By all means they could/should create an article on their website for it, and even announce it on the News channel for those not watching it. However, the breaking news alert spoils it a bit for those watching, as well as it being one of many misuses (in my opinion) of the 'Breaking News' alerts.
Time to delete.
Maybe it's time the BBC News app allowed users the option to choose what 'breaking news' alerts they receive, if they're hellbent on increasing using it for things that don't really warrant a breaking news alert.
