Why has Mike Embley (Newsroom South East presenter) been presenting BBC News 24 recently? He presented instead of Brenda Paterson a few weeks ago, and he was on instead of Maxine Mawhinney this morning. Poor bloke - he kept making mistakes, such as leaving long pauses during the headline bed at quater past the hour as he didn't know what to say!

Didn't Mikes' old Newsroom South East partner Gwenan Edwards go over to BBC News 24 a few months ago? Maybe he misses her...

Jane-Benett Powell is by far the worst news presenter, I hope she never presents again, she is an awful presenter, she didn't even thanks the sports presenter right next to her!

I reckon either Susan Osman or Anna Jones. Could be Geeta Guru Murthy.
