europe, it was italy who had the strongest team, the only team that did not have individualities but a collective. we deserve to win, and we want my g o, the, by the hello tiffany wembley want to tell the families dressed to deliver the highest of honors. he's the only want to know ring holder was god. oh, as for the england fans, they dressed down to fit the mood of what was to be yet another footballing wake. the, i don't even watch too when i was looking incredible sog or aligning either way and i just like, you know, put everything into the eco box

as morning broke in italy, the spoils. the decree will return to their new home. yeah. who has indeed come to run the and with the view from rome, we have seen a group that is standing by in the italian capital. you know, it's a really big way here for the story. what are italian saying? what are they feeling today? well, i think it's just jubilation across the board. we saw the partying last night here in rome, but to out the country as well. a be great feeling, a sense of pride to see the duty of 34 games on beaten led by roberto mancini, who had clearly created a very strong team here bringing that final and bringing that car back to rome. the 1st when the european championships since 968, and let's not forget,

they didn't qualify for the world cup back in 2017. and that of course was a real down point. but now are things been lifted up? the papers, the other sporting papers saying it all through port bello is the headline for let's get it to the less bought. and that means that it was just too beautiful for the career. then a sport, another sport paper, it's ours and all that, all. and people sports saying simply it's now is only ours. so essentially really an overwhelming. 1 sense of pride today the team is expected to meet with the italian president said to martha rella as well as the prime minister, marty druggie. and you know, we have mentioned that it's coming of course, against the backdrop, a very difficult year and a half in italy, which has been hard hit by the corona virus pandemic in that context. fema. how important is this when i think it's very significant. i mean, it's lee has just been to 18 months like many other countries,

but at the same time, it really was the 1st western country to be hit, go hard. it was at the epicenter of the corona virus 10 demi, when it exploded on the stage, italy law more than 127000 miles of ours. and that's the largest figure in the european union. so all those tough locked the desire to be together, but not being able to be together. it all culminated in this when last night, which essentially brought people together. yes. again, on a very positive and joyful note. and i think there was almost a sense of relief over that fact when people were on the streets cheering each other on and just feeling nothing but pure joy in the piazza. it's the same group in rome. thank you. and joining us here at the studio is max merrill from d w. sports max. we have to say italy was really strong throughout the tournament. did they deserve to win last night?

i think so, and on the balance of things, i mean it was sort of their tournament, they grasped it with both both hands. we have to remember they didn't go into this woman as favorites as seem as said they didn't qualify for the world cup 3 years ago. then they came in here with a team full of players who don't necessarily play the top clubs and it's least some of them, of course do. but the chemistry was so vital about them and she was able to fight, mold them together into this group, playing energetic, aggressive football. that's not words we usually use to describe italian football. them are usually more cautious and patient. they said that they can do that as well . again, spain and then again, it's leigh also knocked out belgium on the way so thoroughly deserve really overall with a great group of players and q lenient benoit. see those 2 defensive still. what's finally getting rewarded for years of impressive work for italy as well. ok, so thoroughly deserved. and that coming from england found we have to mention closer. maxine to tell us, you know, speaking of lena, story has emerge now of these 3. and when players who miss their penalties in the

final shoot out, tell us a little bit more about that. yes, unfortunately, you know, that has been some racist abuse online, and that's something that, you know, they've now react to bars. johnson has reacted to by calling it a pulling. so the football association in england have also said anyone who is doing this is not, should not consider themselves through england. and these free players also young, also brave to step off in such a high pressure situation. you know, it's a situation where you have the, the pressure of nations, expectations on your shoulders at to be so young and to have that happen to you is obviously a big blow. but we should reward them for that bravery for their courage to stand up in the situation. and hopefully there will be more people now coming out, supporting them and voicing them their position against these racist gar southgate . and his whole school done so much to position themselves against racism, taking them the head of matches and speaking about openly and press conferences. so we should lord the bravery of all these plays and specifically those 3 who have,

