[0:04] On World News Tonight this Wednesday, an
[0:06] agreement to end the war. NATO forces
[0:08] are about to enter Kosovo. In the
[0:10] Congress, the gun control debate
[0:12] suddenly gets very agitated. The NRA is
[0:15] accused of virtually writing
[0:16] legislation.
[0:19] And our closer look at mental health,
[0:22] the difference between what people need
[0:24] and what HMOs will pay for.
[0:30] From ABC News, this is World News
[0:34] Tonight with Peter Jennings, reporting
[0:36] tonight from Macedonia.
[0:38] Good evening. They finally made a deal,
[0:41] but it was a struggle here in Macedonia
[0:43] today as NATO and the Yugoslav military
[0:45] commanders try to get closure on a plan
[0:48] that will now actually end this phase of
[0:50] the crisis over Kosovo. They had on
[0:53] again, offagain talks all day. NATO had
[0:56] no intention of making the final hours
[0:58] any easier. NATO is determined that when
[1:00] its troops go into Kosovo, which they
[1:02] will do very shortly now, NATO will have
[1:05] the legal support of the international
[1:07] community, even though Kosovo will still
[1:10] be a legal part of Yugoslavia. Our first
[1:13] report is from ABC's Jim Wooten. It was
[1:16] the middle of the evening when General
[1:18] Sir Michael Jackson strode from the tent
[1:20] to tell the world that after a very
[1:22] difficult day and exactly 11 weeks of
[1:25] bombing, NATO had prevailed.
[1:27] >> I have some very good news.
[1:29] >> The Serbs had finally signed, agreed at
[1:32] last to pull their troops out of Kosovo.
[1:34] The fact that this docu document has now
[1:36] been agreved
[1:38] represents the hope of a better future
[1:42] in which we can rebuild Kosovo and
[1:45] restore some normality to the lives of
[1:48] its ordinary citizens regardless of
[1:51] their ethnic background.
[1:53] >> And yet the Serbs, as everyone expected,
[1:55] managed to claim their own victory.
[1:57] >> We are the moral winners. Thank you very
[2:00] much. We are the moral winners, said the
[2:02] ranking Serb civilian and serve general
[2:05] said, just as President Mallosvich had
[2:07] demanded all along. The troops that now
[2:09] deploy in Kosovo will be under UN
[2:12] supervision, not NATO. Not true. They
[2:15] will be under direct NATO command with a
[2:18] UN resolution merely authorizing their
[2:20] presence in Kosovo. That was the last
[2:23] snag between the Serbs and their
[2:25] signature. NATO held firm and they gave
[2:28] in. General Jackson said NATO reserves
[2:30] the right to bomb again if the Serbs
[2:32] don't keep their word, but after 77
[2:35] days, it looks as though it's finally
[2:37] over. Jim Wooten, ABC News, Kumanovo,
[2:40] Macedonia.
[2:42] This is John McQuey at the Pentagon.
[2:45] Additional US troops are already moving
[2:47] into position, but Pentagon officials
[2:49] say it could still be several days
[2:52] before any NATO peacekeepers actually
[2:54] roll into Kosovo to begin their work. In
[2:57] Kosovo itself, Yugoslav troops have
[3:00] begun early preparations for a
[3:02] withdrawal, bringing in heavy trucks
[3:04] photographed from the air by NATO that
[3:07] would be used to transport tanks out of
[3:09] the area. By morning, US officials
[3:12] expect the first large movement of
[3:14] Yugoslav forces from the northern part
[3:16] of Kosovo. To show good faith, they must
[3:19] be substantially out of this zone in one
[3:22] day, at which point NATO could stop the
[3:25] bombing. Yugoslav troops near the
[3:27] borders of Albania and Macedonia must be
[3:30] out in 5 days with the full withdrawal
[3:33] taking longer.
[3:34] >> At the end of 11 days after the entry
[3:36] into force of this agreement, within
[3:38] that 11-day time frame, all Serb forces,
[3:41] paramilitary forces, police have to be
[3:43] removed.
