0:00:24 > 0:00:29My dog has been to two G8s. A G8 dog.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37why they couldn't have a Skype conference.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42All we'd want now is if Obama came up
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and bought the Impartial Reporter here.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I think there's an expectation that we, the local paper,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53needs to produce something special this week.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09In the heart of deepest Fermanagh in the historic town of Enniskillen
0:01:09 > 0:01:13lies the home of one of Northern Ireland's oldest newspapers,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15the Impartial Reporter and Farmer's Journal.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Denzil McDaniel is the latest in a long line of illustrious editors
0:01:20 > 0:01:23who report on all the big stories.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26The Impartial Reporter was founded in 1825
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and the place is just steeped in history.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32These were just some snippets of the stories
0:01:32 > 0:01:33that the Impartial has carried.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37You know, 1830, the death of King George IV.
0:01:37 > 0:01:391837, we include world news,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43the bid by Texas for independence from Mexico.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We always look for world stories, but world stories with a local angle
0:01:46 > 0:01:50and that's kind of a long tradition over nearly 190 years
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and here we are today covering a world story in our own patch.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Denzil's dedicated team of journalists are facing
0:01:57 > 0:02:01one of their greatest challenges, reporting the news
0:02:01 > 0:02:03while the G8 political circus rolls into town.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09A massive press corps has descended
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and a huge ring of steel is being erected around the G8 venue.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21People may be preparing for lockdown,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Award-winning reporter Rodney Edwards has landed an exclusive.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30OK, well, it's four weeks to the G8 summit
0:02:30 > 0:02:32and today the Secretary of State
0:02:32 > 0:02:37is visiting the venue for the summit, the Lough Erne Resort.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I would like to get talking to the Secretary of State
0:02:39 > 0:02:42to ask some questions about the summit.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02A lot of waiting? Yep. All part of the job.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I think some of these people are on Fermanagh time.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Journalist Lily Dane visits the home of Mrs McManus,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13a lady who has just turned 100.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16PEOPLE LAUGH
0:03:16 > 0:03:18You're a fine woman, Mum.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22And what would you attribute the long life to? What is your secret?
0:03:24 > 0:03:30Is there a secret? I don't think there is. I just think you...
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Aren't you a good Christian woman? You've always looked after the poor.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40And you've always been there for your family. So you enjoy life, then?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43You've had an enjoyable 100 years? I do. I do. Great.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Are you going to have a party tomorrow?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48She's having a little family party tomorrow
0:03:48 > 0:03:52and she's having a big, big party on Sunday. Oh, right.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55We're going down to the chapel for mass and then we're going to the...?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Westville Hotel. Westville Hotel. Lovely. Very nice. It's for over 200.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh, my goodness! That's only family and close friends.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06But there's no mention that I'm getting money.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Hello. Hi. Nice to meet you. Rodney Edwards from the Impartial Reporter.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17The Secretary of State. Good to meet you too. Sorry about weather.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Well, I was taking a look and it still looks lovely,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23even in the pouring rain. Absolutely. Absolutely.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26What preparations are currently taking place?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31There's a major policing and security planning process under way.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Inevitably, events like the G8
0:04:35 > 0:04:39come with their fair share of challenges on the security front.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41How many protesters are expected in Fermanagh?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44That's the big question, I think, that we all want the answer to.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Well, there's a lot of research going on
0:04:47 > 0:04:50as to how many protesters might come.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55I think it is never possible to have a reliable figure in advance.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59She swears by a wee cup of tea, don't you?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Back at the party, Mary has 100 years of stories for Lily.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07THEY CHATTER AND LAUGH
0:05:09 > 0:05:12The only time the Impartial Reporter ever came in
0:05:12 > 0:05:16was if you got something in some shop
0:05:16 > 0:05:19and they didn't want to waste good paper,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22they just give you a whack of the...
