And as much as things seem to have escalated sadly the long standing situation there means to me anyway it isn't the major news story it is to you. Neither of us are wrong - that's just highlights the balancing act the BBC have to tackle.
It's also worth remembering with a seemingly surprise attack like this although the journalists on the ground might be somewhat prepared the news organisations probably are not - and with fewer resources it's better to let the journalists do their job than have them confined to one place updating viewers for the sake of it, especially if that makes them a target themselves.
It's the sort of situation where it's better to get your information from reporting this evening than live, fast moving and hence unverified updates this morning.
Why are you excusing this? How is it serving viewers to doggedly stick to a simulcast of another channel when they literally have a feed they could switch to of international news?
This is a big story. They’ve brought one of their big presenters in to anchor it this afternoon. If they’re supposedly agile enough to switch to a UK feed, they need to be able to go the other way too.

You know it's serious news when they drop the Click repeats.

Watched a bit of the breaking coverage on World before (after dropping my access some months ago after the launch of the merged channel). So they now have this white full screen graphic with a box for the presenter, a smaller box for other footage and the breaking news sting and a bit for contextual text?
Whereas before the old supers acknowledged the audience’s intelligence and cycled through contextual information. That was it. It’s all they needed.
It’s all so messy. All so poorly executed. All so disrespectful to the audience.

Which is what I said earlier.

It's because of those all so important smart phone viewers, who according to BBC are a little bit slow and need those extra "explainers".

Wouldn't smart phone users prefer less text on screen because the screen is smaller?

Well they’re back in studio C and seemed to have zoomed out more on the opening shot:

You can tell things are still serious 24 hours on as the News Channel didn't take Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg (with Victoria Derbyshire) this morning.

Along with Click, the Travel Show and Sportsday were also pulled yesterday.
