Yalda Hakim, one of the BBC News channel’s top presenters who was recently promoted, is leaving the organisation to go for Sky News.
Hakim has only had the highly sought-after position for just four months, having been personally chosen as one of five main presenters for the new BBC News channel.
Hakim will host a new primetime international news broadcast in her new position as Sky News’ chief world news presenter. Later this year, at an unspecified time, she will assume the position.
