Jets taking of from USS Kitty Hawk STORYLINE: The destroyer USS John S. McCain fired its first missiles in the war on Iraq on Thursday night. Several low flying Tomahawk guided missiles were successfully launched from the ship in the second night of the operation. Meanwhile a commander of one of the five US aircraft carriers in the Gulf has confirmed that warplanes under his command flew 24 bombing missions overnight on Wednesday striking military targets in Iraq. The strikes were separate from the more than 40 Tomahawk missiles launched at strategic targets near Baghdad earlier on Thursday, said Rear Admiral Barry Costello, commander of the USS Constellation. Costello also said that EA-6B Prowler planes - which are able to block radar transmissions - launched from the Constellation overnight to support F1-17 Stealth Bombers over Iraq. This comes as a new wave of jets took off for unknown targets from the USS Constellation on Thursday night, beginning a second night of air attacks against Iraq. On board another aircraft carrier in the region, the USS Kitty Hawk, the numbers of sorties flown in the last 24 hours has increased by 50% in last 24 hours. But US Vice Admiral Matt Moffatt insists that everything is being done to prevent any civilians being hurt. Each of the aircraft carriers has more than 70 warplanes. 05:35:45 DAY FOOTAGE OF PLANE TAKING OFF 05:35:49 BOMBS ON DECK 05:35:52 LANDING OF PLANE 05:35:59 CU OF PLANE TURNING 05:36:24 KUWAIT HELICOPTER 3 AP-APTN-1000: Kuwait Helicopter 3 Friday, 21 March 2003 STORY: Kuwait Helicopter 3 - WRAP Adds British FM expressing condolences to families of crash victims LENGTH: 1:16 FIRST RUN: 0900 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: Eng/Nat SOURCE: POOL/APTN/SKY STORY NUMBER: 366780 DATELINE: Various, 21 March 2003/FILE SHOTLIST: POOL FILE - APTN Clients Only 1.

POOL FILE - APTN Clients Only 8. Helicopter takes off with USS Carl Vinson in background STORYLINE: A US Marine helicopter crashed in Kuwait on Friday, killing the eight British and four American soldiers aboard, military officials said. Officials said the cause of the crash was under investigation, adding that hostile fire had not been reported in the area. Earlier, US officials had said 12 Britons and four Americans had died. The CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter was assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. It crashed at 00:37 GMT Friday morning in Kuwait - about 9 miles (15 kilometers) away from the border with Iraq, military officials said. Lt. Col. Ben Curry, a British Royal Marines spokesman, said the crash occurred as troops were being deployed to seize oil fields on the Al Faw peninsula in southern Iraq. Otherwise the operation had been a success, he added. Curry said the "aim of the assault was to capture intact an oil pumping station and pipeline valve in order to prevent their destruction by Iraqi forces and the subsequent environmental pollution of the Persian Gulf." "Iraqi resistance has been light and their have been enemy casualties and prisoners," he added. Group Capt. Al Lockwood, spokesman for British forces in the Gulf, also said the helicopter had not been shot down. Britain's foreign secretary, Jack Straw, who was in Brussels, described the crash as an "accident" and expressed condolences to the families of the soldiers killed. The Marines use the Sea Knight, a bus-like helicopter with two large rotors, to fly troops from ships at sea or base camps to forward positions. The Navy and Marines grounded all 291 Sea Knight helicopters in August after an inspection of one helicopter in North Carolina found a crack in a rotor assembly. A Marine Corps CH-46 crashed in 2001, killing three Marines and injuring two. 05:37:45 KUWAIT HARRIERS AP-APTN-1000: Kuwait Harriers Friday, 21 March 2003 STORY: Kuwait Harriers - REPLAY British Harrier jets from base in Kuwait LENGTH: 3:09 FIRST RUN: 0900 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Natsound SOURCE: UK POOL STORY NUMBER: 366771 DATELINE: 19/20 March 2003 SHOTLIST: 19 March 2003 1.

Various shots of leaders sitting down before start of summit meeting STORYLINE: European Union leaders, meeting in a sombre mood on Friday as war in Iraq highlighted their deep divisions, mapped out a limited role to help Iraq recover from years of dictatorship and conflict. Late on Thursday, the 15 leaders agreed on the need to U-R-G-E-N-Tly address the humanitarian needs of the Iraqi people, offered to support the creation of representative government and urged the United Nations be given a, "central role during and after the current crisis". There was not a word in the EU statement on the rights or wrongs of the US-led war which tore European opinion apart for weeks before the outbreak of hostilities. Those differences were evident, most notably between the anti-war French and the British, the only EU nation participating actively in the attack on Iraq. After weeks of diplomatic barbs and harsh criticism, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and French President Jacques Chirac shook hands at the summit, aides said. However, they were not seen on camera together. The Iraq issue has split the EU as Spain, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and Portugal backed Britain's pro-American stance, while others lined up with France and Germany in opposing war. 05:56:52 FRANCE RICINE AP-APTN-1000: France Ricin Friday, 21 March 2003 STORY: France Ricin - REPLAY Traces of ricin found in Paris railway station LENGTH: 1:59 FIRST RUN: 0900 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: French/Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 366778 DATELINE: Paris, 21 March 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Various interior shots of Gare de Lyon station. STORY Police seized two vials with traces of the highly toxic poison ricin from a locker at a Paris train station this week, as it heightened security against terrorism during the US-led campaign in Iraq. The containers were removed from the Gare de Lyon station on Monday after police were informed of their presence by officials from SNCF, the state-run train authority, a ministry statement said. In the locker, agents found two vials of powder, a bottle of liquid and two other vials also with liquid. Tests showed the last two vials "contained traces of ricin in a mixture which has been proven to be a very toxic poison," the statement said. Ricin, which is derived from the castor bean plant, can kill within days. There is no antidote or treatment. It has been linked in the past to al-Qaida and Iraq. 05:59:01 BAGDAD HOSPITAL--NEW VIDEO 06:02:42 IRAQ SADDAM-REPLAY IN MEETING AP-APTN-1000: Iraq Saddam Friday, 21 March 2003 STORY: Iraq Saddam - REPLAY Iraqi TV shows what it says is Saddam meeting with cabinet LENGTH: 0:45 FIRST RUN: 2300 RESTRICTIONS: No Access Iraq TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: IRAQI TV STORY NUMBER: 366715 DATELINE: Unknown SHOTLIST: 1.
