| 0:00.0 | Good evening. This is John Batchelor. We begin in Gaza asking the question is |
| 0:06.8 | Mohammed D. KIA. The air circle was several days past. The Israelis have not confirmed. There is |
| 0:16.0 | talk that it's highly probable. Hamas claims not. No evidence on either side. |
| 0:22.1 | Mohammed D. F. Number two No evidence on either side. |
| 0:23.0 | Mohammed D. |
| 0:24.0 | Number two, the man who planned October 7th. |
| 0:28.0 | Synwar is number one, remaining on the one of dead or alive list. |
| 0:35.0 | Is Deaf dead? |

| 1:38.2 | judge so that the only recourse left was to end the case, to throw it out. The attorney general and Mr Smith will now appeal the process that could take up to a year. |
| 1:51.5 | Odd behavior. |
| 1:53.0 | And then a conversation with Ann Stevenson Yang and Gordon Chang about the third plenum meeting in Beijing. |
| 2:01.0 | Chinese economy is broken. There's no magic thinking. The Chinese |
| 2:06.6 | Communist Party has traded prosperity and instead taken up the club. |
| 2:17.4 | Greg Scarlattu on the famine suggested in North Korea. |
