New explosions and Russian missile strikes on Ukraine. Fallout in Los Angeles government, from racist remarks caught on tape. Colonoscopies -- under the microscope in a new study. Correspondent Deborah Rodriguez has the CBS World News Roundup for Tuesday, October 11, 2022:
Our correspondent meets with Peter Obi, who has a handsome poll lead and an appeal that spans the country’s religions and ethnicities. But his presidential bid still faces obstacles. Myanmar’s ruling junta is doing more than suppressing the country’s people: it is battering the economy equally efficiently. And remembering Brother Andrew, who made daring deliveries behind the Iron Curtain.
As they visit the site of an ELF arson twenty-five years ago, Leah and Georgia meet inhabitants of a town that two years ago was lost to forest fire.
The Earth Liberation Front had a clear line they wouldn’t cross: they would never cause any physical harm. And they never did.
As climate change bears down they ask - where is the line now? A time when the stakes have gotten higher, the consequences sharper.
Leah and Georgia hear from those who spent years behind bars as a result of their actions in the name of the ELF, and environmental activists today - including the founders of mass civil disobedience movement Extinction Rebellion.

All around you, right this second, you are surrounded by electromagnetic radiation.
You might better know this by names such as light, radio waves, microwaves, x-rays, or ultraviolet rays.
Fundamentally, they are all variations of the same phenomenon and are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

American corporations are increasingly taking sides on political issues—and it seems they’re often embracing socialist ideas rather than the free market.
That’s led former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and others to create the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce. The group launched earlier this year to put the focus back on pro-business policies and limited government—rather than woke ideas pushed by activists on the left.
Gentry Collins, CEO of the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, comes to the job after serving as the national political director at both the Republican Governors Association and the Republican National Committee. He spoke to "The Daily Signal Podcast" about the organization. A lightly edited transcript is below.
The Republican closing argument is as Trumpy and racist as ever. Joe Biden takes a big step towards decriminalizing marijuana. And Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock stops by to talk about his very close race against Herschel Walker.

This episode is about Kanye’s continued right turn/presidential ambitions, but we get to everything from American food culture to failed conservative banking schemes to Gambo to dybbuks. “Freewheeling” as they might say.

The California condor used to soar across the western skies of North America, but by the 1980s, the bird was on the edge of extinction — just 22 remained. Thanks to decades of conservation work, the California condor population has rebounded to a couple hundred birds in Central California and Arizona.
This past May, a large partnership led by the Yurok Tribe re-introduced the birds to Northern California. Today, host Aaron Scott talks to Yurok biologist Tiana Williams-Claussen about the years-long quest to return the birds to their ancestral skies, and the importance of condor — who the Yurok call Prey-go-neesh — to the Yurok people and the natural world.
