Friedrich-Wilhelm Lenz was only a toddler when the wall went up that split his family's 75-hectare farm in two - dividing the cow stall and even a restaurant on the land.

It was 1952, and East German authorities were erecting the wooden barrier that broke up the twin towns of Zicherie in the capitalist West and Boeckwitz in the communist East.

The two had operated as one for centuries - sharing markets, schools and social clubs - and had long been the site of the Lenz family farm.

Years before the collapse of the Berlin Wall - whose 25th anniversary falls Sunday - East Germany had already started sealing off its main frontier with West Germany, spanning nearly 1,400 kilometres (870 miles), dividing communities, friends and even families.

The Lenz family keenly felt the trauma of division.

"My father kept on dreaming of his farm. And he always told me that there is nothing is more enduring then property," recalled Lenz, now 64.

"My father never said 'One day we get our property back' - nobody would have believed it anyway."

The East German authorities seized their property and forced them to relocate to another town on the communist side of the border.

They didn't like it and were able to move to the part of their property that remained in Zicherie in 1960.

But they left Friedrich-Wilhelm's older sister, Anneliese, with an aunt so she could finish high school before rejoining them.

It was a tragic error.

In 1961, East Germany built the Berlin Wall to stem an exodus of its citizens and left the family fractured.

That also turned a still relatively porous divide between East and West into a full-fledged Iron Curtain.

"We were here and my sister was in the East," said Lenz.

"It was brutal and hard for us."

It was only in 1986 - a quarter century after separation - that Anneliese was allowed to rejoin her family in the West.

Meanwhile the residents of Boeckwitz lived as if in a prison.

They needed permission from the Communist authorities to receive visitors, even from other East Germans, or to go out late at night.

They lived in an exclusion zone and were forced to document almost every step they made.

Many people left.

By 1989, only 78 of the previous 120 residents were still living in the town.

Boeckwitz native Willi Schuette was 13 when the town was first divided after World War II.

Schuette and his family also lost their farm in 1952.

The family relocated to a village 25 kilometres (15.5 miles) away from Zicherie in the Western part of Germany.

From here Schuette came to Zicherie as often as he could to observe the situation in his hometown Boeckwitz from behind the wall.

But just looking across the border was life-threatening, he said.

"I was standing in Zicherie at a barrier and wanted to take a picture of him (East German soldiers at window). But he took his rifle and pointed it to me like he wanted to kill me. I was full of fear because at my side in the West were no border guards. I left and wanted to go but when I turned around I saw him leaving. That was the moment I took this picture here," Schuette said.

Following reunification, both the Schuette and the Lenz families got their confiscated property back.

Schuette renovated one of the buildings still standing to create a museum to remind succeeding generations of the difficult years under Communism.

"If we don't preserve something like this then nobody would know about it today," Schuette said.

The photos that Schuette shot - including that of the soldier who pointed his gun at him - are now part of the museum.

The shadow of Germany's divided past lives on in the lives of such communities that straddled the Cold War divide.

Gerhard Borchert, Mayor of the borough of Brome, which contains Zicherie, thinks that though it may take time to overcome the divide, the first steps have already been taken.

"I think that people are getting closer together again. People meet in sport communities and hunting clubs or sing together. A lot of things went back to normal," he said.

Boeckwitz and Zicherie, once a symbol of Germany's division, are now a hopeful sign of its reunification.

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."

SUPERCAPTION: Christoph Meyer, press officer Olympic Stadium

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."

SUPERCAPTION: Christoph Meyer, press officer Olympic Stadium

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.

Cooking their way to glory -- chefs from around the globe have gathered in Berlin to compete in the Culinary Olympics.

The competition consists of a week of cook-offs to determine which country can come up with the most delicious dishes.

And at the end of the week, the champion goes away with a gold.

More than one-thousand cooks from 32 nations have been skewering scallops, poaching salmon and stuffing suckling pig this week in their quest to capture gold at the international Culinary Olympics.

Medals are awarded in various categories, including cold and warm food preparation and regional specialties.

The competition includes the traditional artists of dining delights -- the French and Italian, but competitors from other nations says they plan to give the pros a run for the gold.

The American team says it hopes to win by being faithful to its own cuisine.

