front a lot from the radio I don't watch
a lot of television and I don't have
time to read the newspaper I get my news
via I get my news
by watching the television news each day
hi welcome to news today I'm
going to talk to one of the most famous
in the world hi I'm
from news do you mind if I ask
you a few questions do you have any
plans to make a new film who's your new
and why don't you like
answering questions
now Tim did you want to ask many
questions what questions did the
reporter ask
she asked him if he had any plans to
make a new film she asked him who his
new was she asked him why he
didn't like answering questions
television news needs pictures and sound
for any news story there'll be a camera
crew and usually a reporter who is on
the spot to explain what is happening
is a BBC television news
reporter let's find out how a story is
put together and what the difficulties
are basically the way we normally work
is I'll go out with a camera crew to
film interviews street scenes pictures
of the disaster pictures of people
shooting at one another whatever it may
be we take the pictures back and I'll
work with an editor and record my voice
track the editor will put together the
pictures perhaps an of an
interview and that basic process is the
same whether I'm reporting on a British
Rail story in London or a war anywhere
overseas we're gonna have to keep it
quite tight because we've only got short
doing well they took about 110
okay can I just have a look at the
pictures we've got of the two two fives
what are the difficulties of the job
well the difficulties vary according to
what the story is and where the story is
often it's a case of battling against
the authorities who don't want you to
find out what you want to find out yeah
I did speak to her earlier but I just
had another that I wanted to kind
of what are the ways to avoid
and stay objective I think that to
avoid what you have to do is to
stand back a little bit to try to
approach everything that anybody says to
you with a certain degree of
and to try to check it
out and to get the other point of view
and not to necessarily believe
everything people tell you to always be
aware that they may very well have a
hidden agenda behind what they're
telling you and they may be
something for political reasons
works with a camera crew a team of
people who accompany her when she's
reporting they film interviews and
street scenes may have to
interview a politician or report a
terrible accident or disaster she's now
going to talk about one particular news
story a in here's
how she reported it on the television
news
workers of the site of the crash found
the flight data buried beneath
of the apartment
block it is damaged and burned
and has been taken to the
Accident Investigation Center to be
examined by specialists the
of fuel kept the huge fire
burning here for three hours
the flight data is designed to
only about half an hour of
we had heard from
at the scene of the crash that the
flight data had been found and
authority
subsequently confirmed that these
pictures show the ll
arriving at its
last ill-fated flight an airport
spokesman has confirmed that in July it
had a fire in the number two engine
emergency services were as it
landed here on three engines but the
fire was put out by the plane's own
one senior air
had plotted the
entire route of the plane he was able to
tell me at exactly what time the pilot
had made aid the emergency he told me
exactly the advice he'd given to the
pilot he told me what the pilot had done
to try the crash and he told me
why the plane had actually crashed where
it heard have
already given crash investigators some
details of that final flight number
186 - which lasted less than 15 minutes
at 6000 feet as it headed out along the
coast the Israeli pilot put out a
call reporting fire in the number three
engine the his
circling twice as he struggled to
control the plane air traffic
advised the ll pilots to
head for where a
strong might have helped him
instead he went for the closest
where a made his task more
difficult but by that stage it is
whether anything could have
saved a plane from crashing other
authorities for example the city
authorities from the mayor
gave a press conference
and we asked why for example initially
the had been
of 200 it was later to about 80
and the mayor said that it was because
it was very difficult to have accurate
records in that area where there was a
large and partly
community at the center of the crash the
search for further is taking
second place to the efforts to recover
what remains of the dead before Friday's
when the site will be cleared
experts here accept this will make the
task of the crash investigators more
difficult BBC News
that was a difficult story to
report
interviewed air traffic
and people involved in the
they were very
concerned to find the flight data
this is what found out we
had heard that the flight data
had been found and what did the air
say he told me the
advice he had given to the pilot he
advised the pilot to head for the main
reporting about the air
disaster was a job for carol
so after all that does she like her work
I think I enjoy the of
it I think I enjoy the fact that even if
I'm having a rather day and the
office things can happen very suddenly
and I can be travelling somewhere
around the world I think also
you get if you like a front row seat on
events which are shaping history world
events of enormous importance and a
chance to actually be there when those
events are happening and to talk to the
people who are making history is an
extraordinary opportunity this is what
Carol enjoys about her work she likes
having a front row seat she reports on
world events of enormous importance
and she interviews people who are making
history today we met Carol an
international television news reporter
and she told us what her working life
was like that's all for now
goodbye
