Lucy Watson, the US correspondent for Daybreak in New York, is to be ITV News' new China Correspondent.

Confirmation here:




Does this mean that Angus Walker is leaving ITV News?

Yep. Looking on his Twitter he puts "Clearly wasn't doing my job well enough" which indicated he may of been sacked?

What could cause ITN to think that Angus wasn't doing his job well enough. I never saw anything wrong with the way in which he reported.

If you read that string of tweets, I think the comment relates to (not) upsetting the Chinese Government rather than the view of his bosses.

This is becoming laughable. Just how bloody naive can you get?

Angus Walker is simply relocating to Sweden - the tweet you keep obsessing over was nothing but a throwaway jest. He quite clearly was not sacked, and the sooner you stop trying to come up with explanations for his apparent dismissal, the better.

Exactly - people forget the people on screen have a family off screen which they have to think about.

I wonder if we will see Lucy Meacock presenting the national news again; it has been a while since she last did it?

She had a gap of at least a couple of years between national appearances at one point

I thought it was years since she last was on and was at least during the yellow look.

Turns out according to this Youtube video that she has presented during the current look and it was only last June.


So I'd say once Summer hits and holidays start then she might be back on our screens again.

Apologies if it has already been mentioned. However, Lawrence McGinty's replacement as science correspondent has been announced on Friday as Alok Jha from the Guardian newspaper.

Joel Hills on tonight's NaT. Is this his first on screen appearance? He's energetic and lively isn't he???

He appeared on last Wednesday's News at Ten - this is his second appearance. Seems to be a decent reporter from what I've seen.

I Believe that he was also on last Thursday's News at Ten also.
