From Chris Greenway in the UK and others it would appear that BBC WS and BBC
domestic outlets will observe 3 minutes of silence today (Wednesday, 5 January)
at 1200-1203 in remembrance of the earthquake/tsunami victims.

We'll have to see how this works out on BBC WS.

I heard this was an EU initiative. I don't know if RFI or DW, for
example, observed the silence (if they did) at 1200 GMT or 1200 CET
(GMT +1).
