(Nat Sound up of Rock Throwing)
More rock throwing. More shooting. More wounded. The toll
continues to rise as Israelis and Palestinians clash for the 12th
straight day with no end in sight. All hope for a peaceful resolution
to the crisis rests with diplomats and world leaders struggling to find
a solution.
(sot, Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General)
I have come to listen to hear the leaders to work with them and see how
I can help."
The crisis erupted 2 weeks ago after Israeli hardliner Ariel
Sharon sparked a confrontation when he appeared at a sacred tomb revered
by Palestinians and Jews.
An Israeli deadline for Palestinians to lay down their arms seems
to have had little effect despite warnings about using the full-might of
its Army if the violence doesn't end.
American ally Saudi Arabia has announced it will not standby idly
if Israel launches strikes against Palestinians and their supporters in
neighboring Lebanon and Syria.
President Clinton has talked repeatedly with leaders on both sides
of the conflict. Mister Clinton wants a peace summit in Egypt but has
made no decision about flying to the region until diplomats have more
time.
(sot, Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General)
The time is short, the stakes are high, the price for failure is more
than anyone of us wants to pay.
(WILSON STANDUP CLOSE)
For now, it is a stalemate. Neither side seems willing to stop the
fighting. Neither side seems willing to commit to peace.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. FIRST THE GENETIC MATERIAL IS REMOVED FROM AN

TO GROW INTO AN EMBRYO...THAT EMBRYO IS THEN IMPLANTED IN A SURROGATE

THE TECHNOLOGY COULD BE USED ON MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES.
