Sky News

I like the 'Afghanistan: The Future' branding, don't suppose anyone knows where I could get a image of the sting?

Alex Crawford bringing us amazing reports too, that exclusive was a big scoop - it was the top story on Arabic channels Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya earlier today.

Well Al Jazeera and Sky are direct competitors. If you're implying they used that report then you're wrong...They don't share material. Al Jazeera were actually leading with a piece on how easy it was to buy voting registration cards (which BBC is running today) and a piece from the Uzbek border on the importance of the Uzbek vote.

AlJazeera Arabic & Al Arabiya lead with Sky's exclusive yesterday. They both mentioned it was from Sky News, not their own channels.

Alex Crawford's report on a family in Afghanistan deciding to let their new born baby to die was certainly hard hitting stuff.

Just seen the report, its harrowing. This kind of reporting deserves recognition, I hope Alex is commended for her reporting.

Has this been shown all of yesterday, or is it intended for broadcast through today?

sky news double headed at the moment!

I guess that will be with Steve (Sky News Today) and Samantha (Live Desk)?

yes it is, with the newswall backdrop

While obviously a big story I don't quite see why it merits breaking the current policy of single headed presentation.

Samantha replaced with Sarah Hughes just now

sky news is so much better with a double headed presentation

They've stepped up a gear in classic Sky News style to cover this story.

Looked like they were having technical problems with the cameras at Greenock prison for a while though.
