[0:15] Civilians are killed as NATO intensifies
[0:17] its bombing campaign against Yugoslavia.
[0:21] Tens of thousands of refugees gather in
[0:23] makeshift camps. Others are struggling

[0:48] Hello and welcome. I'm Wanita Phillips
[0:51] in London and I'm Michael Holmes at the
[0:53] CNN Center. Welcome. NATO's 13th night
[0:56] of air strikes has claimed civilian
[0:58] casualties in Yugoslavia. Better weather
[1:01] in the Balkans has allowed NATO to
[1:03] intensify its bombing campaign while the
[1:06] international community continues to

[1:22] Monday, over 1,000 were airlifted to
[1:24] Turkey with up to 19,000 more expected
[1:27] to follow in the next 10 days. About 90
[1:30] more refugees have arrived in Norway.
[1:32] Other NATO countries are also promising
[1:34] to take in a total of about 100,000
[1:36] displaced Kosovars. The situation in the
[1:39] Balkans remains acute. A whole host of
[1:42] countries are rushing emergency supplies
[1:44] and equipment to the region. CNN's
[1:47] Matthew Chance joins us now from Blasier
[1:49] and Mac in Macedonia. Matthew, what's
[1:51] the latest?
[1:55] Well, Hanita, I can tell you it's still
[1:57] a very desperate desperate situation on
[1:59] the ground here. The United Nations
[2:01] Refugee Agency says there are still tens
