A new update on the Turkey-Syria earthquake: Over 44,000 people have been killed in the massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake, but survivors are still being found. After 248 hours trapped in the rubble, multiple people were rescued in Turkey, including two teenagers and a 30-year-old man. On another note, the Russo-Ukrainian War is still escalating, with Ukraine burning through ammunition extremely fast. NATO cannot make enough weapons to stop Russia, and Vladimir Putin recently announced that he will definitely not concede any land to Ukraine for a peace treaty. Lastly, Tesla is doing a HUGE recall. Over 350,000 vehicles are included in the recall, because of Tesla's faulty self-driving program. The program has caused multiple accidents because it makes some mistakes that require immediate driver control. If you have a Tesla, you may want to see if this new recall applies to you.

There was another shooting in El Paso, Texas, last night, where two suspected gunmen opened fire in a mall, killing 1 and injuring 3 others. This happened right next to a Walmart where an earlier shooting in 2019 killed 23 and injured over 25 others, just four years later. There have now been over 72 mass shootings this year, which is still greater than the number of days! No wonder Americans don't like being in a big public space anymore... On another note, the Treasury Department is in trouble. They are trying their hardest to stop the US from not being able to pay their bills, but if Congress doesn't address the issue soon, the US won't be able to pay their bills from July to September! They need to find a way to fix the issue, ASAP, or the Treasury will be in even bigger distress. Lastly, residents of East Palestine, Ohio, are also in some big trouble. About two weeks ago, a freight train carrying vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate, and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (which are all industrial chemicals and possible carcinogens) derailed, sparking a massive poisonous blaze that is still burning. They evacuated the town, but those orders have now been lifted. Unfortunately, many residents have not returned, due to the environmental crisis. If one area is affected, the whole ecosystem is as well, and this a huge problem for the area. Thousands of poisoned fish have been found dead in surrounding rivers and lakes, and residents are scared that the water, air, or soil may be tainted with these hazardous chemicals.

There isn't much news today, so let's dive in. Nikki Haley has announced that she will be running for president in 2024, but she has some stiff competition. She has to face off against former president Donald Trump, former vice president Mike Pence, and Florida governor Ron DeSantis to run as the Republican representative. Also, there have been some big show/movie announcements lately! A new teaser has been dropped for the popular show, Ted Lasso, with them announcing the return of the show with a Season 3 release in March. Ant-Man is coming back! Marvel Studios' Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania comes out on Friday in theaters! It is sure to be a game-changer for the Marvel series, with the mysterious Kang returning after his appearance in the TV show, Loki.

Happy Valentine's Day! There's a lot of news today, so let's get to it. First of all, there was another mass shooting last night at Michigan State University, killing three and injuring five others. The 43-year-old suspect has now died due to a self-inflicted gunshot, and had no relation to the school. Over 19,000 scared students were forced to hide in their dorms and take shelter during the campus sweep, as hundreds of armed policemen searched the grounds for the attacker. On another note, Cyclone Gabrielle struck New Zealand hard today, killing three people and destroying homes, schools, and businesses. In fact, they even declared a state of emergency, which has only happened two other times in its history. Over 225,000 people are still without power, and New Zealand is now starting their recovery from this massive storm. Lastly, if you see flowers or trees blooming early, especially on the East Coast, make sure to appreciate this early spring! Temperatures in the east have been much warmer than normal lately, sparking early blossoms from various plants. Just know that this early bloom is likely to continue and expand over the next month.

Let's get to the news that everyone's been talking about: The Super Bowl! Last night, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35. It was a tense game, but the Chiefs ended up winning by a field goal in the last eight seconds after the Eagles evened out the score late into the fourth quarter. Just imagine Donna Kelce: Cheering for Travis and comforting Jason. On another note, the death toll for the Turkey-Syria earthquake is still rising, and it has reached about 33,000 people now. However, nations like the US and India are still rushing to help, but the UN expects the death toll to top out at a grim milestone: about 50,000. Lastly, the US shot down yet another unidentified object over Lake Huron, which was reportedly the same object that they spotted over Montana. This is the fourth unidentified object to have been shot down so far, and they are all believed to be Chinese 'spy balloons.'

US jets have shot down another two 'unidentified objects' over Alaska and northern Canada, with many suspicions that it could be another 'spy balloon' from China. The first was reported over Montana a week ago, and it has launched into a full-blown accusation of China spying on other countries using fake weather balloons that are actually balloons that spy on other countries. Of course, China denies the whole thing. Also, the death toll for the Turkey-Syria earthquake has passed 25,000 people, but the US, India, the UK, and other European countries are helping out as much as possible.

The Turkey-Syria earthquake has now been inducted into the ironically-named, infamous "Earthquake Hall of Fame," as the death toll has now reached over 23,000 people. That puts it on the list for the top ten most deadly quakes in the last 20 years, Freezing temperatures have not been helping, and over 78,000 others are injured across the two nations. Now, we have some big news for fast food lovers: Chick-Fil-A is releasing a new sandwich! However, it's not what you're expecting. The sandwich has absolutely NO chicken, since it is a unique cauliflower sandwich. The sandwich debuts next week, so you're sure to see some lines that are longer than the normal ones (which are already very long) at Chick-Fil-A!

Our coverage on the 7.8 magnitude Turkey/Syria earthquake is continuing, and the death toll just seems to be exponentially rising each day. The death toll has now reached 20,000, and many grieving families are starting to get angry with the slow-moving rescue. Rescue crews are working as fast as they can, but it might not be enough to save the hundreds, maybe even thousands of people still trapped under the rubble. On a better note, we have a big update on Damar Hamlin! The Buffalo Bills safety's doctors have announced that his chances of playing football again are very optimistic, after his mid-game cardiac arrest last month. So if you like Damar Hamlin, that's good news for you!

Many people are still trapped under the rubble in Turkey and Syria, after a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the area due to the shifting of tectonic plates (Eurasian Plate, African Plate, Arabian Plate). More than 100 aftershocks have struck afterwards as well, and the subzero freezing temperatures lately have not been helping. The death toll has now risen to over 11,000 people, and hundreds, maybe even thousands more are still stuck. And now, since snow and low temps seem to be entering the area, survival chances are grim for the trapped people, who have gone days without food or water, and are now at risk of hypothermia. Now, on a happier note, NBA star LeBron James has made history! In the third quarter of the Lakers game last night, LeBron scored his 38,388th point in his career, breaking the record set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 39 years ago. This accomplishment has also come along with four league MVP awards and four NBA championships. Congratulations to LeBron James!

Cleanup and rescue crews continue to help the slow recovery from the massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake that recently hit Turkey and Syria, and the death toll has now risen to over 7,700 people. Rescuers are racing to clear the rubble and find any remaining survivors, before the death toll rises any more. The main worry of the crews is in northwestern Syria, where over 4 million people were already needing humanitarian aid. Luckily, other countries in the area are rushing in to help, with a package carrying medicine, blankets, food, and other aid arriving today from Iraq and Iran. The US, Japan, Pakistan, India, and other big countries are also helping out, and over 300 Russian soldiers are helping to clear the rubble and search for survivors. Also, Google has announced a competitor-in-the-making for ChatGPT. ChatGPT is an AI chatbot launched by OpenAI. It is self-learning, so it learns from every entry asked, and can write a whole essay on topics from politics to culture to history. So, Google has announced a competitor to this service, supposedly named 'Bard'. They plan to start its testing this week and launch it in the next few weeks to the public.
