Top NewsTyphoon Chan-Hom Lands in E ChinaAnchor:

More than one million people have been evacuated in east China after Typhoon Chan-Hom brought violent gales and heavy rain to Zhejiang and neighboring provinces.

CRI's Luo Wen reports.

Reporter:

Chan-Hom, the ninth typhoon this year, landed at 4:40 p.m. in Zhujiajian Township on the island city of Zhoushan.

It packed winds of up to 45 meters per second.

Violent gales and torrential rain have forced hundreds of flights to be canceled and many highways to be closed in the area.

More than 710-thousand people and over 81-thousand hectares of farmland have been affected.

No casualties were reported.

As of Saturday afternoon, over 1 million people in the province had been evacuated and nearly 30,000 ships recalled to port. The water level of 51 large and medium-sized reservoirs had exceeded the danger level.

According to the provincial flood control and drought prevention headquarters, about 100 houses collapsed and over 11-thousand firms closed due to flooding, causing direct economic losses of about 2 billion yuan, or 320 million U.S. dollars.

Due to safety concerns, many locals have been moved to temporary shelters.

Chen Xingdi is a volunteer in charge of food supply at a school in the coastal city of Ningbo, where about 400 construction workers are taking shelter.

"Besides the porridge here, we are still cooking more to satisfy them. We didn't know that there would be so many people; more than 100 people. Since we realized this, we are cooking porridge again."Meanwhile, over 600 flights have been canceled in the cities of Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou and Taizhou, with more than 7,300 coach rides and ferry service suspended.

Several high-speed trains were also canceled.

In neighboring Jiangsu Province, nearly 80-thousand people have been evacuated and over 22,000 ships recalled to port. Many flights were canceled out of Nantong and Nanjing.

Shanghai has also evacuated over 160-thousand people and called back 3,000 ships to harbor as the city experienced rainstorms and strong gales.

It said the typhoon felled more than 3,000 trees in Shanghai and forced the city's subway to suspend service on some stretches. More than 1,000 flights have been canceled at the city's two airports.

The municipal authorities have been high on alert for possible flooding.

Hu Xin, director of the municipal levee and pump facilities management department.

"All the new water gates have gone into operation. To prepare for typhoon Chan-hom, we activated our contingency plan according to the forecast and opened pumping stations to reduce water levels, including the newly built Hongkou Harbor station. So we have reduced the water level of the inner river of the Hongkou Harbor by 50 centimeters, to make way for possible torrential rainfall."In addition to the landfall of Chan-Hom, China has experienced three Typhoons over the past three weeks.

Meteorologists have blamed the prevailing El Nino phenomenon for increasing the number of cyclones and typhoons this year.

SCO summit reviewAnchor:

The 15th summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has wrapped up in the Russian city of Ufa.

A host of documents adopted at the summit draw a blueprint for the bloc's development in the next decade.

As CRI's Luo Bin reports, analysts say these will lift cooperation within the SCO to new levels.

Reporter:

The SCO Development Strategy until 2025 was approved at the summit.

It charts out the course of future cooperation between the bloc's member states in terms of politics, security, trade and people-to-people exchanges.

It also encourages the member states to expand exchanges with other regional and international organizations and enhance the bloc's influence worldwide.

Particularly, the comprehensive blueprint prioritizes in-depth economic cooperation.

During the summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, agreed to build the SCO into a major platform to combine China's Silk Road initiative with Russia's aspirations under the Eurasian Economic Union framework.

Director of the institute of economics, finance and business at Bashkir state university Rustem Akhunov is upbeat about the prospects for cooperation between SCO and the Eurasian Economic Union.

"I think cooperation between SCO and Eurasian Economic Union has a very promising prospect, especially in the economic aspects. The two organizations can develop together, complement each other and work together in program implementation."Another highlight of the summit was the bloc's first expansion since its establishment.

A ratified resolution gave green light for India and Pakistan to become SCO full members, elevated Belarus to the status of observer, and took in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cambodia and Nepal as dialogue partners.

It is believed the accession can help iron out differences between traditional rivals and reinforce efforts against terrorism and extremism in the region.

Akhunov says the decision could help the bloc to serve as a platform for broader economic and political cooperation.

"In my opinion, SCO will have a new development and will become stronger. And in that circumstance, it will become an organization which provides new ideas and suggestions for world economy and international political development."The summit also saw the release of a statement, calling for resolute opposition to any distortion of the results of WWII.

