This Morning from CBS News, Sept. 18, 2015
Intervention time?
As the war in Syria continues to scatter millions of refugees into the region, and as hundreds of thousands seek safe harbor in an already-overwhelmed Europe, the crisis is mounting pressure on the U.S. and its allies to re-evaluate what has been a hands-off stance. "There's no question that you have to take a look at our policy," says CBS News senior national security analyst Juan Zarate.
Slammed doors
Every time a door opens for the thousands of migrants trying to reach safety and the possibility of a better life in Western Europe, another one seems to slam shut. Croatia seemed like the route to salvation just a day ago, but it's become another roadblock on the trail of despair.
Papal security
Pope Francis is preparing for his North American trip. The pontiff visits Cuba this weekend before arriving in the United States next week. Francis will make stops in Washington, Philadelphia and New York City. All those stops, and his penchant for mingling with crowds, make protecting the "people's pope" a huge challenge.
High School football
Millions of Americans will spend their Friday night watching high school football, but recent cases of players attacking referees -- and each other -- are throwing a shadow over a great American tradition. Some critics are asking if the game has gotten out of hand.
In-N-Out
When In-N-Out opened a new store in Oregon this month, it brought its burgers to the Pacific Northwest for the first time. Fiercely loyal fans showed up at 7 a.m. to get in line. "CBS This Morning" has a rare interview with the company's president, Lynsi Snyder, to find out the secret sauce behind In-N-Out's success.
School computers
Despite growing public support for making computer science a staple of primary school education, less than half of U.S. students use computers on a daily basis. We explore the obstacles to broadening access to computer training in America's schools.
"Scorpion"
Hit CBS drama "Scorpion" follows a team recruited by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security agent to be the last line of defense against high-tech security threats. We get an insider's look behind the scenes and find out whether any of the cast members have genius traits of their own.
