violent football fans in Basel and Warsaw over the weekend, and a third league match had to be interrupted after clashes between fans broke out in Berlin.

Sachs also appealed to the football fans themselves: "We expect the fans to react in a certain way, namely to isolate potential violent people."

STORYLINE

The mood was festive and colourful on Tuesday morning as Brazilian and Croatian fans gathered in the German capital, Berlin, ahead of their teams' World Cup Group F clash later in the day.

Brazil are five-time champions and heavy favourites to win a record sixth world championship.

The Croats, third in the 1998 World Cup in France, have admitted a draw would be called heroic.

The match, scheduled for 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT), is the first in the tournament to be played at the Olympiastadion.

A big screen has been set up at the Brandenburg gate for those fans not lucky enough to get tickets for the game.

Early on Tuesday morning fans of both teams wrapped in their nations' flags sang and danced in the sun while waiting for the game to start.

A Croatian fan said he thought his team stood a chance against the current champions, whilst Brazilian supporters appeared more certain, almost arrogant, about success.

"This is a formality," said one Brazilian fan.

Brazil's coach, however, has said he expects Group F to be decided only in the final round of games.

Australia, Brazil's next opponent on Sunday, beat Japan 3-1 on Monday in their group opener.

Brazil and Croatia have drawn the only two times they have played, including 1-1 in a friendly last year.

Both sides will be at full strength for Tuesday's match at the Olympiastadion.

Outside the Kempinski hotel where the Brazilian team is staying in central Berlin, around 40 Brazilian supporters were waiting and playing samba rhythms, hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes.

Anja Niedringhaus, an internationally acclaimed German photographer who worked for the Associated Press, was shot to death on Friday by an Afghan policeman.

She was 48.

Niedringhaus faced down some of the world's greatest dangers and had one of the world's most infectious laughs.

She photographed dying and death, and embraced humanity and life.

She gave herself to the subjects of her lens, and gave her talents to the world, with images of wars' unwitting victims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia and beyond.

Niedringhaus leaves behind a body of work that won awards and broke hearts.

She trained her camera on children caught between the front lines, yet who still find a place to play.

She singled out soldiers amid their armies as they confronted death, injuries and attacks.

Niedringhaus began working as a photographer while still at university for various newspapers and magazines.

Her coverage of the fall of the Berlin Wall led to a staff position with the European Pressphoto Agency in 1990.

Based in Frankfurt, Sarajevo and Moscow, she spent much of her time covering the brutal conflict in the former Yugoslavia.

She joined The Associated Press in 2002, and while based in Geneva worked throughout the Middle East as well as Afghanistan and Pakistan.

She was part of the AP team that won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography for coverage of Iraq.

Niedringhaus is the 32nd AP staffer to give their life in pursuit of the news since AP was founded in 1846.

STORYLINE:

SNTV take a look at the 2018 World Cup nation Germany, with Joachim Loew's men hoping to overcome injuries and a surprise run of poor as they prepare to defend their World Cup title in Russia.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Germany coasted through World Cup qualifying with 10 wins out of 10 and a European record 43 goals before getting a reality check.

The World Cup holders haven't won any matches since qualifying for Russia.

After drawing friendlies against England, France and Spain, Joachim Loew's team lost 1-0 to Brazil to end a 22-game unbeaten run.

Becoming the first team since Brazil in 1962 to defend their World Cup title now looks even trickier for the Germans.

The recent slump in friendly matches could be a blessing in disguise if it eradicates any complacency going into the World Cup.

But if any coach in international football has the experience and nous to successfully guide Germany through this period, it's Loew.

The 58-year-old has overseen steady progress since taking over following the 2006 World Cup, reaching the final of the 2008 European Championship, claiming third place at the 2010 World Cup and reaching the semi-finals at Euro 2012 before finally winning a title in convincing fashion at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

A disappointing semi-final exit to France at Euro 2016 followed, but Loew laid the groundwork for a successful World Cup title defence by winning the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia with a young team of promising talent.

Loew hasn't been afraid to test young prospects, and Germany's strength in depth means one of his hardest tasks is leaving players out of the 23-man squad.

