I went with our cameraman in a helicopter to film the 'evacuees' (actually Dutch conscripts) being loaded into choppers from the air, then got as much as we could of them being processed. The sat link had never worked from the ship to the press office on land, so our only hope of getting the footage out was if there was to get it on a helicopter.

There was no time to record a voice over or cut any of the footage. My editor had made it clear that he didn't want us sending raw footage back, but the story was too big to wait for two days until we got back to land. All I could do was put the tapes in a plastic bag and hand them to the pilot. I emailed my editor with new information as it came. It would have been a better story if we would have waited, but it wouldn't have been a current story.

	These protests were actually staged here in London at the University of Westminster before we left. I though I was going to a planning meeting for the trip and wound up interviewing this 'student leader'.

This is one of the full bulletins that we put together. With the team at the University acting as a studio, we were able to pull together reports from several different teams in different places to provide complete coverage of the scenario.
