I agree the This Morning live blog was unnecessary and everytime someone reacts to the developments on social media doesn't bump it up to the top story too.Isn't that because this particular Turkish election is of more significance?
However I will also say my first thought this moment on opening the app and seeing two of the top three stories being related to the Turkey elections was that BBC World News were pretty much dictating content there too and it was being given higher prominence than previous Turkish elections might have had.
a) it's their first ever presidential run-off election
b) their autocratic president has just won another five years in power
So it's not exactly a standard routine election that would normally get third or fourth billing in the headlines. It is a big story.
And indeed, the Turkish election is leading the One, which incidentally is coming from B, with Matthew Amroliwala. Must be his first network bulletin in about a decade? Certainly his first appearance in B. (Incidentally he's wearing a tie)
