Since shortly before 0630, large parts of Nottingham city centre have been closed due to "ongoing major police incidents":

Nottinghamshire Police itself confirmed an "ongoing serious incident" just before 0800.

As far I could see, there was no mention of this on any of the major UK news outlets until some time later. GMB broke the news at 0824:

I believe Sky broke the news at 0830, referring to the Notts Police tweet on air:



At the same time as that was going out on GMB, BBC News stuck with a seemingly interminable three-minute promo for Morning Live, before going to local news. Breakfast finally broke the news after returning at the 0830 BOTH. 





Note the welcome reappearance of the double-line lower-thirds for breaking news, with scrolling/flipping additional info.

What seems remarkable is that we're now well over two hours into a major incident that has effectively shut down a UK city centre... and still no-one seems to have the slightest idea what's going on. 

And with nothing else to report apart from "there's an incident", broadcasters have (understandably!) returned to coverage of other stories, rather than sticking with rolling coverage of the Nottingham situation.
