This morning (sunday) BBC World News was on news 24 as usual at 09.30. After a report Anita Mcnaught announced that more info on that report would be on Eurobrief. Only thing was she said that it was on at 08.30 GMT on monday morning on BBC World. What use was that to anyone watching news 24. If anything most viewers who were watching probably went HHHUUUGGGHHHHHH whats BBC World. Anyone else with an eagle eye like me notice this or was everybody still in bed?

Sorry, still in bed, kipping. It sounded like a daft mistake to make by the presenter.

What is the program Eurobrief all about BTW?

Yes I saw it too!

EuroBreif is a programme on News 24/World presented by David Jessel, and it is about Europe!

Minor error earlier this afternoon that made me laugh, but probably no-one else. I believe it was Maxine M----.

She wanted to say: 'The Party faces stiff opposition' But, surprisingly, she got the F and the P mixed up.

Well, I thought it was funny anyway.

Maxine Mawhinney - one of n24s best presenters but sadly not on often enough