[3:44] >> They were given 4 days longer than NATO
[3:46] originally demanded. Yugoslav generals
[3:49] argued they simply could not do it
[3:51] faster because of bombed out roads and
[3:54] lack of fuel. John McQuey, ABC News. The
[3:57] Pentagon.
[3:58] >> In Yugoslavia today, there is enormous
[4:01] political tension created first by the
[4:03] defeat in Kosovo and then by the
[4:06] widespread destruction which so many
[4:08] people think is an utter waste. ABC's
[4:10] Bob Woodruff reports from Belgrade
[4:12] tonight that people are struggling now
[4:14] to get beyond the war.
[4:17] >> From his apartment in Belgrade, Milan
[4:19] Sartzovich has spent his nights
[4:21] videotaping this war. The nightly
[4:23] anti-aircraft fire. His wife and
[4:25] daughter huddling in the dark. A missile
[4:27] hitting their neighborhood. Watch the
[4:29] streak of light coming from the right.
[4:36] >> It just came like this. Hit there and
[4:38] then I ran into the house.
[4:39] >> Sartzovich was a successful food
[4:41] importer, a business he now plans to
[4:44] rebuild.
[4:45] >> Oh, we we'll try to get our lives
[4:49] together again. uh to live like all nor
[4:52] all normal people in the world live.
[4:53] >> Many others say they have given up on
[4:55] Yugoslavia. A lawyer now jobless, a
[4:58] mechanical engineer tending bar. There
[5:00] is no good work here. They say no
[5:02] future. They want to leave the country.
[5:05] >> If I get uh opportunity to go, I I will
[5:08] go.
[5:09] >> Leaving now is impossible. As long as
[5:11] Yugoslavia is under martial law, every
[5:14] man 18 to 60 years old is required to
[5:17] stay just in case the army needs them.
[5:20] Then again, if this war is truly ending,
[5:22] martial law could soon be lifted. Travel
[5:25] agents say if that happens, they expect
[5:27] to be flooded with thousands of visa
[5:29] applications. 2 and 1/2 months ago,
[5:32] proud and defiant, the Serbs were
[5:34] talking about dying for their country.
[5:36] Now nearly defeated, many are talking
[5:38] about leaving it. Bob Woodruff, ABC
[5:41] News, Belgrade.
[5:43] Later in the broadcast, the refugee
[5:46] hysteria, as one official called it, to
[5:48] get out of the Balkans altogether. But
[5:51] first, Kevin Newman, who's in New York,
[5:53] has some of the day's other news. Kevin
[5:55] and Peter, we're going to take a short
[5:56] break, but when we return, catching
[5:58] illegal gun sales on camera. Is Congress
[6:02] working to tighten loopholes or make
[6:04] them wider? And treating mental illness.
[6:07] Are too many pills being prescribed to
[6:09] save HMOs money?
[6:13] This is World News Tonight with Peter
[6:16] Jennings, brought to you by Kelloggs.
[6:49] Tickle your senses.
[6:52] With days in hotels in over 1,800 cities
[6:54] and towns, there's bound to be one where
[6:57] you're headed.
[7:00] You can pretty much bet on it. Days in.
[7:04] There you go.
[7:06] Joseph.
[7:07] >> Yes, Papa.
[7:08] >> There is an enemy that threatens all
[7:10] weeds. It is the spray.
[7:12] >> So, we'll bribe it.
[7:14] >> The spray does not respond to bribes.
[7:16] >> What's the world coming to?
[7:18] >> Roundup. No root, no weed, no problem.
[7:48] Chevy Tahoe like a rock. Does tossing
[7:52] one of these into your tank kill germs?
[7:54] Well, here's one way to be sure. Lysol
[7:57] continuous action automatic toilet
[7:59] cleaner. It not only cleans, it kills
[8:02] germs. No other automatic toilet cleaner
[8:04] kills more. You have our word on it.
[8:07] >> Nobody does it like you.
