So today has seen Tanya Beckett make her first network appearance in 2 decades, and now Nicky Schiller presenting on BBC News (24) for the first time in 2 decades.
What next? Sarah Montague doing the Ten?
Basically anyone apart from Martine, Annita, Karin Et al gets a go these day.

Isn't it just so utterly bizarre? Can't quite get my head around it.

I still reckon there’s some sort of dispute which is being kept very quiet.

It seems that ever since the merger, whenever the News at Ten doesn't begin at the TOTH or is truncated, the UK feed will take WNA and move HARDtalk to 2230 instead, so as to facilitate easier scheduling.
This is the case for tonight where the NaT is truncated to 20 minutes on BBC One. Why not utilize the UK opt presenter to fill time from the balcony instead just like other bulletins? Isn't that it was mentioned here that the UK opt presenter is on standby until 2300 every weekday?

Shhhhhh.... don't give them ideas! What they're doing tonight is much cleaner. They should do it every night IMO.

At least we don't appear to have lost Ben Brown (yet!)

Whenever the presenter name checks the weather presenter near the top of the hour, the World feed has opted out for pre-records, so the UK feed doesn't need a timed outro at :56.
For example, every weekday at around 1953, the World feed will opt out for their 5-minute Click/Travel Show/Witness History preview. The UK feed will stay with Yalda for a few more domestic stories before Yalda hands over to the weather presenter. No outro is needed during these separate blocks.

HARDTalk was moved to 22:30 since there is no Newsnight today, not because of truncated Ten (although the two occasions usually coincide as they mean Bank Holiday).
Actually, what they did at 6 was very unusual by their new standards, one would expect for the UK feed to stay with the World, like they do on weekends. May be they could not get a spare presenter this late to do the same thing for 10? It's a Bank Holiday, after all.
Speaking of WNA, Azadeh Moshiri is settling in her second week of anchoring WNA and made her debut in that role on a UK feed today.
Marathon shifts remain in DC only on Saturday overnight, with all 6 hours done by a single presenter.
Even last Friday's overnight was split between Carl Nasman doing 11pm & 12am as well as Friday's WNA (Azadeh had her day off) and Sumi taking over from 1am.

One would assume three of the team are out this week rehearsing, filming the Coronation and Election. Hopefully we'll see a bit more of Jane Hill.

A rare moment in news presentation... The UK feed is currently taking Wales Today to cover the Wrexham AFC Victory Parade:
