Later that year, from the BBC news studio, she covered the events of Harold Saxon's inauguration as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, reporting that he was greeting a crowd outside Saxon Headquarters after returning from the Palace. Later that day, as per Saxon's machinations, the faces of Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones and Jack Harkness, the latter known simply as "the Captain", were released to BBC News, and the newsreader alerted the public that they were terrorist suspects who were armed and extremely dangerous. That night, she announced that Great Britain would be the first to welcome an extraterrestrial species while Air Force One had landed on British soil. She continued the coverage into the First Contact on the following morning, and was last heard announcing that Saxon had invited US President Arthur Winters to take the address.
