My dog has been to two G8s. A G8 dog. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
why they couldn't have a Skype conference. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
All we'd want now is if Obama came up | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
and bought the Impartial Reporter here. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
I think there's an expectation that we, the local paper, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
needs to produce something special this week. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
In the heart of deepest Fermanagh in the historic town of Enniskillen | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
lies the home of one of Northern Ireland's oldest newspapers, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
the Impartial Reporter and Farmer's Journal. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Denzil McDaniel is the latest in a long line of illustrious editors | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
who report on all the big stories. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
The Impartial Reporter was founded in 1825 | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
and the place is just steeped in history. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
These were just some snippets of the stories | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
that the Impartial has carried. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
You know, 1830, the death of King George IV. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
1837, we include world news, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
the bid by Texas for independence from Mexico. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
We always look for world stories, but world stories with a local angle | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
and that's kind of a long tradition over nearly 190 years | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
and here we are today covering a world story in our own patch. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Denzil's dedicated team of journalists are facing | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
one of their greatest challenges, reporting the news | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
while the G8 political circus rolls into town. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
A massive press corps has descended | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
and a huge ring of steel is being erected around the G8 venue. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
People may be preparing for lockdown, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
Award-winning reporter Rodney Edwards has landed an exclusive. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
OK, well, it's four weeks to the G8 summit | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
and today the Secretary of State | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
is visiting the venue for the summit, the Lough Erne Resort. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
I would like to get talking to the Secretary of State | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
to ask some questions about the summit. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
A lot of waiting? Yep. All part of the job. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
I think some of these people are on Fermanagh time. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Journalist Lily Dane visits the home of Mrs McManus, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
a lady who has just turned 100. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
PEOPLE LAUGH | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
You're a fine woman, Mum. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
And what would you attribute the long life to? What is your secret? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
Is there a secret? I don't think there is. I just think you... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:30 | |
Aren't you a good Christian woman? You've always looked after the poor. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
And you've always been there for your family. So you enjoy life, then? | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
You've had an enjoyable 100 years? I do. I do. Great. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
Are you going to have a party tomorrow? | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
She's having a little family party tomorrow | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
and she's having a big, big party on Sunday. Oh, right. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
We're going down to the chapel for mass and then we're going to the...? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
Westville Hotel. Westville Hotel. Lovely. Very nice. It's for over 200. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Oh, my goodness! That's only family and close friends. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
But there's no mention that I'm getting money. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
Hello. Hi. Nice to meet you. Rodney Edwards from the Impartial Reporter. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
The Secretary of State. Good to meet you too. Sorry about weather. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Well, I was taking a look and it still looks lovely, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
even in the pouring rain. Absolutely. Absolutely. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
What preparations are currently taking place? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
There's a major policing and security planning process under way. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
Inevitably, events like the G8 | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
come with their fair share of challenges on the security front. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
How many protesters are expected in Fermanagh? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
That's the big question, I think, that we all want the answer to. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Well, there's a lot of research going on | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
as to how many protesters might come. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
I think it is never possible to have a reliable figure in advance. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
She swears by a wee cup of tea, don't you? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Back at the party, Mary has 100 years of stories for Lily. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
THEY CHATTER AND LAUGH | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
The only time the Impartial Reporter ever came in | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
was if you got something in some shop | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
and they didn't want to waste good paper, | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
they just give you a whack of the... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
So you used it for wrapping paper? That's right. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
One of the groups identified is a group | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
that dress up in clown costumes and clown masks | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
and they tickle police officers. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
Is that a concern of yours? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
Whether I'm quite sure exactly how | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
people demonstrating in clown outfits would be dealt with, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
I'm sure the police and I will have an appropriate strategy for clowns | 0:05:45 | 0:05:53 | |
Secretary of State, thank you very much. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
That's OK. I'm delighted to be speaking to the Impartial Reporter for the first time. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
Thank you. Of course, the newspaper that broke the story. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
You did, didn't you? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
