Description

Stephen Sackur of the BBC reports from north-eastern Saudi Arabia, where Brigadier White, logistical commander of the First Armoured Division has said they are ready to start a ground assault. The start of the assault may be some way off though as US forces seem to be in no rush and equipment is still coming in. Sackur ends his first attempt at the report abruptly; a second take follows.
