Eye Opener: Tornadoes tear through the South

"Confuse them"

Donald Trump has demonstrated a habit of not only contradicting himself, but of delivering totally different statements within seconds or minutes of each other. Could the GOP front-runner's habitual vagueness be a deliberate strategy, and if so, can it be an effective one?

Women problem?

Donald Trump has said on the campaign trail that he is "phenomenal" on issues important to women. But his latest remarks -- most notably a call for a ban on abortion -- have drawn angry protests, and history shows he may struggle to convince women he's an ally.

Hope for history

Over more than five years Syria's civil war has left in excess of 250,000 people dead, 11 million homeless, and priceless human heritage destroyed. The greatest cultural losses came as ISIS ravaged the ancient city of Palmyra. With the militants ousted, we get a rare first look at what's left.

Deadly storms

Severe weather continues to batter the South. At least four tornadoes were reported in three states as heavy rain triggered flood warnings from Louisiana to Michigan. Now the wet, dangerous weather is bearing down on the East Coast.

Women's soccer

The U.S. Soccer Federation is defending itself against a wage discrimination complaint. Some of the biggest names in Women's Soccer say they earn four times less than their male counterparts, and they're demanding equal treatment and pay.

Major milestone

Apple turns 40 years old today -- a rare milestone in a technology world littered with the remains of one-time hotshots. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded the computer startup in 1976 and released the hand-made Apple I. Four decades later, the tech pioneer is the biggest company in the world. What's powered the ascent?