0:05:22 > 0:05:26So you used it for wrapping paper? That's right.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31One of the groups identified is a group
0:05:31 > 0:05:34that dress up in clown costumes and clown masks
0:05:34 > 0:05:37and they tickle police officers.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Is that a concern of yours?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Whether I'm quite sure exactly how
0:05:41 > 0:05:45people demonstrating in clown outfits would be dealt with,
0:05:45 > 0:05:53I'm sure the police and I will have an appropriate strategy for clowns
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Secretary of State, thank you very much.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59That's OK. I'm delighted to be speaking to the Impartial Reporter for the first time.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Thank you. Of course, the newspaper that broke the story.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You did, didn't you?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07It was one of my colleagues, actually, Julie Kenwell.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11So you got a world scoop, then. Indeed. Indeed, she did very well.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Julie has an even bigger story than G8 to deal with.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21She's at home looking after her newborn.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25It was really down to having local sources in Fermanagh
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and having all your important contacts,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31so whenever we came out that week with the exclusive,
0:06:31 > 0:06:36we knew that we were onto a winner with the story.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I'm planning to go back just for the week of the G8
0:06:39 > 0:06:42because I wouldn't like to miss out on it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Fermanagh,
0:06:45 > 0:06:46but as a journalist,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as well.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Preparation for G8 is in full swing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Derelict shops are getting a lick of paint
0:07:00 > 0:07:04and businesses are set to cash in as the world's great and good
0:07:04 > 0:07:06drop in for a cup of tea or a paper.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11My family's here 44 years and we've been selling it 44 years
0:07:11 > 0:07:14and it's still selling as well as ever.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17The Impartial used to be bought a lot for the death columns,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20because you'd have nice coloured pictures showing the deceased
0:07:20 > 0:07:23and giving the whole details.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I think the G8 is going to be great for the country
0:07:26 > 0:07:29and it's tidied up all the derelict buildings, tidied up...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's put Fermanagh... On the map, yes.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Definitely a big thing getting all the old buildings tidied up.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yes and the roads. And the roads.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40All we'd want now is if Obama came up
0:07:40 > 0:07:42and bought the Impartial Reporter here!
0:07:42 > 0:07:43THEY LAUGH
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I wouldn't think so, but hopefully he'll see it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48You wouldn't know, he might. Take a few copies down to them.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50# On the road again
0:07:51 > 0:07:55# Just can't wait to get on the road again... #
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Staff photographer John McVitty's job
0:07:57 > 0:08:00is to bring local stories to life with great pictures.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02# ..I can't wait to get on the road again... #
0:08:04 > 0:08:08John's task is to get a photograph of the new bypass being opened
0:08:08 > 0:08:11by Minister Danny Kennedy just in time for G8.
0:08:14 > 0:08:20So maybe yourself and the chairman and Henry sort of waving towards...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Or thumbing, whatever, yeah, lovely.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Forget about the car, OK? We are not watching the car?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31So the car is not going to knock us down? Are we a safe distance away?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35And even if you want to lean over with the thumbs, OK?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39We need to be careful about road safety issues.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41You don't have us insured? No.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Make sure I can see you.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46CAR HORN BEEPS Chairman! Chairman!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49SHUTTER CLICKS REPEATEDLY
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Perfect. It's always nice to be satisfied
0:08:55 > 0:08:57when you get the picture at the end of the day.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Journalist Meadhbh Monahan meets local actor Ciaran McMenamin
0:09:06 > 0:09:10to get his views on one of Fermanagh's most contentious issues.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Obviously, you are a Fermanagh man.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Are you proud of your county and its green image
0:09:15 > 0:09:17and do you think that would be
0:09:17 > 0:09:19affected by fracking if it took place?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I think this is the biggest issue for Fermanagh ever, in my eyes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Right, OK.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28In terms of us as a community and what it's going to mean
0:09:28 > 0:09:31and how the place will change for all our children and their children.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36I was just imagining yesterday what the place is going to look like.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I mean, the change that's going to come is insane. I don't...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44As I keep reiterating, I don't think people get that.
