Today, the big news is in the Middle East:
Today marks the 12th anniversary of the civil war in Syria, with over 230,000 people dead and over 14 million have been displaced. And the last thing they needed was an earthquake. It all started when a group of teenage boys were arrested and tortured to death in a town in southern Syria. Protests followed afterwards, and the Syrian government initiated a violent crackdown on the protesters, sparking the civil war that has devastated both sides of Syria's population.
Also, Iran has now done a thorough investigation of the mass schoolgirl poisonings that have been taking place in its schools, and they have now arrested over 110 people as suspects. There will be more details to come in the next few days.
Lastly, severe weather is still battering the northeast and California, with the slow-moving nor'easter now moving through of the New England region. Over 1,000 flights have been canceled and over 40,000 people are still out of power. In California, the latest atmospheric river storm is creating hurricane speed gusts that are even breaking the glass of some high-rises, and over 125,000 people are still out of power in the region.
