TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS

Here’s an early 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. I hope you had a great weekend.

We'll begin tonight's broadcast with the latest on the worst earthquakes to hit China in decades. The 7.9-magnitude quake killed more than 8,000 people, trapped hundreds of students and caused a toxic gas leak. Celia Hatton has the story of massive damage - and the search for survivors - from Beijing.

Next, we'll shift across Asia to the crisis in Myanmar. Allen Pizzey will report on the continuing effort to get aid finally making it in to the survivors of the deadly cyclone … though the United Nations says it's not nearly enough.

Here at home, we've had our own deadly weather over the weekend. Storms across the plains states and South spawned tornadoes that killed at least 22 people … and cut a wide swath of destruction. Kelly Cobiella has the story.

It's still early in tornado season, but this year is already being called the deadliest in a decade. What's causing the severely destructive storms - and how can we be better prepared when they do strike? Dave Price explains.

A new round of autism test cases are in federal court - claiming the link between vaccinations and autism shouldn't be denied. Sharyl Attkisson talks to the families bringing the cases. She'll also show us her exclusive interview with a former NIH director who breaks with her colleagues about what may be causing autism.

Finally tonight, we've started our engines on our week-long series, Eye on the Road. Jeff Glor and Nancy Cordes started their journeys at different ends of the country, heading for Independence, Missouri. Along the way, they'll chart gas prices they encounter - and the stories of the way rising prices at the pump affect Americans.

Thanks and I hope you'll join us tonight! Katie