0:09:44 > 0:09:51I think we need to become this...solid unit of opposition.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Another huge event next week for Fermanagh, the G8.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58What's your thoughts on that and what it will mean for the county?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04I mean, it's... As the man says, any publicity is good publicity.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06If the sun comes out like this next week
0:10:06 > 0:10:09when all the world's journalists are here, the place will look amazing.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Personally, I don't understand
0:10:11 > 0:10:17why they couldn't have a Skype conference -
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Deputy Editor Sarah Saunderson ensures the arts aren't overlooked
0:10:28 > 0:10:29in the build-up to the summit.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Local writers Bryan Gallaher
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and Marion Maxwell talk about their new show.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Writing is a solitary occupation, so did you research together or
0:10:39 > 0:10:41did you do it separately and then come together?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43A mixture of both it was, wasn't it? Yeah.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46You know, we'd research and we would get together and we would
0:10:46 > 0:10:48argue about what we had decided should be in
0:10:48 > 0:10:51and what should be left out. That's right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55While we are both very interested, totally absorbed in the lore and
0:10:55 > 0:10:57the culture of Lough Erne,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00especially where we were reared, Upper Lough Erne. Yes.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Have you been overwhelmed by the reaction to it, because obviously
0:11:04 > 0:11:09this is back by public demand at
0:11:09 > 0:11:14Well, it was sold out both times before. Both times, yes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It's not for us to say but we have had a lot of compliments,
0:11:18 > 0:11:19I suppose and interest.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22But we have unearthed some interesting stories,
0:11:22 > 0:11:27love stories, menage-a-trois, murder story.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Yes. And why nobody who lived around the shores of Lough Erne
0:11:33 > 0:11:35ever could swim.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Really? Yes. Why is that?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42We'll have to find out! Don't wait. Don't wait.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Wait for the thrilling instalment!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49I think it's very important not to forget about local stories.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55Obviously, the G8 is dominating people's lives as we come into June,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57but life in Fermanagh goes on.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00People go to school, people will sit exams, people go to their work
0:12:00 > 0:12:04and ordinary things are happening as well, so we have to reflect that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Security is a major concern for Fermanagh during G8.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Rodney has secured an interview
0:12:13 > 0:12:15with PSNI Superintendent, Alwyn Barton.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Tell me about the police operation on the water.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25The waterborne patrolling has already started.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31We've had an increasing footprint now of boat patrols deployed
0:12:31 > 0:12:34primarily to provide a presence on the lough.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36What about terrorist activity?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Is it possible that terrorists could travel by water?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43It's something which can't be ruled out.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46It's not something which there is information around at the moment.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49But certainly, it has to be part of our contingency planning
0:12:49 > 0:12:52and it's naive to not plan for it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54So therefore we ensure we cover it. Yes.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Brian Donaldson is meeting a local farming family to see
0:13:02 > 0:13:05how they will cope with disruption during the G8.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Most Fermanagh farms,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17all members of the family are very much part of the farming situation.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24THEY CALL THE COWS
0:13:25 > 0:13:28How's James' Spanish?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31He needs to be more like me. He'll understand quite a lot
0:13:31 > 0:13:35because I speak to the kids in the house in Spanish.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37But he'll speak in his time.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Being a farmer, you do not have much time to go on holidays. No, no.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45But he will understand quite a lot. Yes, yeah.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50One thing which is rather unusual on this farm is that James' wife,
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Alvera, is from Spain. And they've got four children.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00And the three eldest children are all bilingual.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06And it just adds a fantastic international flavour to this
0:14:06 > 0:14:08particular part of the world.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I know you will have members,
0:14:11 > 0:14:16maybe more deeply affected by what is going on surrounding the G8 summit.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19There are guys actually within the inner cordon.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22How will they manage to get their milk out, get their feed in
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and if they had an animal sick, what arrangements are in place?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35With G8 fast approaching, the journalists seek out
0:14:35 > 0:14:37leads for the weekly edition.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Maeve has heard a rumour that there is
0:14:42 > 0:14:44a celebrity in town at the local butchers.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Do their best... It's none other than Eamonn Holmes.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58What do you think of the sort of hysteria that seems to have
0:14:58 > 0:15:02gone over the weekend about this fake villages?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I think if you get boarded-up shops
0:15:05 > 0:15:08and places that look rundown it is a self-fulfilling prophecy
0:15:08 > 0:15:12so whereas it's not ideal, I'm not necessarily against it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16I think that someone who passes through, you want a good impression,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19you want to be able to go back and say that's a nice place to be.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Things are looking well.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Part of the attraction of Enniskillen is that it is rural
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and a rural environment and you do not want it to change so much.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30But you see, look, she's going to create an... She's stopping here
0:15:30 > 0:15:32to take a picture of me with her camera and, you know...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Doesn't matter about the rules and regulations. Look at this!
