”What's new!”
１）[2003.3.22]「はじめての半歩」シリーズスタート
新シリーズ 「はじめての半歩 その１ カタツムリ族」
2003年3月22日（土）
＜「はじめての半歩」について＞
この「はじめての半歩」シリーズでは、新しいことを何かはじめてみたい、でも何をどうやっていいのかわからない、あるいは誰に何を尋ねたらどういう答えが返ってくるかわからない、という未来派の皆さんに向けて、みなさんの気づきの後押し情報を提供しようと思っています。知っている人にとってはごく当たり前、でも知らない人にとっては、これすらわからなかったら疑問すら浮かばないない、という知識とも知恵とも呼べないような、「気付きの半歩前」であり、「無関心の半歩先」でもあるような、そんな情報を皆さんとシェア出来れば、と願っております。
【本日のお題】 自分が何に向いているか、何からはじめていいか、がわかりません
→自分が何をしたいのか、何が向いているのか、何が出来るのか…この問は、誰もが一度は持つ疑問です。答えは無限にあり、しかもその答えを自分で決めることが出来る。ある人にとってはこの上なく楽しく、他の人にとっては、考えるだけでも面倒くさいこの問。だから、当然、僕があなたのこの問に「○○が向いている」という答えを導き出すことは出来ません。しかし、この「はじめての半歩」の主旨にも書いたように、あなたが自分で気付くための情報提供なら出来ます。そこで「はじめの半歩」第一回の今日はまず、「自分が何をしたいのか」がさっぱり浮かばない皆さんのおかれている状況や、その背景について考えることから始めてみたいと思います。
＜カタツムリ族＞
ネットやテレビでは遠く離れたバグダッドの戦火の模様をリアルタイムで流している昨今、逆に言えば、情報があふれすぎています。とてつもない情報が、皆さんの目の前を通り過ぎています。その中で、僕が最近痛切に感じるのが、10代20代の若い後輩達が、どんどん情報を遮断し、平面的で底の浅い世界に留まっているのではないか、ということです。「自分で必要な情報はこれだけだ」と自分の中にあらかじめ枠を作って、その枠内で情報処理をする、そこを越えたら「興味ない」「感心ない」と無視する。決してその枠を広げようともしない。まるで危険の迫ったカタツムリが殻の中に閉じこもるかのような、カタツムリ世代。僕は高校三年生相手の塾で教え初めて10年目に突入するのですが、ここ2,3年、このような「枠からはみ出せない」「カタツムリ族」が激増していると感じています。[以下略]

２）[2003.3.15] 「タイスルメ その２」
ばた＠バンコク
2003年3月15日 02時13分15秒
バタのタイ通信 その２
14時間の夜行バスとその後のチェンライ現地視察を経て、13日にバンコクに戻ってきました。今日14日はバンコクでのんびり、という予定だったのですが、月末締め切りの原稿手直しに四苦八苦してたバタです。明日はロブリーのＮＧＯ関係者と打ち合わせをしてから、夜中の飛行機で帰国予定｡最後の最後までハードなスケジュールが続きます。明日朝6時半出発なので、あまり長くは書けませんが、今日はタイ通信その２、と題してお送りしたいと思います｡題して、「入口と出口」！
＜入口＞
バンコクの繁華街を歩いていて気づくのは、外国人男性とタイ人女性のカップルと思しき人々。しかもそれはホテルのロビーでもよく見かける。もちろん、純粋にカップルの間柄の人も当然多くいるでしょう。でも、そうではない「怪しいカップル」もまた、このバンコクでは見かけるのです。その男性の目的とは・・・、そう、受験生の青年諸氏には生々しい話ですが、PROSTITUTEそのものなのです。バンコク最大の繁華街パッポン通りに限らず、われわれのホテルの近くにだって、派手に着飾ったタイ女性が通りの観光客に声をかけるバーや、もっといえば上半身裸の女性が踊っていて、その女性を連れ出すことが出来る「ゴーゴーバー｣と呼ばれるような風俗店が、夜になるとかなりの歓声を挙げて繁盛しています。血気盛んな男性諸氏は、国籍や年齢に違わず、そういった怪しい地帯に足を運び、そこで品定めをし、場合によっては「商品」を金銭を支払ってお持ち帰りするのです。
