radio-canada promotes celine galipeau to top news anchor

Radio-Canada, Canda's French public broadcaster, has named long-time foreign correspondent Céline Galipeau as its new national news anchor, replacing veteran journalist and current chief anchor Bernard Derome: Radio-Canada promotes Céline Galipeau to top anchor spot.

The promotion makes Galipeau, who is of French-Canadian-Vietnamese descent, Canada's first permanent female national news anchor, which is obviously a pretty groundbreaking move. Here's the news, um, I think, in French: Céline Galipeau remplacera Bernard Derome.
