Jeremy Paxman interviews Chole Smith
Paul Massion is giving some background to the topic and in some way agrees with Paxman. He is a journalist, he would ask direct questions in order to create a stable report. Paxman is skilled at getting past the political waffle and asks key questions intended for attack. Chloe attempts to hide behind her answers and refuses to give any details away. She keeps repeating her answer and Paxman keeps on asking the same question; this is a technique that interviewers use to corner their interviewee so that they will answer the question effectively.
VT is developing audience understanding
Chloe Smith is avoiding questions, she blocks him- makes her look uncomfortable
Sound bite against her-quote
Smith  was quite unprepared to receive the questions and she does not seem to have all the answers.
Cornering the interviewee by repeating the key question.  It focuses on the main topic and prevents the question will being pushed aside.
They have to give the answers they want- getting to the point
Summary- asking rhetorical questions, responding in the way the interviewee is treating the topic.
Windup: there is no time for more questions, the interviewer would say 'thank you'.
End of the interview  if there is time the interviewer (or journalist) would end with a lighthearted question and be polite. If an artist was the interviewee they would perform for the audience, such as Ed Sheeran singing a song from his new album on 'The Graham Show'.
