Was it just Ben Brown on the 11am shift, this morning?

Not confusing. Soapy was already in the studio as he was rounding off his Global segment when the Breaking News came therefore he was directed to stay in position and carry the extended news. Yalda was due in at the TOTH with a generic bulletin. So, she changed places with Soapy to be in her position for the TOTH.

Happens quite often.

I think you should complain. How dare the BBC change presenters at other than the TOTH/ BOTH. Do they not consider the mental wellbeing of their viewers when making these extreme decisions. I don't understand how we can trust anything they say or do if they're so willing to make such rash decisions without regard to their viewers. Mad

I'm going to have to add a new column for xx:45 presenter in my spreadsheet now. Mad

This isn't a very good advert for your website, is it?

George Alagiah has now left the Philippines and is now reporting in Columbo for the Commonwealth summit.

George is originally from Colombo, actually. I presume he was always going to cover that story anyway.

Edit: Rico Hizon has been joined in the Cebu provincial area by Rajesh Mirdhandani.

Stephen Sackur presenting GMT. When was the last time he presented a bulletin?
Update: Just read on Wikipedia he is the Friday GMT presenter. I almost never saw him probably I don't watch Friday's GMT.