Leaders of all SCO member states have confirmed their participation in China's commemorative activities this September in Beijing.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov oted that the SCO takes a zero tolerance stance on Nazi heroisation.

"SCO members have made a lot of efforts to remind the international society not to forget the cause and the result of the war, not to forget who won the war and who tried to conquer the world and build a world structure of single-level dictatorship. Therefore, SCO members including Russia and China and other countries take a zero tolerance on Nazi and Nazism heroisation."Also adopted at the were several documents concerning security and stability in the region, including an agreement on strengthening border defense, a cooperative outline on combating the "three evil forces" and a joint statement on tackling drug production and trafficking.

Leaders of the six member states stressed that joint efforts must be made to respond to conventional and non-conventional challenges and threats.

Deported illegal Chinese immigrants planned joining jihad: policeChina's Ministry of Public Security has confirmed that the 109 illegal immigrants, who were repatriated from Thailand to China on Thursday, had been on their way to Turkey, Syria or Iraq to join jihad.

Of the 109 illegal immigrants, 13 had fled China after being implicated in terrorist activities and another two had escaped detention.

According to their accounts, many had been radicalized by materials released by the so-called "World Uygur Congress" and the so-called "East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM)."Several recruitment gangs were uncovered in Turkey by a Chinese police investigation, which also discovered that Turkish diplomats in some Southeast Asian countries had facilitated the illegal movement of these terrorists.

The ministry said a large number of radicalized Chinese and the heads of organized gangs, also known as snakeheads, have been deported from Southeast Asia this year.

China opposes U.S. statement on Thailand's repatriation of illegal immigrantsChina has voiced strong opposition to and dissatisfaction over a U.S. State Department statement that condemns Thailand's repatriation of over one hundred illegal immigrants to China.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement that the U.S. statement has ignored facts and is full of political bias.

She added that China has lodged solemn representations with the United States regarding the issue.

Hua Chunying urged the U.S. to have a correct view of China's efforts in addressing illegal immigration, stop making wrong comments and safeguard the healthy and stable growth of China-U.S. relations.

Sixth suspect of Fox Hunt extradited by Chinese policeChinese police have taken an economic fugitive back to China on Thursday from South Korea after eight years of effort.

The suspect, surnamed Li, swindled over 1 million Yuan from investors between 2004 and 2005.

Li then fled to South Korea with the money.

Cheng Shuming, an official from the Beijing Public Security Bureau, says the police found the suspect's address by combing through her social relations.

"This case was handled by the Changping Branch Bureau. The suspect fled to South Korea. We combed through all her social relations beginning in 2014 and got her address. Then we arrested her."Li is the sixth arrested fugitive since this April, when China launched a campaign codenamed Fox Hunt.

Operation Fox Hunt aims to repatriate economic criminals who fled aboard.

Suicide Attack in Chad capital kills at least 16At least 16 have been killed in Chad after a man disguised in a woman's burqa blew himself up at the gate of the capital city's main market.

The suicide bomber was among the dead.

74 others were injured.

A spokesperson for Chad's police force Paul Manga has confirmed the reports.

"Very early this morning, around 9 O'Clock, a terrorist dressed in a burqa - also known as an abaya - tried to enter the N'Djamena Central Market. Suspected of being up to something, he was stopped by the defence and police forces at the market's southern entry, who asked him to unveil. After trying to enter by force, the terrorist was overpowered and immediately blew off the charge he was carrying under his burqa."Right now, no group has claimed responsibility, but Chad says the Nigeria-based Islamist militant group Boko Haram is to blame.

This is the third suicide attack in Chad's capital city in less than one month, with some 34 people killed in the last two attacks.

Since then, Chad has made at least 60 arrests and raided an arms cache to dismantle militant networks.

Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD to Contest ElectionMyanmar's main opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has announced that her party will contest a national election in November.

Aung San Suu Kyi told a news briefing on Saturday that the decision was made by her National League for Democracy's Central Committee earlier in the day.

She said the party will compete in all three levels of the parliamentary elections and in almost all constituencies.

"We will run the elections at every constituency that we can. As you know, there are over 1,200 constituencies all over the country. We cannot run in all places as there could be some of the constituencies that we can't but we will run at most places."Suu Kyi will compete in her original constituency Kawmu, a township in Yangon region.

The ballot will decide three-quarters of parliamentary seats, with a quarter reserved for the military.

The newly formed upper and lower houses will nominate and vote on who will be president later.

The NLD boycotted the 2010 polls when Suu Kyi was under house arrest.

It took part in by-elections in 2012 and won 42 house seats.

