[0:03] Good evening, I'm Russ Mitchell. As the

[0:06] floodwaters retreat, New Orleans focuses

[0:08] on counting the dead and reestablishing

[0:10] law and order. We'll have the latest on

[0:12] that and we'll have these stories.

[0:15] >> Did police from one nearby city use

[0:17] force to drive evacuees from New Orleans

[0:20] back into that flooded city? I'm Kelly

[0:22] Kova with that story.

[0:25] >> Invasion of kindness. I'm Bill Whitaker

[0:28] in Buxy, where foreign troops are

[0:30] lending a helping hand. I'm Randall

[0:32] Kingston. You think Hurricane Katrina is

[0:34] going to stop New Orleans from letting

[0:36] the good times roll? Well, think again.

[0:39] [Music]

[0:44] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:48] with Russ Mitchell.

[0:51] While water levels in New Orleans are

[0:53] dropping, the death toll from Hurricane

[0:55] Katrina is slowly rising. At least 383

[0:58] are now confirmed dead along the Gulf

[0:59] Coast. 1 million people are displaced.

[1:02] Here's the latest.

[1:04] Rescue operations are over. All effort

[1:07] now is on collecting the dead. Vice

[1:09] President Cheney visiting a shelter in

[1:11] Austin called hurricane relief efforts

[1:13] in Texas an enormous success story. and

[1:16] New Orleans police chief says law

[1:18] enforcement is regaining control of the

[1:20] city

[1:26] has the latest now. Byron, good evening.

[1:30] >> Well, good evening, Russ. We spent the

[1:31] day with New Orleans police chief. He

[1:33] took us around the city, showed us where

[1:35] New Orleans stands now and some of the

[1:37] issues it will face in the future.

[1:41] >> We still have almost 70% of the city

[1:44] underwater. I mean, you couldn't live in

[1:46] that. And that's my point. That water's

[1:48] polluted. It's full of disease.
