Oh dear.
The BBC has landed itself in hot water for another on-air gaffe today after the BBC News channel mistakenly announced that a verdict had been reached in the trial of the men accused of murdering special constable Nisah Patel-Nasri.

Hardly hot water - it was a mistake, corrected seconds later.

A very bad mistake which could cost the BBC a lot if it was taken to the libel courts.

Still a big error, especially as they were drawing such huge attention to the BREAKING NEWS .

That is the case for wire stories on the World Service Radio - and is often but not always used for wire reports on BBC News/BBC World News. HOWEVER - direct witness reports from a BBC correspodent, reporter, producer etc. are not treated in the same way AIUI and are treated differently.
I assume this was a cock-up in communication between BBC staff rather than a wire being read out - though don't know. Court cases are usually handled by staff on the ground - not just wire coverage.

I thought the BBC had a policy of checking breaking news on at least two news wires before breaking it on air?

Thought it was very good use of N6 last night for the election coverage.
Two guests on either side of Jon at times, with a reporter at the LH wall doing 'number crunching' and James Landale appearing on the wall behind Jon.
Looked busy and interesting - they should do similar more often, using a variety of shots like that.

Yep, they did make good use of the space. However, I wasn't keen on James Landale being on the wall behind Jon. It looked very awkward and uncomfortable for Jon to be turning round like that.

Yeah - I didn't really understand why he didn't just swivel his chair round to face him rather than stretch to look over his shoulder.
