Bit late to the party here, but what was the rationale behind Marianna Spring's report from the 'Hub' in the newsroom? The idea was extremely gimmicky, but they already have a huge touchscreen in Studio B - why wasn't that used? Ignoring the fact that it looked dire (along with the rest of the newsroom pres), if the BBC are trying to save money here, would it not be cheaper to have a correspondent in a studio that's already in use?

May be they want to have a spare explainer place so they could more freely choose time to record those explainers? Studio B tends to be occupied sometimes by the national bulletins and BBC London (oh, and Laura K once a week). Nationals still need rehearsals for half-an-hour.

Context brought panel at 20:08, BTW, and they kept talking while Trump was flying and getting of the plane, with a couple of live crossings to the actual BBC reporter, Nada Tawfik.

Oh, and all BBC schedules are still blissfully unaware that Context is here and back for good.
