Another case of who?

Details still sketchy it seems but can't help but feel if it was in London BBC would have coverage on BBC1.

I have to sadly agree with you on that. There would have been a reporter on the ground as soon as they could. It does sometimes feel that London and the “north” (as viewed by the BBC mainly Manchester and the surrounding area) stories like this get lots of coverage and yet others parts it hardly gets a mention. 

Talking about the ITV updates, when did the BBC drop their morning news summaries on BBC One. I can remember when they used to give the on the balcony overlooking the news room, and I am fairly sure I can remember Darren Jordan giving them in the berco studio but when I changed jobs I stopped having days off in the week
