andrew's sentiment was shared by this caller to the newswatch phone line. well, i am trying to watch bbc news but there really isn't any news, is there? brexit, brexit, brexit, brexit. may one hope that once the day is past we have a moratorium on brexit news or even perhaps a better idea would be we have a channel that deals purely with brexit then i could switch over and find some world news. that would be great fun, wouldn't it? funny you should say that. the idea of a channel devoted entirely to brexit may not appeal to many. sky news has created the opposite which would perhaps delight that caller, a brexit free zone. sky says it has been listening to public opinion and as a result the new pop—up channel will be available on weekdays between 5pm and 10pm. but there have been plenty of important non—brexit stories reported on bbc news this week, including the grim discovery of the bodies of 39 chinese nationals in a refrigerated trailer in essex. this is as close as the police will allow us to the lorry. all morning, forensic teams have been coming and

well, regular newswatch viewers will have known that was coming, and that such noises oft annoy many members of the audience. and it was no exception here, with mike burgess reacting like this... the distractions aren'tjust verbal, of course, but visual, too. the holder of this "leave, then negotiate" placard managed to get in shot several times as a bbc camera pursued interviewees down the street. and while that perhaps was unavoidable, some argue that the frequent appearances of a placard waver from the other side of the argument are encouraged by those live broadcasts from college green. here's the activist in question, steve bray, doing the dance of the camera shot behind huw edwards and laura kuenssberg a couple weeks ago. and borisjohnson still says he wants to have a general election, but at this moment, the opposition parties aren't going to back that. and when it comes to the big quagmire they're all in politically — how we sort out the brexit mess — well, it doesn't necessarily change that much immediately either. laura, we'll talk a little bit more about that later on but
