Who presented the BBC News Special at 1200pm? Was it Philippa Thomas?
BTW, when the BBC News Specials were on a week ago, they were with Gavin Esler from Washington, at 1700 and 2100, but was there one at 1200, and who presented it?

Yeah it was Philippa Thomas. At 12.30 pm ET World Business Report came on - it was interrupted with the White House news conference -- after some satellite trouble Nick Gowing came on from London
BTW, Philippa 'broke' the story on BBC World about the second strikes…
Some coverage from TWT this morning. The special music (which is fantastic BTW!) was not used. They played the ordinary opening headline vamp, followed by the ordinary titles. However, the end titles and the 0530 ident were 'The World Today Special' ones!!
It was the first time I saw the show and I thought it was very good -- Martine was excellent
Tanya had some technical problems -- but she got through them…
Wish I could watch it every night!

Saw BBC's huge Washington DC set @ Noon ET today...
BBC World still on America, though with the same two or three commercials acting as break fillers...
