Next, the first in a World Report's series "Beyond Belief: The Changing Face of Religion," examining how modern pressures are affecting people's faith. This week, we look at the Roman Catholic church, where some Catholics are demanding change, insisting the church be more in touch with the way life is lived now. Finally, World Report visits Tijuana, Mexico. There's a movement afoot to clean the city up, making it a tourist destination. However, with drug cartels running rampant, a corrupt police force and crime out of control, is there any real possibility of that happening?

After Hamas was elected to run parts of the government, the U.S. withheld millions of dollars in support, because Hamas refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist and continues supporting terrorism. Finally, we travel into space for two stories. Conspiracy theorists, who say the moon landings were faked, got a huge boost recently when NASA admitted that they have 'lost' the videotapes from the moon landing.
