I wonder if we will get any "high profile" anchors out there. Is Lyse there?

I believe Lyse is in Afghanistan at the moment, but is scheduled to go back to Benghazi at some point.

As expected CNNI & CNNUS are in joing coverage again. John Vause with Fredricka Whitfield. Hala Tweeted she'll be coming in to anchor too.

I would expect that as the situation in Libya becomes increasingly tense, with air strikes inevitable and greater risk on entering the country, anchor positions will probably be set-up offshore in Malta and Cairo, as was the case during the airstrikes in the early 1990's (in those days, sanctions prevented foreign journalists from entering anyway.)

Upcoming schedule change.... KO of the Rugby in Paris later delayed for Sarkozy Presidential Address.

No revised KO time released yet.

I believe it was N9.

I wonder what BBC America did, given the Rugby OB is also going out to them. (Perhaps they were in a commercial break at the time?)

They did one at 4.25pm too - and the second didn't really add to that. First time in a long time I've seen a "News Report" on BBC1 - I guess thank god for the rugby as otherwise they may have just taken the lazy route and gone to the News Channel. They'll be happy a delayed kick-off though gives them the option to extent the news, although I'm not sure they have any such info to warrant it at the moment.

Anyone got any screen caps/video?

Presumably the Sarkoy statement that's caused the delay would be enough to fill it? Just the right duration, too Smile

KO delay not significant apparantly ... just 5mins.