Though injury threatens to make some of those decisions for Loew.

The biggest concern is captain Manuel Neuer's fitness.

The Bayern Munich goalkeeper sustained a repeat of the hairline metatarsal fracture in his left foot while training last September and hasn't played since.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen could well establish himself as the with doubts over Neuer's fitness.

The Barcelona goalkeeper has overcome a shaky start to his international career and helped Germany win the Confederations Cup.

Bayern defender Jerome Boateng faces a race to be fit with a thigh injury sustained in the Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid in April.

And Borussia Moenchengladbach captain Lars Stindl has been ruled out of the tournament after suffering a left ankle injury playing for his club.

There is also no room in the squad for 2014 World Cup final goalscorer Mario Goetze after an underwhelming season at Borussia Dortmund.

Germany kicks off its title defence near its tournament base in Moscow at the Luzhniki Stadium, playing Mexico on 17th June.

The side then faces a long trip south to Sochi for its second game against Sweden on 23rd June 23, before wrapping up their Group F campaign against South Korea in Kazan four days later.

Loew's side will be aiming to top Group F to avoid a likely second-round clash against Brazil.

STORYLINE:

Reaction from Germany head coach Joachim Low and DFB (German Football Association) President Reinhard Grindel after the country was chosen as hosts of Euro 2024 ahead of Turkey at the UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on Thursday (27th September).

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Germany won the right to host football's 2024 European Championship on Thursday, beating Turkey following a politically charged campaign.

Germany, which hosted the 2006 World Cup, was the long-time favourite and won the UEFA executive committee vote 12-4. There was one abstention.

Three months after FIFA members picked a North American bid over Morocco to host the 2026 World Cup, UEFA also opted for a more proven and profitable option.

Unlike FIFA, UEFA does not publish who the voters picked.

Turkey is now a four-time losing candidate after failed bids to host Euro 2008, 2012 and 2016.

This was the first time UEFA built human rights assessments into the process.

UEFA relies on its signature national-team competition to help fund 55 member federations.

Revenue from the first 24-team Euro, hosted in 2016 by France, was almost 2 billion euros ($2.35 billion).

UEFA  received 850 million euros ($1 billion) in profit.

Germany should have about 400,000 more tickets to sell than the Euro 2016 organisers - they also had 300,000 more seats than Turkey's bid.

The UEFA voters were given confidential revenue projections for each candidate's plan.

Germany plan to use 10 stadiums for the 51-game tournament and play the final in Berlin or Munich.

Turkey proposed its strongest, government-backed bid yet with eight of 10 stadiums already completed and owned by the sports ministry.

Yet it was likely to struggle in the first UEFA hosting vote with a human rights assessment.

The government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has become increasingly authoritarian and a UEFA report into the candidates published last week noted Turkey's lack of a tournament plan to address human rights.

A currency crisis in Turkey has also seen the lira lose almost half its value against UEFA's working currency, the Euro, in the past year.

Germany will look to recapture the positive feeling of its month-long 2006 World Cup, which became known as the nation's "Summer Fairytale."

A well-liked and underrated national team helped Germans express a fresh pride in their national identity and symbols more than a decade after reunification with East Germany.

Europe's signature competition was hosted in 1988 by West Germany, one year before the Berlin Wall came down.

The election victory on Thursday is a welcome revival for the German football federation and its leader after four months of turmoil.

The federation and fans have had troubled relations with national team players Mesut Ozil and Ilkay Gundogan, whose roots are Turkish, before and after a poor showing at the World Cup as defending champions in Russia.

The issue flared after the players posed for photos with Erdogan in London in May - Ozil then became a scapegoat for the team's early World Cup exit.

Bid officials from Turkey quickly left UEFA headquarters and avoided international media.

Their compensation is that the same UEFA voting panel in May decided the 2020 Champions League final will be played at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.

"Of course, yesterday and today (Wednesday and Thursday), we were really excited for this decision. Now, at the moment, we are very happy because I think we did everything over the last few months and years to get this chance to host this tournament - (Euro) 2024. So we are happy and we will do everything to have a good tournament. We saw in 2006 (World Cup), in Germany, the people were so emotional. All the world came together and it was really a big party. We will do our best to feel the same in six years."

