Anitta McVeigh said earlier that Clive Myrie will be joining her at 7 - looks like this is the start of his role with the news channel. We will probably also see who replaces Peter Sissons tomorrow.

Thanks for letting us know about Clive debuting on the News Channel in his slot. I totally forgot about him taking up his new post this month. Missed it though!
For the people who saw Clive, what did you think of him?
I thought he was much improved since the first stint that he did as a relief presenter a while ago - I think he could be quite good once he's settled in a bit.
On another note James Reynold's has finished his posting in China (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/jamesreynolds/) - not sure where he's off too now or who's replacing him. Also, not sure if the new Beijing correspondent will publish a blog - with all the flak that James gets in comments (and on Youtube) from Chinese people who believe he's an evil propoganda worker spreading lies for the British government, it may not be worth the trouble.
Yes, James has posted another blog looking back on his 3 years living in China as the BBC's Beijing correspondent. Does anyone who is going to replace him? He has definitely done an excellent job reporting on this difficult and enigmatic country, despite all of the criticisms of him spreading propaganda and all the rest.
Although it's unlikely, I'd like to see Carrie Gracie as the next Beijing reporter. She was excellent when she reported during the Beijing Olympics, and has a thorough knowledge of the country and the language.
Sorry to be pedantic here and I think this, uh, may have been mentioned before but, uh, I've been watching the News, uh, Channel, for a few hours this afternoon and am finding it incredibly, uh, annoying, uh, listening to Jon Sopel. Can this man string a sentence together without, uh, uh-ing?
The really annoying thing is, he seems to do it while reading from autocue as well so its not just when he's ad-libbing.

Surely that isn't anywhere near as irritating as Huw Edwards reading the news, constantly glancing at his script - about four times in one item - as if the autocue has ommited part of the sentence all the bloody time.

All newsreaders seem to do this directly before they read a quote. Never understood it.

It's just an onscreen way of letting viewers know what is to follow is not their, or BBC, opinion. It's almost a verbal quotation mark, if you like.
