Or would this be when we get a reporter spring into action in a virtual cupboard studio, pedalling their own autocue for a few hours?I think this a case (and time) where World taking rolling UK news like this is justified. First Minister of Scotland is fairly powerful role for a subnational leader and has even more symbolic power. Plus Sturgeon has longevity and a degree of international reputation that justifies it.
The news broke just before 10am, so the joint 10am hour is going ahead as usual now, presumably because it was too late to get someone into World's studio to separate this morning.
And if it had happened 2 weeks ago on the same day as the earthquake?
