[0:14] >> This is CNN breaking news.
[0:22] We welcome our viewers from around the
[0:24] world. We now go to Brent Saddler with
[0:28] uh with news on the bombing of the
[0:30] Serbian TV headquarters. Brent, what's
[0:32] what's new? Thanks, Rosemary. I've just

[1:31] services have not yet, at least they
[1:33] hadn't an hour ago, been able to get
[1:34] some of those people, some of those
[1:36] bodies away because of the way that they
[1:38] were trapped inside the tons of
[1:40] concrete. Now, officials are saying that
[1:42] the early estimates of the number of
[1:44] dead inside the building is in the
[1:46] region of about nine. They're not
