The news bulletin teams don't appear equipped to do anything beyond the hourly/half-hourly bulletins, and a summary of a breaking story, which also isn't ideal.
That's a in-house created problem due to the simple fact that a huge amount of their "talent" are serving MPs. Of course it's also not only the fact that those MPs "analyse" the breaking news stories but that they can't help themselves to insert their own opinion (numerous examples in the detailed Ofcom reports), which naturally means that not only is news presented by politicians (against the rules) but it is presented in an improper, imbalanced and biased way (of course also against the rules).