It was one of my colleagues, actually, Julie Kenwell. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
So you got a world scoop, then. Indeed. Indeed, she did very well. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
Julie has an even bigger story than G8 to deal with. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
She's at home looking after her newborn. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
It was really down to having local sources in Fermanagh | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
and having all your important contacts, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
so whenever we came out that week with the exclusive, | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
we knew that we were onto a winner with the story. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
I'm planning to go back just for the week of the G8 | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
because I wouldn't like to miss out on it. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Fermanagh, | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
but as a journalist, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as well. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Preparation for G8 is in full swing. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Derelict shops are getting a lick of paint | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
and businesses are set to cash in as the world's great and good | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
drop in for a cup of tea or a paper. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
My family's here 44 years and we've been selling it 44 years | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
and it's still selling as well as ever. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
The Impartial used to be bought a lot for the death columns, | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
because you'd have nice coloured pictures showing the deceased | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
and giving the whole details. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
I think the G8 is going to be great for the country | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
and it's tidied up all the derelict buildings, tidied up... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
It's put Fermanagh... On the map, yes. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Definitely a big thing getting all the old buildings tidied up. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
Yes and the roads. And the roads. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
All we'd want now is if Obama came up | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
and bought the Impartial Reporter here! | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
I wouldn't think so, but hopefully he'll see it. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
You wouldn't know, he might. Take a few copies down to them. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
# On the road again | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
# Just can't wait to get on the road again... # | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
Staff photographer John McVitty's job | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
is to bring local stories to life with great pictures. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
# ..I can't wait to get on the road again... # | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
John's task is to get a photograph of the new bypass being opened | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
by Minister Danny Kennedy just in time for G8. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
So maybe yourself and the chairman and Henry sort of waving towards... | 0:08:14 | 0:08:20 | |
Or thumbing, whatever, yeah, lovely. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
Forget about the car, OK? We are not watching the car? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
So the car is not going to knock us down? Are we a safe distance away? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
And even if you want to lean over with the thumbs, OK? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
We need to be careful about road safety issues. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
You don't have us insured? No. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Make sure I can see you. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
CAR HORN BEEPS Chairman! Chairman! | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
SHUTTER CLICKS REPEATEDLY | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
Perfect. It's always nice to be satisfied | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
when you get the picture at the end of the day. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
Journalist Meadhbh Monahan meets local actor Ciaran McMenamin | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
to get his views on one of Fermanagh's most contentious issues. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
Obviously, you are a Fermanagh man. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Are you proud of your county and its green image | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
and do you think that would be | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
affected by fracking if it took place? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
I think this is the biggest issue for Fermanagh ever, in my eyes. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
Right, OK. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
In terms of us as a community and what it's going to mean | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
and how the place will change for all our children and their children. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
I was just imagining yesterday what the place is going to look like. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
I mean, the change that's going to come is insane. I don't... | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
As I keep reiterating, I don't think people get that. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
I think we need to become this...solid unit of opposition. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:51 | |
Another huge event next week for Fermanagh, the G8. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
What's your thoughts on that and what it will mean for the county? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
I mean, it's... As the man says, any publicity is good publicity. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
If the sun comes out like this next week | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
when all the world's journalists are here, the place will look amazing. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
Personally, I don't understand | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
why they couldn't have a Skype conference - | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
Deputy Editor Sarah Saunderson ensures the arts aren't overlooked | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
in the build-up to the summit. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:29 | |
Local writers Bryan Gallaher | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
and Marion Maxwell talk about their new show. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Writing is a solitary occupation, so did you research together or | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
did you do it separately and then come together? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
A mixture of both it was, wasn't it? Yeah. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
You know, we'd research and we would get together and we would | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
argue about what we had decided should be in | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
and what should be left out. That's right. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
While we are both very interested, totally absorbed in the lore and | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
the culture of Lough Erne, | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
especially where we were reared, Upper Lough Erne. Yes. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
Have you been overwhelmed by the reaction to it, because obviously | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