それだけを書けば、某三流週刊誌のような下世話記事に終わってしまいます。しかし、われわれは今回の視察を通して、その出口を既に垣間見たのでした。それは･･･

（１）＜イラク戦＞「フセイン大統領周辺で異常徴候」
イラクのサダム・フセイン大統領の周辺で異常な徴候がみられると、ニューヨークタイムズやワシントンポストなど米国主要メディアが２１日、一斉に報道した。
米マスコミは匿名を要求した米情報官僚の話を引用し、「フセインは２０日未明に発射されたトマホーク巡航ミサイルがバグダッド南部にあるフセイン大統領の家を打撃した際、息子１人または２人とともにその中にいたものと伝えられた」とし「空襲後医療陣を緊急呼び出しする騒ぎがあった」と伝えている。
ＡＰ通信は「米情報機関は初日の空襲でフセインと２人の息子が死亡したのか、傷を負ったのかについて正確にはわからない」とし「空襲後、イラクテレビで放送されたフセイン大統領の対国民演説ビデオテープを分析している」と報道した。
フセイン大統領は空襲後２時間後と１０時間後にテレビに出演し、決死抗戦を促す対国民演説をしている。デジタル拡大技術を利用し、顔面構図を分析した技術者らは「テレビに現れた人物は本物のフセインだ」と明らかにしている。
同官僚は「空襲以後イラク指導部が無力化、または指導部と野戦司令官らとの連絡が断絶したという初期徴候をとらえた」とし「イラク指導部が混乱しているという楽観論が広がっている」と話している。

（２）冷遇された日本「開戦１０分前に通報を受けた」
米国務省副長官からイラク攻撃開始わずか１０分前に開戦の通報を受けた日本政府内で「米国から冷遇された」という雰囲気が起きていると東京新聞が２１日報道した。
リチャードアーミテージ国務省長官が２０日、総理官邸にいた竹内行夫外務省事務次官に電話で通報したのは攻撃開始１０分前の午前１１時３０分ごろだった。竹内はまもなく小泉純一郎首相に報告した。当時川口順子外相は国会に出席中だった。
東京新聞は「１９９１年の湾岸戦争時は攻撃開始３０分前、２００１年のアフガニスタン攻撃時は約１時間前に国務長官が駐米大使と首相に通報していた」とし「首相周辺では今回も「攻撃を支持した同盟国として、米国が開戦１時間ほど前には通告してくる」という見方もあったが、はるかに遅れた上に連絡した関係者の格も下がり、裏切られた格好になったと報道した。
韓国に対してはディック・チェイニー副大統領が２０日午前８時４０分、盧武鉉（ノ・ムヒョン）大統領に電話をかけ、開戦の通報をしたと青瓦台（チョンワデ、大統領府）は明らかにした。

（３）米「戦争中の北朝鮮接触を凍結」
米政府が北朝鮮に対し「イラク戦争中はあらゆる水面下接触を凍結する」と通報したと、朝日新聞が２１日報じた。
同紙は米国務省消息筋を引用し「政権の運命をかけてイラク戦争を開始した米政府は、北朝鮮がイラク戦争に合わせて何か仕掛けてくるという懸念のもと、今週初めに北朝鮮側に『当分は北朝鮮国連代表部などあらゆる接触ラインを凍結する』と通報した」と伝えた。同紙は「第２のイラクになることを恐れている北朝鮮が、元米政府高官を通じて『対話に応じなければミサイル発射実験も辞さない』と挑発的な意思を示したが、米国は無視することを決めた」と明らかにした。
一方、北朝鮮がイラク戦争に合わせて挑発行動をする可能性に備え、日本政府は航空自衛隊所属の空中警戒管制機（ＡＷＡＣＳ）Ｅ７６７を東海（トンへ、日本名・日本海）上空に配置する案を検討していると、日本のメディアが２１日報じた。これは、今月初めから警戒管制機で東海上から対北朝鮮監視活動を行っている在日米軍側の要請に従ったものという。

Reporters' Log: War in Iraq
The BBC's unrivalled team of correspondents is bringing you news from
the Gulf and reaction from around the world. On this page BBC News Online
logs their impressions and personal experiences as they watch events
unfold.
Most recent postings are at the top.
