News at Eleven: Renowned poet Abdul Zahra Zaki took over,

mounting the wreckage of what was once the popular Al-Shabanda cafe to recite a poem entitled "Words, words, words."

Zaki described the wasteland before him, mourned the desolation wrought by the bombers, and concluded, "There is nothing here, there is nothing but burning words."