Suu Kyi's own presidential aspirations are curtailed by a clause in the constitution that bars individuals with children holding foreign citizenship from becoming head of state.　　But she said if the NLD won in a landslide, it would ensure the next president was agreeable to her party.

EU Ministers Meet Again over GreeceAnchor:

European finance ministers are holding discussions in Brussels on whether to negotiate a third bailout for Greece.

Sources familiar with a preparatory meeting said ministers' aides had endorsed with reservations a recommendation by EU institutions and the IMF that Greece's new reform plan did provide a basis to launch negotiations.

But as CRI's Wang Mengzhen reports, the current major obstacle is a lack of trust in the Greek government.

Reporter:

A number of officials arriving for the Eurogroup meeting, such as Eurogroup chair Jeroen Dijsselbloem, spoke of a fundamental lack of trust after years of broken Greek promises and a snap referendum called by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

"We are not there yet, both on substance - there is still a lot of criticism on the proposals, on the reform side, on the fiscal side and there is of course a major issue of trust. Can the Greek government be trusted to actually do what they are promising, to actually implement in the coming weeks, months, years? "Greece submitted its formal request to the European Stability Mechanism on Wednesday, asking for a three-year loan from the bailout fund.

The country then submitted a detailed package of reform proposals to the Eurogroup on Thursday night, pledging to carry out a new package of comprehensive reform measures promptly.

A positive assessment of the Greek proposals delivered by the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund late on Friday, along with bullish comments from Athens' key euro zone ally France, had raised expectations that the Eurogroup would give a green light to new loan negotiations.

But even French Finance Minister Michel Sapin, Greece's most powerful ally in the euro zone, said that the Greek government had to "re-instill confidence".

"It's up to the Greek government to bring information to re-instill confidence, which has not been damaged by this government, but by every Greek government over many years which have sometimes made promises without making good on them at all. Today we need to have confidence again, to have certainty that decisions which are spoken of are decisions which are actually taken by the Greek government."Greece's parliament backed the government early Saturday to carry out the new package of reform measures with 251 votes in favor versus 32 against.

If the Eurogroup agrees to open negotiations, a planned emergency summit of 28 European Union leaders set for Sunday may be cancelled.

Otherwise, if the finance ministers couldn't reach an agreement on renegotiation, Athens has a last chance trying to persuade leaders on Sunday to open negotiations.

Without a debt deal in the coming hours, Greece will face a financial collapse and a Grexit. Greek banks have been closed for the past two weeks and are running out of cash while the country's economy is suffering from capital controls.

Greece has been in arrears to the IMF since July 1 and faces a 3.5-billion-euro debt repayment to the ECB on July 20.

Anniversary of Srebrenica Massacre MarkedTens of thousands gathered at a cemetery near Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday to mark the 20th anniversary of the 1995 slaughter by Bosnian Serb forces of over 8,000 Muslim Bosniak men and boys.

Dozens of foreign dignitaries attended the ceremony, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic.

Clinton, then U.S. president at the time of the Bosnian War, delivered a speech and apologized that people waited too long before the war ended.

"On behalf of my country and from the bottom of my heart - I love this place. I never want to see a killing field like this within thousands of miles of here."After the ceremony, remains of 136 newly-identified victims were laid to rest.

The massive killings took place after the U.N. "safe area" fell to Bosnian Serb forces towards the end of the war between 1992 and 1995.

Over 6000 victims had been identified and buried.

The memorial comes just days after Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that described the Srebrenica massacre as genocide.

Russian Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin said the draft provided by the United Kingdom contained distortions.

Serbian PM Attacked at MemorialSerbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic was attacked by several people with stones and bottles when he paid tribute to the victims of the Srebrenica massacre on Saturday.

The Serbian prime minister expressed his regret that some people did not recognize his sincere intentions, adding he will continue to work to build friendship between Serbians and Bosniaks.

"I'm sorry that some people didn't understand my sincere desire to build friendship between Serbs and Bosniaks. As I said this morning in my statement, regardless of the fact that this was difficult - also for my family - and that the majority of Serbs think this was an injustice, regardless of the fact that I saw such animosity as I have never seen anywhere until now, my hand remains outstretched to the Bosniak people, and I will continue with this policy."The President of Bosnia and Herzegovina has issued a statement to express "deepest regret".

Mayor of Srebrenica Camil Durakovic condemned the attack, saying he was very disappointed with the incident.

Social Media Campaign Reveals Women of Famous VE Day Photo70 years ago, a US army photographer snapped an iconic Victory in Europe day photograph, capturing two women wading in London's Trafalgar Square fountains.

