Be interesting to see what BBC News Channel does at 10pm. Students still being held on Westminster Bridge

Chance nothing significant happens and the protestors go home peacefully?


Or the news channel remains in N8 or goes to N9?

Staying in N8 would assume BBC World News were running the same rolling coverage, it's hard to see them getting in additional workers to staff N9 for thirty minutes.

I think World News are staying with the News channel in N8, I only say that because Tim keeps saying 'British Prime Minister'.

It's still an unfolding event... especially the goings-on on Westminster Bridge. I'd of hoped they'd stay in N8 and continue the coverage, rather than going into the Ten.

Also, all the Politicians seem to be coming out the woodwork now, May, the PM etc - so I think continuing the coverage would be a good idea,

At least the BBC Weather team are having a good break at the moment, with the news channel being non-stop since 3pm. Wth all the snow coverage and weather forecasts recently, they need it!!!!

Has to be said that Ben Brown's reporting of the student protests today has been some of the most courageous and dramatic reporting I have ever seen before. Well done to his cameraman as well.

Just goes to show that Ben Brown is a much better correspondent and journalist than he is a presenter

Looks like they're going to go into the News at Ten on the News channel. Tim was simulcasting with World as his outcue was 'You're watching BBC News'.

I think it's a shame they've chosen to go into the Ten, but if they are unable to continue the news channel rolling from N8 or N9 its OK.

Sky News still rolling with no ads - must be since 3pm?

He was on air until 8pm - then Steve (sorry Stephen) Dixon took over.

Annoying that Sky News apologised because someone swore just before 10pm and they are now showing a video of Prince Charles' car without sound 'due to swearing'. If people are swearing, broadcast people swearing. It's the news, not an 8pm drama.

Thanks for that. Amazing to see the amateur footage of the Royal car and how close the protestors got to it.