"I think that we had a very good bid book with a clear concept for the world of football, to share with other FA's (Football Associations) our experience, which we get in the following months and years and to also be the country at the heart of Europe where you can celebrate football without being anxious, where you can live the values of football also for every human being."

"I think for the whole federation and for our country, it's important. It's the next step in the future, for the future and, of course, it will be a great motivation for our young players, for the youth, for the kids, because they see six years later on that their will be a (home) tournament, so this is a big motivation. For my work, at the moment, nothing will change now because in the next few weeks, we have two important games. We were too disappointed in the summer (at the World Cup), of course, but our way in the last 10 years, was very good. We will continue and we have the confidence and everything. So yeah, we will see. At the moment, I am happy that, in six years, there will be a tournament in our country. But we have to look, for me as a coach, at the next month and the next European Championship (in 2020)."

Q: Can you see yourself there in Euro 2024 leading the team?

"I don't know. As a coach, you can't plan for six years. But I would love to be involved in whatever capacity. But, as a coach, I don't know at the moment."

12. 03:46 SOUNDBITE (German): Reinhard Grindel, DFB President:

"I sense a great trust from my colleagues here in the UEFA ExCo (Executive Committee). We already heard that we won with a clear majority of 12 votes to 4. That shows a trust in the power of our organisation. That shows that our bid had a great appeal. So I must say a big 'thank you' to my colleagues at the DFB (German Football Association) who have been meticulously working on this over a long time. We also must thank the Bundesliga who have made sure their stadiums are in such a good condition. That also contributed to our success today."

13. 04:24 SOUNDBITE (German): Reinhard Grindel, DFB President:

(On the importance of a clean bid after the corruption allegations around the successful German bid for the 2006 World Cup)

"That's always alluded to with the so-called '"Summer Fairytale" (the nickname for Germany 2006). It's a massive compliment for UEFA and shows how good UEFA is set up that that we have received such a big support in the UEFA ExCo with a concept based on facts, sustainability, transparency and good arguments. It's also a victory for our new integrity. That's very important for us at the DFB, that's what I'm responsible for and we have achieved that."

14. 05:08 SOUNDBITE (German): Reinhard Grindel, DFB President:

"I battled, not for me, but for the DFB. For the big goal of being successful in our bid for Euro 2024. After the World Cup it's been the motivation driving our colleagues, members and fans that we have, most importantly, a good perspective. On the one hand to develop a nice story around Euro 2024 but also with the Bundesliga and the DFB to working together to produce a team which is absolutely ready to play a European Championships on home soil. But further than that, it will give a boost to grassroots football, which I am always particularly interested in. So that's why I am really looking forward to the task ahead of us."

15. 05:52 Joachim Low talking to reporters in mixed zone

16. 05:59 SOUNDBITE (German): Joachim Low, Germany head coach:

"This has got nothing to do with my progress or the progress of the team. We must concentrate on what's coming up over the next few weeks. No question that we had a bad World Cup but I think we had a good start at the DFB (winning the 2014 World Cup and 2017 Confederations Cup). Within our ranks over the last few weeks and months there's been a total focus on what this bid means for us. I know that we have done everything we possibly can in the build-up to this to win this tournament and it's a good step forward for the next few years."

17. 06:39 SOUNDBITE (German): Joachim Low, Germany head coach:

(Will he still be the German national team manager in 2024?)

"Everyone who is responsible for this in our organization can now start planning for it. But that doesn't concern me as coach because my position here is totally dependent on the success I have over the next months or at the next tournament. It's difficult as a coach to look so far ahead."

DURATION: 07:34

Nelson Mandela, who became one of the world's most beloved statesmen and a colossus of the 20th century when he emerged from 27 years in prison to negotiate an end to white minority rule in South Africa, died on Thursday, 5 December.

He was 95.

South African President Jacob Zuma made the announcement at a news conference late Thursday, saying "we've lost our greatest son."

South Africa's first black president spent nearly one-third of his life as a prisoner of apartheid, the system of white racist rule that he described as evil, yet he sought to win over its defeated guardians in a relatively peaceful transition of power that inspired the world.

It was this generosity of spirit that made Mandela a global symbol of sacrifice and reconciliation in a world often jarred by conflict and division.

Mandela's stature as a fighter against white oppression and seeker of peace with his enemies was on a par with that of other men he admired: American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. and Indian independence leader Mohandas K. Gandhi, both of whom were assassinated while actively engaged in their callings.

Mandela's death deprived the world of one of one of the great figures of modern history and set the stage for days of mourning and reflection about a colossus of the 20th century who projected astonishing grace, resolve and good humour.

At times, Mandela embraced his iconic status, appearing before a rapturous crowd in London's Wembley Stadium soon after his 1990 release from jail.

Sometimes, he sought to downplay it, uneasy about the perils of being put on a pedestal. In an unpublished manuscript, written while in prison, Mandela acknowledged that leaders of the anti-apartheid movement dominated the spotlight but said they were "only part of the story," and every activist was "like a brick which makes up our organisation."

He pondered the cost to his family of his dedication to the fight against the racist system of government that jailed him for 27 years and refused him permission to attend the funeral of his mother and of a son who was killed in a car crash.

In court, he described himself as "the loneliest man" during his mid-1990s divorce from Winnie Mandela.

As president, he could not forge lasting solutions to poverty, unemployment and other social ills that still plague today's South Africa, which has struggled to live up to its rosy depiction as the "Rainbow Nation."

He secured near-mythical status in his country and beyond. Last year, the South African central bank released new banknotes showing his face, a robust, smiling image of a man who was meticulous about his appearance and routinely exercised while in prison.

South Africa erected statues of him and named buildings and other places after him. He shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with F. W. de Klerk, the country's last white president.

He was the subject of books, films and songs and a magnet for celebrities. In 2010, Mandela waved to the crowd at the Soccer City stadium at the closing ceremony of the World Cup, whose staging in South Africa allowed the country, and the continent, to shine internationally.

It was the last public appearance for the former president and prisoner, who smiled broadly and was bundled up against the cold.

One of the most memorable of his gestures toward racial harmony was the day in 1995 when he strode onto the field before the Rugby World Cup final in Johannesburg, and then again after the game, when he congratulated the home team for its victory over a tough New Zealand team.

Mandela was wearing South African colours and the overwhelmingly white crowd of 63,000 was on its feet, chanting "Nelson! Nelson! Nelson!"

It was typical of Mandela to march headlong into a bastion of white Afrikanerdom - in this case the temple of South African rugby - and make its followers feel they belonged in the new South Africa.

The moment was portrayed in "Invictus," Clint Eastwood's movie telling the story of South Africa's transformation through the prism of sport.

It was a moment half a century in the making. In the 1950s, Mandela sought universal rights through peaceful means but was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 for leading a campaign of sabotage against the government.

The speech he gave during that trial outlined his vision and resolve.

"During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people," Mandela said. "I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination.

I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve.

But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." He was confined to the harsh Robben Island prison near Cape Town for most

of his time behind bars, then moved to jails on the mainland.

It was forbidden to quote him or publish his photo, yet he and other jailed members of his banned African National Congress were able to smuggle out messages of guidance to the anti-apartheid movement, and in the final stages of his confinement, he negotiated secretly with the apartheid leaders who recognised change was inevitable.

Thousands died, or were tortured or imprisoned in the decades-long struggle against apartheid, which deprived the black majority of the vote, the right to choose where to live and travel, and other basic freedoms.

So when inmate No. 46664 went free after 27 years, walking hand-in-hand with his wife Winnie out of a prison on the South African mainland, people worldwide rejoiced.

Mandela raised his right fist in triumph, and in his autobiography, "Long Walk to Freedom," he would write: "As I finally walked through those gates ... I felt - even at the age of seventy-one - that my life was beginning anew."

Mandela's release, rivaled the fall of the Berlin Wall just a few months earlier as a symbol of humanity's yearning for freedom, and his graying hair, raspy voice and colourful shirts made him a globally known figure.

