I remember a time when they put Clarence Mitchell outside Clarence House.... made for a slightly confusing handover

Not sure if it's a very good idea that the BBC reporter on the case of the little girl killed by a dog is Danny SAVAGE.

Sound issues at the end of the one, so the weather was cut short.

I noticed last night that James Reynolds has left the Middle East and has now become Beijing Correspondent. Rather strange, and somewhat a shame, as Reynolds' knowledge of the Middle East is excellent and he has filed many insightful reports on the Israel/Palestinian conflict.

I was a bit peeved at that - I thought they would cut back to the studio after the Pavarotti tribute and try the weather again - even if it was a N24 recorded one.

That is one example - although that was a few months ago now.
I have also noticed that: Daniella Ralph is now a Royal Correspondent, Andrew North I think is now in Beirut, Kim Ghattas is in New York, Allan Little is now world affairs rather than paris and Gutto Harri has gone back to being a Political Correspondent.

Correspondants change roles all the time for any number of reasons. They are also given fake titles while they cover for others. Christian Fraser was still Rome/Vatican Correspondant when he was in the Middle East but it would've been rather inflammatory to refer to him by his proper title while covering the Israel/Lebannon conflict.

and it was fantastic to have a newsreader with some gravitas ... most female presenters especailly kaplinsky dont seem to have that.

It is quite common to reshuffle correspondents every couple of years - and the job title goes with the location (you don't use your job title on-air - you use the title relevant to the job you are doing - if you catch my drift) - so if you are in Rome you are a Rome Correspondent, if you are in Jerusalem you are a Jerusalem Correspondent etc. There are exceptions to this - but not many.
Additionally some correspondents have more than one string to their bow and specialise in more than one field. There are a number of correspondents who specialise in reporting the Royal Family. When they do so they are described as Royal Correspondents (thankfully "Court Correspondent" has passed into history) - but equally they could still report on court cases when they may be described as reporters, or Home Affairs correspondents (or in some cases just their location)

I would have thought there would have been a lot of exceptions to that. You shouldn't be (and most of the time aren't) labelled as a Rome Correspondent if you're just sent to Rome at the last minute to cover a story. To be labelled as a Rome Correspondent you should be familar with the city, maybe live there, have contacts there etc, not just be passing through. The ones that aren't true correspondents to the area are usually referred to as 'our correspondent in the region/city'.
