Kasia Madera presenting Newsday for the fifth night in a row. Has Babita Sharma now left the programme, making this a permanent move? If so, where does Babita now fit in in the World schedule?

I'm assuming this is the reason.



She's said to a follower on twitter that she'll be back on Sunday.

No, Babita is still a presenter on Newsday and other BBC World News and World Service features.

For those interested in such things (and I know some of you are), it's a Suelian today on the BBC News Channel. Sue Thearle and Julian Worricker.

Alice Baxter trying (and failing) to emulate Aaron Heslehursts hand waving and frantic behaviour on WBR at the moment. Why has she suddenly started to behave in that way?

Only Aaron himself can carry that off.

Maybe they're on a Quest to be the most enthusiastic business reporter on television. (See what I did there? Wink )

Maxine Mawhinney presenting a rare 11am shift on the News Channel this morning.

So it seels Kirsty Lang is no longer a World presenter. Someone wrote that she did her last shift last week, Philipa Thomas seems to be her replacement on WNT doing her 2 days.
With Nik Gowing now doing 4 days of late morning and Geeta only one day (used to do 2) I wonder where does this leave David Eades. Maybe a main cover for GMT,Impact & Global?

Hmm, she filed a report on the Helicopter Crash for the NC on Wednesday morning, so she is still around.

Launch week.

Give it two weeks, and she will drift off.

Hope David Eades is the main replacement along with Peter Dobbie.


Edit: just noticed that Rajan Datar's name is now included in the FastTrack opening graphics. Does this mean that Fiona Foster is no longer on it?

Also, Nik Gowing, Jon Sopel and Tanya Beckett will all be out on the road next week at Davos and USA (Sopel), so their studio slots will need to be filled by someone or other.

I heard the Kirsty Lang report on the news channel and it did stand out to me as I don't think I've ever heard her as a reporter before. Maybe she is just going to do a few general pieces for the news channel instead of world?
