Ginny just muffed up whilst plugging Rubin's WNT, getting the lines completely wrong before simply staring at the camera. To top that off, she just said to Jon Desborough, regarding cricket, "I wish England would play well in both halves". Why, oh why do they put her at he sports desk?!

We are treated to 2 hours of Rubin tonight from the Jerusalem Bureau, 20:00-22:00, because of the Israeli Elections, worth watching?

Am I right in saying that Martin Popplewell or Lucy Alexander went on until 2am last Sunday?

Some very good coverage from both News 24 and Sky News this afternoon. Both channels now have a camera live in amongst the crowds. Chaotic.

I like Sky's little window in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (though not right in the corner, reasonably near the centre) showing live coverage of Paris during the Sky Report.

Just a shame it's not a little higher as it's clashing with some of the straps.

They've now added the Active strap telling us to press red for Paris.

I would say having rolling live feed coverage of a riot is unnecessary and sensationalist. Lazy and irresponsible broadcasting.
What are they waiting to happen ? Some real physical harm to happen to a protestor or the police 'Live On Sky?

Sadly how things have become.

You would also have to aim that comment at the BBC, Fox, CNN amongst others who are also shown rolling coverage.

This is a massive protest and in no ways is irresponsible. It demonstrates a genuine anger on the street of France. Of course nobody to wanting violence but it is, argueably, a feature of protests to have violence. Remember, it is not the medias job to create news but to report it and currently this is a massive international story with deserves its weighting across the news channels. Irresponsible? tell that to the security teams in Paris currently having to protect journalists to be able to report this. Better still, why don't you go to Paris and call this trival, see what kind of responce you get....

Rubin has been good this evening. Mind you, no autocue.
I think this is how they should use him all the time.
