Six female candidates continue to vie for the democratic nomination for president in 2020 elections.  We take a look at the front-runners including Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris

Jada Pinkett Smith is an American actress, producer, philanthropist, singer, businesswoman and talk show host. She, along with her 18-year-old daughter Willow and mother Adrienne, take part in Red Table Talk, an intimate chat show with three generations from the same family.

Throughout the summer we've been talking about clothes and accessories that most of us have and which tend to be trotted out for every holiday.  Today the dress historian Amber Butchart examines the straw hat.

In April 2011,  Karen Edwards received a visit from a police officer telling her that her daughter, Becky, was dead.  Becky had been murdered & had been lying in a makeshift grave since 2003.  Despite the killer confessing, he couldn't be convicted at the time as the evidence was not admissible in court.  Karen had to fight to see the killer brought to justice. She has now written a book, A Killer's Confession and a Mother's Fight for the Truth.
