On my earlier post, it was Geeta's camera stuck, hence Sally reads her parts. Not the first time I though, have seen Martine Dennis once 'rescued' Alice on the catwalk when her camera just wouldn't turn to face her. So Martine read it for her. Also from Daniela suddenly popping out on screen covering B.O.T.H. summary for Geeta, I'm assuming they usually have a relief on stand-by?
Update: After watching Daniela appearing on TWT today (didn't watched it y'terday), it just dawned on me that the entire Daniela summary and WBR could have been from the previous TWT slot being replayed.

I'd assume an HD kit upgrade is in the works as well? I wonder how closely the new set will mirror NBH, Washington has always sort of done its own thing.
I've only just noticed that during the hours Asia Business Report is on (overnights UK time), BBC World News in North America has different programmes at :30 to the rest of the world. Does anyone know when this started?
I live in North America and it started in the first or second week of April without notice. At first, I thought it was a mistake because the online schedule didn't show the changes at first but after a few days, it was quite apparent the schedule changed. Not too happy with the change because we just get last weekends taped programming (such as Our World and The Travel Show) to replace Asia Business Report and Sport Today. I don't know the reason for this change but I hope it's not permanent.

There was a recent press release which talked about how they were now offering more programme variations in America on World News. It makes sense to offer sit down programmes in the back half hour during the evenings, in my opinion.
I'm not surprised they have launched a separate schedule, to be honest. For years, I've thought the repetition of News/Asia Business/Sport isn't ideal for primetime North American viewing. In that regard, World Business Report from London and New York (on air from the late 90s into the early 00s) was a better programme for US viewers.
I note that some hours, you get World News America at :30. I suppose this is just a repeat of World News America from 5pm ET/EDT?
Seeing as Newsnight is the last program to have been broadcast from B since the press conference, they most probably just used the graphics that was already preloaded onto the system.
But the simulcast was from Studio C maybe that is the emergency graphics if Vizrt messes up?

Why would 'emergency graphics' be in the Newsnight style?
