Thank you. This will be a fun link to keep an eye on while at work today.
Apologies if you see multiple posts of this link by me. I've deleted the others but they may take time to disappear on your platform.

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.
