Can't they just do what they used to do on overnights - have the presenter read a few UK stories while World is on break?? And give us a proper ident with music into and out of a break, back!  The current set up is a mess for both feeds.

Isn’t it This Week in History during overnight breaks?

I wouldn’t say I was the most observant viewer in the world but sweet lord… how has the BBC standards fallen so low to be outputting this horrid mis mash of old and new, with lots of silly errors in between .

These technical errors didn’t happen on the news channel, they didn’t happen on World News and they didn’t happen yesterday… why are they happening today?!

Because BBC News and BBC World News were well-honed operations that had been using the same format, largely unchanged, for decades.  Breaking out of live programming to cut to a clip studio setup for an entire afternoon of breaking news, dealing with a new conversation and analysis-based format and trying to shoehorn hastily-edited regional reports into 1 minute advert gaps… there’s a lot going on right now that won’t be second nature to them yet.

The real question is whether this merged format will work over the longer-term, mostly from an editorial perspective, and to a lesser extent where will the presentation end up over time.  But I have no doubt the operation will become a lot slicker and more technically competent over time.

Would understand if it was a start up but we’re talking about the BBC. The same BBC who have run not one, but two news channels for decades. They don’t seem to have used the decades of experience and knowledge that they have to ensure silly mistakes don’t happen.

Did they not know they would need a one minute regional report yesterday that could be used throughout the day.
Did they not know they would be swapping studios today and would need to use have the same graphics available to both
Did they not have a ticker that simply pulled headlines from the website yesterday without user intervention.
Did they not decide if there were going to continue to put the local time next to the live and location tag for world viewers - sometimes it there, sometimes not.
Did they not know there there was a back bar constantly on screen some butting a graphic below it would be hidden and messy.

If only they had had a month of a fully joint services last month or an ever increasing join services day in, day out for months.

 I meant overnights long time ago, and The World Today (05.00 BST) which was shown on News 24 and BBC1. They would go to the overnight presenter to give a UK news update during World breaks.

BBC News global pre-empted Focus on Africa to cover Floridaman Trump's flight to New York


UPDATE: Matthew's shift ends and Yalda Hakim took over the coverage on the global feed, while UK feed airs the News at Six

Straight from the Mar-A-Lago coverage into the News at Six on domestic, no outro.

They are doing uninterrupted coverage right now, ditching ads, weather and everything. Yalda starts at 6.

Meanwhile in Studio B "News" is now red instead of former black.

UPD. 6 titles are tweaked, too, to accomodate BBC and News. Looks weird with that globe shifted in the end and 6 way too close to the edge.

At 1800, the UK feed opted out for NaS. World feed has Yalda Hakim picking up rolling coverage in Studio E. Title sequence on NaS are mostly the same as before but with chameleon brandings.

[IanJRedman]

Updated titles on the News at Six. The picture quality was a little blurry, like blended frames or something similar?

[ginnyfan]

Yalda is in E.

Oh my god those news clips from nations and regions during the 1-minute break - titled Across the UK - are some short news videoclip which are normally made for the BBC News website…

And often used on local news.
