Cameras 19. Franklin exiting courthouse 20. Franklin crossing road STORYLINE: The FBI arrested a Defence Department analyst on Wednesday on charges that he passed classified information about potential Iranian-backed attacks against US forces in Iraq to employees of a pro-Israel group. Larry Franklin, 58, turned himself in on Wednesday and made a brief appearance in a suburban US District Court and was released on a 100-thousand US dollar bond under the condition he surrender his firearms and passport. The single charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years. A preliminary hearing was set for May 27. Franklin's lawyer, John Richards, said he expects his client will plead not-guilty. The charge is the first in an investigation dating to 2001 about whether Israel improperly obtained classified US information. Franklin, who specialised on Iran and Middle Eastern affairs and had clearance to review top secret information, allegedly gave information to two people without clearance at a lunch meeting in June 2003, FBI agent Catherine Hanna said in an affidavit accompanying the criminal complaint. Hanna said Franklin acknowledged at the lunch that the information was highly classified and asked the two people not to use it. The people at the lunch were employees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a law enforcement official said on condition of anonymity because they are not identified in court papers. The law enforcement official said it concerned possible attacks against US troops by Iranian-backed groups in Iraq. FBI agents twice searched AIPAC offices as part of the investigation and have interviewed two AIPAC employees about whether Franklin gave them classified information that wound up in Israel's hands. AIPAC said it gave the FBI files related to those same two employees, who previously were identified as Steve Rosen, the director of research, and Keith Weissman, deputy director of foreign policy issues. Neither still works for the group. AIPAC declined to comment on Wednesday, but has previously said it had done nothing wrong and was cooperating with the investigation. The Justice Department said Franklin's top secret security clearance was suspended in June 2004. He formerly worked in the office of policy undersecretary Douglas Feith. The suspension followed a search of Franklin's West Virginia home that turned up 83 classified documents. Franklin holds a doctorate in Asian studies and is a colonel in the Air Force Reserves. The Israeli government has denied spying on the United States, saying that meetings between US and Israeli officials are common and that the two countries share many secrets. Israel said it has imposed a ban on espionage in the United States since the scandal over Jonathan Pollard, a civilian intelligence analyst for the Navy caught spying for Israel in 1985 and sentenced to life in prison.

Lynch's parents and brother spoke at a news conference at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre in Germany, a US military hospital near the Ramstein airbase. Lynch's brother, Greg Lynch Junior, who is also a private soldier in the US Army, said his sister was concerned for the families of other personnel in her unit who had been killed or remained captive. Jessica Lynch, a 19-year-old Army supply clerk from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on 23 March after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy took a wrong near Nasiriyah and ran into an Iraqi ambush. She was rescued on 1 April from a hospital in the southern Iraqi city by US commandos and airlifted to Germany. Lynch was aware that members of her unit were killed, the family said, though it was unclear whether she had asked or had been told by military officials. Doctors have said Lynch is in stable condition in intensive care, where she was being treated for a head wound, an injury to her spine and fractures to her right arm, both legs, and her right foot and ankle. She underwent back surgery Thursday to correct a slipped vertebra that was putting pressure on her spinal cord. Since then, she has undergone several more surgeries to stabilize the fractures.

The price of name-brand prescription drugs most used by seniors has increased by rates substantially above inflation for the past four years, undercutting the potential value of the new Medicare drug discount card, two senior advocacy groups reported today. In a study tracking the prices of 197 of the most widely used brand-named drugs from 2000 to 2003, the group AARP found a cumulative increase of 27.6 percent as compared to a general inflation increase of 10.4 percent. Analyzing the prices of the top 30 name-brand drugs prescribed for seniors, Families USA found an increase on average 4.3 times greater than inflation between January 2003 and January 2004. The AARP report also found that the price escalation has picked up during the past four years: About one quarter of the most-used name brand drugs more than doubled the general inflation rate in 2000, while 87 percent of those same drugs doubled the inflation rate in 2003.

Media STORYLINE: An Iraqi Turkoman leader has called for restraint from emboldened Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq, who are currently acting as de facto rulers of oil-rich Kirkuk. Many Turkomans live in the area around Kirkuk and Mosul, where Kurdish fighters have arrived in large numbers since the cities fell. There have been concerns about ethnic conflicts in parts of northern Iraq, which is also home to Arab, Christian and Assyrian minorities. Muzaffer Arslan, who calls himself the "Establishing Chairman of the Iraqi National Turkoman Party" was on his way to northern Iraq from Turkey on Saturday. Speaking at a press conference, he said he was glad Saddam Hussein's regime had gone, but stressed that all ethnic minorities had suffered equally under his rule. A senior Kurdish leader said on Friday that Kurdish fighters would leave Kirkuk as soon as enough American troops arrive to take over, easing Turkish concerns of a separatist push. 14:49:01 #111 14:53:14 030412#085 Name: 030412#085 Title: UK DEMO APTN 1200G Type: APTN FEED In point: 13:25:24.12 Out point: 13:27:06.20 Duration: 00:01:42.06 Tape ID 6870 Dopesheet AP-APTN-1200: ?

