I get the feeling from that clip that Beth and Kay do not get on at all.


That's reading a lot into a 2-minute video clip though.

Most international news channels running with the Theresa May news except of course CNNI who are instead doing an interview with Sanjay Gupta about US healthcare (and it's not even a US simulcast).
CNN's actual Brexit coverage when they get to it is normally pretty good - especially from the London team - but they really let their journalists done by taking far too long to get to it and not breakign into non-rolling news programs.

If you follow either on social media you'll know it to be quite the opposite.

Indeed, they seem like good friends to me.

Really cannot believe what we're seeing. Feel sorry for the kids who have to study Brexit in history or politics in a few decades time.

So Brexit Day now changed... surprised we didn’t get a strap or a news report interruption from the main channels, but I guess we’re not far away from the 10.

And it’s not often you see the zoom to the clock on channels other than BBC Parliament!

I wish there was the capability of BBC World News to continue producing World News America for PBS stations in the US while the North American feed of BBC WN continued rolling with Brexit coverage. At the BOTH Christian Fraser was just cut right off mid sentence as the graphics rolled.

Edit: Worth mentioning that the first half hour of WNA was preempted and only the back half hour is ever used for PBS simulcasts.

Edit 2: With every time a Aston appears the fully red bar in place of the ticker shows the bbc.co.uk/news url address. Since they use the “redded” out bar could it be a reasonable guess that it’s coming from BBC London’s gallery?