Baghdad :: Paul Wood :: 1427GMT
It's about an hour away from darkness here in Baghdad.
There is still traffic on the streets but people are hurrying home.
They don't want to be here after darkness falls especially with the
fears that it might be a much heavier attack even than that which we
saw last night.
They will be remembering the earth shaking explosions here last night
and there is a great deal of tension and anxiety in the air now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Umm Qasr, Iraq :: Adam Mynott :: 1358GMT
There are still pockets of resistance here in Umm Qasr. US marines are
patrolling the streets of the town trying to flush out the last remaining
Iraqi opposition.
They say they have managed to largely clear the new port and the old
port, they say, is now almost secure.
This port - Iraq's only deep water port - is absolutely vital to the
coalition aim to use for the delivery of vital humanitarian aid.
They hope to open the port within the next two days.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Southern Iraq :: Gavin Hewitt :: 1321GMT
We are deep into Southern Iraq, certainly well over 100 kilometres north
from the border. We've been driving for over 11 hours.
In the last few minutes we just crossed over the Basra-Baghdad highway.
We've had several bizarre incidents in the last few minutes of drivers
on the highway completely unaware that American armour may be this far
north, stopping their vehicles in utter amazement as we crossed the
highway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Iraq :: John Simpson :: 1250GMT
The fog of war is almost total here in Northern Iraq, but the assumption
is that the American special forces who are operating between the Kurdish
and Iraqi front lines have been staging some kind of attack on the vast
oilfields outside Kirkuk, which are still under Saddam Hussein's control.
They have established a command post which is clearly visible from the
Kurdish forward positions, and the Americans there showed a keen interest
in the attack, which went on for almost an hour.
The American forces are here clandestinely and the Kurdish ones - who've
been officially placed under American control - are largely kept in
the dark, so it's proved impossible to find out precisely what was being
attacked.
But it does seem highly likely that the American special forces are
here to secure the Kirkuk oilfields, and the battle for them may now
have begun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faw peninsula, southern Iraq :: Jonathan Charles :: 1212GMT
RAF Chinook and Puma helicopters have made flight after flight to the
Faw peninsula, hurrying reinforcements to the hundreds of Royal Marines
already there.
They are hoping to strengthen the force which is trying to stop Saddam
Hussein blowing up his oil fields, making it powerful enough to deal
with any Iraqi counterattack.
As we flew in with the Marines we had a sombre reminder of our own vulnerability;
we passed by the site where another helicopter carrying Marines crashed
earlier today, killing all those on board. A black hole in the sand
marks the spot.
One RAF pilot I spoke to told me this mission is a family business.
His brother is one of the Marines going in. He said he was proud of
what they were both doing, but admitted it was very worrying for their
parents.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Kuwait :: Caroline Wyatt :: 1135GMT
We're hearing increased air activity, from where we are, heading over
from Kuwait into Iraq. We're not sure what that is, whether it's further
bombing raids for example of perhaps reconnaissance missions.
When we woke up this morning, we could see the sky blackened behind
us which suggested there were oil wells on fire. We've since been told
there are perhaps 30 that have been torched by Iraqi troops, but both
British and American troops are enclosing round that area.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Southern Iraq :: Gavin Hewitt :: 1130GMT
I'm with a column from the American Third Infantry division deep inside
Iraq. We've now been driving for nine hours - left the Kuwaiti-Iraqi
border at about 4.30am; we're still driving.
We did stop for an hour for refuelling - the refuelling was done very
quickly; then we continued, pushed in a generally northerly direction.
We've encountered no Iraqi opposition. We've seen very few Iraqi people
as we're by-passing centres of population.
So far this is just a big drive north, and I think part of the intention
is to persuade the Iraqi people of the enormity of the American power
and to persuade the local population that there's not much purpose in
resisting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cairo :: Mark Doyle :: 1108GMT
The Al-Azhar mosque complex in Cairo is surrounded by thousands of armed
riot police. Their modern riot control gear - water cannon and radios
- contrast with the ancient minarets and intricate stonework of the
mosque.
Inside, Sheikh Sayyid Tantawi, one of the world's leading Islamic clerics,
expressed solidarity with the people of Iraq. We must stand, he said,
by the side of the persecuted.
