Now reporter Alpa Patel is in at 8am in place of David Eades on BBC World. First appearance, AFAIK.

I know Alpa has done reports from the studio before, but maybe the first presenting shift. She also works for BBC London News.

And used to present Anglia News (way back when it was still called that...)

Laura Westbrook currently presenting BBC News. Haven't a clue who she is?

Is Kate Silverton still with the BBC?

That's what I was thinking. Her maternity leave must have ended some time ago. It's been a while since we've seen her presenting the BBC One weekend bulletins.

Kate freelances for the Beeb, so perhaps this was the more advantageous way to return to work for her. That said, I'm not sure whether a freelance presenter has any effective guarantee of work once they return, so it may be there's not currently room for her in the BBC One schedules - it's one of the grey areas of freelance work.
