after checking my script with my teacher and letting him listen to the audio I realised that the news I was presenting was too recent, so for this script I have news that has been made up by myself:

The one o’ clock news with Edwin Richardson

Good afternoon, massive blaze broke out today in the Mayfare hotel in Douglas. Confirmed reports say that 9 people were found dead, and at least 23 injured. Some are still thought to be trapped inside the building but fire-fighters are doing their best to evacuate and rescue the remaining people out of the building. Part of the building has collapsed due to the explosion. Now that it’s under control the Douglas fire service say that the explosion was caused by a gas leak explosion. Local correspondent James Green is outside the Mayfare Hotel with the latest.

It’s been 4 hours of chaos here at the Mayfare hotel, the fire-fighters have been on a non-stop mission to evacuate the remaining people out of the building, and now that everything seems to be under control we can confirm that 9 people were dead… I spoke to the owner of the Mayfare Hotel…. This was what he had to say:

Owner of the Mayfare Hotel

It’s just an absolute disaster, I’m speechless…. I just want to say sorry for all the people and my heart goes out to the families of those who sadly died.

James

well there is still no sign of any people getting evacuated out of the building but we all hope that the fire-fighters can get them out safe and sound, and of course like the owner says “our hearts go out the families of those who sadly died” that’s the latest from the Mayfare Hotel.

Sports now and the Manx Pizza king cup final is unlikely to take place at the bowl the year, “the new Bowl stadium at the NSC has serious structural faults”, said the spokesman. This means that the Manx F.A; the organisers of the of the Pizza king cup will need to find an alternative venue for the cup final this year. There are rumours that the venue for the cup final could be held at the Peel stadium, we went out and spoke to people to get their opinions of the Peel stadium:

Random person

The Peel stadium is a great replacement I believe.

Random person 2

I think it should be held at the Peel stadium only because the cup final has been held there before so it would be ready for anything.

Random person 3

I personally think it’s a good venue but we can’t rule out other stadiums.

Many people from the island have been on a search after a very famous face appeared at the legends charity match that took place last week. It was jaw dropping to see that Mr. Eric Cantona has been visiting the Isle of Man. The ex Manchester United player who is currently been filming movies might be considering on filming at the island.
