It might have some original reports, but wouldn't it just be easier to show them during World bulletins than to suffer through a number of logistical and commercial hurdles to show a bulletin that is disproportionately UK news during what will be some of World's only separated hours?
I just don't see who benefits here - if done properly, the UK has to have their flagship bulletin's structure butchered to accomodate World specifications, while World get a less relevant bulletin. Even on the (more justifiable) tape delay back-half route, is it really worth the hassle of an additional editor?
