Martine works alternative Saturdays (and alternative Thursdays) and has done since the move to NBH. She has also always appeared sporadically in the afternoon slot either as a shift swap or as an additional day of work. Monday-Thursday afternoons are still Simon McCoy 90% of the time, although Jane seems to be appearing less and less frequently. Simon will also normally do Fridays if Ben Brown is unavailable, as long as he hasn't done a number of double shifts earlier in the week.
Mishal has also never appeared every week and I believe she is meant to present 2 in 3 Sundays but obviously other commitments and holidays would reduce this (so it is quite conceivable that Clive presents approximately half the time).
There is no reason to think that Ben won't continue to cover the 5 on Fridays, the previous 2 weeks when Simon presented Ben wasn't seen at all so was probably on holiday or otherwise unavailable.

Sam Taylor indicated in a tweet a few weeks back that Jane Hill was becoming the new regular presenter of The Film Review - so the 5 on Fridays will be part of her regular duties.

Jane presented Dateline this weekend - not sure if that she is going to be the new main presenter.

Bear in mind that with Easter taking place, many people will have taken holidays as well so it may take a little time for things to settle down.

I'm surprised they didn't just do the late Bulletin twice on the NC last night (like they normally do when their's regional variation.)

Richard Lister presenting at 3pm. This must be only the second time he's presented on the News channel, following his last minute covering of Joanna Gosling earlier in the year.
