That wouldn't work for several reasons, not least because it'd be totally inappropriate for Newsnight to be delayed at short notice on the biggest news days of the year. BBC Persia managed without access to 54D for several months at the end of last year and beginning of this due to refurbishment if Wikipedia is to believed so it's not as though they don't have options available to them.
Depends on the story, no? What if it's Persian's biggest story of the year?
Persian moved into 44D while 54D was upgraded to HD and MOSart. They were the only user of that studio at the time (Arabic having done their "pure 44D stint" before that, then moving into 34D permanently) so this issue wouldn't have occurred - breaking news would have been happily accommodated in 44D. However 44D is now mothballed, is the only BH studio in SD, and the latest plan I heard was to convert it back into office space.
Given that 22:30 in the UK is currently 01:00
in Tehran, and will be 02:00 from the 25th of October, I can’t imagine that BBC Persian will need the studio being honest about it.
On the topic of what happens if bbc Persian tv wants to stay on air longer due to breaking news, can’t newsnight just be moved into E for that night?

Not once the schedule reverts to it starting at 10.30.
Could Persian use 44D, where it was for a while during 54D's refit? Or Newsnight from A?
