Narrative:

One hour into my rest break; crew requested my presence back onto flight deck. Upon entering cockpit I learned that we had lost the entire pneumatic system due to a hpsov problem and follow-up procedure. Requested from center a lower cruise altitude of FL320; something lower than FL350 as would otherwise be directed by the MEL for present operating condition. Just after leveling off at FL320 the right engine bleed light illuminated intermittently; followed by intermittent rt engine hpsov message. I directed flight crew standby with QRH procedure; declared an emergency/mayday squawk 7700; condition with kingston radar and requested descent ultimately 10;000 ft MSL; anticipating the additional loss of the right/both main pneumatic systems. Started the APU. Diverted to a nearby airport; airfield rescue and fire fighters on standby for arrival; landing; taxi to gate. Terminated emergency/mayday with tower. Proceeded to assigned gate. Prior aircraft history of right engine bleed/hpsov events. Maintained cabin pressure altitude within normal operating limits for descent; arrival and landing. Aircraft gross weight for landing below maximum landing weight. First officer's and flight attendants handled outlined situation as professionals covering all brief and checklist procedures -- outstanding job. Passengers; although inconvenienced; were all positive and thanked the crew for a calm/safe resolution.
