English term or phrase: "breaking news"
Hi, does anyone know of a specific French expression to say this? This is not for a translation assignment, just for personal interest, I found it here:http://www.belga.be/EN/home_product.asp?productID=1
And they have left it as is in the French version of the text.
What does everyone think? Thank you!
