Mishal Hussain presenting the News at 6 today, which is very unusual. We normally only see her presenting network bulletins for BBC One on the weekend.
She's presented the Six and Ten before, just not for the last few years however.
Long day for Jane Hill today. She did the One at lunchtime and then the 5pm hour on the News Channel, now she's back on for the Ten. On another note, is it really worth having Chris Buckler struggling live in North Carolina?

He was unhearable making his presence on the Ten pretty redundant and a waste of money (in terms of the cost of getting him there in the first place).
I guess she did a long shift due to a shortage of presenters atm (Tanya Beckett actually did an overnight shift last night, plus WNT earlier this evening).
Great to see that Rico Hizon is fronting a BBC Two programme this Sunday on the Philippines. Good to see that despite their late UK hours, the Newsday presenters aren't seen as 'the graveyard', each of them have a decent amount of side projects and still manage to produce a solid news show, which must be difficult given the timings and geographic distance apart.

This programme was first shown on BBC World News earlier this year. How times change, it used to be BBC World showing BBC Two programmes a few months late...

I hadn't realised, that is quite unusual! It appears on my on-screen guide as new. There seems to have been a definite rapprochement between BBC Two/Four and NC/World over the past decade, particularly with the simulcasts in pretty much fixed slots and more 'News' faces fronting content. I still don't take to
Victoria Derbyshire
though - it doesn't really fit either NC or BBC Two to me, but I don't watch it much so I suppose my opinion isn't a popular one?! Babita did a great integration-themed documentary so I hope this one from Rico will be decent too.
