00:00... and a multiple aircraft attack
00:03and the next one though is one of...
00:08here you are, you've got a camera in the nose of a weapon
00:10it is probably either an American rocket powered bomb, AGM-130
00:15or just a glide bomb, it's basically a bomb with wings
00:18and the navigator basically can guide it in with a joystick
00:22and there you are
00:23You can see extraordinary detail there, can't you?
00:25Yes, and we first saw this during the Gulf War
00:27and it's the missiles where basically you can select the window to fly it through
00:32here we have a bridge and in the Pentagon press conference
00:35which is still underway at the moment
00:37they have said they are going to target bridges
00:39cut Kosovo off from the rest of Yugoslavia
00:42to hamper the operation and hamper reinforcements and supplies going in
00:46and there you are, that's just before it cut out
00:49so we're looking now at Serb TV
00:53we think, oh, that looks like a bridge going
00:57yes, so there you are, you have wonderful confirmation from the Serbian TV
01:02that both sides of the argument, as it were
01:05now from all sides, now the...
01:06they will hear any threat before they see it
01:09probably the one sound I wouldn't want to hear is a torpedo in the water
01:12that would be...
01:13that would be very frightening
01:18three decks below, as orders come in, they begin the process of loading cruise missiles
01:23on a surface ship, the Tomahawk missile is usually loaded into the deck launcher in port
01:28and never seen again until it's eventually fired
01:31that's not the case on a submarine
01:34as they watch and wait, torpedo men think back to the first launch
01:38that now seems so long ago
01:41we just want the missiles to do what they're supposed to do
01:44we do all our efforts and do all our maintenance and everything
01:47to make sure our system works
01:49so, now they're in the hands of the missile
01:51Captain, sir, firing order verifies you
01:54the launch is captured by the sub's periscope camera
01:59even in black and white, it is fearsome
02:02the missile's rocket booster ignites below the sea
02:08before blinding the camera as it breaks the surface
02:11the whole process, from battle stations to stand down
02:16has taken just 18 minutes
02:18well done, professionally executed, carry on
02:21there is no celebration, just the satisfaction
02:24that what they once trained to do
02:27is now what they do
02:29well
02:30kosovo
02:37according to nato
02:38throughout the holiday weekend
02:40american b-52 and b-1b bombers
02:43will continue to pound serb targets from their base in gloucestershire
02:47kosovo can't be reached without big losses
02:53and it will be even harder to occupy
02:55and remain there without big losses
02:58whoever the enemy is
02:59we don't want american, english, french and german troops to die in kosovo and leave their bones there
03:06but airstrikes alone have failed to prevent the ethnic cleansing
03:10the kosovan capital pristina is said to be like a ghost town
03:14and the use of ground troops in kosovo may yet have to be contemplated by allied commanders

04:55Israel, Italy, France and the UK are among the countries sending aid.
05:02There will be more relief flights in the next week,
05:04though some governments in this crisis-hit region
05:06are urging the international community to fly refugees out
05:10to ease their burden.
05:11Helen Wright, ITN.
05:14Even as they prepared for further combat missions tonight,
05:17the frustration for NATO pilots is growing.
05:21Thick and low cloud over Kosovo is still hampering their bombing raids.
05:25But America's highly capable all-weather B-1 bomber
05:28has arrived at an RAF base
05:30and is already making its first bombing runs over Yugoslavia.
05:33NATO is also taking comfort from the fact
05:35that Milosevic and his forces are critically short of fuel.
05:39Last night's attacks therefore continue to focus upon his fuel supplies,
05:44especially in the Kosovo region.
05:46And this will further inhibit the ability of his forces
05:50to repress the Kosovar Albanians.
05:53The West is deploying ever greater military resources to the Balkans.
05:57And when the weather finally clears,
05:59Served forces can expect an overwhelming NATO air assault.
06:04Complicating that military picture,
06:06Russia today dispatched its first naval vessel to the Adriatic,
06:09a reconnaissance ship designed to monitor the war.
06:13And in Belgrade, Russian MPs were meeting President Milosevic,
06:17although there's no sign of a fresh diplomatic initiative underway.
06:19At the same time, the Yugoslav leadership has declared
06:23it's ready to hand over to Moscow the wreckage
06:26of America's top-secret stealth fighter.
06:28Indeed, reports from Moscow tonight say that key parts of the aircraft
06:32that crashed six days ago have already been flown to Russia for analysis.
06:36Robert Moore, ITN.
