Nepal Quake
The death toll in Nepal has surpassed 7,200, with more than 14,000 suffering injuries. What problems are aid workers finding and what’s the latest on prospects for survivors are discussed.
Mass grave found in Thailand
Thailand officials uncovered a grisly scene over the weekend — a mass grave believed to be the remains of migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh. Thirty-two graves were found in all with the cause of death yet to be identified.
US tells China No
Hot on the heels of international condemnation for its actions in the South China Sea, China fired back at its critics, telling them to mind their own business. China also offered up use of its reclaimed land bases to the US and others when the conditions were “right.” Something the US promptly rejected.
