That looks like Look East's Cambridge studio. Make the most of seeing it on screen, it'll be gone next weekend.

It looks like they've already gone, but left the house lights on for the crew to strike the set.

Is it normal in TV to leave things like cameras still powered up when theres no broadcast?

Yes. Back when they used Barcos, they were left on all the time as well as it wasn't worth the risk of them becoming uncalibrated by turning them off and on (calibration would take hours).

Ah fond/terrible (delete as appropriate) memories of people complaining about "Gaps in the BARCOs"

I think it was more crazy paving.

A BBC News presenter broke down crying (apologies, I don't know her name) earlier today while announcing the deaths of three children who were pulled from an icy lake.

Joanna Gosling.

And understandable given the circumstances.

It’s such a raw moment- and definitely not a criticism of Joanna Gosling- but slightly surprised BBC News clipped this up.

Was a raw moment to watch it, am not surprised in the slightest the BBC have clipped it. She certainly isn't the first BBC presenter to show their emotions on air and won't be the last.

EDIT - changed 'her' to 'their'.

Joanna's reaction reminds me somewhat of when an emotional Martyn Lewis broke the initial news of when Diana, Princess of Wales had crashed (but not yet died) on the night of 31 August 1997.
