Except not everything which would justiry rolling news coverage in the UK would be relevant to the worldwide agenda.
Using a pod isn't quite that simple, as you'd need a second vision mixer and sound mixer and seperate graphics kit - effectively a second gallery

If major breaking international news occurs thats not big enough to justify throwing out the national BBC One news then surely they can let BBC World lead the coverage for a bit. Maybe a pod could be used while BBC World continues its own thing.

Thats the point. There isn't one
Which to me is silly as N24 and the Nationals have separate agendas - the nationals are to provide a round-up of the major stories, N24 is to cover major stories in detail with extended analysis. By having no opt-out feature it renders the principle of N24 redundant whilst ever the simulcast is on. I don't know the logistics of how it would work, but there needs to be some sort of facility for N24 to be able to opt-out and provide continuing coverage on the rare occasions that it's required.
BBC World may be an option if it's a major international story but then again if it's domestic then World's viewers aren't going to want continuing coverage of a British issue.

Instead of all this speculation, perhaps some kind BBC insider could explain what the plan will be should The Rolling News need to split from The National News during a bulletin...

Just a random thought here: do you think this could signal the demise and eventual death of News 24? If it is going to be hindered so much then surely the quality is going to suffer in a big way. I wouldn't be surprised eventually if the BBC pulled the plug on it - not through wish, but necessity.

No I think that's an over reaction to be honest. News 24's not going to miss any big stories because of this as they'd be covered on the national bulletin. Any press conferences of interest could be shown on the interactive stream as occasionally happens now. The amount of times News 24 has to pull away is rare in any case. I'm sure they'll be some way around it if absolutely necessary, but it's not exactly a massive problem.

Though most people can't be bothered faffing around with interactive and would probably just head over to Sky News for any press conferences.

Maybe, though of course if they are Freeview viewers they won't have the choice much longer.

I think so, I've not seen him on it before. I think he's quite a good forecaster and I'm glad he's starting to appear on the national bulletins.

Good to see Nick Miller on the 6 o'clock news tonight - his first appearance on the bulletin? I know he;s done the 1 a few times.