Life, however, imposed new challenges on Mandela.

South Africa's white rulers had portrayed him as the spearhead of a communist revolution and insisted that black majority rule would usher in bloody chaos.

Thousands died in factional fighting in the runup to democratic elections in 1994, and Mandela accused the government of collusion in the

bloodshed.

But voting day, when long lines of voters waited patiently to cast ballots, passed peacefully, as did Mandela's inauguration as president.

"Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world," the new president said. "Let freedom reign. The sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement! God bless Africa! Thank you."

Mandela also stood hand on heart, saluted by white generals as he sang along to two anthems now one: the apartheid-era Afrikaans "Die Stem," ("The Voice") and the African "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" ("Lord Bless Africa").

Since apartheid ended, South Africa has held four parliamentary elections and elected three presidents, always peacefully, setting an example on a continent where democracy is still new and fragile.

However, corruption scandals and other missteps under the ruling African National Congress, the liberation group once led by Mandela, have undercut some of the early promise.

President Jacob Zuma periodically observes that the South African white minority is far wealthier than the black majority, an imbalance that he regards as a vestige of the apartheid system that bestowed most economic benefits on whites.

When Mandela came to power, black South Africans anticipated quick fixes after being denied proper housing, schools and health care under apartheid.

The new government, however, embraced free-market policies to keep white-dominated big business on its side and attract foreign investment.

The policy averted the kind of economic deterioration that occurred in Zimbabwe after independence; South Africa, though, has one of the world's biggest gaps between rich and poor.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born July 18, 1918, the son of a tribal chief in Transkei, a Xhosa homeland that later became one of the

"Bantustans" set up as independent republics by the apartheid regime to cement the separation of whites and blacks.

Mandela's royal upbringing gave him a regal bearing that became his hallmark. Many South Africans of all races would later call him by his clan name, Madiba, as a token of affection and respect.

Growing up at a time when virtually all of Africa was under European colonial rule, Mandela attended Methodist schools before being admitted to the black University of Fort Hare in 1938.

He was expelled two years later for his role in a student strike.

He moved to Johannesburg and worked as a policeman at a gold mine, boxed as an amateur heavyweight and studied law.

His first wife, nurse Evelyn Mase, bore him four children. A daughter died in infancy, a son was killed in a car crash in 1970 and another son died of AIDS in 2005. The couple divorced in 1957 and Evelyn died in 2004.

Mandela began his rise through the anti-apartheid movement in 1944, when he helped form the ANC Youth League.

He organised a campaign in 1952 to encourage defiance of laws that segregated schools, marriage, housing and job opportunities. The government retaliated by barring him from attending gatherings and leaving Johannesburg, the first of many "banning" orders he was to endure.

After a two-day nationwide strike was crushed by police, he and a small group of ANC colleagues decided on military action and Mandela pushed to form the movement's guerrilla wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, or Spear of the Nation.

He was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' hard labour for leaving the country illegally and inciting blacks to strike.

A year later, police uncovered the ANC's underground headquarters on a farm near Johannesburg and seized documents outlining plans for a guerrilla campaign.

At a time when African colonies were one by one becoming independent states, Mandela and seven co-defendants were sentenced to life in prison.

The ANC's armed wing was later involved in a series of high-profile bombings that killed civilians, and many in the white minority viewed the

imprisoned Mandela as a terrorist. The apartheid government, meanwhile, was denounced globally for its campaign of beatings, assassinations and other violent attacks on opponents.

Even in numbing confinement, Mandela sought to flourish.

"Incidentally, you may find that the cell is an ideal place to learn to know yourself, to search realistically and regularly the process of your own mind and feelings," he wrote in 1975 to Winnie Mandela, a prominent activist in her own right who was in a separate jail at that time.

Mandela turned down conditional offers of freedom during his decades in prison. In 1989, P.W. Botha, South Africa's hard-line president, was replaced by de Klerk, who recognised apartheid's end was near. Mandela continued, even in his last weeks in prison, to advocate nationalising banks, mines and monopoly industries - a stance that frightened the white business community.