It will not try to compete with the French creating classic pastries and sauces.

Instead, the team says it's preparing "New World cuisine".

The Americans hope to bring home the gold by serving up braised bison tenderloins and sweet potato pie.

But the French aren't too worried.

SOUNDBITE: French

"There is not only France. Every nation, every country has got its own conception of its cuisine, of its roots. Every nation, every country has got its own cuisine, and it is always excellent."

SUPER CAPTION: Auguste Guyet, President d'honneur avec Paul Bocuse-des maitre cuisinier de France

The judges will face quite a feast testing the cuisine of different countries.

The Germans hope to bring home the bacon with their offer of roast pork tenderloin with onion soup.

And the Austrians hope to give them a run for the money by preparing forest mushroom soup and venison fillets.

They certainly impressed the crowds.

SOUNDBITE: German

"I found it interesting to watch the international cooks, for example the Japanese and Korean ones. It is really exciting."

SUPER CAPTION: VOXPOP

The competition even includes some unlikely events like a contest for Armed Forces cuisine.

No sign of chipped beef and gravy here.

An American military cook says he's planning a main course of mahi-mahi with a macadamia crust.

The Culinary Olympics were previously held every 4 years in

Frankfurt.

Organizers decided to move the competition to the German capital after the fall of the wall and reunification in 1990.

A 27-year old Jordanian man is training for the Berlin Marathon despite fasting during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Mo'ath al-Khawaldeh also hopes to qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo with the help of a specially designed diet and exercise program.

STORY-LINE:

Another day on the track for marathon runner Mo'ath al-Khawaldeh.

For 30 days, he's training and eating according to a program he's developed with nutritionists and trainers in the US and Jordan. He's hoping to get his best ever time at the upcoming marathon in Berlin.

But this is no ordinary training schedule - it's taking place during Ramadan, the holy Islamic month in which he is required to fast between the hours of sunrise and sunset.

"It's tough. Once I get to the track I just forget that I'm fasting. Sometimes you cannot forget about it because in the middle of the work out you hit the wall, but you have to keep pushing", he explains.

Mo'ath al-Khawaldeh is pushing himself because he is also hoping to qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

The 27-year old Jordanian works 40 hours a week at Generations for Peace, where he trains young people throughout the world to achieve peace making and conflict resolution through sports.

While training builds his physical strength, al-Khawaldeh says fasting develops his mental strength.

"It's a great feeling, the sense that you have that power in your body that you didn't know was there but comes out during Ramadan", he says.

Al-Khawaldeh has built a diverse team of people to support his marathon ambitions. They include a Sudanese trainer, an American running coach and a Jordanian nutritionist. He's been working with this team for the past three years to develop his mental and physical strength.

Hanoia Adam, a Sudanese runner and fitness coach, times al-Khawaldeh's daily runs during Ramadan before iftar. These are shorter, lighter exercises designed for a body already stressed by more than sixteen hours of hunger and thirst.

"Before iftar it's difficult but at the same time great, because about an hour before iftar there's a feeling of power and you're able to do some great work then. Training during Ramadan truly is sweet", Adam says.

Al-Khawaldeh breaks his fast with a meal specially designed to recover nutrition lost during the long day of fasting and the pre-iftar workout.

He generally starts with potassium-rich smoothies of skimmed milk, protein powder, bananas and dates, followed by a light meal of vegetables and lean protein like chicken. This diet replaces glycogen and nutrients lost throughout the day's fasting.

He tracks his meals with the help of Aseel al-Saleh, a nutrition coach who specialises in "precision nutrition" for athletes.

Since starting the new diet of vitamin supplements and meals six months ago, al-Khawaldeh has lost 2.5kg of body fat and gained 0.8kg of muscle.

Al-Saleh helped al-Khawaldeh develop a Ramadan meal plan that fits the needs of an athlete and an observant Muslim.

"The key to improved performance during Ramadan fasting is recovery, repair, sleep and supplementation. When it comes to iftar and suhoor (post-sunset and pre-sunrise meals) focus mostly on good quality carbohydrates, good quality proteins and lots of vegetables", says al-Saleh.

