10 o'clock BBC News
As the programme begins, the news reporter is positioned with screens behind her visible to the camera which creates a 'behind the scenes' feel. As the news presenter prepares to introduce herself, the audience are exposed to more of the set, including one of the cameras, to make them feel like they are part of the production team.
The opening story begins with an inquiry concerning a family who have been spied on; the case known as the 'Lawrence killers'. It is a story surrounding death and police officers who were considered 'sneaky' and to not be doing their job properly. This story lasted for five minutes.
The second story concerns the government of South Africa featuring Nelson Mandela and his critically ill condition. There is a report live from Johannesburg and the story lasts for two minutes.
The third news story surrounds Edward Snowdon, a 30 year old American who is being accused for charges of espionage. Snowdon is on the run from America as they are in desperate need for him and the damage he can cause. The U.S cannot afford for him to leak information. This story also lasted for five minutes sharing the same amount of importance as the leading story.
Throughout the entire programme placed at the bottom of the screen was Nelson Mandela and his critically ill state. This was an issue based on the South African government and was classified as 'Breaking News'. This was the only news story that was situated in this section therefore proved to be the most important.
