No place in America is recession proof, but some places are being hit much harder than others. Today we find out where it's worst and why, and ask what communities will need most to help them to bounce back. Also, new details on the Obama Administration's foreclosure prevention program, and Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has been indicted by the International Criminal Court.
