The Arab TV station Al-Jazeera aired video footage Friday showing a U.S. soldier in the custody of insurgents.
The man identifies himself as P-F-C Maupin.
Private Keith Maupin of Batavia, Ohio, is one of two soldiers missing since an attack last week on a convoy near Baghdad.
U-S military authorities say they're trying to verify that he's the man seen in the video.
The soldier is shown sitting on a floor in front of masked gunmen. Aleen Sirgany is live in Washington with more on this ...and the President's promise that both he and British Prime Minister Tony Blair are standing firm on bringing democracy to Iraq.

The privileged classes in Pyongyang are enjoying locally brewed hops....
thanks to British brewing.
Two years ago North Korean leader Kim Jong Il spent two-million dollars on an traditional English brewery after spotting an investment opportunity in an ad..
The brewery was painstakingly dismantled in Wiltshire and shipped to Pyongyang.... for reconstruction along the Taedong River.

UPSOT RATTLING BOTTLES

The result - TAEDONGGANG beer.

(beer vats/computer system/woman testing beer/beer vats)

Inside the brewery there's a labyrinth of vats and pipes. A hightech German computer system controls the brewing process while locally grown barley is roasted to produce the drink.
Taedonggang has become so popular in North Korea it's beating out other available beers from Europe, Singapore and Japan. This businessman says,

UPSOT MAN IN KOREAN

'compared to others - this beer it is very good.....I'm going to concentrate on drinking more of it'

(men enjoying beer/glasses)

The regime has invested heavily into the brewery ...
Even though Pyonyang is dependent on imported aid from the US and other countries to feed its population...
it is hoping to export its homemade beer.
