From what I ascertained from the tweet they are dressing tonight.

Propably becuase they we're put up overnight last night and went to air at 10:00 this morning for the newsroom ones-not sure when we'll see the one for Studio B.

Sunday with Laura K was cut off 5 minutes before the end on the News Channel this morning so they could hit the top of the hour

This proves it isn’t being scheduled on there as a proper service and basically just as a filler for an hour so they don’t have to make a proper News programme

To be honest, I think this is more on the Kuenssberg team than the BBC News channel team. Regardless of the merits of the simulcast, it was scheduled to end at 10:00 but, for the second week in a row, overran. And, quite frankly, this isn't really OK. News has got into a bad habit in recent years of extending programmes/overrunning at the drop of a hat. On big news days extending a bulletin might be acceptable, particularly as extending the Ten doesn't have a bit impact on wider scheduling. But on these sorts of current affairs programming it's not really warranted - if you've failed to time your interviews correctly, that's the programme makers' fault and network shouldn't be okaying the overrun. A light entertainment producer would get it in the neck if they were consistently overrunning a live programme.

There was nothing in the extra 5 minutes that was crucial to the programme. Just the 'talking heads' panel at the end, a long outro from LK, then a recorded carol service clip.

As a result, the BBC One schedule has been pushed back by 5 minutes until after the World Cup Final with the 17:45 bulletin pulling it back.

I actually think it was extended by 5 minutes this morning because the World Cup Final was coming on air 10 minutes earlier than billed

And then Bargain Hunt was changed from an hour to a 45 minute edition

Producers don’t just extend their programme on a whim. They’ll have been given a very specific slot. 

Blame the schedulers, not LK’s team.

Well they did extend on a whim this morning as it was still scheduled to end at 10:00 right up to the last moment, so yes it is LK's team on this one.

I think you’re overthinking just how much power “LK’s team” has. The fact that it was longer for not much reason pretty much makes it obvious that it was a scheduling decision.

Seen last night with the late news, placed on the catwalk, it isn't seen when the camera zooms in further to the curved screen.