But talks were already underway, with Mandela being spirited out of prison to meet white government leaders. After his release, he took charge of the ANC, and was elected president in a landslide in South Africa's first all-race election.

Perceived successes during Mandela's tenure include the introduction of a constitution with robust protections for individual rights, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which he established with his fellow Nobelist, Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

It allowed human rights offenders of all races to admit their crimes publicly in return for lenient treatment. Though not regarded as wholly successful, it proved to be a kind of national therapy that would become a model for other countries emerging from prolonged strife.

Despite his saintly image, Mandela was sometimes a harsh critic. When black journalists mildly criticised his government, he painted them as stooges of the whites who owned the media. Some whites with complaints were dismissed as pining for their old privileges.

In the buildup to the Iraq War, Mandela harshly rebuked President George W. Bush. "Why is the United States behaving so arrogantly?" he asked in a speech. "All that (Bush) wants is Iraqi oil."

He suggested Bush and then British Prime Minister Tony Blair were racists, and claimed America, "which has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world," had no moral standing.

Until Bush repealed the order in 2008, Mandela could not visit the U.S. without the secretary of state certifying that he was not a terrorist.

To critics of his closeness to Fidel Castro and Moammar Gadhafi despite human rights violations in the countries they ruled, Mandela explained that he wouldn't forsake supporters of the anti-apartheid struggle.

To the disappointment of many South Africans, he increasingly left the governing to Deputy President Thabo Mbeki, who won the next presidential election and took over when Mandela's term ended in 1999.

"I must step down while there are one or two people who admire me," Mandela joked at the time. When he retired, he said he was going to stand on a street with a sign that said: "Unemployed, no job. New wife and large family to support."

His marriage to Winnie had fallen apart after his release and he married Graca Machel, the widowed, former first lady of neighbouring Mozambique.

With apartheid vanquished, Mandela turned to peacemaking efforts in other parts of Africa and the world and eventually to fighting AIDS, publicly acknowledging that his own son, Makgatho, had died of the disease.

Mandela's final years were marked by frequent hospitalisations as he struggled with respiratory problems that had bothered him since he contracted tuberculosis in prison.

He stayed in his rural home in Qunu in Eastern Cape province, where Hillary Clinton, then U.S. secretary of state, visited him in 2012, but then moved full-time to his home in Johannesburg so he could be close to medical care in Pretoria, the capital.

He is survived by Machel; his daughter Makaziwe by his first marriage, and daughters Zindzi and Zenani by his second.

STORYLINE:

Word Cup hosts Germany are concerned that countries with a reputation for violence, including Eastern Europe will arrive en masse in just a few weeks time.

Polish, Croatian and Ukrainian fans, contributing to growing violence in their home leagues, are especially feared because German police find it difficult to tell the genuine supporter from the hooligan, owing to a lack of intelligence.

Whereas the British and Dutch have exchanged thick dossiers on troublemakers for years.

The German media have also criticised a series of errors in various disaster response exercises for the World Cup, although Deputy Interior Minister August Hanning said the point of training was to expose possible mistakes.

But German police are wary.

Michael Endler, head of the D?sseldorf-based ZIS, the police department that handles hooligans, told APTN: "We wouldn''t intensively prepare for four years if we didn''t expect these kind of soccer fans and hooligans to come to Germany despite all security measures. But following information provided by Poland, England and other states known for hooliganism, our expectations can''t be compared at all with what is discussed by the public at the moment. Our level (of expectation) is considerably lower."

However German strategy to combat fan violence and terrorism drew high marks at a two-day security conference of experts from the 32 countries playing in soccer''s showcase event from June 9-July 9.

Tadeuz Pawlaczyk, a Polish police commandant, thinks the German police can handle the situation, because there is good European cooperation.

"Of course we can''t prevent brawls or clashes, but with the cooperation of the German police we hope that these cases can be limited to a minimum," Pawlaczyk said.

The exact number of German police involved is unknown because the nine federal states with World Cup stadia coordinate their own security.

About 2,000 soldiers will provide support, but are forbidden from taking on police roles under the country''s constitution.

Concerned about the jumbo screen venues, the Interior Ministry wants each state to set up video surveillance, check backpacks and fence the areas like a sports arena.

