Victoria and Naga watch Channel 4's noon news programme to see how the fuel protest story is covered. It's the top story. One of the interviewees is Andrew Spence of the People's Fuel Lobby who they are trying to locate.

Victoria says that she has set up an interview with Ray Holloway| from the UK Petrol Retailers Association. He will say that petrol prices will go down in the next four days which gives Victoria a new line for her story.

She meets Ray Holloway and the cameraman outside the ITN building and they drive to a nearby petrol station. The cameraman quickly sets up his tripod and camera to do the interview with the petrol station in the background. Victoria holds the microphone - there is no sound recordist. The interview takes about ten minutes.

A graphic designer comes in to discuss ideas with Naga for a graphic| for the fuel protest story. It will show how panic buying at UK petrol pumps was a direct result of damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Naga says that Ed Fraser wants to use a similar graphic in the discussion about the psychology of panic buying at the end of the programme. Hers will have text animating on and moving up the screen. She'll give the graphic designer the exact wording to go on the graphic later in the day.

At 1 o'clock, Naga has tracked down Andrew Spence from The People's Fuel Lobby and has set up an interview with him. He is in Jarrow outside Newcastle where there has been a small protest. After he is interviewed by ITV, Naga will do a down-the-line interview| with him, where she will ask him questions over the phone and a cameraman on location will film his responses. Down-the-line interviews are often conducted on news programmes when the producer or reporter is not able to be on location. The footage is sent to MCR, the machine control room in the news station, by satellite feed; and clips from the interview are used to produce a news item.

Naga goes to the machine control room to conduct the interview. She sits opposite a small monitor where Andrew Spence appears in vision on a sunny street in Jarrow. She has written a list of a number of basic questions to ask him. She wants to know how many protesters there have been in Jarrow, his reaction to the lack of protesters, how the police have handled the situation and his response to the accusation that he started the panic buying of fuel. Once the interview begins, she asks further questions that are prompted by his responses.

When you look at the clips of the final programme, you can see which sound bite from Andrew Spence Naga decided to use.
