world cup history a win for the machine would erase all of the near misses the team has had in the past decade and mark the first world cup won by a european team in the western hemisphere. who will lift the 2014 world cup? the best defense or the best offense? it depends upon your philosophy and only one thing is for certain. the the entire world will be watching north korea launching a pair of ballistic muscles. this is just the latest in a series of test firings by north korea and south korea ian officials say about 90 such test fire fangs been launched by the north since february. >> secretary of state george kerrvy in ve beina. the united states, britain, france, german, russia and china want to restrict iran ability to make an atomic bomb. the secretary of state says theirs is a long road ahead.