this is back by public demand at | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
Well, it was sold out both times before. Both times, yes. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:14 | |
It's not for us to say but we have had a lot of compliments, | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
I suppose and interest. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
But we have unearthed some interesting stories, | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
love stories, menage-a-trois, murder story. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
Yes. And why nobody who lived around the shores of Lough Erne | 0:11:28 | 0:11:33 | |
ever could swim. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Really? Yes. Why is that? | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
We'll have to find out! Don't wait. Don't wait. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
Wait for the thrilling instalment! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
I think it's very important not to forget about local stories. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Obviously, the G8 is dominating people's lives as we come into June, | 0:11:49 | 0:11:55 | |
but life in Fermanagh goes on. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
People go to school, people will sit exams, people go to their work | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
and ordinary things are happening as well, so we have to reflect that. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
Security is a major concern for Fermanagh during G8. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
Rodney has secured an interview | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
with PSNI Superintendent, Alwyn Barton. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
Tell me about the police operation on the water. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
The waterborne patrolling has already started. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
We've had an increasing footprint now of boat patrols deployed | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
primarily to provide a presence on the lough. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
What about terrorist activity? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
Is it possible that terrorists could travel by water? | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
It's something which can't be ruled out. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
It's not something which there is information around at the moment. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
But certainly, it has to be part of our contingency planning | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
and it's naive to not plan for it. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
So therefore we ensure we cover it. Yes. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Brian Donaldson is meeting a local farming family to see | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
how they will cope with disruption during the G8. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Most Fermanagh farms, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
all members of the family are very much part of the farming situation. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
THEY CALL THE COWS | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
How's James' Spanish? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
He needs to be more like me. He'll understand quite a lot | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
because I speak to the kids in the house in Spanish. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
But he'll speak in his time. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
Being a farmer, you do not have much time to go on holidays. No, no. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
But he will understand quite a lot. Yes, yeah. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
One thing which is rather unusual on this farm is that James' wife, | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
Alvera, is from Spain. And they've got four children. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
And the three eldest children are all bilingual. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
And it just adds a fantastic international flavour to this | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
particular part of the world. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
I know you will have members, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
maybe more deeply affected by what is going on surrounding the G8 summit. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
There are guys actually within the inner cordon. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
How will they manage to get their milk out, get their feed in | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
and if they had an animal sick, what arrangements are in place? | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
With G8 fast approaching, the journalists seek out | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
leads for the weekly edition. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
Maeve has heard a rumour that there is | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
a celebrity in town at the local butchers. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
Do their best... It's none other than Eamonn Holmes. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
What do you think of the sort of hysteria that seems to have | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
gone over the weekend about this fake villages? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
I think if you get boarded-up shops | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
and places that look rundown it is a self-fulfilling prophecy | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
so whereas it's not ideal, I'm not necessarily against it. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
I think that someone who passes through, you want a good impression, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
you want to be able to go back and say that's a nice place to be. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
Things are looking well. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:20 | |
Part of the attraction of Enniskillen is that it is rural | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
and a rural environment and you do not want it to change so much. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
But you see, look, she's going to create an... She's stopping here | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
to take a picture of me with her camera and, you know... | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
Doesn't matter about the rules and regulations. Look at this! | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Look at this. Quick, quick. Quick, before they... | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
She is getting out of the car. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
If you don't ask, you won't get. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
Never mind the trucks and the traffic, we'll just delay, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
bring the whole town centre to a standstill. Lisa... I got a picture. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
Got it. Did you get one? We just don't want a picture. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
It has to be the picture. Take a look. Lisa is blinking in this. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
We're in trouble. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
Is it all right, Lisa? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:03 | |
The Impartial's official photographer John, meanwhile, | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
is busy back in the office | 0:16:08 | 0:16:09 | |
upstairs in the newspaper's photo studio. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
Yes, totally relaxed. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
OK, give me a side-on view, please. Just keep that, don't move. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
Bring a leg right over the top of it and onto the foot of it. Yes. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
