[0:00] Go to Lance.
[0:03] This is CNN.

[0:16] The spy plane stalemate. Day seven. What
[0:19] China wants and what the United States
[0:21] is now prepared to do to gain the
[0:23] release of the Navy plane and its crew.
[0:25] A flawless launch for Odyssey. NASA
[0:27] hopes the third times the charm for its
[0:29] latest mission to Mars. And why NBC is
[0:32] betting on its weakest link in the
[0:35] reality game show Sweep Stakes. 3 p.m.
[0:37] on the East Coast, noon in the West.
[0:39] From the CNN Center in Atlanta, this is

[1:01] crew. Beijing continues to hold out for

[1:08] jet. The United States is hoping that
[1:10] Beijing will accept a letter expressing
[1:12] regret for the incident. Mr. Bush and
[1:15] top US officials this week expressed
[1:17] regret for the loss of a Chinese pilot
[1:19] during the collision. But that is not
[1:20] enough for the pilot's wife. She sent a
[1:23] stinging letter to Mr. Bush. Details
[1:25] now. CNN's senior White House
[1:26] correspondent John King with us. John.
[1:29] Well, Donna, we're told President Bush
[1:31] received and read that letter earlier
[1:32] today. He's at the Camp David
