The winner of the latest of James Harding's new posts at BBC News is about to be unveiled. The title News Editor will be bestowed on an insider - Gavin Allen, currently editing political thinking at the BBC's Millbank operation in Westminster. Gavin, 44, (Oundle and Christ's College, Cambridge) has been executive editor of Question Time, The Daily Politics and worked on Today.
We're not sure if he clicked with James Harding in Mandarin; Gavin and his wife adopted a baby from Beijing in 2005, and he's been learning the language ever since.
