[0:45] >> From ABC. This is World News [music]
[0:49] Sunday. Here's Deborah Roberts.
[0:52] >> Good evening. In the cold reaches of
[0:54] Montana tonight, this Palm Sunday,
[0:57] normally a day of quiet celebration, was
[0:59] overshadowed by the crisis just a few
[1:02] miles away. The armed standoff between
[1:04] federal agents and the group called the
[1:06] Freeman is now a week old. There's still
[1:09] no sign of a breakthrough, but ABC News
[1:11] has learned the two sides are talking to
[1:14] each other. ABC's Carol Lynn is there.
[1:18] The Freeman spent a quiet day on the
[1:20] ranch after a series of family reunions
[1:22] over the weekend. FBI agents had allowed
[1:25] family onto the ranch to help convince
[1:27] their fugitive relatives to surrender.
[1:30] One relative who spent the day with the
[1:32] Freeman says the fugitives are
[1:34] negotiating almost daily with the FBI
[1:36] and making specific demands. One demand
[1:39] that only federal authorities handle
[1:41] their criminal cases and the freemen
[1:43] insist on determining how those cases
[1:45] are to be tried.
