This Morning from CBS News: Sept. 23, 2014

Bombing Syria

The U.S. military has begun airstrikes against ISIS in Syria for the first time. CBS News Pentagon correspondent David Martin reports about 20 targets were hit by a mix of fighters, bombers and Tomahawk cruise missiles. Martin says Arab nations participated in the attack.

Jordan's king

King Abdullah II told CBS News anchor Scott Pelley, reporting for "60 Minutes," that the battle against ISIS "is truly a global fight against terror."

Refugees from ISIS

Along the Syrian border with Turkey, more than 100,000 Syrians have fled into the safety of Turkey. At the same time, CBS News correspondent Holly Williams reports, Turkish riot police fired tear gas to push back Turkish men who wanted to cross the border into Syria and fight against ISIS militants. Refugees say, "We just wish Obama had started the airstrikes even earlier, maybe then we wouldn't be here." Like the refugees, the relationship with Turkey's government of members of the Kurdish ethnic minority is tense.

UN climate

When President Obama addresses the United Nations climate summit today, he'll call on world leaders to follow his lead and develop plans to cut carbon pollution. In his six years in office, Mr. Obama has taken a number of significant steps to reduce carbon emissions.

Climate poll

Most Americans say global warming is having a serious impact now or will in the future, and 54 percent think it is mostly caused by human activity -- the highest percentage so far in CBS News/New York Times polls.

California burning

An army of firefighters is making some progress in battling a huge wildfire in Northern California. CBS News correspondent Carter Evans reports the King Fire has burned 136 square miles, and nearly 3,000 people remain on evacuation orders.

Ravens offense

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti denied an ESPN report that alleged he had pushed the NFL to lighten Ray Rice's indefinite suspension. Bisciotti claimed it was a ploy to shift blame onto the team. But, CBS News correspondent Chip Reid reports, he did admit that the Ravens did not do enough to investigate the incident.

Gender media

In a first of its kind, the Geena Davis Institute on Gender and Media released a study on how women across the world are portrayed in film. The Oscar winning actress tells "CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O'Donnell the findings suggest that what we see on screen bears little resemblance to real life.

Bad neighbor

Some living in a trendy section of San Francisco are complaining about their new neighbor, Mark Zuckerberg. His $10 million "fixer upper" home is finding a less than social welcome. The neighborhood, Dolores Heights, was once working class area, but it is now nicknamed "Facebook Hill."