you know, mr. penalties. yes, but had a great tournament and did so much for their countries and they did indeed also taken the last night we have to mention the at the beginning of the game. tell us, i just want to switch gears for a 2nd and maybe you can pitch it forward for us now because we know that, you know, we have the world cup coming up and could tar. how did the lease chances look? now? would you say based upon what we've seen now? yes, i mean 2022. well cup is just over 500 days away. so you're not the usual got we have between 2 tournaments like this italy, you know, they have a fantastic school. what i would say is, celine and benoit, she, those 2 defensive players were so going to go to their play. $34.36 respectively. so we might see, but news retire. we could even secure levy either a higher will come into the tournament just a little bit older than he would like to be for that kind of occasion. so it's a tough one for it's the they can have to kind of change the god a little bit. but there's a lot there already, a core of plays in their mid twenties and that's kind of the age. you want them to be that at their prime, the same can be said for english even most so they have

a lot of young players. and most of those plays that we saw play last night would possibly be in that team for the world cup. so 2 teams of great chance is going into the upcoming world cup. it's lee, maybe just tweak beth that aging defense a little bit. max merrill sports. thank you. let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world. ukraine's president validity, as the lensky is in berlin, where he has been received by german president from walter stine meyer. lansky will also hold talks with the german chancellor. they are expected to discuss your claims reform process. and the conflict in the countries east. ukraine is seeking you and nato membership accord, and jordan has sentence to former officials to 15 years in jail for attempting to destabilize the monarchy, bought some odd $1.00, and sharif hassan bins i had were found guilty of conspiring to install prince holmes as

a ruler. he is the half brother of the king prince has waited charges in india say that lightning strikes have killed the least 18 people. as monsoon reigns and thunderstorms hit, the country's north. among the dead or children forecasters have warned of more lightning strikes. over the coming days, south africa's army says that it will deploy soldiers to help quell unrest sparked by jailing of former president jacob to ma. at least 6 people have been killed in the looting and protest. violence broke out last week when zoom began, serving a 15 month sentence for contempt of court. looters had ransacked a mall in the coastal city of durban over night. another shopping mall lay in ruins in the regional capital of funds, a tub after it was torched on sunday. the rest is mainly concentrated in the home province of sula natal. but it has also spread to johannesburg,

south africa, economic powerhouse. but that's because president fuel run the poster has condemned the violence. here's what he had to say, that those who may be hurt and angry at this moment. there can never be any justification whatsoever for anybody to embark on violent and destructive and destructive directions that's negatively affect the rights of others. and let's get more on this now. we are joined by d. w. very on christine. when was standing by in cape town. proceed, we understand that south africa, the army is moving into the effected regions. now, what more can you tell us about this unrest, sarah, it is clear that this unrest is intensifying, is started breaking out last week, friday, that was somehow was off. the former president had been incarcerated. it started

out as people playing free. they had them mobilized around the highways in the country, rocking grades. but by the time we went into the weekend, it was clear that this looked beyond that we now saw images of people ransacking factories, shops, and talks about the burning of a shopping mall. very a truck like the truck drive is targeted. so there has been an intensive occasional design in many cases. if you look at that age, you either do not see police or where they're all police. they appear to be helpless as a mom runs health, skelter, going a mark in particular location. and so as we understand is the police have locked for assistance. who's behind the violence, christine? so this is a initially you have people in the camp. i mean one particular his daughter to do

her recount is very active. she has been retreating. some of the videos of the rest of the country, essentially mobilizing the formal presentation support to say that she needs power to the people. this is us taking a stand and flip a or the unconstitutional detention off her for them. so there was that, but it is also clear that they are now opportunistic criminals who jumped onto this and he said he heard the president's allude to it last night as well. people walking into shop that ran 2nd people are saying that no longer has anything to do with the former president's detention. but these are now just criminals, violent criminals, who have now taken advantage of the situation because they're all kind of out in the street. can you tell us a little bit more about, you know, you've mentioned that there. the fact that the most appeal trial was really a big trigger for all of this violence, christine, what are the champ his chances of success? now, at this new court hearing, just tell us what's going on there. well,

