It seems she's the main stand in for Fiona now by the looks of things, given Sophie was on the One today. Good move in my opinion, with Sophie and Fiona covering for George during the week.

Isn't that Riz doing the BBC National News for Scotland (due to Scotland with different schedule) ?
Edit: Kept on watching and she was on the News Channel
Nice to see Riz Lateef on the Weekend News today, I wonder if eventually she will follow in Emily Maitlis' footsteps and transfer across from BBC London.

Yes it was.

Carole Walker presenting tonight - presumably they were waiting until after the election before she started. Am I right in thinking neither Julia or Fiona have presented in the evenings? Only mornings and afternoons as I recall.
That is correct - I wonder when Zeinab will appear!

That is correct - I wonder when Zeinab will appear!
I don't know but I suspect that they've taken on an over-50s presenter for each shift, with Fiona usually appearing (it seems) in mornings, Julia in afternoons (which would explain her being on more, what with Louise off more than Jane or Carrie) and Carole in evenings (I presume) maybe Zeinab will, as previously suggested, be a presenter on the five?
I thought Carole worked well - far more relaxed than at other times I've seen her.

Outside the One O'Clock News in the early 00s - "real people" live interviews have seldom been a feature on BBC One bulletins. Most live interviews on bulletins are between 45" and 1'30" - which requires them to be quite structured in order to stay on time, and getting a succinct answer in that period from someone not used to speaking in soundbites would probably be tricky.
An exception is the "telly friendly expert" - such as academics - though specialist correspondents are probably used more than tame experts on the bulletins these days.

Why do presenters on main news programmes no longer interview people. They talk to correspondents, but no-one else.
To me, live interviews with people who make the news is an essential part of broadcast news, but today it's limited to 24 hour news channels.