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Look at this. Quick, quick. Quick, before they...
0:15:40 > 0:15:43She is getting out of the car.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46If you don't ask, you won't get.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Never mind the trucks and the traffic, we'll just delay,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53bring the whole town centre to a standstill. Lisa... I got a picture.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Got it. Did you get one? We just don't want a picture.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59It has to be the picture. Take a look. Lisa is blinking in this.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00We're in trouble.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Is it all right, Lisa?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The Impartial's official photographer John, meanwhile,
0:16:08 > 0:16:09is busy back in the office
0:16:09 > 0:16:12upstairs in the newspaper's photo studio.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Yes, totally relaxed.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20OK, give me a side-on view, please. Just keep that, don't move.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Bring a leg right over the top of it and onto the foot of it. Yes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27On your bum for me, like a good girl. That's it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28On down for me.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Happy, Janice? It was OK, actually, yeah. It wasn't too bad.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48The phone'll be goin' on Thursday morning. Thursday morning.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52I'll be first up, out to the shop to get the Impartial. Super.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56That's what it's all about. Thanks for coming in. Thanks, girls.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Yes, she should enjoy them, now, on Thursday, when the paper comes out.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Back on the street, Eamonn is still stopping traffic.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Lisa, move that car before you get a ticket. Eamonn, nice to meet you.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16That's great. Lovely seeing you, lovely seeing you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19And just finally, what has been the overall reaction from
0:17:19 > 0:17:22the local people you've met about the G8 coming? Positive or negative?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25If they get... Apart from you coming.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27..anywhere near the reaction I've got,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I think everybody is in a frenzy.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Somebody told me they met Colin Farrell and now they have met me,
0:17:33 > 0:17:37they're looking forward to meeting President Obama.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I hope you catch a glimpse of them all. Thank you very much. Not at all.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Appreciate that. OK, all the best. See you, Lisa. Bye-bye.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thank you very much, Niamh.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Niamh, you not want a picture? I'm very annoyed.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52You don't want a picture? Now, see that, she's too cool for school.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54This is me. Can you freeze frame this?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57That's one for Niamh's album.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Or is that Maeve?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Back at HQ,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Deputy Editor Mark Conway is piecing together the weekly edition.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07You know, John just doesn't settle for the ordinary.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I think that's the key to John. He's one of the best in the business,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12no doubt about it. Not only in Fermanagh, but Northern Ireland.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15He's a brilliant news journalist, brilliant sports journalist.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20And a photo like that, we have to use big in the paper for the impact.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Rodney has called a Tweeting in Denzil's office.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33We're hosting a live twitter Q session via our Twitter page
0:18:33 > 0:18:35relating to the G8 summit.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41There's a question from a P7 pupil at Jones Memorial.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45"Is there any chance that school will be closed?"
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Who would like to deliver the bad news?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53"Hearing that the South have powers in place to switch off
0:18:53 > 0:18:57"mobile phone masts if required over the G8?
0:18:57 > 0:19:03"Is there a same plan in the North?"
0:19:03 > 0:19:08the mobile network and that actually was more of a hindrance than a help.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Protestors and campsites. Any more information on that?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Will there be a campsite for protesters?
0:19:14 > 0:19:19It's a matter that is under consideration
0:19:19 > 0:19:22but no decision has been taken at this point in time.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25"Will the Western Education and Library Board be providing
0:19:25 > 0:19:28"free breakfasts for kids who have to get up half an hour earlier,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32"some at 6am to catch a bus at 6:45am?"
