Electable progressive?

Just six days ahead of the Granite State's first-in-the-nation primary, the two remaining Democratic candidates addressed a town hall audience in Derry, New Hampshire about some of the looming concerns voters have about their respective candidacies.

Finger pointing

Donald Trump, in a tit-for-tat with his chief rival coming out of Iowa, accused Texas Sen. Ted Cruz of bearing direct responsibility for the Affordable Care Act. "Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare," Trump said at a rally in Little Rock, Arkansas. Cruz, however, has suggested Trump backed the same law.

Zika precautions

Amid mounting concerns over the rapid spread of the Zika virus, some major airlines are putting new measures in place to help their staff and clients feel safer. So far, the changes include more flexibility for both flight crews and passengers where travel to Latin America is involved.

Weary welcome

War and poverty in Syria have led to the largest refugee crisis since World War II. More than a million were welcomed by Germany, but the welcome is wearing thin. We meet one mayor who warns the "numbers have to decline or else there will be breakdowns in German cities and communities."

California lottery

Today will either be one of the best days of someone's life, or the one they regret for a very long time. Whoever bought the lucky ticket for the $63 million jackpot in California must come to a lottery office by the end of the day -- or that $63 million piece of paper will become trash.

Denver vs. Charlotte

While sports reporters were busy handicapping Sunday's big game between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers, two CBS News correspondents were dispatched to each team's hometown with the mission to find out whether Denver or Charlotte is the real "super city."

Safe drug?

More than 13 million prescriptions have been written for the blood-thinning medication rivaroxaban (Xarelto) since it was FDA approved in 2011. A clinical trial showed it had a lower risk of some serious complications compared to an older drug. But now a medical journal investigation is raising questions.
