Texas Flouts World Court to Execute Mexican National On Death Row in Texas, José Medellín admits to the rapes and murders of two teen-age girls 15 years ago in Houston. President Bush wants Texas to postpone tonight’s scheduled execution of the admitted killer, a Mexican national who was denied his rights under an international treaty. The President says Texas should help the US keep its word and obey the World Court in the Netherlands. So far, Governor Rick Perry says, "No deal." It’s about the death penalty, illegal immigration and US credibility. Could there be blowback for American citizens overseas?

Construction continues at new Inglewood stadium The most expensive sports stadium in US history is rising from a huge hole in the ground in the South Bay city of Inglewood. In just two years Inglewood will play host to both L.A. football teams, the Rams and the Chargers, and add a million square feet of retail, office space, a hotel, parks and even a lake! As the 70,000-seat stadium site takes shape, the city around it is anticipating big changes -- some welcome and some worrisome.
