On yesterday's Lionesses celebrations, Chloe Kelly used a word that
was rapidly followed by two apologies by Sky News. I am wondering
where this leaves Sky News with Ofcom. (1) Is there a language
restriction on a news broadcast at all, since the news exists to
report what actually happened? (2) Could Sky use a six-second delay

Why six seconds?
And how would they get the delay back again if they used it to cut out a 'naughty' word? What happens if there's another one a bit later?

or would they then be prevented from claiming the broadcast is 'Live'?

Hardly. The transmission coding/decoding delay is more than that.
