“Strong Quake Hits Near Iran-Iraq Border”

More than 300 people have died and at least 3,800 people have been injured after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck the border region between Iran and Iraq late Sunday. Iran's seismological center says it has recorded about 118 aftershocks as well. "Buildings were shaking here. A lot of people rushed out of their houses into the street.” This quake was felt as far away as Turkey and Pakistan. Iran sits on a major fault line between the Arabian and Eurasian plates. Most of the deaths reported have been in the remote mountain regions of Iran where rescuers were not able to get to them in time. Authorities in Iran and Iraq have initiated rescue operations; Iran's Revolutionary Guard were reportedly traveling to the affected areas to help with efforts. Iran has declared three days of mourning. Iran has experienced a number of earthquakes in the past, the most deadly earthquake of the century in Iran occurred in 2003 when a magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck the city of Bam, killing some 26,000 people.

In Other News YouTube is trying to clean up its kids' app. Recent reports have called attention to troves of videos with profanity and violent themes on YouTube Kids, the video-sharing site's kid-friendly platform. Content for YouTube Kids is pulled from the main YouTube platform using machine learning and algorithms. But some videos, such as cartoons disguised as age appropriate, slip through the cracks. Videos flagged as inappropriate for kids will be slapped with an age-restriction warning on its main YouTube app. This will prevent them from being pulled onto the Kids app. Happy Taylor Swift Day! The singer's long-awaited sixth album arrived just before midnight Thursday and naturally it's been all the buzz. Even Swift herself seemed excited. "#reputation is out," she wrote under a photo of herself colorfully dressed posted to Instagram. "Let the games begin. "Taylor Swift's talent remains intact on 'Reputation,' her most focused, most cohesive album yet," she quotes Randy Lewis of the Los Angeles Times saying.
