When there is something like a crisis going on in another country it always seems like every politician (not only the ones in the government but the others too) is aware of the exact details about anything that might have influence on the situation.
Do they read the newspaper like normal people or does every party have their own people abroad?
How exactly does it work?

A certain one seems to get a lot of information from Fox News. But in general I believe they are briefed by various agencies depending on the situation, which can include intelligence agencies, and the governments also talk to each other.
But in many cases they don’t seem to know that much either, like when a big-ass earthquake hits or a suspected terrorist attack, and you would see the president of the U.S. say they are aware of reports and monitoring the situation, but express condolences to those affected.
