That's the problem with the supposed planned UK breaking news teams, which from insiders aren't as fleshed out as they'd like us to believe they are. They need to get on air in a timely manner - if they're already on air it's easy enough to pick it up as soon as the story breaks. If they're not they're either relying on it being covered by BBC World News until they get to air or apparently sitting around twiddling their thumbs as the rival channels cover it in detail and the BBC get to air probably at best half an hour later given it's not only a question of powering up the studio and getting a presenter in place but also deciding whether they need to go to air in the first place.