Various shots of march STORYLINE: Thousands of demonstrators marched through London on Saturday to commemorate those killed during the war in Iraq and warn that the suffering is far from over. Tens of thousands of protesters, many holding placards demanding "No occupation of Iraq," converged on Parliament Square, where they held two minutes' silence for the victims of war before marching on towards Hyde Park. In bright spring sunshine, marchers tossed bunches of yellow daffodils at the gates of Downing Street, home to British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Many said they doubted whether the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime would bring an end to violence in Iraq. Imran Khan, a Pakistan-born international cricketer and politician, was among the well-known faces at the march. Organisers said dozens of buses had been booked from towns and cities across Britain to bring up to a quarter of a million people to the capital. Police said they expected 100-thousand marchers or fewer. 14:55:10 030412#094 Name: 030412#094 Title: UK HYDE PARK BBC EVNW Type: EVN FEED In point: 14:27:52.17 Out point: 14:29:24.01 Duration: 00:01:31.12 Tape ID 6871 Dopesheet HYDE PARK Date Shot: 12-APR-2003 Location: LONDON Country: UNITED KINGDOM Sound: NATURAL Language Source: GBBBC Restrictions: NO ACCESS UK/ITN/CH5 EURONEWS/APTN Dopesheet: Thousands of peace campaigners are marching through the streets of central London today in protest at the continuing war in Iraq. The Stop the War coalition believes public opposition to the conflict is still strong - in spite of scenes of jubilation this week as American tanks entered Iraqi cities. Organisers were hoping that up to 250,000 protesters would join the rally through the capital although there are estimates of only 10,000 taking part. The rally, which started at Victoria and Waterloo stations and takes two routes through the city, will converge on Parliament Square, where a two minutes' silence will be held "for the war dead". Marchers have been asked to bring flowers, cards, wreaths or whatever they feel appropriate to lay outside 10 Downing Street as they walk past. From Parliament Square demonstrators will then progress through Trafalgar Square, Haymarket and Piccadilly before attending a rally in Hyde Park. The march, called on Thursday by Stop the War with the Muslim Association of Great Britain and CND, is the third mass London rally to be held. 14:56:56 66 Lynch exits Ramsey 030412#066 Name: 030412#066 Title: GERMANY LYNCH APTN RTV EVF 1135G Type: FEED-LINES In point: 12:39:37.16 Out point: 12:42:27.22 Duration: 00:02:50.06 Tape ID 6869 Dopesheet LYNCH Date Shot: 12-APR-2003 Location: RAMSTEIN Country: GERMANY Sound: NATURAL Language: Source: GBRTV /GBAPTN Restrictions: Web Use Restricted: N Dopesheet: Injured U.S. Private Jessica Lynch was carried by stretcher onto a huge transport plane at Ramstein airbase in Germany on Saturday (April 12) for the flight back home to the U.S. Private Lynch was rescued by U.S. special forces in Iraq after her unit was ambushed in southern Iraq last month. She was one of about 50 U.S. troops injured in the US-led war against Iraq who was due to leave Ramstein milirary airbase in Germany on Saturday on the first leg of a trip to reunite them with their families in the United States. Lynch, 19, from Palestine, West Virginia, was one of 15 soldiers listed missing, captured or killed when a 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company convoy made a wrong turn and was attacked by Iraqi tanks and fighters. Five of the captives, but not Lynch, were shown on Iraqi television as well as the bloodied bodies of up to eight men, prompting President George W. Bush to warn Iraqis they should be punished as "war criminals" if they mistreated U.S. prisoners. Lynch was flown to a U.S. Ramstein air base on April 3 and received treatment at Landstuhl Medical Facility. Shotlist: SHOWS: RAMSTEIN AIRBASE, GERMANY (APRIL 12) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) 1.

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

The 19-year-old returned on Saturday aboard a C-17 military ambulance from Germany to Andrews Air Force Base near the capital, along with her immediate family and some four-dozen wounded soldiers. "We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWPSAPTER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Some wore blue-and-white striped pajamas, another was in blue shorts. Marines at this base came forward to applaud and pat them on the back. Capt.

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

The 19-year-old returned on Saturday aboard a C-17 military ambulance from Germany to Andrews Air Force Base near the capital, along with her immediate family and some four-dozen wounded soldiers. "We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWPSAPTER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

The 19-year-old returned on Saturday aboard a C-17 military ambulance from Germany to Andrews Air Force Base near the capital, along with her immediate family and some four-dozen wounded soldiers. "We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:00 NEWSPAPERS IN BASRA 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWSPAPER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Just forty kilometres (24 miles) out of Tikrit, the road appeared empty except for some abandoned military vehicles and local Iraqis walking along the road. Meanwhile, the US Commander in charge of coalition forces in Iraq said U.S. troops had pushed into Tikrit on Sunday - power center for Iraq's Sunni Muslim tribes that is believed to be one of the last strongholds of fighters loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Along the way, U.S. Marines rescued seven U.S. soldiers who had been captured by Iraqi forces earlier in the war. All were believed to be in good health. Franks said his troops had met no resistance as they entered Tikrit. He wouldn't say that the war was over, rather that "we have American forces in Tikrit right now." He did not indicate whether the forces were in the center or the outskirts of town, and did not say whether it had fallen. Tikrit is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

The 19-year-old returned on Saturday aboard a C-17 military ambulance from Germany to Andrews Air Force Base near the capital, along with her immediate family and some four-dozen wounded soldiers. "We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:00 NEWSPAPERS IN BASRA 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWSPAPER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

