at the moment

Mate, newsreading -
not for everyone.
145
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,960
Right.
It's nothing personal.
146
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,440
It's just when the camera goes on
a particular sort of person,
147
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,520
the viewer feels very secure.
148
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,280

00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,840
Is it a vocal thing?
152
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,280
No.
153
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,280
Because I have been working
with a vocal coach all summer.

He actually worked with
Jack Thompson.
155
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,560
You want to get
your money back, Dale.
156
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,720
You don't sound anything like
Jack Thompson.
157
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,120
Mate, how well do you know Helen?
158
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,440
Um...we nod hello sometimes.
159
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,560
Then you know she's very, very set
on these special reports.
160
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,680
Right.
Yeah, so what I really need now
161
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,600
is a bloke with some chops
to go out with her,
162
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,200
help her shoot,
help her put the story together.
163
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,560
You do this for me on Monday,
164
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,080
then maybe I can give you a shot
on an update on...Tuesday.
165
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,760
Is that a deal?
Deal.
166
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,200
But you gotta watch yourself
with her, OK?
167
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,880
She's going to hit you
with a lot of shitty ideas
168
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,480
about cross-eyed single mothers
and AIDS and Christ knows what else.
169
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Your job is to bat her away.
170
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,800
OK. Heh! Great!
171
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Uh, thanks so much, Lindsay.
172
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,720
Um, should we meet again
after the update to...?

00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,480
Goodnight.

175
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,840
Hello. Jennings residence.
176
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Hi. It's me. Um...
177
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,720
I just got my first update
live on the desk next week.
178
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,080
When next week?
179
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Tuesday morning.
180
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,000
I mean, it's just Tuesday morning
right now,
181
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,400
but if it goes well,
there will be more.
182
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,360
Am I allowed to tell people?
Yes.
183
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,920
(LAUGHS)
184
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,480
I gotta go. Bye.

Dale, it's your Uncle Cliff here.
192
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,880
Yeah, your mum just rang,
and we're thrilled for you.
193
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,960
Um, anyway...
(BEEP)
194
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,760
Love, it's Mum again.
195
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,280
I know you told me, but,
196
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,240
was it the morning update
or the afternoon update?
197
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,120
Give me a ring.
(BEEP)
198
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,920
Hi, Dale.
199
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,160
It's Adam here from school.
200
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,160
I saw you on TV tonight, and, um,
I got your number from Ron Allsop.
201
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,360
I know I'm probably not
someone you'd want to see,
202
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,640
but even if I could just get
an address to write to you.
203
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,360
My number's 4361625.

with the morning update.

with the morning update.

