angularjs: the preferred way to update multiple viewports

I am looking for the angularjs way to:

while updating the page body with content:

• update a shared header with alerts
• update a shared footer with stuff

i cant see an easy way to do this because you can put the ng-view attribute on a single element, but i dont want that element to be the tag because i want have a shared header and footer that is reused between multiple pages.

Basically coming from jinja template inheritance, how does one translate that into angularjs?
