a winner at wimbledon since steffi graf ages ago in one thousand nine hundred six i looked up and i was reading how kara described her win as a dream come true tell us how did she do it really is a green dream come true she's had a fantastic tournament she's any drops one set so far and that was in the second round it was a very quick match to get today against serena williams just an hour and five minutes bungee cabos found the form that she had in twenty sixteen when she won the australian open and the u.s. open and was the final of wimbledon when she lost the serena williams let's see how kava won her grand slam title. oh i think we were supposed to have a piece i'm going to have a piece on actually care one here the other has seven wimbledon titles to her name but she found she kept after it's over ruled by serena williams and the occasion on center court she didn't show it the germans tactic of forcing her opponent to make errors pay dividends in the first set and then williams tightened up her game in

the second it was too little tonight i ever fell to the ground when her victory was confirmed one champion congratulating a new one at the net carvers the first german woman since steffi graf in one thousand nine hundred ninety six to get her hands on the wimbledon title. so really an exciting day for actually a camera some disappointment of course first arena williams but it must be said she just had a baby ten months ago i mean even this if she meant is really remarkable isn't it absolutely incredible she's only right twenty fifth of this tournament even to make a tournament without having had a baby within the last year to make the final is incredible enough she hadn't got past the last sixteen in the previous four totem and she'd taken part in and of course yes it was a big disappointment but she said at the time this is for all the mothers out there this is true you can see if you put your mind to it what you can achieve and it is incredible september first of last year she gave birth to alexis limpia and then

ten and a half months later he's she is the final of wimbledon and it just goes to show that serena williams is without a doubt the best in the world of tennis very inspiring for all of us mothers i can say that now. there was another major sporting event today can tell you at our place we were flipping back and forth between the two channels watching the tennis and then of course also watching world cup soccer belgium winning third place knocking england right out to nail tell us about that match and what he anybody who's expecting more than two goals today will be bitterly disappointed because given has four belgium as you mentioned winning two nil the first goal coming in the fourth minute will see the ball comes from the goalkeeper people. people who twa and even nasa chad the head whipping in the cross to thomas i mean yeah it's the first and fourth minutes i there were chances of both sides after this but it was belgium who came out and talked in the second goal in the eighty second minutes you see the past the to get in has of the caps and to do the belgium in the eighty

second of it the best ever finish the world cup and so now they've managed fourth place that was ninety six and today they go home with bronze medals around the next you know i often wonder how the teams feel about getting third place i mean you are so close to making it to the final but can they look forward to a bright future if they did this well at this tournament absolutely and that color behind is quite fishy this is a golden generation of belgian players. you have kevin the point of them and new kaku fantastic individual players who are playing as a team and doing so fantastically well for belgium but the key to me is to keep them about the martinez their coach he's proved in his top career that he's not been very good in the league but in cup competitions he's been very very good he can also get his team to play on one off games and you see this developing as well so not seen as was full of support and praise for his team out of the final whistle but we saw in these well overseas players didn't want to rely on the talent anymore wanted to rely on working as a team becoming our group of players that they would do anything you want to your

results the standards would be magnificent we're going to very good stuff around them but they wanted to make the country proud and they wanted to make every single belgium red devil fun extremely proud and that goes for the. all right so martinez talking about how important teamwork is you and i were talking earlier about didn't really work for the german team this time around at the world cup not such good teamwork the belgians can be very proud of that. but then at the same time must be said england did very well they did surprise everybody including perhaps themselves where do they go from here is the same as those in their ways up they would do incredibly well many fans not thinking they get past the group stage and here they did it they made it inside the finals of course losing to quatre unfortunately but they had that penalty win against colombia for the first time since ninety six that it seems that but all the teams are off of the group stage kind of sussed out what england's game play was which is quite often from set pieces nothing of the twelve goals they scored at the world cup so far came from set pieces that some have to

improve on caps and harry came one of those players who schooled five this is what he had to say after the final whistle. today shows in some of the game so that there's no room for improvement. he said that we don't know what we're going to finish off yet which to that everything. would be good but i don't know what i did i want to improve every every time it's a given. they have it hurricane saying he wants are improving the whole team have to improve it really does have to come from him as well as the captain and the main striker has to step up again if england want to reach a semi final final any time soon well one more honor that perhaps harry cain could be winning is of course the golden boot just how good are his chances for that he's been very lucky he scored five goals from set pieces three of those coming from penalties and the two people catch up with him up playing some more in the final us on foreign correspondent can and back pay both of whom on three goals and would need to score a hat trick to overtake him which would be very very difficult because the last time that happens was in the world cup final in one thousand nine hundred sixty six jeff scoring three past germany then so it's very unlikely that they'll catch up

with him so he'll go home with the gold and so nick i know you're going to be watching the match tomorrow solely of course that nick mechanic or it's always good to talk to you. to other news now and a flood warning is in effect for a tiny village in greenland and not because of rain or a raging river but because of an iceberg off the coast many residents have left their homes as a precaution in case the iceberg suddenly breaks apart and inundates their coastal community captured silently on film a huge chunk of ice collapsing off the ice back into the sea. it's perilously close to it a tiny village on greenland's western coast with just one hundred sixty nine residents . many of them have been evacuated and expert sort of device in caution. because that was great for you you should always have respect for icebergs
