It's amazing how we can watch world events like this unfolding live through someone's phone camera through stuff like Periscope and Facebook Live.

Anybody saying the coup is over, you seem to be wrong since there has just been 9 airstrikes.

How are people watching this?

I'm on the BBC News Channel, but I don't know if they seem to be slow. Someone above me just said that there have been 9 airstrikes but BBC haven't mentioned that.

It is not over, it just failed. They are still opening fire and its still going on but they failed.

I'm not so sure, the coup still holds a lot of areas apparently.

Twitter/AlJazeera Arabic/Sky seem to be quickest

BBC is always a snail when it comes to live reporting

It seems a case of when and not if the coup dribbles out.

BBC seems to want to check it's facts rather than reporting stuff that may not be true.

From last night, many media outlets were reporting a hostage situation, but the BBC was one of the few I saw that didn't.