After iftar, al-Khawaldeh sleeps for a few hours and then starts his workout again at midnight. This time the exercise is much harder and longer. A support car follows him with protein shakes and water (he must drink up to 4 litres of water a day) as he races along the highway south of Amman.

"The key to improved performance during Ramadan fasting is recovery, repair, sleep and supplementation. When it comes to iftar and suhoor (post-sunset and pre-sunrise meals) focus mostly on good quality carbohydrates, good quality proteins and lots of vegetables. When it comes to suhoor, focus on low-fat and fat-free dairy because it has a type of protein called casein which is the slowest absorbed protein that keeps you sustained for longer hours throughout the next day."

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.

A German-born long distance runner is to represent Palestine in the marathon event at the Rio Olympics.

Mayada Al-Sayad shows off her medals, her trophies and tells us how she feels about her upcoming adventure.

STORY-LINE:

Sandals are put to one side and the running shoes come on.

The sports watch is set so speed and distance can be assessed.

This is Mayada Al-Sayad.

She's a long distance specialist. And while she is not all-conquering in her home country of Germany, her father's Palestinian nationality has enabled her to qualify for this summer's Olympic Games.

And having broken the qualification standard of 2 hours and 42 minutes for the 26.2 mile (42.2 kilometres) race, she will become the first woman to run the event under the Palestinian flag at an Olympic Games.

She has collected a number of medals during her career, and this year travelled to the West Bank and won the Bethlehem half marathon.

But qualification for the Rio de Janeiro games is her primary achievement.

"Last year in Hamburg I reached the world standard for the Olympic games for Palestine, that is under than 2:42. This means I can now go to Rio for Palestine," she says with obvious delight.

Her time in the April 2015 Hamburg marathon was 2:41:44.

She later improved upon that with a personal best at this year's Dubai Marathon with 2:39:48.

Al-Sayad hopes other women of Arab descent will follow in her many footsteps and also wants to be able to show Palestine in a different light.

"We mostly just hear bad news from there," she says, wearing a T-Shirt with "Palestine" emblazoned across the front.

She was born in Berlin to a German mother and Palestinian father and got her Palestinian passport in 2014.

Al-Sayad's trainer Tobias Singer says her single mindedness and lack of nerves will stand her in good stead for the Olympics.

"Nobody runs 250 kilometres in a week without a reason," he says.

Al-Sayad spends time every summer at her family house in Palestine. But now she's driving back to her German home to see her mother, who is understandably proud.

"She is now the first woman who managed to qualify for Palestine. We all find this great and hope it will go well," her mother says.

Considering the small number of athletes expected to represent the territories this summer, there is a decent chance that Al-Sayad will be the flag bearer at the opening ceremony on 5 August.

"This would also be a huge honour for me," she says.

She's not expecting to win the race in Rio, but she's hoping to improve upon the 50th place at the 2015 World Championships in Bejing.

STORYLINE:

As soccer's best players prepare to square off this summer at the World Cup, businesses across Germany are anticipating a huge windfall with the arrival of an estimated 1 (m) million fans from around the world.

The sex industry is no exception, and just down the street from Berlin's Olympic Stadium, which hosts the final, stands the city's largest brothel.

Artemis, which cost 8.2 (m) million dollars to build was established in September with an eye on capitalising on the influx of World Cup visitors.

The four storey, 40-bedroom bordello is decorated with fake animal prints and velvet on beds, walls and furniture, as well as Greek and Roman statues under North African style arches.

The establishment has been averaging 130 visitors a day, many from the nearby convention centre, and was planning to blitz the Olympic Stadium and Berlin hotels with leaflets during the World Cup.

Eike Wilmans, PR Manager of the "Artemis," said he expected demand to increase during the World Cup.

Prostitution is legal in Germany, with about 400,000 people registered in the trade - the women who work in Artemis pay taxes and receive social benefits like people in any other job.

However, the anticipated World Cup sex-trade boom has raised fears of an increase in forced prostitution - an estimated 40,000 women from poorer Eastern European countries were expected to be heading to Germany for the World Cup, some against their will.

Already, the European Union estimates more than 100,000 women in Europe each year are forced into prostitution.

A Berlin women's group has started an information campaign against forced prostitution to coincide with the World Cup, endorsed by German Soccer Federation President Theo Zwanziger.

