BBC News (UK) presentation - Reith launch onwards

Laura doesn't just have any job you know.

No, but people take time off.

Again, this is true but LK is not the kind of journalist who’d stay away at what is probably a bigger story than anything she’s ever covered- including Brexit.

Whatever the reason, hoping she’ll file soon.

I feel now would probably be a good time to remind everyone of the pinned topic regarding presenter and rota discussion https://www.tvforum.co.uk/thenewsroom/presenter-rota-40301.

Unless a news reporter (or their employer) has publicly confirmed that they're in self-isolation/infected then I think any speculation regarding specific individuals probably goes against the "It relates to the presenter's personal life/privacy" notice.

could the News Channel be shut down and replaced with a simulcast of BBC World with opt-outs at 9, 1, 6 & 10

I would say that the current situation means that The News Channel is going to be quite important with info the UK, so I wouldn't expect it to be simulcast with World.

I understand that there will be big changes to the BBC News Channel and BBC World News from tomorrow.

Streamlined presenters, teams taken from certain shows to work across others, all to help the 24 hour a day output.

Time to see what life will be like without the Victoria Derbyshire program when that show finally goes! (when Covid-19 has blown over of course!)

What about Impact, Live with Lucy Hockings, Global?