0:19:32 > 0:19:36The Catering Service will be having discussions with the schools.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Two miles away in the beautiful venue for G8, Lily has arrived
0:19:49 > 0:19:56to meet chef Noel McMeel who will be cooking for the world leaders.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I have Lily here at reception for you from the Impartial.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Great. Thank you, Noel. Bye.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Photographer John is there too, of course.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11To me, obviously, we'll be covering various aspects of the G8
0:20:11 > 0:20:13and how people are involved.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Noel's obviously Executive Head Chef leading a team.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20So really, it's just an idea of a picture story, possibly.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24And just, you know, how he's going to promote the Northern Ireland produce.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It is very exciting times. Everybody is so excited.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34I think more so, I think when it really all came about in January.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38When our Prime Minister Cameron actually came over
0:20:38 > 0:20:41and announced it was actually going to be in Fermanagh. Yes.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42It's unbelievable.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Well, do you want to talk here, or shall we go outside
0:20:44 > 0:20:47when it's such a nice day? It's such a beautiful day, why not go outside?
0:20:47 > 0:20:48OK, that's great.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Have you any sort of special dishes that you plan to prepare?
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Everyone asks me what kind of dishes are we going to be doing for the G8!
0:20:59 > 0:21:05I can only tell you that it will reflect a lot to do with Fermanagh.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07You know, at this stage,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09do you know what you're actually going to be doing?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11We know exactly what we're doing,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and we're well prepared for it. Can I tell you? No! No!
0:21:14 > 0:21:18You can tell me afterwards, though. Afterwards, yes. Tell me afterwards.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Maybe!
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Back at the newspaper's offices, journalists are responding
0:21:26 > 0:21:29to the tweets and messages from their readers.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Are you all enjoying it so far?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33THEY LAUGH
0:21:38 > 0:21:39On a scale of one to ten,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42how concerned is Barack Obama about the phone signal in Derrygonnelly?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45THEY LAUGH
0:21:45 > 0:21:47You're not to be tweeting, Denzel now, come on!
0:21:47 > 0:21:48THEY LAUGH
0:21:51 > 0:21:52OK.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Green bins, blue bins, they'll all be collected during that time, will they?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58With the exception of those properties that are within
0:21:58 > 0:22:02the exclusion zone, where the road is closed,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05all collections will be as normal.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08OK. Well, thank you all very much.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Hope you enjoyed that!
0:22:12 > 0:22:16We just had a very lively Twitter Q session
0:22:16 > 0:22:19with the G8 delivery group in Fermanagh.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Green bins will be collected, so nobody needs to worry about that.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Nobody knows when things happen, obviously.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39In my business, nobody knows.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42The phone can ring, people can come through my door at any time.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44And we have to act accordingly
0:22:44 > 0:22:48and make things go as smoothly for the family as possible.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54Everybody knows the G8 is here. So we just have to work with that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58During G8, it certainly will prove a wee bit more difficult.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Most graveyards will be open.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Julie, who broke the story, has come back to work just in time for G8.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17It's very strange being back in the office
0:23:17 > 0:23:21after four months of being off and being at home with Alfie.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25But in a way, it almost feels like I haven't been away, too.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I've kind of slipped back into things again.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33And it's nice to be doing something other than changing nappies all day!
0:23:33 > 0:23:34It's quite refreshing.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37And I'm just looking forward to Monday and Tuesday,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39just to be able to soak up the atmosphere
0:23:39 > 0:23:44and see what it's like to be in Fermanagh during the G8.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Denzel has gathered his team for a briefing.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49The big event is the big event.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54But to us, it's much more important that we get how it affects Fermanagh.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57There's no template for this, because, you know,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59as long as we have kind of a set plan of what everybody's doing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02If we keep communicating.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Maeve, you're going to look after the protests.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Julie and Brian, vox pops.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Reports of traffic jams, people affected by disruption.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Schools serving breakfast, etc.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18There's also a slight possibility of an interview
0:24:18 > 0:24:22with Cameron on Tuesday. Did he request it, or did you?!
