Newsday

Available for 28 days

Spain defeated Argentina one- nil after extra time, in an often cagey and sometimes tetchy final in New Jersey. Spain's fans erupted in joy at the final whistle, but there were ugly scenes on the pitch as some Argentine players clashed with the victors. From Ukraine, we hear about the draft dodgers - and the lengths they'll go to stay out of the army. Andy Burnham is set to become Britain's seventh prime minister in a decade later today. Will his tenure usher in more stability? We'll speak to our correspondent.
