it was a nail biter finish. one goal did it. super mario the 22-year-old who did it. the substitute that came on and got that goal. he's going to get a roar from the crowd. wall to wall coverage from the media, it's been incredible. i have to say, mario, what a moment for him. when it was halftime of extra time, the coach said to him, look mario, you're the man. you're better than any other players on the argentina side. you're the man to go on and score the goal, and he did. that conversation will go down in the history books i'm sure. here is what we're seeing. just incredible now isn't it? >> reporter: never seen a sporting event like it.

look at the crowds. can't even estimate how many are here. there's talk of half a million. this is an afternoon in berlin. people should be at work. you can forgive them once. they are the champions of the world. this german team has outshown all expectations. people here were confident the day before the game. >> you can understand why. brazil 7-1. no one could have predicted that. there might have been a few people around the world to bet on that money. one man bet had the would be the result. he went home a happy man. 7-1. >> remember we were standing here sunday night, the quiet that descended over the crowd. they realized this wasn't going to be as easy as they first thought. >> they still had a small sense they were going to do. there was a moment that was

definitely quiet. it was incredible the elation when super mario scored the goal. he was an instant hit overnight. he wasn't expected to be the hero. you can bet when he comes out on stage he'll get a big applause. >> players are on the bus holding the world cup through the window. there's people lining the streets in the streets. they must be beside themselves to receive this welcome. great to be here in rio. i heard they said we're not going the to feel it until we're back home. >> these players have been in brazil a month. stalking to berlin here, they think they can match rio go one better. world cup has been in brazil. forget brazil today. it's all in berlin. players must be full of elation. when they get on stage today, you won't be able to to hear me or you talking. you'll hear one thing, the roar

of the crowd. >> this is great. whoever took home the trophy there would be this type of scene. this is the first european country to win on latin american soil. it's exciting across europe. it surprised me how many british fans traveled over to berlin for the gape. perhaps there's support across europe. do you think down to the fact all though many players are in the league, some play for premiere sides as well? >> absolutely. this is the world game. it's the most internationally watched game. we saw that against brazil and germany. that was the most tweeted about sporting event in history. >> how many was it, something crazy wasn't it? >> 300,000 or something. it's hard to comprehend. what's interesting for me for this world cup, the scale of countries that you wouldn't think would watch have been

tuning in. pakistan, countries you wouldn't think. i remember one tweet from bangladesh studying for an exam. he said forget it. i'm watching the world cup. >> we had a shout out on twitter from people all over the world. it was phenomenal. more than a billion watched this final around the world. that makes it the most watched sporting event in history. the average super bowl in america gets about 150 million. 1 billion people around the world watch had the final. huge interest globally. i hope you've had a since of the party and what's happening here. we're going to keep the coverage going. we're still it watching for them to arrive. it's taking a long time.

fans are not impatient. you'll come back in a moment. for now, back to the studio. >> not sure how far a way they are. we'll keep a cross on live events in berlin. i'm geeta guru-murthy. this is bbc world news. let me bring you up tow date with our top story this hour. the israeli security cabinet has accepted an egyptian cease fire proposal. the plan has been rejected by hamas who said they were not consulted. they want an end to the israeli siege and blockade of gaza. 20 rockets have been fired from gaza since the deadline started earlier today for the cease fire. let's go to kevin in jerusalem. can you tell us the hamas position.

