This Morning from CBS News, Oct. 5, 2015
Deadly flooding
The flooding hitting South Carolina has reached catastrophic levels, and it could get worse. Cars, boats and helicopters have been used to rescue hundreds of people from the raging water, but at least five have been killed. Columbia residents may not be able to drink from their taps for days, and the sun may not be ready to return just yet.
Russian airstrikes
Turkey says a Russian warplane violated its airspace, prompting it to scramble fighter jets and summon the Russian ambassador in protest. We have the latest on the situation as tensions soar in the region amid ongoing Russian airstrikes in Syria which have angered the U.S., Turkey and other coalition partners battling ISIS.
No-fly zone
Lawmakers and presidential candidates alike, including President Obama's former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, say with Russia stepping up its involvement in the war and the flow of refugees unabated, the U.S. should now implement a no-fly zone in Syria. But Mr. Obama remains unconvinced.
Hands off
Self-driving cars are already on the road for test drives -- with watchful researchers there to grab the wheel as and when needed. "60 Minutes" got a ride in Mercedes Benz's most advanced self-driving car to find out how soon the computerized vehicles will become part of everyday life, and what the obstacles are in the way.
Flashback: 1979
"Sunday Morning" has taken its viewers back to the day the award-winning show first hit the airwaves, airing the complete broadcast of the very first edition from Jan. 28, 1979, hosted by Charles Kuralt. Topics of the day included Nelson Rockefeller, Pope John Paul II, and the bald eagle.
Sepsis warning
Sepsis is the body's overwhelming and life-threatening response to an infection which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death. It can happen to anyone with any type of infection, but many Americans have never heard of it. There are more than 1 million cases each year in the U.S, and more than 258,000 prove fatal.
Claire Danes
Season five of "Homeland" is off and running, with Claire Danes playing the high-strung, bipolar Carrie Mathison. The character finds herself in a different place and mindset. The Emmy-winning actress tells "CBS This Morning" about the show's longevity, and her role in its critical success.
