Eye Opener: Deadly flooding swamps Texas

Ousting ISIS

Another 200 U.S. troops will soon join the American contingent helping Iraqi forces "tighten the noose" on ISIS in Iraq. That, President Obama tells CBS News, will help secure a major victory against the terrorist group and push them out of one of their most valuable strongholds -- hopefully by the end of this year.

Suing Saudi

In his interview with Charlie Rose, President Obama also weighed in on the push for 28 still-classified pages of an official report on the Sept. 11 terror attacks to be made public -- and victims' families' push for the right to sue Saudi Arabia over what they believe was that government's role in protecting the attackers. Mr. Obama explained why he believes it would be a risky precedent to set.

Fraying rapidly

President Obama tells CBS News that both he and Russian President Vladimir Putin remain committed to the Syrian peace effort, but he admits things aren't going well. The president's interview with Charlie Rose came hours after the U.S.-backed Syrian opposition decided to halt participation in the peace talks, and Mr. Obama says the same hurdle has been blocking the effort for six years.

Great expectations

Democrats and Republicans will cast their presidential primary ballots today in New York. Expectations are high for front-runners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and after a series of loses elsewhere, both sorely need another big victory under their belts. Here's what to watch for out of New York.

Skimmer scammers

Your bank account could be at risk of a scam that is growing in popularity -- ATM skimming. Your bank card can be duplicated and then used for purchases without your knowledge. "CBS This Morning" takes a look at how you can spot the fraud and avoid the headache.

Auto bubble?

With U.S. auto sales barreling along at or near record levels just about every month lately, what could go wrong? Well, people could stop buying new vehicles. Or to some observers something even more worrying could happen; they could stop paying back their auto loans.

"Bad Boys"

California's Lunada Bay is known for breathtaking views and, now, for an infamous group of locals who fiercely patrol their precious surf turf. A new lawsuit claims they're harassing outsiders who try to ride the waves in an area that's officially open to the public. We look at secretly-recorded video fueling the outrage.
