BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

Has output been affected by the security alert currently taking place outside NBH? Streets cordoned off and controlled explosions reported. The BBC's 159 page has more information. https://www.bbc.co.uk/159

Huw is still presenting the '5' from BH.

Nothing noticeably different at the minute, but the 5 is from C, which I believe is located down in a more secure area to studio E, in any case.

The background of The One Show might look a bit quiet tonight

The 159 page says that staff are advised to stay away from windows. I wonder if they'll relocate?

Update Central: Portland Place & Regent Street outside the BBC (NBH) have reopened now, however Duchess Street stays closed by Hallam St after a Police incident (abandoned van). Fi

There probably won't be an audience... unless they've rounded up some of the staff who can't leave the building!

Update ....

Cordoned off area reduced

Any sign of the TVS archive in there ?

Errrr

Schafernaker is McCoy’s guest at around 1420 today talking his art works. The possibilities for innuendo and japes are endless. Could be fun.

Not again!

20 past the hour is now seen as a fluff minute time??? Oh how the mighty have fallen.....