0:24:22 > 0:24:23It was after Julie, you see.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25He read Julie's piece and thought,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27have to do something with The Impartial!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Yeah, I heard he was asking for an interview
0:24:31 > 0:24:33with the journalist of the year!
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Everybody happy?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44It's the last paper before G8.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Lovely.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Janice and her mum are excited to see
0:24:47 > 0:24:49if her photo shoot has made it into the paper.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Oh, Janice! Oh, no. Oh, they're lovely.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57She's in, and Mum is very proud.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59They really are. She cleans up well!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Brian and John head to the local school to find out
0:25:08 > 0:25:11how disruption might affect the students.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15This is Friday the 14th of June.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19We're trying to find out how many of the students
0:25:19 > 0:25:22had to get up really early.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24What time did you have to get the bus this morning?
0:25:24 > 0:25:31Yeah, at like, 7:10. 7:10? Does that mean getting up at what time?
0:25:31 > 0:25:36About 6.30. 6.30. That's quite early, isn't it? Yeah!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39And it was daylight at that stage, was it? Yeah, bright! Yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45So, is there anybody else earlier than you, do you think,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47coming into school?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Have you heard of anybody getting up really, really early?
0:25:51 > 0:25:536.30 is early enough, I think!
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Meanwhile, Rodney gets wind of another story.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05I've heard a little rumour that somebody is going to be
0:26:05 > 0:26:10staying at the Crom estate over the G8. Who that is, I do not know.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14But that is why I am off to meet Noel Johnson,
0:26:14 > 0:26:18the manager of the West Wing at Crom Castle. I'm going to ask him.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21In fact, I'm going to demand that he tells me who's staying!
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I would love a cup of tea.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37What do you say to Mr Obama?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Is it you have to let the teapot get a bit stronger?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44You think he likes strong tea? He likes strong tea, yeah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Is that what they've told you? Yeah. So you'll be ready for him!
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Good man, Rodney! Does he drink tea? I don't even think he drinks tea.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I have no idea. Green tea, I think. Is that right?
0:26:59 > 0:27:04Close to the G8 venue, Brian gains access inside the ring of steel.
0:27:05 > 0:27:12Anyway, David, we're to see how you're coping with the pressure? Yes!
0:27:14 > 0:27:19So, do you know what is likely to happen, then, you know, coming...?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Well, basically, I think we'll be closed off.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26I was intending to cut the silage, basically, this week.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28But because of the short growth of grass,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30it wasn't basically worthwhile.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33So I don't think now I'm going to get my silage man in
0:27:33 > 0:27:35until after the G8.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Yeah. We're going to get caught up in this rain.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43We can go and stand in here for a minute or so. Yeah.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50As the rain starts, there's time to discuss more ethereal matters.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56So we don't get all sunshine in Fermanagh, anyway!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02If President Obama arrives, if he knocks on the door,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06he'll certainly be invited in! And maybe President Putin as well!
0:28:06 > 0:28:09David, if they jointly agree to send men to Mars,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11it would be a historic agreement, would it?!
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It would be a historic arrangement!
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I would have to consider if they were giving me
0:28:15 > 0:28:17an option of going or not now! I just don't know!
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I just don't think I would maybe be just first.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I would have to give it thought, anyway, before I'd agree to go!
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Back at Crom, Rodney continues to research his story.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Somebody's staying here. We don't know for sure.
0:28:37 > 0:28:45But it would maybe be nice if we got someone. What about Putin?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49We've cleaned the boats out and all! He is a keen fisherman, is he?
0:28:49 > 0:28:50Oh, very keen.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Do you think Michelle drinks a good cup of tea? She drinks green tea.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Does she? Yeah. Have you been told that? Yeah.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59So you have green tea ready for her?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01We'll have the green tea ready for her. Good.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08What do you think she'll make of the Fermanagh rain? She'll love it!
