BBC News are claiming to be live with the Gwyneth Paltrow testimony but in fact they are about a minute behind what Sky News are showing.

Previously it was used only during the big ones - like Sue Gray report, or budget statement. Now I've just seen two in a row - first about Gwyneth Paltrow trial, and now - about Biden's visit to Canada during the joint press conference (which kicked out today's Newswatch out of its usual place).The pushback sidebar is quite a useful at-a-glance overview and will be particularly appreciated if we are less likely to have correspondents on the scene to provide context in the future - it’s use is a positive.

You mean:
*shuffles papers, looks down*
“You’re watching *pause* BBC News”
*bulletin close, awkward pause*
*presenter re-appears*
“Now, on BBC News, we join our team at Politics Live for Prime Minister’s Question’s”
Smoother than crashing into guide dogs unannounced (which they did again after the News at Ten yesterday!) but still a bit odd really.

I saw it, there was no smooth transition. The NC crashed out of Politics Live around 12:35pm with Chris Mason in mid-flow, back into studio E with a pause and then "you're watching BBC News" from Rebecca Jones, and onto the next story.
There was nothing professional about it.

At 11pm the court hearing ended for the day, so things went back to normal shortly afterwards.
