Good evening, I'm Joy Sutton filling in tonight for Jean Jadhon.
Slobodan Milosevic (vich) is the target of massive demonstrations in Belgrade.
But he is no where to be found.
And the tension is mounting.
He's already lost control of the Parliament building and the state-run TV.
And now he's being abandonend by the official news agency.
To make matters worse, the leader of the opposition has now declared himself president.
For the latest we go to Lisa Lee in Washington, DCTERMS..

((Narr: Chaos erupted on the streets of Belgrade. A mob of hundreds of
thousands of protestors stormed the Parliament building, setting it on
fire, in numbers not seen before during the 13-year reign of Yugoslav
President Slobodan Milosevic.
(poss nat spike)
Addressing the crowd, Vojislav Kostunica declared himself the rightful
leader of yugoslavia , and called the first meeting of the new
Parliament.
(nat spike of Kostunica)
(track)
Even Yugoslav state run television, one of the main propaganda
tools of Milosevic, announced Kostunica is the official president-elect.
Police tried to control the crowds by firing tear gas, but
eventually many of them threw off their uniforms and joined the
demonstrations.
President Clinton expressed solidarity with the protestors, but
said the US would not intervene militarily.
(clinton sot AT 11:55:17)
"i thin the people are trying to get their country back, and we support
democracy and the will of the serbian people."
(maybe a nat spike?)

The protests began calmly several days ago when Milosevic refused
to accept defeat, after losing the national election ten days ago to
Kostunica.
The mob charged the Parliament demanding Milosevic step down.
Secretary of State Madeline Albright urged Milosevic not to
fight democracy.

"The people of Yugoslavia have made their will known. Milosevic should
not thwart them."))

Locals are calling it "The Thrill in the Ville" -- Danville that is,
the site of the first and only Vice Presidential clash.
In 90 minutes, both candidates have to sell themselves, and sell
their their bosses.
Republican Dick Cheney is expected to hammer home the party's plans
on prescription drugs and saving social security, while at the same
time, criticizing Al Gore's fundraising practices.

Democrat Joe Lieberman's could target Cheney's conservative voting

(SOT/JACK POGUE, REPUBLICAN PARTY HEADQUARTERS 10:38:20)
"We consider them our allies, just like the Russians (laughs)."

Like the town - the debate will be informal, with the candidates
sitting side by side at an oval table - each given two minutes to answer

Nothing has been left to chance. Both sides are hoping practice
