This Morning from CBS News, Oct. 19, 2015
Holy Land
John Kerry will meet Israeli and Palestinian leaders this week as a month-long wave of violence in the Holy Land continues unabated, in spite of bolstered Israeli security measures. Some fear those measures could make matters worse, but Kerry says what's really needed is simply "clarity" from Israel that nothing is changing at a site revered by both Muslims and Jews.
Debt showdown
House leader or no house leader, the looming deadlines facing Congress aren't budging. Among them is a kind of debt doomsday, projected to take place on Nov. 3, when the nation's borrowing authority runs out. With the speaker's race in chaos, current leader Rep. John Boehner may be the best person to get the limit raised.
No bullying
A close confidant and longtime adviser of Joe Biden's who spoke to him recently says Biden, as vice president, feels he has earned the right to make a decision about his political future on his own timetable and nobody, including Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, is going to force his hand early.
Will Ryan run?
After weeks of insisting he would not run for Speaker of the House, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan is now open to leading the fractured Republican conference, according to those close to him, and is seriously considering launching a bid. But there's a caveat, and it's a big one.
Trump's record
The Republican presidential candidate stakes his claim to the nation's top job on his record as a businessman, but his company's struggles in Atlantic City raise serious questions. Some local business owners and other residents tell CBS News the real estate mogul did their community more harm than good.
Baltimore
Toya Graham physically pulling her son off the streets became one of the most iconic images of the Baltimore riots. Six months after Freddie Gray died at and the violence erupted we catch up with Graham, who says the cameras left, but violence still plagues her city and the fears she has for her children aren't about to ease.
"Suffragette"
Oscar-nominee Carey Mulligan stars in the new movie, "Suffragette," which opens this week. She tells "CBS This Morning" about the story which explores the early 20th century battle by women of all classes in Britain for the right to vote. While shedding light on a gritty and little-known part of history, the movie also makes some history of its own.