(AP Photo/Wally Santana) STORYLINE: Iraqi troops released seven captured U.S. soldiers -some wounded but in good condition - to Marines on Sunday, near where U.S. troops were entering Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. Clad in an assortment of pajamas and shorts, the soldiers clambered out of helicopters to a delighted welcome at an air base in southern Iraq, hours after their release. The seven were taken by helicopter to this base near Kut and flown to a military airport south of Kuwait City. Ronald Young Sr. identified one of the Americans in shaky video shown by CNN as his son, Chief Warrant Officer Ronald D. Young Jr., who was listed as a POW after his Apache helicopter was forced down March 23. Also among the seven was Chief Warrant Officer David S. Williams, 30, who was in the Apache with Young. Relatives identified the others as four members of the 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company that was ambushed outside of the southern city of Nasiriyah on March 23: Army Spc. Shoshana Johnson, 30, Fort Bliss, Texas, Army Sgt. James Riley, 31, Pennsauken, New Jersey, Army Spc. Joseph Hudson, 23, Alamogordo, New Mexico, and Army Pfc. Patrick Miller, 23, Park City, Kansas. The six had been listed as POWs. The seventh soldier was not immediately identified, and the Pentagon was in the process of notifying families. Riley, Miller, Hudson and Johnson were among five POWs shown on Iraqi television. The fifth was Spc. Edgar Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas. His family couldn't immediately be reached Sunday morning. One of the men found Sunday raised his fist in the air and smiled slightly as he strode from the helicopter at the southern Iraq airbase. Another limped, apparently with an injured right ankle. Some wore blue-and-white striped pajamas, another was in blue shorts. Marines at this base came forward to applaud and pat them on the back. Capt. David Romley said Marines marching north toward Tikrit were met by Iraqi soldiers north of Samarra who approached the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Company, and the seven Americans were with them. ****************************************************************** 11:31:44 SOLDIERS IN KIRKUK 11:36:40 OMAN TV CHANGE TAPE ****************************************************************** 12:01:54 MIDDLE EAST BULLETIN 12:01:59 BAGHDAD WRAP: AFTERNOON'S EVENTS 12:02:09 SOLDIERS LEADING AWAY UNRULEY IRAQI 12:02:21 12:02:21 LARGE GROUP OD IRAQIS MARCHING THROUGH STREETS 12:02:33 IRAQIS RUSH INTO BUILDING, YOU CAN HEAR THE PRAYER CALLS 12:02:46 IRAQIS IN A MOSQUE WITH MAN CHANTING AND THEY REPEAT WHAT HE SAYS 12:03:09 GROUP OD IRAQIS WALKING DOWN STREET 12:03:17 GROUP OF IRAQI WOMEN CRYING AND PLEADING 12:03:26 DAE 12:04:20 IRAQIS TRYING TO FIX POWER LINES 12:04:29 IRAQIS CLEANING UP STREET, SHOVELLING DIRT AND DEBRIS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD ****************************************************************** 12:04:52 US FRANKS 2 12:04:58 FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS: HE COMMENTS ON THE POWS FOUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FSG OF 7 POWS FOUND ****************************************************************** 12:08:20 STILLS OF US SOLDIERS (POWS) BEING RESCUED (MORE THAN ONE, VARIOUS) ****************************************************************** 12:08:53 STILL OF WATBAN: REPORTS THAT SADDAM'S HALF BROTHER HAS BEEN CAPTURE ***************************************************************** 12:09:10 BASRA WRAP ****************************************************************** 12:12:25 TIKRIT ROAD 12:12:39 IRAQI CHECKPOINT 12:12:42 TANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WTH SHEEP ON THE SIDE 12:12:47 BOYS CLIMBING ON TANK STORY: ++Tikrit Road - NEW Checkpoints and burnt out vehicles on the road between Irbil and Tikrit LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369524 DATELINE: Near Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Abandoned tank on the road STORYLINE: The Northern Iraqi road between Irbil and Saddam Hussein's last stronghold Tikrit, was quiet on Sunday despite reports that fighters loyal to Saddam Hussein's regime were still holding out Tikrit. Just forty kilometres (24 miles) out of Tikrit, the road appeared empty except for some abandoned military vehicles and local Iraqis walking along the road. Meanwhile, the US Commander in charge of coalition forces in Iraq said U.S. troops had pushed into Tikrit on Sunday - power center for Iraq's Sunni Muslim tribes that is believed to be one of the last strongholds of fighters loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Along the way, U.S. Marines rescued seven U.S. soldiers who had been captured by Iraqi forces earlier in the war. All were believed to be in good health. Franks said his troops had met no resistance as they entered Tikrit. He wouldn't say that the war was over, rather that "we have American forces in Tikrit right now." He did not indicate whether the forces were in the center or the outskirts of town, and did not say whether it had fallen. Tikrit is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. U.S. officials have played down the prospect of a major battle in Tikrit because of desertions and damage from repeated airstrikes. 12:14:32 END OF BULLETIN ***************************************************************** 12:15:20 SPORTS

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

"We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:00 NEWSPAPERS IN BASRA 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWSPAPER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

(AP Photo/Wally Santana) STORYLINE: Iraqi troops released seven captured U.S. soldiers -some wounded but in good condition - to Marines on Sunday, near where U.S. troops were entering Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. Clad in an assortment of pajamas and shorts, the soldiers clambered out of helicopters to a delighted welcome at an air base in southern Iraq, hours after their release. The seven were taken by helicopter to this base near Kut and flown to a military airport south of Kuwait City. Ronald Young Sr. identified one of the Americans in shaky video shown by CNN as his son, Chief Warrant Officer Ronald D. Young Jr., who was listed as a POW after his Apache helicopter was forced down March 23. Also among the seven was Chief Warrant Officer David S. Williams, 30, who was in the Apache with Young. Relatives identified the others as four members of the 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company that was ambushed outside of the southern city of Nasiriyah on March 23: Army Spc. Shoshana Johnson, 30, Fort Bliss, Texas, Army Sgt. James Riley, 31, Pennsauken, New Jersey, Army Spc. Joseph Hudson, 23, Alamogordo, New Mexico, and Army Pfc. Patrick Miller, 23, Park City, Kansas. The six had been listed as POWs. The seventh soldier was not immediately identified, and the Pentagon was in the process of notifying families. Riley, Miller, Hudson and Johnson were among five POWs shown on Iraqi television. The fifth was Spc. Edgar Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas. His family couldn't immediately be reached Sunday morning. One of the men found Sunday raised his fist in the air and smiled slightly as he strode from the helicopter at the southern Iraq airbase. Another limped, apparently with an injured right ankle. Some wore blue-and-white striped pajamas, another was in blue shorts. Marines at this base came forward to applaud and pat them on the back. Capt. David Romley said Marines marching north toward Tikrit were met by Iraqi soldiers north of Samarra who approached the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Company, and the seven Americans were with them. ****************************************************************** 11:31:44 SOLDIERS IN KIRKUK 11:36:40 OMAN TV CHANGE TAPE ****************************************************************** 12:01:54 MIDDLE EAST BULLETIN 12:01:59 BAGHDAD WRAP: AFTERNOON'S EVENTS 12:02:09 SOLDIERS LEADING AWAY UNRULEY IRAQI 12:02:21 12:02:21 LARGE GROUP OD IRAQIS MARCHING THROUGH STREETS 12:02:33 IRAQIS RUSH INTO BUILDING, YOU CAN HEAR THE PRAYER CALLS 12:02:46 IRAQIS IN A MOSQUE WITH MAN CHANTING AND THEY REPEAT WHAT HE SAYS 12:03:09 GROUP OD IRAQIS WALKING DOWN STREET 12:03:17 GROUP OF IRAQI WOMEN CRYING AND PLEADING 12:03:26 DAE 12:04:20 IRAQIS TRYING TO FIX POWER LINES 12:04:29 IRAQIS CLEANING UP STREET, SHOVELLING DIRT AND DEBRIS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD ****************************************************************** 12:04:52 US FRANKS 2 12:04:58 FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS: HE COMMENTS ON THE POWS FOUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FSG OF 7 POWS FOUND ****************************************************************** 12:08:20 STILLS OF US SOLDIERS (POWS) BEING RESCUED (MORE THAN ONE, VARIOUS) ****************************************************************** 12:08:53 STILL OF WATBAN: REPORTS THAT SADDAM'S HALF BROTHER HAS BEEN CAPTURE ***************************************************************** 12:09:10 BASRA WRAP ****************************************************************** 12:12:25 TIKRIT ROAD 12:12:39 IRAQI CHECKPOINT 12:12:42 TANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WTH SHEEP ON THE SIDE 12:12:47 BOYS CLIMBING ON TANK STORY: ++Tikrit Road - NEW Checkpoints and burnt out vehicles on the road between Irbil and Tikrit LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369524 DATELINE: Near Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Abandoned tank on the road STORYLINE: The Northern Iraqi road between Irbil and Saddam Hussein's last stronghold Tikrit, was quiet on Sunday despite reports that fighters loyal to Saddam Hussein's regime were still holding out Tikrit. Just forty kilometres (24 miles) out of Tikrit, the road appeared empty except for some abandoned military vehicles and local Iraqis walking along the road. Meanwhile, the US Commander in charge of coalition forces in Iraq said U.S. troops had pushed into Tikrit on Sunday - power center for Iraq's Sunni Muslim tribes that is believed to be one of the last strongholds of fighters loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Along the way, U.S. Marines rescued seven U.S. soldiers who had been captured by Iraqi forces earlier in the war. All were believed to be in good health. Franks said his troops had met no resistance as they entered Tikrit. He wouldn't say that the war was over, rather that "we have American forces in Tikrit right now." He did not indicate whether the forces were in the center or the outskirts of town, and did not say whether it had fallen. Tikrit is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. U.S. officials have played down the prospect of a major battle in Tikrit because of desertions and damage from repeated airstrikes. 12:14:32 END OF BULLETIN ***************************************************************** 12:15:20 SPORTS