Brunhilde Raiser, head of National council of German women's organisation, said forced prostitution was a violation of human rights.

"We have to fight against it and to stop it if possible. That's why we have very clear demands to politicians and the people in charge, which we have to follow up in detail after the World Cup."

Police in Berlin have said they are planning raids to uncover illegal prostitution rings during the World Cup.

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.

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.

He may be 97 years old - but five-time Olympic medalist Leon Stukelj is all set to make tracks for the Olympic Summer Games in Atlanta.

Three times the gymnast has taken part in the Games - each time winning medals for his country - then the former Yugoslavia and its predecessor states.

This year he'll leave the competition to the younger generation though - instead he'll attend the Atlanta Games as a special guest of the International Olympic Committee.

Leon Stukelj isn't your average collector of trinkets.

These are medals the 97-year-old former gymnast brought home from not one but three different Olympic Games.

At ease in his memento-filled apartment in Maribor in Slovenia, Stukelj proudly displays his victory badges.

First came two golds - for the rings and all-round competition at the 1924 Olympics in Paris at which he represented the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

He also won a gold for the rings and a bronze for the all-round competition in Amsterdam in 1928.

And finally, Stukelj brought home a silver for the rings in Berlin in 1936 - although by then he was winning for the newly-named Yugoslavia.

Alongside the medals are the Olympic certificates, including one bearing the signature of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the French founder of the International Olympic Committee.

All in all not bad for someone who competed in the Olympics while studying for a law degree.

SOUNDBITE (Slovenian):

"I was on the Olympics three times: 1924 in Paris, 1928 in Amsterdam and in 1936 in Berlin. That was the last time I took part in the competition."

SUPER CAPTION: Leon Stukelj, Olympic medalist

Born in Novo Mesto on 12 November 1898, Stukelj discovered his talent for gymnastics as he watched athletes from the Sokol (Hawk) sports associations, one of the few organisations for youth at the turn of the century.

But he wasn't a full-time gymnast - he graduated from the Law University of Ljubljana in 1924, just weeks before traveling to his first Olympics.

Stukelj may now be nearly 100 years old - but age hasn't slowed him down.

SOUNDBITE (Slovenian):

"I am 97 years old, and this November I'll be 98. Every day I do different exercises. I am spending a lot of time outdoor in our garden and in the country."

SUPER CAPTION: Leon Stukelj, Olympic medalist

When he was 38, he quit gymnastics and began working as a judge.

After he retired in 1963, he continued working as an aide to an attorney and wrote a book about his gymnastic career: "My Seven World Championships".

But his full life after the Olympics has in no way lessened his passion for gymnastics.

He still reads books about the sport and never misses a televised competition.

In addition, he strives to keep himself fit.

SOUNDBITE (Slovenian):

"I have two rings on my door, so I lift myself from time to time. At the balcony I lift myself, stretch my arms muscles in one direction, and then on the rings I stretch them on the opposite direction."

SUPER CAPTION: Leon Stukelj, Olympic Gold medalist

Stukelj is leaving for Atlanta on 17 July.

He will attend the games as a special guest of Juan Antonio Samaranch, the president of the International Olympic Committee.

And he hopes that his presence at the event will set a shining example for the younger generation of athletes.

STORYLINE:

Two days ahead of the start of the 2011 Women's Soccer World Cup in Germany, octopi across Germany strove for to be recognised as the country's latest psychic cephalopod by predicting the result of the opening match in Berlin on Sunday.

Octopi at eight Sea Life aquaria however were divided in their picks for Sunday's match: Three chose Germany, two took Canada and three made no choice at all.

Octopus Ophira in Berlin and Paul II, the successor of famous octopus oracle Paul in Oberhausen, chose Germany to be the winner.

Konstanz Sea Life Aquarium's octopus Paula though went out on one of her eight limbs and chose underdog Canada to beat Germany in the opening match of the Women's World Cup.

She shot quickly into a tube marked with Canada's flag to grab a morsel of food in an event broadcast live on national television.

All are trying to become successor to the revered Paul, who passed away in October at Sea Life's Oberhausen aquarium.

Paul gained fame by predicting eight matches correctly at last year's World Cup, including Germany's run to the semifinal and Spain's victory over the Netherlands in the final.

