Loads and loads of two way interviews at the moment, showing again the world network of BBC correspondents. And live pictures from Pyongyang - not something we see every day.

Someone's taken Rico's seat in Singapore studio!


I know really nice to see, also shows how many correspondents are out in the field!

Rico has been invited to moderate a debate at the UN in New York later in the year. Well done him!

The World Today: very unusual, yet excellent, combination of Sally Bundock (News) and Sara Coburn (Business) this morning. Sara Coburn is really ubercoolness personified. She's very professional indeed.

Indeed. She really has been doing it for an awfully, awfully long time now . . .

Didn't she also present BBC Breakfast News for a while in the 90s?

Also, it's nice to hear Laurie Mayer's voice, I recognised him immediately from the person who narrated over 'Blues and Twos' - the BBC1 emergency services programme (Sorry, but too young to remember him presenting the news!).

I was reading online (forgot where) that apparently not one single boy/male has been nominated as a finalist in any of the categories, I don't know if anyone can confirm this... but if that's true... seems awfully sexist and not really right.

Ammmendment: Must have just been a rumour as this proves otherwise: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-17692793

Think he's helping to cover the US elections.

Great news! A rising Business presenter in the making

Rising indeed. He's literally very tall. And very good too.

Covering the US elections in fact. This afternoon he was on World Business. Now he's doing a Tim and coming down to the News Channel for a double shift, according to his tweets.
