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 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 an os hit a tiny village on greenland's western coast with just one hundred sixty nine residents. many of them have been evacuated and experts are advising caution. as guys that i speak for you should always have respect for icebergs because they can all be dangerous when they're the size it can split without a warning and that can create a big title we economists or so there is absolutely every reason to pay close

attention. but despite the danger now finished just can't hope to be back in the home soon. and. most likely in a few days the iceberg will drift away with help from mother nature thanks to wind in sequence. still mother nature can be unpredictable and now it's safer to stay away from the ice. horizons for it's news now and germany's unsurely camper has won her first a wimbledon title beating american tennis legend serena williams and here with me in the studio to break it all down is nick mechanic life force nick good to see you so i heard earlier that kara described this win as a dream come true how did she do it she's been fantastic for his tone as he talked as one sat on the way to the final that was in the second round is a quick match but it took about an hour in five minutes to beat serena williams but

she's found the fullness she had in two thousand and sixteen when she won the australian open the u.s. open and weeks the final of wimbledon where she lost to syria with him so she finally got the better of it this time around let's see how she won her third grand slam title. one never won here the other has seven wimbledon titles to her name but she found she kept after overruled by serina williams out of 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 again in the second it was too late so tonight. i ever fell to the ground where have victory was confirmed one champion congratulating a new one at the net covers the pros german woman seemed 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 serena 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 twenty minutes she 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 it's 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 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 you have 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 when he

anybody who's expecting more than two goals today will be bitterly disappointed because given has four belgian as you mentioned winning two nil the first goal coming in the fourth minute will see he have the ball comes from the goalkeeper people good people. and anyone that's a travelling. whipping in the cross to thomas i mean yes this is the first and fourth minutes i there were chances of both sides after this but since belgium who came out on top in the second goal in the eighty second minutes you see the past the to get in has of the cats and to know the belgian needs a second of it the best ever finish well cup and so now they've managed fourth place that was in one thousand eight hundred 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 were 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 fitting this is a golden generation of belgian players you go ahead and you have kevin the point of them and 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 mr belgium as well so much seen as was full of support and praise for his team out of the final whistle that we see in these will go because these players didn't want to rely on to tell it anymore wanted to rely on working as a team becoming a group of players that they would do anything you want to your results the standards would be my new percent were 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 i go for them. all right so my team is 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 going to 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 there 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 sheaves that but all the teams off of the group stage kind of sussed out what england's game play was which is quite often from set pieces none of the twelve goals they scored at the world cup so far came from set pieces that some have to improve on captain harry k. one of those players who schooled five this is what he had to say after the final whistle today shows him 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 that was to let everything go. but you know this group of guys i know that i want to get i want to prove every every time we're going to. have it hurricane saying he wants to improve in the whole team have to improve and it really does have to come from him as well as the captain and the main striker he has to step up again if england want to

reach a semifinal final any time soon well one more honor that perhaps harry king 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 that's on one course molecule in and back pay both of whom are on three goals and would need to score a hatrick 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 pos 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 live from delhi's for it's always good to talk to you. and a quick reminder now of the top story we're following for you. palestinian militants say they've reached a truce with israel this comes after two coast indians were killed in what israel says was a daytime air strikes in the gaza strip in view of the operation comes after an
