This is scary and explains why Martine is so vocal about it all on Twitter. Those 5 will probably mostly be World faces, Yalda, Matthew A, Ross A and maybe 2 News channel people but I have no idea who they could be.
The actual tweet suggests five sole presenters and eight presenter-reporters. I imagine that Ros Atkins, as Analysis Editor, would come under the latter. Yalda Hakim would also fit that category, though she might be better suited to just being a reporter - always odd to give her a studio based programme considering how often she is in the field, especially after they tried to do the same with Lyse Doucet in 2010 and that fell apart.
One side effect of the changes, though, seems to be the disentanglement of the News at One and weekend bulletins from the News channel (in that, while likely still simulcast, they will not be on World (and thus probably from B)). I wouldn't be surprised if the News at One presenter gets merged with duty 'UK breaking news opt' presenter, which could save one or two NC faces.
