Surely now marked as a special report, it is live to all markets?
No - broadcast as part of noon bulletin, delayed outside of AEDT

Well they brought the “ticker” out, which normally signals a special news report.
Otherwise I think it’s OK to use the normal two-liner.
Breaking Point: the lawless youth terrorising Melbourne
Five nights, five investigations, only on 7NEWS
Melburnians are at breaking point as the alarming surge in home invasions and violent street crimes leaves victims angry, police frustrated and the court system under fire.
How did it come to this, and what is being done to make the city’s streets safer? This must-see, exclusive 7NEWS five-part series, starting Monday night at 6.00 on Seven and 7plus, will seek to give the community answers – and hope – as it investigates the escalating crisis, the impact on residents and police, and the urgent calls for bail and sentencing reform.
Led by veteran correspondent and 7NEWS Melbourne anchor Mike Amor, the series will go inside the crimes spreading fear through the suburbs – from car thefts and senseless machete attacks to the issues driving this new generation of youth to offend.
Airing across five consecutive nights, each exclusive report will explore another layer of the crisis, featuring confronting first-hand accounts from victims, rare access to frontline cops, and candid interviews with authorities and policymakers including Victorian Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush, exploring potential solutions to a problem many say is out of control.
Amor said: “I’ve been reporting for 7NEWS for 30 years, much of that time as a foreign correspondent covering some deeply troubling stories. But nothing is more concerning than reporting on a new story every night about the rise in crime right here in Melbourne.”
7NEWS Melbourne’s News Director, Chris Salter, said: “As a news service, it’s essential for 7NEWS Melbourne to ask the tough questions and get real answers. The surge in crime across the city is unprecedented, and our community deserves reassurance.”
The investigative series begins tomorrow night with Amor and 7NEWS cameras riding along with Victoria Police on overnight patrol, showing the confronting reality of what officer’s face on Melbourne’s streets every night.
Don’t miss 7NEWS all this week.

Yes, but a little disappointing it’s regarding this. At a time when many believe the media are driving and even sensationalising a lot of this.

Technical issue on the Melbourne bulletin this evening, with Tyra Stowers forced to read the weather forecast on air, with limited graphics shown on screen.

There were several issues with the bulletin tonight, also including Phoebe Worthley getting flustered during her live-cross (including a moment of looking around like she was listening to someone in her earpiece) and lots of reading from her phone. A reporter addressing Mike Amor at the end of a live-cross, an awkward pause, but for Karina Karvelho then to instead appear. A weird muffled sounding theme music bed playing during a preview to ad break. Karina not timing herself in correctly with the autocue when sharing a story intro with Mike. And then the weather problem.
And with Nine uploading their bulletins to their YouTube channel, it looks like Seven has followed suit:

The first story on the Seven News at Midday was about John Laws passing away. The pre-recorded voice-over was done by Natarsha Belling.
It was weird because the exact same story ran in the last segment of The Morning Show with the same content and images. But the pre-recorded voice-over was done by Larry Emdur. 
Has Melbourne added some new studio angles? Caught a glimpse of some nice looking shots.
Seven opens new bureau in Parliament House
Modern, purpose-built studio with additional live hosting capabilities
The Seven Network’s brand-new Parliament House bureau has been officially opened by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra tonight.
The original bureau, which was largely untouched since Parliament House opened in 1987, has undergone a significant transformation – doubling in size through the addition of a neighbouring suite – and now has an expanded studio that is capable of hosting interview programs and live broadcasts when the biggest news breaks in Canberra.
Among the attendees at the official opening were Treasurer, Jim Chalmers; Leader of the Opposition, Sussan Ley; Seven West Media Chairman, Kerry Stokes AC; SGH Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Stokes AO; Seven West Media Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Howard; and Seven’s Director of News and Current Affairs, Ray Kuka.
Seven West Media Chairman, Kerry Stokes AC, said: “Our new Canberra bureau is a powerful statement about our commitment to delivering trusted, agenda-setting journalism from the heart of Australian politics.
“Canberra is where decisions are made and national conversations begin. With our new bureau, we’re strengthening our ability to break stories, hold power to account and bring Australians closer to the issues that impact their lives every day.”
Seven West Media Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Howard, said: “Our new bureau represents a major investment in political journalism and our commitment to keeping Australians informed from the centre of national decision-making.
“It’s a space designed for impact and built for the future. The expansion strengthens Seven’s position as a leader in political reporting, offering enhanced capabilities for live coverage, interviews and in-depth storytelling.”
Seven’s Director of News and Current Affairs, Ray Kuka, said: “The impact of the bureau’s ability to break stories, scrutinise government actions and drive the national agenda is something we’re incredibly proud of at 7NEWS.
“Mark Riley stands as the country’s longest-serving TV political broadcaster. No one delivers insight or asks questions like him – his instincts and the strength of the team he leads set a benchmark in Australian journalism.”
The official opening was hosted by 7NEWS Political Editor, Mark Riley, who has worked in Parliament House since 1993. The 7NEWS, The West Australian and The Nightly’s Parliament House teams were all in attendance.
7NEWS Political Editor, Mark Riley, said: “We’re so proud that the best team in Canberra now has the best studio and office facilities to continue bringing our viewers the political news that really matters to them and their families.”
Seven’s investment in the Parliament House bureau follows the opening of a brand-new, purpose-built Melbourne headquarters in May this year, Sydney’s state-of-the-art broadcast centre and an upgraded Brisbane studio – reinforcing the network’s ongoing commitment to news leadership nationwide.