>> hamas has leaders in exile and in hiding in gaza because of bombardment. it's going to take a while for a coherent picture to emerge of what the movement of a whole makes of the egyptian proposals. the first words came from the mill tamilitary wing in gaza. we know talks are continuing, still going on. there's a 12 hour window built into this from 9:00 in the morning to 9:00 in the evening for hostilities to wind down. israel has accepted the cease fire. hamas in the course of the day maybe talked around but the problem for hamas is simple. it needs to emerge from conflict showing people there's something concrete to show for levels of

suffering and destruction they've lived through over the course of eight days. that isn't going to be a military achievement. hamas needs political. it wants a prisoner release by israel. it wants easing of economic restrictions, tight border patrols which israel and egypt impose on gaza. there are things to talk about. it's possible hamas's position may soften over the course of a day. a lot depends not on what people are saying but what they're doing. how many rockets are fired at israel. what will israel do? >> this is an enormous question. can i ask you to briefly explain how the israeli and palestinian positions have changed as a result of the other political shifts in the region? >> well, israel views the middle east at the moment, everything happening in syria and iraq as a time of enormous disturbance and instability.

for decades israel has prepared its security plans if you like on the basis of formal armies from syria and perhaps iraq. in future, it is going to deal with a level of chaos, the kind of thing we've seen happening in iraq and syria as those two countries seem to be on the edge. israel wants quiet with gaza. it wants quiet where it can be achieved as it adjusts to new middle east. hamas is more isolated as a result than it used to be. it was an ally of regime in syria. that meant friendship and money from iran. it backed the rebels in syria. it found itself isolated on that frobtd. it's not a friend of the regime in egypt where it was of morsi. suddenly it's quite isolated. it's possible and many analysts believe the sudden upsurge from

violence was a way to put itself in a position to argue the economic and political concessions we're talking about. israel and hamas try to find footing in the changing middle east. this war, eight day conflict, has been one symptom of that complexity. >> many thanks for us live in jerusalem. israel has said it will observe an egyptian cease fire. british foreign secretary hague announced he's stepping down soon. he gave reaction to the proposed seize fire. this is the outgoing foreign secretary. >> it will be welcome if there's an agreed cease fire. more work needs to be done to make sure such a cease fire can hold. it's vital it's observed by both sides. this requires hamas to stop launching rockets against israel as well as israel to agree a cease fire.

i welcome the role that egypt has been playing. i've had discussions with foreign minutes administers over the last few days. uk will continue to work for an agreed cease fire and to deliver humanitarian assistance to the people of gaza. >> william hague there. in other news today. pope francis added his voice to those calling for action to protect and care for tens of thousands of children migrating from central america to the united states. the pope said urgent measures are needed to deal with the humanitarian emergency. and in hay toy discuss the epidemic that killed 800 thousand people, he comes to grieve with the families. chinese authorities are beginning criminal investigations into three former high ranking officials over allegations of corruption. those are close associates of

the former national associate chief who's already under investigation. 10 have died on the moscow metro as the train derailed. more than 150 have been injured. the train was traveling to the center city at the time of the crash. we are at the scene in moscow. explain what we know the situation on the ground. are people trapped or have they been pulled out now? >> we understand there's still some people underneath the ground here. in the words of a policeman, he didn't say directly. the way he spoke indicated those people may not be alive anymore. we've seen emergency helicopters take off again a while ago. this may mean some are heavily injured, still being carried

away. as you said, ten people. no one is certain this is the final death toll. this figure may rise. some of the people are badly wounded. >> do we know how this accident happened? authorities indicating it is an accident and not any kind of attack. >> three cars derailed. the passengers were flung against the walls. in the beginning they tried to explain this as loss of current or emergency braking. they've stopped now. they say let's wait for the investigation to tell us exactly what happened. yes, we know it's a crash. no one talks about terrorism or explosion. we don't know what caused the crash. >> what are we learning about how people have been able to get out? the train stopped between stations didn't it? >> yes. i spoke to one man in front of of the train that was not

injured. he said they spent over an hour in the darkness without having clue what's going on. one by one they were led through the train, onto the tracks and outside. that didn't concern -- the situation was different for those in the wreckage. the wreckage was so badly excessabthey had to use equipment to get those out. different situation for those in the cars derailed. >> we're hearing half those injuries have very serious injuries. thanks. to ukraine i think soon. first of all we're going to bring you what's happening in germany. this is a tour bus carrying the german football team at the top. greeted by hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of berlin.