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

"We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:00 NEWSPAPERS IN BASRA 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWSPAPER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Riley, Miller, Hudson and Johnson were among five POWs shown on Iraqi television. The fifth was Spc. Edgar Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas. His family couldn't immediately be reached Sunday morning. One of the men found Sunday raised his fist in the air and smiled slightly as he strode from the helicopter at the southern Iraq airbase. Another limped, apparently with an injured right ankle. Some wore blue-and-white striped pajamas, another was in blue shorts. Marines at this base came forward to applaud and pat them on the back. Capt. David Romley said Marines marching north toward Tikrit were met by Iraqi soldiers north of Samarra who approached the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Company, and the seven Americans were with them. ****************************************************************** 11:31:44 SOLDIERS IN KIRKUK 11:36:40 OMAN TV CHANGE TAPE ****************************************************************** 12:01:54 MIDDLE EAST BULLETIN 12:01:59 BAGHDAD WRAP: AFTERNOON'S EVENTS 12:02:09 SOLDIERS LEADING AWAY UNRULEY IRAQI 12:02:21 12:02:21 LARGE GROUP OD IRAQIS MARCHING THROUGH STREETS 12:02:33 IRAQIS RUSH INTO BUILDING, YOU CAN HEAR THE PRAYER CALLS 12:02:46 IRAQIS IN A MOSQUE WITH MAN CHANTING AND THEY REPEAT WHAT HE SAYS 12:03:09 GROUP OD IRAQIS WALKING DOWN STREET 12:03:17 GROUP OF IRAQI WOMEN CRYING AND PLEADING 12:03:26 DAE 12:04:20 IRAQIS TRYING TO FIX POWER LINES 12:04:29 IRAQIS CLEANING UP STREET, SHOVELLING DIRT AND DEBRIS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD ****************************************************************** 12:04:52 US FRANKS 2 12:04:58 FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS: HE COMMENTS ON THE POWS FOUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FSG OF 7 POWS FOUND ****************************************************************** 12:08:20 STILLS OF US SOLDIERS (POWS) BEING RESCUED (MORE THAN ONE, VARIOUS) ****************************************************************** 12:08:53 STILL OF WATBAN: REPORTS THAT SADDAM'S HALF BROTHER HAS BEEN CAPTURE ***************************************************************** 12:09:10 BASRA WRAP ****************************************************************** 12:12:25 TIKRIT ROAD 12:12:39 IRAQI CHECKPOINT 12:12:42 TANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WTH SHEEP ON THE SIDE 12:12:47 BOYS CLIMBING ON TANK STORY: ++Tikrit Road - NEW Checkpoints and burnt out vehicles on the road between Irbil and Tikrit LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369524 DATELINE: Near Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Abandoned tank on the road STORYLINE: The Northern Iraqi road between Irbil and Saddam Hussein's last stronghold Tikrit, was quiet on Sunday despite reports that fighters loyal to Saddam Hussein's regime were still holding out Tikrit. Just forty kilometres (24 miles) out of Tikrit, the road appeared empty except for some abandoned military vehicles and local Iraqis walking along the road. Meanwhile, the US Commander in charge of coalition forces in Iraq said U.S. troops had pushed into Tikrit on Sunday - power center for Iraq's Sunni Muslim tribes that is believed to be one of the last strongholds of fighters loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Along the way, U.S. Marines rescued seven U.S. soldiers who had been captured by Iraqi forces earlier in the war. All were believed to be in good health. Franks said his troops had met no resistance as they entered Tikrit. He wouldn't say that the war was over, rather that "we have American forces in Tikrit right now." He did not indicate whether the forces were in the center or the outskirts of town, and did not say whether it had fallen. Tikrit is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. U.S. officials have played down the prospect of a major battle in Tikrit because of desertions and damage from repeated airstrikes. 12:14:32 END OF BULLETIN ***************************************************************** 12:15:20 SPORTS

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

Ambulance and entourage approach Walter Reed Army Medical Center and enter STORYLINE: Jessica Lynch, the American soldier rescued in a daring commando raid in Iraq, begun her recovery from her head-to-toe injuries at the Army's premier medical centre several miles (kilometres) from downtown Washington. The 19-year-old returned on Saturday aboard a C-17 military ambulance from Germany to Andrews Air Force Base near the capital, along with her immediate family and some four-dozen wounded soldiers. "We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:00 NEWSPAPERS IN BASRA 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWSPAPER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Just forty kilometres (24 miles) out of Tikrit, the road appeared empty except for some abandoned military vehicles and local Iraqis walking along the road. Meanwhile, the US Commander in charge of coalition forces in Iraq said U.S. troops had pushed into Tikrit on Sunday - power center for Iraq's Sunni Muslim tribes that is believed to be one of the last strongholds of fighters loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Along the way, U.S. Marines rescued seven U.S. soldiers who had been captured by Iraqi forces earlier in the war. All were believed to be in good health. Franks said his troops had met no resistance as they entered Tikrit. He wouldn't say that the war was over, rather that "we have American forces in Tikrit right now." He did not indicate whether the forces were in the center or the outskirts of town, and did not say whether it had fallen. Tikrit is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. U.S. officials have played down the prospect of a major battle in Tikrit because of desertions and damage from repeated airstrikes. 12:14:32 END OF BULLETIN ***************************************************************** 12:15:20 SPORTS

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1. SOUNDBITE: (English) General Tommy Franks, Centcom Commander: "Actually as I walked out 20 minutes ago to head over here, George, my staff came up and said, good news general, we have located and they appear to be reasonably healthy 6 of our youngsters who were missing. What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

The 19-year-old returned on Saturday aboard a C-17 military ambulance from Germany to Andrews Air Force Base near the capital, along with her immediate family and some four-dozen wounded soldiers. "We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:00 NEWSPAPERS IN BASRA 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWSPAPER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Just forty kilometres (24 miles) out of Tikrit, the road appeared empty except for some abandoned military vehicles and local Iraqis walking along the road. Meanwhile, the US Commander in charge of coalition forces in Iraq said U.S. troops had pushed into Tikrit on Sunday - power center for Iraq's Sunni Muslim tribes that is believed to be one of the last strongholds of fighters loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Along the way, U.S. Marines rescued seven U.S. soldiers who had been captured by Iraqi forces earlier in the war. All were believed to be in good health. Franks said his troops had met no resistance as they entered Tikrit. He wouldn't say that the war was over, rather that "we have American forces in Tikrit right now." He did not indicate whether the forces were in the center or the outskirts of town, and did not say whether it had fallen. Tikrit is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

The 19-year-old returned on Saturday aboard a C-17 military ambulance from Germany to Andrews Air Force Base near the capital, along with her immediate family and some four-dozen wounded soldiers. "We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:00 NEWSPAPERS IN BASRA 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWSPAPER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

(AP Photo/Wally Santana) STORYLINE: Iraqi troops released seven captured U.S. soldiers -some wounded but in good condition - to Marines on Sunday, near where U.S. troops were entering Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. Clad in an assortment of pajamas and shorts, the soldiers clambered out of helicopters to a delighted welcome at an air base in southern Iraq, hours after their release. The seven were taken by helicopter to this base near Kut and flown to a military airport south of Kuwait City. Ronald Young Sr. identified one of the Americans in shaky video shown by CNN as his son, Chief Warrant Officer Ronald D. Young Jr., who was listed as a POW after his Apache helicopter was forced down March 23. Also among the seven was Chief Warrant Officer David S. Williams, 30, who was in the Apache with Young. Relatives identified the others as four members of the 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company that was ambushed outside of the southern city of Nasiriyah on March 23: Army Spc. Shoshana Johnson, 30, Fort Bliss, Texas, Army Sgt. James Riley, 31, Pennsauken, New Jersey, Army Spc. Joseph Hudson, 23, Alamogordo, New Mexico, and Army Pfc. Patrick Miller, 23, Park City, Kansas. The six had been listed as POWs. The seventh soldier was not immediately identified, and the Pentagon was in the process of notifying families. Riley, Miller, Hudson and Johnson were among five POWs shown on Iraqi television. The fifth was Spc. Edgar Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas. His family couldn't immediately be reached Sunday morning. One of the men found Sunday raised his fist in the air and smiled slightly as he strode from the helicopter at the southern Iraq airbase. Another limped, apparently with an injured right ankle. Some wore blue-and-white striped pajamas, another was in blue shorts. Marines at this base came forward to applaud and pat them on the back. Capt. David Romley said Marines marching north toward Tikrit were met by Iraqi soldiers north of Samarra who approached the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Company, and the seven Americans were with them. ****************************************************************** 11:31:44 SOLDIERS IN KIRKUK 11:36:40 OMAN TV CHANGE TAPE ****************************************************************** 12:01:54 MIDDLE EAST BULLETIN 12:01:59 BAGHDAD WRAP: AFTERNOON'S EVENTS 12:02:09 SOLDIERS LEADING AWAY UNRULEY IRAQI 12:02:21 12:02:21 LARGE GROUP OD IRAQIS MARCHING THROUGH STREETS 12:02:33 IRAQIS RUSH INTO BUILDING, YOU CAN HEAR THE PRAYER CALLS 12:02:46 IRAQIS IN A MOSQUE WITH MAN CHANTING AND THEY REPEAT WHAT HE SAYS 12:03:09 GROUP OD IRAQIS WALKING DOWN STREET 12:03:17 GROUP OF IRAQI WOMEN CRYING AND PLEADING 12:03:26 DAE 12:04:20 IRAQIS TRYING TO FIX POWER LINES 12:04:29 IRAQIS CLEANING UP STREET, SHOVELLING DIRT AND DEBRIS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD ****************************************************************** 12:04:52 US FRANKS 2 12:04:58 FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS: HE COMMENTS ON THE POWS FOUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FSG OF 7 POWS FOUND ****************************************************************** 12:08:20 STILLS OF US SOLDIERS (POWS) BEING RESCUED (MORE THAN ONE, VARIOUS) ****************************************************************** 12:08:53 STILL OF WATBAN: REPORTS THAT SADDAM'S HALF BROTHER HAS BEEN CAPTURE ***************************************************************** 12:09:10 BASRA WRAP ****************************************************************** 12:12:25 TIKRIT ROAD 12:12:39 IRAQI CHECKPOINT 12:12:42 TANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WTH SHEEP ON THE SIDE 12:12:47 BOYS CLIMBING ON TANK STORY: ++Tikrit Road - NEW Checkpoints and burnt out vehicles on the road between Irbil and Tikrit LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369524 DATELINE: Near Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Abandoned tank on the road STORYLINE: The Northern Iraqi road between Irbil and Saddam Hussein's last stronghold Tikrit, was quiet on Sunday despite reports that fighters loyal to Saddam Hussein's regime were still holding out Tikrit. Just forty kilometres (24 miles) out of Tikrit, the road appeared empty except for some abandoned military vehicles and local Iraqis walking along the road. Meanwhile, the US Commander in charge of coalition forces in Iraq said U.S. troops had pushed into Tikrit on Sunday - power center for Iraq's Sunni Muslim tribes that is believed to be one of the last strongholds of fighters loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Along the way, U.S. Marines rescued seven U.S. soldiers who had been captured by Iraqi forces earlier in the war. All were believed to be in good health. Franks said his troops had met no resistance as they entered Tikrit. He wouldn't say that the war was over, rather that "we have American forces in Tikrit right now." He did not indicate whether the forces were in the center or the outskirts of town, and did not say whether it had fallen. Tikrit is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. U.S. officials have played down the prospect of a major battle in Tikrit because of desertions and damage from repeated airstrikes. 12:14:32 END OF BULLETIN ***************************************************************** 12:15:20 SPORTS

Various of protestors waving arms and chanting STORYLINE: A large weapons cache has been uncovered close to the Palestine Hotel, where many western journalists have been staying in Baghdad. The cache was said to have ben pointed out to coalition troops by local people, and the building is understood to have been a regular house used by the Iraqi military. The building has since been looted by locals. It has now been seized by the US military who are expected to bulldoze it, or blow it up. The Iraqi capital remains tense with sporadic fire and heavy military presence around the Palestine Hotel. Meanwhile, the first Catholic mass has been celebrated in Baghdad since the city fell. Up to one hundred people attended the service at the Church of Virgin Mary, Karada, in central Baghdad. Also in central Baghdad, Iraqis met to start rebuilding their city and its infrastructure. A handful of US Marine civil affairs officers had summoned groups of Iraqi water, electrical and police civil servants to the Palestine Hotel, where US forces more or less have set up a base. The hotel was packed with civilians along with members from the old regime who were keen to restore some sense of order and government to Iraq. At an initial briefing, the civilians were told by one of the Iraqi organisers that all the other major cities in the country have been "liberated" and were now looking to Baghdad as to the way forward. But one participant found it difficult to work with those who had belonged to Saddam Hussein's government. The man shouted at police officers who were at the meeting saying "We don't need you...you are full of wrong-doing". Tensions were also high outside the hotel where a group of civilians had gathered. Despite the tensions, Iraqi civil servants at the meeting divided themselves into groups based on their specific skills as the first step in restoring structure to a city, and country, in chaos. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Trade Ministry was in flames as looting continued in pockets of Baghdad - with the people expressing their hatred of all the former symbols of power. Close to the burning building, a US Marine division captured a small group believed to be Saddam's Fedayeen fighters. The PoW's were interrogated by the American soldiers as they sat handcuffed and blindfolded on the ground. Marines also discovered a cache of rifles, rocket propelled grenades and bazookas. ****************************************************************** US FRANKS: FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS STORY: ++US Franks - NEW US supreme Commander Franks on POWs LENGTH: 0:38 FIRST RUN: 1255 RESTRICTIONS: See Script TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369511 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: ABC - Must Courtesy ABC "This Week" No Access North America / Internet 1.

What we don't know right now George is whether these are 6 of the youngsters we had categorised as prisoners, some of whom we've seen on television or whether these are from the category of troops that we had listed missing in action. So we are not sure yet, but we are very happy that we have these 6 Americans back with us now and they are in safe hands." STORYLINE: US Marines have found missing American soldiers on the road between Baghdad and Tikrit and they appear to be healthy, General Tommy Franks said on Sunday. Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the group was among five listed as missing, or seven listed as POWs. Franks originally said six Americans had been found. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at Central Command in Qatar later updated this to seven. Shortly after Brooks spoke to reporters, it was confirmed they were servicemen - and they were safe. ****************************************************************** JERUS PALM SUNDAY: CHRISTIANS GATHER ON MOUNT OF OLIVES TO CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY STORY: ++Jerus Palm Sunday - NEW Christians gather on Mount of Olives to celebrate Palm Sunday LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369512 DATELINE: Jerusalem - 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: Mount of Olives near the Old City, East Jerusalem 1.

Despite the measures, officials reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, bringing the city-state's death toll to 12. Four new cases were reported on Sunday, for a total of 151. Two of the new deaths occurred at Singapore General Hospital, where at least 30 people have contracted SARS, the Health Ministry said. The third was a 90-year-old woman who died 30 March. Doctors originally put the cause of death as pneumonia, but now attribute it to SARS. Many victims around the world have been healthcare workers. Also on Sunday, the luxury cruise liner SuperStar Virgo returned to Singapore after being disinfected off the city-state's coast, said Lim Lily, a spokeswoman for Star Cruises, the ship's owners. Two crew members had been hospitalized for suspected SARS. Lim said 13 quarantined crew, who had come into contact with the two patients, remained isolated on board while the rest of the 1300 crew are staying in another area of the ship. Authorities said new tough measures are necessary to prevent the illness from spreading. Singapore has placed 608 people under home quarantine as of Sunday, and authorities said Web cams will be installed in their homes to ensure they don't leave. SARS has killed at least 133 people and sickened about 3-thousand in at least 20 countries. The illness has no known cure. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, coughing and body aches. ***************************************************************** US LYNCH STORY: ++US Lynch - NEW Medical briefing on Pte Lynch's state LENGTH: 2:31 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: Part No NAmerica/Internet TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: POOL/ABC STORY NUMBER: 369519 DATELINE: 12/13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE, 13 APRIL 2003) POOL - APTN CLIENTS ONLY 1.

"We do not have her visiting other soldiers, or have other soldiers visit her because we are so early into her arrival. We want to make sure she's happy and that she's doing well," said Major General Kevin Kiley, a spokesman from the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre on Sunday. Kiley refused to discuss Lynch's injuries, treatment or any other aspect of her condition because he wanted to protect her privacy. The supply clerk, from Palestine, West Virginia, was captured on March 23 after her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. She was rescued from an Iraqi hospital in the city April 1 by US commandos, reportedly after a tip from an Iraqi lawyer. ****************************************************************** 11:20:48 STILL WATBAN 11:20:56 STILL PHOT OF SADDAM'S BROTHER, REPORTS THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE STORY: ++STILL Watban - NEW Reports that Saddam's half brother Watban has been captured LENGTH: 0:10 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Mute SOURCE: DoD STORY NUMBER: 369522 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1. Still of Watban al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother STORYLINE: A half-brother of Saddam Hussein has been captured in northern Iraq, a Kurdish television station reported Sunday. Watban al-Tikriti, a former interior minister and one of Saddam's advisers, was found northwest of Mosul, according to KTV, a station operated by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, one of the two main Kurdish factions. Watban was attempting to reach Syria, the station said. Mosul itself came under control of Kurdish fighters and US troops on Friday after Iraqi forces gave up without a fight. The station gave no other details. Kurdish officials reached by The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the report. In 1995, Al-Tikriti was wounded in a shooting by Saddam's son, Odai, during a quarrel over family matters. Saddam has other half-brothers, including Barzan al-Tikriti, a former Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland, and Sab'awi Ibrahim al-Hassan al-Tikriti. Their whereabouts is currently not known, though there are unconfirmed reports that Barzan al-Tikriti, was killed on Friday morning, when the US bombed his farm, in the region of Ramadi west of Baghdad. ****************************************************************** 11:21:11 BASRA WRAP 11:21:40 TRAFFIC AND IRAQI SOLDIER ON STREET SIDE 11:21:57 CARS AND TRUCKS DRIVING 11:22:06 UK SOLDIER STANDING 11:22:19 UK : THIS FIRST PATROL, WE NEED TO REVALIDATE THEM, MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC WILLACCEPT THEM 11:22:40 "WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER 11:22:47 SOT (IRAQI): I AM NOW JUST TRYING TO CHECK THE STOLEN CAR 11:23:00 NEWSPAPERS IN BASRA 11:23:01 UK SOLDIER TOSSES NEWSPAPER 11:23:14 CHAOS 11:23:18 SOLDIER STANDING ON TOP OF TANK DISTRIBUTING NEWSPAPERS 11:23:34 UK SOLDIER: FIRST EXAMPLE OF FREE PRESS FOR IRAQ 11:23:49 THIS HAS BEEN WRITTNE BY THE LOCALS, WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR COUNTRY 11:24:06 RUBBLE SHOTS, OF BUILDINGS STORY: +Basra Wrap - WRAP Iraqi policemen work with British troops, new newspaper distributed LENGTH: 3:01 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: English/Nat SOURCE: UK MOD/APTN STORY NUMBER: 369518 DATELINE: 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (FIRST RUN 1500 EUROPE LATE - 13 APRIL 2003) APTN 1.

