I say! Three African news stories lead on TV

I say! Stories about the Kenyan coalition government (story 1), Zimbabwe's election (story 2), and Tanzania's stage of the Olympic torch relay (story 4 or 5) lead the UK news this morning. The other two stories were about rice prices in developing countries and a traffic accident in Latin America involving Britons, so the news felt like an edition of "What's happening in the developing world today?"

Having said that, it was the 1 a.m. news on a specialist news channel, so I may have been the only person to have seen this advance for developing world news reporting.
