Wonder if Newsday returns if it will finally turn into its original vision for a triple-headed programme from London, Singapore & Washington. Asked Kasia once if that was the idea, yes but it never developed into that format

With more and more news about China in recent weeks and months as well as Hong Kong and strained Sino-US and Sino-British relations - without wishing to go too much into the politics of it - a triple headed London, Washington, Singapore programme with a focus on East Asian affairs is a very interesting concept.

Also think a programme like Newshour on WS broadcast daily at Noon and Midnight GMT would be a good idea

Well, no, I don't know about others but I did take a long hard look in the mirror about how repetitive and unnecessary I was posting about rotas and presenters. So I've stopped.

Carrie Gracie is leaving it seems.

#BBC my last day on air. After 33 years, time to do something new. Proud of a few things: told the China story, fought for a fair workplace, gave away the back pay I won, wrote the book. But most of all grateful to audiences and brilliant colleagues. THE BEST. I’ll miss you. X pic.twitter.com/Q5wsU58Xbj

Great minds think a like! I'm guessing this means Shaun Ley is back on Dateline London duties as of Saturday.

Oh that's a shame.
She will be missed.

I imagine she might be back as a freelancer doing like the Winter Olympics in China in 2022 or her White Horse Village project

Was surprised to see her at 16:00, Ben has done that slot regularly on Tuesdays, makes sense as it was her final day

That was a very unexpected turn of events. She did well on many of the programmes she's broadcast for the last couple years since coming back from China Editor, plus all the programming and presenting she did prior to taking up the China Editor post, shame to see her go! All the best to her for the future whatever she chooses to do.

Wonder what this means to all other programmin she was doing, notably the morning shift, with more simulcasting will they just ask World News presenters to fill in shifts if needed?
