Does anyone know why sometimes BBC World showing the title 1 (BBC News in arial font (is it arial?)) and sometimes showing title 2 (BBC News logo circles the globe when the globe pointing at N. America like title 1)?

The first one is TOG generated when there is no specific headline strap.
(well it's better than 'Type Headline Here' isn't it!! ) Laughing

The second are the back up titles running from TX - hence the BBC Boxes.

overnight, the first one is used - when I should have thought the secound would have been better!

I am just waiting for "INSERT HEADLINE HERE" to come around the globe Very Happy it must happen sometime!

Well we've already seen something similar with the In Brief/Headline aston - several times I've noticed the text in the red bar has simply said "2", and in the black the writing has run under the clock (which presumably was meant to be in the red bar).

Where would the globe start to turn from in that case? Razz (My guess is Europe.)

Close, but it's Swiss 721, from what I understand.
