London bombings - TV news coverage

The ticker is now showing messages from people caught in the incidents and people looking to find out if others are safe similar to after the Tsunami

looks liek ITV are continuing with the rolling coverage - Andrew Harvey providing updates from the newsroom.

EDIT: Mark Austin and Andrea Catherwood now presenting on ITV1

That was a filler whilst they swapped presenters in the studio - it's now Mark Austin and Andrea Catherwood.

You could hear them talking in the studio about finding a microphone for Mark etc.

Must be odd for people who never watch the News Channel to suddenly see BBC old-timers like Harvey and Nicolson playing a part in the ITV1 coverage.

German Magazine Der Spiegel is reporting that a group called "Al Qaeda in Europe" is claiming responsibility

Sky News has switched to this ticker again...

News will continue on BBC ONE until at least 1800.

Is Darren Jordan going to present the 1o'clock news?

What about ITV? I take it we won't be seeing the regions again?

Do you think they'll carry on after the lunchtime news slot?

The Cafe I am in is Showing Five News Coverage with Kate Sanderson doing a very good job in the circumstances, i am surprised thou they arent opting with Sky News.

Proberly.... this is a terrorist attack. Never been a situation like this ever in this country... when i turned on the news, though it was one of those if programmes....

Hmmmm, that seems a bit OTT. There doesn't seem to be any new information coming in and the story has reached that point where information is being repeated onscreen. I hope this is the end and that there aren't any signs of further attacks today!

I can't see ITV1 going past 14:00 with their rolling news coverage.

Charles Clarke confirms tubes won't run again today.
