There'll be some anxious BBC News presenters over the next year. Top dog in Washington, Jon Sopel, 62, is taking a year-long career break from November, and leaving the USA. There is a reasonably long-standing tradition that, after America, senior Newsgathering figures get the option of a presenter berth when they come off the road - Justin Webb emerged at Today, Mark Mardell got The World This Weekend and a bit of The World At One.
There's a log jam at Today (Sopel has often done summer shifts) after queue jumping by Amol Rajan. Justin Webb is two years younger than Sopel. What WILL happen ?