the chamber of yoeuropean parliament. he needs 376 votes to be elected next president of the european commission. i'll let you into a secret. i think he's going to get it. that's because a deal has been done between the center right and center left groups in the parliament to divide up jobs. that should give him more votes than he needs to succeed. will there will be a debate before the vote. we can expect criticism of him from the antiskeptic parties here. the former prime minister will accept at a critical time. he'll probably have two big issues to deal with during his time in office. number one, sorting out the economy and the way it's governed. number two, dealing with britain's relationships with the rest of the european union. that's in the future. straight away, he needs to sort

out other members of his commission. 28 commissioners, one from each member state. it sounds easy, but it's not. everybo everybody wants the best jobs. his leadership and powers will be put to the test right away. >> chris morris reporting there. if you're looking for holiday destinations out of this world, you might be able to get that. here in britain, a number of locations are building launch pads for space tourists. one of the sites is in north whal wales. you could be going wearing a space suit by 2018 apparently. there isn't a working space plane as yet. companies are working on designs to send tourists up to space as well as satellites. extraordinary thought. we're going to finish this half hour section on those pictures from berlin.

time. then they'll they'll probably join in the party. i'm told the bus has arrived. they are here. they are at the brandenburg gate. the sense of anticipation is unbelievable. you can see everyone with cameras out as well. flags are flying. okay. i can't see the big screen. i can tell you that's what the fans are look at. apparently the team are here and waving. they'll be out here any moment. with me watching is my colleague with me since the final on sunday night. have you ever seen anything like this? >> never seen an event like this. it is incredible. as you said, the bus has arrived. we're literally seconds from the german team waving to berlin. the capital of germany, seems like the whole country has come to berlin for the event. >> there's a sense of pride here that's incredible.

the german flags and colors today black, red, yellow. >> they're two and a half hours late in berlin. it's a hot day. some people have been waiting 12 hours. they arrived late last might. some set up tents to make sure they got the best seats. doesn't seem to be aggression or anger. people completely understand that berliners want their moment. apparently the players are holding the world cup to the window so people can see. we understand the bus has arrived and players will be presented soon. it will be nice and interesting to see which player gets the biggest draw. germans feel this is a team not win play their a won. >> the winning goal scorer, super mario, we assume he'll get

the biggest roar. they played as a team, been together as a team. the manager did go out and show messy how to play football. >> i want to know if that's true. apparently halftime he said to mario you're better than mess messy. go out there. >> it's an interesting day. sunday night, the world cup final. it was pouring down with rain here. i'm not sure if viewers can hear us. the crowd here is incredible. you and me have learned new songs standing up here. this is an incredible scene. viewers enjoying a little more of that. we're expecting the team to walk on at any moment by the guide

known by yogi. you can't put anything past him. we saw the goal scored by super mario. he didn't show ounce of emotion. he almost knew that was going to go in. that was indicative of the german culture. they felt they had the part to win and showed us. >> he really is quite something. you're right. he had a ten year plan, completely expecting this. some said expectations going into the world cup were not as high. we had the first victory against portugal and i think every german thought they could do it. the semi final, 7-1, what in incredible. there was no doubt at that point they were going to bring home the trophy. >> they had confidence they were going to win. i was talking to a brazil fan

today. she's half brazil, half german. i asked who's side she took. she said there was no time. it was so tense for moments when messy had a chance and other players looked like they were going to score. look now. sunny day in berlin and biggest party on the planet. let's enjoy it. >> we have to remind our viewers, this is a working day. big companies stopped production lines to allow workers to watch the final. i don't think that's happened today. you have to feel sorry for germans that couldn't make it out. to be part of this. people have been telling us they feel like this is a part of history. >> history in the making. >> as we were saying, it's a team for all germans. it's representative of germany.