[8:08] >> She deserves a carpet that's deep down
[8:10] clean. And only Hoover gives you wind
[8:13] tunnel technology. Power to pick up more
[8:15] dirt than any other clean air upright.
[8:19] >> Deep down you want Hoover.
[8:23] >> In Washington today, an accusation from
[8:25] President Clinton of arm twisting of the
[8:28] highest order. As members of the House
[8:30] wrestle with a new gun control bill, the
[8:32] president charged House Republicans with
[8:34] taking orders from the gun lobby. Here's
[8:36] ABC's Linda Douglas.
[8:39] >> Democrats charged that the Republican
[8:41] gun control legislation is riddled with
[8:43] loopholes crafted by the National Rifle
[8:45] Association.
[8:46] >> It is a bill plainly ghostritten by the
[8:50] NRA.
[8:52] I think it is wrong to let the NRA call
[8:54] the shots on this issue. One NRA
[8:56] official told ABC News 90% of the
[8:59] measure was quote our stuff. The House
[9:02] proposal would weaken some of the
[9:03] restrictions on gun shows passed by the
[9:05] Senate just two weeks ago. For example,
[9:08] the Senate bill required background
[9:10] checks for sales at gun shows where 50
[9:12] or more guns are for sale. The House
[9:14] would require such checks only on shows
[9:17] with 10 or more vendors, no matter how
[9:19] many guns are for sale. The GOP sponsor
[9:22] of the measure insists he was just
[9:24] trying to make it palatable to proun
[9:26] Republicans
[9:27] >> because the NRA was not deeply involved.
[9:30] It wasn't slightly involved. It wasn't
[9:32] involved.
[9:33] >> What you're seeing on the House side is
[9:35] bipartisan
[9:37] rejection of what the Senate passed.
[9:39] >> Since the Senate passed its gun measure,
[9:41] the NRA has had a chance to marshall its
[9:44] forces. It has sent letters to its 2.8 8
[9:46] million members warning of the
[9:48] cradletograve massive federal regulatory
[9:51] scheme and urging them to call their
[9:53] congressman.
[9:54] >> I'll pass that along to the congressman.
[9:56] >> Some key targets are Democrats like
[9:58] Michigan's Bart Stupac.
[9:59] >> I think in the last couple days we're up
[10:01] to right around 400 calls.
[10:03] >> Gun control groups are also turning up
[10:05] the heat, lobbying their Democratic
[10:07] allies. But party lines are blurred in
[10:10] the House. Some Democrats will fight for
[10:12] gun owners rights. Some Republicans want
[10:14] more gun control. One Republican aid
[10:16] told ABC News tonight, "It will be a
[10:18] miracle if anything passes." Linda
[10:21] Douglas, ABC News, Capitol Hill.
[10:23] >> Whatever law Congress passes, enforcing
[10:25] it is, of course, another matter.
[10:27] Authorities in Michigan demonstrated
[10:28] that recently with a sting operation.
[10:31] Take a look at what happened when two
[10:33] investigators, one posing as a felon,
[10:35] the other as his friend, tried to buy a
[10:37] gun. Of course, selling it to a felon is
[10:39] illegal.
[10:44] Okay.
[10:49] >> When the manager comes over to check
[10:50] this, it's your gun. You're not
[10:52] purchasing it for him. It's your gun.
[10:54] >> Oh, okay. Cuz the manager has to
[10:56] >> Yeah. It's This is called a straw
[10:58] purchase. It's highly illegal.
[11:00] >> Oh,
[11:01] >> yeah. ATF. I don't know why it's just
[11:04] they consider it highly illegal.
[11:13] There you go, guys. Enjoy it.
[11:19] >> Prosecutors say out of 10 dealers
[11:21] investigated, nine allowed the illegal
[11:24] purchases and all 37 guns. Back on
[11:27] Capitol Hill, a standoff today between
[11:29] the White House and one conservative
[11:31] Republican senator. It is a
[11:33] confrontation that could have big
[11:34] repercussions for President Clinton's
[11:36] nominations. And it is all because Mr.
[11:38] Clinton named a gay man to be ambassador
[11:40] to Luxembourg without Senate
[11:43] confirmation. ABC's John Cochran has
[11:45] more.
[11:47] >> For 2 years, the Senate refused to
[11:49] consider the nomination of James Hormel,
[11:51] who was homosexual, to be ambassador to
[11:53] the tiny European nation of Luxembourg.
[11:55] President Clinton got fed up and made
[11:57] the appointment anyway. When Congress is
[11:59] on recess, as it was over the Memorial
[12:01] Day holiday, the president can legally
[12:04] make such appointments. But an angry
[12:06] Republican, James Inhof, now vows to
[12:08] block all other nominations
[12:09] indefinitely, including Richard
[12:11] Hullbrook for ambassador to the UN and
[12:13] Larry Summers for Treasury Secretary.
[12:16] >> Would you actually hold up the
[12:17] nominations of people like the Secretary
[12:19] of the Treasury, the ambassador to the
[12:20] United Nations?
[12:21] >> Yes.
[12:22] >> Wouldn't you worry about the the impact
[12:24] on the nation's?
[12:24] >> No, because the role is not my court.
[12:26] >> Inhov says he objects to Hormell because
[12:28] he would advance a gay agenda. I think
[12:31] anyone who takes his own agenda into an
[12:33] ambassadorship instead of America's
[12:35] agenda is wrong.
[12:36] >> The White House denies that Hormell
[12:38] would do that and says the senator's
[12:40] objection is not about what Hormel would
[12:42] do, but what he is
[12:44] >> because he's gay. The president thinks
[12:46] that's wrong and discriminatory.
[12:48] >> Senator Inhof will try to stop other
[12:50] nominations unless the president
[12:52] promises in writing not to make any more
[12:55] recess appointments, but the senator
[12:57] conceds he cannot stop Hormemell's
[12:59] appointment. He will become America's
[13:01] first openly gay ambassador. John
[13:04] Cochran, ABC News, Washington.
[13:06] >> On the money tonight, with the
[13:07] unemployment rate at a 30-year low, many
[13:10] employers say they just can't find
[13:11] enough workers. Enter the teenagers. As
[13:14] ABC's Lisa Salters reports, summer jobs
[13:16] for young people have never been this
[13:18] good.
[13:20] >> Last year, 17-year-old Jed Smith was
[13:23] making minimum wage behind the cash
[13:25] register at a fast food restaurant. This
[13:27] summer he's earning850 an hour preparing
[13:30] investment presentations for Charles
[13:32] Schwab.
[13:33] >> I would never think I would ever be
[13:34] working for a big corporation like this.
[13:36] >> Schwab has hired 350 high school
[13:39] students to fill essential job openings
[13:41] this summer. 70% more teenagers than
[13:44] last year.
[13:45] >> They go to staffing meetings. They go to
[13:47] strategy meetings. So it's it's truly
[13:48] involving them in the process, not just
[13:50] giving them a menial job. Because of the
[13:52] tight labor market, other companies will
[13:55] also be relying on student workers over
[13:57] the next few months, making it difficult
[13:59] for traditional summer employers like
[14:01] fast food restaurants to compete.
[14:04] >> Nothing wrong working at Burger King,
[14:05] but that's not what I want to do for the
[14:06] rest of my life.
[14:07] >> Instead, students are being heavily
[14:09] recruited for much more attractive
[14:11] positions. Most of these teenagers in a
[14:14] high school law class will be working in
[14:16] law offices this summer. Other students
[14:19] will be putting their computer training
[14:20] to use.
[14:21] >> This summer, I'll be working with a
[14:22] high-tech uh company.
[14:24] >> According to labor statistics, more than
[14:26] 8 million teenagers will join the
[14:28] workforce this summer. That number is
[14:30] only slightly higher than last year. But
[14:32] what has changed dramatically is that in
[14:34] many parts of the country, students
[14:36] don't have to go searching for work. The
[14:38] work is searching for them.
[14:41] >> Summer jobs. The demand for workers is
[14:43] so great that many employers are holding
[14:46] job fairs at high schools and they are
[14:49] wooing students with grown-up salaries.
[14:51] >> $6 to $8 an hour, some of them go up to
[14:54] $10 an hour.
[14:55] >> Not bad for a 17year-old.
[14:58] Lisa Salters, ABC News, San Francisco.
[15:02] >> Checking stocks on Wall Street today,
[15:04] the Dow Jones Industrial Average was
[15:05] down more than 75 points to close at
[15:08] 10,690.
[15:09] But on the NASDAQ, stocks were up 44
[15:12] points. In Texas today, former President
[15:16] George Bush took the plunge again just
[15:18] days before his 75th birthday. Mr. Bush
[15:21] jumped from more than 12,000 ft, landing
[15:24] on the lawn of his presidential library.
[15:27] >> He said he'd like to try it again at 80
[15:29] if, quote, Barbara Let me
[15:32] in a moment. Going beyond pills to treat
[15:34] mental illness if you can afford it.
[15:37] We'll take a closer look.
[15:44] Introducing Benol. My doctor said I need
[15:47] to watch my cholesterol, but it's hard.
[15:48] >> Now there's new hope for millions of
[15:50] people concerned about their
[15:51] cholesterol. Benol, it's a completely
[15:54] new kind of product used in place of
[15:56] butter or margarine. Studies show that
[15:58] benacol actually helps promote healthy
[16:00] cholesterol levels. It really tastes
[16:02] good and it's good for my cholesterol.
[16:05] >> I'd use it.
[16:06] >> Benol isn't just low in cholesterol. It
[16:08] actually promotes healthy cholesterol
[16:10] levels.
[16:11] >> New Benol now available.
[16:14] Nancy will have to see from near to far
[16:16] almost a thousand times today. Her eyes
[16:19] will focus on 40 labels, 60 charts, and
[16:22] 100 smiles. And in all that time, she'll
[16:24] never once think about the science that
[16:26] allows her to focus instantly at all
[16:28] distances. Nancy just knows that her
[16:31] Verilux lenses help her see better. And
[16:33] for her, that's a very comforting
[16:35] thought. Verilux, the comfort of better
[16:38] vision. For more information, call
[16:40] toll-free 1 800 Verilux.
[16:45] Summer time to get busy with Red
[16:48] Lobster's 30 shrimp dinner for $9.99.
[16:53] >> Two choices, 30 shrimp, $9.99.
[16:57] >> Escape to Red Lobster.
[17:00] It's barbecue season, the busiest time
[17:02] of the year for your deck. Which is why
[17:04] you should protect it with Thompson's
[17:05] Wood Protector. Nothing we make works
[17:07] harder, longer for rain, sun, mildew, or
[17:10] lowflying meat. Thompson's Wood
[17:12] Protector. It never takes a day off.
[17:15] >> I'm 64. Is there anything I can do to
[17:17] stop bone loss?
[17:18] >> Absolutely. Here's proof. In a landmark
[17:21] clinical study, CalRate actually stopped
[17:23] bone loss in women at risk for
[17:24] osteoporosis. Whatever your age,
[17:27] >> it's never too late for Cal Trait.
[17:30] >> There are those among us with very
[17:32] simple tastes. They only want the best.
[17:36] And for them, there's Fancy Feast
[17:37] gourmet cat food. Exceptionally moist
[17:40] and delicious. Fancy Feast. Good taste
[17:42] is easy to recognize.
[17:48] This week, we've been looking at the
[17:49] nation's state of mind, mental health in
[17:52] America. One out of five Americans
[17:55] suffers from some form of mental illness
[17:57] every year. But according to the
[17:59] National Institute of Mental Health, up
[18:01] to 90% of these people could improve or
[18:04] recover completely if they get the right
[18:06] treatment. And there is a wide range of
[18:08] medications and therapies available.
[18:09] Now, tonight we are going to take a
[18:11] closer look at the issue of the right
[18:14] treatment. What patients need and what
[18:16] HMOs are willing to pay for are often
[18:18] two completely different things. Here's
[18:21] ABC's Jane Cle.
[18:24] >> They may be easier, quicker, cheaper,
[18:26] but pills are not always better when
[18:28] treating mental illness. Rona Fishman
[18:32] believes it. After a violent attack
[18:34] triggered memories of an abusive
[18:35] childhood, she was afraid to leave her
[18:38] home. Fishman was finally starting to
[18:40] heal in her second year of psychotherapy
[18:42] when her HMO stopped her treatment. They
[18:45] offered an anti-depressant instead.
[18:48] >> It felt like dismissal. It felt like,
[18:51] okay, we'll give Rona a pill. She'll be
[18:53] happy. She'll be de-stressed, and she
[18:56] won't bug her family physician, and we
[18:58] won't have to pay for her therapy. This
[19:00] woman's HMO preferred to pay for a
[19:02] halfozen tranquilizers and
[19:04] anti-depressants rather than full-time
[19:06] therapy for her post-traumatic stress
[19:08] disorder. So, she paid for therapy
[19:10] herself, spending a substantial part of
[19:13] her income. about 20% over $2,000
[19:19] is either that or
[19:21] just go crazy.
[19:23] >> Psychologist Paul Ling claims that
[19:25] nearly 60% of his patients have to pay
[19:28] for therapy out of their own pockets
[19:30] because their HMOs will only pay for
[19:32] pills.
[19:33] >> It's essentially not a scientific
[19:35] decision, but an economic one. It's a
[19:38] lot cheaper to give people pills than to
[19:40] allow them to participate in an ongoing
[19:43] psychotherapy.
[19:44] >> But pills are not always more effective.
[19:46] In fact, study after study has shown for
[19:49] some disorders, therapy is just as
[19:51] effective as medication. For others,
[19:53] therapy is actually more effective. And
[19:56] in some cases, the combination of pills
[19:58] and therapy gets the best result.
[20:00] >> These psychological interventions can
[20:02] actually change the way the brain
[20:04] functions. and that's how they have
[20:06] their therapeutic uh effect.
[20:08] >> But HMO policies have not caught up with
[20:11] science. In the past 10 years, cutting
[20:13] therapy has helped cut the average cost
[20:15] of HMO mental health spending by more
[20:17] than 50%.
[20:19] Which means patients must spend their
[20:21] own money if they or their doctors
[20:23] believe therapy is the better choice. 6
[20:26] years and $30,000 later, Rona Fishman
[20:29] says psychotherapy has made her not just
[20:31] mentally, but physically healthier.
[20:34] headaches and insomnia and night sweats
[20:36] and fevers of unknown origin and
[20:38] dizziness and
[20:42] I don't have that kind of problem
[20:44] anymore and no need for any kind of
[20:46] pill. That is real savings. Jane
[20:50] Clayson, ABC News, Los Angeles.
[20:54] >> Overall, Americans spend about $55
[20:56] billion every year on therapy and
[20:59] medication. That's all we have from here
[21:01] for now. Let's return to Peter Jennings
[21:03] now with more from Macedonia.
[21:05] >> Well, when we come back, when refugees
[21:08] are one day closer to going home, why do
[21:11] they want to go so far away? In just a
[21:13] moment.
[21:20] >> Welcome to Helcore, the service
[21:21] specialists. All of our operators are
[21:23] currently assisting other customers.
[21:25] Please hold. If this is an alert,
[21:27] welcome. Just please hold.
[21:28] >> Before you go here, go here. Whether you
[21:31] want immediate answers or help at go.com
[21:33] the solution is always available.
[21:36] With days in hotels in over 1,800 cities
[21:39] and towns, you can go as far as you
[21:42] want.
[21:44] We'll always be right down the lane.
[21:47] Days in. There you go.
[21:51] I never met a dog I didn't like, which
[21:53] is a good thing considering some of the
[21:55] occupational hazards my friends put me
[21:57] through. This is mine. This is Herman.
[22:00] Ooh, what do we have here?
[22:02] >> A tick. That's why I choose Front Line
[22:04] for these guys. Front line's the best
[22:06] because it's the only one that protects
[22:08] them from fleas and disease-causing
[22:09] ticks, too. Sorry I kept you waiting. No
[22:11] matter who your best friend happens to
[22:13] be.
[22:14] >> For fleas and ticks, veterinarians
[22:16] choose the front line of protection.
[22:18] >> Okay, one more time.
[22:22] I have the power to find the quickest
[22:24] route across town
[22:28] to get tickets to the hottest shows
[22:31] and reserve the table for two and
[22:33] virtually restful. I drive an escalade.
[22:37] The only luxury SUV with the executive
[22:40] assistance of Artar standard. How can I
[22:43] help you?
[22:43] >> I have the power to make obstacles
[22:46] obsolete. Escalade. It's good to be a
[22:48] Cadillac.
[22:51] There are at least a hundred questions
[22:53] every home buyer should ask. Like, how
[22:56] much down payment do I need? Can I buy a
[22:59] $200,000 home with an FHA loan?
[23:07] Do I really need homeowners insurance?
[23:12] Luckily, HUD's FHA has the answers.
[23:14] We've helped 25 million Americans buy a
[23:17] home. Call for our free brochure.
[23:21] When some people have allergies, they
[23:23] sneeze a lot. Others get an itchy, runny
[23:25] nose or nasal congestion. Me, I had it
[23:29] all. So I said to my doctor, "Enough
[23:32] already." He prescribed Flise nasal
[23:35] spray.
[23:35] >> Multi symptom flown once a day relieves
[23:38] all nasal allergy symptoms. In fact,
[23:40] it's the number one prescribed nasal
[23:42] allergy spray for any or all of those
[23:44] nasal symptoms.
[23:45] >> All it takes is Flise. Even kids as
[23:47] young as four can use flown. For best
[23:50] results, flown must be used daily. Call
[23:52] to learn more or ask your doctor. Side
[23:54] effects are generally mild and may
[23:56] include headache, nose, bleed, or sore
[23:58] throat. For nasal allergy relief, ask
[24:00] your doctor about multi symptom flown.
[24:03] >> When you get it all, all it takes is
[24:05] Flise.
[24:06] >> Customer service. Yeah. Uh-huh. No need
[24:09] to check. We always have that in stock.
[24:12] Come on down. We're open till 7:00.
[24:15] Before you go here, go here. Whether
[24:17] you're checking stock or arranging
[24:18] delivery at go.com, your time is yours.
[24:21] >> Tonight, accused of murder.
[24:23] >> They kicked and beat him like they
[24:26] wanted to kill him.
[24:27] >> These men fled the country to escape the
[24:29] law. 2020 found them, but will justice
[24:32] ever be done? 2020 tonight at 10 9
[24:35] central.
[24:38] >> Finally this evening from here in
[24:40] Macedonia, why leave now? It is a
[24:43] question for thousands of Kosovo
[24:45] refugees who know as we do that this war
[24:48] is on the verge of being over and yet
[24:50] who are absolutely determined to get out
[24:53] of here alltogether and go to some other
[24:56] country.
[24:57] >> There is always a group of refugees
[24:59] looking at notice boards to see if
[25:00] they've been given the right of passage
[25:02] to another country. Here were the
[25:04] Ramadani brothers, one of them a doctor
[25:06] who wanted to go to Australia.
[25:08] >> What do you know about Australia?
[25:14] This is paradise.
[25:15] >> It's paradise. Australia's paradise.
[25:19] >> A human evacuation program, it's called,
[25:22] created under pressure from Macedonia,
[25:24] which doesn't want these people here.
[25:27] And now it's become something of a
[25:29] self-fulfilling prophecy.
[25:30] >> In the first few weeks of refugees
[25:32] arriving in Macedonia, um most of them
[25:35] were interested in returning to their
[25:36] homes. And now all they can talk about
[25:39] is going to third countries.
[25:42] >> Today, more people want to go somewhere
[25:44] else than there are places that will
[25:45] have them.
[25:47] The bus for America is waiting. And
[25:50] there's a problem.
[25:53] >> Abdul Plana and his brother have both
[25:55] applied for the US, but only Abdul and
[25:57] his family are on the list for today.
[26:00] >> There's a mistake. We we wanted to go
[26:03] together. Sometimes there's a genuine
[26:05] mistake, but many refugees manipulate
[26:08] the system. One family member applies to
[26:11] go to one country, another family member
[26:13] signs up for somewhere else. It's called
[26:16] maximizing your options.
[26:19] >> For whatever reason people go, some are
[26:21] fed up with the camps. Others suddenly
[26:24] see an opportunity for a better life
[26:26] than they had in Kosovo. There was
[26:28] almost a riot the other night when UN
[26:31] employees were accused of favoritism.
[26:37] >> There is nothing dignified about this.
[26:40] >> And why did you apply to go to the
[26:42] United States?
[26:47] >> She just applied. She's alone with three
[26:49] children. She has no idea where they'll
[26:51] end up. Many refugees will only know
[26:54] their destination when they're handed a
[26:56] plastic shopping bag that has the city
[26:59] written on it, like an airline claim
[27:01] check.
[27:02] >> Chicago,
[27:04] >> Rochester, New York, Washington, DC. In
[27:08] every city, they'll be met by a sponsor
[27:10] about whom they know nothing.
[27:12] >> Atlanta,
[27:13] >> Atlanta,
[27:15] Boston, utter strangers in a strange
[27:18] land. At least one human rights
[27:21] organization is very concerned about
[27:23] sending people off without telling them
[27:25] all the circumstances. Some are sent
[27:28] where they don't want to go. But there
[27:31] is, said one refugee specialist, and
[27:34] hysteria to leave. Kosovo is spreading
[27:38] its identity throughout the world.
[27:41] Or is it losing its identity in flight?
[27:46] And that is our report on World News
[27:48] Tonight. will be here again tomorrow.
[27:49] NATO troops will be going into Kosovo
[27:51] momentarily. For those of you who are
[27:53] curious, that bridge behind me in the
[27:55] capital, Scopia, has been standing since
[27:57] the sixth century. I'm Peter Jennings.
[27:59] Good night from Macedonia.
[28:07] Tomorrow, as a powerful politician
[28:09] strongarmmed this small town, will this
[28:11] multi-million dollar project be built?
[28:13] It's your money. Watch ABC's World News
[28:15] Tonight.
[28:17] This has been a presentation of ABC
[28:19] News. More Americans get their news from
[28:21] ABC News than from any other source.
[28:24] abcnews.com, now a part of the Go
[28:26] Network. Tonight, something strange is
[28:29] going on at Drew's work.
[28:30] >> Today is We Love Drew Cary Day.
[28:34] >> What? Could Drew finally be on top of
[28:36] the world? Oh my god, I never even made
[28:38] it to work. I'm home dead on my toilet.
[28:40] And what exactly is Ryan doing to the
[28:42] back of Drew's head? Watch Whose Line Is
[28:43] It Anyway after the Drew Curry Show. See
[28:45] you tonight on ABC.
[28:48] Now, News 2 at 6. First, Fast Accurate.
[28:54] The long legal saga of Perry March takes
[28:57] yet another turn. Good evening,
[28:59] everyone. Nearly 3 years ago now, the
[29:01] former Nashville lawyer loomed as the
[29:04] prime suspect in his wife's
[29:05] disappearance.
[29:06] >> And now, a court battle heats up over
[29:08] his in-laws visitation of the two March
[29:10] children. The battle unfolds in Chicago
[29:13] where Marge moved after his wife's
[29:15] disappearance. In fact, a decision is
[29:17] being made in a courtroom there right
[29:20] now. News 2's Jay Corf has more.
[29:24] >> Chicago's Midway Airport has become an
[29:26] all too familiar site for Carolyn and
[29:28] Lawrence Lavine of Nashville. They're
[29:30] back in Chicago for
