[0:02] Shut up.

[0:03] >> What are you hearing on the radio right

[0:04] at the moment?

[0:06] >> What are we hearing on the radio right

[0:07] at the moment?

[0:08] >> Music.

[0:09] >> They're playing music right now, Peter.

[0:11] I I should point out too it so that we

[0:14] don't get uh melodramatic here. Um

[0:18] earlier uh while we were listening to

[0:21] some of the uh um noise from Tel Aviv,

[0:25] we were told that there was in fact a

[0:27] thunderstorm

[0:29] uh that accompanied um the uh actual

[0:32] explosions.

[0:34] Um if if there is rain in Tel Aviv, that

[0:37] is good because that helps to combat the

[0:40] effects if there is some kind of a

[0:43] chemical attack.

[0:44] >> We do not know.

[0:44] >> I'm getting way out on a limb though.

[0:46] Well, we'll keep we'll keep you back

[0:47] from getting out there too far. The

[0:49] point is that we have had from Pentagon

[0:50] officials, from State Department

[0:52] officials and from Israeli government

[0:54] officials and also from one witness we

[0:56] talked to on the telephone in Tel Aviv a

[0:58] confirmation that there have been

[1:00] explosions in Tel Aviv. They've been

[1:02] characterized as missile attacks by the

[1:05] Pentagon and by the State Department and

[1:06] by Israeli officials. Um, the Associated

[1:09] Press is reporting a volley of three

[1:12] landing on Tel Aviv, but we do not know

[1:14] any more than that.

[1:16] >> We can hear the air raid sirens again in

[1:18] Tel Aviv. Uh, Peter, I should point out

[1:21] that uh the uh air raid sirens went off

[1:25] in Jerusalem some time ago and they have

[1:27] not repeated here, but in uh Tel Aviv,

[1:30] they've been going on and off uh for the

[1:33] last few minutes. Now, the air raid

[1:35] siren we are hearing now is in Tel Aviv

[1:37] or
