Hello. After being in the shadow of my nation's turmoil, I am back. Every weekend (Satuday in Pacific Time) I will be hosting "Yanbania's International News", with top stories from our government.

--Tom Anzer, Yanbania Reporter--

Today's top stories:

- Yanbania converts to Socialism: [Recorded; in the studio]
Our first story today. Yanbania has been unstable under a dictatorship. Earlier today, rebels outside our capital have been staging protests. Despite our dictator's best efforts to calm the rebellion, the rebels were not to be denied their prize. According to the extremist leader, "Our armies are converging on our target. Do not oppose us..."
Later today our leader made a speech:
"I have made a momentus descision. We will embrace our Socialist cause and become part of the greatest government ever concieved: Communism!"
The response to his speech was an overwhelming cheer from the citizens. Expect to see the DEFCON meter fluctuate as Yanbania's army prepares to deal with Capitalist extremists in the upcoming months.

- Military Mobilizing: [Live; in the field]
This just in! According to one of our other journalists, Yanbania's army is beginning a mobilization. We are not sure what is going on. The army [rumbling sounds from tank]... The army is mobilizing for combat in Yanbania's northern sector! [Gunshots from semi-automatics] Oh my ****! This is insane! Rebel Capitalists are attacking. We [gulps] we didn't expect attacks this early!

The rebels just launched a suicide bomber! He, he blew up the Parlimant Building! Oh my gosh!
[Tape statics in between the video]
We [static] will [static] die [static] with [static] dignity!
[Static, then video skips and image turns black and white]
Is it on? Okay, this is Tom. Our main camera just gave out so I'm on a backup. This story could take a few days to document. I'll see you -- Oh my gosh is that a nuclear --