As soon as formal prayers were over, a great roar of protest went up
inside the huge interior courtyard of Al-Azhar. The people's protest
had begun. With all our blood and soul, they cried, we are with Iraq,
death to Bush, long live the people of Baghdad.
The riot police then locked the doors to control the crowd and the faithful
banged on the doors, straining to get out and continue their protests.
The streets and alleyways of ancient Islamic Cairo are now thronging
with chanting crowds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuwait City :: Jon Sopel :: 1055GMT
The air raid sirens went off about 40 minutes ago.
As we were putting on our gas masks you could hear two distinct booms
quite a long way North.
The Kuwaiti defence ministry are saying they shot down an incoming missile
with a Patriot missile - we don't know what the target was but the Patriot
missile seems to have done its job because we've been given the all-clear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baghdad :: Rageh Omaar :: 1040GMT
The streets of Baghdad are busy today and it feels like a normal Friday
in the Iraqi capital. It's very different to the day after the first
night of bombing when people stayed indoors.
There are lots of people milling around and I think what we can take
from that is that ordinary people are taking on board that despite two
nights of bombardments, these are carefully selected targets which are
being hit.
The so-called shock and awe campaign is not taking place, perhaps that's
why people are venturing out but I'm sure once dusk falls people will
go to their homes again and the city will be deserted.
I was just talking to a soldier who said his forces had not been affected
by the bombing and they would stand firm. He was beginning to vent a
lot of anger and it seemed it was quite genuine - whether it was nervous
anger it's impossible to say
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New port of Umm Qasr, Iraq :: Adam Mynott :: 1025GMT
US Marines have raised the United States flag above the gates of the
new port in Umm Qasr.
This is a symbolic gesture but doesn't signify that the new port of
Umm Qasr has been secured.
US Marines are continuing to carry out a sweep with soldiers on all
four corners of the port.
At the moment, the main entrance is clear as indeed is a mosque close
to the entrance of the new port.
But other areas of the large complex remain unsecured by US forces.
The new port in Umm Qasr moves about 3500 tonnes of goods a day. It
is a vital part of the oil for food programme which has been run by
Iraq and the UN and various others since 1991.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Iraq :: Gavin Hewitt :: 1015GMT
We crossed with the American 3rd Infantry Division into Iraq at about
4:30 local time.
The tanks moved through a hole which had been cut in the demilitarised
zone.
We formed initially a long column, tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles
and then later on, we spread out over the desert and currently there
is a formation about four kilometres wide of armour moving forward.
We are about now thirty to forty kilometres inside Iraq and we have
not found any resistance from the Iraqis so far.
The only people we have met have been those herding goats and camels.
Some of them have given a friendly wave.
We are continuing to push forward well inside Iraq.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Iraq :: John Simpson :: 0950GMT
There are all sorts of signs of battle here.
We've heard bombs falling, anti-aircraft fire but it is at some distance.
It has also come to us, unconfirmed, that the oil-fields, possibly the
city of Kirkuk have been secured by US Special Forces.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ark Royal :: Matthew Price :: 0930GMT
Last night D company left the ship at about 4am for the Southern tip
of Iraq.
I was up on deck when they left - it was a very eerie sight.
The moon was just about coming through a thick and heavy mist.
These guys were laden-down with kit , plodding along the deck, pretty
heavy-footed, weapons in hand.
Then they all lined up and climbed into the helicopters and headed off
to Iraq.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuwaiti border :: Andrew North :: 0850GMT
It's an impressive sight, this taskforce of more than seven thousand
Marines, spread out across the desert ready to move.
There are literally hundreds of vehicles lined up in formation. Commanders
are not releasing details of where they'll be going or when.
But they say when they get the order they'll move into Iraq at high
speed.
Their preparations to move follow a night of heavy bombardment of areas
of southern Iraq just across the border.
At times flashes from explosions were lighting up the sky in several
different directions.
There was a near constant artillery barrage. US forces, based behind
Task Force Tarawa fired repeated volleys of rockets at Iraqi positions
over the heads of the Marines here, and for several hours you could
see a flame burning brightly on the horizon, which some Marine officers
here believe was an Iraqi oil well on fire.

Kuwait City :: Ryan Dilley :: 0742GMT
Things always look better in the morning - even missile alerts.
