Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez says the number of people killed in two earthquakes on Wednesday has doubled to 589, with 2,980 injured. We speak to people affected. Rumours continue to swirl about whether pop queen Taylor Swift will marry NFL star Travis Kelce at New York City's Madison Square Garden over the 4 July Independence Day weekend, after city officials confirmed someone applied for a street closure permit nearby. We speak to our Taylor Swift experts. And many international fans visiting the US for the World Cup have become frustrated by the culture of tipping there. We speak to restaurant workers in the US and hear views on tipping from around the world. (Photo: A man stands on the rubble of a damaged building in Catia la Mar, Venezuela, 26 June 2026.
