Hundreds dead in Venezuela earthquakes
International aid teams from multiple countries are joining rescue efforts.
With many believed to still be buried beneath rubble, Venezuela鈥檚 interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, has said UN-certified rescuers would be joining the search for survivors. The United States is deploying two warships, along with transport planes and helicopters. Specialists from Turkey, Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK will also be involved.
Also on the programme: a World Cup match between Iran and Egypt in Seattle causes friction as it coincides with the city鈥檚 Pride celebrations; the discovery that Mars once had Earth-like magma systems beneath its surface raises the possibility of life on the red planet.
