[0:05] >> On World News Tonight this Saturday,

[0:07] pulling out UN nuclear inspectors will

[0:10] leave North Korea by New Year's Eve. The

[0:12] Bush administration considers its

[0:14] response. Naming names, Baghdad hands

[0:17] over a list of 500 scientists who have

[0:20] worked on weapons of mass destruction.

[0:22] The US hopes they will talk. Cashed out.

[1:21] speaker accused the US of pushing this

[1:24] situation to dangerous levels. And

[1:27] nearly all defended North Korea's right

[1:32] cut off fuel shipments to our country.