Germany will also reinstate border controls for spot checks after they were dismantled for the European Union.

About 400 police and security officers from other World Cup nations will help German officers patrol stadiums, airports and train stations. England will send 45 uniformed officers abroad for the first time.

STORYLINE:

Thousands of Spanish and Tunisian fans gathered in front of a big screen in downtown Stuttgart on Monday evening to watch the World Cup Group H clash between the two teams.

Tunisian supporters roared and celebrated first as Jawhar Menari scored a goal in the eighth minute.

But Spanish substitute Raul Gonzalez and attacking partner Fernando Torres eventually scored within six minutes of each other to help Spain rally to a 3-1 win over Tunisia in Group H.

Raul scored in the 71st minute and Torres poked in the second in the 77th after being set up by substitute Cesc Fabregas.

Torres added a third goal from penalty spot in the 90th after he got pulled down by a defender.

"We played well enough but we lost," said one Tunisian supporter. "The Spanish were stronger than us."

Spain is emerging as a serious candidate to win the World Cup, and the result put the team in the second round and extended its unbeaten streak

under coach Luis Aragones to 24 games.

"Berlin, Berlin, we're going to Berlin," cheered a Spanish supporter in German.

Tunisia must beat Ukraine in its last match to have a chance to advance.

Spain has opened the World Cup with two wins twice before, but never with such a good goal margin.

Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre will have to restore morale to his squad to have any chance of beating Ukraine, which rebounded from its opening debacle to beat Saudi Arabia 4-0 earlier Monday.

Croatia produced the biggest upset of this World Cup on Saturday when it ousted three-time champions Germany to reach the semifinal.

Germany were favourites to win the match, but after having had a player sent off, they were overrun by the Croatian side and eventually beaten 3-0.

As Croatian fans celebrated at their victory in their first appearance at the World Cup the Germans were distraught at the defeat.

Croatia's 3-0 victory over Germany on Saturday produced one of the biggest upsets of the World Cup.

Croatia, which became a nation just seven years ago after breaking away from Yugoslavia, is the first team since Portugal in 1966 to advance to the semifinals in its first World Cup.

Aided by the 40th minute expulsion of German defender Christian Woerns the Croats took full advantage with a goal in first half injury time from Robert Jarni.

Second half goals from Goran Vlaovic and Davor Suker ensured that it was Croatia who went through to the semifinals where they will now meet the hosts France....a game their supporters are looking forward to.

Meanwhile the Germans around the country drowned their sorrows in bars around the country, while Croatian fans ignored the rain and partied in the street.

The Croatian fans in Lyon celebrated long into the night while back in Zagreb it was reported that the country hadn't witnessed such a huge celebration since it proclaimed independence from former Yugoslavia in 1991.

In Germany it was a different story for the country's fans who couldn't believe their team's inability to reach the later stages of the competition.

They dowsed their sorrows in the bars of Berlin, oscillating between hope and despair for their team, who are all veterans of the national game.

In Frankfurt German fans burned their country's flag in disgust the Croatian fans caused a roadblock with their celebrations in the street.

Croatia now look forward to the semifinals with France.

Germany's 3-0 defeat by Croatia in the World Cup Quarter-finals on Saturday, sent shockwaves of despair through the bars and bierkellers of Berlin.

The German side were favourites to win the match, but after having a player sent off, they quickly conceded three goals to the Croatian side.

German fans drowned their sorrows inside the bars, but outside Croatians ignored the rain and partied in the streets.

The world cup quarter-final started well for German fans, enjoying the universal experience of cheering on their national side.

But the hopes of winning a fourth world title faded, as they were left with 10 men when its best defender Christian Woerns was sent off.

Germany's game collapsed against a team playing in its first World Cup finals.

German fans looked on despairingly as Croatia struck in three goals to win the match.

Outside, in the wet Berlin streets, Croatian fans celebrated their victory.

Traffic was stopped, flares lit and Croatian flags brandished in a display of national pride and mild disbelief.

In Frankfurt, German fans burnt their own flag in shame, as they mourned their country's dismal performance.
