The BBC has announced its line-up of chief presenters for its revamped TV news channel, following the decision to merge its two channels aimed at viewers in the UK and around the world.

Matthew Amroliwala, Christian Fraser, Yalda Hakim, Lucy Hockings and Maryam Moshiri will lead the line-up.

Other presenters on the two current channels include Jane Hill, Martine Croxall and Ben Brown.

They have not been named among the new chief presenters, however.

A further eight correspondent roles, who will also co-present on the channel, will now be appointed, the corporation said.

BBC News CEO Deborah Turness said she was "thrilled" to announce the lead presenters.

"This team's editorial leadership, talent, knowledge and flair make them the ideal presenters to bring the BBC's trusted journalism to people at home in the UK and around the globe, and to guide audiences through the big stories as they break," she said.
