I noticed the 'global' weather now has this little thing at the bottom that spins through cities in each continent and as for the map itself it just a shot like the above for each continent and moves through most of them quite quick.

Yep, I saw it for the first time at the weekend. It's a nice touch (and was desperately needed) but it does move awfully fast.

Sat down for the first time to watch World News Today and noticed they used Gil Sans Bold for the main titles, but for the titles that lead into the break and back, they use Gil Sans Extra Bold, and for the main set they haven't even updated the font, it looks a bit of a designers mess!

and I see Coming Up still has the abrupt music problem.

How many versions of BBC World are going out as I noticed the breakfiller finishing slightly early and it opted into 1 sec of another breakfiller, is there like a default feed running underneath the localised versions, and if there is a default feed, who can actually view it?

There is one master feed and six sub feeds

Sometimes when the breakfiller cocks up (as it has been doing more recently, such as holding for ages on the end frame of a trail) it will suddenly revert to the main feed, which has all the times in GMT, and "live" elements like TIME CHECK and WEATHER and NEWS just come up as "For the latest *news*, be up to date at www.bbcworld.com" or whatever.

is the master feed there just in case one of the opts fail? and is the breakfiller sound ok on the master? Confused
