:02:05. > :02:09.Have we got any idea what they will be given? There are a number of

:02:18. > :02:22.will have to be housed and somebody will have to do something about

:02:36. > :02:38.starving, dying of thirst on this mountainside and getting
:02:39. > :02:41.them to a place of safety. Yes, of course we should continue to

:02:45. > :02:54.Britain is going to be playing a role in helping to get that to them.

:03:09. > :03:11.is there. I have just got off the phone to the man who is coordinating
:03:12. > :03:20.this whole humanitarian rescue effort. It is his first interview
:03:21. > :03:28.with the broadcast media. He tells me there are 300,000 displaced
:03:29. > :03:34.people, including 50,000 questions. 300,000? 300,000 overall that are in
:03:35. > :03:37.need of rescuing. This is a massive operation. Britain is sending
:03:38. > :03:39.slightly mixed signals.
