[0:00] Tonight,

[0:02] the United Nations rejects Iraq's

[0:04] response to the [music] latest warning

[0:06] on compliance with the ceasefire.

[0:08] President Bush says he is [music]

[0:10] consulting with the allies before taking

[0:12] action against Iraq. And a dramatic

[0:15] rescue and flood ravage southern

[0:17] California.

[0:20] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:25] [music]

[0:27] and this is Bob Schaefer reporting. Good

[0:29] evening. The new standoff with Iraq took

[0:31] another turn today. The Iraqi government

[0:33] said it would allow some United Nations

[0:36] planes to fly into Baghdad after all, as

[0:38] the United States and its allies had

[1:04] west, from Jordan. Until now, the planes

[1:07] have been coming in from Bahrain over

[1:08] the no-fly zone. The Iraqis say that's

[1:11] not possible now because the allies have

[1:13] turned that into a war zone.

[1:16] At a news conference this evening,

[1:18] Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz said

[1:20] that from every sensible point of view,

[1:22] the offer should solve the problem. We

[1:25] are making it very easy for them to

[1:28] carry out their job in a safe and secure

[1:33] circumstances.

[1:35] >> Aziz said Iraq's argument is not with

[1:37] the United Nations, but with the
