CNN has Erica Hill presenting at the moment.
BBC News staying with breaking news coverage instead of going to Sportsday.
NBC News have started a special report in the last few minutes with Kristen Welker and ABC News has done the same with Diane Macedo - both also airing on their streaming networks. No special report from CBS News as of yet.
In the US, NBC breaks into Special Report at 13:43 EDT (18:43 BST)…
Bbc world news was showing bbc focus in Africa then onto the breaking news with the flipper then a double graphic bit, then it disappeared, then they just put a blank white space where the flipper normally is.

NBC signed off at 1400 EDT, and CBS signed on at 1400 EDT. Looks like it’s under control now.
ABC and CNN also now reporting that the suspect is dead.

Hopefully this is OK in this thread. On BBC News at Ten just now - it looked like a Sky News logo had been blurred out on a microphone muff, during coverage of the Capitol incident. Odd, since the same footage appeared unblurred during the TOTH headlines...?
I don't think they were purposely blurring the Sky News (Arabia) logo, the blur stayed on screen for the majority of the report

Fair point - I'd overlooked that, but yes, the blur seemed to stay in place for the following few shots, even though there was nothing obvious they'd want to blur out. Odd!