Mid shot destroyed building in Basra 12. Close shot damage 13. Pan of damaged building STORYLINE: British troops and Iraqi policemen worked together in Basra on Sunday - the first stage in efforts to re-install a local police force in Iraq's second city. The southern city has been the scene of mass looting in recent days after the Iraqi regime was ousted. The policemen, the first patrol in the city since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's rule, took to the streets Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity, in a bid to restore civil order. The men helped British troops check cars and tried to establish which vehicles were stolen. One of the soldiers involved in the project said the aim was to see if the local population would accept the force. "If they don't" he said "we'll have to look at another idea all together." British military officials say that the looting is slowly coming under control in the port city, but that the help of the local community is needed to restore order. Britain's Ministry of Defence said Sunday in a statement it had sent two civilian police officials to Basra, to advise local officials and British troops on establishing order. The defence ministry said in the statement: "These officers will give advice to the British commanders in Basra on how to vet the local Iraqi police and then develop a close relationship with them." Also Sunday, British troops distributed a newspaper to local Iraqis on Sunday that military officials said was written "by Iraqis for Iraqis." Speaking in Basra, Major David Kemmisbetty from the Black Watch Regiment that is patrolling the city, said the newspaper was the first opportunity in many years for Iraqis to receive information not vetted by the Baath party. He said "(this is) the first time they've had a newspaper from outside that hasn't been directed by the Ba'ath party, and hasn't been Saddam's message." He added that most of the content had been written by local Iraqis, but with "a bit of input by the military explaining what we are up to." ****************************************************************** 11:27:56 RILEY FAMILY STATEMENT 11:28:05 REVEREND SOT STORY: ++US POW Family - WRAP Family of POW found safe interviewed LENGTH: 1:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No North America/Internet TYPE: English/ Nat SOURCE: ABC STORY NUMBER: 369517 DATELINE: Pennsauken, NJ, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

And we're going to set up a distribution plan today so we can get water to the people today. Those are number one priorities, and then, as civil affairs, we'll go out and assess other things like medical health needs and just to find out where the weaknesses are so we can start working that and building back." 24. US troops outside building STORYLINE: U.S. forces were consolidating their control over Kirkuk on Sunday, as emergency water supplies began arriving in the vital northern oil city. Outside the city, on the road to Irbil, a US military checkpoint was monitoring traffic. And at the US military base - set up at the city's former airport - water tankers were starting to arrive. Despite getting fresh water however, some locals were clearly unhappy and disillusioned with the American forces. One local man emphasised the need for local municipal services to be re-established, lest the population become the victim of gangs. Meanwhile, in the city, US military chiefs were meeting with local authorities and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) personnel in the first steps towards setting up a new administration. Kurdish fighters who took over the city said they would yield to the Americans once enough of them arrived to secure law and order. US military personnel were unable to substantiate earlier rumours of a discovery of chemical missile warheads in the town. ****************************************************************** 11:30:20 STILLS OF POWS STORY: ++POW Stills - NEW Still images of recovered US POWs LENGTH: 0:42 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: No Canada TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: AP PHOTOS STORY NUMBER: 369527 DATELINE: Nr Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

