Also the astons seem to be covering up the LIVE graphic. Does this happen on News 24?
In the old automated studio the "LIVE" gets mixed on the top when there is a feed from an external source, so no.
Except when sharing with BBC World, where it goes as "L I V E" under the DOG.

The One from Westminster is using News 24 astons. Dodgy camera shots too.

Not too much of a surprise, bit of a shame though. Must annoy those working on it.

They've mentioned the power problems on the News, and given details of why they are broadcasting from Westminster.

Erm someone mention on Page 156 (WOW) that there was a fire, the big long one - which was going to summerise.
There was no fire, it was an electrical fault which developed some smoke, which actuated the alarm system.
It's on the BBC News Website.

Power cut interrupts BBC services
BBC News 24 moved to the Westminster studio
Some of the BBC's radio and television services, including Radio 4, Five Live and News 24, were forced off air by a power cut and a fire alert on Friday.
Radio 4's Today programme was off air for 16 minutes from 0753 GMT.
News 24 had to broadcast from the BBC One Breakfast sofas before moving to studios elsewhere in London.
An electrical problem in BBC Television Centre, west London, caused the power cut, BBC Director of News Richard Sambrook said.
We will have to look carefully at what happened and at our procedures for coping with it - there will be lessons to learn
Richard Sambrook
Director, BBC News
The fault caused equipment to overheat, setting off the fire alarm - but there was no fire, Mr Sambrook said.
"I am told the cause of the problem was an electrical fault... which took out all technical power and also prevented the diesel back-up generators from working.
"The problem generated the smoke that was encountered in some areas, but there was no fire."
Philip Hayton earlier hosted News 24 from the Breakfast studio
He also praised staff who made sure normal service was resumed as quickly as possible.
The power cut and fire alarm forced parts of TV Centre to be evacuated twice.
BBC One's One O'Clock News was broadcast from alternative studios but the six and 10 o'clock bulletins are expected to come as normal from TV Centre.