On your bum for me, like a good girl. That's it. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
On down for me. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:28 | |
Happy, Janice? It was OK, actually, yeah. It wasn't too bad. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
The phone'll be goin' on Thursday morning. Thursday morning. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
I'll be first up, out to the shop to get the Impartial. Super. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
That's what it's all about. Thanks for coming in. Thanks, girls. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
Yes, she should enjoy them, now, on Thursday, when the paper comes out. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
Back on the street, Eamonn is still stopping traffic. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Lisa, move that car before you get a ticket. Eamonn, nice to meet you. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
That's great. Lovely seeing you, lovely seeing you. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
And just finally, what has been the overall reaction from | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
the local people you've met about the G8 coming? Positive or negative? | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
If they get... Apart from you coming. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
..anywhere near the reaction I've got, | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
I think everybody is in a frenzy. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
Somebody told me they met Colin Farrell and now they have met me, | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
they're looking forward to meeting President Obama. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
I hope you catch a glimpse of them all. Thank you very much. Not at all. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
Appreciate that. OK, all the best. See you, Lisa. Bye-bye. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
Thank you very much, Niamh. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
Niamh, you not want a picture? I'm very annoyed. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
You don't want a picture? Now, see that, she's too cool for school. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
This is me. Can you freeze frame this? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
That's one for Niamh's album. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
Or is that Maeve? | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
Back at HQ, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:00 | |
Deputy Editor Mark Conway is piecing together the weekly edition. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
You know, John just doesn't settle for the ordinary. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
I think that's the key to John. He's one of the best in the business, | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
no doubt about it. Not only in Fermanagh, but Northern Ireland. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
He's a brilliant news journalist, brilliant sports journalist. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
And a photo like that, we have to use big in the paper for the impact. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:20 | |
Rodney has called a Tweeting in Denzil's office. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
We're hosting a live twitter Q session via our Twitter page | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
relating to the G8 summit. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
There's a question from a P7 pupil at Jones Memorial. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
"Is there any chance that school will be closed?" | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
Who would like to deliver the bad news? | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
"Hearing that the South have powers in place to switch off | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
"mobile phone masts if required over the G8? | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
"Is there a same plan in the North?" | 0:18:57 | 0:19:03 | |
the mobile network and that actually was more of a hindrance than a help. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
Protestors and campsites. Any more information on that? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
Will there be a campsite for protesters? | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
It's a matter that is under consideration | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
but no decision has been taken at this point in time. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
"Will the Western Education and Library Board be providing | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
"free breakfasts for kids who have to get up half an hour earlier, | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
"some at 6am to catch a bus at 6:45am?" | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
The Catering Service will be having discussions with the schools. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
Two miles away in the beautiful venue for G8, Lily has arrived | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
to meet chef Noel McMeel who will be cooking for the world leaders. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:56 | |
I have Lily here at reception for you from the Impartial. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Great. Thank you, Noel. Bye. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
Photographer John is there too, of course. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
To me, obviously, we'll be covering various aspects of the G8 | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
and how people are involved. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
Noel's obviously Executive Head Chef leading a team. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
So really, it's just an idea of a picture story, possibly. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
And just, you know, how he's going to promote the Northern Ireland produce. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
It is very exciting times. Everybody is so excited. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
I think more so, I think when it really all came about in January. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
When our Prime Minister Cameron actually came over | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
and announced it was actually going to be in Fermanagh. Yes. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
It's unbelievable. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:42 | |
Well, do you want to talk here, or shall we go outside | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
when it's such a nice day? It's such a beautiful day, why not go outside? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
OK, that's great. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:48 | |
Have you any sort of special dishes that you plan to prepare? | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
Everyone asks me what kind of dishes are we going to be doing for the G8! | 0:20:54 | 0:20:59 | |
I can only tell you that it will reflect a lot to do with Fermanagh. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:05 | |
You know, at this stage, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
do you know what you're actually going to be doing? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
We know exactly what we're doing, | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
and we're well prepared for it. Can I tell you? No! No! | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
You can tell me afterwards, though. Afterwards, yes. Tell me afterwards. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
Maybe! | 0:21:18 | 0:21:19 | |
Back at the newspaper's offices, journalists are responding | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
to the tweets and messages from their readers. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
Are you all enjoying it so far? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
On a scale of one to ten, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:39 | |
how concerned is Barack Obama about the phone signal in Derrygonnelly? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
