Iranian state media say US attacks have continued during the day, with strikes on the port cities of Bushehr and Bandar Abbas. Our correspondents explain the latest. The fossilised remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex have sold for a record $50 million. We speak to people who buy and sell dinosaur fossils. And the first semi-final of the football Cup kicks off later, with the favourites France playing Spain in Dallas. We speak to fans of both teams. Presenter: James Reynolds.
