From what I've seen it's been Manisha - but I haven't watched for a while.

Its been shared between all biz presenters lately.

well...there doesnt seem to be a main presenter as such now-a-days...but Manisha seems to be on more often than the others...but ive seen the likes of Jamie Robertson & recently Aaron Heselhurst


by the way Juliette Foster is back on today presenting main news (1200 GMT) this isnt really strange as I can remember Mainisha Tank & Tanya Beckett presenting weekend shifts in the past (or atleast, I think I can)

Juliette is indeed back on today, presenting the News. I am sorry to sound like a complete dick, but I hope the BBC retains her as newscaster on BBC World, and takes her away from the business. She is a truly EXCELLENT newscaster.

the ticker has changed, its got shorter, so they now have two tickers, as they must have one for simulcasts.

It's Manisha Tank on TWT today, excellently partnering alongside the even more excellent Alistair Yates!

This is the first time I have seen Alistair Yates on The World Today. The bulletin suits him quite well, and vice versa.

It was 2005 when he last done TWT! He done it with Jamie Robertson, he seemed to enjoy it too.. I like him much better when doing a BBC World shift, there is quite a difference in his overnights and daytime/evening BBC World shifts ! I think he likes BBC World more.

O f course he does, whenever he is on the overnight shift he always tells BBC News 24 viewers he will be back with a "bulletin of World News" at the TOTH as can be seen in dragonhhjh's latest video.View here

Umm, you obviously don't understand what I mean, im talking about his personality when he is awake, not what he says durng different bulletins.

see what i mean...its so hard to keep a tab on the biz presenters?...i quite like Tanya in NYC...esp. partnering with Manisha Tank-great combo!

WNT with Mike Embley today during interview with Washington studio...camera came back on him too early & we could see him beckoning to someone in studio (what seemed to be a wrap up signal) quite interesting
