CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Time now, though, to check on some of the stories making news overseas in our 'Euro Edition.' Hala Gorani live in London.
Good morning -- Hala.

HALA GORANI, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Carol.

Well, on the front pages of every single newspaper in the U.K., at least, it's the victory parade of the English Rugby Team. There you have it on the tabloid "Daily Mail," heroes, and you see the entire rugby team there riding on an open top bus through the streets of London.

Same thing for the broad sheets, surprisingly. This kind of front page, you would think, only reserved for major events on the international scene or perhaps a political victory. The entire first half or the entire top half of "The Daily Telegraph," a very serious right leaning broad sheet, 750,000 cheer English heroes.

"The Independent" as well. Look at this, it's just amazing. It's the first time since 1966, Carol, that England has won a major sporting event.

COSTELLO: Wow!

GORANI: So they are, I'm not going to say milking it, that sounds a little bit negative.

COSTELLO: Come on, they are milking it.

GORANI: But they are definitely celebrating it. A scrum in the streets, a line out at the palace and a day that belonged to the nation, so there you have it.

"The Guardian" is the only broad sheet -- absolutely -- that is not really headlining on the rugby team victory. It does have a small picture here in the middle, small compared to the others.

But here is their main story, Israel trains U.S. assassination squads in Iraq. This is according to "The Guardian." Israeli advisors are helping train U.S. Special Forces in fighting the insurgency within Iraq with some of the tactics, according to "The Guardian," that have been used in the occupied territories. U.S. Special Forces teams are already behind the lines inside Syria, according to "The Guardian," trying to stop insurgents before they cross over into Iraq. That was in "The Guardian." COSTELLO: Boy, that's really interesting, Hala, because some of the tactics that we have seen used in Iraq are similar to those used in the Palestinian territories, as in, you know, the blowing up of insurgent's families homes, the arresting of suspected insurgent's families. I should say not arresting but the detainment. So that's an interesting article. I'll have to read that one.

GORANI: Absolutely. And also certain villages surrounded by barbed wire in the same way that we would see in the Palestinian territory. So "The Guardian" has an interesting piece on that, definitely worth a read.

And a quick last word on Ozzy Osbourne. It's in the papers this morning, in quad bike horror, according to "The Mirror." There you have it.

COSTELLO: Quad bike horror.

GORANI: And you have many of the papers also looking...

COSTELLO: That's a little extreme.

GORANI: We don't know exactly what the circumstances of the accident. Well, I mean he broke seven or eight bones in his body. And there was talk before this morning that perhaps one of the blood vessels attached to his collarbone, and I'm not exactly sure what the details of it are, but that he might have lost an arm or that doctors might have been forced to amputate an arm. That has not at all been confirmed. And doctors are saying that they have repaired that blood vessel so that's fine and that the collarbone has also been repaired. Those are the latest details on his medical condition. But he is stable, apparently, in London.

Back to you.

COSTELLO: And we're glad to hear that.

Hala Gorani live from London this morning.
