Sichuan Earthquake Coverage

Another huge international news story, AIUI it's leading (with the Burma cyclone) on most of the international news channels (but I may be wrong). The BBC's TV coverage seems to be very sub-par, although it did get a mention on Breakfast as breaking news, and the BBC News website went into breaking-news mode earlier.

How are the over channels covering this earthquake?

No sign of John Ray, ITV's China correspondent on News at 10. I wonder will Jeremy head to Beijing.

Good to see Carrie Gracie with her knowledge of China being used today effectively on the NC and more recently on the One.

Afraid the subtitle to the thread this to be updated for the death toll... estimates go up to 50,000 rather than 9,000 now, unfortunately...

A news photo from Beichuan showing the sheer hell of the situation. In the foreground is the wreck of a car that had been rolled upon by a rock, like those shown.
