New director general Tony Hall: BBC can overcome crisis

Lord Hall, chief executive of the Royal Opera House and the BBC's former director of news, said he cared passionately about the organisation.
"I am absolutely committed to our news operation as a world-beater," he said.
His appointment follows the resignation of George Entwistle in the wake of the Newsnight Lord McAlpine row.
Speaking at a news conference at the BBC's headquarters in central London, Lord Hall said: "It takes a lot to drag me away from the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, a place I love hugely.
"The reason I'm standing before you today is because I care passionately about the BBC, about what it can do, its programme makers and the impact we have in all sorts of different ways, BBC News reports.
"It's one of those extraordinary organisations which is an absolutely essential part of the UK, of Britain, of who we are, but also has this incredible impact around the world too."
He said he wanted "to build a world-class team for this world-class organisation".
