Editing Problems Persist

Even though the English news now gets priority after 8 o'clock, editing is still difficult. The editors are still not ingesting any of the English interviews, despite being told to do so countless times by me and others.
Many times this week I have had to go through the exercise of searching for the tape and then ingesting the English portion of it into the editing machine less then an hour before my story was due to air, just so i could begin to get it edited. A few times I thought that I was going to miss my slot. The editing process would go much more smoothly for everyone if the English was ingested in the early afternoon, right after the press conference, along with the Dhivehi.
