In world news-- dozens are dead and hundreds injured after a 6.9-magnitude earthquake affected regions of India, Tibet and Nepal. Reports say damage has made it almost impossible for rescue crews to reach some areas, especially in remote parts of the Himalayas.
RAKESH KUMAR, LOCAL RESIDENT: “I felt the floor move all of a sudden. I told my friend it was an earthquake. It hardly lasted more than 10 or 15 seconds. All of us ran downstairs.”
REPORTER, AL JAZEERA: “Some are too young to remember, but for others this will be a painful reminder of the devastating earthquake in Gujarat in 2001, which killed thousands of people.”
In entertainment news-- the 2011 Emmys aired Sunday night, hosted by Jane Lynch.
Fox News has a rundown of highlights.
GRETCHEN CARLSON, FOX NEWS: “It was a ‘Family’ affair at the Emmys last night. Modern Family, stealing the show, taking home 5 Emmys, including one for ‘Best Comedy.’ Also grabbing headlines? Guess who-- Charlie Sheen!”

In business news-- Netflix’s CEO says he’s sorry the company has implemented so many major changes without sufficient explanation. The company has also announced its DVD-by-mail service will now go by Qwikster-- and will also offer video games. Here’s the apology from CEO Reed Hastings.
REED HASTINGS, NETFLIX CEO: “A few months ago, when we looked forward at our business, we realized, over time, DVD and streaming were becoming more and more different and that we could do a better job for both services if we separated them. When we communicated that to our subscribers, and it involves a substantial price increase for most members, I didn’t make the communication, and we didn’t explain why we were doing it.”
Finally, in U.S. news-- a new study suggests a link between the country’s recession-- and a rise in the number of child abuse injuries.
Here’s MSNBC with more details.
ANCHOR, MSNBC: “A really disturbing new study shows as the economy began to sink, the number of abused kids hospitalized with severe brain injures, spiked.
