| 0:00.0 | It's Monday, October 21st, 2024. |
| 0:07.7 | I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events |
| 0:11.8 | from a Christian worldview. We have to start today in |
| 0:14.8 | Israel and the big question in Israel is what comes next. That what comes next is a big question |

| 1:22.5 | Another headline, |
| 1:23.5 | On the Run, Hurt, yet ever defiant. |
| 1:26.0 | That's about the last hours and days of Yaya Sinwar, |
