Can someone please give the link to the Windows media broadband feed that is on the BBC News website. For some reason I can't get the broadband version here at uni.

Rumours going around that there could be some sort of incident at Canary Wharf. Probably just a hoax though.

Anyone know if the emergency phone number they've been promising is up and running yet?

This is horrific but I supposed we were well prepared for such an attack. I am very impressed with Sky's coverage.

Over to the Regions now on BBC1. Look North (NE&C) is leading with travel disruption from Newcastle Central Station.

Do ITV not have to have ad breaks at some point? Or are they excused in special circumstances like this?

What is the point of Sky News being on Sky One ?

If you have Sky One, you'll have access to Sky News.

Which is probably why it isn't really important to have regional news at a time like this, as they will only lead on the national story. We all know regional news like to have a local angle on national stories
