They are using the World ticker - it said WORLD without clock and then switched back.

Mentioned it in the presenters' thread, but ill stick it here too. As much as I love to see all the speculation they're only in N9 for the 2130 back half. Just going there for the half hour takes lots of organising, so they're having a dummy run this week before doing it for real next week.
The Ten will be coming from N6 (the home of the BBC News Channel) from Monday, but the Ten uses a lot more choreographed big board stuff and headline sequences than the One. They asked, therefore, for a bit of rehearsal time - the knock on is that the News Channel moves out for half an hour before the Ten.

Just spotted that News 24 is broadcasting from BBC World's studio/set at the moment.
Perhaps they are starting the N8 set rebuild?

If we knew we'd say - I think that N8 has been vacated for some reason... maybe for a studio rebuild who knows.
Maybe they are having problems with equipment in N8? Possibility. Sad if thats the case - it only had 5 days left to go!
Nicky has said they will be back in N8. And it has much for than 5 days to go. A little operation called BBC World (News) is moving there if you hadn't noticed.

There are actually 4 versions of the site, and it does not matter whether you access bbcnews.com or news.bbc.co.uk to reach them. By default a UK user will get sent to the UK facing site (UKFS) but may choose to read the international version (International facing site - IFS) by selecting an option on the index page. This then gets stored in a cookie for future visits. Whether you view UKFS or IFS in the UK you should never see adverts on either site.
If your IP address is outside the UK (or the Quova database thinks you are) you will get directed to the IFS by default with the option to make UKFS your default instead. The UKFS or IFS you are served may or may not be the versions with adverts, depending on whether or not you are in a terratory that BBC Worldwide are selling advertising space in.
Hope that makes things clearer.
Here we get ads for programmes on BBC World, which was annoying when I had to view a twenty second BBC World advert before each of those title sequences on the BBC site.
Its a bit of a waste of time though. BBC World is available on cable in ROI, on NTL channel 206, but BBC News 24 is on channel 201, so guess which is more viewed. It is available on satellite here in the same way its available on satellite in the UK, but the vast majority of Irish satellite dishes are pointed at Astra 2x, so once again, you get BBC News 24 rather than BBC World. I would suspect that BBC News 24's viewership in the Republic of Ireland is several times that of BBC World's (but most Irish people know only one 24 hour news channel - Sky News - anyway).
Personally, although its nice to have both, I prefer News 24.

bbcnews.com detects where the visitor orginates from and forwards you to an appropriate version of the site (UK or ad supported). I presume as bbcnews.co.uk has never been promoted the URL is just set up to protect the BBC's rights. I think you will find in the past that certain other URL's would deliver similar results.

You sure it wasn't burn in
If anyone is ever in the reception at Bush, look closely at the plasma screen above the reception desk - It still has the BBC World logo from before the current rebrand burnt into it. I dread to think what it's going to look like if the logo moves on the 21st.

The News 24 logo and clock disappeared just then leaving World's logo behind it
