For no apparent reason today, BBC News video content isn't working, jusy a black rectangle where there should be the video clip.
It uses the Flash Player, same as YouTube and that works OK.
The iPlayer is OK being different.
Anyone else finding this today with BBC. I'm fairly sure it was OK earlier today.

Check how much storage is allowed in the flash player for https://www.bbc.co.uk, I think you need to right click on the box(black) and select settings. I set mine to 100kb and it was fine, flash is notorious for saving stuff that other cleaners cannot deal with so I set mine off and then had to reset again cos I was trying to watch the footie when on my lappy in the pub.4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex .
