The Moroccan journalists then try to stage a walkout, but because of the nature of the seating, you know, sort of theatre-style seating, they couldn't get out, there's people in the way.

I think the key point is they don't really have to do anything now.

And that was the moment at which a decision was clearly taken to give him the job full-time.
