White House hack
A new report says Russia was behind an apparent hack of a White House computer network last year. It exposed "sensitive" information about President Obama to hackers. Federal agencies are reportedly investigating the breach. Bill Plante looks at the damage from the sophisticated attack.
Obama on climate and health
While his administration announced efforts to highlight links between climate change and its impact on health, President Obama delved into his own family's medical history in an interview with CBS News, touching on his daughter's early struggles with asthma.
Rand Paul's opening?
Dr. Brian Strow, who served as one of Rand Paul's economic advisors during his Senate bid, says just as there was five years ago in Kentucky, there may now be an opening for a non-establishment candidate on the national stage, and "if people are tired of a dynasty, this guy is the polar opposite."
Kenya gunman's classmates
Former friends of the man identified as a leader of the massacre at a Kenyan university last week tell CBS News they knew him as a "passionate" student who seemed completely happy and well adjusted. His apparent radicalization has left many at a law school in Nairobi shocked, and scared.
Misleading commercial?
Satellite television provider DIRECTV has been urged to pull ads featuring actor Rob Lowe and his alter egos after competitor Comcast challenged claims made in the commercials. Vladimir Duthiers reports on the high-stakes battle for pay TV viewers' eyeballs and dollars.
London heist
British police are trying to track down the culprits behind an elaborate heist in a diamond-drenched London neighborhood. Thieves emptied around 300 safety deposit boxes in a seemingly-secure vault. It happened last weekend in London's most exclusive jewelry district. Charlie D'Agata reports from the scene of the crime in London's Hatton Garden.
Juvenile justice
Community Connections for Youth (CCFY) runs an urban garden in the Bronx, one of the organization's so-called diversion programs aimed at getting young people in trouble with the law out of the vicious cycle of crime and arrest by providing "productive activities." As one veteran of the system says, "probation has taken a different approach," and it's working.
Property tax
Property taxes tend to be unpopular among Americans, but residents of a handful of states have even more reason to grumble. These nine states rank highest for property tax burdens out of all 50, according to a new study from WalletHub, and many of them are in the same region.
