Drought to floods

Parts of California are getting more rain in one day than they got during the entire month of December last year. Mandatory evacuations in Camarillo Springs northwest of Los Angeles were lifted, but CBS News Correspondent Ben Tracy reports, with more rain in the forecast, mudslides will continue to threaten homes for days.

Pregnancy rights

Women's rights advocates and anti-abortion groups are finding unusual common groups in a Supreme Court case involving a pregnancy discrimination charge. CBS News Correspondent Jan Crawford reports, today the high court hears arguments in a case in which former UPS worker argues the company violated the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 by refusing to make accommodations for her while she was pregnant.

No recall

After a decade trying to solve a deadly defect, airbag manufacturer Takata says a review panel will investigate. But, as CBS News Correspondent Jeff Glor reports, Takata is not complying with calls to expand the recall saying, before last night's midnight deadline, that it was up to the automakers. Takata representatives will be testifying before congress today.

Inside Saudi Arabia

Ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where women are banned from driving. The Islamic nation's rulers refuse to issue them drivers licenses. CBS News correspondent Holly Williams was granted rare access during two weeks in the kingdom, but she had to leave her hotel in the middle of the night to meet the women behind a highly symbolic campaign to put women behind the wheel.

Rain check

Major league sports face new pressure from Congress to clamp down on domestic violence.

CBS News Correspondent Nancy Cordes reports, the committee's ranking Republican member was critical of all four leagues for not sending their commissioners to this hearing.

Body cameras

President Obama wants more police officers to wear body cameras to record events like the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. CBS News Correspondent Jim Axelrod reports, this week, the New York City Police Department is beginning a pilot program where 60 officers will wear cameras.

Asteroid rendezvous

An H-2A rocket blasted off from Japan's picturesque Tanegashima Space Center late yesterday, boosting an innovative science probe into space for a six-year mission to rendezvous with an asteroid, drop a quartet of small landers to its surface and collect soil samples before returning to Earth in 2020.
