Venezuela · La Guaira · 24 June 2026 · Developing · filed 4 July 2026 · Saturday late afternoon (ET) · 4 updates
On 24 June, two earthquakes struck Venezuela less than a minute apart at magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5. Ten days on, more than 2,600 people are confirmed dead, some 38,500 more are reported missing, and in the coastal city of La Guaira, families spend their days at a converted port storage facility called Los Silos, watching more than 1,000 catalogued images of bodies cycle across television screens to try to identify someone they love.
World Cup · Round of 32 · Egypt & Australia · Settled · filed 4 July 2026 · Saturday late afternoon (ET) · 6 updates
Egypt won 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday night — the first knockout-stage win of Egypt's World Cup history. Emam Ashour headed the Pharaohs in front after 13 minutes; a Mohamed Hany own goal drew Australia level early in the second half. In the shootout, Harry Souttar's opening penalty flew over the bar, Lucas Herrington struck the crossbar, Mohamed Salah — playing through a hamstring strain — chipped a Panenka down the middle, and Hossam Abdelmaguid tucked away the winner. Egypt now waits in Atlanta on Tuesday for the winner of Argentina against Cape Verde.
World Cup · Last 16 · England & Mexico · Developing · filed 4 July 2026 · afternoon (ET) · 5 updates
England's last-16 tie against Mexico kicks off at the Estadio Azteca on Sunday at 6pm Mexico City time — 1am Monday in Britain — after reports that FIFA would move the match evaporated within a day. Around that fixed hour, England is reorganising a Monday: pubs licensed to 5am, schools split between late starts and 7am replay screenings, and a broadcaster building a no-spoiler morning for everyone who chooses sleep.
