Germany has become the first European team to win the World Cup in Latin America after beating Argentina by a single goal in extra time. Substitute Mario Goetze scored with a superb close range volley. The victory in the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro is Germany's fourth World Cup. Argentina's captain Lionel Messi won the Player of the Tournament award. The BBC's Massy Canyon⁹ was at the stadium.

德国队在加时赛中踢进一球打败阿根廷，成为第一个在拉美世界杯中获胜的欧洲球队。替补队员马里奥·格策超近距离进球，里约热内卢马拉卡纳体育场上的这场胜利是德国第四次在世界杯上获胜，阿根廷队长莱昂内尔·梅西获得欧锦赛最好球员称号。BBC记者Massy Canyon在体育馆报道。

A brilliant individual goal from Mario Goetze gave Germany their fourth World Cup crown as extra time ticked away in the Maracana and we faced the prospect¹⁰ of penalties. Taking a fine ball from Andre Schuerrle on his chest Goetze fired home first time past Sergio Romero to break the deadlock¹¹ with minutes of extra time remaining. Argentina had no time to recover and the final whistle sparked huge celebrations from the German camp and tears of despair from their beaten opponent on the pitch and in the crowd.

就在加时赛一分钟一分钟过去，正面临点球的可能时，马里奥·格策精彩的一球让德国在世界杯上第四次夺冠。格策从许尔勒得到好球，胸部停球一脚扫射，球从罗梅罗身边飞进网，在加时赛还剩几分钟时打破了僵局。阿根廷没有时间收复失地，终场哨声响起后，德国粉丝团响起了巨大的喝彩声，赛场上和人群中失败的对手流下了绝望的泪水。

The win sparked celebrations in Berlin. Here is Steve Evans.

柏林开始庆祝胜利，史蒂夫·伊万斯报道。

The moment of the final whistle and the celebration started. Fireworks exploded into the Berlin sky over a crowd estimated at half a million people. For 113 minutes, as they fear they'd be deprived of the first World Cup for a united Germany, then Mario Goetze broke the deadlock. In the stadium in Brazil, Chancellor¹² Merkel literally¹³ jumped for joy.

终场哨声响起后德国就开始庆祝胜利，柏林聚集了近50万人的人群上空燃放了烟花。在前113分钟里，他们都担心统一德国无法夺得第一个世界杯冠军，然而马里奥·格策打破了这个僵局。在巴西的体育馆里，总理默克尔还开心地跳了起来。

The Palestinian Health Ministry¹⁴ says 172 Palestinians have been killed since Israel started its latest attacks on Gaza, and more than 12,000 people have been injured. No Israeli has been killed by the many rockets fired from Gaza by Hamas, and two missiles were shot down over Tel Aviv. Gerome Boyne reports from Gaza.

巴勒斯坦卫生部称自从以色列最近开始对加沙发动袭击以来，已有172名巴勒斯坦人被杀，还有1.2万人受伤。尽管哈马斯从加沙发射了很多火箭，但没有以色列人丧生，还有两枚导弹落在特拉维夫市，杰罗姆·伯恩在加沙报道。

The Israel with American support is at self-defence, but as more Palestinian civilians¹⁶ die, the pressure for a ceasefire is growing. Israel isn't trying to win friends in the Gaza Strip. It does want a weakened Hamas as an organization. But every time Palestinian civilians die, Hamas gets a popularity boost. The Israelis say Hamas attacks their people and it's therefore responsible for civilian¹⁵ deaths when Israel retaliates¹⁷. But no Palestinian will listen to that.

有美国支持的以色列处于自卫状态，但随着更多的巴勒斯坦平民丧生，要求停火的呼声在渐涨。以色列并不想在加沙地带争取朋友，而是希望哈马斯这个组织被削弱。但每次巴勒斯坦平民丧生，哈马斯的欢迎度就增加。以色列人称哈马斯袭击了本国人民，因此当以色列报复时，哈马斯要为平民的死亡负责。但没有哪个巴勒斯坦人听进去这个。

Britain and the United States have renewed calls for Russia to deescalate the worsening situation in eastern Ukraine. In a telephone conversation the British Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama stressed the need for Moscow to take further steps towards peace or face further sanctions. Fighting has intensified¹⁸ as a rebel missile attack on Friday killed dozens of government soldiers. Tensions rose further over the weekend when Russia accused Ukrainian forces of shelling across the border killing¹⁹ one person and wounding two others.

英国和美国再次呼吁俄罗斯化解乌克兰东部日益恶化的局势，英国首相戴维·卡梅隆和美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马在电话中强调，莫斯科有必要采取进一步的措施实现和平，否则将面临更多制裁。周五战斗再次加剧，数十名政府军士兵在叛军的导弹袭击中丧生。周末局势进一步紧张，俄罗斯指责乌克兰军队越过边境发射炮弹，杀死一人并伤及另外两人。
