Not necessarily. It could have been either of them who was scheduled to do the early WBR. Alice was on-air until 12 midnight last night with editions of World News Today. It's my guess that Caroline was scheduled, but was running late, or Victoria Fritz may have been on the rota, but was unable to attend.

Aaron Heslehurst is filming in the Netherlands, so it wasn't him who didn't turn up

David Eades did the 8am slot on World today, and is now doing Impact. I don't recall seeing David on Impact before. Karin Giannone was the presenter of GMT. And, as already stated above, Laura Westbrook was in for "The World Today" at 5am.

Does Geeta Gura Murthy do anything else on BBC World News apart from the 8 to 12 UK?

No - that's the only slot she presents.

She covers on Impact a few times (mostly during Mishal's exit) & also occasionally presented the TWT 5am-8am during the period when Naga moved to Breakfast

I have a suspicion we won't be seeing Kate Silverton back on our screens anytime soon. She returned from Maternaty Leave a couple of months ago but has only been on radio. There isn't exactly a shortage of national presenters, especially with the increasing prominence of Clive Myrie and Simon McCoy on News at One. Also when George Alagiah's returns in the (hopefully) not too distant future, there will be even less need for her.

Roger Johnson doing the news on the Andrew Marr Show on BBC1 this morning - this has to be a first either for Roger or indeed a male newscaster!!
