On [[6 March]], [[2006]], Wells, from [[New York]], reported on the crisis in [[London]] following the destruction of [[Big Ben]] at the hands of an [[alien]] [[Slitheen craft|spacecraft]] as it crashed into the [[River Thames]]. She announced that the [[military]] was on the lookout for more [[spaceship]]s while all flights in [[North America]]n [[air space]] had been grounded until further notice; the [[President of the United States]] was to address [[United States of America|the nation]] live from the [[White House]] while the [[Secretary General]] asked that [[people]] watched the [[sky|skies]].

Later, at [[midnight]] in New York [[time]], Wells announced that the United Nations had gathered as [[England]] had seemingly provided them with "absolute proof" of the existence of "massive [[weapon]]s of [[destruction]]". With the [[Security Council]] planning to make a resolution in a matter of [[minute]]s, Wells announced that [[human]]ity's first [[interplanetary war]] would begin once the [[United Nations]] released the codes granting the [[United Kingdom]] access to [[nuclear weapon]]s. Wells continued to report as the Council made its vote before finally announcing that the Council had agreed to release the codes. ([[TV]]: ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'') A clip of the newsreader was included on [[www.whoisdoctorwho.co.uk|whoisdoctorwho.co.uk]], which bore the text "[[Bad Wolf meme|Mal Loup]]".

In [[2008]], Wells reported that [[President of the United States|President]] [[Arthur Winters]] was furious at the "unilateral action" taken by [[Great Britain]] after British [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] [[Saxon Master|Harold Saxon]] announced [[first contact]] with the [[Toclafane]], a supposed alien race. The following day, at three [[AM]] in the [[morning]] on the [[eastern seaboard]], Wells announced that President Winters, who appeared to greet the Toclafane aboard the [[aircraft carrier]] ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]'', had been chosen to lead the world into a new age. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') Soon after, Wells reported on the attempted [[Toclafane invasion]], announcing the death of the President and the subsequent disappearance of Harold Saxon, who was himself presumed dead.

In the [[2000s]],{{note|According to the episode ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'', [[Martha Jones]]' present day during [[Series 3 (Doctor Who)|series 3]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' takes place over a six-day period, with {{Simm}} being elected three days after ''Smith and Jones'', and the [[Toclafane]] [[Toclafane invasion|invading Earth]] five days after ''Smith and Jones''. However, [[Aliens of London dating controversy|sources differ on which dates these stories are set]]. According to [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Paradox Moon (short story)|The Paradox Moon]]'', the Toclafane invasion happens on [[23 June]] [[2007]], placing the events of ''Smith and Jones'' on [[18 June]]. According to [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Hysteria (audio story)|Hysteria]]'', ''Smith and Jones'' takes place in [[2008]], with a [[UNIT]] mission log in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Recruits (audio story)|Recruits]]'' referring to the recovery of moon rocks from [[Royal Hope Hospital]] in [[March]] 2008. A newspaper clipping in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Secret Lives of Monsters (short story)|The Secret Lives of Monsters]]'' places ''Smith and Jones'' on a [[Sunday]] [[4 June]], thus placing the Toclafane invasion on [[Friday]] [[9 June]]. In the real world, these dates do not fall on a Sunday and Friday in either 2007 or 2008.}} Wells reported that [[President of the United States|President]] [[Arthur Winters]] was furious at the "unilateral action" taken by [[Great Britain]] after British [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] [[Saxon Master|Harold Saxon]] announced [[first contact]] with the [[Toclafane]], a supposed alien race.
