And turn the lights off.
Strangely enough I was thinking the same thing, because theres lighting in the mine too.
NB - Seems like the Camera that's in the mine has Antivirus installed because a Windows Popup just appeared!
Will the last person be taking the camera and any other broadcast equipment with them or are they going to leave it all down there to get a shot of the last person leaving?

Discraceful IMO. The miners story maybe interesting, but that's it - interesting
The G20, Nato, Climate summits are not just interesting, they could affect people and businesses. They could dictate banking regulation, policy in Afghanistan etc. They need to have full coverage IMO. Yet license fee payers money has instead been spent on 'nice to have' extensive coverage from Chile which could have been done with less staff and at less cost (Look at CNNI, just 3 correspondents there and no presenter)

Hasn't the BBC only got four presenter/correspondents on site?
Matt Frei/Tim Willcox/Rajesh Mirchandani/Andrew Harding
and again the point that some of the money into the BBC News pot will come from BBC World News/BBC America and BBC.com.
In fact we just had another 'thanks for watching' line from Mike Embley, so sounds like another opt out for international services to have an ad break?
EDIT: Chris Eakin welcoming BBC World viewers back, so that answers my question.

It would be nice if there was some sort of studio based presenter being used at least to cover the joins and stop the endless padding.
The constant pauses, staring at cameras waiting for people to opt in and out and saying 'welcome back' even though we haven't been anywhere is a bit grating and regular viewers will wonder what is going on.
The start of the BBC News at One was particularly messy with Tim reading from his phone. Doing an intro in the studio and then straight to Chile would have been better.
