As you  will have noticed there have been significant problems with
news over the last 24 hours.

Due to an unexpected volume of news, both of the news servers filled
up their disk space and subsequently failed.

As a consequence of this the news server is currently backlogged and
there is a delay in news becoming available. This backlog should be
cleared during the course of today with normal service returning
sometime this evening.

We apologise for the inconvenience and are investigating why the
failure occurred, in order to prevent similar problems in future.