Rushed for shelter underground three stomach-churning times during the
night.
The first siren of the morning sees me back in the basement but with
noticeably fewer companions.
It could be a sign that yesterday the false alarms and news that US-led
forces have pushed well into Iraq have calmed the nerves of people here
enough for them to ignore the sirens.
However war may now have come to Kuwait city in another way. All around
the capital, low on the horizon, lies a grey fog.
The haze, through which the desert sun shines weakly, comes perhaps
from an oil well, reportedly set on fire from the Iraqi side of the
nearby border.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Iraq :: Stuart Hughes :: 0730GMT
The Kurdish Peshmerga fighters are amassing in large numbers in the
town of Cham Chamal on the northern frontline.
Their commander told me they've been given orders to prepare for an
assault on Ansar Al-Islam, the militant group allegedly linked to Al-Qaeda,
which is based in the mountains above Halabja.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divisional HQ, Northern Kuwait :: Kylie Morris :: 0650GMT
We've had a fairly sleepless night.
We've spent a lot of it in these 'scud bunkers' as they're being called.
There were four or five warnings overnight, which meant that we had
to race down into the shelters.
You sit there with your gas mask and on it's a good time to contemplate
your life and its value.
You hear thumps all around you and it's very difficult to ascertain
how close the missiles are.
We do believe that one of those missiles landed only 300m from the American
camps.
There was also the sound of very heavy artillery all night and a lot
of air traffic, so a sense that this is well and truly underway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baghdad :: Andrew Gilligan :: 0625GMT
We're not free to move around the city so it's difficult to assess the
extent of the damage in Baghdad but once again this was a night of relatively
small operations.
I did witness the demolition of a ministerial building complex by cruise
missiles. Simultaneously about five separate points of explosion appeared
at the base of the building and it was very swiftly engulfed in flames.
I've driven past it this morning and although not demolished it has
been rendered completely unusable.
The attack may have been spectacular but it really only lasted for about
15 minutes and after that calm resumed for the rest of the night.
This isn't the devastating blitzkrieg, the shock and awe that has been
talked of, it's more like mild surprise than awe I'd say.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Iraq :: John Simpson :: 0615GMT
We've been listening to gunfire in the last few minutes.
It looks like a large American force will be arriving here very soon
- they could come by road or by air.
It's all terribly uncertain here at the moment though, largely because
the American Special Forces are running things and the Kurds, who we're
with, are not being told very much.
But there is certainly a sense of tension and a sense of expectation
that down this road or in the sky above us there will be some action
quite soon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Southern Iraq :: Adam Mynott :: 0535GMT
Just a few yards inside the border we've come under what looks like
fairly stiff resistance.
There was a firefight for ten or 15 minutes and the vehicles that we
were in have now retreated back and I'm taking cover behind a sandbank.
There is smoke billowing away in the distance and the situation is still
unclear.
There's so much smoke around it's very hard to tell whether any of the
convoy has been hit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Southern Iraq :: Clive Myrie:: 0525GMT
The Royal Marines are very much in control of this part of Southern
Iraq.
I've seen scores and scores of Iraqis, some carrying white flags, giving
themselves up.
There's absolutely no doubt that many of these men don't want to fight.
There were a couple of fire-fights at the start of the evening but by
and large most of the Iraqis have decided they may as well try to give
themselves up and preserve themselves.
We have seen some dead bodies littered around the bunker complex here.
We're not entirely sure what the next stage is from here, but there
have been a number of POWs taken already.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doha :: Paul Adams :: 0515GMT
We're getting dramatic reports of the advancement of the American seventh
cavalry.
This is an American armoured thrust into Iraq, it is proceeding across
open desert at a rapid pace.
This is the armoured push that is going to head to Baghdad.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Kuwait :: Kyle Morris :: 0510GMT
In northern Kuwait at sunrise there was a thick layer of smoke in the
sky.
It is not clear whether it is being caused by oil fires or the bombing
and artillery campaign launched overnight in south Iraq.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Southern Iraq :: Adam Mynott :: 0429GMT
I'm with the marines expeditionary unit and we have been moving forward
for the past hour. It has been a night of intense artillery activity.
Earlier we passed British guns which were pounding away deep into Iraq.
