It makes sense to leave overnights to BBC World News because after all, they make up most of the audience at that time of the night.

Is there any information on viewing figures for BBC World News?

Yep - in the days when News 24 provided the service, it was probably because World was running at a loss and couldn't afford to fund it? It has always made more editorial sense (apart from on by-election nights) for World News to produce the service as they have a lot more viewers at that time of night.

Why does the live/location strap sometimes pop up in the top RH corner rather than the top LH as is usual?

It's often done like that where they are using a split-screen and only the image on the right is live.

I've noticed some different astons on screen today. One saying 'LATER' and 'EXPECTED SOON'.

I think they just make it up as they go along.

It didn't look too bad actually. The camera was moving so that it included the plasma screen in shot. It obviously wasn't meant to be done in vision but if the zoom was a bit slower it wouldn't look too out of place.
