Nick Robinson has announced he is leaving his job as the BBC's political editor after ten years.
The journalist will be staying within the corporation though, as he moves to a presenting role replacing James Naughtie on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the BBC reports.
Robinson has described it as an "honour" to step into Naughtie's shoes and said he is looking forward to hearing other people's political analysis.
He said: "I cannot remember a time when my morning did not begin with Today - the programme - setting the nation's agenda.

"I'm delighted that all these years later I am being given the chance to sit in what was his chair."

The Heineken product placement in Skyfall is all very well but our hero is clearly bombed, James bombed
✒ I saw the new Bond film, Skyfall, at the weekend, and enjoyed it mightily. But there were one or two puzzles that I can mention without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it. Heineken paid a fortune for product placement, and you do see a couple of Heineken cases during the car chase. But when Bond is drinking it, he has his fingers over the name on the label, and is clearly a boozy wreck. Does Heineken want to send the message, "the lager for drunken sots"?
There were no Americans at all, and there was no scene in America, but lots in China. Has Hollywood finally decided that's where the big money is? Oh, and I think I've spotted the baddie for Bond film 24, and I'd be interested to know...

A Guardian journalist, he returned to his native Ireland to make the masterly film Rocky Road to Dublin
Peter Lennon, who has died of cancer at the age of 81, was at the same time a Dubliner, an honorary Parisian and a Guardian man. The honesty and integrity of his writing during two lengthy periods on the newspaper were also reflected in his one excursion into film, Rocky Road to Dublin (1968), which was both an indictment of and an impassioned plea for his native Ireland, and quickly came to be recognised as a documentary masterpiece. "If one is a true patriot, you criticise your own country," he later wrote when reflecting on the uproar it caused.
His relationship with the Guardian was not always smooth. During budget cuts in 1969, the paper, which had been struggling financially, suddenly let his contract lapse after a decade of distinguished freelance service in Paris. He successfully sued,...
