Below is my final script (apologies about the spellings!) - I am now ready to record as I have chosen my actors.
The words highlighted in red are bits that I might cut out as I feel that some of the stories are a little too long.

with the news at 12’
News Story 1- News reader: Police in South London have refused to rule out
abduction, as the search continues for a mute and deaf child who disappeared
from his home yesterday evening. Officers in Brixton are using
specially trained dogs in the search for
five-year-old James Jackson, who was reported missing by his parents on Friday evening after attending a
neighbour’s party. Police have said that the search for James has been complicated by the boy’s inability to
hear rescuers and to cry out for help. Brixton's chief of police, Steven Russell
spoke earlier this morning, outlining his concerns
that James's disabilities may hamper the search for him.
Steven Russell (chief of police): 'our
real worry is that James's condition makes it almost impossible to communicate
with him. If he is hurt or in potential danger he is unable to call out, and
this is obviously making the search more difficult. James has been missing for
12 hours, and it is crucial that we establish his whereabouts as quickly as
possible.'
News Story 2- News reader: The evacuation of residents of Lydd-on-Sea and New Romney
has begun this morning, after concerns regarding radiation levels following
last Monday's explosion at the Dungeness power plant in Kent.
The secretary of state for health,
Jeremy Hunt has assured the public that this is purely a precautionary measure.
Despite assurances that any radiation leaks have been contained and that there
is no threat of radiation spreading across the South East, Londoners continue
to express fears for their safety. Our health correspondent, Sam Phillips spoke
to shoppers in London’s bustling Borough Market earlier this morning.
Sam Phillips: Borough Market is as busy
today as any other Saturday, but shoppers I’ve spoken to have expressed real
concern about the lack of concrete information coming from the government about
the dangers posed by last weeks explosion. There
is real fear on the streets of London because of the capitals close proximity
to the power station. Many shoppers are concerned that they are not being told
the full facts, particularly since villages near to Dungeness have been
evacuated.
Vox Pop 1(young women): You hear stories
about how quickly radiation can spread. I've got young kids and I'm worried
about the potential harm to them if the leak isn't under control.
Vox Pop 2 (middle aged man): We
need quick, detailed information, regularly updating us about exactly what is
happening. It's the uncertainty about the dangers that spreads fear.
Vox Pop 3 (old women): It’s the most
scared i'v been since the air raids in the Second World War. I’m not sure I
believe the government but I suppose we just have to trust them.
News Story 3- Presenter- 'Hollywood super couple Harrison Keener and Kim Fraiser
have announced that they are splitting after 8 years of marriage. Rumours that
Oscar winning actress Fraiser had begun an affair with the director of her new
movie Black Romance, have been circulating on the Internet for a number of
months. The couple, however, have refused to comment
on the reasons for the split, describing it as 'amicable'. Fraiser, in London to promote the release of her latest thriller,
asked journalists at a press conference yesterday to respect her family's
privacy at what she described as 'a difficult and unsettling time'.

respected at this time. We have tried to conduct our relationship privately and
we hope that we will be allowed to continue to do so.'

minutes of the announcement being released on Fraiser's official blog, the website

Story 4- Presenter: 'And finally, lottery
operator Camelot has confirmed radical changes to the national lottery format,
in an attempt to produce more weekly winners. This evening’s national lottery
sees the introduction of the first of four new draws that Camelot claim will
lead to a 10% rise in winners over the course of the next 12 months. Tonight’s
new game called Golden Ball will see one lucky winner guaranteed a minimum
jackpot of 10 Million Pounds and for the first time customers who match just
two numbers will receive a £10 payout. Camelot UK managing director Andy Duncan
told Metro FM that it is important that the lottery was reenergized.'
Andy Duncan (on the phone): 'The lottery
has needed fixing for a while and the prizes haven't changed significantly for
19 years. The new formats are a way of increasing the incentive to play and
actually giving players more opportunities to win more money.'
