[0:07] On World News Tonight, nuclear crisis.
[0:10] North Korea says it's kicking out the
[0:11] weapons inspectors. Is it finally time
[0:14] for the US to get tough? Strange claims.
[0:18] A mysterious group says it's won the
[0:20] race to clone a human being, but it's
[0:23] not showing anyone the baby. Vanished.
[0:26] The desperate search for a woman about
[0:29] to give birth who disappeared on
[0:31] Christmas Eve. Your money. Millions of

[1:22] power plant and it is restarting a
[1:25] laboratory there that could help make
[1:27] more nuclear bombs. ABC's Bob Woodruff
[1:30] joins us. Bob, this is a country
[1:31] President Bush included in his access of
[1:33] evil. But he's treating the North
[1:35] Koreans much more gingerely than the
[1:37] Iraqis.
[1:38] >> That is true. And you better believe
[1:40] that if weapons inspectors were kicked
[1:42] out of Iraq like this, the White House
[1:43] would be screaming. Instead, they've
[1:45] been almost completely silent on this.
[1:47] On the other hand, t