The octopus with the most correct choices at the end of the nearly month-long tournament will be anointed the next "official" oracle.

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.

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.

STORYLINE

Former Mexican Presidential candidate, Roberto Madrazo, has been accused of cheating in last month's Berlin marathon and race officials said on Monday after they disqualified him for apparently taking a short cut.

Madrazo was captured smiling and pumping the air in a photograph taken as he crossed the finish line in a time of 2:41:12, enough to win the men's over-55 category.

He was also wearing a wind breaker, a hat and long, skintight running pants - too much clothing, some said, for a person who'd just run for almost three hours in 60-degree Fahrenheit (16-degree Celsius) weather.

Madrazo's outfit caught the attention of New York-based marathon photographer Victor Sailer, who alerted race organisers that they might have a cheater on their hands.

An investigation was launched and organisers in Berlin found that an electronic chip tracking Madrazo's time and course showed no result for the checkpoints at 25 and 30 kilometres.

According to the chip, Madrazo took only 21 minutes to cover the 15 kilometres between the 20-kilometre and 35-kilometre marks - faster than any human being has ever run, race director Mark Milde said.

The world record for 15 kilometres is 41 minutes 29 seconds, by Felix Limo of Kenya.

In 1996, Mexico's attorney general confirmed some reports that he had spent tens of (m) millions of US dollars (euros) more than the legal campaign spending limit in his winning 1994 bid for the Tabasco state governorship.

While under investigation on those charges, Madrazo told police he was kidnapped for seven hours, beaten and threatened with death by unidentified assailants.

Police were never able to find any evidence that any such abduction had occurred, and many saw it as a sympathy ploy.

During his 2006 presidential campaign, opponents plastered walls with posters reading, "Do you believe Madrazo? I don't either!"

Democratic Revolution Party Senator, Jesus Ortega, told AP Television the that, ''this guy was always a cheater, one more is not a surprise.''

Mexico City resident, Francisco Torres said he was just pleased Madrazo didn't win the presidential race in 2006 because he didn't know "what would have happened with Mexico."

In June, Madrazo completed the San Diego marathon with a time of 3:44:06 - more than an hour slower than at the Berlin race, Mexican newspaper Reforma reported.

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.

"It's really frustrating to hear that people have been caught but all in all, in our group we normally (think), (that) you know, people dope because they need good performance and after you get good performance what will follow? Money, isn't it? But people forget that money cannot be harvested. So if you want to harvest the money, you need to plant the seeds and what are the seeds? The seeds is (are) hard training, working smart. That is not even working hard but working smart."

29. 07:34 SOUNDBITE: (English) Sarah Ochwada, analyst, lecturer and International Sports Lawyer:

"I think when it comes to the exploitation of Kenyan athletes, over the years it seems to be more rampant because between the year 2012 and now we've seen over 40 Kenyan athletes being banned for doping violations. Now, a very small percentage of that is actually what we would consider very high-profile elite athletes; the rest of them are relatively unknown."

31. 08:10 SOUNDBITE: (English) Sarah Ochwada, analyst, lecturer and International Sports Lawyer:

"The funny thing about Kenyan society is you don't even have to be guilty of a doping violation for society to look at you as a cheat. For so long as you are suspected of doping you become sort of a bad influence or a pariah according to the society around you. Most likely no one will want anything to do with you."

STORYLINE

Kenyan athletes comment on the doping crisis that has enveloped the country's track and field programme.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Lillan Mariita's home in the poor, muddy tea-plantation village of Nyaramba in western Kenya is built with winnings from racing on American roads.

Comfortable by village standards, it has sturdy brick walls, new metal roofing, concrete floors, an outhouse, a wood fire for cooking and a small front yard where banana trees and corn grow lustily in the rich, ochre-red soil.

Mariita is one of many second and third-tier Kenyan athletes who competed in races across the globe offering prize money that is powerful bait to the deep wells of poverty and running talent back in Kenya.

Such races attract a workforce of globe-trotting athletes whose methods and honesty now face intense international scrutiny because dozens of them have been busted for doping since Kenya won 11 track and field medals at the 2012 London Olympics.

Mariita was part of a stable of East African athletes in Newport, Kentucky, run by a former elite runner for Russia, Larisa Mikhaylova.