essentially zoom is lawyers have to, it's to make the case. to demonstrate one of 3 things. the court handed him the sentence, which is by the way, the court that he is appealing at now he's off the court to make a decision off. it's ruling to basically cancel if you want demonstrate the 3 things. one that the judgment was for, to the court, made a mistake and truly all 3 that new information, new documents have emerged. since the court made a ruling, a lot of legal experts as they are listening to the case watching it live as it happening in this country, it is being stream. a lot of people view that he's not been able to successfully demonstrate their free condition. we are looking like it's going to be an uphill battle for the, for the president, africa, to have the courts that found that convicted and sentenced him to resend that particular decision he remains is behind bars, as we speak. christine when, while with the view from south africa. thank you so much. christine protests have

broken out in cuba with thousands of people taking to the streets against the socialist regime. demonstrator is expressed frustration at food shortages, rising prices, and the lack of cove in 1900 vaccines. the government has tried to blame the us for the unrest and is rallying its own supporters. yeah, they crying out for freedom in the streets of a van of the greatest show just content with the socialist government. the 1919 like fact in the trigger for this project is the desperate economic situation. right now the country is suffering from food shortages. we're here because of the repression of the people they starving us to death have on it is collapsing. we have no homes, nothing. now the soon the police arrive and they begin to drag off people in the crowd. oh the arrest and the violence only

makes it demonstrated angry. we are not afraid. they cry out. security beat me and my daughter a child. they beat us just because we were walking down the street. the supporters of the government have been out in the straits to president miguel diaz can know himself led. this rally was organized quickly in a town outside of banner, where the anti government protest began early on sunday. so that we came here to show together with the revolutionaries of this town, that the streets belonged to us with the president encouraging, supported to mobilize against opponents. there were ugly confrontations. here revolutionaries detained opposition. protest to the cubans who were here. we had never going to give up this revolution. never the

communist regime, his root cubis into 959. it supplies the pool of the soviet union and the depth of its found the fidel castro. now would, it's again been challenged on. 7 so that's why it's like the show. it is unlikely to go without a fight. and here are some other stories making news. police in haiti say that they have arrested a man, they allege flew into the country on a private jet and conspired to assassinate president jovan louise. the haitian national allegedly worked with the masterminds of the killing. louise was shot dead and his home in port a prince. early on wednesday, thousands of people in georgia have rallied in front of parliament demanding the resignation of the prime minister. they are angry over the death of a tv camera man who was badly beaten by

a mob of anti l. g. b t q. protestors. the man was later found dead in his home, but it's not yet clear how he died. mandatory evacuations have been ordered in northern california, as firefighters struggled to contain a massive plays there. the so called back worth complex fire doubled in size over the weekend of his now the largest in california. it is thought to have caused by lightning in cost by lightning. more than 60000 acres have been burned. for instance, trying to ramp up its slumping vaccination campaign as the highly contagious delta variant of the koran a virus games ground president. the menu mccall is expected to announce plans this evening for a law that makes it compulsory for health workers to get the job. not everyone thinks this is the right way to go. just celine has had her hands full during the pandemic, hoping some of the most vulnerable at this retirement home south, east of paris,

to protect them. the assisted nurse has been wearing masks and gloves, but there is one precaution. she'd rather not take, at least not for now. why i don't care if it would kill want to wait a bit longer before i guess. i mean, i do know we need to know more about these new vaccine, 1st of all, the government, because a lot of things wrong at the beginning of the pandemic. i don't want to rush into the, you know, precipitate shows like her almost powerful francis nursing stuff. have not yet been immunized, but forcing them to would be unfair, says just celine, to wear the pandemic heroes. and now we're the black sheep because we prefer to wait before guessing the values that make so angry and snippy. a probably guess it just means manager agrees. she says, such a rule would cause major problems for the nursing home home, you know,

they should try something instead of forcing the already struggling, find personnel on several of our highly qualified stuff. i've said that if they had to get the vaccine, they'd rather quit their jobs out of the yes, so do you like stuff? but this far all just things that if france is going to prevent the next k with 900 way from overwhelming hospitals, vaccination will be crucial. and that includes health workers let port to have a 12 i gas book song, the vaccine give 95 percent protection against severe symptom coffee. so you know, if we need to guess 80 or 90 percent of the population immunized ethics. especially with the delta variants nor which are those in an infected person impacting one other than this one i'm, i think they start to a huge number of skis, you know,

so from just over one 3rd of the french population is fully vaccinated. and the number of 1st jobs per day has been falling over recent weeks. but the government knows that time is of the essence. that's why it has been ramping up its campaign to push people to go back sunday, in the media through post. and with him from where we vaccinations like this one just outside harris city. for here you can get a coke with 19 jap without having to book a slot and it's on making health care workers get vaccinated might help the country approach the crucial vaccination threshold. but reaching it remains an appeal trucker. and let's cross over to lisa lewis, who is standing by with more from paris, lisa, you know, we saw you, they're telling us a little bit more. why is it that so many health care workers in france are so reluctant to get back to needed?

well, there are days as in the report who prefer to wait a bit longer. they feel also that they haven't been at the front line of, you know, doing the pandemic ever since with again, more than a year ago. and they've been using other methods to protect themselves against pivot 19. and they felt that these measures were actually effective, such as the globe marks, and also keeping a distance to people. and also surveys show that nurses and assistant does especially get the information on. because in 1900, pandemic, often through social media and on the internet through various light sources. and they're more likely to actually, you know, believe, slightly conspiracy theories really, as opposed to doctors who've had different medical training and, and who are more likely to get the vaccination the job. and that's why, you know, sometimes more than in certain areas, more than half of the nurses are still locked in to get a job because in 1900 job. wow. and when we look at the broader population as well,

you know, it's not just nurses, france has one of the highest vaccine skepticism rates in europe. how big is the overall concern that perhaps, you know, more vulnerable people won't be fully protected, especially with a 4th wave looming? well, there is a lot of concern here, and the government has been saying of the past few days and all these vulnerable people who are still not all of them, not all of them are vaccinated just yet. they should go and get the jet. there are enough jets available. you just need to book an appointment of the there is a lot of concern because more than half of the new infections are now with the very contagious delta variety. and also, we know that at the moment we've got about $4.00 to $5000.00 infections, new infections per day. but biologists are predicting that this number could go up to 20000 at the beginning of august. and so everybody insists that it's really important to push everybody to get vaccinated and fast president the menu mccomb

will address the nation tonight. what we'll talk about he's like me to announce this, you know, obligation for nurses and here for medical staff to get vaccinated. he's also likely to talk about other measures. we have this so called health path here, you know, we chose 5. either you got the 2 jobs will you get infected with cobra recently, or that you've got a negative test and that passes so far. i only need that pass for events where there are more than a 1000 people. now, the government is likely to lower that threshold so that at least at events, you know, a few 100 people inside gathering that everybody needs to show that they don't have code at this very moment in time. the president is unlikely to say that another lockdown will be coming at the moment. he is likely to battle in other measures to

slow the spread of the kevin 1900 pandemic, at least, until people get vaccinated. lisa lewis in paris, thank you. lisa fans finally intent as novak joke of which has claimed his fixed wimbleton title to equal the record for most grand slam titles. he recovered from losing the 1st set to beat its leaves. mateo baron teenie in 4 sets and sundays. final victory puts joke, a bitch level alongside roger federer, and ross, an adult. i'm 20 major titles. after his victory, he was asked where he raised himself among the tennis grapes. will i consider myself best? and i believe that i am the best. otherwise, i wouldn't be talking confidently about winning slams and making his 3. but whether on the greatest of all time or not, i leave that debate to other people. i said before that it's very difficult to
