Numbers game

After the first four voting contests of 2016, a clear trend is emerging; compared to 2008, Democratic turnout is down, but Republicans are heading to the polls in record numbers. So who is it helping, who is it hurting, and what could it mean for November?

Fragile truce

Amid urgent calls for international discussions over alleged violations of the Syria truce Monday morning, the temporary cease-fire appeared still to be largely intact more than two days after it went into effect. The rare calm in some areas is giving Syrian's reason to hope.

Undocumented owners

One in three of the country's undocumented families own a home, and collectively they contribute billions of dollars every year in state and federal taxes. Does it offset the government benefits and services unlawful immigrants receive? A new report from a non-partisan tax institute breaks down the economics.

Data breach

A massive data breach at the IRS was even bigger than first realized. The agency now says more than 700,000 social security numbers and other sensitive information may have been stolen. We meet one of the people who says hackers hijacked his identity, and tell you how it happened.

"Fight club"

California officials are investigating an alleged "fight club" on the campus of a high school. Several videos surfaced last week, prompting complaints from parents. The district superintendent says she only learned about the fights recently, but acknowledges it may have been going on for years.

Leap year

Every four years, we have to squeeze an extra leap day into February. But we don't add an extra day every if the year is evenly divisible by 100 -- unless it is also evenly divisible by 400. Confused? We dig into what leap years are all about, with the help of one special leap day birthday girl.
