Where in the world WAS Rob Broomby????

Eddie Mair | 12:28 UK time, Thursday, 31 May 2007

The answer: Georgia.

The (still unedited) intro to tonight's report:

"Iran has failed to obey yet another UN Security Council imposed deadline calling on it to halt its Uranium enrichment programme, which the United States says could give it access to material suitable for a nuclear bomb. Iran maintains its actions are purely peaceful America says not . The agency at the centre of the storm is the UN's nuclear watchdog the IAEA based in Vienna. Our reporter Rob Broomby was been granted unique access to the agency, its leaders and the nuclear inspections teams. For almost 12 months he has been monitoring their work from the inside for a two part Radio Four documentary on the Iran crisis to be broadcast tonight. As he learns the sanctions may have backfired"

The photos from this report and from tomorrow's, including, further down, a snap or two with the head man sitting on the UN nuclear watchdog Mohamed ElBaradei. His dog is not in the photo. No idea what the pig is about. Looks happy though.

Poor little pig, what has he done to upset you so? He is an animal, and therefore an innocent.

Did Mr Broomby lose the collar button on his shirt, or is making some sort of faux formal casual journalistic I'm-not-part-of-the-establishment statement?

Why doesn't he just get his nose pierced instead? I'd have more respect for that.

I don't imagine Rob Broomby is concerned with earning the respect of those who care more for shirt collars than important journalism.

Oh come on Appy. This is the 大象传媒. Personal standards have to be maintained at all times. You can't conceive of Alvar Liddell dressing down in this fashion in the Bashi-Bazouks. It's simply not done.

I hope that upon his return to civilisation Mr. Broomby is taken to one side and suitably upbraded for this unbecoming lack of decorum.

As a matter of fact I.... (cont. P. 94)
