at the moment the structures are still too london—centric. you talk about expertise. there are already some very experienced journalists leaving because they cannot relocate, so you're going to lose a lot of this expertise. ourjournalists, like anyone else in any business, have big decisions to take if businesses relocate and those decisions aren'tjust professional decisions. they've got families, children, parents, whatever, and we recognise that and we're working through that with the individuals. we very much hope that the vast majority of our experts on these specialist topics will move with us to cardiff, leeds, glasgow, wherever, but i would also expect some turnover, and i'd expect that to mean there are some opportunities for new recruits coming in, and overtime, they will become familiar experts. jonathan munro, thank you. since 2017, the bbc has published each year the salaries of its top—earning presenters, having resisted the idea at first but being forced to do so by the government. this week, for the first time, it revealed wh

the red phone box is synonymous with london. when they were first introduced in the 1920s, they gave many poorer londoners access to the phone for the very first time, and after countless appearances in films, tv shows and music videos, they became something of an icon both here and around the world. you say london, it is the red telephone box. the first thing that comes into my mind when i think of britain, was either the queen or the red phone booth. although as more people got access to their own phone at home, the numbers of actual calls being made from them dropped. now, i can remember when i first came here 20 years ago, using a phone box was a really big event, it was like, "i have arrived in london." and i probably took several dozen selfies in one of these things. these days it is just clear it isn't being used much. and frankly it isn't the nicest place to be. the smell is not ideal, either. i might get out of here. even though a lot of these phone boxes aren't in the best shape now, there is a group of londoners who s
