Friends and enemies

Now that the primary season is in full gear, Democratic primary voters must decide whether they're siding with Team Hillary or Team Bernie. In Thursday night's debate, the candidates tried to clarify who already belongs in their respective camps -- and who doesn't.

Campaign ad

Republican candidate Ted Cruz's campaign has pulled a 30-second TV ad after the work history of one of the actresses featured in the spot came to light. In an apparent clash with Cruz's family-oriented campaign message, Amy Lindsay has starred in movies such as "Carnal Wishes," and "Insatiable Desires."

El Papa

Pope Francis is set to begin a six-day visit to Mexico, the world's second-largest Catholic country. His plans to address one key hot-button topic are already drawing criticism from the U.S. Republican presidential front-runner, but we meet some of the people in Mexico City who can't wait to see Francis arrive.

Good enough?

One of the surf world's biggest events kicks off today, under a wave of controversy. Held only when the conditions are just right, the "Titans of Mavericks" competition in Northern California is a rare contest.
