Presumably Katya is still the Europe editor, but she's presenting network BBC 1 news tonight because the current network news team is currently stretched.
I assume the 5 female anchors who are more than capable of presenting shifts on the NC or BBC 1 network news are still barred from appearing on screen, 6 months after they last appeared, despite still being on full pay.

Has she ever presented news bulletins before?

Katya presented on BBC World during weekends for quite a few years and also filled-in for Zeinab Badawi on the World News Today programme from Studio C. She’s no stranger to newsreading, albeit hasn’t for a few years.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure whether she had as I haven’t seen her presenting a bulletin before.

I think I remember her on either BBC One or NC during a bank holiday once a few years back too.

Vicki Young has been on within the past week so I suspect it’s a mistake.

Every time I switch to the BBC News channel these days, I feel like I'm seconds away from a cock-up - whether it's a presenter fluffing their script, a gallery issue (e.g. VT not playing properly), a reporter at the scene or the presenter not realising they're on camera, the countdown messing up. Even if there is no cock-up and all goes smoothly, the experience of the last 6 months of the new merged channel has just led me to associate cock-ups with the channel. That plus a questionable presenting rosta, questionable graphical presentation and a lack of direction. The difference between the BBC News Channel these days and the generally slick operation that is Sky News is like comparing night and day.

Good of you to shoehorn this in, I hadn't seen it mentioned for a few days.

Are they of National standards 🤔? Debatable