After a recent social media campaign by Britain's Imperial War Museum, the identities of the two women have been revealed.

CRI's Wang Mengzhen reports.

Reporter:

On May 8, 1945, thousands of people flocked to the streets of London to mark the end of the six-year-long war in Europe.

In the famous Trafalgar Square, two young women climbed into the fountain along with two sailors. The exciting moment was immediately captured by a US army photographer.

Since then, the image has been widely used around the world to represent the VE Day celebrations.

But one question lingers: Who were the two ladies smiling in that fountain?

Thanks to a social media campaign launched by Britain's Imperial War Museum, 89-year-old Joyce Digney has been identified as one of them.

Living in Vancouver, Canada, Digney still remembers the VE celebration 7 decades ago.

"It meant it was all over, there was going to be no more bombing. I lost an uncle, he was 38. Three weeks before his second baby was born. You know, the bombing was very unpleasant to say the least. And the fact of losing family and friends in Europe, there wasn't going to be any more of that. That was the feeling, the horrible part is over."The other woman in the photo, Cynthia Covello, died in the 1980s. The two women were life-long friends after meeting each other while serving in the Women's Land Army.

It's estimated over 12,000 metric tons of bombs were dropped on London by Nazi forces during the war.

As for the Imperial War Museum in Britain, finding Digney is a perfect way to commemorate the VE Day anniversary.

Jesse Alter, web producer of the museum, says he was not expecting such a quick reaction after calling for help to find the women online.

"When we put the call out initially on Twitter and Facebook, we thought; 'Maybe it would be a few weeks and we'd hear something and we'd take it and see how it went'. But actually it was 24 hours and someone got back in touch pretty much right away and put us in touch with a family member and then we were able to speak to that family member who confirmed the story and put us in touch with someone else. It all just happened really quickly."Alter believes the photo of Digney and Covello fully expresses the euphoria felt across Europe at that time.

"The photo really resonates with people, the emotion is very clear in their faces and that sense of joy they must have been feeling - particularly around, victory in Europe was just announced, the celebratory atmosphere in London was just immense - and that really comes across."Digney is now looking forward to her 90th birthday and is currently enjoying the public attention from the photo.

For CRI, I am Wang MengzhenNASA Scientists see images of Pluto's geology patternsNASA officials are reported that they can see black and white images of dwarf planet Pluto's geological patterns sent back to earth by the New Horizons' mission.

The New Horizons spacecraft is set to be the first probe to visit Pluto, as it is approaching the distant planet after a nine-year journey.

John Spencer, New Horizons Co-Investigator, talks about the fresh images of Pluto taken on July 9 from over 5 million kilometers away.

"It is just amazing what we are seeing now. It was a gradual approach and every picture is just a little bit better. Now every day we just see the whole new view of Pluto, that is telling us things we never knew before. We are seeing these crazy black and white patterns. We have no idea what those mean. We are seeing a lot of circular things that we are wondering are those craters or are they something else. We saw circular features of Neptune's moon Triton but they are not craters. So we should know in a few days but right now we are having off a lot of fun just really speculating."Pluto's closest approach is scheduled for next Tuesday, when New Horizons will pass within 10 thousand kilometers of its surface.

At that time, the spacecraft will have 30 minutes to conduct multiple tasks, including photographing, determining the icy worlds, and scanning Pluto's atmosphere.

In April, New Horizons spotted a possible ice cap and other surface features of the dwarf planet.

Chinese donor's stem cells transplanted into young IndianThe stem cells donated by a Chinese man have been transplanted into a 16-year-old Indian boy suffering from leukemia.

Vimarsh Raina, a medical expert in New Delhi who helped with the operation, says the Indian teenager is in stable condition.

The donor, 37-year-old volunteer of China Marrow Donor Program, says he never expected to save a foreigner when he joined the CMDP in 2012.

The transplant took place on Saturday morning, shortly after the stem cells arrived in India from China.

The chance of two non-relatives having stem cells matched can be less than one in tens of thousands.

Headline newsTyphoon Chan-Hom lands in east China, wreaks havocTyphoon Chan-Hom has made landfall on Saturday afternoon in east China, bringing gales and heavy rain to Zhejiang and neighboring provinces.

So far, no casualties have been reported.

The typhoon has forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights and the closure of highways.

Power supply to more than 200-thousand households in the coastal Ningbo city has been cut off.

Over one million people in Zhejiang have been evacuated.

