@geniusoh11 Sure.
"In other news tonight, a man was arrested in Sacramento, in what may be the end of the career of the most prolific serial killer in California history."
"In other news today, the temperature rose to 60°Celsius, in what scientists say may be the hottest November 25th on record."
"In other news, 78-year-old Mabel Mazursky gave birth to a 14.5 kg boy yesterday, in what obstetricians say may have been the heaviest birth by the oldest woman, ever."
I hope that helps. :-)

"Breaking news" means news that is fresh, or newly received.
"Breaking news tonight" means breaking news that is currently being broadcast -- if it is already night time-- or breaking news airing within minutes on an evening news show.
The "what could be the biggest disaster to hit the Gulf of Mexico" hints that the news concerns a huge disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Does that help?

@Chasuk Umm. Thanks for your help, but my question was for 'in what'. I think that's not a full sentence with a subject, a object, a verb. Yeah, I knew what breaking news means but I would like to know why the anchor used breaking news tonight 'in what' could be the biggest. I think ' news tonight could be the biggest ' is more more natural

@geniusoh11 The anchor wasn't sure that the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico would be the biggest to ever occur there – everything after the words "in what" allowed them to caution the audience that their guess might be wrong.

@Chasuk You're one of the best people I met today. Thanks a lot! Have a great day. And the examples you gave me exhilarating. An old woman gave 'the biggest' birth wow. lol
