[0:03] On World News Tonight this Tuesday, the
[0:05] outline of a real agreement to end the
[0:07] war in Kosova.
[0:09] >> Stop what you're doing.
[0:10] >> The 50,000 volt stun belt to discipline
[0:13] prisoners in the US.
[0:16] Amnesty International calls them
[0:17] inhuman.
[0:19] Carded at the box office, photo IDs for
[0:22] R-rated movies. And our closer look this
[0:25] week at mental health in America.
[0:33] From ABC News, this is World News
[0:36] Tonight with Peter Jennings, reporting
[0:39] tonight from Macedonia.
[0:41] >> Good evening from Macedonia. For the
[0:43] first time tonight, there is a real
[0:44] feeling here that peace may be at hand,
[0:47] that the killing in Kosovo may stop,
[0:49] that NATO might stop bombing Yugoslavia
[0:51] for good, and that hundreds of thousands
[0:54] of displaced people may dare think about
[0:56] life again. Here is what the NATO
[0:59] alliance, China and Russia and
[1:00] Yugoslavia have planned for the next
[1:03] several days. A draft resolution to end
[1:06] the war has been delivered to the UN
[1:08] Security Council. Military officers from
[1:10] NATO and the Yugoslav Army are meeting
[1:13] again on the border here to coordinate
[1:16] their operations. Before long, NATO
[1:18] troops will be advancing in the
[1:20] direction of Kosovo and the Yugoslav
[1:23] forces are supposed to start withdrawing
[1:25] from Kosovo. When that is verified, NATO
[1:29] will stop bombing Yugoslavia.
[1:31] This could be well underway by Thursday.
[1:35] And then, having accommodated China and
[1:37] Russia, who said they would not support
[1:39] any of this until the bombing stopped,
[1:41] the UN Security Council will vote on the
[1:44] resolution to settle the Kosovo
[1:47] conflict. And then the first NATO forces
[1:50] will enter Kosovo to make it a safer
[1:52] place than it has been for a very, very
[1:55] long time. With more, here's ABC's Sam
[1:57] Donaldson.
[1:59] >> All the Kosovo dominoes began falling
[2:01] NATO's way this evening as top Yugoslav
[2:04] and NATO commanders resumed discussions
[2:06] in a tent on the Macedonian border with
[2:08] the expectation that they could sign a
[2:11] final military agreement for the
[2:13] withdrawal of Serbian forces from
[2:14] Kosovo. And at the Pentagon,
[2:16] >> first of all, we have are just beginning
[2:18] to see uh signs of preparation for
[2:22] withdrawal. A withdrawal made easier
[2:24] militarily by a pledge from Kosovo
[2:26] Liberation Army commanders that they
[2:28] will not harass retreating Serbian
[2:29] forces. A withdrawal made easier
[2:32] diplomatically when key industrial
[2:34] nations including Russia agreed on the
[2:36] wording of the UN resolution on Kosovo.
[2:38] >> The bottom line in assessing the last 24
[2:41] hours here is that we got what we came
[2:45] for. The resolution placed before the UN
[2:47] Security Council does not specifically
[2:49] mention NATO when it calls for a UN
[2:51] peacekeeping force, but US officials say
[2:54] NATO's central role is understood.
[2:56] President Clinton talked to Russia's
[2:58] Boris Yelson today and gave in to
[3:00] Yelson's insistence that Russian troops
[3:02] joining the peacekeeping force will not
[3:04] be directly under NATO control. The
[3:06] president said he thinks final details
[3:08] for removing Serbian forces and
[3:10] installing international forces in
[3:11] Kosovo are within reach. When there is
[3:14] evidence that the full withdrawal has
[3:17] begun, we will suspend the bombing.
[3:20] >> White House officials believe Sloban
[3:21] Mallovich now recognizes he has no
[3:23] choice but to comply and that the next
[3:25] 24 to 48 hours could see a rapid
[3:28] sequence of events that would bring an
[3:29] end to the hostilities. If so, it would
[3:32] bring for President Clinton both a big
[3:34] victory and a big sigh of relief. Sam
[3:38] Donaldson, ABC News, the White House.
[3:41] This is John McQuey at the Pentagon.
[3:44] 2,000 US Marines are expected to go
[3:47] ashore tomorrow morning in Greece and
[3:49] begin heading by road through Macedonia
[3:52] toward Kosovo.
