LaSexta reporting that police are talking to two individuals who are entrenched with large weapons (if my translation of their ticker is right).

Authorities are asking people to use social media to communicate so that the phone networks don't collapse.

Reuters are reporting two men are entrenched in a restaurant.

Sky now reporting that police are treating it as a terrorist attack. Not sure which Spanish news channel's pictures they are taking.

BBC One hasn't broke away from Pointless yet from what I have seen. I don't think they will opt away since the News At Six is only 30 minutes away.

BBC didnt interrupt for other European incidents like Berlin or Stockholm. I will be surprised if there are changes on BBC1 or Two today unless major developments occur.

That seems to point to the restaurant hold up having ended.
