Sorry for the late reply and thanks for sharing the data. But what the 2020 figures/names show is that the presenter pool on BBC News/World News is actually quite vast! That's a long list of names up there.
As someone else pointed out, that's also not the conclusive list, as some presenters (mainly from World News and the simulcast overnights, etc) have not been listed.
By the time you add those, BBC News/World News has a rather vast presenter pool. Considering that all programmes are single-headed (apart from Breakfast), it would be interesting to compare the BBC list with a comparable operation (Sky News, for example), which also provides a 24 hour news service of also mainly single-headed bulletins).
(Yes, I know that the BBC effectively has three news operations ongoing at the same time (Network, Channel and World), but that hasn't been the case in the first half of 2020, with a lot more combined output).
But looks like a long list of names.
