CNNI has totally lost the plot. Ralitsa disappeared, they are simulcasting domestic and the dreadful Fredrika Withield struggling with world capitals. They also have the usual fluff news like nothing is happening.
Hala Gorani is coming in to anchor from 6 pm and try to save the day but it's been a total disaster so far.

Great. Adam parsons is just the man we need to break news on Libya. Matthew Price now live from roof of hotel on BBC NC. Adnan Nawaz now on. World simulcast? Beaten to it!

Is Adam really that bad?!!

Sky dipped out of coverage for an ad break at about 22:45.

Tim Marshall now in at Sky Centre with Stephen Dixon, could we see a senior presenter getting the call up for the overnight?

Sky journalists on Twitter saying Alex Crawford is now half a kilometer away from Green Square, presumably aiming to broadcast live from there if possible.

Pleased they have brought Tim Marshall in.

Edit: They hope to have her live on air shortly.

CNN showed Sky News video at the top of this hour.

Things much better now with Hala on air as expected, hope they stick with this story only instead of the domestic crap.

EDIT: Now they are showing more of the Sky News video.

Massive error of judgement during the 10pmUK hour. Bad enough CNN/US weren't in rolling coverage, but CNNI took CNN/US most of the hour and therefore were not in rolling coverage

Back with CNN/US now, and luckily CNNI's Hala Gorani is filling in tonight, but even still they just teased a weather story, albeit an important one, so does not appear they are in full rolling coverage

We need better than ex sports monkeys on right now. Where are the live correspondents? Just got in from pub and BBC coverage is woeful. Sky have AC live from city centre.
