The Libya coverage has really stepped down a gear today which is disappointing, perhaps something to do with different editors because of 'International Women's Day'?
Hopefully it will step up at 5pm when Alex Crawford's latest package from Zawiyah is due to air.
Edit: Alex Crawford's 10 minute report was, as ever, superb.

Astonishing. Looking forward to the special from Tripoli at 9pm and I've just seen a tweet saying "more at 10pm tonight". Presumably there is even stronger post-watershed material. Hope she and her team have made it out safely.

Adam Boulton making and flipping pancakes in the Millbank studio's rather fancy looking kitchen made for rather bizarre viewing!

Nice to see a different side to Adam

To the best of my knowledge, most reports and some lives have been in HD throughout? Nearly all of the 10 minute Crawford package was in HD too...
Lisa Holland now doing a live in HD. First time I've seen HD being used for the Libya story.

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.

Interesting Press Preview tonight
Kelvin MacKenzie made me laugh during a discussion with Amy Lame over pensions, she said “its all great and fine for you saying that with your private pension and owning I’m sure lots of different properties you can cash in and retire very comfortably whenever you want, not everyone can be a brilliant multi-million earning journalist like you” His response was “That’s true so I'm making so much money that I’m appearing on Sky News at half past eleven at night in front of the world's smallest television audience, that’s how great it’s been for me”
Then later they were talking about the BBC Journalists who were detained and beaten up and Kelvin brought up about Alex Crawford's report shown yesterday and Asked Anna Botting what advice the Sky News management would give Alex Crawford now, Anna said the Sky News management were worried about her over the weekend as Alex and her team were trapped in Zawiyah from Friday until Sunday, They were taken to a mosque where they were told they would be safe which was repeatedly shot at and was turned into a temporary hospital, they feared for their lives, Sky News decided not to run the material until Alex and her team were out of the country because the material was severely damaging to Gaddafi’s regime
