[0:02] The president picks a woman for the US
[0:04] Supreme Court. A full report on who she
[0:06] is and her chances for confirmation. In
[0:09] Moadishu, more US air strikes against a
[0:11] defiant Somali warlord and more civilian
[0:14] casualties.
[0:16] >> An eye on America. Tonight, the battle
