CNNI's Isha Sesay (now based in Atlanta) has just appeared at Heathrow Airport.
Hopping between World, CNNI and Sky News, I have to say that CNN's coverage is by far the best.
The normally excellent Sky News is exceedingly repetitive this evening.

No, but CNN have kept it fresh by showing different packages. Sky are just repeating the same old ones over and over again.

James, do you know if Adrian Finighan was involved in covering today's news at all? I only managed to tune in at 12.00 BST and they were rolling from London (it's usually WN Asia at that time) with Monita Rajpal and Max Foster. I saw Todd Benjamin hanging around in the newsroom - did he do Business International today instead of Adrian? If so, was Adrian out on the road?

Sorry, Rob. I have no idea. I am on duty at that time (Adrian's normal shift).
Tonight, the coverage is now being anchored by Charles Hodson and Stephen Frazier (of CNN US, who is temporarily filling in for Jim Clancy, who is in Beirut).
And Becky is still at LHR.

This morning on Breakfast I cought Fiona Bruce who spoke to Bill Turnball from Heathrow...why was she there? Going on holiday and caught up?
That's right.

Exactly right. She was just on the Ten as well doing a report for them.
By the way what time did the News 24 coverage on BBC1 stop? Did Julian and Jane do it all or did they replace them with some bigger names after a while?
