BBC London's early evening bulletin didn't go out.

Sorry you aren't getting any @BBCLondonNews this evening. We were unable to go on air because of a serious technical problem #stillnoidea

Did they air South East Today?

They took the sustaining feed which is the NC according to Victoria Hollins. There is a back-up plan apparently, which will probably mean they'll be in A for the 2220 bulletin.

Just to confirm by looking at the iPlayer feed, they took Sportsday which then crashed back into network weather.

The problem related to a sound issue.

On a side issue is there a reason that the sustaining feed cannot be another region I.e. London with North West say as the second. It would at least avoid crashing out of the news channel.

No technical reason why another region couldn't be put to air, either via RedBee on the sustaining feed or via Coding and Mux, if there is sufficient notice. Or depending on the nature of the fault it might be possible to opt out with a feed of another region going through the gallery, particularly for things like video server failures.

BBC London back, and is in Studio D

6:30 live cross from Alice Bhandhukravi interrupted by man shouting "F*** her right in the *****".

Is this the first case in the UK?

If it's the clip I saw, he was walking past as he said it, and you could quite easily missed him saying it.

Yes that's the one. Alice was shaken up quite a bit from the incident.

I would be shaken up to because it's sexual harassment, degrading towards women and could be considered a threat. . I wish someone would come forward and identify the man so he can face repercussions. A Canadian man was fired from a job after yelling FHRITP to a City TV News reporter who later confronted the man at a football match.
