Honest question: why do we need live coverage of this? Isn't it just like "a thing that happened," and new developments will take days or weeks to come?

BBC likes this style. Journalists are working in real time to decipher official documents, Trump team responds, other key players respond, etc.

In my eyes it's also a way to sort articles in a convenient and timely manner.
