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 from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric: Hi everyone, Until this week, few people had ever heard of Pastor Terry Jones. He runs the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, which has about 50 members. But Jones has created a firestorm of controversy with his plan to burn copies of the Quran to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks. General David Petraeus warned the act would endanger American troops. It's already sparked protests in Kabul and other cities. But Jones insists he'll still go ahead with his threat. CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella will speak with the pastor, tonight. Wildfires have destroyed dozens of homes, and forced 3,000 people to flee in Colorado. Some of the destroyed houses belonged to the firefighters who are battling the blaze. Rick Sallinger of our Denver station KCNC reports tonight from Boulder.

The blaze has already forced the evacuation of 1,000 homes, including those of firefighters who were actively fighting the blaze. At least four firefighters' homes were destroyed, according to authorities, and it is estimated that about 3,500 residents have been affected by the flames, most of which were powered by 45 mph winds Monday. We'll have a full report for you tomorrow morning. As you've probably read, with less than two months to the November mid-term elections, Republicans in Congress have shown little willingness to help President Barack Obama approve $350 billion worth of measures to boost the economy. Although Republicans typically embrace plans that promise tax breaks for businesses there is little motivation, within the party, to give the Democratic White House a win -- especially since polls show they are close to gaining enough seats in Congress to win both houses. The President is expected to announce his to stimulate the sagging economy -- including the tax breaks and new spending on transportation projects -- in a speech on Wednesday in Cleveland. David Axelrod, Senior Advisor to President Obama, will join us tomorrow morning to discuss the President's new plan -- and what he'll need to do to gain support from the GOP and improve his approval rating. A Christian minister said Tuesday that he will go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Quran this weekend to protest the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks despite a warning from the top U.S. General in Afghanistan that doing so would endanger American troops. Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center said he understands Gen. David Petraeus' concerns, but plans to go forward with the burning this Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the attacks. He left the door open to change his mind, however, saying that he is still praying about his decision. You'll hear first hand from Jones tomorrow morning about his decision and the likelihood that he will change his mind.
