the place where part of the Marjayoun convoy was hit by
an Israeli drone airstrike. As he reports, another
Israeli drone appears and someone yells to him to get
away from the vehicles.
Also included is an update from Brent Sadler on why the
Israelis attacked this breakaway faction of the convoy.
Length: 5:54
We join CNN International in
the midst of Michael’s report on the convoy of 1500
vehicles leaving Marjayoun. The cars stream past behind
him as he talks about the civilian flight from the
fighting.
Length: 3:23
Michael speaks with Daryn
Kagan from outside Marjayoun as a massive caravan of
civilian vehicles prepares to leave the area.
Length: 3:42

the rockets being launched from the Israeli artillery
position where John Roberts is stationed.)
Length: 5:26

about the possibility of a ceasefire and what would need

byproduct of the broadband connection.)
Length: 3:15
During the second hour of the
show, Michael gives another update from Beirut and
discusses Israeli goals.
(Note:
Due to a technical glitch, there is a high-pitched whine
throughout this clip.
I was unable to remove it but felt the clip was still
viewable so elected to post it.)
Length:
4:28
During the first hour of the
show, Anderson speaks with Michael in Beirut as another
night of bombing continues.
(NOTE:
Because of a technical glitch, I pulled these clips from
the late re-broadcast, hence the “Recorded” notation on
them. The timeclock on the clips reflects the accurate
local time when they originally aired live.)
Length:
8:00

about the airstrikes heard in the last hour.
Length: 3:52
Michael is on the air with

“That was closer.”)
Length: 25:12
After last night’s raid by
the Israelis into the Bekaa Valley town of Baalbek,
Michael spent time there today getting a look at the
results. Three versions of his recorded piece aired on
American Morning, with a video that appears to have been
sent by broadband. First is his original version.
In
the second hour, same voiceover but some new images, many
of them from Lebanese television. Also, a slightly longer
hold on the end reveals his displeasure with the take.
In
hour three, most of the original video is back.

Length: 3:05
Mick does his first prepared
piece for CNN: a trip to a refugee camp of sorts in
southern Lebanon where enemies of Israel are given safe
haven and the nation’s army and police are not allowed
inside. (So of course, the crazy Aussie figures this
would be a good place to visit in the middle of a war...)
Not only is it a fascinating piece, but he gets to use
his FM-DJ voice, do some interviews, and give a
walk-and-talk summation. It’s followed by a live
interview with Anderson.

Wolf talks to Michael about
the military capabilities of Hezbollah -- what, exactly,
do they have in their arsenal and how far into Israel
might they be capable of reaching?
(Not sure whether the “Senior International
Correspondent” banner reflects a promotion or just an
over-eager graphics crew.)
Length: 2:54
CNN/Beirut has finally left
the streetcorner and gone up to a rooftop. Must be
planning to stay awhile...
Mick does not think that al-Zawahiri’s call for jihadis
to come to Lebanon will be much of a success because of
the sectarian issues and the nature of the conflict
there.
(And judging from the “ready to run a marathon” fidgeting
when he thought the camera was off him, Mick’s gotten
used to the god-awful-early-hours he’s keeping over
there!)
Length: 5:30
Wolf talks to Michael
regarding the latest terror-tape from al-Qaeda (wherein
#2 al-Zawahiri expounds that everyone is picking on the
terrorists.)
Length: 4:12
Anderson speaks to Mick
regarding the earlier story he broke that additional
Lebanese forces are fighting alongside Hezbollah. Western
hopes that the Lebanese Army could step in and stop
Hezbollah seem to be seriously misplaced.
Length: 2:44
Larry talks to a panel of CNN
reporters covering the Middle East, including Mick. How
long can Hezbollah hold up against the IDF?
Length: 2:33
It’s just after 8 p.m. in
Beirut, and although Kyra Phillips throws to Mick for an

militia loyal to the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament
has been fighting alongside Hezbollah throughout the
current conflict.
Length: 4:07

Secretary of State Rice arrives to meet with the leaders
of Lebanon and Israel.
