The following was seen and heard on the BBC World News at approximately
6:15pm EST (that's 11:15 GMT). The broadcaster was in London, England
at the time, and although I don't think the broadcast was live, I think
it was probably broadcast shortly after being recorded. The broadcast
is beamed to U.S. viewers although we also receive it here in Canada
(but don't count for the BBC):
(1) And now to Florida [also EST] and the execution that's due to take
place a few hours ago.
There was a very brief hesitation after "place" and "a few hours ago".
The execution itself (of a former Presbyterian minister who murdered
a physician who performed abortions together with his (the physician's)
bodyguard began at 6pm and was over by 6:08pm.
