David Eades is back on BBCWN on Nik Gowing's slot. Is this the first of his appearance here since a very long hiatus, (on which I heard he was doing World Services Radio)? I actually think David Eades is a pretty capable presenter, I wonder why they want him to do radio instead.


I don't think he has been doing world service, but he has been doing a lot of the world tonight, on Radio 4. They are short of a presenter and he has been a stand in for a long time.

So when Sophie presents the Six, as she did today, she also does the One? I always thought she only does one or the other.

Maybe they have finally looked at what the regions do.

What about when George does the Six and Ten, I assume he doesn't present GMT or does it?

George rarely ever presents the Ten. But when he does the six, I think he also does GMT.

No mention here of Jeremy Bowen shot in the head with pellets, apparently fired from a shotgun, in Cairo? He's ok, but must be pretty shaken up. Pic on twitter is shown in this article:

Are pellets like real bullets or something else? How dangerous if one gets hit?

There real bullets but not normal sized ones you get in a shot gun. Its usually used to shoot birds or tin cans

I see. So I guess it's used in this case as a non-lethal hard measure to control the rowdy protesters.
