                     As part of a global reorganization, the BBC has announced
                     that its Hong Kong bureau will be upgraded to a regional hub,
                     complete with full digital production facilities and production
                     manpower. 

                     The #15 million (US$25 million) BBC international overhaul, will
                     see reorganization of 42 bureaus and the establishment of
                     seven regional hubs. 

                     Other bureaus upgraded to regional hubs are Brussels,
                     Moscow, Delhi, Johannesburg, Washington and Jerusalem. 

                     News chief executive, Tony Hall, says the changes are part of
                     a strategy to keep the BBC in the forefront of global
                     newsgathering. 

                     "I am determined BBC news will stand head-and-shoulders
                     above the competition," he told Reuters.
