[0:14] CNN. The standoff in Belgrade.

[0:16] Yugoslavia's ex-president declares that

[0:19] he would rather die than surrender to

[0:21] police. From California's power crunch

[0:24] to higher prices at the pump this

[0:25] summer, the nation's energy rose. But is

[0:28] it really a crisis? Plus, the fear here

[0:31] over foot and mouth. Why US farmers are

[0:34] worried even though an outbreak is an

[0:36] ocean away? It is 3 p.m. on the east

[0:39] coast, noon in the west, and this is CNN

[0:40] Saturday. Glad to have you join us. I'm

[0:45] with an iron fist. And today,

[0:46] ex-president Sloan Malloich is steps

[0:48] away from arrest. The longtime leader

[1:08] the standoff, here's CNN's Walter

[1:10] Rogers.

[1:13] A Yuguslav police SWAT team out to

[1:15] arrest former President Sloan

[1:17] Mallosvich.

[1:20] They tossed concussion grenades into the

[1:22] compound where Mallosvich lives.

[1:26] But the police underestimated

[1:28] Mallosvich's bodyguards numbers and

[1:30] their willingness to defend

[1:32] him. The Mallosvich bodyguards

[1:35] reportedly, including some army

[1:36] loyalists, opened fire on the police

[1:38] assault team, which apparently was under

[1:41] orders not to return fire. And while the

[1:43] police sought shelter in a gate house, a

[1:46] defiant Mallosvich was insid
