I'm not sure what her regular reporting role is (I know she reported from Kyiv last year) but after today I wouldnt be adverse to seeing her more on the News Channel. Maybe one of the presenter reporter roles?

She’s Middle East Correspondent, but as you say has covered Kyiv to Turkey’s earthquake.

But before that she was the presenter of Five Live Drive for some time - she’s an excellent broadcaster.

For comparison, it got coverage on CNN (One World) earlier, they played out an ITN package and followed it with an interview.

I’m not sure I agree that it wouldn’t have got extensive coverage before - it may well not have got the full rolling coverage but the UK’s most prolific killer of babies in modern times would be a major story on BBC World of any variant.

The one element that didn’t work was having the 3pm hour branded ‘Verified Live’. It’s bad enough at the best of times, but seriously just run the normal titles.