In neighboring Jiangsu Province, nearly 79-thousand people have been evacuated and over 22-thousand ships recalled to port.

Shanghai has also evacuated over 160-thousand people and called back 3-thousand ships to harbor as the city experienced rainstorms and strong gales.

Official data shows Beijing's total population stood at 21.5 million last year.

Sci&TechAnchor:

It's time now to check on the latest updates from the science and technology sector in the past week in our Weekly Sci-Tech feature.

New details about the elevation of China's broadband speed have been made public.

Tech gaint Google is beginning to test its self-driving cars.

And Apple is tapping into the music streaming industry.

Let's catch up on all the latest with CRI's Wen Jie.

Reporter:

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology or MIIT, gave a briefing on Monday about its progress on the elevation of China's broadband speed as well as the reduction of internet bills.

Shang Bing is vice minister of MIIT.

"Average charges for mobile phone internet and fixed broadband should sharply decrease by at least 30 percent by the year end. For fixed broadband, if conditions permit, all copper cable users will have their internet speed upgraded to 4 megabytes per second or Mbps free of charge. In some cities, we will increase the speed without raising the fees."According to MIIT's plan, telecom enterprises will have invested more than 1.1 trillion yuan or about 180 billion U.S. dollars in upgrading China's internet infrastructure by the end of 2017.

The major three telecom operators, China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile, have also released their plans to elevate the broadband speed and lower internet fees.

////Unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs, better known as drones, are being developed and applied in more fields in China, as continuously upgraded technologies help boost China's economic growth.

In east China's Shandong, researchers from Qingdao have developed a UAV with a mechanical arm that can be remotely controlled to collect algae from the sea.

Another company in Qingdao has come up with a solution in the event a UAV's engine shuts down during flight.

Li Hua is deputy head of the company.

"As it is impossible to completely avoid the chance of a UAV crashing during flight, we have added a parachute to the vehicle. Currently, only two companies in the world have this technology - one is Swiss and the other is our company."UAVs are now widely applied in aerial filming, examination of high voltage power facilities, public security surveillance and agricultural production.

In central China's Henan Province, UAVs were used during the national college entrance examination for the first time this year. By detecting radio signals around examination sites, UAVs helped to detect students cheating using electronic devices.

////Apple Inc. has thrown its hat into the streaming music industry, with its Apple Music service launching in more than 100 countries and regions.

For 10 U.S. dollars a month, users can listen to any music from Apple's iTunes music library.

With the tech giant pushing into the currently booming business, competition to win over listeners in the multi-billion dollar music industry is booming.

However, Jeff Smith, co-founder and CEO of Smule, a social network that allows users to play music through its mobile apps, speaks highly of Apple Music's huge iTunes music library.

"Apple's got such a significant head start in that respect on the rest of the competition because, keep in mind, Apple has been selling music for over 10 years. Apple displaced Wal Mart as the number one retailer of music back in 2008. Apple already has around 800 million credit cards from people who are buying music today."Many analysts say traditional radio and even satellite radio are rapidly losing users to streaming music apps such as Spotify, Pandora, Rhapsody and Rdio.

However, some experts believe streaming music apps still need to increase awareness of their features and also get creative with pricing.

Arriving late to the streaming music game, Apple faces challenges to contend those loyal users who have already been sharing playlists among networks of friends for a long time.

///North Carolina State University researchers have developed new technology designed to improve communication between dogs and humans.

Through "smart harness", a computer-equipped backpack that fits comfortably on a dog's back, two-way computer-mediated communication between dogs and handlers can be achieved.

Using a tablet to send signals to the harness and to the dog, the researchers are able to see how the dog reacts and interprets the modes of communication.

The technology can also reveal the position of the dog -- whether it's standing, sitting, walking or running -- by sending signals back to the handler.

Researchers say the technology has multiple applications, including for search and rescue dogs and training pets.

Dr. Barbara Sherman is a clinical professor of behavioral medicine.

"Just as one example, this project gives us the capability for the dog to inform us of that sort of information and for us to evaluate the dog's welfare. Is it overheating? Is it in a safe area? So with interfaces on the dog, we can keep the dog safer and be more sensitive to the subtle information that the dog is communicating to us."Much of the technology comes off the shelf but the researchers are repurposing the equipment for use with dogs.

////Google Inc has begun testing its self-driving cars in Austin, Texas, expanding efforts to gather information on how the prototypes interact with traffic.　The company has been testing self-driving prototypes since 2009, mainly around its Silicon Valley headquarters in Mountain View, California.

