BBC World: Brian Hanrahan reports from the OSCE Summit in Lisbon on the progress of demonstrations against the cancellation of local election results in Serbia, and increasing international pressure on Milosevic. The international community has warned Milosevic not to use force against the people's attempts to bring about democracy; the U.S. threatens to renew economic sanctions if it does. A statement is made by Carl Bildt, European Mediator for Yugoslavia. Footage included: EC Summit in Lisbon, students throwing rocks at a government building, and policemen lined up at the side of a street. BBC World: The Serbian government ordered the closure of the only two independent stations, accusing them of operating illegally. Five judges of the Supreme Court (which ruled the elections to be fraudulent) have accused their colleagues of election fraud. Paul Wood reports live from Belgrade about the closure of Serbia's only two independent radio stations by Serbian authorities, and the consequences of such an act.
