hello from the bbc sport centre, i m becky davis. let s start at the women s world cup where new zealand produced a huge upset to beat norway, with hannah wilkinson scoring the winner in front of a record crowd for a football match in new zealand. that was the only goal of the game, with new zealand missing a penalty in the closing minutes. it s a huge result for the co hosts who had failed to win any of their previous 15 world cup games. i still have goose bumps. i still have emotions in me. we waited for this moment for such a long, long time and having this opportunity at home, beating norway, strong opposition, hearing ourfans be behind us, that isjust unforgettable moment. well in the second match of the day, the other hosts, australia were dealt a huge injury blow when their star player sam kerr was ruled out of their opening two matches. it didn t trouble them too much though, as steph catley s second half penalty saw the matildas began their campaign with victory over

Guess, and i think around 100 million for oppenheimer. barbie, $1a5 million. yes, and i think around 100 million for oppenheimer. not cheap but i will say this the money is on the screen for both, sometimes you watch a movie and feel short changed but neither of these have a feel. really interesting and talking about the performances and ryan gosling, what else stands out in terms of those two films? ryan gosling steals the show from underneath barbie s plastic feet but in terms of oppenheimer, it is the cillian murphy show for sure, he is in very much in nearly every scene and he is exceptional, this

Both positive and negative. firstly on barbie: paul mcguire grimes commented: barbie s poignant, touching will have you in awe by the end thanks to its design & brilliant performances sarah knight adamson stating, hands up, it s the most creative, fun loving, serious & heartfelt movie this year and christopher llewllyn reed remarking the cast is game, but the script is lame whilst oppenheimer has also seen positive and negative reviews with: james mottram commenting oppenheimer is more than just a historical biopic. it feels like a movie for our times victor lopez g it s managed to turn a biographical film with a seemingly dull premise into a transcendent overwhelming spectacle and odie henderson oppenheimer far too often feels like a three hour wikipedia entry than a compelling movie that s just a flavour of some of the reviews. let s talk to bbc radio one