they've given up to the minute updates. the first picture i saw sunday night was a tweet from players and angela merkel selfie. that went around the world viral. you can imagine how big social media will be at the next world cup. >> i've got more questions about social media. just to tell our videoeewer, we understand players have gone inside for a bite to eat. they're a bit hungry. they've been signing t-shirts. i guess you understand. long flight and then the trip through the city. they've got this ahead of them. >> i think you can forgive them for something to eat. it's been a long flight from brazil. i imagine a lot of them haven't had much sleep or to eat. perhaps rest and a pep talk before they come on. >> one of the things he said straight out of the game was great to be in rio to celebrate.

this is the moment he's looking forward to. i think players realized it's real greeting the fans. they want to thank fans for a great month of football. germany played consistently throughout the tournament and delivered great attacking football that was entertaining to watch. germans have been enjoyings this the whole month. there's stadiums and parks where people bought their couches. they were allowed to bring couches from home, sit there and watch games. you'd see open air spaces at airport where people were able to watch. germans have relished every moment of this world cup. they played such an exciting brand of football. >> they link up well, have shots on target. they don't close down games. they tried to win. that's the type of football the manager has installed at the club. it's a beautiful city of green parks and public spaces. the world cup has been played

out at the public spaces. it's incredible. everyone has come out here. people here since early hours in the morning. people that slept here overnight to get the best position. lucy, been an incredible world cup. what a fitting finale to be in berlin so far from brazil. >> we're going to hand you back to london at the moment. we'll see the team come out and be welcomed by this incredible crowd that is here. >> stay with us here as we bring you more coverage from the german capital from berlin as they welcome home the world cup champions. >> you probably can't see the pictures we've got of some of the players there just looking at a peek shot of the crowd. we've seen the super cool

mr. lowe taking a peek outside. we see key members there. we're waiting for them to come out as a group on stage. we will be back there. they're having a little bit of food, little snack to get them through the next couple of hours. we will be back live at the brandenburg gate. let us move on to our other top story today. there's been fast moving developments this the gaza crisis in the last few hours. earlier today, the israeli cabinet accepted a cease fire proposal. it will continue if the hamas rocket fire does not stop. israel's military says up to 20 rockets have been fired from gaza into southern israel. there have been no reports of casualties so far. well, in the last few minutes the israeli prime minister gave his reaction to

today's events. >> if hamas rejects the egyptian proposal, and the rocket fire from gaza does not cease and that appears to be the case now, we are prepared to continue and intensify our operations to protect our people. >> we'll see hamas figures in cairo to discuss the deal. the organization rejects the cease fire as it stands. they weren't consulted. they want an end to the siege and blockade. james reynolds has more. >> we've been given a statement from the hamas spokesman. he said the hamas movement did not receive the proposal. we are not part of the announce skpmt not going to commit to it. that's what hamas told bbc this morning. in southern israel not far from the gaza border, people have heard a number of explosions. we heard of a rocket landing 30

kilometers from the border with gaza. >> he's also saying that they want an end to the siege and blockade in gaza. they're talking about the long term situation. they're saying they will continue their fighting and defend their people. the fact that rockets have come over, how far will israel go. how long will it allow for a decision by hamas on this cease fire? >> the israeli army this morning after the security cabinet's decision to a bide by the cease fire. the the army made it clear to hold the cease fire. if it's attacked by hamas, the army said it would respond. we'll see if the number of rockets in israel in the last hour or so will be met with the response by israel. in terms of hamas demands, it's made it clear it wants the border to be open and prisons to be released. that's not part of the egyptian

cease fire proposal. >> james there. stay with us. much more to come we'll be live in berlin throughout the show. we've seen glimpses of the world cuppers in berlin. we'll be back. the answers. the solutions. the innovations. all waiting to help us build something better. something more amazing. a safer, cleaner, brighter future. at boeing, that's what building something better is all about. ♪ my treadmill started to dress g i mibetter than i did.uts,bout. the problem was the pain. hard to believe, but dr. scholl's active series insoles reduce shock by 40% and give you immediate pain relief from three sports injuries. amazing! now, i'm a believer.
