A routine storm drain inspection took an unexpectedly adorable turn when workers discovered a furry friend obstructing a pipe in the Australian town of Bega, with footage showing a cozy wombat following the camera back out to safety.
Trending is a section of Current News that highlights stories and topics that are currently generating a lot of interest. This can include breaking news, such as a severe weather event (a tornado warning for example), or other stories that are widely discussed or talked about. This section also covers controversial issues in the news, such as the debate over the Confederate flag or whether or not Michael Jackson was a good or bad person.
Breaking news typically requires a temporary interruption of regular programming, and may be accompanied by a countdown or “Newsflash” graphic to indicate the nature of the story being covered. This practice was common in North America before the invention of 24-hour news channels, and is still used on some local stations that cover emergency events. Some national networks now use special tickers or “Special Report” segments during regularly scheduled programming, reducing the need for cut-ins.
