WHITFIELD: That was a story we are watching today. U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton is in Turkey discussing the deadly violence in Syria. She is meeting with Turkish leaders and Syrian opposition activists.</s>HILLARY CLINTON, SECRETARY OF STATE: We look for ways to support those on the ground without making the suffering worse. There's a very clear understanding about the need to end this conflict quickly, but not doing it in a way that produces even more deaths, injuries and destruction.</s>WHITFIELD: So far today, at least 51 people have been killed around the country of Syria. In Iran, two strong earthquakes jolted the northwestern part of the country and at least 87 people have been killed and 600 injured. The quakes measured 6.4 and 6.3. Rescue teams have been sent to affected areas. Some buildings have been damaged and power and telephone lines are also down. All right closer to home, a new report blames drivers for a deadly multi-car crash on Florida's interstate 75 back in January, if you recall. Eleven people died and 46 others were injured after heavy fog and smoke played a pretty good role in that collision. In the report the Florida highway patrol said, quote, "despite the presence of fog/smoke warning signs, some drivers did not take proper precautions and slow their speeds to prepare for reduced visibility," end quote. Police have since recommended changes that approve training and better communication with the national weather service. All right, back to the race for presidency, Mitt Romney makes his choice for vice president. How did he come to this decision? We'll hear from the woman in charge of Romney's VP selection committee.
