Yalda yields

Sky News seem to have poached BBC News presenter Yalda Hakim. Presumably they saw her recently-made-public salary, at £178k +, and decided to move in.  Or perhaps Yalda's not enjoying life as much at Auntie as she did when joining in 2012. 

It was in February this year that Yalda, 40 (Macarthur Girls High and Macquarie University) was announced as one of the five chief presenters for the about-to-be-merged BBC News Channel. Her salary matches that of fellow CP Matthew Amroliwala, but is behind the £190k afforded to lanky Hard Talk host Stephen Sackur. 

Interim channel runner Paul Royall says another of the Famous Five, Maryam Moshiri, will move to host the Daily Global, but that presumably still leaves a vacancy for a new CP....