You're not to be tweeting, Denzel now, come on! | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
OK. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
Green bins, blue bins, they'll all be collected during that time, will they? | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
With the exception of those properties that are within | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
the exclusion zone, where the road is closed, | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
all collections will be as normal. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
OK. Well, thank you all very much. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
Hope you enjoyed that! | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
We just had a very lively Twitter Q session | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
with the G8 delivery group in Fermanagh. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
Green bins will be collected, so nobody needs to worry about that. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
Nobody knows when things happen, obviously. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
In my business, nobody knows. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:39 | |
The phone can ring, people can come through my door at any time. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
And we have to act accordingly | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
and make things go as smoothly for the family as possible. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
Everybody knows the G8 is here. So we just have to work with that. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:54 | |
During G8, it certainly will prove a wee bit more difficult. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
Most graveyards will be open. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
Julie, who broke the story, has come back to work just in time for G8. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
It's very strange being back in the office | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
after four months of being off and being at home with Alfie. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
But in a way, it almost feels like I haven't been away, too. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
I've kind of slipped back into things again. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
And it's nice to be doing something other than changing nappies all day! | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
It's quite refreshing. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:34 | |
And I'm just looking forward to Monday and Tuesday, | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
just to be able to soak up the atmosphere | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
and see what it's like to be in Fermanagh during the G8. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:44 | |
Denzel has gathered his team for a briefing. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
The big event is the big event. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
But to us, it's much more important that we get how it affects Fermanagh. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:54 | |
There's no template for this, because, you know, | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
as long as we have kind of a set plan of what everybody's doing. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
If we keep communicating. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
Maeve, you're going to look after the protests. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
Julie and Brian, vox pops. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
Reports of traffic jams, people affected by disruption. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Schools serving breakfast, etc. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
There's also a slight possibility of an interview | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
with Cameron on Tuesday. Did he request it, or did you?! | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
It was after Julie, you see. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:23 | |
He read Julie's piece and thought, | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
have to do something with The Impartial! | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
Yeah, I heard he was asking for an interview | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
with the journalist of the year! | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
Everybody happy? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
It's the last paper before G8. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
Lovely. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
Janice and her mum are excited to see | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
if her photo shoot has made it into the paper. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
Oh, Janice! Oh, no. Oh, they're lovely. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
She's in, and Mum is very proud. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
They really are. She cleans up well! | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Brian and John head to the local school to find out | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
how disruption might affect the students. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
This is Friday the 14th of June. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
We're trying to find out how many of the students | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
had to get up really early. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
What time did you have to get the bus this morning? | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
Yeah, at like, 7:10. 7:10? Does that mean getting up at what time? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:31 | |
About 6.30. 6.30. That's quite early, isn't it? Yeah! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:36 | |
And it was daylight at that stage, was it? Yeah, bright! Yeah. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
So, is there anybody else earlier than you, do you think, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
coming into school? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Have you heard of anybody getting up really, really early? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
6.30 is early enough, I think! | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
Meanwhile, Rodney gets wind of another story. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
I've heard a little rumour that somebody is going to be | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
staying at the Crom estate over the G8. Who that is, I do not know. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:10 | |
But that is why I am off to meet Noel Johnson, | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
the manager of the West Wing at Crom Castle. I'm going to ask him. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
In fact, I'm going to demand that he tells me who's staying! | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
I would love a cup of tea. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
What do you say to Mr Obama? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Is it you have to let the teapot get a bit stronger? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
You think he likes strong tea? He likes strong tea, yeah. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
Is that what they've told you? Yeah. So you'll be ready for him! | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
Good man, Rodney! Does he drink tea? I don't even think he drinks tea. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
I have no idea. Green tea, I think. Is that right? | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
Close to the G8 venue, Brian gains access inside the ring of steel. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
Anyway, David, we're to see how you're coping with the pressure? Yes! | 0:27:05 | 0:27:12 | |
So, do you know what is likely to happen, then, you know, coming...? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:19 | |
Well, basically, I think we'll be closed off. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
