At 08.15, Gurpreet Billan, the student programme editor, calls the get vox pops on this topic as well as about nuclear energy.

After the meeting, the two presenters, Lauren Balsom and Jasprit Dhaliwal, are taken into the Channel 4 news studio by Lorna Iles, the studio director. It's a chance to practise reading autocue and to get a feel for presenting a news bulletin.

The newsbelt team is looking through the morning papers for possible newsbelt stories: short news items that don't merit a major package. The teddy mobile phone for four year olds is ideal.

Gurpreet and Laura are a little behind writing the lead-ins for their stories. Martin Fewell, deputy editor of Channel 4 News, comes in to discuss the bulletin and to find out if they have any misgivings about giving airtime to the Greenpeace protesters who have just disrupted Tony Blair's speech about energy policy. Gurpreet thinks it's fair to show opposing views.

At The Grays School Media Arts College, students wait for an email from the team at Channel 4 News telling them the subject of the on-the-day story. The first rushes are late so the students do some internet research on nuclear energy. The rushes eventually arrive in three separate phases and the students have very little time to include shots from the final rushes in their stories which they edit and script using the online editing tool eSEQ.
