David Eades doing a weekend shift on World from BH. Wonder if this is a regular thing?

New chief business correspondent has been named as Linda Yueh.

More from Media Centre: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/worldnews/linda-yueh.html

Quote:
Linda Yueh will be based in Singapore, and will travel extensively throughout Asia and globally to cover the main economics and business news stories. In addition to reporting across BBC outlets on TV, radio and online, she will host her own weekly business programme that will provide expert commentary and insight into business, political and macro-economic trends. Linda already has a strong online profile, and this will continue as she takes on her new role for the BBC in April.


Linda Yueh was most recently the London-based Economics Editor for Bloomberg Television, and fellow of Economics at Oxford University.

Jon Sopel is presenting Global from Washington D.C., while Ros Atkins will be the substitute in NBH...

EDIT: Jon said that he will try to take a flight to London to be back on NBH the next day. Good luck there, and we hope he doesn't get caught up in Snowmageddon... Very Happy

Nope, they aired an interview from Global on the news channel over the weekend.

Does Jon really need to leave NC for BBC WN? George Alagiah has both News at 6 & GMT... Confused

His new program broadcasts during the same time of his old NC slot - unfortunately he can't be two places at once!

Who is this presenter on BBC News overnight earlier this morning? I have not seen her before... well, here in BBC World. Confused

That's Daniela Ritorto - she also did a weekend shift on World a few months ago.

Could he not have a permanent role on the News Channel as well when it relaunches though?

Tanya Beckett is reporting from Davos this morning on Breakfast and had a slot in the headline sequence - must be her first (or one of very few) appearances on Breakfast since her presenting days in the late 1990s.
