    That’s better.

      Good catch, it was actually an insurrection.

    Honest question: why do we need live coverage of this? Isn’t it just like “a thing that happened,” and new developments will take days or weeks to come?

      The details will take hours to come out, and then to be explained, and there will in parallel be political and expert reactions, and the relating and explanation of those.

      BBC likes this style. Journalists are working in real time to decipher official documents, Trump team responds, other key players respond, etc.

      In my eyes it’s also a way to sort articles in a convenient and timely manner.

        I know there’s a “queueing” and “British” joke in here somewhere; I just can’t find it.

      Because US politics is now the biggest reality show on the planet.
