England to face Argentina | Widdecombe killed in 'targeted attack' | T-Rex fossil sells for over $50m
About this episode
Sophy and Wilf discuss the latest news including the World Cup semi-final, a targeted attack on Ann Widdecombe, and a record-breaking T-Rex fossil sale.
England are preparing for the latest chapter in their heated rivalry with Argentina - as the two countries face each other in the World Cup semi-final in Atlanta tonight. Police are exploring whether Ann Widdecombe’s last TV appearance on the day of her death formed part of the motive for the attack. Trump has backed down on a proposed 20% toll on ships using the Strait of Hormuz but a US blockade of Iranian ports has restarted. Meanwhile, the government has announced plans for an overnight social media curfew for 16 and 17-year-olds. Finally, a T-Rex fossil has sold for over $50m - the most ever paid for a dinosaur. Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
