This Morning from CBS News, June 17, 2015
Texas flooding
Tropical storm Bill arrived in Texas with 60 mph wind gusts, reports CBS News correspondent Omar Villafranca. Although the storm has slowed down, it doesn't look that way. The streets of Sealy are submerged and the dangerous waters have already prompted multiple rescues. Waters lashed the shoreline of Galveston and submerged cars inland.
Manhunt expanding
Police in far upstate New York are expanding their search beyond what was a 16-mile perimeter for two killers who've been on the run for 12 days. A law enforcement source tells CBS News wanted posters of David Sweat and Richard Matt will be distributed at border crossings into Canada and in Mexico. CBS News correspondent Anna Werner reports officials now believe multiple people were involved with helping the men escape.
Clinton proposal
During a visit to South Carolina today, Hillary Clinton will introduce a plan to reduce youth unemployment. The Democratic front-runner is encouraging businesses to hire apprentices by offering the companies a tax credit of $1,500 per apprentice hired, according to a Clinton campaign aide. Clinton will talk about her proposal at a forum at Trident Technical College in North Charleston.
Family joins ISIS?
British police were no closer today to finding out what exactly has become of three sisters and their children, all of whom are believed to have set off on a journey to join their brother in territory held by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). A lawyer for the three women's husbands says there was no evidence of extremism, but CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata says their brother is thought to be fighting with the extremists in Syria, and the men fear their 12 family members have gone to join him.
Blow to al Qaeda
The U.S. dealt a blow to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula this week by killing its leader, Nasir al-Wuhayshi, in a drone strike. But the strike won't reduce the threat from the group as much as it might have had it taken place earlier, says CBS News senior national security analyst Juan Zarate.
Social Security basics
Polls consistently show that Social Security is among the country's most popular federal programs. But that doesn't mean most Americans actually understand how it works. Most people who answered basic questions about Social Security received a failing grade. Given that Social Security handles retirement benefits for 56 million Americans -- with most seniors dependent on the program for the bulk of their income -- it behooves consumers to at least grasp the basics. Here are five of the most common misunderstandings about Social Security.
Brightest galaxy
Astronomers have found the brightest galaxy in the early universe and signs of the first generations of stars lurking within it. The galaxy named CR7 is three times brighter than the most luminous distant galaxy known until now, called Himiko. The newfound galaxy was named for the Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, who is known as CR7 after his initials and jersey number.
Nashville Cats
In 1966, folk singer Bob Dylan did something extraordinary when he went to Nashville to record an album. He left his band behind, in order to record with session players known as the Nashville Cats. CBS News correspondent Anthony Mason spoke with three of the Cats, now in their 70s, and they reflected on their exciting careers.
