"Good evening, here is the six o'clock news from the BBC in London, England. Top stories tonight. The United states has confirmed that as of midnight tonight, US forces will be joining those of Israel, the UK and the European Union, in opposing the combined forces of Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Libya, Ethiopia, Russia and Turkey."

"The UK Prime Minister, Frank Matthews, has welcomed the news, and stated today that twenty- thousand British troops are on their way to the middle- east."

"President of the E.U, Wolf Schneider, has condemned the actions of both Russia and the part European country of Turkey in their alignment with Iran, and has committed thirty thousand land troops to the coalition."

"Church leaders have warned that the current conflict is exactly as prophesied in the Christian bible and in the frescoes found in Crete a few years ago. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Right Reverend Jonathan Benn, said that he confirms that the conflict was predicted over two-thousand years ago."

"Richard Pickles has been commended by all European heads of state for his prompt action in the defence of Israel, President Schneider stated that Mr. Pickles' actions has saved Israel from an almost certain catastrophe."

"Despite recent events the latest polls suggest that close to eighty percent of Europeans do not believe in the end of the world, or that the event will happen soon, of European government officials, some thirty-five percent believe that the, so called, rapture and tribulation, is immanent. More on those items later."

"As from midnight tonight the U.S. military will be formally engaged in the middle-eastern conflict. [visuals] Today long-range stealth bombers have taken off from several USAF bases and troop carriers have also been recorded leaving army-air force bases. The United States has promised that over one hundred thousand military personnel will be in the middle-east by the end of this month . . .”
