Interviewed first on @cbsmornings, Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker calls the weekend hostage taking "completely overwhelming" and that he's still processing the incident.
@CBSMornings The rabbi recounts for @cbsmornings first making a cup of tea for the hostage-taker, "an opportunity for me to talk to him. In that moment, I didn't hear anything suspicious. Some of his story didn't quite add up, so I was a little bit curious."
@CBSMornings Rabbi Cytron-Walker says he'd recently taken courses with federal and local law enforcement about how to deal with gun-related incidents. In the last hour of the ordeal, "It didn't look good, it didn't sound good. We were terrified."

JUST IN: New @CBSNewsPoll finds @POTUS Biden has a 44% approval rating: cbsnews.com/news/biden-inf…
Although most like @POTUS Biden personally, words like “frustrated” and “disappointed” top people’s descriptions of things, along with the feeling that he’s “distracted” and not focusing on what they care about.
Perceived focus matters: @POTUS gets much more overall disapproval from people who don’t think he’s focused enough on inflation or the economy. That’s true even if you control for partisanship.

NEW FROM @CBSNewsPoll: January 6 has had lasting impacts on the nation's psyche, the most immediate of which is that millions of Americans think more violence is coming, and that democracy itself might be threatened. (A thread…)
Events of Jan. 6 were widely condemned when they happened and still are today by majorities of both parties. But there is an alternative set of descriptors and interpretations of those events, and of what should happen next, largely on the right.
A year ago, most Republicans strongly disapproved, but today, their disapproval is spread between strongly and a bit more only somewhat disapproving.
Americans who no longer strongly disapprove are less likely to describe the day's events as an insurrection than they were in Jan.

IN THE OVAL OFFICE… @POTUS Biden and British PM @BorisJohnson meet to discuss pandemic, trade and other issues. Johnson took 3 questions. White House aides shouted down U.S. attempts to ask questions. I asked Biden about southern border and we couldn’t decipher what he said.
@POTUS @BorisJohnson After pleasantries, Johnson suggested "just a couple of questions" and called on a reporter from The Sun, who asked about potential of a U.S.-UK trade deal and then the fate of Anne Sacoolas, charged in the death of 19-year-old Brit Harry Dunn.
@POTUS @BorisJohnson Johnson called on another British reporter who asked Biden again about his reluctance to move on a US-UK trade deal and whether it had to do with his concerns about respecting the Irish protocols.

NEW by @CBSDavidMartin: A drone strike against a suspected car bomb in Kabul turns out to have been a tragic blunder. Defense official says investigation by @CENTCOM determined the 8/29 strike killed an innocent aid worker along with 9 members of his family, including 7 children.
@CBSDavidMartin @CENTCOM The drone strike set off a large secondary explosion that officials originally said was evidence the car was indeed carrying explosives. But investigation determined the secondary explosion most likely set off by a propane tank located in the driveway. - @CBSDavidMartin (2/2)
@CBSDavidMartin @CENTCOM "I offer my profound condolences to the family and friends of those who were killed," Gen. McKenzie, @CENTCOM commander says in Pentagon briefing. "I offer my sincere apology," he adds, then says later: "I am fully responsible."