06:37Earlier today, they said, A, the new Harrier force was fully operational,
06:41the reinforcements, and the tornadoes based in RAF Bruggen in Germany,
06:46the quote is, are ready for action,
06:49which might suggest tonight will be their first mission.
06:51Whether they end up being based in Italy or fly their missions from Germany,
06:54we don't yet know.
06:56But they are hoping to use their good, low-level, bad-weather capabilities
07:00to come in under the cloud,
07:02cloud which should change within the next 48 hours.
07:05Last night, its first mission in this particular campaign,
07:09first saw active service in Operation Desert Fox,
07:12seems to have used satellite-guided bombs to attack targets.
07:17They said it attacked a staging area, a large staging area in Kosovo
07:21for armoured forces,
07:23and the class ones have said it's very accurate,
07:26it hit its target, but we can't confirm it.
07:28Do you know one thing that's not mentioned?
07:29or cruise missile ships.
07:32Critics say air power alone won't work,
07:34but Mr. Clinton shows no sign of changing course.
07:37This air campaign has been much more rapid in getting up and getting underway
07:42than any sort of ground operation could be.
07:46The president was briefed on U.S. government
07:47and private humanitarian relief efforts,
07:50and those on hand echoed the White House in saying Serb troops,
07:53not the NATO airstrikes, are to blame for the crisis.
07:56This is depopulation and the only thing similar to it in recent history
08:00is Stalin's social engineering in the 30s.
08:03U.S. and NATO troops will take a larger role in the relief efforts in Albania and Macedonia.
08:08Giant C-5 transports at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware
08:11were being loaded with more than a half million meals
08:14and other supplies for delivery to Albania.
08:16Here the takeoff and the patrol provide cover to NATO ships in the Adriatic.
08:22Also there are aircraft that do patrols over Bosnia for the peacekeeping force there.
08:27So, of course, this air base is not exclusively for strikes against Yugoslavia.
08:33Matter of fact, it's very difficult for us here to find out exactly
08:37what each individual mission is going off to do because of the level of secrecy here.
08:42Not confirming the specific targets that were hit,
08:45but confirming that, yes, for the first time downtown Baghdad was targeted.
08:50In the words of one official here, these were very high-profile targets,
08:54at least in the next 24 hours in downtown Belgrade.
08:57Joey?
08:58All right, Jim, and to our viewers, you just there saw some protesters
09:01on a bridge in Belgrade protesting the recent events
09:06and certainly the NATO strike coming so close to them in the interior ministry
09:11in old Belgrade at this hour.
09:13There's apparently pictures from earlier in the day's events, protests,
09:17and you see many of the people wearing the target signals
09:20trying to tell NATO what they think of these strike operations.
09:25Those are pictures from Serbian TV.
09:27We'll take...
09:27As a result of cruise missiles fired from U.S. ships in the Adriatic,
09:32seven cruise missiles from two U.S. warships
09:34fired at this complex of buildings in downtown Belgrade.
09:38We had an earlier report that the British submarine HMS Splendid
09:42also fired a cruise missile.
09:44Now it appears that may not have happened.
09:46That might have been in the plan,
09:47but that missile might not have gone off from the submarine.
09:49But at least seven cruise missiles did hit the target,
09:54which the Pentagon says the next couple of days,
09:56and the expectation is at that point
09:58the pace of these NATO airstrikes will increase accordingly.
10:01Loading weapons onto B-1 bombers at the airbase.
10:04Last night, the U.S. Air Force flew in a further 100 support personnel
10:08to help maintain the five B-1s and eight B-52 bombers
10:11taking part in the strikes.
10:15And sources say NATO is about to add
10:17to the U.S. aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt to its arsenal,
10:21along with three more cruise missile firing ships and a submarine.
10:24Jamie McIntyre, CNN, the Pentagon.
10:28Helicopters, there have been requests for them to be brought to the region.
10:32The United States government says it still has...
10:33...keel up to be a stealth ship.
10:36There's no such thing as an invisible ship,
10:39but we can work within the laws of physics to try and help ourselves out.
10:44You'll notice, looking at the top side of the ship,
10:46that everything tends to be very angular.
10:49Employing the same technology the Air Force uses
10:51to make its stealth fighters and bombers hard to spot on radar,
10:55the U.S. Navy worked to do the same
10:57with its new Arleigh Burke class of destroyers.
10:59All 9,000 tons of them.
11:02Almost every part of the ship's superstructure
11:04is angled in some way to reflect away
11:07rather than return an enemy's radar signal.
