The BBC World News Thread

BTW, what was he wearing on his head last night. Looked like something gamers wear ?

I wore a fancy hairband to read the news this morning... and I just wanted to explain why... pic.twitter.com/viEGNNthoR

Lewis suffered from profound and sudden hearing loss a while back. I think that is part of his hearing-aid system. The BBC have been pretty exemplary in how they have handled this - I hope other broadcasters would be doing the same.

The news channel has just taken world news at 4:30pm after the break. We just had Jane hill from 4pm in studio E.
World news titles were used and the screens have world news on them.

As a result, BBC UK viewers get to see Aaron again after like, nearly a year, due to his move to only presenting on World News. Really miss his personality from business bulletins.

I think there was issues with the autoque from what I saw on tv

Yeah I noticed that, it seemed to be having problems all throughout the half hour that I was watching, but would that be enough for them to switch to world?

Back to Jane hill in E now.
As a result, world went to a break at 4:51pm, can’t imagine they usually do that? Will that not mess up the TOTH as there is usually a break just before then.

The way things are integrated these days it's possible for a prompter issue to be the tip of the iceberg

That’s perfectly normal for the 16:00 hour on World.

There’s a short filler from Click, Witness History or the likes as well as a weather forecast in that period to the TOTH.

Might be screen issues in E as Reeta is unusually sat down at the start of the 6.

More likely a camera issue? Because the screens were all on at the start of the 6.
Edit: Reeta was standing after the headlines mid way through the 6.
