Only guessing but was it a mobile phone being used for that report and interview?
Yes probably, not very good, but just about acceptable given the constraints and conditions.
However, it might be an idea for the broadcasters to equip their journos with various phone mounting aids
and lightweight tripods; shakily holding up a phone to your face to address the nation does look a bit crap.
BBC news camera there is having focusing trouble...

That is assuming it's a journo who is actually on duty. In these circumstances, it could just be someone on holiday nearby who has offered to go over.
Most would be more than happy to throw in a few extra hours while off on leave on a big story.

Yes, very possibly, but that (having some lightweight mounts) should be the quid-pro-quo for them of being issued with a company mobile and SIM and taking them on holiday.

BBC2 And The News Channel taking a news special with Ben Brown in Barcelona instead of Victoria Derbyshire.
Joanna is in B with a generic bulletin for the second half of the hour.

Oooh are they being a bit clever in how they're doing things this morning - when Ben Brown in Barcelona finished he said 'back to you in the Studio' and in the UK we got Joanna Gosling in Studio B. Is the handover generic so both the NC and World can go to their respective presenters and do their own separate 'in other news' bits? If so, this is probably the first time the UK has seen Studio B doing a UK-only BBC News bulletin, whenever they've used it before it would have been because of a World simulcast?
