刚刚得到的重要新闻

Explanation:
Breaking news is a piece of news the broadcaster just got from its reporter. It is considered so important that the current program needs to be interrupted.

It is named from the point of view of the broadcaster. It is not the news that suddenly happened.

Sorry, Chance, I am not convinced that \"突发新闻\" is popularly used in Mainland. I remembered that CCTV often says \"现在插播刚刚得到的重要新闻\". Besides, \"突发新闻\" has the potential to be misunderstood as events that suddenly happened without any signs or warnings.

I cannot write my Chinese here. But I'll give some explanation below.

Explanation:
The adjectives "sudden" and "imporant," though important, are only implied.

The meaning of the word "breaking, " in and of itself, is also important. It indicates that this news is still developing and the audience (and readers of printed media too) ought to watch it closely. The reporter seems to say: "don't turn it off, keep on watching and reading for what I'll continue to give you."
