BBC News | Presenter & Correspondent Reshuffles

More to it maybe he has family he can see. Tonnes of reasons personal to bbc benifits to just role needs to filled. He may not stay long.

An editor position at BBC News, even the on-air ones, are much higher paid and come with more responsibility than anchoring your own programme on BBC World News. The editor positions apply right across BBC News, radio, TV and online, so much bigger than just BBC World News.

But wouldn't OS move to stay in line with British time?

Yes there is no 18:00GMT BBC World News Bulletin during the winter anymore as Outside Source is broadcast then instead but Karin will present the 17:00GMT bulletin

Quite correct!

Basic error on my part!!

Has Kim Ghattas moved to Islamabad?

Isn't Karin on assignment still? Does Lucy Hockings still present Impact on a Friday?

Kim Ghattas was filling in for a short period in Islamabad, but is now heading back to Washington to her State Department role.

Shaimaa Khalil will be the new Pakistan correspondent, replacing Aleem Maqbool who is now based in Washington.

As posted on the presenter thread:
Steve Evans is moving from Berlin to Seoul
Lucy Williamson is moving from Seoul to Paris
Sarah Rainsford is moving from Havana to Moscow
Damian Grammaticus is moving from Beijing to Brussels
Mark Lowen is moving from Athens to Istanbul
James Reynolds is moving from Istanbul to Rome
Jenny Hill is moving from BBC Breakfast to Berlin
Shaimaa Khalil is moving from BBC World Service Newsday to Islamabad

It would appear Daniel Sandford is the Moscow correspondent moving

I always enjoy trying to figure out who is going where in these reshuffles - it's like putting a jigsaw together!

Any more confirmed changes for correspondents?

Not as yet.

We'll find out later in the summer I imagine as the changes take place.

There will have to be another set of names to fill in posts that are vacated by the moves above.
