Deaths from the Feb. 6 earthquakes in Turkey have climbed to more than 35,000. The country’s vice president said on Sunday that arrest warrants have been issued for over 100 people said to be involved in the construction of buildings that collapsed across the region. And, the epicenter of the earthquakes was 25 miles from Syria's western border, leaving a wake of destruction. Most of the damage happened in the northwest, where rebel-held areas have received little assistance. Also, immigration authorities in Argentina are investigating the large number of pregnant Russian women who have recently entered the country to give birth, as a way to obtain citizenship. Plus, "Teraki," an Ethiopian app, seeks to grow podcasts and audiobooks.
