I wonder if Sue Barker's current guests are the reason for staying on BBC1? Has this become a Grade 1 Broadcast?

Looks like a late change.
Here's the caption that turned up on One... somehow ironic given the discussion in this thread!

What I ever done to you, this is a National news thread, not a least favourite member thread

Who was the guest? I am intrigued. What does Grade 1 mean?
I managed to catch the afternoon news today and definitely heard Sophie Raworth say " Welcome to the BBC News at One".
I much prefer "The One Oclock News", but that's just a personal preference.

Princes William and Harry are who he's talking about. (I managed to delete my last post somehow).
Did they just turn up at the last minute?

You say basics but I do think the headline sequence at the start of the bulletins - the Ten O'Clock News in particular - is far too long, you don't need much more than a couple of headlines but we get endless clips and it goes on for ages, sometimes about two minutes. The other week I managed to put the kettle on AND nip to the toilet and came back to find the titles still hadn't started.
Whilst I think the current graphics may be a bit too basic, it definitely has helped going back to basics.

A Grade 1 broadcast was something that they would take extra care to prevent it falling off air (such as running extra back up copies, staffing spare Pres suites, generator backup etc) usually because of a Royal appearance.
Sue interviewed Princes William and Harry in the studio.

That's something I'll agree on. They could definitely do with going back to the 1999 style.
Take that clip for example - add the 15 seconds of regional headlines, the whole sequence is done in 45 seconds and you receive the same information. There are often too many vox pops within the headline sequence that you end up watching again during the report and often AGAIN in some form of recap in the bulletin.