11:09It's the return that gives a ship away.
11:12The stealthy design goes down right to some of the smallest of details.
11:16The lifelines, for example, on an older vessel would be one-inch poles.
11:20Here, there's steel cable covered with rubber.
11:24Stanchions set at an angle in the deck and diamond shape.
11:28Items on the ship's exterior that can't be reshaped
11:31are instead covered with a special rubber coating
11:33that absorbs radar energy.
11:35That even includes the ship's gong.
11:38But it's not just a ship's shape that can give it away.
11:42So can heat, especially from its engines.
11:44What we want to do is reduce the infrared signature
11:46that's put off by the ship's exhaust system.
11:49We have the boundary layer infrared suppression system,
11:52which brings air from outside the ship into the exhaust system,
11:56mixes it in with the exhaust,
11:58reduces the temperature,
11:59and it reduces the ability of a heat-seeking missile.
12:02The Gonzales also has a special system
12:04that uses air bubbles to greatly cut back the destroyer's noise
12:08as it passes through the ocean,
12:10making it tough to find with sonar.
12:13The end result,
12:14in war games in which the Gonzales had to penetrate enemy defenses
12:17to strike a prime target,
12:19the destroyer has a perfect record of kills.
12:22We have completed two different exercises
12:25as we work through what we call
12:27the inter-deployment training cycle.
12:29And the ship, during those exercises,
12:32was able to, as an opposing force,
12:35go against the opposite force
12:37and sneak up on them, basically, undetected.
12:41Aboard the USS Guided Missile Destroyer Gonzales,
12:44when it comes to possible detection by a hostile force,
12:48out of sight and out of mind
12:49is the best policy.
12:52Martin Savage, CNN,
12:54aboard the USS Gonzales in the Adriatic.
12:57Troops to Kosovo within a matter of days.
13:00A special unit in North Carolina
13:02is on permanent alert for such tasks.
13:05Tens of thousands of troops could later join them,
13:08but that would take several weeks
13:09and might mean years of fighting in the Balkans.
13:13President Clinton is reluctant
13:14to take the irreversible step
13:16of putting troops on the ground in Kosovo.
13:18He's aware...
13:19No, but certainly on the film footage we saw,
13:21and this is of the B-1Bs being loaded.
13:24The bombs they're loading there
13:25look as if they are one of the US Air Force's
13:28more modern systems called the JDAM,
13:30the Joint Direct Attack Munition,
13:32which is basically a standard iron bomb,
13:35a dumb bomb,
13:36but it has a GPS,
13:38global positioning satellite system,
13:40fixed onto it,
13:42and that gives it much greater accuracy
13:44and it steers down to the target.
13:46A few other pictures of the bombs being loaded on there
13:48look as if they're actually just absolutely standard bombs
13:52with no guidance,
13:54and there you have a huge rack of them.
13:55B-1 can carry up to 82,500-pound bombs,
14:00which they would...
14:02If they're using those sort of dumb munitions,
14:04they will bomb with radar and GPS
14:06to make sure the plane knows where it is.
14:09I suspect the feeling in terms of bombing Kosovo now
14:11is so many areas have been cleared of Kosovar Albanians.
14:15Quite frankly, if you do bomb down there,
14:17practically the only people you're going to hit
14:18are going to be Serb security police
14:20and the Yugoslav army.
14:23And I think there's a certain element of saying
14:25in the following areas,
14:26don't worry, there are no friendlies there.
14:28There are only basically enemies.
14:31Now, I stress that it was a very serious problem
14:36and has got very, very much more serious
14:38over the past 24 hours.
14:40Let's just start up here on the Montenegro border.
14:43You're all aware that there are problems in Montenegro
14:46and this is impeding the movement of refugees
14:49through the Sandrak.
14:50and onwards.
14:52Moving down now onto the Albanian border,
14:55this little pass up here, the Kaffa Prugit,
14:57which I pointed out yesterday,
14:59has seen another 10,000 people cross.
15:03Further south at Marina,
15:04here in the Drin Valley,
15:0825,000 people crossed yesterday.
15:11Speaking to the OSCE offices in Tirana this morning,
15:16they estimate that since the 24th of March,
15:19over 165,000 people have moved into Albania.
15:26Moving now down to the more familiar Jankovic crossing point
15:31north of Skopje,
15:34there are about 25,000 people waiting to cross in this area.
15:39Backing up the road to Yerosovac and north to Pristina,
15:44there are another 200,000 people.
15:47in effect.
15:54Thank you.
16:05Take care.
