It doesn't look good, the transition is strange, i.e., "Around the World and across the UK this is BBC News", little transition into BBC theme song, and some text and images.
There's no context of what's happening, like why are we going from a presenter, to a theme tune and powerpoint slide of news??
And then we break out of this filler very abruptly, "You're live with BBC News".
It's awkward, it's not polished, and I think it looks and sounds worse than Around the UK.
There's no reason why the presenter can't just read it out.
Or if they want to keep the section, just close and open it properly with the closing and opening titles of the program. That would work well, like they used to do on BBC World News before and after an ad break.
I am guessing its meant to imitate the good old breakfiller, although that was proper segmented with news, business, weather and sport with the schedule for BBC World News, that wouldnt work these days however as they wouldnt be able to example the schedule for example, i dont get why its red with circles, it must be a hint of the direction BBC News is going on branding wise.