We have not come under fire but we know that Echo Company ahead of us
have. It looks like fairly light resistance. The sky is black but it's
difficult to tell at the moment whether or not that's cloud or smoke.
I suspect it's smoke.
The morale among the soldiers is pretty high - though perhaps introspective.
But given the pretty heavy pounding given to the Iraqi forces during
the night they are feeling fairly positive.
I'm in a truck with about twenty men, it is very cramped.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Southern Iraq :: David Willis :: 0426GMT
A massive convoy of US marines and members of the British parachute
regiment have entered into Iraq.
A long convoy of vehicles including tanks and artillery set out across
the desert after nightfall and snaked their way across the border. We
are now heading for the southern oilfields.
It's thought these marines will attempt to secure the oilfields from
attack by Saddam Hussein's army.
It is very dusty here and I feel I have inhaled an entire beach load
of sand while travelling during the night.
We came across some camels as we crossed the desert and an old shell
from the last Gulf war.
We've stopped now to allow them to do some shelling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuwait Iraq border :: Adam Mynott :: 0403GMT
I'm with the marines expeditionary unit and we're just about to cross
the border into Iraq. I can't tell you where we are or where we're going.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sydney, Australia :: Phil Mercer :: 0308GMT
Defence officials here have said Australian special forces have crossed
into Iraq to identify troop movements and military targets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pentagon :: Nick Childs :: 0229GMT
I am hearing from a defence source here that a US helicopter has crashed,
it's believed to have happened in Kuwait. There were both US and British
personnel on board. It is believed the crash was an accident.
As far as the overall campaign is concerned the Pentagon officials are
tight lipped. We are seeing though a lot of activity both in terms of
air strikes and with US and UK ground troops.
The war plan as it has unfolded has not been what we were expecting.
The "shock and awe" campaign as advertised by the US military has not
yet happened.
It has been a feverish day at the Pentagon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doha, Qatar :: Peter Hunt :: 0215GMT
We are waiting here in this featureless hangar in Qatar for news of
the ongoing operations.
We do know there is a major operation going on in the Al Faw peninsula
in southern Iraq involving both British Royal marines and their American
compatriots. They are under the command of the British, the first time
this has happened since World War II
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pentagon :: Nick Childs :: 0120GMT
One thing that the Pentagon have been anxious to do all along has been
to maintain tactical surprise and I think we are still guessing whether
the main operation is underway.
It's not clear how far forward the ground forces are moving but there
is a gradual increase in escalation.
US generals are watching for the reaction from the Iraqis to see if
they have to go to the full scale all out war.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuwait City :: Duncan Kennedy :: 0112GMT
We haven't had any air raid sirens now for a while in the city. There
have been numerous overnight here.
We now know that nine missiles have come in the direction of Kuwait
itself. There have been no injuries and we believe the missiles have
gone down in the desert or in the sea.
Kuwaiti people are shocked, they thought the military operations would
be heading north and not south. They are angry that the are the focus
of attack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EU summit, Brussels :: Chris Morris :: 0058GMT
There has been a tense meeting between Tony Blair and Jacque Chirac
at this summit. The atmosphere was described as icy and difficult.
Two of Europe's biggest partners are at daggers drawn over this war.
If Europe is to function effectively it needs Mr Blair and Mr Chirac
to work together. Fences can still be mended but it will take time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAF Fairford :: Jane Hughes :: 0030GMT
I'm at the RAF Fairford base in Gloucestershire where American bombers
have been on standby now for several days.
There are 14 B52 bombers lined up on the runway here at the moment.
We believe that they are loaded with munitions.
There is a real sense of anticipation here but no one knows if these
planes will be deployed in the next few hours. Gloucestershire police
says it is deployed armed units at RAF Fairford now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuwait City:: James Shaw :: 0014GMT
There have been seven air raid warnings in Kuwait city tonight. There
are reports of missiles being launched towards Kuwait but this is unconfirmed
as yet.
The are normally about 50 people inside the bunkers at any one time.
We are well equipped with protective clothing and masks. Everyone is
taking picture of each other in the bunker, it is very surreal.
There is now a risk of complacency here with further warnings.
Once the sirens started sounding here today, everything closed down.
There are checkpoints now where you wouldn't normally expect them. It
has turned into a ghost city.
Blair calls for unity over war
