Government shutdown temporarily avoided

President Biden signed legislation to temporarily avoid a government shutdown. The U.S. government is now funded through December 3. This comes as the Democrats remain divided over the $1 trillion infrastructure bill. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom implemented a first-of-its-kind vaccine mandate for students. CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent and moderator of "Face the Nation" Margaret Brennan joined CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss this week's episode.

"Diana": Three acts in the life of a musical

In 2016 composer David Bryan and script writer Joe De Pietro began writing a new musical based on the life of Princess Diana.

Finally, "Diana: The Musical" will open on Broadway this fall, but with a twist: it will make its debut not on the Great White Way, but on Netflix. Correspondent David Pogue looks at the history of the show that rewrote the rules during a pandemic.
