Announcer 2: "well the scenes here are absolutely indescribable. I've personally 

Never seen anything like it before. a crowd of around, what, thirty-thousand people 

Have been waiting all day for the arrival of mr. black and his entourage. and it is 

Expected that one of the main topics of his speech this evening will be the controversial 

Anti-(something) corruption bill, which mr. black wants brought into effect immediately 

To put an end to the current widespread decline in public moral standards. 

"and, just a minute, there he is. I can see mr. black now. he's surrounded by, of 

Course, all his bodyguards. (something) the crowd is growing wild with excitement -- 

It's clapping, it's cheering -- as mr. black finally makes his way on that far side 

Onto the platform. and now -- yes, there he is -- he's about to speak. 

Announcement 3 (track 11) 

"news has just reached us of a major victory for mr. black and the people's army. 

The battle took place on the outskirts of a small village somewhere in the northern 

Zone. casualties on both sides are reported to have been very high, indeed. and 

Our on-the-spot correspondent describes the fighting as some of the fiercest in 

Living memory. no quarter has been shown on either side."
