We stop. The situation is tense, we know we won’t be able to stay here long. I head to find local people to interview while Dominique and the video reporter take pictures of the bodies in the street and the damaged trolleybus. The strike, I am told, took place half an hour earlier. At the gate to a nearby building, I approach a group of locals – who accuse the media of concealing the truth, a charge often heard here. I tell one of them I am here to describe what I see. “Come inside then,” he says, inviting me up into his family apartment.
