Rather dramatic moment on CNN as they cut to a correspondent on the scene, in Watertown I think, who reports smelling smoke. The CNN team now being asked to move across the street for their own safety.

No, her accent is irrelevant, she's awful, stumbling through everything. I'm sure she's fine with a script, but
she lacks the skill for the semi ad libbing required at present.

Okay, so I couldn't help myself and switched back to find the reporter saying: "There's a dog...it's barking...we don't know what that means." Shocked

Have been watching coverage on Sky and CNBC all morning. Just turned over to BBC news channel to see that they're not reporting the names of the suspects, quite staggering considering police have named them.

To be a bit fairer to CNN, they've now announced they've put a live feed on delay due to police converging on an area and taking some armed positions.

As posted on the BBCWN thread, she just started just this month... it seems she may actually need a lot more training. Confused

Since things seem to be moving up a gear, with a house supposedly surrounded, I wonder if the NC and WN will go back to simucalsting...
