I don't think she's presented AM before. Martha wasn't too bad on Newsnight (I think she last presented in July last year though) but not entirely suited to Newsnight's serious news agenda; she is a lot better on whatever they're calling the 'Review' segment this week.

She was Newsnight's Political Editor for seven years, currently presents 'The World at One' on Radio 4, and covered Northern Ireland for many years. I think she'll be fine . . .

I believe so. When was the last time Fiona or Julia were on? We've seen a bit of Carole Walker in the last few weeks but not them, which perhaps (I could be reading too much into it) the four are sharing two relief jobs six months a year each?

So, how is Zeinab doing on News 24? Is she presenting solo or alongside somebody? I hope this doesn't mean she will be absent from World more often. Crying or Very sad

Zeinab presented with Tim Willcox. It was a real treat to see the wonderful Zeinab on the BBC News Channel.

There was a funny moment early on in her shift when the sound broke down on the link to Laura Kuenssberg, where she referred to her as "looking like a fish talking in a goldbowl!!". Hopefully she'll be doing this shift all week.

It's a Willcoxathon on World today. When I woke up for brunch this morning (14:00hrs Manila), he was on. I've now come home for late supper (23:30hrs Manila), and he's still on!!

And still looks as fresh as a daisy after nine solid hours on air.

I, on the other hand, look rather cr*p.

we shouldant forget about zenibebs commitments with the world today and fionas job as a features presenter on itv border they both only work part time and also with the arrival of katie derham to present the proms coverage do you think she will work on the news channnel she would probably be suited to replce louise minchin who is frequently absent I personly dont see the point in giving her that slot when she is covering weekend breakfast presents news at one and the occasional weekend news katie should alos be used in that as well maybe even have her own news channel show to rival natasha.
