Something going horribly wrong right now with Jon Sopel's interview with the Prime Minister. Given it's pre-recorded, Sopel's audio seems about twenty seconds ahead of Cameron's and the visuals, leading to a strange effect of Sopel and Cameron talking simultaneously for twenty seconds so neither could really be made out, followed by silence. Sopel's just referenced it when it went back to his 'Live'.
Question: Would it be considered that Jon has crossed the picket line by working this story abroad? I'm sure had he been in the UK, and hadn't been going to interview the PM, he wouldn't be appearing today, but I wonder where they're left when it comes to pre-planned trips and interviews?

Here's another thing though. Are BBC World cutting back or is it just Domestic based? As if he's now primarily based at World now, then there wouldn't be any rising to go on strike.

The strike itself is over only 30 individuals being let go, but it's a more fundamental re-organisation of BBC News that will result in a much larger number of job cuts and reduced services. And it's pretty obvious by World's attempt at programming today that they're very short of journalists today.

Even last time it though, it went reasonably well without major hiccups like this...

For sure, but I interpreted your question as being whether World News-based journalists would be affected by the strike.
