What is happening today.
I flipped on BBC World at 0900 PDT and it was Kate Silverton presenting on schools reopening in the UK; the education minister had spoken earlier.
And at 1000 PDT, which is 1800
GMT
BST, we have Rebecca Jones. Is this The Six? It wasn't identified as such.

It was 18:00 BST and BBC One bulletin isn't always at 18:00 on weekends so it's a standard news channel bulletin.

Sorry for getting the time definitions wrong.
But its still 10AM in LA; 6PM in London.
Typically on weekends since we've had this consolidation whoever does this newscast also does The Ten. We'll see who shows up later.

Kate Silverton presented both the Daily Briefing special, which today was 15:50-17:20 BST, and the BBC Weekend News (BBC One bulletin) following. I assume Rebecca Jones has been on since 17:30.

Okay, got it. There was an odd break at around the twenty minute mark. We received the countdown video, without a countdown clock, and then went back to Kate. But it wasn't identified as the start of a new bulletin, at least for us watching on World.

Kate Silverton presented both the Daily Briefing special, which today was 15:50-17:20 BST, and the BBC Weekend News (BBC One bulletin) following. I assume Rebecca Jones has been on since 17:30.
Kate Silverton came on air at 15:50 (simulcast BBC News Channel and I assume BBC World & BBC One) until the end of the BBC Weekend News at very slightly after 17:32 and a half (which rounds to 17:35). She then gave a brief introduction to a Newsbeat documentary on the cancelled Eurovision Song Contest on the News Channel, which takes her nominally covering until 18:00. Rebecca Jones returned to air at 18:00 (to present the last hour of the normal 14:00-19:00 Saturday shift, albeit covered now for a significant time in between by the "BBC One" news presenter, which was Kate today, for the Coronavirus press conference). All times are British Summer Time (one hour ahead of GMT).
EDIT: It couldn't have been 18:00 GMT as that would be 19:00 BST which wasn't Rebecca Jones (instead onto Martine Croxall). Just checked - 10:00 PDT is 17:00 GMT which is currently 6pm/1800 in the UK therefore Rebecca Jones doing the final hour of the usual News Channel shift (in actuality just over 30 minutes until whatever programming is on just after 18:30 comes on). 9:00 PDT was 5pm UK local time, therefore after the Government press conference as they usually speak earlier than 5pm at weekends.

I assume it must have been a technical fault on BBC World as repeating the previous hour of programming. I thought all news bulletins are presented live, unless there is a technical problem in which case the previous hour is re-broadcast identified as pre-recorded. The Ten in the UK on the News Channel and BBC One was at Ten tonight - on this specific weekend of the year, it would normally be after 11pm (and sometimes after midnight) due to the Eurovision Song Contest. It's possibly the first time, or first time in a long while, that the late news has actually been at 10pm on this specific Saturday of the year (give or take a week either side whenever the Song Contest has been on). Perhaps this should go on the Coronavirus thread as it is a schedule change due to Coronavirus - typically you wouldn't be getting the BBC One News at Ten on this Saturday
At 2PM Los Angeles, 10PM London, BBC World is receiving a pre-recorded bulletin with Martine Croxall, probably the same one from the prior hours.
Typically, we'd receive the Ten on weekends.

Maybe because the Ten started a minute or so after 22:00 I'm not sure how World could fill a few seconds? Which is probably why they went with pre recorded material.

I've just been able to watch back and the News at Ten started at less than 30 seconds past. The News Channel did its 'waiting for BBC One' sequence, which was so short I hadn't realised the news was late (I was out of the room at the time). It was therefore BBC One being late as usual. If World can't do a similar sequence to wait for BBC One (or even start its countdown 21 seconds or so late) that may have been the cause of the 'technical problem'?
