In France from what I watched at around 1am BST.

TF1 - Simulcast of LCI, but soon switched to normal programming.
France 2 - 'FLASH' - Coverage of the Nice attack from the secondary studio.

Most other French main channels continued with normal programming.

James Menendez and Sally Bundock have now handed over to David Eades and Victoria Fritz, also in World Studio C. It looks like BBC World News will roll double-headed for the day ahead, as they've done in the past.

Lyse Doucet, who was dispatched previously to the France terror attacks, is presently in Baghdad, and therefore not available.

CNN continue with John Vause, Isha Sesay (LA) and Becky Anderson (Paris). (Becky been on air virtually since 4pm BST yesterday!

Another marathon: BBC World now also have Ben Bland outside the French Embassy in London.

NC now simulcasting World. Why they didn't do that instead of simulcasting Breakfast, of which when I tuned in at 7.30am were talking about Tim Peake and sport beggars belief.

Sky News on the other hand have Jayne Secker presenting from Nice.

Annita McVeigh replaces Victoria Fritz on BBC World. NC still simulcasting with World. Derbyshire cancelled and BBC Two is simulcasting NC/World.

...in World Studio B, displacing Victoria.

David Eades, as former Euro Correspondent and who has a good working knowledge of Nice, proving a lucky allocation on the roster today.

I dread to ask The British broadcasters are there not using mobile clips of the truck plowing into people?

ARD had a Skype-type link to a German journalist in Nice shortly after the news broke:

This is as meta as it'll ever get. CNN showing a clip from Fox News who were simulcasting Sky News.

Has Studio B ever been used for rolling news before? I appreciate that they're probably only in there because it was staffed and ready to go for VD, which still appeared on the EPG until about 8:30 this morning.

The desk doesn't seem to contain screens, so the presenters are having to use laptops, which doesn't look as good.

I assume WN has gone their own way in Studio C?

No - World News has also been taking B since 9am. Studio B has been used for rolling news before, double headed like it is currently and in News style.