I was intending to cut the silage, basically, this week. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
But because of the short growth of grass, | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
it wasn't basically worthwhile. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
So I don't think now I'm going to get my silage man in | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
until after the G8. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
Yeah. We're going to get caught up in this rain. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
We can go and stand in here for a minute or so. Yeah. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
As the rain starts, there's time to discuss more ethereal matters. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
So we don't get all sunshine in Fermanagh, anyway! | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
If President Obama arrives, if he knocks on the door, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
he'll certainly be invited in! And maybe President Putin as well! | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
David, if they jointly agree to send men to Mars, | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
it would be a historic agreement, would it?! | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
It would be a historic arrangement! | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
I would have to consider if they were giving me | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
an option of going or not now! I just don't know! | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
I just don't think I would maybe be just first. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
I would have to give it thought, anyway, before I'd agree to go! | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
Back at Crom, Rodney continues to research his story. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
Somebody's staying here. We don't know for sure. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
But it would maybe be nice if we got someone. What about Putin? | 0:28:37 | 0:28:45 | |
We've cleaned the boats out and all! He is a keen fisherman, is he? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:49 | |
Oh, very keen. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:50 | |
Do you think Michelle drinks a good cup of tea? She drinks green tea. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:55 | |
Does she? Yeah. Have you been told that? Yeah. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
So you have green tea ready for her? | 0:28:58 | 0:28:59 | |
We'll have the green tea ready for her. Good. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
What do you think she'll make of the Fermanagh rain? She'll love it! | 0:29:04 | 0:29:08 | |
So it's Michelle Obama, then? | 0:29:08 | 0:29:11 | |
So, Noel, is this where Putin's going to be sitting? | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
Or Michelle Obama? | 0:29:14 | 0:29:15 | |
If they did come, wouldn't it be a beautiful venue for them | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
to have something to eat? | 0:29:18 | 0:29:19 | |
But we have a group of ladies coming from Lisnaskea tonight. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
This is where they're dining. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:24 | |
So, what you're saying to me is you can't tell me who, | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
because you don't know. But when you do know, you will tell me? | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
I will, yeah. When I find out. So I'll come back, then? You come back. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
Right. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:33 | |
As the world leaders prepare to arrive, | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
award-winning snapper John has braved the roadblocks | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
to cover his next assignment, a farming special on sheep shearing. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
# They've never questioned anything, never disagreed | 0:29:49 | 0:29:54 | |
# Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
# And when you see a cane I see a crook... # | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
Definitely he's mastered after thousands upon thousands of sheep. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:06 | |
And as you can see, I haven't mastered it just yet! | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
# It's sheep we're up against | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
# It's sheep we're up against! # | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
If Obama wants to come up here and give it a go, | 0:30:14 | 0:30:17 | |
we've a spare hand piece... | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
he can come and give me a shot for a day if he wants. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
Enniskillen has experienced unprecedented levels of security | 0:30:34 | 0:30:38 | |
in preparation for G8. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:40 | |
A major land, sea and air operation is under way | 0:30:41 | 0:30:44 | |
to cope with the massive number of protestors expected. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:48 | |
Two men, one tent, and a dog have shown up. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
Rodney and John are on hand to capture the moment. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
Down with the G8! | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
We'll take you on! Peacefully! We'll dance... We'll dance the G8! | 0:30:58 | 0:31:03 | |
# We're going to dance you out Going to dance you out. # | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
It's a bit different for Enniskillen. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
Tweeting the life out of it cos it's going to be everywhere, you know, | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
it's going to be in lots of papers, so I want to get it out first. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:25 | |
It's the day before G8 | 0:31:26 | 0:31:27 | |
and the clash between Fermanagh and Cavan in the GAA Ulster Championship | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
has been in doubt ever since the summit was announced. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
It's going ahead despite concerns. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
Impartial sports journalist Gareth Cauldwell | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
is there to cover the story. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
There was the fears that people wouldn't get into the game | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
but as you can see there's plenty of people coming in, | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
their fears seem to be allayed to an extent. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
Traffic's been moving freely through Enniskillen all morning. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
People are going to come in the now. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
We're only an hour away from the start of the game | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
and it's beginning to fill up. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
I suppose it will impact on the crowd. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
I don't think the crowd would be the same as what it was | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
if the G8 wasn't happening. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:05 | |
Enniskillen is host to campaigners from around the UK who are using | 0:32:15 | 0:32:18 | |
the G8 as a platform to highlight world poverty. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:22 | |
The Most Reverend John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
leads a church service for the IF campaign. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
Impartial's journalist Brian manages to get a one-to-one. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
So we should work at it. Yes, absolutely. Thank you. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
And it'll be a good thing when it happens. Where did... | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
Where was it thought about and started? Enniskillen. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
Enniskillen. Absolutely. All right? | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
Another Impartial reporter? Is he? I hope so. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
And I follow you on Twitter as well. You do? Oh, lovely. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
So you showing me that I was here? Yes. Knew you were here. OK, OK. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
Nice to see you. Another reporter. Dominic? | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
Did you say Dominic? John. Oh, another John. | 0:32:57 | 0:32:59 | |
Which is the Baptist or the beloved? | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
Both. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:02 | |
You can't be both! | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
It's the morning of G8 and, despite the empty streets, | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
there's a high security presence. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
Impartial's editor Denzil is a guest on Good Morning, Ulster. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
I'm Karen Patterson, live this morning in Enniskillen... | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
When Julie broke the story months ago it was, you know, | 0:33:26 | 0:33:30 | |
it was an abstract thing. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
Oh, wonderful. And we've been building for months. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
And this is the day. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
You get a real sense of excitement building there | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
listening to Kelly in Belfast. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:40 | |
I mean, there's no question about it. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
We talk about the cliche "historic" and it was never more appropriate. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:49 | |
And there is a certain buzz, there's no question, it's building already. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:52 | |
Just looking at Denzil as we are all sitting around the monitor | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
watching that distinct livery of Air Force One touching down in Belfast. | 0:33:56 | 0:34:01 | |
It is momentous, it's huge, isn't it, Denzil? | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
It's the reality of it. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:05 | |
Watching those television pictures, it's actually quite exciting. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
Because there's no doubt, you know, | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
we've been waiting for this for months. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
There's no doubt that whether G8 leaders...that President Obama | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
is the main man and to see him landing at Belfast International | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
is... It really brings the reality of it home. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:21 | |
It's Maeve's job to head to the lake to cover the flotilla protest. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:29 | |
Where are you from and what's your purpose today? | 0:34:29 | 0:34:33 | |
I just got out of Guantanamo, myself. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:34:38 | 0:34:40 | |
Just, really, tell me a bit about why you're here today. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:49 | |
To pull a sound bite. We don't want to turn the lakelands into wastelands. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
As the world leaders arrive, | 0:35:04 | 0:35:05 | |
reporter Julie has been sent to the local secondary school. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
We don't know exactly who's coming. OK. We'll wave, anyway. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
What are all your friends saying? | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
Whoo! | 0:35:19 | 0:35:20 | |
I'm sure you'll be ringing home, then, to let everybody know as well. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:26 | |
As soon as I walk away. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
This is about as exciting as it gets. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
And, of course, there's somebody from the Impartial there. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:40 | |
Yeah, Rodney's there. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
He's got the golden ticket. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
It's all very exciting. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
Julie and the crowd have waited well over an hour | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
in the hope that the cavalcade will stop. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
She can take some consolation, however. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:06 | |
I think he was waving at me, to be honest. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
In town, a crowd has gathered to protest. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
Maeve is at the heart of the story. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
I'm here because people are fracking... | 0:36:21 | 0:36:25 | |
I'm just sick of the lies and people dying for no reason | 0:36:25 | 0:36:29 | |
and the erosion of human rights. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:30 | |
As Maeve prepares to walk to the security fence | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
with the protestors, G8 marches on at the Resort. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
ALL: Getting louder by the hour! | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
ALL: Power! | 0:36:52 | 0:36:57 | |
ALL: Power to the people! | 0:36:57 | 0:37:01 | |
ALL: The people got the power! | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
The sun sets on Fermanagh | 0:37:07 | 0:37:08 | |
as the quietest G8 in history bids the county farewell. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:12 | |
But as Enniskillen relaxes, | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
the editor of the Impartial Reporter has a paper to get to press. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
Well, it's now 11 o'clock, Wednesday morning. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:28 | |
And things are starting to come together. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:28 | |
It's been an incredible couple of days for everybody. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:34 | |
But we've now set our stall out to do 25, 26 pieces of coverage of this. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:39 | |
But I think there's an expectation that we, the local paper, | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
needs to produce something special this week, | 0:37:42 | 0:37:44 | |
there's that added expectation and a bit of added pressure. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
But there's no doubt the staff respond every week | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
to that sort of pressure. So we've no doubt we'll do it again this week. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
As the paper is finally printed, the staff of the Impartial can be proud | 0:37:55 | 0:37:59 | |
of another momentous event in this great newspaper's history. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
Back at the G8 venue, doorman Patsy reflects on the big event. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:12 | |
Something I'd never have ever envisioned in my lifetime | 0:38:12 | 0:38:16 | |
to meet ten world leaders in one place. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
And it's the pinnacle of my career, because, over the years, | 0:38:19 | 0:38:26 | |
The Impartial Reporter produced an 88-page special edition, | 0:38:33 | 0:38:37 | |
its headline "Dream big dreams." | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
They broke the story of the year | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
and award-winning journalist of the year Rodney Edwards did, | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
after all, get his scoop - an interview with the Prime Minister. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
