LSE connectivity glitch halts trading
A spokesperson for the LSE told us a moment ago that they are "putting the processes in place for firms to reconnect".
"After issues were identified, we closed off customer connections to bring connectivity back in a controlled way," the spokesperson said, while confirming that all trading had ceased, and was yet to recommence.
More soon, no doubt - it'll be interesting to know what went wrong, and how much money this is costing on a day when the markets are generally rallying around the world.

According to the Beeb, they got back up and running at 4pm. That's an outage of around 7 hours. Ouch.
