We're going to make i.. AMNA NAWAZ: The commander in chief# met with law enforcement and National## Guard troops this afternoon, thanking# them for their efforts patrolling the## nation's capital.

Trump claims that# the city is overrun with crime.

That## is despite statistics that show that# crime is largely down in the city.

Turning to the Middle East, Israeli Prime# Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that## Israel will rejoin talks with Hamas to# release all hostages from Gaza and end## the war.

Meeting today with army officers and# Cabinet ministers near the border with Gaza,## Netanyahu also said he would finalize plans# to take over Gaza City.

The Israeli military## has begun urging evacuations of the area and# has called up tens of thousands of reservists.

At least one# person was killed and 15 others injured.

Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin# and his Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov## met with top Indian officials.# Speaking to reporters afterwards,## Lavrov once again insisted that Russia play a# role in any security guarantees for Ukraine.

SERGEY LAVROV, Russian Foreign Minister## (through translator): The aim pursued by the# so-called coalition of t.. focus from elimination of the root causes# of the conflict and achieving a sustainable## settlement to providing security guarantees for# Ukraine without participation of the Russian## Federation.

This is so obvious to everyone that# I do hope this plot, this adventure will fail.

AMNA NAWAZ: For his part, Ukrainian President# Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia's overnight## attacks are just the latest sign that# Moscow is trying to avoid peace talks.

U.S. and European officials released a rough# outline today of the trade agreement they## informally struck last month, though some details# remain unfinished.

California's state legislature is upping the ante# in the growing national debate over redistricting.## Lawmakers in Sacramento are moving closer to# passing a new congressional map that aims to## net five seats for Democrats in next year's# midterm elections.

The map is meant to counter## the one passed by the Texas House yesterday,# which would help Republicans win five seats.

California Democrats say they# feel obligated to push back,## while Republicans insist the# redistricting hurts voters.

STATE REP. MARC BERMAN (D-CA): We don't# want this fight, and we didn't choose this## fight.

But with our democracy on the line, we# cannot and will not run away from this fight.

STATE REP. JAMES GALLAGHER (R-CA): You# move forward fighting fire with fire,## what happens?

You burn it# all down.

And in this case,## it affects our most fundamental# American principle, representation.

AMNA NAWAZ: California's lawmakers don't# have final say, though.

If passed, it would## go to voters in November for approval.

That is# not the case in Texas, where the state Senate## is expected to approve its new map tonight,# which Governor Greg Abbott would then sign.

The Supreme Court is letting the Trump# administration cut nearly $800 million in## research funding from the National Institutes# of Health.

The cuts were part of a government## push to rid such agencies of diversity, equity# and inclusion efforts, or DEI.

Advocacy groups## say the slashing of hundreds of NIH grants will# -- quote -- "hurt public health and human life."

The court was split 5-4, with Chief# Justice John Roberts siding with the## court's three liberal justices in# wanting to keep the funds in place.

Hurricane Erin is slowly beginning to# turn away from the U.S. East Coast,## but not before lashing the shoreline with strong# winds and dangerous waves.

The Category 2 storm## is forecast to gradually weaken over the next# couple of days as it moves away from the U.S.## and Canada and turns farther out to sea.# It has remained hundreds of miles offshore,## but the massive hurricane has sent huge# ocean swells and violent surf crashing## into piers and spilling over dunes# along North Carolina's Outer Banks.

Meanwhile, officials further north in New# York are warning people to avoid the water.

BRUCE BLAKEMAN (R), Nassau County, New York,# Executive: The ocean is rough.

We have waves## that are expected to be between 10 and 15# feet, which are very large.

So that is why,## out of an abundance the caution, we will not# allow people on the beach or in the water today.

AMNA NAWAZ: All beaches remain closed to# swimming today in New York City and on Long## Island.

Many more have been shut from New Jersey# to Maryland and Delaware.

Even in Massachusetts,## waves were expected to reach 10 feet, with# high surf advisories through Saturday.

The State Department says it's reviewing the# records of more than 55 million foreigners## who hold valid U.S. visas for potential# violations.

A therapist,## presidential adviser, evangelical broadcast# personality and conservative activist,## his public stances on contentious# political issues won him fans and foes.

Correspondent Lisa Desjardins looks# back on his life in public view.

DR. JAMES DOBSON, FOUNDER, Focus# on the Family: Mr. President,## you have had a busy day, hav.. LISA DESJARDINS: From the Oval# Office to broadcast airwaves,## James Dobson helped shepherd the# rise of the modern religious right.

DR. JAMES DOBSON: You do not# need anger to control children.

LISA DESJARDINS: He rose in the early '70s, a# Ph.D. in child development offering parenting## advice who soon founded the group Focus on the# Family.

That would grow into a media empire,## a pioneering blend of politics and religion,## at its peak reaching 220 million# people around the globe each day.

Dobson lobbied both presidents and the public## with his view of biblical and# traditional family values... DR. JAMES DOBSON: We receive here at Focus on# the Family something on the order of 200,000## to 250,000 letters and phone calls a month.

So# we have a feel for what's going on out there.

LISA DESJARDINS: ... and was especially strident# when it came to abortion and gay marriage.

DR. JAMES DOBSON: Because they both attack the## family, both weaken the family,# undermine it and compromise it.

LISA DESJARDINS: Dobson's views# on LGBTQ individuals were extreme,## pushing gay conversion therapy, an idea# debunked by medical professionals as harmful.

He took those fights to the courts, co-founding# the conservative legal organization that became## the Alliance Defending Freedom.

In 2004,# President George W. Bush earned Dobson's## first explicit endorsement, triggering a# new era of influence with his listeners.

DR. JAMES DOBSON: I beg you to go to# the polls on November the 8th.

Please## don't even think about sitting out this election.

LISA DESJARDINS: Leading to his# significant 2016 endorsement of## Donald Trump, breaking with# other evangelical leaders.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the# United States: James Dobson... (CHEERING) DONALD TRUMP: ... great man, great guy.

LISA DESJARDINS: He told the# Christian Broadcasting Network: DR. JAMES DOBSON: Couldn't be# more pleased with him.

Now,## he's not a perfect man, but I'm not either.

LISA DESJARDINS: Dobson is survived by his# wife, children and grandchildren.

He was 89.
