- Jonathan Annells reports from Peking, where protesters are continuing their defiance of the army crackdown. Latest reports speak of troops opening fire on unarmed cyclists, chanting Animals, animals. There is still confusion about the overall death toll after a weekend of carnage. Highest estimates put the figure at seven thousand. Annells says that, incredibly, the Chinese people are somehow getting on with life as normal. Male studio reporter not identified.
