It's unfortunate the BBC doesn't think there's a need for a correspondent in the Philippines. Duterte, the South China Sea dispute and Islamist extremism. It also has a significant English-speaking population. Out of the big three international broadcasters the BBC is noticeably absent there.

Which are the other two? CNN and...? Al Jazeera?

Jonah Fisher has been appointed Kiev Correspondent, moving from Myanmar.

Tom Burridge has returned to London from Kiev.

No replacement yet as far as I can tell in Myanmar.
