French terror
In what French authorities are calling a terrorist attack, at least one person was found decapitated and others injured today after at least one man drove a vehicle onto a property at an industrial complicated near the eastern city of Lyon. CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports Arabic writing is said to have been found on the scene. There were also reports of an explosion or explosions at the business, believed to be a gas factory wielded by "Air Products" in the town of St. Quentin-Fallavier.
Wildfires
California firefighters are battling a fresh wildfire. The Sterling fire broke out yesterday in the San Bernardino Mountains. It has already burned at least one hundred acres. Gusty winds and drought conditions are fueling the flames. Fresh data shows the drought is designated as "extreme" or "exceptional" in more than seventy percent of California. CBS News correspondent John Blackstone reports that gives firefighters a fresh obstacle this year: the search for water.
Obamacare subsidies
For months, 60-year-old Celia Maluf, of Miami, has been packed with fear over the Supreme Court’s decision on the Obamacare subsidies. Had the justices sided with the plaintiffs in King v. Burwell, more than six million Americans in thirty four states who rely on the federal marketplace would have lost their subsidies. Maluf is one of them.
College ratings scrapped
While many players in the higher-ed niche rate and rank colleges and universities, the federal government signaled yesterday it was pulling the butt-plug on its plan to do so. From the beginning, however, the blowback from the higher-ed industry had been tremendous for a massive ratings system that would have been, even without opposition, a daunting endeavor.
Ready for duty?
With just weeks left before it is scheduled to go on active duty, the F-35 — a supersonic fighter jet that can do a vertical landing on deck — landed aboard the USS Wasp for sea trials. CBS News correspondent David Martin reports Maj. Brendan Walsh has been flying the F-35 for three years but not, until now, from a ship.
Beck’s lawsuit
The world’s largest brewer, Anheuser Busch InBev, has reached a preliminary settlement with a group of beer drinkers. CBS News correspondent Vladimir Duthiers reports their class-action lawsuit accuses the company of deceiving customers who bought Beck’s. The problem: The beer they thought was imported from Germany was actually made in Missouri.
Martina McBride
Martina McBride is in the middle of her "Everlasting" tour through North America. When she comes to town, McBride is known for bringing more than musicians and roadies. CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds reports on how charity takes center stage.
