itself. so there seemed to be an inconsistency there, if you will. certainly judging by the gunfire we can hear right now, we don't know what's causing it but certainly there are weapons out there tonight and they're being used. >> you talked about journalists being welcomed but have there also been some restrictions while you've been on the ground there? >> reporter: gunshots going off again. oh, several gunshots. we're being told here that there is no restriction on what we can do. we've only just arrived so it's going to be very, very difficult for me to be tiebl sable to to t are the limitation that say we can do. i've talked to some journalists who have been here 24 hours and they told me indeed they have been able to drive around in the city and stop where they want to and talk to people where they want to, but they haven't been allowed to go out beyond the confines of the city.
