Thanks for all that, but this bit is very interesting!

Yes, Why are they dropping the headlines? That seems like a very odd decision.

May be it is to hide the "merged" nature of the channel, seen on display during the headlines? During the hour they might be able to intertwine the UK stories with the international ones, so that they will not stand out to viewers overseas. It is much trickier to do with the headlines.