(AP Photo/Wally Santana) STORYLINE: Iraqi troops released seven captured U.S. soldiers -some wounded but in good condition - to Marines on Sunday, near where U.S. troops were entering Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. Clad in an assortment of pajamas and shorts, the soldiers clambered out of helicopters to a delighted welcome at an air base in southern Iraq, hours after their release. The seven were taken by helicopter to this base near Kut and flown to a military airport south of Kuwait City. Ronald Young Sr. identified one of the Americans in shaky video shown by CNN as his son, Chief Warrant Officer Ronald D. Young Jr., who was listed as a POW after his Apache helicopter was forced down March 23. Also among the seven was Chief Warrant Officer David S. Williams, 30, who was in the Apache with Young. Relatives identified the others as four members of the 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company that was ambushed outside of the southern city of Nasiriyah on March 23: Army Spc. Shoshana Johnson, 30, Fort Bliss, Texas, Army Sgt. James Riley, 31, Pennsauken, New Jersey, Army Spc. Joseph Hudson, 23, Alamogordo, New Mexico, and Army Pfc. Patrick Miller, 23, Park City, Kansas. The six had been listed as POWs. The seventh soldier was not immediately identified, and the Pentagon was in the process of notifying families. Riley, Miller, Hudson and Johnson were among five POWs shown on Iraqi television. The fifth was Spc. Edgar Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas. His family couldn't immediately be reached Sunday morning. One of the men found Sunday raised his fist in the air and smiled slightly as he strode from the helicopter at the southern Iraq airbase. Another limped, apparently with an injured right ankle. Some wore blue-and-white striped pajamas, another was in blue shorts. Marines at this base came forward to applaud and pat them on the back. Capt. David Romley said Marines marching north toward Tikrit were met by Iraqi soldiers north of Samarra who approached the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Company, and the seven Americans were with them. ****************************************************************** 11:31:44 SOLDIERS IN KIRKUK 11:36:40 OMAN TV CHANGE TAPE ****************************************************************** 12:01:54 MIDDLE EAST BULLETIN 12:01:59 BAGHDAD WRAP: AFTERNOON'S EVENTS 12:02:09 SOLDIERS LEADING AWAY UNRULEY IRAQI 12:02:21 12:02:21 LARGE GROUP OD IRAQIS MARCHING THROUGH STREETS 12:02:33 IRAQIS RUSH INTO BUILDING, YOU CAN HEAR THE PRAYER CALLS 12:02:46 IRAQIS IN A MOSQUE WITH MAN CHANTING AND THEY REPEAT WHAT HE SAYS 12:03:09 GROUP OD IRAQIS WALKING DOWN STREET 12:03:17 GROUP OF IRAQI WOMEN CRYING AND PLEADING 12:03:26 DAE 12:04:20 IRAQIS TRYING TO FIX POWER LINES 12:04:29 IRAQIS CLEANING UP STREET, SHOVELLING DIRT AND DEBRIS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD ****************************************************************** 12:04:52 US FRANKS 2 12:04:58 FRANKS INTERVIEW ON FOX NEWS: HE COMMENTS ON THE POWS FOUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FSG OF 7 POWS FOUND ****************************************************************** 12:08:20 STILLS OF US SOLDIERS (POWS) BEING RESCUED (MORE THAN ONE, VARIOUS) ****************************************************************** 12:08:53 STILL OF WATBAN: REPORTS THAT SADDAM'S HALF BROTHER HAS BEEN CAPTURE ***************************************************************** 12:09:10 BASRA WRAP ****************************************************************** 12:12:25 TIKRIT ROAD 12:12:39 IRAQI CHECKPOINT 12:12:42 TANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WTH SHEEP ON THE SIDE 12:12:47 BOYS CLIMBING ON TANK STORY: ++Tikrit Road - NEW Checkpoints and burnt out vehicles on the road between Irbil and Tikrit LENGTH: 2:15 FIRST RUN: 1500 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 369524 DATELINE: Near Tikrit, 13 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Abandoned tank on the road STORYLINE: The Northern Iraqi road between Irbil and Saddam Hussein's last stronghold Tikrit, was quiet on Sunday despite reports that fighters loyal to Saddam Hussein's regime were still holding out Tikrit. Just forty kilometres (24 miles) out of Tikrit, the road appeared empty except for some abandoned military vehicles and local Iraqis walking along the road. Meanwhile, the US Commander in charge of coalition forces in Iraq said U.S. troops had pushed into Tikrit on Sunday - power center for Iraq's Sunni Muslim tribes that is believed to be one of the last strongholds of fighters loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Along the way, U.S. Marines rescued seven U.S. soldiers who had been captured by Iraqi forces earlier in the war. All were believed to be in good health. Franks said his troops had met no resistance as they entered Tikrit. He wouldn't say that the war was over, rather that "we have American forces in Tikrit right now." He did not indicate whether the forces were in the center or the outskirts of town, and did not say whether it had fallen. Tikrit is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. U.S. officials have played down the prospect of a major battle in Tikrit because of desertions and damage from repeated airstrikes. 12:14:32 END OF BULLETIN ***************************************************************** 12:15:20 SPORTS

AP PHOTOS - No Access Canada/ For Broadcast use only - Strictly No Access Online or Mobile Washington, DC - Date unknown 20. STILL of Snow in White House press briefing room STORYLINE Tony Snow, a conservative writer and commentator who cheerfully sparred with reporters in the White House briefing room during a stint as US President George W Bush's press secretary, died Saturday of colon cancer. He was 53. Snow died at 2 a.m. (0600GMT) at Georgetown University Hospital, according to former employer Fox News. Snow, who served as the first host of the television news programme "Fox News Sunday" on the Fox News Channel from 1996 to 2003, would later say that in the Bush administration he was enjoying "the most exciting, intellectually aerobic job I'm ever going to have." Snow was working for Fox News Channel and Fox News Radio when he replaced Scott McClellan as press secretary in May 2006 during a White House shake-up. Unlike McClellan, who came to define caution and bland delivery from the White House podium, Snow was never shy about playing to the cameras. With a quick-from-the-lip repartee, broadcaster's good looks and a relentlessly bright outlook - if not always a command of the facts - he became a popular figure among some, to the delight of his White House bosses. "America has lost a devoted public servant and a man of character," Bush said in a statement from Camp David, where he was spending the weekend. "It was a joy to watch Tony at the podium each day. He brought wit, grace, and a great love of country to his work." He served just 17 months as press secretary, a tenure interrupted by his second bout with cancer. In 2005 doctors had removed his colon and he began six months of chemotherapy. In March 2007 a cancerous growth was removed from his abdominal area and he spent five weeks recuperating before returning to the White House. Snow resigned as Bush's chief spokesman last September, citing not his health but a need to earn more than the 168,000 US dollars a year he was paid in the government post. In April, he joined CNN as a commentator. As press secretary, Snow brought partisan zeal and the skills of a seasoned performer to the task of explaining and defending the president's policies. During daily briefings, he challenged reporters, scolded them and questioned their motives as if he were starring in a TV show broadcast live from the West Wing. Critics suggested that Snow was turning the traditionally informational daily briefing into a personality-driven media event short on facts and long on confrontation. He was the first press secretary, by his own accounting, to travel the country raising money for Republican candidates. Although a star in conservative politics, as a commentator he had not always been on the president's side. He once called Bush "something of an embarrassment" in conservative circles and criticised what he called Bush's "lacklustre" domestic policy. Most of Snow's career in journalism involved expressing his conservative views. Snow was the editorial page editor of The Newport News (Virginia) Daily Press and deputy editorial page editor of The Detroit News before moving to Washington in 1987 to become editorial page editor of the conservative Washington Times. Snow left journalism in 1991 to join the administration of the President George H W Bush as director of speechwriting and deputy assistant to the president for media affairs. He then rejoined the news media to write nationally syndicated columns for The Detroit News and USA Today during much of the Clinton administration. Roger Ailes, chairman of Fox News, called Snow a "renaissance man". Robert Anthony Snow was born June 1, 1955, in Berea, Kentucky, and spent his childhood in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area. Survivors include his wife, Jill Ellen Walker, whom he married in 1987, and three children.
