from a political dynasty what how was he so successful in getting the lift. well of course he addressed the groups that have not brought from the politics of alexis c. process and that was in particular the middle class he is about to count a real estate tax by 30 percent something many people were angry about he will also cut a number of other taxes and really wants to bring business back and go inc and then of course he made some promises about cutting of bringing down the bra crissy and also bringing in new jobs particularly for young people a group that in the european elections and also this time around a lot of people voted for him the people in greece hope that he might bring the change and also has the capacities as a highly educated man who comes from a political dynasty who has the experience and potentials of the power to bring the

changes the country needs and gail we're talking about a country that's really been bassett economic t.m. is the mood in athens today subdued and is it because of that i mean missile attack is quote it a painful era. that is quite interesting here christine really and i'm standing here outside the parliament and when the 1st polls came out when the preliminary results came out there was silence here there is no euphoria there is no cheering there is no almost hardly any reactions hardly any people out on the streets at least here in the center of town and that was very different when alexis tsipras won the elections some 4 years ago none of none of the excitement is here it is really that of a political experiment that of the far left has come to an end tonight in greece all right that's all gayle his reporting in athens thank you.

the 29000 women's world cup has ended in france and the united states have successfully defended their title off to beating the netherlands 2 nil make and reppion know and rosenfels all the u.s. goals in the 2nd half it's the 4th time the u.s. have won the tournament. behind the familiar stripes on the flag of the growing only familiar stars in the line up the americans lived up to the hype of heavy favoritism to compare to the dutch gold i with make an rypien though often the provider the newest and morgan was denied by the brilliance of saudi van veen and. the 29 year olds hands kept aside in the before half time as the teams were level with the bright it wasn't until the hour mark before the hand of the video assistant referee would finally break the orange resistance a penalty awarded rypien 0 stepped up and put one hand on the trophy. the captain capping a tournament in which he laid on and off the pitch. like minutes later rose laville put the finishing touches on the victory with

a 2nd go deserved win that makes the usa world champions a 4th ton. megane repeat no winning player of the tournament as a team made history in rio. all right indeed obvious all star spun it over them when he was at that final indian he joins us now hey ali so did the best team win. absolutely there is only one team that deserved to win this game and only one team that deserved to win this tournament the usa have been phenomenal and they were the better side again today it did take them a while to crack the dutch in this game but once megan rapinoe tucked home that penalty you knew exactly which way this one was going roosevelt of course then confirming that with a wonderful run and strike i do have to give some credit to the dutch though and in particular their fans who kept on making noise throughout the game kept singing their songs kept banging the drums and in stoppage time with clearly all lost for

that same there were still waving their flags they really brought a lot to this game and a lot to this tournament and not in particular was a moment that you really felt this is what football is about. right i can imagine the energy that must have been in that stadium will you but this is the 4th time the u.s. have won the world cup is there still a big gap between them and be at the teams. there is clearly still a gap i mean the u.s. is come away from north america to europe and they've beaten the hosts to bone backyard they've beaten this upstart england saying they've beaten the european champions and rightly be crowned champions of the world here. but we have seen some reasons to believe that things could change you know this is been the most competitive women's world cup i can remember seeing and the only way that's going to improve is if countries commit to improving women's football and that means committing funds committing attention can and committing to trying to get more

games on t.v. trying to get more fans in stadiums that is the only way that any other country is going to close the gap on the united states but i think we've seen signs here that it is possible they only saw one more scene just a word on megan rapinoe who's really grabbed the headlines at this tournament. absolutely i am struggling to come up with things that haven't already been said about meghan repeat over the last month she really has been the star of the show here i think all i can really add is that she is exactly the kind of figure that women's football can build around and become as big as the men's guy you know she is somebody who speaks so eloquently and intelligently about a range of different subjects she stands up to things beyond just you know playing on the pitch although she does that in a wonderful wife as well she is somebody who has really brought this woman to life she's somebody who the whole thing feels like has revolved around that so i'm sure she rightly goes away with the golden ball on the golden boot as the top goalscorer

on the best player what else can you say she's the star of the show all righty and a well deserved win for the u.s. as we hear from a sports correspondent in the on many thanks to you it's not just some of the other stories making news around the world iran has warned that it will begin the invasion uranium beyond the limits set by the 2050 nuclear deal with the agreement aims to could have tehran's nuclear ambitions the u.s. pulled out last year prompting diplomatic efforts to salvage the deal. is cutting 800000 jobs in a multibillion dollar restructuring germany's biggest and is laying off one in 5 its workforce of its 3 years in the hope of stemming huge losses deutsche bank is also skating back its global stocks and investment banking operations. and celebration german film producer author brown has died at the age of $100.00 brando
