Enough now

I'm currently watching a news channel. A tickertape is running along the bottom of the screen breaking world news as it happens.

Suicide bomber attacks security checkpoint at an airport in north-west Pakistan. Casualties feared.

No injuries reported after a Boeing 737 makes safe emergency landing in Moscow.

Pakistani Taliban claims responsibility for US Immigration Centre attack which left 13 people dead.

Man convicted of murder of British student Meredith Ketchner in Italy will give evidence today.

There's so much going on in the world right now. A crippling recession, rejuvenated terrorist threat in the Middle East, the re-emergence of the real IRA and unionists shooting people dead in Belfast, climate change, a G20 summit in London and NATO in Strasbourg as the most powerful men and women in the world convene to try and tackle all of the issues at hand. But what are Sky News giving all their live coverage to? Jade Goody's funeral parade. Live from 11 - 2.
