Sky News was taken off air today due to a reported fire alarm at the studios.
A report from Ukraine was switched off on Monday just after 5pm.
A message appeared on screen saying there was a 'temporary fault'.
Specialist health producer at Sky News Mark Thompson tweeted: "Anyone confused why Sky News has just gone off air, we’ve had a fire alarm go off so now hanging out in the cold."
