Timing

For all its burgeoning US resources, BBC News was not the fastest off the line with the latest attempt on Donald Trump's life. 

BBC Breaking News on X got to it at 2029 BST.  CNN had it at 2004.  BBC News' US partner CBS had it at 2014. 

The BBC News Channel launched a repeat of Americast at 2030, before breaking in. The BBC News 'live' page started at 2024.  For a time, there was a circular lack of information, with the 'live' page offering the live video from the channel, and the live video offering a QR code taking you to 'updates' from the 'live' page - of which there was little, apart from transcripts of 'expert' interviews on the channel.
