After 'doorstepping' Gadaffi himself yesterday, Lisa Holland is now talking once again to Saif Gaddafi. He also gave her 'an exclusive personal tour of Tripoli'.

Meanwhile Ruth Barnett, the once Twitter correspondent, is joining the Weekend Sunrise team as a political reporter.

There was a Sky News management/staff Q&A this lunchtime. Never seen so many of my colleagues in one room without free booze being present.

Seem like an age waiting for the Sky News iPad app but by the sounds of it a lot of work has gone into it.
Quote:
Just had a sneak preview of new Sky News app for #iPad 'The Insider'. Head of Sky News says it's a "game-changer". Launches March 17th.

Matt Smith is still on at 2am so it looks like they recorded the 12:00-12:30 and are just playing that back every 30 minutes, We didn't get the TOTH sequence either at 2am it just had the Sky News logo in the glass environment but the voiceover did say Live from the Sky News centre, This is Sky News with Matt Smith

Edit: Sky News was not live at all last night, Matt Smith was still on until 6am

The gallery backdrop is so boring now - was nice at first but the overuse of it just makes it look drab now.

Also how do they get away with saying 'LIVE from the Sky News Centre' overnight when it not live?

Did he inhale and swallow them before they landed back in the pan.

I bet he did.
