People know though the top story on Breakfast is at the TOTH and BOTH. And as much as things seem to have escalated sadly the long standing situation there means to me anyway it isn't the major news story it is to you. Neither of us are wrong - that's just highlights the balancing act the BBC have to tackle.
It's also worth remembering with a seemingly surprise attack like this although the journalists on the ground might be somewhat prepared the news organisations probably are not - and with fewer resources it's better to let the journalists do their job than have them confined to one place updating viewers for the sake of it, especially if that makes them a target themselves.
It's the sort of situation where it's better to get your information from reporting this evening than live, fast moving and hence unverified updates this morning.