Her runners have won tens of thousands of dollars from smaller races across the American Midwest. But a string of positive drug tests among athletes she worked with put her camp on the radar of anti-doping investigators, who are now looking into her business.

Mariita failed not one but two tests in an eight-month span. Even after Athletics Kenya informed Mikhaylova by email that Mariita was suspended from competition, her agent continued to enter the petite runner for races, winning thousands more dollars before the 27-year-old's second failed test ultimately ended her running career.

Mariita told The Associated Press that Mikhaylova used to give her pills before races, saying "they were vitamins."

"Even when I ran in that race she gave me three tablets and I took them. I don't know, they look like capsules and inside it looks like this," she said, pointing to the red-coloured floor, in an interview with The Associated Press.

After her second failed drug test last July, following a race in Kentucky, Mariita was banned from competition for 8 years. That is the longest punishment of any of the 38 Kenyan runners banned for doping violations since the London Olympics.

With little education and no income from races, Mariita sees no future in her village for her and Lisa, her daughter who was born in the United States.

The two-year-old's father is Jynocel Basweti, another Kenyan runner who worked with the Russian agent. He also tested positive for banned drugs. He has stopped racing since serving his two-year ban.

Basweti told AP that Mikhaylova "was giving me some tablets."

Speaking to AP, Mikhaylova emphatically denied ever giving drugs to athletes.

Mikhaylova boards runners from Kenya and Ethiopia in a two-story house in a working-class neighbourhood in Newport, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. It has a picture of the Kremlin hanging over the fireplace in the living room.

She described herself as nothing more than a service provider for East African athletes far from home, identifying and entering them in races she thinks they can win and looking after their other daily needs, in exchange for her 15-percent cut.

She told the Associated Press that she never gave pills to Mariita.

"All my runners, they take responsibility for their selves. They have to take responsibility for their selves," Mikhaylova said.

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which governs the sport, says it is looking into Mikhaylova's camp, working together with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)

In the United States, some race directors are also taking precautions. Without waiting for the outcome of the IAAF probe, some say they are already giving Mikhaylova's athletes a wide berth.

When Mikhaylova emailed race organisers in Indianapolis last May to enter two athletes for their Monumental Mile, they responded with a copy of their new anti-doping policy. It specifies that athletes won't be eligible for prize money if they work with agents who have had two or more runners banned.

Many of Kenya's runners busted for doping were largely unknown journeymen and women, like Mariita, who pound out a living from races around the world, chasing cash prizes that can lift families out of poverty in Africa.

The majority took banned substances close enough to races for traces to still be detectable when they competed - an amateur mistake that former track stars like Marion Jones and others with access to savvy coaches and doctors, never made.

Ronald Rutto fits this bill. He was the world junior steeplechase champion in 2004.

But he tested positive in 2012 for the endurance-boosting hormone EPO at a race in Austria and was banned. He says he got an injection from a Kenyan pharmacist before he left for that overseas race, and that his life has gone downhill since.

His and Mariita's stories represent the underbelly of the top-to-bottom doping crisis in Kenya's thriving but ill-regulated running industry.

Some Kenyan athletes fear their country might be barred from international competition, like Russia, if the problem isn't solved. The World Anti-Doping Agency has given Kenya until 5 April to fall in line with global anti-doping rules.

World-beating athletes like Eliud Kipchoge are frustrated by the damage that doping is doing to Kenya's reputation.

He and other elite runners train and live together in Spartan conditions in their high-altitude camp in western Kenya, even taking turns with daily chores like mucking out toilets and doing the washing up. They say they are regularly drug tested.

Kipchoge, who has won the London, Berlin and Chicago marathons, thinks dopers are being short-sighted in pursuit of fame and fortune.

"People forget that money cannot be harvested," he says. "If you want to harvest the money, you need to plant the seeds. And what are the seeds? The seeds are hard training, working smart."

Dust clings to his eyelashes and hairs on his legs during a punishing training run through the forest that he and dozens of other athletes from separate training camps meet up for before dawn. By training together, the runners spur each other on.

They also party together before major competitions, buying sodas and roasting a sheep in a celebratory send-off. They are already planning their next one: before the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August.
