Wow. Different HARDtalk editions there. Smile

Do the previous bulletin have a proper close?

Interesting tweet here:





I think the suspicions of a less-supported strike are true.


Also very true. Strikes don't achieve anything really! Clearly if they did they wouldn't keep having strikes, and the BBC wouldn't keep proving that it can still run a good service without them!

No. "You're watching BBC News". Then weather, a trail and the headlines before HARDtalk. No headlines for BBC World News.

Oh man. Are we back to 2004?

BBC World back in the days (for those who don't know) didn't have half past headlines, until November 2004.

The latest is the one with Ukranian Boxer and MP Vitali Klitschko, airing on BBC WN right now... which I remember is the regularly scheduled program at this time. Laughing

No headlines for BBC WN, but at least the program starts at :30, and not earlier than that...

Graphics went wrong during the current edition of Hard Talk in the UK. Throwing up some unrelated things including a name caption for Gavin Grey (who wasn't on screen) that wasn't spelled correctly !

Surely they must have enough news agenda to run a full hour today? Or alternatively they could just do another run-through of the previous half-hour's content. As a rolling service it would probably be better for people who have the channel on in public places/work receptions etc.

Look at the reply to that tweet: I kept thinking why not wait until tomorrow when programmes would be slightly scaled back and not a lot are watching anyway?

Opening of the News at 1, mention of the strike, and the abrupt close to the programme:

Surely staff on strike should know that hiring in replacement crew + presenters costs money and unnecessary spending isn't really going to help the cuts that they are fighting against is it?

It seems BBC News with Gavin Grey at this hour is still live... At least they still deliver news on the hour live.
