I wonder if BBC News & World News take footage from AJE again, as they did last week with the interview with Morgan Tsvangirai.
Yep

Fan-f*cking-tastic! Now that is what's missing from other news bulletins.
One expects Mrs. Slocombe to appear behind the creature, trying to capture it, as it is undoubtedly hers!
Hilarious. That animal is now an icon.

Oh they are now? I was watching their TOTH at about 11pm AEST and they were only showing pictures of an empty podium

The BBC and Al Jazeera have a footage sharing agreement I believe...
When I was at the beeb they had a footage share agreement with AJ like they do with ABC, NHK and some other broadcasters, however that didn't include 'Al Jazeera Exclusives'.
No idea if the deal included AJE or continued after it launched. I don't think they'd mind having their logo and name plastered all over a rival though

The cat is in the AJ building, it's his YouTube account, presumably he would have access to the raw footage

Excerpt from this fortnight's
Private Eye
:
Satellite TV station al Jazeera's New York reporter, the former BBC business news presenter John Terrett, has earned himself a rare distinction. He has been banned from travelling with the United Nations security council or with the UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon and his entourage, following an explosive altercation in Sudan between Terrett and mild mannered UN press spokesman Yves Sorokobi.
Only after special pleading was the UN persuaded not to send Terrett and his team back on the next plane to New York, fearing that Sudanese officials who had witnessed his astonishing behaviour might decide to let him cool down in one of their notorious jails.
Sorokobi was left visibly shaken after Terrett lost his rag and began shouting, swearing and jabbing his finger at the hapless UN spokesman, the hack having arrived late for a security council press briefing in Khartoum. A ferocious Terrett exploded, describing Sorokobi as a "f****** c***" and then engaged in a ferocious argument in front of other senior UN officials and the assembled UN press corps, some of whom recall that John "Tourette" Terrett has serious form.
When he was a New York-based business corr for the BBC, "Tourette" had to be escorted out of the Times Square office where Auntie was based, as he was exploding at colleague Michelle Fleury. On that occasion a glass door was broken by a departing Terrett as a trembling Fleury dialled her bosses asking for assistance.

Yes, Hamish is rather dishy, LOL.
Good to see ex-Reporting Scotland and ex-ITN Harry Smith reporting live tonight on AJE. He is covering the War Crimes tribunal in The Hague. Is Harry on AJE staff, or freelance?