The Google self-driving cars have humans on board who can assume manual control of the vehicles if necessary.

Austin resident Volma Overton watched the prototype in action on Tuesday, and said he was excited about to learn about the new technology.

"That's going to be a really fun technology to follow. I think it's a lot more efficient than what we have out right now. This seems to be as the really obvious solution for traffic relief."Google executives have said the company does not want to build its own self-driving cars, but would prefer to find a development and production partner.

Google and other automotive manufacturers and suppliers have said the technology to build self-driving cars should be ready by 2020.

////Japan has developed an eye-tracking virtual reality headset which let users interact with the environment just by looking at it.

The FOVE headset uses eye-tracking technology to give the wearer an immersive and completely hands-free virtual reality, where all of their actions can be controlled by their eye movements.

Yuka Kojima, CEO of developer FOVE, says its technology could not only revolutionize the gaming industry but have applications to help people with various disabilities interact with their surroundings.

"I think people with disabilities often face the struggle of not being able to express themselves fully, or enjoy the things they like without the help of somebody else. But with the head-mount display a person can independently control the headset with his or her eyes. This encourages self-expression, and it also helps the person create his or her own world within the luxury of solitude."Eye-tracking cameras installed inside the headset, along with an accelerometer that senses head movement, allow the user to view their environment in 360-degrees. 　The developers hope their headsets will open new worlds for many people, especially those who struggle with the use of their limbs.

And that actually brings us to the end of this edition of our weekly science and technology report.

Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoyed the show.

SportsSerena Williams Beats Garbine Muguruza to Win Her Sixth Wimbledon TitleAnchor: World Number One Serena Williams won her sixth Wimbledon Title in the women's final on Saturday, beating Spanish player Garbine Muguruza by two sets.

CRI's Duan Xuelian reports from Wimbledon:

Reporter,The World Number One didn't manage to put her best feet forward in the start, losing 3 games in a row in ten minutes. But she soon found her usual self and turned the game around in the middle of the first set.

However, her 21-year old opponent would not easily give up. One set behind and into the later half the second set, she managed to up her game and saved 3 set points to extend the match a little longer. The resilient Spaniard also fought through two championship points against the empowering Williams. But, it was just not to be.

Two years after she was crowned queen of Wimbledon, Serena Williams holds the trophy once again.

"It feels so good. It's been a while and you really appreciate holding it. I have to give thank God watching over me for the day, I really relied on his strength. Garbine, she played so well, I didn't even know it was over cause she was still fighting so hard in the end and I was like OK do I have to serve again? So congratulations, don't be sad, you'll be holding this trophy very very soon, believe me. You have great chance."Missing her first grand slam title, Garbine Muguruza, the Spanish star player was reduced to tears but saw the whole center court standing up in applause for the extraordinary performance on her part.

EntertainmentHarrison Ford reflects on ups and downs of Star Wars' fameHarrison Ford has made his first public appearance at Comic-Con since the plane crash in March which left him hospitalized and injured.

Harrison together with other cast and filmmakers of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" debuted a new behind-the-scenes reel and teased some new information at Comic-Con about the highly secretive film.

Harrison Ford says the young actors in the new "Star Wars" movie need to ready themselves for both the light and dark sides of fame.

He said he told actress Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey in JJ Abrams' "The Force Awakens" to face the change in life.

"Your life will change and you will get used to it, and you will be by turns happy and delighted and employed, and then you'll wonder what the hell happened, every once in a while. Because you've turned from - the natural state of an actor is to observe life around them. And now you have to figure out how to do that when all anybody is looking at is you.""The Force Awakens" is set to hit theaters in December.

Harper lee's new novel " go set a watchman" to be releasedThe release date of Harper lee's new novel " go set a watchman" is slated for this coming Tuesday.

The first chapter of Go Set a Watchman, Lee's sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, is available on UK paper The Guardian's website.

In the story's introduction, we find Jean Louise Finch, best known to audiences as Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird, on a train from New York heading to visit her father Atticus in Maycomb, Alabama.

The text is mostly scene-setting, catching the audience up on what's happened since To Kill a Mockingbird.

Interestingly, the events of the first book aren't directly referenced, instead using familiar characters for what appears to be a whole new story.

In addition to a text-only version, a recording of Reese Witherspoon reading the text is also available.

Expectations are high for the new book, which came under scrutiny after the announcement of its release, over questions that Lee wasn't able to consent to its publication.

However, those concerns have been somewhat allayed by recent reports of the author's support.
