As Brian mentioned yesterday in this space and on-air, the broadcast originates out of New Orleans tonight. It's been nearly 18 months since Katrina hit and just half the city's population has returned. We'll show you how red tape, fears over crime and the levees are still blocking the road home for so many people.

Brian and his producer, Subrata De, just returned from an overnight shoot with the New Orleans Fire Department. They'll have that story for you tonight as well.

Here's a photo of Brian talking with the men of Engine Company 07. I'll post a few more photos from the field a little later.
