This Morning from CBS News, July 10, 2015
Coming down
The Confederate battle flag outside the South Carolina Statehouse is being removed 23 days after the massacre of state Sen. Clementa Pinckney and eight others inside Charleston's historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Governor Nikki Haley signed the bill ordering the removal with 13 pens. Nine went to the families of the victims. At the yesterday's ceremony, she was surrounded by Republicans, Democrats, and relatives of the church massacre victims, reports CBS News correspondent Omar Villafranca.
OPM report
There are calls this morning to fire the head of the Office of Personnel Management following a new report that revealed the recent hack of government computer systems was worse than first thought. But CBS News correspondent Major Garrett reports that, even with personal information of as many as 22 million people possibly in the hands of hackers, Director Katherine Archuleta says she will not resign.
Bickering talks
Iran has blamed bickering between the U.S. and its negotiating partners for yesterday's missed deadline at the nuclear talks in Vienna, as officials in the Austrian capital checked their optimism over hopes for a final deal. CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan reports that late last night, a senior Iranian official said the U.S. and other nations involved in the talks had changed their positions, backtracking from earlier agreements and arguing amont themselves over how and when to lift certain sanctions against Tehran.
Greek deadline
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has confounded and infuriated his nation's creditors ever since his Syriza party was swept into power last year on an anti-austerity platform. Now, with the financial crisis threatening to sink his cash-strapped country's economy, Greece's creditors say the time for talk is coming to an end.
Sanctuary cities
Congress is considering action against sanctuary cities that can serve as safe havens for immigrants. CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford reports the sanctuary policies have come under scrutiny since this month's murder of a San Francisco woman, allegedly by an undocumented immigrant -- and now, 2016 presidential candidates are chiming in.
Trump's center stage
Donald Trump has pulled off an amazing feat. During a summer that has had no shortage of news events, from major Supreme Court decisions to the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, he has managed to stay in the limelight -- and keep the issue of immigration in the headlines. He has also gotten nearly every other Republican in the 2016 GOP race to talk about his candidacy, rather than their own.
Pluto awaits
Three billion miles and nine-and-a-half years from Earth, NASA's New Horizons probe is racing toward a historic July 14 flyby of Pluto, providing the first close-up views of the most famous denizen of the Kuiper Belt, a vast hinterland where uncounted remnants of the solar system's birth orbit in frozen solitude.
"True Detective" secrets
When Andy Mackenzine walked into his audition for season 2 of "True Detective," he didn't know what to expect. "I read for a couple of roles at once. ... The process took quite some time. ... Then I got the call that I got a role," Mackenzie told CBS News. But he still wasn't sure exactly which role. Mackenzie says from the very beginning, everything about the show has been kept very much under wraps.
Ticker tape parades
New York City is sparing no expense to celebrate the U.S. women's soccer team after its crushing win over Japan in the World Cup. Preparations for the ticker tape parade, an iconic symbol of New York celebrations, have been underway at an estimated cost of $2 million. CBS News correspondent Anna Werner reports it's a well-traveled route, with world leaders, war heroes, astronauts and other sports champions having been honored there, but this celebration will still be a first.
