These BBC pre-recorded programmes are intensely irritating. It's bad enough that coverage has to be fragmented due to World News simulcasts; breaking it up further with scheduled programming that 0% of viewers have tuned in to watch is inexcusable.
Interesting to hear that Sky's got new footage available; evidently, the estimates I heard on the BBC getting new footage up was a bit optimistic, but perhaps they'll have it ready from the TOTH. We'll see, I suppose.
I've been less than impressed with the showing of the pre-rec progs, also baring in mind the News channel is also going out on BBC One (although for its regular overnight simulcast), I would have thought they would have had a contingency plan in place. Mind you, at about 11pm it did seem to have quitened down a bit... maybe it caught them unawares?
Deborah Macenzie anchoring and the teams on the ground should be commended for their fantastic work in the last few hours.

Whoever is broadcasting obviously has a much simpler setup to that used by Sky and the BBC. I think it's probably just someone with a mobile.

That more recent footage was shown around 20 minutes ago on Sky News.

Sky News had some more recent footage of an Aldi store in flames.
New footage has finally made it on air on BBC News Channel; I don't currently have access to Sky News, so I don't know if it's the same footage that was shown on Sky half an hour ago, but my understanding was that BBC crews had recorded their own footage.

That was actually a repeat of an interview that took place at 0410.
