I don't get the constant vagueness by the BBC on this.
If it is the first option, I'm intrigued because it'd certainly require more resources (and presenters) than I assumed - in which case, there are many questions about why they aren't offering a permanent UK daytime opt.
I suspect the constant vagueness, as you put it, is because the BBC don't really know themselves how it will all work. My expectation is that how any UK-specific breaking news is covered will depend on the importance of the story. I think we'll probably see all of the options you mention at some point, again, depending on the story.
