News Coverage War in Ukraine

[Mouseboy33]

CNN's Klarissa Ward in Kharkiv did a live report from the subway showing people fleeing to the subway station as shelter. It was sad to see people and children and pets hiding in the subway station to hide. It was very reminiscent of the Blitz in London during WWII. It was shocking and truly heartbreaking. CNN has been amazing. Mixing the military analysts mixed with the reporters on the ground.

Looks like World have taken the entirety of the One. I think we can assume it'll be a joint service for the remainder of the day.

BBC World have now split from News, with Yalda Hakim in Studio C - News continuing with Ben Brown in Studio E.

I have to say how excellent the various news channels around the world are handling this situation - for example constantly providing breaking news alerts as soon as they get them. Watching Sky News at the moment and I have to say, they're handling the war news like professionals.

My thoughts go out to all those in Ukraine who are going through the hardest time in their lives.

Yes of course - joint service will recommence at the TOTH.

Sorry, what does TOTP stand for?

I think a double headed presentation are so important for stories such as this. WIth so many moving parts. Briana and John handling 2 different parts of the broadcast. One doing analysts and commentators and other directing the coverage with the military analysts and reporters. THis was how CNN handled big war stories in the past.

Also they have returned to adverts. But they have pushed back the adverts leaving up the Breaking News banner and the corner logo and changing the main text to LIVE CNN COVERAGE NEXT. The left side of the advert thats playing is a graphic that says RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE. Beneath that is a small box show a live shot of KYIV. The entire background is a snowy smoky field.

Obviously at the moment communications are still good in Kyiv at the moment (and there is a theory Russia wants the world to see their actions) but always amazes me how good the quality of coverage can be in these situations. Is it likely all be satellite, or nowadays by fibre - though presumably concerned over how robust that might be should things worsen quickly.

I imagine it will be LiveU which relies on the local mobile telephone network being up and running. I can't imagine satellite or fibre being remotely feasible in these areas.

BBC/ITN/Sky all have flyaway Ku satellites at their hotels in Kyiv but are using LiveU as well for backup/other locations.

It's all via satellite (my source, asking the person who actually installed the kit).
