BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Rebecca Jones, BBC arts correspondent

Rebecca Jones has been a regular relief presenter since Carrie Gracie left. Clive Myrie on the 2-5 shift today with Jane for the first time in a while.

Yep - Carrie has an academic background in Chinese and was a long-serving Beijing correspondent for the BBC early in the 90s. In interviews she has said that whilst she knew the language before becoming Beijing correspondent, it wasn't until she started having lessons in China that she became properly fluent.

If it's Rebecca Jones, then she was a familiar face on News 24 in the earlier days of the channel, regularly presenting (weekends I think). Before joining the BBC Rebecca was a presenter and reporter at Anglia News (mainly the Eastern half of the region)

Via Twitter, Adam Parsons will be on 6-9 tonight (the "six" is again on at 7:05 thanks to the World Cup.)

Who is the woman presenting right now on World? She's got an American accent.

If someone hasn't got it from the first image the other two are hardly likely to help.

I think it's Nuala McGovern - presents Newsday on World Service. She's Irish!

Ok, thanks. I wasn't sure of the accent, I thought it could be Irish as well, for me it sounded similar to American.

There's too many new presenters on World you really don't know who to expect on weekends.

Nuala worked in the US prior to joining the BBC World Service.

But it is most definitely an Irish accent.
