I'm not normally one to wade into the Rota thread, but am I the only person who doesn't really care for Ros Atkins as a presenter? I don't particularly like his delivery and I generally find him quite irritating on-screen, particularly when he ends WHYS with an abrupt 'goodbye' and then turns away from the camera and starts tapping away at his iPad for about five seconds before they cut away from the static camera. He talks so much about involving the viewer (which is essential for World Have Your Say) and invites them to join in by sending emails and tweets that go to his iPad (which he has attached to his hand by something like this, I presume) but then spends the end of the programme facing away from the camera as if the camera isn't there.

I want to see Yalda Hakim present this I want to see what she's like without an auto cue.

Critique: in the words of a well known Michael Jackson song, you are not alone.
Anybody remember when was the last time Juliet Foster showed up on BBC WN?
It has been the first time in a while that I've seen her presenting business...
She presented business so many times on World.....
I know, but I have not seen her lately... that's why I said "first time in a while."
It's usually Sally, Alex, Aaron, and Jaime.
Alex?
I think he meant Alice.
Oh, ok. In answer to the original question, Juliet spent a fair bit of time doing business segments in the afternoons on the NC before they moved to NBH and the segments were axed. Though Alice did too. Given that Ben Thompson's seemingly re-joined the NC as its dedicated business correspondent, and I'm sure Maryam Moshiri said on Twitter a while back that she was returning later this year, I can only imagine one of the above will be displaced. There seems to be too many presenters compared to the number of shifts going.
