BBC News | Presenter & Correspondent Reshuffles

Chris Morris has returned to the UK after being Europe Correspondent in Brussels.

He has been replaced in Brussels by Kevin Connolly (formerly Middle East Correspondent based in Jerusalem).

Thomas Fessy has been posted to Jerusalem for several months from his West Africa base at Dakar to cover the Middle East.

Jon Donnison has been replaced by Hywel Griffith as Sydney correspondent and has returned to the U.K.

Sian Lloyd has in turn replaced Hywel Griffith as Wales correspondent (previously Midlands correspondent).

Victoria Fritz has gone on unexpected early maternity leave after giving birth after presenting the biz segments on Breakfast yesterday.

So the business team is now two presenters down with Alice Baxter and now Victoria on leave.

That's fine, it mirrors the performance of the economy in recent months !

Hi all

I've been reading this forum for years now and finally decided to contribute.

I think this is the correct thread to put this important news

Welcome to the forum

This has actually been mentioned in another thread but possibly around the same time as you posted it. Interesting appointment and an interesting position.

Naga Munchetty to join Newsnight.

Naga is to fill-in as Business Editor whilst the current Editor is on maternity leave. Some would say it's nice to see Naga going back to her business roots, on BBC2 of all places!

So who is going to get the Thursday-Saturday Breakfast presenting role, I wonder?

Steph McGovern or Sally Nugent would be a good shouts.

Or Tina Daheley or Rachel Burden.
