I think yes, apart from the earlier Breakfast hours. Any time I tuned in yesterday, World News was coming from Studio E.

This morning, the first hour is coming from Studio C with Tim Willcox. (Again, as Breakfast is airing in the UK at this hour).


To keep staff safe the News Channel has effectively shut down and replaced by a simulcast of BBC World News outside BBC One bulletins

The News Channel is operating almost as normal this weekend. If anything it is World that is being sacrificed at the minute but as there is only one story it is not really necessary to have separate bulletins.


Normal programming continues on BBC World at the half hour. I wouldn't say any aspect of the news division has been effectively shut down'. Fran Unsworth made it perfectly clear that all departments of news would combine to ensure the kept all outlets on air. Put simply, it's a collaboration.

World also took the BBC News at One yesterday with Geeta in E. World viewers would have noticed those 15mins being particularly UK-centric and quite parochial in comparison to the rest of the coverage of the day.

It’s a very small price to pay to still receive an excellent combined news service from the BBC at this time.

Which is more than can be said of CNN - of which I am usually a huge fan!

Camera blunder just now at 12pm going to the desk rather than the catwalk. No apology was made.

Embarrassing - and compounded by Ben Brown saying welcome to viewers "around the world" as well.

But trivial in the grand scheme of things.

Simulcasting domestic means international views get a taste of their everyday camera cock ups as well.

Anyway, BBC is doing fine, at least on screen we don't really notice a lack of staff or news, unlike CNNI

It just looked awkward.


But as Jay Lee said above, all rather trivial right now.

I do like Victoria on straight news as it seems to suit her but I do wish she wouldn't start the top of the hour with "Hello how are you?" And say " This is BBC News, I'm Victoria Derbyshire the headlines at 9" like everyone else does.

Did she ask you that as well? I thought she was talking to me.

It's always trivial

Although I would personally prefer she didn't do that as well, it's the same reason as to why Huw always says "Today/Tonight at X", instead of "This is BBC News, I'm Huw Edwards". It's not a normal introduction, but for Huw, he chooses to present by opening in a different manner to make his bulletin feel like it's not just "some generic BBC News bulletin". Same applies to Victoria imo, even though it doesn't entirely suit presenting from E (imo).
