CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: Weapons inspectors are on the move today, and our Richard Roth is on the phone with us from New York. Richard -- just exactly when are the inspectors leaving?</s>RICHARD ROTH, CNN SENIOR U.N. CORRESPONDENT: Well, late tonight, Hans Blix, the chief United Nations weapons inspector for Iraq, will depart New York City bound for Paris. Talks with the French government, here seen several months ago when talking with the Iraqi government in Vienna, talks that led to this latest breakthrough regarding the return of inspectors. Blix goes to Cyprus this weekend, and then eventually Baghdad Monday morning. Before he leaves New York today, he'll hold a press conference after a torrent of media inquiries from around the world. This rather media-sensitive and rather low-key diplomat arms investigator would rather focus on the inspections at-hand, but obviously he is aware of the intense world interest. It will be Blix's findings when his inspectors go in that may determine the difference between war and peace. Blix will arrive in Cyprus this weekend, along with his fellow inspector, Mohamed Elbaradei, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency. At least 800 sites are on a list they would like to look at. They will revisit sites they have previously examined, plus new places where they will be able to go on a moment's notice. The new Security Council resolution, Catherine, gives them unimpeded, unrestricted access to everything, including those presidential site complexes, which previously had some cumbersome procedures for the inspectors to arrive at -- Catherine.</s>CALLAWAY: And we will soon know how unfettered that access will be. Thank you, Richard -- That's Richard Roth. TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com.