MAN: Ah. She graces us
with her presence.
210
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,520
You wanna be a reporter, you know
what time reporters get here?
211
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,600
About an hour and a half ago.
212
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,720
Well, I just secured an interview.
213
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,080
Uh-huh?
Yeah.
214
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,240
It's a woman - uh, mother of two...
215
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,880
Right, well, you can
tell Dale all this.
216
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,560
He's got some options
for you as well.
217
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:17,840
I'm sorry?
Dale Jennings.
218
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,320
He'll be producing you.
219
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,960
Lindsay said I could...
It was Lindsay's idea.
220
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,320
All reporters work under a producer.
221
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,960
They also get here at 7:00am.
222
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,120
Helen.
Hi.
223
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,920
So thrilled to be working with you.
Mm-hm.
224
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,240
Looks like it's gonna be
a bit of a bumper day.
225
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,600
So, I'm sorry, I was under the
impression that this was gonna be
226
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,880
a special report of my choosing.
227
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Absolutely. And I've got quite a few
options I thought we could pick from.
228
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,960
Well, I already have an interview.
229
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,960
OK. An interview with who?
230
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,840
Do you want to get a pen?
231
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,520
Yep.
232
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:56,800
(CLEARS THROAT)
233
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,800
So, I have been in contact
with a woman.
234
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,280
Her name is Caroline Gibson.
OK.
235
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,520
She has two children
and she is HIV positive.
236
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,880
OK.
237
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,840
I know Lindsay's thoughts
on AIDS stories,
238
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,680
but I see this as more of
a family story.
239
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:16,680
Mm-hm.
240
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,520
So, Caroline contracted HIV
through a blood transfusion
241
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,360
and there's actually quite
a few women in the same position.
242
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,280
Except none of them have spoken
to the media yet, so...
243
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Look, I...
244
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,960
I think just for the first report...
Oh, this isn't my first report.
245
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,480
The first in this particular series,
246
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,320
they were just hoping for something
a little more upbeat.
247
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,440
Still with substance, but...
248
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Like what?
249
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,680
OK. Um...
250
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,560
It's the first day of school,
251
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:51,280
so I was thinking we could actually
get you interviewing a prep class.
252
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,120
Alternatively... Actually, this is...
253
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Um, the new Melbourne Zoo
butterfly house.
254
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,320
It's really world-class,
it's...it's, um, innovative
255
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,320
and they're about to welcome
their one millionth visitor.
256
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,040
Have you been there?
257
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,840
It's quite good.
258
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,600
Lindsay very, very specifically
said...
259
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,320
Oh, God. Don't start having
a whinge with me now, OK?
260
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,320
..that this was going to be
a special report of my choosing.
261
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,480
You are more than welcome to take
it up with him when he gets here.
262
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,640
This is a gripping family story...
263
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,760
(BOTH TALK OVER EACH OTHER)
I think I've got a good third option.
264
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,200
Uh... It's about women and space.
265
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,520
Just being able
to, um, see the planet.
266
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,080
I mean, you see it in pictures
267
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,640
but to be able to see that
in reality is gonna be wonderful.
268
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,920
So, she's a schoolteacher
and a mother of two,
269
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,200
and she's been picked by NASA
270
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,720
to be the first civilian
ever sent into space.
271
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Great. I love it.
272
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,320
It's a US story.
273
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,800
Yeah. But I think we can get
some good Australian angles.
274
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,040
Can I speak to her?
Um...
275
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,120
Well, no, no, no.
276
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,520
But we do have an excellent
space scientist at the CSIRO
277
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,920
who we've used before.
278
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,160
Plus, Hawke has made some comments
279
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,040
about Australia
getting its own space program,
280
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,560
so we could cover that as well.
281
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,080
Yep, I'd want to watch that.
Well done.
282
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,800
I want to talk to Lindsay.
I want to pitch my story.
283
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,080
I think it speaks for itself.
284
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,040
I mean, if you go in there
and tell him that right now,
285
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,000
you can forget about these reports.
286
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Don't worry. I'll tell Lindsay
you did your best.
287
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,400
You know,
I would just appreciate it,
288
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,160
if you get the chance, to
tell Lindsay that I did my best too.
289
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,440
OK. It might not come up but, uh...
290
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,000
..just in case it does.
291
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,680
You just do not know
how to put a sock in it, do you?
292
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,960
I have done a year and a half
of doing regional.
293
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,520
I spent two years
as a senior reporter.
294
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520
I've got blokes here
who've done 15 years.
295
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,720
If you just look at the story...
They go out, they do absolute shit.
296
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,160
They don't mind
because that's the job.
297
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,160
60 Minutes are sending
female reporters to war zones.
298

299
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Anywhere you go is a war zone, Helen.
You're a war zone on two legs.
300
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,240
So, yeah, try your luck there,
see if they'll take you.
301
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,440
I will.
302
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,440
Well, let me tell you something,
though, sweetheart.
303
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,160
Other networks, they hear about the
shit we have to put up with from you,
304
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,640
they wouldn't touch you
with a ten-foot bargepole.
305
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,360
I'm not kidding, Helen.
306
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,360
I am not kidding.
307
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,520
Every day I have to back you up.
308
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,120
Every day people come
in here and they say,
309
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,880
"Helen Norville,
she's a nightmare.

00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,160
"She's got a face
like a slapped arse."
311
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,040
But I bat them all back.
312
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,720
But, you know what, Helen?
313
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,080
They are fucking right!
314
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,480
Oh, you take one more step, Helen.
One more step, you're gone.

is again under pressure

Is she unwell again?
No.

It all came to a head this afternoon.
She's gone.
340

What? Permanently?
Well, according to Lindsay.
341
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:39,880
Apparently, they had
another screaming match
342
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,760
and he finally drew

really understand it.

..excitement
for Christa McAuliffe...
866
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,200
Does just means she's reinstated?
867
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,040
..and parishioner, who had become...
868

at Concord High School,
872

Mrs McAuliffe taught...
Badly.

00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,960
..American history, law, economics,
874
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,960
and a course that she designed
herself - The American Woman.

00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,320
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev
has sent a telegram of condolence
876

Ronald Reagan.
877

OK.
878
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:53,240
The telegram read,
"We partake of your grief..."
879
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:55,280
Uh, so, Reagan made a speech.
880
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,240
He spoke directly to schoolchildren,
saying that the tragedy was...
881
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:01,120
..part of the process
of exploration,
882
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:06,120
and he pledged that the Shuttle
program will absolutely continue.

RONALD REAGAN:
I've always had great faith in
884
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,600

does nothing to diminish it.

We don't hide our space programs.

And, back in five...
889

891

putting into words some of
the horror that we all feel.
892
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,280
The impact of this tragedy
will be felt for months, years.
893
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,480
But right now, our thoughts must be
with those children tonight,
894
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,800
going to bed, having
tragically lost a parent.
895

there might be one body...

..but there's gonna be 10 souls
that I'm taking with me.
