Where does Sky News base it’s translators? Some loud mouth just heard in the background.

Yes, I heard him too ! As an aside, I thought some of the No 10 press conferences via Zoom were a shambolic mess, but this one sets a new low !
Some viewing figures from yesterday…

I was slightly surprised that the BBC recently sent Clive Myrie into Ukraine, against UK Foreign Office advice for British nationals to leave the country. I know that on-the-ground reporting is vital, but is it necessary for the programme to be anchored from there in this climate?

The same warnings come with every war, this is no different. Journalists are 'supposedly' protected to some extent if wearing the universally worn press jacket. Clive is no different to Clarissa Ward, Jim Scuitto or Mark Austin. The broadcaster might choose to pull its teams out if it becomes too dangerous, but very few journalists will leave on their own accord.
Is the RT website being blocked in the UK? I can't access it on my home ISP connection or mobile.
The right call by the GMB team considering they are off air over the weekend. Wonder though if they'll be any early morning ITV News specials instead.

It does seem to be somewhat respected but you would think that in a war situation, perhaps not so much this one, the "press" label makes them more of a target.

It's under Distributed Denial of Service attack by Anonymous
Channel 4 News will have extended bulletins this weekend + the return of 'News at Noon' next week:

Sky are rebroadcasting Russia Today's coverage (and translation?) of Russian Foreign Affairs news conference at present. They are doing their best to cover over the RT lower thirds, but it does not seem quite right to be using them?

At one point the RT News ticker was visible and readable

Ukrainian civilians are not getting any particular care regarding being direct targets [1], I don't think the media will be treated any differently

Mostly a CNN US simulcast on CNN Intl but occasional break-ins with less American-focused angles of the story. Isa Soares with the UEFA decision earlier and now Becky Anderson with the German FM's announcement of personal sanctions by the EU on Putin and Lavrov.
The One Show has just announced it's on BBC Two again tonight. Presumably this means another extended 6pm news bulletin, though currently on the BBC's tv guide the One Show is listed on both channels at 7pm.
Formerly 'Charlie Wells' of TVForum.
BBC News Channel & BBC World News schedules for weekend have dropped all recorded programmes just saying BBC News in blocks 09:00-13:00, 14:00-18:00, 19:00-22:00, 22:30-01:00
