Venezuelans dig through the rubble with their hands as thousands are unaccounted for after twin earthquakes. The UN pauses ship escorts through the Strait of Hormuz following accusations Iran fired on a vessel. Egypt and Iran – both countries where homosexuality is illegal – face off at the World Cup in Seattle where the city is marking Pride. And a trio of Brazilian sisters ages 103, 104 and 109 could help scientists crack the secret to a long life. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast here.
