Somerville to change TV role
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.The newsreader Julia Somerville is leaving News at Ten's 'Focus on Britain' slot to deputise for the anchorman Trevor McDonald, ITN said. Ms Somerville, 45, is not to be replaced as regular presenter for 'Focus On Britain', although the three-times-a-week feature slot, which has come in for criticism, will remain.