0:29:08 > 0:29:11So it's Michelle Obama, then?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14So, Noel, is this where Putin's going to be sitting?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Or Michelle Obama?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18If they did come, wouldn't it be a beautiful venue for them
0:29:18 > 0:29:19to have something to eat?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22But we have a group of ladies coming from Lisnaskea tonight.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24This is where they're dining.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26So, what you're saying to me is you can't tell me who,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29because you don't know. But when you do know, you will tell me?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32I will, yeah. When I find out. So I'll come back, then? You come back.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Right.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42As the world leaders prepare to arrive,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45award-winning snapper John has braved the roadblocks
0:29:45 > 0:29:49to cover his next assignment, a farming special on sheep shearing.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54# They've never questioned anything, never disagreed
0:29:54 > 0:29:58# Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears
0:29:58 > 0:30:01# And when you see a cane I see a crook... #
0:30:01 > 0:30:06Definitely he's mastered after thousands upon thousands of sheep.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09And as you can see, I haven't mastered it just yet!
0:30:09 > 0:30:11# It's sheep we're up against
0:30:11 > 0:30:14# It's sheep we're up against! #
0:30:14 > 0:30:17If Obama wants to come up here and give it a go,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20we've a spare hand piece...
0:30:20 > 0:30:23he can come and give me a shot for a day if he wants.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Enniskillen has experienced unprecedented levels of security
0:30:38 > 0:30:40in preparation for G8.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44A major land, sea and air operation is under way
0:30:44 > 0:30:48to cope with the massive number of protestors expected.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Two men, one tent, and a dog have shown up.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Rodney and John are on hand to capture the moment.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Down with the G8!
0:30:58 > 0:31:03We'll take you on! Peacefully! We'll dance... We'll dance the G8!
0:31:03 > 0:31:07# We're going to dance you out Going to dance you out. #
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's a bit different for Enniskillen.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Tweeting the life out of it cos it's going to be everywhere, you know,
0:31:16 > 0:31:25it's going to be in lots of papers, so I want to get it out first.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27It's the day before G8
0:31:27 > 0:31:31and the clash between Fermanagh and Cavan in the GAA Ulster Championship
0:31:31 > 0:31:34has been in doubt ever since the summit was announced.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37It's going ahead despite concerns.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Impartial sports journalist Gareth Cauldwell
0:31:39 > 0:31:42is there to cover the story.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45There was the fears that people wouldn't get into the game
0:31:45 > 0:31:48but as you can see there's plenty of people coming in,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50their fears seem to be allayed to an extent.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Traffic's been moving freely through Enniskillen all morning.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55People are going to come in the now.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57We're only an hour away from the start of the game
0:31:57 > 0:31:59and it's beginning to fill up.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I suppose it will impact on the crowd.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I don't think the crowd would be the same as what it was
0:32:04 > 0:32:05if the G8 wasn't happening.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Enniskillen is host to campaigners from around the UK who are using
0:32:18 > 0:32:22the G8 as a platform to highlight world poverty.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24The Most Reverend John Sentamu, Archbishop of York,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27leads a church service for the IF campaign.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Impartial's journalist Brian manages to get a one-to-one.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34So we should work at it. Yes, absolutely. Thank you.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37And it'll be a good thing when it happens. Where did...
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Where was it thought about and started? Enniskillen.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Enniskillen. Absolutely. All right?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Another Impartial reporter? Is he? I hope so.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49And I follow you on Twitter as well. You do? Oh, lovely.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53So you showing me that I was here? Yes. Knew you were here. OK, OK.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Nice to see you. Another reporter. Dominic?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Did you say Dominic? John. Oh, another John.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Which is the Baptist or the beloved?
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Both.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05You can't be both!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16It's the morning of G8 and, despite the empty streets,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18there's a high security presence.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Impartial's editor Denzil is a guest on Good Morning, Ulster.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I'm Karen Patterson, live this morning in Enniskillen...
0:33:26 > 0:33:30When Julie broke the story months ago it was, you know,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32it was an abstract thing.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Oh, wonderful. And we've been building for months.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37And this is the day.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39You get a real sense of excitement building there
0:33:39 > 0:33:40listening to Kelly in Belfast.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43I mean, there's no question about it.
