They need to go full fat bbc world news or bbc news international with all the branded shows they’ve dropped, simulcast that in the Uk and Uk viewers will get the picture and go off elsewhere for Uk news or tune into the network bulletins or just go to the app, it has to be full throttle and make themselves clear it’s the home of international news from the bbc, as this week has shown you can’t please both audiences it’s impossible.

But it really doesn't need to be 'full fat' BBC World News. It obviously needs to be World-led (which it hasn't this week) due to the financial realities, but there is definitely a reasonable level of UK news that can be included in shared hours, it's just about striking the right balance and having sensible editorial rules in place. Plus dropping any UK output, such as the as yet unseen UK breaking/developing opt, would be a real case of 'cutting of your nose to spite your face' given there is clearly enough money left for some limited services.

Also, I know you like the branded programmes and studios lit differently, but I doubt that is a dealbreaker for a significant number of viewers.
