Just after lunch, John Battle, the ITN lawyer, comes to check the scripts and to look at the edited stories. He has several queries for Gurpreet Billan, one of which she needs to follow up with a phone call.

Back at the The Grays School Media Arts College, students continue to work and then view the completed stories. They choose one to be considered for the final Breaking the News bulletin and - just in time at 14.30 - they submit it to ITN.

The on-the-day team has spent the morning choosing ITN rushes for the energy story and uploading them to schools. By early afternoon, the scripted and edited stories have arrived back at ITN and the on-the-day team has to select one story to run in the final bulletin. They decide on the story from Stoke Newington School and then go into the cutting room to match frame edit and record the voice-over.

At 14.00, Lauren Balsom and Jasprit Dhaliwal go into the studio to record the lead-ins to all the stories in the bulletin.

The studio discussion team has successfully booked two guests who they hope will argue against each other on the topic of package holidays - Simon Calder, travel editor of The Independent, and Tony Hopkins from Thomas Cook's. A problem arises just before the discussion is due to be recorded. Tony Hopkins is late and Simon Calder has to leave for another appointment...

While the students wait to see the final bulletin, Jon Snow takes time out from working on Channel 4's evening news to come next door and find out how things have gone.

By 6pm, after a very long day during which - like any day in any newsroom - things haven't gone entirely to plan, the team gathers round to watch the final bulletin. At the end, Ben Munro-Davies, one of the programme editors on Channel 4 news, gives a debrief and some of the students give their immediate reaction to seeing their work on screen.
