Well how disappointing. CNNi has switched to CNN USA and is talking about Coronavirus.

Ros Atkins taken over... sounds like he's in F? Certainly not C as the opt was noticeable and James was sat there as it opt-out.

Back to Ben Brown in E. I guess Ros was filling whilst Ben was taking Sophie's seat.

Wonder why James didn't continue until Ben was ready, Ros was probably scheduled for 20:00 BST so came on 90 minutes early.

Very disappointing.

We won't hear about Beirut again now on CNN.

What an awful decision to switch to the US channel, while Becky is in Abu Dhabi, right next door to the story. The coverage was good until now.

It is a real disservice to viewers around the world.

Regarding CNN, I wonder if they will pick this up again when Amanpour starts. Really silly to go back to CNN USA who are not covering when they could have got Becky to cover it until 7pm and then Christiane Amanpour could pick it up from there.

Rolling Eyes if you call two and a half thousand Km 'next door'

I mean in the Middle East region, as opposed to switching to the US channel in Washington who were not covering it, as it doesn't affect the US.

Amanpour is Live on CNNI right now, covering the story briefly at the beginning, before switching to Coronavirus coverage. Not sure how this will play in about 9 hours on PBS.

I agree they should be covering it, but these days it doesn't really matter if the story is presented from 2,500km away or 10,000km in Atlanta. Unless they have someone actually there they'll just be relying on other people's pictures.

Thing is that now it seems to be just an accident, not a terrorist or political act it's a lot less interesting a story for the news channels, especially the American ones
