They said that is was Egton house, but that's been knocked down.
and rebuilt
What? Rebuilt somewhere else? Wasn't it in the way of the new BH so they knocked it down, or do you mean rebuilt as in replaced by the new wing of BH?

EDIT: Well, the front page, anyway. Very pretty, even if I can't understand a word!

Don't forget that BBC Arabic is NOT being made by BBC News (i.e. the people who make BBC One bulletins, News 24 and provide BBC World with news content) it is being produced by BBC World Service - and is surprisingly distant in branding terms.
AIUI the music is not David Lowe - but I would expect BBC News stuff to remain with David.
The graphic look was actually created by BBC News graphics (who pitched against commercial companies) - whereas the new BBC News look is being done by Lambie Nairn.

I know this, but the music is good, and could be suitable for BBC News

Well I think most people here would think this is a shame as the BBC Arabic graphics look very very good - as opposed to what we've heard about the LM branding which is 'mostly grey'!!!
Also ironic that BBC News graphics have never created anything this good for BBC News!
