BBC news presenters to switch programmes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MARTYN LEWIS and Peter Sissons, two of the BBC's main news presenters, are to switch programmes in the new year, writes Martin Wroe.
Mr Lewis, who currently presents the Nine O'Clock News, is to present the Six O'Clock News with Anna Ford, replacing Mr Sissons, who is to present the Nine O'Clock News, alternating nights with Michael Buerk.
The decision is a compromise after Mr Lewis scuppered the BBC's original plans by making it clear that he would not be prepared to replace Nicholas Witchell on BBC Breakfast News. The latter is known to want to move. Mr Sissons will retain his anchor role on Question Time.