[3:53] >> I'm looking forward to going to Kosovo
[3:54] because it's nice to be helping out
[3:57] people. That's just about the only
[3:58] reason I'd be wanting to go there. The
[4:00] initial US force will also include 1,700
[4:04] army troops and eight of the Apache
[4:06] helicopters in Albania that were never
[4:09] used during the air campaign. The first
[4:11] NATO troops into Kosovo will not be
[4:14] American. They will be British. The
[4:16] chief hazard is the is the mines and the
[4:18] unexloded ordinance. Exactly where all
[4:20] that is, uh we don't know precisely at
[4:22] the moment.
[4:23] >> And NATO troops could face another
[4:25] hazard. While they are moving in,
[4:27] heavily armed Yugoslav soldiers will be
[4:29] on the same roads pulling out. Officials
[4:32] say there may be times when they are
[4:34] face to face. John McQuey, ABC News. The
[4:37] Pentagon.
[4:39] Throughout Yugoslavia tonight, where
[4:40] resentment of Mr. Mallosvich is already
[4:42] very sharp, there may be another reason
[4:44] for anger. If NATO sources are correct,
[4:47] hundreds of Yugoslav troops may have
[4:50] been killed in a B-52 bombing raid near
[4:52] the Albanian border after Yugoslavia was
[4:55] slow to begin the retreat from Kosovo,
[4:58] which it had agreed to. The men were
[5:01] reportedly caught in the open.
[5:05] This part of the world, it must be said,
[5:07] encourages a certain cynicism. So many
[5:10] people dislike each other, even revile
[5:12] one another. The Serbs said again today
[5:14] that the only people who will be allowed
[5:15] back into Kosovo will be those who can
[5:18] prove they are from Kosovo.
[5:21] And the Serbs had a whole campaign of
[5:25] identity cleansing. Here's ABC's Terry
[5:27] Moran.
[5:30] >> It happened to tens of thousands of
[5:32] these people as they were driven out of
[5:34] Kosovo.
[5:37] >> They took our identification cards and
[5:39] other documents, says this woman, and
[5:40] then destroyed them all.
[5:42] They say, "Give me the papers, the
[5:46] personal papers."
[5:47] >> It was a Serb tactic clearly aimed at
[5:49] keeping ethnic Albanians out of Kosovo
[5:52] permanently. In Germany today, Secretary
[5:54] of State Maline Albbright said it would
[5:56] not work.
[5:57] >> The Serbs will in no way be able to
[6:00] control who goes back into Kosovo. um
[6:04] those people that have uh whose identity
[6:06] papers were removed have in fact been
[6:09] reissued identity papers by the UNHCR.
[6:13] >> But UN officials say they have barely
[6:15] begun issuing the papers.
[6:16] >> It's a huge job. Um the whole return
[6:19] process will just be one of the most
[6:21] overwhelming challenges that we will
[6:22] ever face in the humanitarian world.
[6:24] >> And the challenge involves more than
[6:26] just getting the refugees across the
[6:28] border. Without their personal papers,
[6:31] many of the people here and more in the
[6:32] refugee camps in Albania can't prove the
[6:35] most basic facts about themselves that
[6:37] the rest of us take for granted. That
[6:39] they are married, that they own
[6:40] property, have the right to vote, that
[6:42] they were ever citizens of their own
[6:44] homeland. It is one more aspect of the
[6:47] catastrophe here. So many of these
[6:49] people erased from the record of civil
[6:52] society. Terry Moran, ABC News, at the
[6:54] Shagrani refugee camp.
[6:58] Later in the broadcast, the real
[7:00] possibility that many refugees here will
[7:02] still have to contend with ice and snow.
[7:07] When World News Tonight continues,
[7:08] Connie Chung, who's in New York, will
[7:10] have some of the day's other news.
[7:14] This is World News Tonight with Peter
[7:16] Jennings, brought to you by Chevy
[7:19] Trucks.
[7:49] Chevy Tahoe like a rock.
[7:53] With locations in over 1,800 cities and
[7:55] towns, there's always a Days in Hotel
[7:58] nearby. Wherever you're going, wherever
[8:01] you're from.
[8:04] Days In. There you go.
[8:08] Got heartburn caused by acid reflux?
[8:10] Only Gavascon forms a soothing
[8:13] protective barrier that keeps acid down.
[8:15] Pepsidac and Zantac 75 can't do that.
[8:19] Gavascon, it helps keep acid down where
[8:21] it belongs.
[8:23] I'm 64. Is there anything I can do to
[8:25] stop bone loss?
[8:26] >> Absolutely. Here's proof. In a landmark
[8:29] clinical study, CalRate actually stopped
[8:31] bone loss and women at risk for
[8:32] osteoporosis. Whatever your age,
[8:35] >> it's never too late for Calrate.
[8:39] In New York City today, a verdict in the
[8:41] police brutality case that has received
[8:43] national attention. Officer Charles
[8:45] Schwarz was convicted of beating a
[8:47] Haitian immigrant, Abnner Luima, and
[8:49] holding him down while another officer
[8:51] tortured him. That officer pleaded
[8:53] guilty last month. Three others were
[8:55] acquitted of lesser charges. The human
[8:58] rights group Amnesty International today
[9:00] called for a ban on high-tech device
[9:03] used to control prisoners. The device
[9:05] already being used by police and prison
[9:07] guards in dozens of states. ABC's John
[9:10] Miller has the details.
[9:12] Mike Godwin is about to get the shock of
[9:15] his life.
[9:16] >> Stop what you're doing.
[9:19] >> The electrical shock came from the stun
[9:22] belt around Godwin's waist. More and
[9:24] more police and prison officials are
[9:26] using this device to keep potentially
[9:28] violent prisoners under control. Godwin
[9:31] is a cop, not a prisoner, but the
[9:33] manufacturer requires the training
[9:35] officer of any agency buying the belt to
[9:37] try it out on themselves
[9:39] >> for 8 seconds. It's It's not something
[9:42] that you would want to go through, but
[9:44] it is not torture.
[9:45] >> Amnesty International believes it is
[9:48] just that. The belt sends a shock of
[9:50] 50,000 volts and leaves no marks, which
[9:53] is why critics say the belt may
[9:55] encourage police brutality by remote
[9:58] control.
[9:59] >> From our point of view, high techch
[10:01] torture is just as serious a problem as
[10:05] low tech torture in the form of batons
[10:08] or broom handles. The Amnesty
[10:10] International report points to two
[10:12] documented cases of misuse. A prisoner
[10:15] in this New Orleans jail was shocked
[10:17] when an officer set the belt off
[10:18] accidentally. In Los Angeles, a judge
[10:21] ordered officers to shock a defendant
[10:23] who repeatedly ignored the judge's order
[10:26] to stop talking. The use of the stun
[10:28] belt has already been banned by three
[10:30] states, but across the country, more
[10:32] police agencies are buying them in the
[10:35] belief that they may cause less injury
[10:37] than the tools they're working with now.
[10:39] Fists, nightsticks, and pepper spray.
[10:42] John Miller, ABC News, New York.
[10:45] >> Other news today, kids who want to see
[10:47] R-rated movies better be ready to show
[10:49] some ID. At the White House today,
[10:52] President Clinton won a promise from
[10:53] theater owners to card kids trying to
[10:56] get into certain films. ABC's Jackie Jud
[10:59] reports. It's part of Washington's
[11:00] effort to be seen as protecting kids
[11:03] from violence.
[11:05] >> Okay. So, what do you need besides a
[11:07] miracle? Guns. Lots of guns.
[11:10] >> Hundreds of R-rated movies such as The
[11:13] Blockbuster Matrix come out every year.
[11:16] And in theory, children under 17 who are
[11:19] not with an adult cannot get in. Movie
[11:22] theater owners today pledged to actually
[11:25] enforce that rule by requiring
[11:27] youngsters to prove their age at the
[11:29] ticket booth with picture IDs.
[11:31] >> From now on, parents will know that the
[11:33] R rating means what it is supposed to
[11:34] mean, restricted. But even the theater
[11:37] owners conceded that underage children
[11:39] once inside a multiplex can still slip
[11:42] into a theater showing an R-rated
[11:45] picture.
[11:45] >> We will do the very best we can to see
[11:47] that that does not happen.
[11:49] >> Shielding children from violence
[11:51] occupied Capitol Hill today as well.
[11:53] Republican Henry Hyde announced a
[11:55] sweeping proposal to outlaw the sale to
[11:58] children of extremely explicit sexual or
[12:01] violent material in CDs, movies, books,
[12:05] and games. Its future is very uncertain.
[12:09] Democrats and some Republicans are
[12:11] worried that in the interest of
[12:13] protecting children, Congress might be
[12:15] violating the First Amendment. Jackie
[12:18] Jud, ABC News, Washington.
[12:21] In our next segment, sweltering heat in
[12:23] the east, drought in many other places.
[12:26] Just wait until summer really starts.
[12:36] Where will you be when your grandson
[12:38] gets his first taste of the ocean?
[12:42] When man walks on Mars?
[12:45] When your children want to discover
[12:47] their heritage?
[12:49] Life is filled with moments you don't
[12:51] want to miss. That's why if you have
[12:53] high cholesterol and heart disease, you
[12:55] should know about Zulor. Zokor is proven
[12:57] to help save lives by reducing the risk
[13:00] of a heart attack. So, where will you be
[13:02] tomorrow? That could depend on what you
[13:04] do today. When diet and exercise aren't
[13:06] enough, talk to your doctor about adding
[13:08] Zokor. Zilor is a prescription
[13:10] medication that is not right for
[13:12] everyone, including women who are
[13:13] nursing, pregnant, or may become
[13:15] pregnant, or people with liver problems.
[13:17] Your doctor may do blood tests to check
[13:18] for liver problems because serious side
[13:21] effects can result. Tell your doctor
[13:22] about any muscle pain or weakness you
[13:24] experience while on Zokor and about any
[13:26] medicines you are taking. For more
[13:28] information, talk to your doctor or call
[13:31] Zokor. It's your future. Be there. Nancy
[13:35] will have to see from near to far almost
[13:37] a thousand times today. Her eyes will
[13:39] focus on 40 labels, 60 charts, and 100
[13:42] smiles. And in all that time, she'll
[13:44] never once think about the science that
[13:46] allows her to focus instantly at all
[13:49] distances. Nancy just knows that her
[13:51] Verarilux lenses help her see better.
[13:53] And for her, that's a very comforting
[13:55] thought. Verilux, the comfort of better
[13:58] vision. For more information, call
[14:00] toll-free 1 800 Verilux.
[14:04] >> Around here, it's not every day we all
[14:06] get together.
[14:07] >> We're making them dinner.
[14:08] >> COME ON, YOU GUYS.
[14:11] But when we do, it's great that the
[14:13] folks at Craft make Italian.
[14:14] >> I love this stuff.
[14:15] >> Cuz it's the one thing we agree on. That
[14:18] way, we can talk about what's on our
[14:19] minds instead of what's on our plates.
[14:22] >> Whose idea was this?
[14:23] >> Has a boyfriend.
[14:24] >> I guess they just know what we like.
[14:25] >> A what?
[14:26] >> He's a senior.
[14:27] >> He's a senior.
[14:28] >> Around here, the dressing is Craft. For
[14:31] something different, try one of Craft's
[14:33] new vinegrettes.
[14:36] >> Along much of the eastern seabboard
[14:37] today, there were record high
[14:39] temperatures. Six New England states
[14:41] have declared a state of emergency
[14:43] because of the enormous demands on the
[14:45] power grid. ABC's Ned Potter reports the
[14:48] weather problems extend beyond the heat.
[14:51] >> Boiling this afternoon, the mercury is
[14:53] going to soar near 100°. The streets of
[14:56] Washington are sizzling. In Boston, they
[14:58] sent 40,000 state workers home. Heat
[15:01] waves come and go, but there's also
[15:03] drought now, and it's going nowhere.
[15:06] Carolina farmers are talking about dying
[15:08] crops before they're even planted. Dry
[15:11] weather has made a giant broken arc from
[15:13] the Mid-Atlantic to the southeast to
[15:15] Arizona. And the government's climate
[15:17] forecasters said today they do not see
[15:19] an end coming.
[15:21] >> This is a serious uh serious drought. We
[15:24] expect some short-term uh partial relief
[15:27] and maybe some longerterm relief, but
[15:30] there's no question that we're in a very
[15:31] difficult situation right now.
[15:33] Meanwhile, California has had heavy rain
[15:35] where it ought to be sunny. And if you
[15:37] want something to blame, there's no
[15:39] single reason. But look at this
[15:41] satellite image of the Pacific Ocean.
[15:43] That giant blue and purple blob is the
[15:46] cold water of Leninia. Climatologists
[15:49] thought it would be gone by now.
[15:51] Instead, they say Leninia may strengthen
[15:53] and last through fall.
[15:54] >> The climate is really still seriously
[15:57] out of balance. And so, we're seeing
[15:59] unusual weather across the globe.
[16:02] Ironically, the leninia that's helping
[16:04] cause the mid-Atlantic drought may
[16:06] supply the rain to end it. The bad news
[16:09] is that it could be in the form of a
[16:11] hurricane. Forecasters have already said
[16:14] leninia will likely cause more storms
[16:16] than usual to hit the east coast. Then
[16:19] Potter, ABC News, New York.
[16:22] >> On the money tonight, it's getting
[16:23] harder to know when to buy an airline
[16:25] ticket. Just last week, the major
[16:27] airlines raised fairs again. Today, new
[16:30] cuts. United will cut as much as 25%.
[16:34] Six other airlines quickly followed
[16:36] suit. The number of businesses owned by
[16:39] women has increased by more than 40% in
[16:42] the last 7 years. A new survey finds
[16:44] that 30% of women say they started a
[16:47] business for greater freedom. 13% say
[16:50] money was the primary factor. On Wall
[16:53] Street today, the Dow Jones Industrial
[16:54] Average was down more than 143 points to
[16:58] close at 10,765.
[17:00] On the Nasdaq, stocks were down about 49
[17:03] points. A government panel has
[17:05] recommended today that all new cars come
[17:08] equipped with a release mechanism inside
[17:10] the trunk by the year 2001. 11 children
[17:14] climbed inside trunks and died from the
[17:16] heat last summer. In a moment, old,
[17:20] depressed, and undiagnosed. A closer
[17:22] look at depression and the elderly.
[17:31] >> Summer, time to get busy with Red
[17:34] Lobster's 30 shrimp dinner for $9.99.
[17:39] >> Two choices, 30 shrimp, $9.99.
[17:43] >> Escape to Red Lobster. If you wear
[17:46] dentures, imagine how nervous teaching
[17:48] teenagers could make you feel. What if
[17:50] your dentures slipped? But thanks to the
[17:53] all day hold of Super Polygrip, those
[17:55] days are over. I think that says a lot
[17:57] about the power of Polygrip.
[18:02] >> Sir, I need your vehicle.
[18:05] I need to get the 84th interst
[18:11] drive car in the world, right?
[18:13] >> Yeah. Beat the 540i in the slow.
[18:15] >> I knew that. Big fan of the Northstar
[18:17] system. Civil tracks your mind when it
[18:20] comes to control.
[18:20] >> That was close. Trust me. I want the
[18:23] government. Civil STS. It's what's next.
[18:26] >> Should you be getting out?
[18:27] >> Oh, they'll be all right.
[18:31] >> Courage. Something shared by countless
[18:33] Americans.
[18:35] Those who risk their lives.
[18:38] Those who battle serious illness. When I
[18:40] was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I
[18:42] was primarily concerned with ridding
[18:44] myself of the cancer. But secondly, I
[18:46] was concerned about possible
[18:48] post-operative side effects like
[18:50] erectile dysfunction, ED, often called
[18:53] impetence. You know, it's a little
[18:55] embarrassing to talk about ED, but it's
[18:57] so important to millions of men and
[18:59] their partners, but I decided to talk
[19:01] about it publicly. And after all, it can
[19:03] be associated with many conditions,
[19:06] including prostate surgery, high blood
[19:08] pressure, diabetes, or even smoking. The
[19:12] point I want to make is there are many
[19:13] treatments available for ED. So my
[19:15] advice is get a medical checkup. It's
[19:18] the best way to get educated about ED
[19:20] and what can be done to treat it. It may
[19:22] take a little courage, but I've always
[19:25] found that everything worthwhile does.
[19:31] So Murray, did you hear about Nick
[19:33] across the way?
[19:34] >> Yeah. Got sprayed. Did he just get
[19:36] sprayed?
[19:36] >> Yeah, but didn't get the roots. Whatever
[19:38] got him this time was different. I
[19:39] didn't think anything could take Nick.
[19:41] Hey, next time it could be us.
[19:43] >> Roundup, no root, no weed, no problem.
[19:50] >> We're taking a closer look at the
[19:51] nation's state of mind this week. Mental
[19:54] illness in America. One of the biggest
[19:56] hurdles in treating mental illness is
[19:58] recognizing that someone has a problem
[20:01] or admitting you have one yourself. This
[20:03] is especially true of the elderly. About
[20:06] one in four older Americans suffers from
[20:08] some kind of mental illness. An
[20:10] estimated 5 million are clinically
[20:13] depressed. ABC's Jane Clayson reports
[20:15] tonight. A disturbing number of these
[20:17] people who really need help never get
[20:20] it.
[20:22] Whether in her garden, at an art show,
[20:25] or on the tennis court, 70-year-old
[20:28] Barbara Stone is outgoing, involved,
[20:30] obviously happy.
[20:33] But one year ago, she was seriously
[20:35] depressed. I just couldn't find a place
[20:38] for me in this world. I think that's
[20:41] pretty much it.
[20:43] >> Barbara Stone got help.
[20:45] >> You like it?
[20:46] >> But psychologists say the majority of
[20:48] elderly people who suffer from mental
[20:50] illness rarely get it treated. Most
[20:52] never admit it.
[20:54] >> Being depressed, you just don't pick up
[20:56] the phone and call anybody and say,
[20:57] "Help me."
[20:59] >> Many of the elderly view mental problems
[21:00] as a weakness, not an illness. They
[21:03] don't see psychiatric problems as being
[21:05] part of the way that their brain is
[21:06] functioning in the way that they might
[21:08] see uh congestive heart failure or
[21:10] hypertension as being a function of the
[21:11] way that their heart functions.
[21:13] >> Depression is the most common form of
[21:15] mental illness among the elderly. Yet
[21:17] 70% of those patients go unrecognized
[21:20] and untreated. Now close your eyes
[21:23] again. Elderly who are depressed are
[21:25] more likely to complain about physical
[21:27] ailments and visit their family doctor
[21:29] rather than a psychologist or a
[21:30] psychiatrist.
[21:31] >> Okay. So researchers at UCLA are trying
[21:34] to help family doctors diagnose
[21:36] depression more easily and treat it more
[21:38] quickly.
[21:39] >> Hold your eyes very steady.
[21:40] >> One way to do that is by using
[21:42] electrodes to measure brain activity
[21:44] before and after medication, which will
[21:47] help predict which drug is most
[21:49] effective for each patient.
[21:50] >> We've learned that if we don't pick the
[21:53] right drug first, that unfortunately
[21:55] people may get discouraged. They may
[21:57] say, "I never should have come into
[21:59] treatment to begin with." With
[22:00] depression, discouragement can be
[22:02] deadly. The elderly make up 13% of the
[22:05] population, but account for 25% of the
[22:08] suicides. Those who need help the most
[22:11] are least likely to get it.
[22:13] >> There we go. Those who do can fully
[22:15] recover. Barbara Stone is back doing
[22:18] what she loves. The garden really
[22:21] suffered when I suffered. That's for
[22:23] sure. Because it I didn't care for it. I
[22:26] didn't care for myself, I guess, in the
[22:28] same way. Now both are thriving.
[22:33] >> Smell it.
[22:34] >> Beautiful. Jane Clayson, ABC News, Los
[22:37] Angeles.
[22:39] >> Tomorrow, what's the right treatment for
[22:41] mental illness? Pills may be easy and
[22:44] cheap, but they're not always the best
[22:46] solution. Now, back once again to Peter
[22:48] Jennings in Macedonia.
[22:51] >> When we come back, a final note about
[22:53] winter. Yes, even before summer. They
[22:56] are worried here about winter.
[23:04] There's nutrition news about heart
[23:06] disease. The B vitamin folic acid may
[23:08] help reduce homocyine levels in the
[23:11] blood, an emerging risk factor for heart
[23:13] disease. And Centrum Silver has folic
[23:15] acid.
[23:16] >> Centrum Silver. It's a great time to be
[23:18] silver.
[23:20] I'll be seeing you in all the old
[23:24] familiar places that this heart of mine.
[23:28] >> Have you seen Transitions lenses lately?
[23:31] Indoors the changing tint is clear.
[23:33] Outdoors they're the darkest transitions
[23:35] lenses ever for all day comfort and
[23:38] convenience. Transitions lenses right in
[23:40] any light. Come to JC Penney Optical and

[24:15] New Bear Gel Caps. powerful pain relief
[24:18] and so much more.
[24:21] >> With Days in hotels in over 1,800 cities
[24:24] and towns, finding a place to stay
[24:28] doesn't take a federal investigation.
[24:31] Days In. There you go.
[24:35] >> Tomorrow on Good Morning America,
[24:37] President and Mrs. Bush on their life
[24:39] outside the White House and how their
[24:41] son's political future could bring it
[24:43] all back. Diane Sawyer, Charles Gibson.
[24:46] Good Morning America.
[24:50] >> Finally, this evening from Macedonia
[24:52] again. The news of an agreement to
[24:54] really end the war has not generated
[24:56] wild enthusiasm here. So many refugees
[24:59] seem to understand they're a long way
[25:00] from picking up their lives where they
[25:02] left off. Their homes, their water
[25:04] supplies, their electricity, their
[25:05] roads, they've all been so badly
[25:07] damaged. The international relief
[25:09] community wants to get people home as
[25:11] quickly as it possibly can. But there
[25:13] was a big meeting here only yesterday to
[25:16] make plans for a lot of people they
[25:18] think will be outside Kosovo when winter
[25:21] comes.
[25:23] When aid workers here want to conjure up
[25:25] a new nightmare they imagine Shagrani
[25:27] covered in ice and snow. As miserable as
[25:31] it is for 40,000 people in this camp
[25:33] today, winter would be infinitely worse.
[25:37] 200 trucks a day struggle up this hill
[25:39] every day with water. Sarah Bish is an
[25:42] Australian water and sewage specialist.
[25:44] >> From your point of view as a water
[25:46] specialist, is winter going to be worse
[25:47] than summer?
[25:48] >> Yes. At the moment, our problem is
[25:51] meeting demand. Uh the water use is very
[25:54] high in this camp. But in winter, it's
[25:56] the actual uh distribution. We will have
[25:59] the water here, but it's getting it to
[26:01] the people. They can bury the main pipes
[26:04] maybe, but at 20°
[26:08] >> water and sewage here will freeze. There
[26:11] have never been any showers here, so
[26:12] that's not an issue. But today, they
[26:14] were putting sloped roofs on the
[26:16] latrines.
[26:18] That way, the snow will slide off. And
[26:21] then there is the matter of the tents.
[26:24] These light colored tents from US aid
[26:27] are the best tents in the camp in the
[26:29] summertime because they're very cool or
[26:31] at least they're cooler than the others.
[26:32] In the winter, they'll be absolutely
[26:34] useless. And in the winter, you can't
[26:36] put a stove in a tent.
[26:39] >> The fear of fire in a tent community is
[26:41] very real. There is nothing about these
[26:44] camps that won't be worse in the winter.
[26:47] And so, the relief community must look
[26:49] for other solutions.
[26:51] 40% of Kosovo Albanians have lived with
[26:53] friends and family in Macedonia, but
[26:55] many host families are going broke. One
[26:58] suggestion is to put refugees in hotels.
[27:01] That would cost a vast sum the
[27:04] international agencies don't have. And
[27:06] even if there was hotel space, the
[27:08] hotels don't want them.
[27:11] There is some talk of using old
[27:13] warehouses, but we saw what that might
[27:15] look like in a small camp the other day,
[27:17] and it's a surprise that people don't
[27:20] riot. Moreover, the Macedonian
[27:23] government says unequivocally, these
[27:25] people have got to be out of here.
[27:31] >> There should be permanent structures for
[27:33] the winter. He says they should be built
[27:35] in Albania. It's going to be a long hot
[27:39] summer in Shagrani. And you can only do
[27:42] so much to make a tent seem like home.
[27:45] And when winter comes, if these people
[27:48] are still here, the flowers at least
[27:51] will die.
[27:54] >> And that is our report on World News
[27:55] Tonight. We'll be here again tomorrow. I
[27:57] hope you'll join us then. I'm Peter
[27:59] Jennings. Good night from Scopia in
[28:01] Macedonia.

[29:18] boyfriend of the little girl's mother.

[29:30] girl died at 10:30
