Basically news stations have a list of preset headlines to run in case of breaking news. It can be anywhere from a celebrity dying to Russia invading the Ukraine. If I had to guess what happened is someone was reviewing them before the broadcast, as they need to keep the list updated and know which ones they have available, and they accidentally ran it.
