Contents Summary

BBC's Martin Bell reports on how people cope with harsh living conditions caused by heavy fighting and cold weather in the besieged city of Sarajevo and Serb-held Grbavica, and the failure of diplomatic measures to bring peace. Bell interviews Sarajevans in a shelter, refugees in the Hotel Europa, and anonymous rape victims from the alleged rape center in Sokolac. The interviews include a young boy who lost his entire family in a massacre near the brewery. Statements included feature David Owen, Radovan Karadzic, Alija Izetbegovic, Safet Tokaca (Bosnian Army commander) and a Bosnian Serb soldier. Serb positions along the old road to Pale are also shown.