0:33:43 > 0:33:49We talk about the cliche "historic" and it was never more appropriate.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52And there is a certain buzz, there's no question, it's building already.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Just looking at Denzil as we are all sitting around the monitor
0:33:56 > 0:34:01watching that distinct livery of Air Force One touching down in Belfast.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04It is momentous, it's huge, isn't it, Denzil?
0:34:04 > 0:34:05It's the reality of it.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Watching those television pictures, it's actually quite exciting.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Because there's no doubt, you know,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12we've been waiting for this for months.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16There's no doubt that whether G8 leaders...that President Obama
0:34:16 > 0:34:19is the main man and to see him landing at Belfast International
0:34:19 > 0:34:21is... It really brings the reality of it home.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29It's Maeve's job to head to the lake to cover the flotilla protest.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Where are you from and what's your purpose today?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I just got out of Guantanamo, myself.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40LAUGHTER
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Just, really, tell me a bit about why you're here today.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52To pull a sound bite. We don't want to turn the lakelands into wastelands.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05As the world leaders arrive,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08reporter Julie has been sent to the local secondary school.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16We don't know exactly who's coming. OK. We'll wave, anyway.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19What are all your friends saying?
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Whoo!
0:35:22 > 0:35:26I'm sure you'll be ringing home, then, to let everybody know as well.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28As soon as I walk away.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31This is about as exciting as it gets.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40And, of course, there's somebody from the Impartial there.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Yeah, Rodney's there.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45He's got the golden ticket.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47It's all very exciting.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Julie and the crowd have waited well over an hour
0:35:52 > 0:35:55in the hope that the cavalcade will stop.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:36:04 > 0:36:06She can take some consolation, however.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09I think he was waving at me, to be honest.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19In town, a crowd has gathered to protest.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Maeve is at the heart of the story.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I'm here because people are fracking...
0:36:25 > 0:36:29I'm just sick of the lies and people dying for no reason
0:36:29 > 0:36:30and the erosion of human rights.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43As Maeve prepares to walk to the security fence
0:36:43 > 0:36:47with the protestors, G8 marches on at the Resort.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51ALL: Getting louder by the hour!
0:36:52 > 0:36:57ALL: Power!
0:36:57 > 0:37:01ALL: Power to the people!
0:37:01 > 0:37:04ALL: The people got the power!
0:37:07 > 0:37:08The sun sets on Fermanagh
0:37:08 > 0:37:12as the quietest G8 in history bids the county farewell.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18But as Enniskillen relaxes,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22the editor of the Impartial Reporter has a paper to get to press.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28Well, it's now 11 o'clock, Wednesday morning.
0:37:28 > 0:37:28And things are starting to come together.
0:37:28 > 0:37:34It's been an incredible couple of days for everybody.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39But we've now set our stall out to do 25, 26 pieces of coverage of this.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42But I think there's an expectation that we, the local paper,
0:37:42 > 0:37:44needs to produce something special this week,
0:37:44 > 0:37:47there's that added expectation and a bit of added pressure.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50But there's no doubt the staff respond every week
0:37:50 > 0:37:53to that sort of pressure. So we've no doubt we'll do it again this week.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59As the paper is finally printed, the staff of the Impartial can be proud
0:37:59 > 0:38:02of another momentous event in this great newspaper's history.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Back at the G8 venue, doorman Patsy reflects on the big event.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Something I'd never have ever envisioned in my lifetime
0:38:16 > 0:38:19to meet ten world leaders in one place.
0:38:19 > 0:38:26And it's the pinnacle of my career, because, over the years,
0:38:33 > 0:38:37The Impartial Reporter produced an 88-page special edition,
0:38:37 > 0:38:39its headline "Dream big dreams."
0:38:39 > 0:38:41They broke the story of the year
0:38:41 > 0:38:44and award-winning journalist of the year Rodney Edwards did,
0:38:44 > 0:38:48after all, get his scoop - an interview with the Prime Minister.
