... and could somebody tell me why in the every ending of the news presenter tells us the headlines and website and then stops talking for a few seconds and after that announces the weather?Why do they make that pause?
To allow other channels e.g. PBS channels to opt out.
Many local channels around the world opt in to BBC World once a day for their main international news programme. They take the fiorst 26 minutes of the relevent hour and there is a pause to allow these stations to opt out. The presenter then does a 15 sec trail to point out what is coming up next on the channel

She's used a pillow (cushion) for as long as I can remember, and I've been watching World since 95!
I think Ms. Nisha Pillai is perhaps slim, small and slender and simply needs the trademark cushion for support.
It could also double up as a pillow for napping when Ms. Maryam Moshiri is delivering the Biz News. Goodness me - I really wish that she would liven up a bit. She would put most of us to sleep, with that monotonous delivery! (I am not advocating that she should become another Aaron, though. That is OTT.)

Nisha Pillei always has a pillow behind her back and I have noticed that a long time ago during the 1999-2003 era.

Mr. David Jessel has just introduced the Business Anchor (Mr. Aaron Heslehurst) by saying something like: 'Here's Aaron. Give it to us!"

It's nice to see all these people on TWT these days, even if I hope Lucy Hockings will come back presenting some day some time... Great to see Mike Embley this morning, he's rarely seen at that hour but I think the Embley-Bundock couple works very good.

I know you're a good poster, and very intelligent a lot of the time, but can you PLEASE stop referring to presenters using Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms? We do know what sex/status most of them are you know...

Hi Jaime,
I just can't win. Someone told me off a few weeks ago for being too familiar!! That's the sole reason for being more formal. Sorry if you don't like it. However, your wish is my command.........(by the way, using someone's formal title ahead of their name doesn't neccessarily point to my excessive or lack of intelligence, but thanks for the "compliment", if that's what was intended. )

Ade? Ade???? 
You mean........"The Great One of CNN!" That's his formal title. LOL.
David Jessel is actually growing on me. Never really used to like him, but he clearly knows what he's on about.
