who are unhappy that they feel they re getting a worse service. essentially it s a takeover of the uk channel by world news, isn t it, with some opt outs? it s not a takeover. i ll go back to what i said earlier in the sense that during the day there are two feeds, a global feed and the uk feed. sometimes they re combined. on any given weekday, there s 7.5 hours of uk facing content built into the schedule for uk viewers before you even think about the combined feed. and it could be that a uk story might be the top story globally on a given day, and also obviously significant uk stories will be in that combined rundown anyway. and because we re using new technology and we re innovating, we are going to have other ways, and other flexible ways, where we can deliver uk stories for audiences when we need to. so, for example, we ve been rehearsing that and piloting this over the last few weeks, and i already know sitting here today there are stories next
