Someone in the BBC Newsroom will announce it. Jonathan Munro for example, the presenter and of course a schedule change Twitter account.

Thank you! I've been using the Radio Times page which was updated today and said there was a briefing by Matt Hancock today(14th Jan), speculating this is due to yesterday's number of deaths and vaccines, and as far as I can see there isn't one.

Although the link on the BBC schedule currently takes you to a recording of the one with Priti Patel earlier in the week.

It was linking to this https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000rp83 one (which has had the date changed to today) but they've obviously corrected it. Also https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000rp83/sign/bbc-news-special-coronavirus-update-15012021

Ok thanks for that Alex, though still not seeing what you’re seeing. Shocked

ITV meets BBC TWO meets Downing Street:

Bit of a chastisement from Simon McCoy just there, after an on-site interview with the PM (doesn't seem to be a general BBC News thread, but it's CV related):

Quote:
Boris Johnson there, talking to our political correspondent Nick Eardley, who sounded as though he was wearing a mask, talking to the Prime Minister, who looked as though he wasn't.


You tell 'im, Si!

Nick said at 15:12 he only took it off for the interview so he could be heard clearly

I noticed on Sunday night, the BBC's Judith Moritz doing a remote interview with the father of one of the Arena bombing victims.

Judith was in an office, interviewing him on her laptop. The father was in his garden, not on Zoom/Skype, but via what looked like an ENG video link. Judith was being shot using another crew.

It's not the first time I've seen such things, I've seen both the interviewers and interviewee both talking to each other on their respective lap tops, and both being shot doing so. Not just the Beeb, ITN and Sky too.

I'm not sure two crews travelling around, is better than one crew in the same place as both parties ?

And if both parties aren't in the same place? Might be better to use two crews local to each location (one presumably already working out of that location) than have the interviewer travel a longer distance.
