OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS-INVESTIGATION - The fallout from a massive leak of records on offshore accounts drags a growing number of leaders and celebrities into the spotlight, including a Bollywood actor, a race car driver and Ukraine's president. 

TAX HAVEN USA - The United States is emerging as a top tax haven alongside Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg.

PRESIDENTIAL RACE — Bernie Sanders questioned whether Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is "qualified" to be president after she spent much of the day criticizing his record and his preparedness for the job. 

JORDAN-SYRIAN REFUGEES - The first Syrian family to be resettled in the U.S. under a speeded-up "surge operation" for refugees leaves Jordan for Kansas City, Missouri, to start a new life. 

EGYPT-TORTURE - For more than 20 years, a team of psychiatrists have been providing a unique service in Egypt: Therapy for victims of torture. Now authorities are trying to shut down the Nadeem Center, part of what its founders and other activists say is part of a wider crackdown to silence voices of dissent at a time when reports of police abuses and torture are growing.
