Finally something exclusive for CNN.
Was also confirmed on BBC NEWS by Matthew Price about 12:30am
Thanks, Drew. If I am not mistaken, did this actually occur when Sian was a news studio producer at the BBB, rather than a news presenter, hence she appeared on this particular strike day? Sorry for the thread creep, by the way.
Back to Libya: bizarre ongoings, with all the supposedly captured sons of Gadaffi now appearing in public and clearly not captive at all.
I get the feeling there is ever growing concern for the foreign journalists corralled in that city hotel. Acting as human shields for the surrounding Gadaffi forces? Tense time for all of them and all of their families and colleagues. Good luck guys

She started presenting when News 24 launched - way back in November 1997! So she will have only been presenting the news for about 6 months at that point.
I don't think it's been mentioned here, but last night on Sky News at Five, Jeremy Thompson was talking to one of the studio correspondents (I think it was Mark Stone) and they were discussing how journalists have had their phones, rooms and emails tapped when they were in the hotel in Tripoli.
A Fox News producer has just said that they have enough food for three days in the hotel and are only eating bananas and potatoes now.
Are we expecting the bit with the people standing around Alex Crawford chanting "Sky News" to make it to a promo by tomorrow morning?
What was the full sentence they were chanting?
Is there a video of this?
Of course.

Translated, they are saying "Sack Kay Burley, watch the BBC"
