The camera pans and zooms into a darkened and minimalist news studio, which lights up when the standing news reader is shown in semi-full shot. "Good evening, and welcome to the inaugural broadcast of the Geldhame International News World Service, broadcasting news from Geldhame to the East Pacific and beyond." "My name is Adrian Trevelyn, and here are the main stories today." The camera focus changes, with Adrian shown far left of screen and a large p-in-p graphic shown on the middle and right. The graphic shows protestors, mainly women and elderly milling around outside a government building."The government today came under extreme pressure from Concerned Parents Against Skateboards, and other pressure groups, to ban the use of 'boards' in Geldhames public areas. So far the government has dismissed such proposals out of hand, stating that they "would diminish the cherished values of individual freedom and cohesive community that Geldhame stands for". The proposal was taken up as a last minute members bill today, and despite a 2 hour debate, failed to win majority." The graphic changes to show a picture of a small atmospheric fighter aircraft, not dissimilar to a Folland Gnat F1. "Geldhame State Aerospace Consortium, today announced that delivery of the last upgraded 'HAL Super Ajeet' fighter aircraft to the CGDF. This aircraft is the last of the 'Ajeet' series craft, constructed in the 1980's under licence from Hindustan Aeronautics, to be upgraded. The improvements include wingtip rails for light AAMs, Blue Fox multi-mode Pulse Doppler radar, and the ability to carry ASRAAM, Python and Skyflash guided missiles, while retaining a secondary ground attack role. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence today stated that "the Super Ajeet will remain in service until at least 2010 due to this comprehensive mid-life upgrade program"." The view switches briefly to the presenter in full screen. "and now to sport . . ." <OOC> Well, being trying to fine the time to do this for a while now. I'll endeavour to bring snippets about twice weekly (I can only use high bandwitdh at work, and I'm always a bit rushed!). Hopefully, this will serve as an introduction to The Commonwealth of Geldhame in prep for any serious RP I do! :man: |

Once more, the camera pans and zooms into a darkened and minimalist news studio, which lights up when the standing news reader is shown in semi-full shot. "Good evening, and welcome to the Geldhame International News World Service, broadcasting news from Geldhame to the East Pacific and beyond." "My name is Adrian Trevelyn, and here are the main stories today, the 6th of June." The camera focus changes, with Adrian shown far left of screen and a large p-in-p graphic shown on the middle and right. The graphic shows a picture of the capital, Castleton, with a mass of shoddily built huts in the foreground. "Today, there were questions in the Lower House with regard to the shanty towns springing up around our cities and major towns in response to the influx of refugees from neighbouring lands from the recent war. The government replied that its policy of limited immigration of semi and skilled workers was the right one, allowing the Geldhame to alleviate the refugee crisis in the region, while not swamping the fragile Geldhamian economy. In addition, the government spokesperson added that once in work, the immigrants would be processed and granted Geldhamian nationality and be eligible for the generous benefit payments for citizens." The graphic changes to a view of a rice paddy. "In other news tonight, the government are rumoured to be bringing in legislation to tighten up food production controls, emphasising organic cultivation over mass-produced, chemicly aided production. This is in response to a number of food poisoning incidents traced back to the over-use of insecticides, and a high profile campaign by celebrity chef Rodeney Hecklethwaite." The graphic changes again to a picture of a bench mounted aircraft cannon. "And finally, business news. GIN World Service today learned that GSAC-armaments division have won a government contract to develop advanced munitions for the Aden Cannon fitted to all major Geldhamian frontline fighters including the Super Ajeet, Hawker Hunter FGA9, and AD-1 Skyraider. The development will focus on providing advanced HE munitions and DS High Density penetrator rounds for use against aerial and ground Targets". The cammera pans back to see Adrian in full vision once again. "So that's good day from me, and now here is Sarah with the weather . . . ." |

Tuning in to the GIN World Service frequency, only a black and white static screen is visible: Due to lightning strikes on our main transmitter in Castleton City, transmission of the GIN World Service has been unavoidably interrupted. Normal Service will be resumed as soon as possible. (OOC: better than BUMP: when my time is at a premium?) |
