Well done, Fergus. A great appointment.

Babita Sharma on World News from Studio C right now. I can’t recall the last time I personally saw Babita doing a daytime shift on World.

Did Babita do 1200-1400 then come back on air at 1600? If so what time did Christian start as he was on at 1900?

It was simulcast 2-4pm. Unusually. 😕

Fergus Walsh is promoted to Medical Editor.

How would this differ to Hugh Pym’s role as health editor?

I think the health correspondents cover health policies such as the NHS costs and medical correspondents introduce the developments of some medical stuff like the coronavirus vaccine.

No, nor assistant political editor, probably unnecessary roles so cheaper to fill their slots with political correspondents.

His last appearance was the late shift on Friday 13th March. He hasn't appeared since and when you consider the likes of Rachel Schofield, Rebecca Jones etc (who are on an equal footing to him) have made a number of apoearances, I don't know what to suggest.
