Edit: Looks like I was wrong. Dani's twitter bio has been changed it now reads "News anchor on BBC World TV and Business Presenter on BBC News Channel".

So, I guess it's somewhat medium term permanent.

It now says "TV and radio news presenter/reporter for BBC World TV, World Service, BBC South and BBC London"

Is Ben on holiday or covering on World as Victoria Fritz has done the bulk of them recently with either Maryam covering or Dani.

I suspect Dani will become Maryam's maternity cover on the NC if Ben or Victoria aren't available.

Ben is in New York, not sure if it's a permanent thing.

As literally said a few posts above - Samira Hussain & Ben have swapped jobs for a temporary time. Samira now reporting in London.

Just like back in January when Babita was in Singapore and Rico was in London for a couple of weeks.

He's James Menendez of BBC World Service Radio.

World News at weekends lately has been manned extensively by World Service Radio presenters: Nuala McGovern, James Menendez, James Coomarasamy to name but a few.

At first glance from a distance today, Mr. Menendez reminded me of Owen, hence my tweet.

Sian Lloyd did Breakfast this morning, but stayed til the end (Usually the Sunday female presenter disappears to get ready for Andrew Marr).. but then on Andrew Marr.. Naga Munchetty popped up at 9.02am with the news 'from London' as Marr introduced her.

The Majority of recent editions of Andrew Marr have had the news from London - Maxine Mawhinney & Riz Lateef have also done this recently.
