PROBLEM: The White House says President Obama will offer congratulations to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following his come-from-behind election victory, but not until after a coalition government is formed 'days' from now. The U-turn comes hours after Obama political strategy director David Simas added fuel to U.S.-Israeli tensions by stopping short of congratulating Netanyahu – and instead only patting Israelis on the back for voting. 'We want to congratulate the Israeli people for the democratic process – for the election that they just engaged in, with all the parties that engaged in that election,' Simas had said.

PROBLEM: Scott Peterson horrified the nation when he was convicted 10 years ago for murdering his 8-months-pregnant wife Laci and their unborn son Conner. While he was sentenced to death for the crime, the likelihood that the 42-year-old will actually be executed is unlikely in California where the last death row inmate was killed in 2006. Perhaps most shocking though is the fact that Peterson lives a relatively 'cushy' life at the Bay Area's 163-year-old San Quentin prison - which houses the largest death row population in the nation.

PROBLEM: Ansbach, Germany (CNN) The Syrian suicide bomber who injured 15 people in a Sunday night attack on a music festival in Ansbach, Germany, left behind a video pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said Monday. The ISIS-affiliated media group Amaq claimed the attacker was an ISIS "soldier" in a statement the group's supporters posted online Monday, but there is no evidence he was in contact with ISIS or directed to carry out an attack. ISIS goes global: 143 attacks, 29 countries, 2,043 deaths In the video left on a mobile phone, the 27-year-old Syrian announced his threat to carry out an attack "as an act of revenge against Germans, because they obstruct Islam," Herrmann told a press conference.
