I highly doubt Focus on Africa will be shown in the UK, as it wouldn't draw any viewers at all.
kinda suspect it will be replaced with a UK opt-out and something in the ways of Sportsday.
Still, best option would be showing FoA, with several repeats over the course of the day, but on the African feed only.
In the same way that World News America is shown several times in North America, but not even once in the UK.
For European viewers, UK stories are much more relevant and I would say expected from BBC News.
I'm still hoping for News at Six, News at Ten and Newsnight to eventually appear on the European feed.
Perhaps when the BBC need to save even more money. Asian viewers are asleep at that time anyway.
Isn't that breakfast time in some parts of Asia? Indonesia and Singapore, for example? Either way it would be weird for a broadcast of "NewsNIGHT" to be broadcast on an international feed at what could literally be any time if the day. Similar even for your proposed target audience in Europe - are we going to start calling it "News at 10 at 11 or 12 or 1 depending on where you are"?
