Same Sambrook.  His title is "Director of BBC World Service and Global
news".  Was appointed to the position in July.  He was the one who publicly
disclosed that David Kelly was the source for Andrew Gilligan's story.

Mr. Byford's new title is Deputy-Director General of the BBC.  He now leads
all of the BBC's journalism.  Sambrook reports to Byford, as does Helen
Boaden, director, BBC News, and Pat Loughrey, Director, BBC Nations &
Regions.  See bio here:
