Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on ITV News
Well, that was an unexpected tea time treat - an exclusive live interview with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on tonight’s ITV News. Midway through the bulletin, we crossed live to Tehran where a nervous looking Julian Mannion gave the President a soft going over, but even that seemed to get the President’s wick, who demanded to know his inquisitor’s personal opinion, questioned if he was a journalist or a politician and ended by dismissing it for not being an interview. It as edge of the seat viewing and I suspect Mannion was making a hasty exit soon after.
