TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Here's a look at what we are working on for tonight's broadcast of The CBS Evening News Hi everyone, Tonight, I'm reporting once again from Afghanistan. We begin with a development that would have been unthinkable not so long ago. Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of coalition troops here, says the U.S. would support negotiating with the Taliban. Petraeus told me during our sitdown interview, "I think that you have to have at least an open mind about this. Because this is historically the way counterinsurgency efforts ultimately have been concluded." Later, I ask Petraeus about President Obama's plan to begin withdrawing troops next July. It's a controversial issue -- many pundits have said the timeline could undermine the U.S. war effort. But Petraeus doesn't see it that way. He'll explain why he thinks the timeline could work to America's advantage. CBS News Correspondent Terry McCarthy continues his reporting with an elite team of bomb disposal experts. They're using cutting edge technology, including a weapon called the MICLIC to blast away roadside bombs. The team's commitment is remarkable. One member even has tattoos that feature the molecular structure of the explosives he encounters. Life in Afghanistan has always been tough, especially for girls and women. The Taliban has stepped up attacks on girls who attend school and families often sell young women into marriages they don't want. I spoke with one girl, Shamsia, who vows to keep going to school, even after having acid thrown into her face. It's a remarkable testament to their determination to improve their lives. Harry Smith is in New York with the rest of the day's news, including the massive egg recall, which has now spread to a second company in Iowa, and the announcement of new Middle East peace talks - the first face to face talks between the Israelis and Palestinians in nearly two years. See you then. Katie Here's an early look at one of the stories we are working on for Monday night's broadcast of The CBS Evening News: America is under attack... from bed bugs. Where are they, how do they spread... and why are they so hard to fight? New information Monday night only on The CBS Evening News. THIS WEEKEND ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS

HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUNDAY MORNING
CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK We hope you'll join us this Sunday Morning for all these stories and so much more: DREAM HOUSE -- What and where is your Dream House? Is it a lighthouse on the rocky coast of Maine? A silo by a trout stream in Utah, or an aerie made of steel and glass, high above the Pacific Ocean in California's Big Sur? Is it large or small, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most famous architects of all time, or built by hand? The dream houses we'll visit this Sunday Morning with Correspondent John Blackstone are as different as the dreamers themselves, but each perfect, in its own way. TAJ MAHAL -- It's often called a wonder of the world and is the signature piece of Mughal architecture. The Taj Mahal -- built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute to his wife -- took 20,000 laborers and 30 years to complete. Everything is symmetrical except for what's inside the marble dome. Shah Jahan's casket sits slightly higher than his wife's tomb. CBS News Correspondent Seth Doane reports from Agra, India. CASKET DESIGN -- What could be simpler than a casket? It's essentially a box designed to fit into a grave. But it turns out there's nothing simple about choosing -- or making -- a casket these days. CBS News Correspondent Richard Schlesinger takes us to a casket factory, where they make metal caskets which can be painted to reflect the life of the departed, whether a soldier or a race car driver. And we'll see a new generation of caskets, made of cardboard, pine, recycled paper or wicker, and designed to be biodegradable. FREDERIC FEKKAI -- When you see "A" list female celebrities gliding down the red carpet, it's a safe bet that Frederic Fekkai had his hands in their hair. Fekkai has turned a talent for hair design into a multi-million dollar empire with hundreds of celebrity clients... over his family's strenuous objections. CBS News Correspondent Tracy Smith has a stylish profile. HARMONICAS -- The harmonica is one of American music's longest running hits... from the early cowboy movies, through the birth of the blues, to those gigs with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie wonder. And yet the harmonica has always been, well, low profile. But in a reopened factory in Rockford, Illinois Brad Harrison is devoting his life to making the harmonica a major player. CBS News Correspondent Mo Rocca takes us there to find out how. SMALL WONDERS -- When it comes to dream houses, most Americans seem to agree on one thing - bigger is better. In America, the average single-family home in 2008 was more than 2,300 square feet. But in the cities of Japan, architects are proving that houses a fraction that size, don't have to skimp when it comes to stylishness. CBS News Correspondent Lucy Craft will introduce you to the wonderful world of Japanese "micro-houses" -- wacky small dwellings, where life can be a high-wire act and eccentrics can feel right at home.
