Hi,
Both indicate that the news is fresh. 'Hot' gives the idea that the news is not only 'fresh' but also has a sense that it has an element of scandal or sensation about it. 'Breaking news' is often used by broadcasters on news programmes to indicate that information is just coming through at this moment of what is happening somewhere in the world.
