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, There was a big meeting at the White House today -?? involving the heads of 11 federal agencies - over how to handle the growing foreclosure mess. Several banks are accused of pushing through foreclosure documents without reading them properly. And the FBI is examining whether laws were broken. In the meantime, lots of homeowners are wondering if they'll lose their homes. CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker reports tonight from Los Angeles. If you think money's tight in this country, take a look at what's going on overseas. In France, riots continued today over the government's plan to cut services and raise the retirement age. In Britain, the new Conservative government today outlined the sharpest cuts in government spending since World War Two. Half a million public sector jobs will be cut. Experts say it will be very interesting to see if this austerity plan will turn around Britain's economy, or make a bad situation worse. CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips reports from London. Six months ago today, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded - triggering the worst oil spill in U.S. history. CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann, who spent months reporting on the BP disaster, returns to the Gulf today. Much of the oil is gone. Most waters have been reopened to fishing. But what are the long term effects of the crisis? Is a certain way of life gone forever? There's a new chapter in the long-running saga, Hill v. Thomas. 19 years ago, law professor Anita Hill accused then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexually harassing her. The allegations nearly cost him a seat on the high court. Thomas always denied the allegation. Fast forward to October 2010. Thomas's wife, Virginia called Hill, asking that she apologize. It's a bizarre twist in a case that's fascinated many over the years. CBS News Chief Legal correspondent Jan Crawford reports. We end with another example of the American Spirit. In this case, the problem is bullying, particularly of gay teens. The solution--a heartfelt speech by a city councilman in Texas. His simple message, It gets better, has really struck a chord, going viral on the internet. CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller has our report. See you tonight. Katie

In an Exclusive CBS News investigation, Early Show Consumer Correspondent Susan Koeppen found that school zone speeding limits were rarely observed; some cars went through at even triple the posted speed limit. In fact, this is a dangerous nationwide problem that has taken the lives of more than 100 children every year. Not only will you see some very revealing and startling video, you'll also hear from parents whose children were victims of these careless drivers. -- a report you won't want to miss. Have you been getting enough sleep lately? If you're worried that not getting your full 8 hours is affecting your health, you'll want to watch this segment. It's a myth that as we age we need less shut eye. Changes in sleep patterns may be a normal part of aging, but many underlying conditions common in older people, can contribute to sleep loss. In Thursday morning's HealthWatch CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton will tell you all the reasons why you may not be getting enough slumber. She'll also give you valuable tips and techniques to regulate your sleep cycle and get your body back on track. Some important news you can use Thursday morning! There's no good way to learn about the full scope of your husband's infidelity, but certainly Jenny Sanford learned in the worst possible way. In June of last year her husband, Governor Mark Sanford, went missing for several days; when he re-surfaced he said he was "hiking the Appalachian trail", an alibi that quickly came to mean "having an affair in Buenos Aires". Sanford gave an intimate first-hand account in her bestseller Staying True, and now eight months later an updated version will be released in paperback. In it, she recounts her divorce, how her children are learning to live in two separate households and the new relationship they have formed with their father and what she is doing to turn her own life around. Tomorrow morning, she'll tell you how her life has changed -- bittersweet as it may be -- for the better. We hope you'll join us for this first-hand account. Get ready for some G-T-L, fist pumping, and hair gel Thursday morning! The record-setting second season of MTV's Jersey Shore, shot entirely in Miami, ends tomorrow night. Join us and get a sneak peek first from Snooki, The Situation, J-Wow, and Pauly-D. Plus... they'll tell you what's in store for their third season -- where yes, they are back in Seaside Heights, NJ.
